The Cisco Metro Ethernet (ME) 2400 Ethernet Access switch—also referred to as the switch—is an Ethernet access switch to which you can connect other network devices such as routers, other switches, a home access gateway (HAG), or a computer. This chapter provides a functional overview of the Cisco ME switch. These topics are included: Setting up the Switch, page 1-1 •...
Note 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode or at 10 or 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode. By default, the SFP module ports on the Cisco ME switch are configured as network node Note interfaces (NNIs). A port can be reconfigured from user network interface (UNI) to NNI and the reverse, but only four ports on the switch can be NNIs at the same time.
(port 2) on the left. Port 3 is above port 4, and so on, as shown in Figure 1-1 (the Cisco ME AC switch) and Figure 1-2 (the Cisco ME DC switch). The SFP module slots are numbered 1 and 2. Figure 1-1 Cisco ME 2400 AC Ethernet Access Switch Front Panel...
UNIs and NNIs are supported on the Cisco ME switch. UNIs are typically connected to a host, such as a PC or a Cisco IP Phone. By default, the 10/100 ports on the Cisco ME switch are configured as UNIs.
Product Overview Front Panel Description SFP Module Patch Cable The Cisco ME switch supports the SFP module patch cable, a 1/2 meter, copper, passive cable with SFP module connectors at each end (see Figure 1-3). The patch cable can connect two Cisco ME switches in a cascaded configuration.

POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green. POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST. Note Powering Off the Switch After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch.
Installing the switch in a 24-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included with the Note switch. You can order a kit containing the 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco. The kit part number is RCKMNT-1RU= (700-12398-XX).
For 24-inch racks, use part number RCKMNT-24IN-1RU (700-13248-XX), and see Attaching • Brackets to 24-Inch Racks, page 2-12. • For ETSI racks, use part number RCKMNT-ETSI-1RU= (700-19781-XX), and see Attaching Brackets for ETSI Racks, page 2-14.
