Product Overview

The Cisco Metro Ethernet (ME) 3600X switch is an Ethernet access switch.

The Cisco ME 3800X switch is a carrier Ethernet aggregation switch.

Throughout this document, the Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X are referred to as the switch.

• Fan Module, page 1-12

• Management Options, page 1-13

Setting Up the Switch

See the Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Getting Started Guide on Cisco.com for instructions on

how to initially configure your switch. The getting started guide also covers switch management options,

basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection procedures, and

troubleshooting.

For instructions on setting up your switch using the CLI, see Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with

the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Switch Models

You can deploy the switch as a backbone switch, aggregating 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T,

and fiber-optic Ethernet traffic from other network devices.

See the switch software configuration guide for examples that show how you might deploy the switch in

your network.

Figure 1-2 shows the Cisco ME-3600X-24TS-M. The copper 10/100/1000Base-T/TX downlink ports are

grouped in pairs. The first member of the pair (port 1) is above the second member (port 2). Port 3 is

above port 4, and so on.

Figure 1-2 Cisco ME-3600X-24TS-M Front Panel

BITS Port

The Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) port is an RJ-45 interface that provides external

synchronized clocking through a timing signal generator (TSG). The BITS input is an external timing

reference that must be traceable to a stratum 3 clock or better. The BITS port on the switch can be

configured to accept either a T1 or an E1 framed input. Although this clock input is T1 or E1 framed, it

does not carry data and cannot be used for any other purpose than to derive clocking for the system.

Alarm Input Port

The switch supports four alarm inputs. The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. Use the CLI to define

each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define the alarm

severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm

message, and the corresponding Alarm LED responds (see the “Alarm LEDs Description” section on

page 1-9).

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Front Panel

Management and Console Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the

10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or the console port. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port

connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console port

connection uses a RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s, and its traffic is

isolated from the other ports. See Table 1-7 for descriptions of the Ethernet management port LEDs. See

the “10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port” section on page B-3 for pinout information.

For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Console Port Adapter Pinouts” section on

page B-8.

10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum

cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5,

Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use

Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default. The switch ports configure themselves to operate at

the speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly

set the switch port speed and the duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports

autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the

connection.

For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is

enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and

configures the interface accordingly. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for

connections to a switch 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of

the connection.

SFP+ and SFP Modules

The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules are used for connections to other devices. These

transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP+

module slot. You can use any combination of SFP+ or SFP modules. The SFP+ modules have LC

connectors for fiber-optic connections. The SFP+ module slots support SFP+ and 1000BASE-X SFP

modules. The SFP+ module slots do not support 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-T modules.

Use only Cisco SFP+ or SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM

that is encoded with security information.

SFP Module Patch Cable

The SFP downlink ports supports the SFP module patch cable, a 0.5-meter, copper, passive cable with

SFP module connectors at each end. This cable is only used with 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports to connect

two switches in a cascaded configuration.

See the “Inserting and Removing the SFP+ Module Patch Cable” section on page 2-17 for more

information about using the SFP module patch cable.

You can order the SFP module patch cable (part number CAB-SFP-50CM=).

SD Memory Slot

The switch has an SD (secure digital) memory slot for additional non-volatile storage. You can save

configurations or Cisco IOS images and transfer them to other systems. The memory slot supports

standard SD (1 MB and 2 GB) memory cards or SDHC (4 GB) memory cards.

LEDs

You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance.

Power Supply Module Features

The Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X switches support two power supply modules, either AC or DC

input. You can install two AC or DC input power supply modules, a mix of AC and DC input power

supply modules, or one power supply and one fan module. The power supply and fan modules are

hot-swappable.

Caution Both slots must be occupied either by two power supply modules or a power supply and a fan module.

Do not run the switch with an empty slot unless you are replacing a faulty power supply or fan module.

Running the switch with an empty slot triggers an alarm.

Each power supply module contains three fans. The switch can operate safely if one fan fails. A fan

failure triggers an alarm. When a fan fails, replace the power supply module immediately.

See Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and Fan Modules,” for

instructions on installing the AC and DC input power supply and fan module. See Appendix A,

“Technical Specifications,” for voltage and other specifications.

Power Supply Module LEDs

Management Options

• Cisco IOS CLI

You can fully configure and monitor the switch from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by

connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a

remote management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more information.

For setup instructions that use the CLI, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the

CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Management Options

• SNMP network management

You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms

such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management

Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch

software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP

application for more information.

Network Configurations

See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network configuration

concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network configurations that use

the switch to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected through Ethernet connections.
