3. సంస్థాపన
Follow these steps to safely install the network module into a compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300 series switch.
భద్రతా జాగ్రత్తలు:
- Ensure the switch is powered off and disconnected from the power source before installation.
- ఎలెక్ట్రోస్టాటిక్ డిశ్చార్జ్ను నివారించడానికి గ్రౌండెడ్ ఉపరితలంతో అనుసంధానించబడిన ESD- నివారణ మణికట్టు పట్టీని ధరించండి.
- Handle the module by its edges; avoid touching components or connectors.
ఇన్స్టాలేషన్ దశలు:
- స్విచ్ సిద్ధం చేయండి: Power off the Cisco Catalyst 9300 series switch and disconnect all power cables.
- మాడ్యూల్ స్లాట్ను గుర్తించండి: Identify an available network module slot on the rear panel of the switch. If a blank cover is present, remove it by unscrewing the captive screws and pulling the cover out.
- మాడ్యూల్ను చొప్పించండి: Align the network module with the empty slot. Gently slide the module into the slot until it is fully seated. Ensure the module's connectors engage properly with the switch's backplane.
- మాడ్యూల్ను భద్రపరచండి: Tighten the captive screws on the module's faceplate to secure it firmly in place.
- పవర్ని మళ్లీ కనెక్ట్ చేయండి: పవర్ కేబుల్లను స్విచ్కి తిరిగి కనెక్ట్ చేసి, దాన్ని ఆన్ చేయండి.
- ఇన్స్టాలేషన్ను ధృవీకరించండి: After the switch boots up, verify that the module is detected and operational through the switch's command-line interface (CLI) or management interface.
4. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు
Once the network module is installed, you can begin configuring and using its 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Connecting SFP28 Transceivers:
- Select Transceivers: Use only Cisco-qualified 25G SFP28 transceivers compatible with the Catalyst 9300 series.
- Insert Transceiver: Gently insert the SFP28 transceiver into one of the module's 25G slots until it clicks into place.
- ఫైబర్ ఆప్టిక్ కేబుల్ కనెక్ట్ చేయండి: Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the SFP28 transceiver. Ensure the cable type matches the transceiver specifications (e.g., multimode or single-mode).
- Verify Link Status: Check the port status LEDs on the module or use the switch's CLI to confirm that the link is up and operational.
Basic Configuration (CLI Example):
For detailed configuration, refer to the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide. Below is a basic example for interface configuration:
Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# interface TwentyFiveGigabitEthernet X/Y/Z (Replace X/Y/Z with actual interface ID)Switch(config-if)# description Uplink_to_CoreSwitch(config-if)# no shutdownSwitch(config-if)# speed 25000Switch(config-if)# duplex fullSwitch(config-if)# endSwitch# write memoryగమనిక: The interface numbering (X/Y/Z) depends on the specific switch model and slot where the module is installed. Consult your switch documentation for exact interface identification.
5. నిర్వహణ
