Verifying the network configuration

To verify the software version and network configuration, perform the following commands in any view:
To do...
Display the name, model, and system software version of the switch
Display the current configuration of the switch
Display the interface status and configuration
Display the IP configuration of Layer 3 interfaces
Display information about active routes in the routing table
Display VLAN settings
Display the spanning tree status and statistics

Connecting the switch to the network

Before you connect the switch to the network, verify that all its basic settings are correct.
Connecting your switch to the network through twisted pair
cables
You can use category-5 or above twisted pair cables to connect the 10/100Base-TX and 1000Base-T
ports on your switch to the network. These ports use RJ-45 connectors and support MDI/MDI-X
auto-sensing. For more information about twisted pair cables, see the chapter "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T port to a peer device:
Plug one end of a twisted pair cable into the port.
1.
Plug the other end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the peer device.
2.
Check the port LEDs for incorrect connection.
3.
For more information about the LED status, see the chapter "Appendix C LEDs."

Connecting your switch to the network through optical fibers

You can install a transceiver module (see the chapter "Installing modules") in a fiber port and use optical
fibers to connect the port to the network. For more information about optical fibers, see the chapter
"Appendix D Cables."
This section takes connecting an LC fiber connector as an example.
To connect a fiber port to a peer device through optical fibers:
Install a transceiver module into the port.
1.
Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and clean the end of the optical fiber.
