10/100BASE-T Ports
You can set the 10/100BASE-T ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full
duplex, or 10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex auto-negotiation. The default
setting is auto-negotiate.
When set for auto-negotiation, the switch determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached
device, and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports auto-negotiation, the
switch negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex
transmission if the attached device supports it), and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the
attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).
The 10/100BASE-T ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328
feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX 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.

Note On the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC switch module, the first four 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports (FE0/1, FE0/2,
FE0/3, FE0/4) are PoE+ ports.

PoE and PoE+ Ports

The first four 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports (FE0/1, FE0/2, FE0/3, FE0/4) on the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC
switch module are PoE+ ports.

Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

These PoE+ ports provide:

• Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4 W PoE per port) and support for
IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30 W PoE+ per port).
• Support for prestandard Cisco powered devices.
• Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including:
– enhanced power negotiation

Ports

– power reservation
– per-port power policing
On the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC model (Copper model), the first four 10/100BASE-T ports (FE0/1,
FE0/2, FE0/3, FE0/4) are PoE+ ports. A maximum of two PoE+ ports or four PoE ports can be
supported at one time.
For information about configuring and monitoring PoE/PoE+ ports, see the “Interface Configuration”
chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration
Guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting Devices to the
Switch Module” section on page 4-4 and the “Cable and Connectors” appendix.

Note The output of the PoE+ circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.

10/100 Mb/s SFP Module Slots

The IEEE 802.3u 100 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 Mb/s connectivity over
multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic
transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and
length.

100/1000 Mb/s SFP Module Slots

The IEEE 802.3u 1000 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over
multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic
transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and
length.

Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Ports

You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports or as SFP
module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them
as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports.
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP).
When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link
goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP module port has priority, but you can use the
media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP
port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information
on configuring interfaces, see the “Interface Configuration” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid
Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
For more information on the SFP module ports see the “Supported SFPs” section on page 1-6 and the
information on the SFP modules connectors and cables in the “Cable and Connectors” appendix.

Router Compact Flash Memory Cards

Compact flash cards can help you configure new or replacement routers, and to recover the configuration
of a failed router. For example, if the Connected Grid Swap Drive feature is enabled, you can transfer
the same system configuration information from one router to another by using a compact flash memory
card (or compact flash card) while the routers are operating. This is done by inserting an optional
compact flash card in slot CF1 and copying all contents of CF0. After the copy operation is completed,
you can remove and insert this compact flash card unit in slot CF0 of either a new router or a replacement
router for a failed unit. When the new or replacement router is rebooted, it uses the configuration from
the compact flash card as the running and startup configuration. This functionality enables you to
quickly configure new or replacement routers with a standard configuration with little or no manual
configuration required.

Express Setup

You access the switch module via the host CGR 2010 router. For more information, see Accessing the
Switch Module, page 4-2.
To exchange and monitor control messages between the switch module and the router, a Router Blade
Configuration Protocol (RBCP) stack operates concurrently on active IOS sessions running on both the
host router and the switch module.
You should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. You can then access the switch module
through the IP address for further configuration.
This chapter contains the following topics:
• System Requirements
• Express Setup
• Troubleshooting Express Setup
• Resetting the Switch Module

Note To use the CLI-based initial setup program, see Appendix A, “Creating an Initial Configuration with the
CLI Setup Program,” in the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software
Configuration Guide.

System Requirements
You need the following software and cables to run Express Setup:
• PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 7
• Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, or Firefox 1.5, 2.0, or later) with JavaScript enabled
• Straight-through or crossover Category 5 or Category 6 cable

Express Setup
Follow these steps to start Express Setup:

Step 1 Disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on your web browser, and any wireless client running on
your computer.

Step 2 Verify that no device is connected to the switch module.

Step 3 Temporarily configure your computer to use DHCP, if it has a static IP address. The switch module acts
as a DHCP server.

Tip Write down the static IP address, as you need this address in a later step.

Step 4 Power on the CGR 2010 router. Once the host router is powered up, the router automatically powers up
the switch model.
For more information, see “Powering Up the Router” in Chapter 4, “Configuring the Router,” in the
Cisco Connected Grid Routers 2010 Hardware Installation Guide.
Once the switch module powers on, it starts the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which can take up to two
minutes.
• During POST, the System LED blinks green and then port LEDs turn green
• When POST is complete, the System LED remains green and the other LEDs turn off

Note If the System LED blinks green, does not turn green or turns amber, the switch module failed
POST. Contact your Cisco representative or reseller.

Step 5 Press the recessed Express Setup button with a simple tool, such as a paper clip. You might need to press
the button for 3 seconds. When you press the button, the switch module 10/100 Ethernet port LED blinks
green.

Step 6 Select one of the following:

• For the Copper Model (GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC), connect a Cat 5 or 6 cable to the blinking
10/100BASE-T port, and the plug the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer
• For the SFP Fiber Model (GRWIC-D-ES-6S), connect a Category 5 or Category 6 cable to the
100/1000BASE-T port of the dual-purpose port (GE0/1), and then plug the other end to the Ethernet
plug on your computer
Wait until the port LEDs on the switch module and your computer are either green or blinking green
(indicates successful connection).

Tip If the port LEDs are not green after 30 seconds, verify you are using Cat 5 or 6 cable and that
the cable is not damaged. Make sure the other devices are turned on. You can also verify the
connection by pinging IP address 169.250.0.1.

Follow these steps to configure the switch module:

Step 1 Open a web browser and enter the switch module IP address.
Step 2 Enter cisco as the default username and password.

Note You must change the password from the default password cisco.

Step 4 Enter the Optional Settings now, or enter them later using the Device Manager interface.
You can enter other administrative settings in the Express Setup window. For example, the optional
administrative settings identify and synchronize the switch module for enhanced management. NTP
synchronizes the switch module with the network clock. You can also manually set the system clock
settings.
Step 5 Click Submit to save your changes.
The switch module is now configured and exits Express Setup. The browser displays a warning message
and attempts to connect with the earlier switch module IP address. Typically, connectivity between the
computer and the switch module is lost because the configured switch module IP address is in a different
subnet for the computer IP address.
Step 6 Disconnect the switch module from the computer, and install the switch module in your network (see
Installation, page 2-2).
Step 7 If you have not changed your IP address, skip this step.
If you changed your IP address in the previous set of steps, change it to the previously configured IP
address (see Step 3).

Accessing the Switch Module

The service-module gigabitEthernet 0/x/0 session command is the privileged EXEC mode command
used to console into the Ethernet switch module from the host router.
You need to console into the switch module in order to configure it. In order to console into the switch
module, you must configure an IP address on the internal backplane Gigabit Ethernet interface, that is,
GE0/0/0 or GE0/2/0, connected to the switch module. If you try to console into the switch module
without assigning an IP address, you receive the following error message:
Router1#service-module gigabitEthernet 0/2/0 session

10/100BASE-T Ports
Follow these steps to connect to the 10/100BASE-T ports:

Step 1 When you connect to servers, workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and routers, use a
straight-through, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable to connect to the 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 connector.
Use a crossover, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable when you connect to other switches, hubs, or
repeaters.

Note The first four 10/100BASE-T ports on the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC switch module have PoE+
capability. See the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software

Step 2 Connect the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device.

Note 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 interfaces. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for
connections to a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port on the switch module, regardless of the type of
connected device.

SFP Module Slots

The switch module provides two 100/1000 Mb/s or Gigabit Ethernet SFP module slots ports: one
standard Gigabit SFP module slot in the center (labeled GE0/2) and one SFP module slot for the
dual-purpose port on the bottom (labeled GE0/1).
To connect to an SFP module slot:

Step 1 Grasp the SFP module on the sides, and insert it into the SFP module slot port until you feel the
connector snap into place.

Caution Make sure that SFP module is right side up before attempting to insert the SFP module into the slot.

For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and connecting to SFP modules, see the SFP module
documentation.

Dual-Purpose Port with RJ-45 and SFP Connectors

The Gigabit Ethernet port GE0/1 on the switch module consists of a pair of one RJ-45 connector
(topmost port) and one SFP module connector (bottom port).
This dual-purpose port is considered as a single interface. The two connectors are not redundant
interfaces—the switch module activates only one connector of the pair at a time.
If the dual-purpose port is configured as media-type RJ-45, the speed of the connection can be manually
set to either 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s (10/100/1000BASE-T specifications). The default speed setting is
always enabled to AUTONEGOTIATION. It will automatically negotiate to whatever speed is set on the
other end of the connection.
If the dual-purpose port is configured as media-type SFP, the speed is dependent on the module type you
are using, either a 100FX or a 1000BASE-X SFP module. The port will automatically detect the module,
and the speed is set based on the media type. The other end of the connection will have to be of the same
media type in order to establish the link.

Note Even when operating at 100 Mb/s, the dual-purpose ports (and the SFP-only module slots) use the frame
size that is set with the system mtu jumbo global configuration command.

By default, the dual-purpose ports and the SFP-only module slots are network node interfaces (NNIs).
By default, the switch module dynamically selects the dual-purpose port media type that first links up.
However, you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually select the RJ-45
connector or the SFP module slot.

Note In auto-select mode, if both copper and fiber-optic signals are simultaneously detected, the switch
module gives preference to SFP mode.

For configuration information, see “Configuring a Dual-Purpose Port” in Chapter 8, “Configuring

Interfaces,” in the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software
Configuration Guide.
The following illustration shows an Ethernet cable connected to the RJ-45 connector of the dual-purpose
port (GE0/1). It also shows an SFP cable connected to the standard SFP module slot (GE0/2).

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

2. 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on
the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.
3. A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.

Note When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline
optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP
module.

To identify a crossover cable, hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire
connected to pin 1 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 3 on the right
end. The wire connected to pin 2 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 6
on the right end.
