Introduction
The Cisco SLM2008 8-port Gigabit Smart Switch with PD and AC Power allows
you to upgrade your existing network by replacing your current workgroup hub or
switch. At the same time, you can configure advanced features for security, QoS,
and Spanning Tree using its web-based configuration utility.
The Cisco SLM2008 switch not only allows you to upgrade to gigabit speeds but
also allows you to expand your network securely. The Gigabit Smart Switch with
PD have virtual LAN (VLAN) capabilities to restrict the flow of multicast and
broadcast traffic. Stations within a given VLAN can freely communicate using
either unicast or multicast addressing. Communication between different VLANs is
not possible.
Extensive QoS features make the solution ideal for real-time applications like Voice
and Video. The 4 priority queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and
Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time
traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual
users or applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of
Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p), and layer 3 priority (TOS or
DSCP). Intelligent broadcast and multicast storm controls minimize and contain the
effects of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits
bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding all users.
Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped allowing you to
control network access and traffic flow.
There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches.
Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be
setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to
operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning Tree (STP) allow you to build a mesh of
switches increasing the availability of the system.

Getting to Know the Cisco SLM2008 Switch
This chapter describes the external features of the Cisco SLM2008 8-Port Gigabit
Smart Switch with PD and AC Power. The following sections are included:
•Front Panel, page 2
•Back Panel, page 3
•Side Panels, page 3
Front Panel
The LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
System—(Green) Lights up when the switch is powered on.
1-8—(Green) Each LED lights up when there is a connection made through its
corresponding port. The LEDs flash when there is activity on corresponding ports.

Back Panel
The Ethernet ports are located on the back panel of the switch.
Port 1—This port supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD
standard, which enables a system to receive data and supply electrical power to
the switch over a standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. Any 802.3af-
compliant PSE device, such as a PoE switch, can directly supply power to the
switch. Simply connect a standard twisted-pair cable from a PoE switch to Port 1
on the switch. Using PoE to power the switch eliminates the need to use the power
adapter and AC power.
To connect a device to a port, use a Category 5 network cable.
Ports 1-8—These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-
sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the
device connected to it and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
Side Panels
The reset button and power port are located on the right side panel of the switch.

Reset Button—The reset button can be used to reset or reboot the switch.
•Reboot—If the button is pressed for less than 10 seconds, the switch will
reboot.
•Restore Factory Defaults—If the button is pressed for longer than 10
seconds, the switch settings will be restored to the factory defaults and the
system reboots.
NOTE The switch can only be configured using the web-based utility. If you cannot
access the web-based utility because of configuration changes you’ve made, you
can reset the switch to the factory defaults.
Power Port—The power port is where you will connect the AC power. The
security slot is located on the left side panel of the switch.
Security Slot—The security slot can be used to attach a lock to the switch.

Connecting the Cisco SLM2008 Switch
This chapter will guide you through the hardware installation for the Cisco
SLM2008 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with PD and AC Power. The following
sections are included:
•Placement Options, page 5
•Connecting the Cisco SLM2008 Switch to the Network, page 7
Placement Options
When you choose a location for the switch, observe the following guidelines:
•Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be easily
connected.
•Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
•Position the switch away from water and moisture sources.
•To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a
minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm).
•Do not stack free-standing switches more than four units high.
Desktop Option
For desktop acement, set the Cisco SLM2008 switch horizontally on a surface so
that it sits on its four rubber feet.

Wall-Mount Option
NOTE You will need two suitable screws to mount the switch. Cisco is not responsible for
damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.
Suggested Mounting Hardware
To mount the Cisco SLM2008 switch on a wall, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Determine where you want to mount the switch. Ensure that the wall you use is
smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Make sure the location is within reach of the power
outlet.
STEP 2 Drill two holes in the wall. Make sure the holes are 2 1/2 inches apart.
(Optional) Print this page at 100% size, cut along the dotted line and place on the
wall to drill precise spacing.

NOTE When you connect your network devices, make sure you do not exceed the
maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100 meters).
To connect network devices to the switch, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Make sure all the devices you will connect to the switch are powered off.
STEP 2 Connect a Category 5 network cable to one of the numbered ports on the switch.
NOTE Reserve Port 1 if you are using a network device to provide power to the
switch.
STEP 3 Connect the other end to a computer or other network device.
STEP 4 Repeat Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 to connect additional devices.
NOTE When connecting power, always use a surge protector.
STEP 5 Provide power to the switch in one of two ways:
•Connect a Category 5 network cable from port 1 of the switch to a network
device with the ability to provide Power over Ethernet.
Or
•Connect the supplied power cord to the switch power port, and plug the
other end into an electrical outlet.
STEP 6 Power on the devices connected to the switch. Each active port with a
corresponding LED will light up on the switch.
For information about configuring and managing the switch, see Chapter 5,
“Advanced Configuration.”
