Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The Catalyst Express 520 switches provide network services that can support the

data, voice, and mobile network demands of small and medium-sized businesses.

The services ensure transmission quality and reliability for data and voice traffic.

They also provide security to protect against network attacks.

The Catalyst Express 520 switches are designed to be

•Smart—Each switch port is applied with a specific Cisco-recommended

configuration (referred to as a Smartports port role) to optimize the switch

connections and to ensure security, transmission quality, and reliability for

traffic from the switch ports.

•Simple—Setup of the switch can be through a connection to an existing

network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as

a Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, or through the Express Setup

feature of the switch device manager GUI.

•Secure—The switch supports three levels of business-optimized network

security. Traffic between the switch and the network management

applications is also encrypted through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

protocol.

You can simply install the switch and allow it to operate without any further

management intervention. Use device and network management tools to take

advantage of the software features and to optimize your use of the switch. With

these tools, you can quickly and easily set up, customize, monitor, and

troubleshoot the switch.

Table 1-1 describes the Catalyst Express 520 switches, and Figure 1-1 and

Figure 1-2 show the switches in network examples.

Cisco Smart Business Communications System Network Example

The Catalyst Express 520 switches are the recommended companion switches to

the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series. These devices are part of the Cisco

Smart Business Communications System solution (Figure 1-1).

The Cisco Smart Business Communications System is a unified communications

solution for small businesses that provides voice, data, video, security, and

wireless capabilities while integrating with existing desktop applications such as

calendar, e-mail, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Figure 1-1 Cisco Smart Business Communications System Solution

Catalyst Express Switch Network Example

Figure 1-2 is an example of how to use the different Catalyst Express switches to

enable communication between network users and to provide them access to

network resources.

Any of the Catalyst Express 520 switches can be Switches A, B, C, and D in this

network. To take full advantage of the different models of the Catalyst

Express 520 switch platform, use the one that is designed for the type of

connections that you require.

•Switches A and B: Use the Catalyst Express 520G-24TC-K9 model. It has

the most Gigabit Ethernet ports, and it is best suited to providing 1000-Mb/s

connections between switches and to servers. Multiple connections between

the switches ensure that users maintain network access if any of the switches

becomes overused or unavailable.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

•Switches C and D: Use the Catalyst Express 520-24TT-K9 or the Catalyst

Express 520G-24TC-K9 model to provide high-speed (up to 100 Mb/s and

1000 Mb/s, respectively) connections to network users.

You can also use the Catalyst Express 520-24LC-K9 or the Catalyst

Express 520-24PC-K9 model to connect Cisco prestandard and IEEE

802.3af-compliant powered devices, such as IP phones and access points, to

your network. PoE connections from these switches can provide both network

access and power for up to 4 or up to 24 PoE devices, respectively.

If the switch detects that there is no power on the circuit, the PoE ports

provide up to 15.4 W of power to attached PoE devices. You can place PoE

devices where power outlets are not available or are not convenient and thus

avoid cabling costs.

You can manage the network onsite or remotely through the Cisco Configuration

Assistant network management application. Through Cisco Configuration

Assistant, you can also optimize the switches. For example, you can configure

VLANs that give priority to voice traffic over regular data traffic from the desktop

devices attached to the IP phones. Other VLANs can provide different types of

network users—wired employees, wireless (or mobile) employees, and wired and

wireless company visitors—with different access levels to the company network.

8ADMINLEDThe ADMIN LED shows the management mode in which the switch is operating.

Off (dark) Switch is configured with an IP address.

Blinking green Switch is in the initial setup mode, or the switch is in direct

managed mode. For information about this mode, see the

“Device Manager Is Not Accessible Through the Network”

section on page 7-4.

9 ADMIN button The ADMIN button is used to manage the switch through a direct connection to

your PC or laptop and is used to start the recovery on the switch.

10 Uplink ports Depending on the Catalyst Express 520 model, the uplink ports can be

dual-purpose ports or 10/100/1000 ports. For information about 10/100/1000

ports, see Downlink ports.

The dual-purpose port can be used as either a 10/100/1000 port or as an SFP

module port. However, both cannot be active at the same time. If both ports are

connected, the SFP module port has priority. You cannot change this priority

setting.

The SFP module slot supports Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules to establish

fiber-optic and 1000BASE-T uplink connections. It supports the modules listed

in the “Supported Hardware” section on page 1-14.

11 Downlink

ports

Depending on the Catalyst Express 520 model, the downlink ports can be 10/100

PoE ports, 10/100 ports, or 10/100/1000 ports.

You can set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation, in compliance with

IEEE 802.3ab, to optimize port bandwidth.

If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port 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. The default setting is autonegotiate.

The ports also have the automatic-medium-dependent interface crossover

(auto-MDIX) capability to automatically detect the required cable connection

type (straight-through or crossover) and to configure the connection

appropriately.
