Chapter 1 Product Overview
Management Options
Cisco ME AC Switch Power Supply
The Cisco ME AC switch is powered through an internal power supply. The AC power supply is an
autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. Use the supplied AC power
cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power outlet.
Cisco ME DC Switch Power Supply
The Cisco ME DC switch internal power supplies support input voltages between –36 to –72 VDC. For
more information, see Appendix B, “Technical Specifications.”
See Appendix C, “Connecting to DC Power,” for instructions on connecting the Cisco ME DC switches.
To order spare or replacement DC connectors, use one of these sources:
• Digi-Key, part number 277-1013-ND, www.digikey.com
• Phoenix Contact, part number 1757035, www.phoenixcontact.com
Management Options
These management options are available for the Cisco ME switch:
• Cisco IOS CLI
The switch CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and is enhanced to support desktop-switching
features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch from the CLI. You can access the CLI either
by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from
a remote management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information.
For setup instructions that use the CLI, go to Appendix D, “Configuring the Switch with the
CLI-Based Setup Program.”
• CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image that you can use to set
configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance information. The CiscoView
application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more
information.
• SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms
such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management
Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch
software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP
application for more information.
Network Configurations
See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network configuration
concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network configurations that use
the switch to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected through Ethernet connections.
