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
Configuration Guide for more information.
Step 3
Switch# <Ctrl+Shift+6> x
Press <Ctrl+Shift+6>, then press x.
This sequence returns you to the router console while keeping the
console session to the switch module intact and then exits the
console session to the switch module.
Step 4
Router# disconnect
Terminates the console session to the switch module.
Step 5
Router# <Enter>
Press Enter to confirm the disconnect.
Step 6
Router# service-module

Displays the status of all the vital components of the switch
module. For example output, see the “Service-Module Command
