5.3 Network Connections
- Kubatanidza Uplink: Connect one of the uplink ports to your router or core network switch using a standard Ethernet cable.
- Kubatanidza Device: Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the Gigabit Ethernet ports (1-8) using standard Ethernet cables.
- For PoE-powered devices, ensure they are PoE-compatible. The switch will automatically detect and provide power.
5.4 Initial Configuration (Optional)
For advanced configuration, such as VLANs, QoS, or security settings, you can access the switch's management interface:
- Console Port: Connect a serial cable from your computer to the console port on the switch. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY) with appropriate settings (typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control).
- Web Interface/Telnet/SSH: Once the switch obtains an IP address (either via DHCP or static assignment), you can access its web-based management interface or use Telnet/SSH from a network-connected computer. Refer to Cisco's official documentation for detailed configuration guides.
6. Operating Instructions
