Shipping Carton Contents
The SR2024 and SR2024P switches ship with the following items:
Required Tools for Installation
Read the safety guidelines, confirm the contents of your shipping carton, and assemble the required tools. You are now ready to install your switch.
Install SR series switches on a clean, level desktop or surface, or in a standard equipment rack using the rack mount kit that ships with the switch, as shown below.
Note
Adequate ventilation is critical for switch operation. Install your devices in a properly ventilated equipment rack, or for tabletop installations, leave 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space at the sides of the switch so the fans can properly cool the chassis.
Hardware Components
You can see the hardware components for theSR2024 and SR2024P switches in the illustration below, and read about them in the descriptions that follow.
Note
To meet federal radiation exposure requirements, these devices should be installed at a minimum distance of 9.05" (23 cm) from people or animals.SR2024 Hardware Components
SR2024P Hardware Components
LED Panel
Status LEDs and Ethernet LEDs are located on the left side of the front panel. Uplink port LEDs appear between the ports on the right side of the panel.
Console Port
Use the RJ45 Console port to make a serial connection between your computer and the switch to access the CLI.
The management station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro© (a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems from Windows 95 to Windows XP). The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
For Console port pin assignments see Extreme Device Pin Assignments.
Power Connector
The power connector allows you to connect the switch to a standard AC power source. Because the switch does not have an on/off switch, it automatically powers on when you connect it to a power source. A retention clip ships with the switch that you can use to secure the power cord to the back of the device.
USB Modem Port
SR Series switches can use a wireless USB modem for a WAN connection. The typical use of a USB modem is to act as a backup to the ETH0/WAN interface; however, for locations where an Ethernet connection to the WAN is not possible, you can use the USB modem as the primary (and only) interface to the WAN.
Before you can use a modem with any Extreme Networks device, you must first have the modem activated. You can have this done in the store where you purchased the modem, or you can install software such as the Verizon VZA Access Manager on your computer, connect the modem to the USB port on your computer, preferably at the site where you plan to deploy the switch to confirm that the modem is working properly and that there is adequate wireless network coverage in your location.
Extreme Networks currently supports the following modems:
Reset Button
To reset the switch or restore factory default settings, insert a paper clip or similar tool into the pinhole and press the reset button. To reboot the device, hold the button down between 1 and 5 seconds. To return the configuration to the default settings, hold the button down for 5 seconds or longer. When you release the button, the status LED goes dark as the system reboots, then turns amber while the firmware loads and the system performs a self-test. After the firmware has finished loading and the switch has connected to ExtremeCloud IQ, the device status LED glows steady white.
PoE Button
The PoE button allows you to change the port LED modes between activity and PoE status. By default, the port LEDs are in status (ACT) mode. Press the PoE button to see the PoE status for each port.
Ethernet Ports
SR2024 and SR2024P switches have 24 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports (ETH 1 through ETH 24). These ports are compatible with 10/100/100Base-T/TX and negotiate half and full duplex connections with the connecting device. The ports are auto-sensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables automatically. On the SR2024 model, ports 1 through 8 support PoE and PoE+. On the SR2024P model, all 24 ports support PoE and PoE+.
The Ethernet port pin assignments use the TIA/EIA-568-B standard (see"Ethernet Port Pin Assignments" on page 106). The ports accept standard Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cable, and autosensing capabilities allow the wiring termination in the Ethernet cable to be either straight-through or crossover.
PoE and PoE+ Ports
The SR2024 offers PoE or PoE+ on ports ETH1 through ETH8 to power PDs (powered devices) such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras. SR2024P models provide PoE on all 24 ports. These ports are IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at PSE (power sourcing equipment) compliant, as described here:
802.3af is the default setting for all ports, but you can configure up to six ports for 802.3at to support devices that require more power. When six ports are configured for 802.3at, the remaining two PoE ports are shut down to maintain the 802.3at power budget (these ports will still function as standard Ethernet ports).
To change the power setting, first add 803.2af and 802.3at PSE profiles to your network policy in ExtremeCloud IQ and assign them to ports as needed. You can change the profile at any time.
For more information about how to create PSE profiles, see the ExtremeCloud IQ Help.
These switches support static and dynamic PoE power management:
The combined amount of power delivered by all ports cannot exceed the PSE power budget.
To change the power management setting in ExtremeCloud IQ, go to Manage > Devices > Switches. Select the check box for the switch, select Dynamic or Static from the Power Management Type drop-down box in Optional Settings > PSE Settings, and then select Save.
Port Priority
By default, all ports have priority enabled, with a priority setting of low. There are three port priorities: low, high, and critical.
If there is no priority setting applied to a port or if multiple ports have the same priority, the switch gives the port with the lowest number the higher priority.
Port priorities are assigned and changed using the PSE port profiles that you create in ExtremeCloud IQ. Add PSE profiles for low, high, and critical in your network policy in ExtremeCloud IQ. You can change the priority for a port by changing its PSE profile.
SFP Uplink Ports
Four SFP (small form pluggable) ports accommodate any combination of copper or fiber SFP modules (up to 1 Gbps) for additional uplink capacity. SFP modules can be used to connect a broadband modem or other uplink device (such as a router, switch, or hub). SFP ports are typically used for capacity planning and to leverage the higher network bandwidth capabilities and speeds typically offered by SFP modules.
You can order SFP modules from Extreme Networks, or purchase your own modules. The SR2024 and SR2024P models support all industry-standard modules.
Working with SFP Modules
Install or Replac an SFP Module
You can install or replace SFP modules in the switch while it is powered and running. When you are working with SFP modules, especially fiber modules, be aware of the following safety precautions:
![]() |
All fiber optic interfaces contain Class 1 lasers. Invisible laser radiation can also be emitted from disconnected fibers. Never look into the end of a fiber, regardless of whether it is active or disconnected. |
![]() |
Keep the chassis area clean and dust-free during and after installation. |
![]() |
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when installing SFP modules. Wear an ESD wrist strap with a series 1 Megohm resistor and attach the clip end of the strap to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground. |
Follow these steps to install an SFP module:
Note
Always leave the protective cap in place on an SFP module when you are not using it to prevent dust from collecting on the connectors.Cable an SFP Module
To connect a cable to an SFP module, perform the following steps:
Note
Always clean cable and port connectors before cabling an SFP module. See "Cleaning Fiber Ports and Connectors" for information about how to clean fiber modules.Clean Fiber Ports and Connectors
To avoid problems with fiber optic connections, it is important to clean both cable and port connectors each time you connect or disconnect them. Dust accumulates easily in connectors and can cause connection problems.
Use a dry (recommended) or wet cleaning process to clean connectors using either lint-free wipes or lint-free swabs. Lightly wipe the connectors to clean them. Never reuse a wipe or swab. If possible, inspect the connectors with a fiber scope to check that they are properly clean.
If you use a wet cleaning process, use only 99% isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that all alcohol is wiped away from all surfaces (do not allow it to evaporate slowly) and has not collected in crevices of cavities. Alcohol residue can contaminate connectors and it is difficult to remove all traces of it. For this reason, a dry cleaning process is preferable.
Fans
The switch has four cooling fans which, by default, are always on. You can view fan status and temperature levels in ExtremeCloud IQ. The fan speeds and temperature settings are preconfigured. Make sure the switch fans have enough space for proper cooling.
Display Fan and Temperature Status using CLI Commands
To display the current status of the fans, enter the following command:
show system fans
To display the current system temperature, enter the following command:
show system temperature
View Fan and Temperature Status in ExtremeCloud IQ
To view fan and temperature status in ExtremeCloud IQ, navigate to Manage > Devices > Switches. Select the name of a switch. A page appears that shows system information for the switch. Scroll down to the System Details section. The temperature and fan status appear at the bottom of this section.
Change the Temperature and Fan Speed Alarm Thresholds
You can change the threshold for the alarms in ExtremeCloud IQ. To do this, go to Configure > Advanced Configuration > Management Options. To modify existing system settings, select the name of the management options object you want to change. In the dialog box, scroll down to System Settings, where you will see the alarm fields that you can modify.
LEDs
The status LEDs on the switch front panel indicate activity states by color and illumination patterns. Press the LED mode button to cycle through Link, Stack (reserved for future use), Speed, Duplex, or PoE modes. Depending on which mode you have selected, the port LEDs (one per port) display information specific to the selected mode.
The SFP port LEDs are not connected to the LED mode selection button. These LEDs are either dark (no power to the port), solid green (there is an active link to the port, but no activity), or green flashing (port is linked and active).
