Cisco 2948G-GE-TX
I just bought 2 Cisco 2948G-GE-TX When I boot them up I get status orange who I think is Switch disabled by software. But I have no idea how to enable it.
ASKER
Well I have tried to connect the console port with 2 different type of serial cables (one standard Cisco cable) and tried to use Putty (9600 baud), but nothing came when booting up. Tomorrow I will check the serial port, but it is USB to Serial converter.
Putty usually works fine with USB serials, as long as Windows has the drivers (usually PL2303).
ASKER
I have used Putty for many years to connect to my other Cisco 3750 and Ruby and many other devices. It works well but not on my Cisco 2948G-GE-TX.

It is the Status Led who is orange
PSI Led is green
RPSU Led is off
Both fans speeds up
10/100 MGT ports lights up when connected to ethernet

Everything looks fine inside. But what is strange is that both switches has the same MAC address.
There are some jumpers on the motherboard who says
ISP
JTAG1
NO BOOT
ERASE
ROM
Are they of any use ?

Not sure, can't find any docs on cisco.com.
