This chapter provides information on the Catalyst 1200 series workgroup switch. The information is organized into the following sections:
The Catalyst 1200 series workgroup switch is a high-performance system that enhances network performance in client/server environments. The switch delivers Ethernet-to-Ethernet and Ethernet-to-CDDI/FDDI switching. It solves client/server networking problems with a seamless, high-bandwidth networking interface to servers and existing dedicated Ethernet desktop clients.
The Catalyst 1200 series workgroup switch supports the following basic configurations:
The switch's software enhancements provide additional management and control functions to the network manager. Virtual Networking Services (VNS) makes the Catalyst 1200 series workgroup switch the only switch that offers a comprehensive set of features to manage switched network traffic. VNS lets managers add, move, and change individual or multiple workgroups across a connected stack of switches. VNS also helps managers implement VLANs of multiple workgroups across switches and routers, provide for security controls to sensitive resources within these workgroups, and provide broadcast management services that optimize the performance of switched workgroups. The switched port analyzer, which is provided free of charge, lets a single network analyzer monitor all of the switch's switched Ethernet segments.
Optional enhanced monitoring services (EMS) make the Catalyst 1200 series switch the only switch that can comprehensively monitor switched workgroup traffic. The optional embedded RMON software lets the switch monitor traffic flow, identify the network's heavy users, and decode switched traffic for troubleshooting purposes.

Figure 137 shows the most typical configurations for CDDI/FDDI translators. A standard patch cable is used to connect the FDDI side to the media translator. A cross-connect cable is used to connect the CDDI side, except when connecting a Workgroup 1000 concentrator (MLT-2), which requires a straight-through cable.
Figure 137 : Typical Configuration of the CDDI/FDDI Media Translator
Two kinds of unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) modular cables can be used---crossconnect and straightthrough:
The STP-to-UTP converter (WS-C737) is used to connect CDDI equipment to IBM Type 1 STP cabling systems.
The FDDI patch cable (WS-C757) is a seven-foot long, fiber-optic cable with MICs on each end.
The FDDI MIC-to-FDDI SC cable (WS-C767) is a seven-foot long, fiber-optic cable with a MIC on one end and an SC connector on the other end.
The optical attenuation set (WS-C784) includes two 10-dB optical attenuators, one for each signal direction. The set must be used in single-mode fiber applications having a total link attenuation of less than 10 dBs.
The wall-mounting kit (WS-C1670) contains hardware mounting accessories to mount the WS-C1200 chassis on the wall.
Workgroup products are shipped with North American power cords standard. Specify on your order alternate power cords for European (220V), U.K., Italian, or Australian power cords. For part numbers, see the chapter "Power Cords," later in this catalog.
