2-1 Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch al lows simult aneous transmission of mu ltiple p ackets v ia non-crossbar switching.
2-2 Network Planning 2 Application Examples The Gigabit Ethernet Swi tch es are not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wi de range of options i n setting up network connect ions and linki ng VLANs or IP subnets. Some typical applications are des cribed below .
2-3 Application Exampl es 2 Network Aggregation Plan With 24 or 48 parall el bridging port s (i.e., 24 or 48 distinct collision domai ns), a Gigabit switch stack ca n collapse a comple x network down into a single ef ficient bridged node, increasi ng overall bandwid th and throughput.
2-4 Network Planning 2 Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic tec hnology allows for longer c abling than a ny other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up t o 550 met ers away , a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-LH lin k up to 70 km.
2-5 Application Exampl es 2 Making VLAN Connections These switches support VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into se parate broadc ast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traff ic to the originating g roup, and can el iminate broadcast storms in large networks.
2-6 Network Planning 2 Using Layer 3 Routing VLANs can signific antly enhance network perf ormance and security . However , if you use conventional rout ers to interconnect VLANs, you can l ose most of your performance advant age.
2-7 Application Notes 2 Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operat ion only appli es to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is att ached to a workstat ion, server or another switch ). When the switch is connected to a hub , bot h devices must opera te in half-duplex mode.

3-1 Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switches can be mounted i n a sta ndard 19-i nch equip ment ra ck or on a flat surf ace. Be sure to follow the guideli nes below when choosi ng a location. • The site should: - be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
3-2 Installing the Switch 3 Figure 3-1 R J-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpa ckin g the switch, check the content s to be sure you have received all the components . Then, before begi nning the i nstallat ion, be sure you have all other necessary inst allation equipment.
3-3 Mounting 3 Mounting A switch unit can be mo unted i n a s t an dard 1 9-inc h equ ipme nt ra ck or on a des kto p or shelf. Mounting in structions for each t ype of site follow .
3-4 Installing the Switch 3 2. Mount the device in the rack, usi ng four rack-mounting screws (not provide d). Figure 3-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack 3. If install ing a single switch only , turn to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter .
3-5 Installing an Op tional Module into the Switch 3 3. If inst alling a single switch only , go to "Connecting to a Power Source" at t he end of this chapter . 4. If inst alling multipl e switches, att ach four adhesi ve feet to each one. Pl ace each device squarely on top of t he one below , in any order .
3-6 Installing the Switch 3 Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver Figure 3-6 I nserting an SF P Transceiver into a Slot These switches support 1000BASE-SX and 1000 BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-LH SFP-compatible transceivers. T o install an SFP transceiver , do the following: 1.
3-7 Connecting Switches in a Stack 3 Connecting Switches in a Stack Figure 3-7 shows h ow the stack cables are connected between switc hes in a st ack. Each stacking con nection is a 48 Gbps f ull -duplex high-speed serial l ink using proprietary st acking cables.
3-8 Installing the Switch 3 5. Select the Master un it in th e st ack b y pressing th e Master bu tton in o n only on e of the switches. Only one switch in the st ack can operate as the Master , all other unit s operate in slave mode.
3-9 Connecting to the Con sole Port 3 3. Check the front-p anel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power LED is on. If not, check t hat the powe r cable i s correctly plugge d in.
