1-1 Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The Gigabit Ethernet Swi tch is an intelligen t mul tilayer switch (L ayer 2 and 4) with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T port s, four of whic h are combination p orts that a re shared with four SFP transceiver slot s. Ther e is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board.
Introduction 1-2 1 connection (in-band) usi ng T elnet, the on-boa rd Web a gent, or Windows-based network management sof t ware. For a detailed d escription of the switch’ s advanced features, refer to the User Guide.
Description of Hardware 1-3 1 Status LEDs The LEDs, which are located on the fro nt panel for easy vi ewing, are shown below and described in the followi ng table. Figure 1-2. Port LEDs Table 1- 1. Port S tatus LED s Port Status LEDs LED Condition Statu s RJ-45 Ports Link/Act.

Features and Benefi ts 1-5 1 Optional Backup Power Supply The switch supports an optional Backup Power Supply (BPS), that can supply po wer to the switch in the even t of failure of the internal power suppl y . Power Supply Receptacles There are two power receptacles on the rear p anel of the switch.
Introduction 1-6 1 Management • “At-a-glance” LEDs for easy troubleshooting • Network management agent: • Manages switch in-band or out-of- band • Supports Telnet, SNMP/RMON and Web-based .
2-1 Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch al lows simult aneous transmissi on of multiple packet s via non-crossbar switching.
2-2 Network Planning 2 Application Examples This Gigabit Etherne t Switch is not only design ed to segment your network, but al so to provide a wide range of opt ions in setting up netwo rk connections and linkin g VLANs. Some typical applica tions are described below .
2-3 Application Exampl es 2 Network Aggregation Plan With 24 paral lel bridging ports (i. e., 24 distinct collisi on domains), the Gigabit Ethernet Switch c an collapse a complex network down i nto a single ef ficient bridged node, increasin g overall bandwid th and throug hput.
2-4 Network Planning 2 Remote Connection with Fiber Cable Fiber optic tec hnology allows for longer cabl ing than any oth er media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up t o 550 meters away , and a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link c an run up to 5 km.
2-5 Application Exampl es 2 Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on port group s, or each data frame can be explicit ly tagged to identify the VL AN group to which it belongs. When using port-based VLANs, port s can either be assigned t o one specific group or to all group s.
2-6 Network Planning 2 Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operat ion only appli es to point-to-poi nt access (such as when a switch is attac hed to a workstatio n, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, bot h devices must operate i n half-duplex mode.
3-1 Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switches can be mounted i n a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surf ace. Be sure to follow the guideli nes below when choosing a loca tion. • The site should: • be at the center of all the d evices you want to link and near a power outlet.
3-2 Installing the Switch 3 Figure 3-1. RJ-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpa cking the switch, check the content s to be sure you have received all the components . Then, befo re beginni ng the inst allation, b e sure you have all other necessary inst allation equipment.
3-3 Mounting 3 Mounting A switch unit can be mo unted in a stan dard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting in structions for each type of site follow .
3-4 Installing the Switch 3 2. Mount the device in the rack, using 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 th e end of this chapter .
3-5 Connecting to a Power Source 3 3. If inst alling a single switch only , go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter . 4. If inst alling multiple swi tches, att ach four adhesive feet to ea ch one. Place each device squarely on top of t he one below , in any order .
3-6 Installing the Switch 3 Figure 3-6. Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cabl e into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
3-7 Connecting to the Con sole Port 3 Wiring Map for Serial Cable Table 3-1. Serial Cable Wirin g The serial port’ s configuration requirement s are as follows: • Default Baud rate—9,600 bps •.

4-1 Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices This switch is designed to inte rconnect multipl e segments (or collisio n domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, swit ches or routers.
4-2 Making Network Conne ctions 4 2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in th e wiring closet, att ach the other end of the cabl e segment to a modular wal l outlet that is connected to the wirin g closet. (See “Wiring Closet Connect ions” on the next pag e.
4-3 Fiber Optic SFP Devices 4 Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transcei ver (1 000BASE-SX, or 1000BA SE-LX) can be used for a backbone connection between s witches, or for connecting to a h igh-speed server . Each multimode fib er optic port req uires 50/125 or 6 2.

4-6 Making Network Conne ctions 4 Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network inst allation, it is essential to label the opposi ng ends of cables and to record where each cable is connec ted.
A-1 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1. Trou bleshooting Chart Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator doe s not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power out let, power cord, or intern al power supply .
A-2 Troubleshooting A subnet mask, and default ga teway . If you have trouble establ ishing a link to the management agent, che ck to see if you have a valid network connect ion. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are conne cting to the swi tch has not be en disabled.
B-1 Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Cautio n: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-p air cable must have two pairs of wires.
B-2 Cables B Table B-1. 10/10 0BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X Po rt Pinouts 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables f or all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
B-3 Fiber Standards B tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulleti n, “The Additional T ransmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.” Note that when testing y our cable installa tion, be sure to include all p atch cables between switc hes and end devices.
