    This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. This switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP routing. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.3Q compliant VLANs, empowers...
  • Page 18: Switch Architecture

    The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each connection.
  • Page 19: Management Options

    SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or Windows-based network management software.

  • Page 29: Network Planning

    For Ethernet, there may be up to four hubs between any pair of stations; for Fast Ethernet, the maximum is two. This is known as the hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation.

    Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch, or link to another workgroup using a Gigabit connection. In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.
  • Page 31: Central Wiring Closet

    Central Wiring Closet With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments.
  • Page 32: Remote Connection With Fiber Cable

    1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, and a 1000BASE-ZX (SMF) link can run up to 100 km. This allows the Fast Ethernet Routing Switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

    IP routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router linked to the WAN. Just assign an IP address to any VLANs that need to communicate. The switch will continue to segregate Layer 2 traffic based on VLANs, but will now provide inter-VLAN connections for IP applications.

    1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem.

Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord.
  • Page 47: Making Network Connections

    Network card ports in PCs and servers do not contain an internal wiring crossover, these are known as straight-through (MDI) ports. Therefore, most switch and hub ports implement a built-in crossover - known as fixed crossover (MDI-X) ports - so that they can be connected to PCs and servers using standard straight-through cable.
  • Page 48: Connecting To Pcs, Servers, Hubs And Switches

    MDI-X ports, the wiring crossover must be implemented in the cable - known as a crossover cable. The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, which means that they automatically detect the wiring in the link and configure as MDI or MDI-X accordingly.
  • Page 49 2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on...

    • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. • If the switch is installed in a rack, check the connections to the punch-down block and patch panel.
