Page 30: Switch Architecture
Addresses are automatically learned by each TigerSwitch 16 unit and main- tained in the address table to enable the switch to perform filter- ing and forwarding at line-rate speeds. When a packet contain- ing a destination address that does not appear in the table is encountered, the packet is broadcast to all segments. -
Page 31: Spanning Tree Protocol
BOUT THE WITCHES Spanning Tree Protocol The TigerSwitch 16 family supports the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol. This protocol adds a level of fault tolerance by allowing two or more redundant connections to be created between a pair of LAN segments. When there are multiple physical paths between segments, the protocol can choose a single path at any given time and disable all others. -
Page 32: Switch Operation
Upon power-up, the test results are displayed on the PC attached to the Console port. During the test sequence, the switch detects whether or not the software is loaded. If it is, the Main Menu is displayed. Otherwise, the Boot Loader Menu is displayed so that new software can be downloaded. -

Windows Terminal. An RS-232 standard null-modem cable with a DB-9 connector is used to connect the device to the Console port on the switch. (See “Connecting to the Console Port” in Chapter 4 for detailed instructions.) This interface operates at 9600 (default value) or 19,200 baud and can be password-protected. - Page 34 BOUT THE WITCHES SNMP In addition, the switches can be managed in-band from a work- station using EliteView or any other SNMP-based manager. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the most popu- lar management protocol in use today, defines the structure of information maintained on a device being managed, and the operations used to access the information.

Page 36: Benefits Of Switching
LANNING Benefits of Switching Ethernet is traditionally a shared technology. Its media (network cable) is shared, so only one transmission can take place at a time. Its 10 Mbps bandwidth is shared too, so as more users are added to the network, there is less available bandwidth for each user. -
Page 37: Switched Fast Ethernet - High-Speed Data Pipes
into multiple collision domains, yet cost-effective enough to allow users to dedicate bandwidth to workstations, file servers and print servers. At the desktop level, switches can replace Ethernet hubs. By providing servers and high-performance workstations with dedi- cated 10 Mbps LAN connections, switches boost the throughput and performance of bandwidth intensive applications, such as imaging, CAD/CAM and relational database access. -
Page 38: Segmenting The Network
LANNING Segmenting the Network Each port on a switch is a separate segment, so when imple- menting switching, you must decide how to segment the network. For desktop switching, the decision is easy, as each PC is on a separate segment. For segment switching, it is a good idea to investigate the traffic flow on the network and the interactions of the applications being used. -
Page 39: Full-Duplex Operation
LANNING Full-Duplex Operation Full duplex is a transmission method that allows a network device to transmit and receive concurrently. This mode is sup- ported by some 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX switches and net- work cards, but not by hubs or by 100BASE-T4 devices. Connecting a pair of devices that can operate in full-duplex mode eliminates collisions and effectively doubles the band- width of that segment. -
Page 40: Sample Applications
LANNING Sample Applications Sample applications are provided below. They show how switching technology can increase the performance of a shared Ethernet Client/Server LAN without extensive network reconfig- uration and changes to the infrastructure. Shared Ethernet LAN In the traditional Client/Server LAN, all the workstations and servers are connected to stackable and/or standalone hubs. -
Page 41: Figure 3-2. Microsegmented Lan
LANNING Segmented Ethernet LAN To reduce contention, the network is segmented into separate repeater groups. This enables the workstations on each segment to share the 10 Mbps bandwidth of that segment. Reducing the number of stations on each segment decreases the amount of collisions that occur as a matter of course on a conventional shared Ethernet LAN when traffic is heavy. -
Page 42: Figure 3-3. Switched Lan
This provides them both with 20 Mbps of band- width. One of these ports is connected directly to a server and the other, to another Ethernet switch to provide additional ports for the stack segments. Figure 3-3. Switched LAN... -
Page 43: Figure 3-4. Sample Application With Model Smc6516Tt
In the following figure, one 100BASE-TX port is connected to SMC’s TigerSwitch 100 (an 8-port Fast Ethernet switch) and the other 100BASE-TX port to a server. Note that two PCs are con- nected directly to 10BASE-T ports on the TigerSwitch 16, pro- viding each power user with 20 Mbps of aggregate bandwidth in full-duplex mode. -
Page 44: Figure 3-5. Sample Application With Model Smc6516Tf
The 100BASE-TX port can be used to provide a dedicated bandwidth (200 Mbps in full-duplex mode) to a server or power user that is close to the switch. In the following figure, the 100BASE-FX port is connected to a remote central site and the 100BASE-TX port, to a server. -
Page 45: Figure 3-6. Sample Application With Model Smc6516Ff
The following figure shows the 100BASE-FX ports on an SMC6516FF switch connected to the 100BASE-FX ports on other TigerSwitch units, making it the central link in a 200 Mbps network backbone. The 100BASE-TX ports on the other switches, also configured in full duplex mode, are dedicated to servers. -

Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assem- bly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. -
Page 50: Figure 4-2. Installing The Switch In A Rack
1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the switch. Figure 4-3. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2. Set the switch on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. -
Page 51: Connecting To The Console Port
To make the connection: 1. Plug the female end of a standard RS-232 null-modem cable into the switch connector labeled Console. Plug the other end of the cable into the serial connector on the PC (typically COM1 or COM2). See Appendix A for Console connector pin assignments. -
Page 52: Connecting To A Power Source
Connecting to a Power Source 1. Plug one end of the appropriate power cable (see below) into the back of the switch, and the other end into a grounded, 3-pin socket. For North American Use: Each switch is shipped with one standard AC line cord for North America that is UL and CSA approved. -

SNMP ANAGING SNMP Protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communica- tion protocol designed specifically for the purpose of managing devices or other elements on a network. Network equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes hubs, switches, bridges, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network envi- ronment, as well as monitor them to evaluate performance and detect potential problems. -
Page 98: Using Rmon
Using RMON The switch offers an RMON subset contained within the basic system management. The objects supported are some of the most pertinent objects within RMON and include the Event, Alarm, Statistics and History groups. - Page 99 SNMP ANAGING The main standard MIB, referred to as MIB II, provides an over- all view of the managed agent and is supported, at least in part, by all SNMP agents. In addition, proprietary MIB extensions are defined by commercial vendors for managing device-specific functions of their products.

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Caution: Regulations regarding the connection of equipment to telephone networks vary from country to country. Check with your local telephone network supplier before using existing telephone wiring. An Ethernet twisted-pair link segment requires two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. -
