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. -
Page 30: Application Examples
Ethernet hub or 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 20 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 200 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: Making Vlan Connections
VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based VLANs, ports can either be assigned to one specific group or to all groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. A single switch can be easily configured to support several VLAN groups for various organizational entities (such as Finance and Marketing). -

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. - Page 36 ETWORK LANNING...

2. Press in on the transceiver’s side tabs, and gently slide it into the GBIC interface slot until it clicks into place. Caution: GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the switch before installing or removing a transceiver. Note: Install only 5 V GBIC transceivers into the module slots. -

Select the Master unit in the stack by pressing the push button in on only one of the stacking modules. Only one switch in the stack can operate as the Master, all other units operate in slave mode. If more than one switch in the stack is selected as Master, or if no switches are selected, the stack will not function. -

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).
