    IGER Overview SMC’s TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 (SMC8612T2) has 12 10/100/ 1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combo ports that are shared with four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports Figure 1-1. SMC8612T2 Front and Rear Panels Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.

  • Page 20: Switching Method

    This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. Management Options This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a- glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet.

  • Page 21: Description Of Hardware

    1000BASE-T Ports These ports are RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

  • Page 27: 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 28: Application Examples

    Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links directly to one or more workgroup switches. In the figure below, this switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 20 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations, 200 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 2 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers.

  • Page 29: Central Wiring Closet

    Central Wiring Closet With 12 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 12 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 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports on the switch are providing 2 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 12 local segments.

  • Page 30: Remote Connection With Fiber Cable

    Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver link can connect to a site up to 5 km away. This allows the Gigabit Ethernet switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. A Gigabit...

    VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based VLANs, ports can be assigned to one or more 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).

  • Page 32: Connectivity Rules

    However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

  • Page 34: Application Notes

    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 43: Making Network Connections

    Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It may be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.
