  • Page 21: Applications

    1.2.1 Backbone Application In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future. The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the switch’s port or connect other switches to the ES-3024.

  • Page 22: Figure 1-1 Backbone Application

    1.2.2 Bridging Example In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the switch. You can provide a super- fast uplink connection by selecting from an array of uplink modules compatible with the ES-3024.

  • Page 23: Figure 1-2 Bridging Application

    1.2.3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Example The switch is ideal for connecting two power workgroups that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use trunking to connect these two power workgroups. Switching to higher-speed LANs such as FDDI or ATM is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.

  • Page 24: Figure 1-3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application

    This section shows a workgroup and a shared server example using 802.1Q tagged VLANs. For more information on VLANs, see the Switch Setup and VLAN Setup chapters in this User’s Guide. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group.

    2.1 Installation Scenarios The switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation. For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch.

  • Page 34: Uplink Modules

    If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the ES-3024 switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the ES-3024 switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre- configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.

  • Page 35: Figure 3-2 Loosening The Screws And Removing The Cover Plate

    Remove the optional module from its protective anti-static packaging. Avoid touching the onboard Step 4. circuit components by holding it by the edge. Insert the optional module into an available expansion slot on the switch. Press it firmly until the Step 5. optional module snaps into place.

    Be careful not to lock yourself and others out of the switch. 4.4 Resetting the Switch If you lock yourself (and others) from the switch or forget the ES-3024 password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file. Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file.

  • Page 50: Igmp Snooping

    STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.

  • Page 51: Table 5-2 Stp Path Costs

    On each bridge, the root port is the port through which this bridge communicates with the root. It is the port on this switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree network.

    An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed switch (the ES-3024). An agent translates the local management information from the managed switch into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions.

    The IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN uses both explicit and implicit tagging. It is important for the switch to determine what devices are VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware so that it can decide whether to forward a tagged frame (to a VLAN-aware device) or first strip the tag from a frame and then forward it (to a VLAN-unaware device).
