  • Page 21: Chapter 1: Introduction

    Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000, SMC8126PL2-F, is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 26 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24). The switch’s 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices over wire pairs in the connecting Ethernet cable.
  • Page 22: Switch Architecture

    Introduction Switch Architecture The SMC8126PL2-F employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
  • Page 23: Description Of Hardware

    Description of Hardware Description of Hardware 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports The SMC8126PL2-F contains 26 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: Chapter 2: Network Planning

    Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. These switches have, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
  • Page 28: Application Examples

    Network Planning Application Examples The SMC8126PL2-F is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The SMC8126PL2-F is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
  • Page 29: Network Aggregation Plan

    Application Examples Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), a switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through Layer 2 switches.
  • Page 30: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    Network Planning Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 100 km. This allows a switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
  • Page 31: Making Vlan Connections

    Application Examples Making VLAN Connections This switch support VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
  • Page 32: Application Notes

    Network Planning Application Notes 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. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach these switches directly to a multi-protocol router.
