  • Page 17 IGER WITCH Overview SMC’s TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is an intelligent Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combo ports that are shared with four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. This switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs.

  • Page 18: About The Tigerswitch 10/100/1000

    10/100/1000 BOUT THE IGER WITCH Switch Architecture The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
  • Page 19 VERVIEW Spanning Tree Protocol The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 supports 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 will choose a single path and disable all others to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.

  • Page 20: Multicast Switching

    10/100/1000 BOUT THE IGER WITCH Multicast Switching Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping and IGMP to manage multicast group registration.

  • Page 21: Description Of Hardware

    ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE Description of Hardware 1000BASE-T Ports These ports are RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half 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 29: Network Planning

    HAPTER ETWORK LANNING 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. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.

  • Page 30: Sample Applications

    ETWORK LANNING Sample Applications The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 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 TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.

  • Page 31: Central Wiring Closet

    AMPLE PPLICATIONS Central Wiring Closet With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 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 on the TigerSwitch are providing Gigabit connectivity for up to 24 segments.

  • Page 32: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    ETWORK LANNING Remote Connections 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 TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

  • Page 33: Making Vlan Connections

    AMPLE PPLICATIONS Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on port groups, or each data frame can be explicitly tagged to identify the 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.

  • Page 34: Connectivity Rules

    ETWORK LANNING Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. 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 37: Application Notes

    PPLICATION OTES 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.
