    NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The DG-FS4510 is a Fast Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 8 100BASE-TX ports, and two combination 1000BASE-T ports: RJ-45/Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 9-10). The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.

  • Page 12: Figure 2: Rear Panel

    HAPTER Overview Figure 2: Rear Panel Power Socket WITCH RCHITECTURE The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

    HAPTER Description of Hardware ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE RJ-45 P ORTS The switch contains 8 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and 2 shared 1000BASE-T RJ-45/SFP ports. All RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

  • Page 17: Network Planning

    ETWORK LANNING NTRODUCTION TO WITCHING 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 18: Application Examples

    HAPTER Application Examples PPLICATION XAMPLES The switch 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. OLLAPSED ACKBONE The switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.

  • Page 19: Figure 6: Network Aggregation Plan

    HAPTER Application Examples ETWORK GGREGATION With 10 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 10 distinct collision domains), the switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 8 segments.

  • Page 20: Figure 7: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    HAPTER Application Examples EMOTE ONNECTIONS WITH IBER ABLE 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 10 km, and a 1000BASE-LH link up to 80 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

  • Page 21: Figure 8: Making Vlan Connections

    HAPTER Application Examples VLAN C AKING ONNECTIONS This switch supports 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 22: Application Notes

    HAPTER Application Notes PPLICATION OTES 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.

  • Page 23: Selecting A Site

    Installing the Switch ELECTING A Switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. The site should: be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
