Page 3: Introduction
To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port on the switch’s rear panel. You can configure the switch’s wide array of advanced features, such as: •... -
Page 4: Installing The Switch
Installing the Switch Before installing the switch verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before installing the switch. Note that this switch can be installed on any suitably large flat surface or in a standard EIA 19-inch rack. -
Page 5: Mounting The Switch
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The switch's power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level. • The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm (4 in.) of space on the sides for ventilation. -

Powering On the Switch Plug the power cord into the power socket on the rear of the switch, and the other end into a power outlet. (If you have purchased a redundant power supply, plug it into the “DC INPUT”... -
Page 7: Verifying Port Status
Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the Link indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch, check the following items: •... -
Page 8: Applications
Gigabit Ethernet-compliant device, such as another switch or a server’s network adapter. All switch ports can operate at 1000 Mbps full duplex, providing 2 Gbps of bandwidth to the attached device. -
Page 9: Configuring The Switch From The Console Port
Required Connections Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem connection. When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 38400 bps. -

Page 13: Configuring Port Parameters
Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half duplex, and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Note that flow control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub. -
Page 14: Configuring Port Trunks
You can configure trunks between any two ES4008A switches. The ports on this switch can be grouped into a trunk consisting of two, three or four ports, creating an aggregate bandwidth up to 4, 6, or 8 Gbps. Besides balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional ports provide redundancy by taking over the load if another port in the trunk fails. - Page 15 You can use the Port Trunking Configuration screen to set up port trunks as shown below: Smart Switch: Port Trunking Configuration ============ List Current Link Aggregates Port Count Port Number Trunk1 port 1 to 2 Trunk2 port 3 to 4...

Page 17: Configuring Virtual Lans
Configuring Virtual LANs You can use the VLAN configuration menu to assign any port on the switch to any of up to 32 LAN groups. In conventional networks with routers, broadcast traffic is split up into separate domains. Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains. This can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle traffic such as IPX or NetBeui. -
Page 18: Priority Configuration
Priority Configuration This switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) by using four priority queues from 0 (lowest priority), to 3 (highest priority). Inbound frames that do not have priority tags are tagged with the input port’s default priority tag, and then placed in the appropriate priority queue at the output port. -

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Page 24: Port And Cable Assignments
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. The RJ-45 ports on the 1000BASE-T switch operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex, with support for auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode and flow control. -
Page 25: 1000Base-T Cable Requirements
1000BASE-T Cable Requirements All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used. -
