Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The 2402PoE LF switch features 24 10/100BASE-T ports, two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and two Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
Switch Architecture 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. he switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE Network Management Options The switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications.

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.
ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The !"#$%&''$()*+,-+.&! /0*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 in the following pages. Supplying PoE The switch is an excellent choice for supplying power to connected PoE devices such as web cameras, IP telephones or access points.
PPLICATION XAMPLES Collapsed Backbone The !"#$%&''$()*+,-+.&!*/0 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the Fast Ethernet ports built into the front panel or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
ETWORK LANNING Network Aggregation Plan With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 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 10/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity through layer 2 switches.
PPLICATION XAMPLES Remote Connection 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.
ETWORK LANNING Making VLAN Connections The 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. VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs.
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.

ONNECTING TO THE ONSOLE Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.
HAPTER AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The !"#$%&''$()*+,-+.&!*/0 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP tranceivers.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Power-over-Ethernet Connections The PoE switch automatically detects an 802.3af-compliant device by its authenticated PoE signature and senses its required load before turning on DC power to the port. This detection mechanism prevents damage to other network equipment that is not 802.3af compliant. Note: Power-over-Ethernet connections work with all existing Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 network cabling, including patch cables and patch-panels, outlets, and other connecting hardware, without...
WISTED EVICES Cabling Guidelines The RJ-45 ports on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling. Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. 3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid.

The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. 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.
ABLE ABELING AND ONNECTION ECORDS Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

ROUBLESHOOTING Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
PPENDIX ABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
ABLES 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
WISTED ABLE AND SSIGNMENTS Straight-Through Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to...
ABLES Crossover Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to...
WISTED ABLE AND SSIGNMENTS 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T 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. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected.
