EZ S Overview SMC’s EZ Switch 10/100/1000 SMC8024L2 is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 24 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). Port Status Indicators...
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. The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
(purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

power socket is for the AC power cord. Features and Benefits Connectivity • 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment. • Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device;...
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation.
You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding 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 Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
Central Wiring Closet With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports on the switch are providing 1 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 24 local segments.
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 stack to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
Making VLAN Connections The switch supports VLANs that 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.
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. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach the switch directly to a multi-protocol router.
NSTALLING THE Selecting a Site EZ Switch 10/100/1000 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.

2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 3. If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter.
NSTALLING AN Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into the Switch Figure 3-5 Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot The switch supports the following optional transceivers: Table 3-1 Optional Transcievers 1000BASE-SX (SMCBGSLCX1) 1000BASE-LX (SMCBGLLCX1) 1000BASE-ZX (SMCBGZLCX1) To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver. Note: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
Connecting Network Devices The EZ Switch 10/100/1000 units are 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 transceivers.
Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Network Wiring Connections”...
1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel. 2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.
50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. Warning: the switch use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
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.

to “All”. PCs cannot, in general, send or receive tagged packets. Switches should be connected to each other with Packet Type set to “Tagged”. If the Packet Type is set to “All”, the port can accept incoming tagged and untagged packets. Untagged packets will be associated with the VLAN identified by the PVID.
QoS (Quality of Service) is a mechanism which is used to prioritize certain traffic as it is moves through the switch. Traffic can be classified as High or Normal priority and, when the switch is heavily loaded, it is the Normal priority packets that are dropped first.
Page 83
ONFIGURATION DSCP Packets are prioritized using the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a six bit field that is contained within an IP (TCP or UDP) header. Six bits allows the DSCP field to take any value in the range 0 - 63 inclusive. When QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP Configuration table appears which allows a priority (normal or high) to be set for each of the DSCP values.
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Security IP Filter On this page, you can setup the source IP Filter on all or some ports. It is used to block unwanted access and provide access to the network for either a specific source IP address or a specific subnet. The IP Filter Configuration table has one row for each port and five columns.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10BASE-T/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.
1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.
(MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on the 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 support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
“X” (which indicates MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on the 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 support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
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.
ABLES Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between switches and end devices. Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and correct the problem: 1.
