    The switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, and Virtual LANs. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services.

  • Page 20: Switch Architecture

    It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage this switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network management software.

  • Page 21: Description Of Hardware

    The SMC8126L2 contains 26 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full 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 25: Chapter 2: Network Planning

    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.

  • Page 26: Application Examples

    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, or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.

  • Page 27: Network Aggregation Plan

    Application Examples Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), a switch 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 are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through Layer 2 switches.

  • Page 28: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    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 to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

  • Page 30: Application Notes

    Application Notes 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. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach these switches directly to a multi-protocol router.

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.

  • Page 42: Connectivity Rules

    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.

  • Page 43: 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) or Category 6 cable should be used.

    For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected. • Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports. • For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable labeling.

  • Page 45: Appendix A: Troubleshooting

    • If the condition does not clear, contact your local dealer for assistance. • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. • Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
