ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE These switches include built-in stacking ports that enable up to eight units to be connected together through a 48 Gbps stack backplane. The switch stack can be managed from a master unit using a single IP address. These switches also include two slots on the rear panel for slide-in single-port 10GBASE modules with XFP transceivers.
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with four of the RJ-45 ports (ports 21-24 for the SMC8824M and ports 45-48 for the SMC8848M). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (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.
ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE Port and System Status LEDs switches include a display panel for key system and port indications These that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.

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. These switches have, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The TigerStack II 10/100/1000 is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs or IP subnets. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The TigerStack II 10/100/1000 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth...
PPLICATION XAMPLES Network Aggregation Plan With 24 or 48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 or 48 distinct collision domains), a Gigabit switch stack 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 in a stack of 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switches are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through stackable switches.
ETWORK LANNING Remote Connections 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.
PPLICATION XAMPLES Making VLAN Connections These switches support 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.
ETWORK LANNING 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.
HAPTER NSTALLING THE WITCH Selecting a Site TigerStack II 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.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switches into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: •...

ONNECTING WITCHES IN A TACK 3. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Note: SFP and XFP 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.
NSTALLING THE WITCH 4. (Optional) To form a wrap-around topology, plug one end of a stack cable into the Down port on the bottom unit and the other end into the Up port on the top unit. Figure 3-7 Making Stacking Connections 5.
ONNECTING WITCHES IN A TACK Stacking Topologies All units in the stack must be connected via stacking cable. You can connect units in a simple cascade configuration, connecting Down ports to Up ports, from the top unit to the bottom unit. Using this “line” topology, if any link or unit in the stack fails, the stack is split and two separate segments are formed.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the socket located at the back of the device. Figure 3-8 Power Socket 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.
ONNECTING TO THE ONSOLE Connecting to the Console Port The RJ-45 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 TigerStack II 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 XFP or SFP transceivers.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. 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.
WISTED EVICES Network Wiring Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-ZX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
10 G IBER PTIC ONNECTIONS 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. S t a c k M a s t e r...

PPENDIX ABLES 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.
ABLES 10BASE-T/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 these switches, 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” (indicating MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (which indicates MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring.
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.
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.
