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 SMC6726AL2 switch 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 below. Collapsed Backbone The SMC6726AL2 switch is an excellent choice for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
PPLICATION XAMPLES Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), the SMC6752AL2 switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments.
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 This 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.
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 Switch 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 switch 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: •...

NSTALLING THE WITCH 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. Montage (Rack Mounting Instructions - German) ES3526XA Switch-Einheiten können an ein standardmäßiges 19-Zoll Einrichtungsrack, einen Arbeitstisch oder ein Regal montiert werden.
OUNTING Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 3-4 Attaching the Adhesive Feet 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.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver P W R D ia g Figure 3-5 Installing an SFP Transceiver into a Slot This switch supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers. To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1.
ONNECTING TO A OWER OURCE Connecting to a Power Source To connect a switch to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at the back of the switch. 100-240V~ 50-60Hz 0.8A Figure 3-6 Power Receptacle 2.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s rear panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-driven configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.
HAPTER AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The SMC6752AL2 switch 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 remote devices using the optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
WISTED EVICES 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. Network Wiring Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks.
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.
SFP D IBER PTIC EVICES 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. P W R D ia g Figure 4-3 Making Fiber Port Connections...
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.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS 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.

PPENDIX ABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the 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 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...
