  • Page 31: Network Planning

    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.

  • Page 32: Sample Applications

    ETWORK LANNING Sample Applications The TigerStack 100 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 TigerStack 100 is an excellent choice for mixed Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.

  • Page 33: Central Wiring Closet

    ETWORK LANNING Central Wiring Closet With up to 104 ports in a stack (i.e., 104 distinct segments), the TigerStack 100 can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the MT-RJ ports on the TigerStack stack are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 96 end nodes.

  • Page 34: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable

    ETWORK LANNING Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 100 Mbps multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km (at full duplex), and a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 10 km.

  • Page 35: Making Vlan Connections

    ETWORK LANNING Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on port groups, or each data frame can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based VLANs, ports can either be assigned to any number of groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks.

  • Page 36: Connectivity Rules

    ETWORK LANNING Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet. 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.

  • Page 38: Application Notes

    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.
