Page 18: Switching Method
10/100/1000 BOUT THE IGER WITCH Switching Method The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. Management Options This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a- glance”... -

ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE Description of Hardware 1000BASE-T Ports These ports are 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: 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 26: Application Examples
ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The TigerSwitch 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. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone This switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. -
Page 27: Central Wiring Closet
PPLICATION XAMPLES Central Wiring Closet With 12 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 12 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 2 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 12 local segments. -
Page 28: Remote Connection With Fiber Cable
ETWORK LANNING Remote Connection with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver link can connect to a site up to 5 km away. This allows the Gigabit Ethernet switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. -
Page 29: Making Vlan Connections
PPLICATION XAMPLES 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 be assigned to one or more groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. -
Page 30: Connectivity Rules
ETWORK LANNING Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below 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. -

Page 32: 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. -

Page 39: Making Network Connections
HAPTER AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It may 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 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers. -
Page 40: Cabling Guidelines
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Cabling Guidelines The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). Note: If auto-negotiation is disabled for an RJ-45 port, the auto-MDI/ MDI-X pin signal configuration is also disabled. - Page 41 WISTED EVICES 2. If the device is a network card and this 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 “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page).
