Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The ES4324 is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are Gigabit combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24). Port Status Indicators 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports... -
Page 18: Switch Architecture
Introduction Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. -
Page 19: Port And Power Status Leds
Description of Hardware Port and Power Status LEDs The switch includes a display panel for key system and port indications 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. Power Status LED Port Status LEDs Figure 1-3 Port and Power LEDs... -

Page 23: Chapter 2: Network Planning
Chapter 2: Network Planning 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 have, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology. -
Page 24: Application Examples
Network Planning Application Examples The 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 switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. -
Page 25: Central Wiring Closet
Application Examples Central Wiring Closet With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 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 1 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 24 local segments. -
Page 26: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable
Network Planning 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-LH link up to 70 km. This allows a switch stack to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. -
Page 27: Making Vlan Connections
Application Examples Making VLAN Connections The switch supports VLANs that 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. -
Page 28: Application Notes
Network Planning 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 the switch directly to a multi-protocol router. -

Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-LH) 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. -
Page 39: Figure 4-3 Making Connections To Sfp Transceivers
Fiber Optic SFP Devices 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.
