    1. Introduction FMX-24NZ switch is a high performance web-managed SNMP Layer 2 switch that provides users with 24 10/100Mbps Ethernet and 2 1000Mbps Gigabit ports (optional). This Switch has SNMP management and remote control capabilities such as “Web Cluster”. The Gigabit module, which can be copper or fiber media, supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-T, allowing users to increase their network response time at gigabit speeds and with great flexibility.

  • Page 6: Installation

    Rack Installation: The FMX-24NZ switch can be mounted in an ELA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
  • Page 7 Power on: The FMX-24NZ switch can be used with an AC power supply 90-260V AC, 50-60Hz. The AC power connector is located at the rear of the unit. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.

  • Page 8: Initial Set Up For Management

    1.3 Initial set up for management There are two management ways can be chosen, one is out-of-band management, you work this way with a PC and connect your PC and switch through RS232 cable. The other way is in-band-management, you also work with a PC but connect your PC and switch through Ethernet network no matter local or remotely, or simply directly connect your PC and switch through an Ethernet cable.

  • Page 9: In-Band Management Through Ethernet

    1.3.2 In-band management through Ethernet In addition to terminal mode operation, FMX-24NZ switch also supports in-band management through browser, this function is much more user-friendly than terminal mode, because it can be operated through mouse on the PC screen and moreover it can be performed either locally or remotely through Ethernet.
  • Page 10 type http:// IP-Address-of-switch to access the switch through Ethernet or over internet. But if there is no DHCP in the network, then you must follow the steps instructed below: When there is no DHCP server in your network domain, according to the concept described above, you must modify either the PC side or switch side to match the rule “the communication members in the same domain must have different IP Addresses and same Subnet Mask.

  • Page 11: Telnet Management

    1.3.3 Telnet management In addition to local terminal mode operation, FMX-24NZ switch supports remote management through Telnet over network or even over internet for that environment without browser. In this mode, user also has to do the same setting as required in in-band management to the IP Configuration before executing the Telnet program.

    5. Application Examples 5.1. LAN application used with switch VLAN is a simple solution to protect your network against broadcast storming by creating segments based on Layer2 Ethernet information and avoiding the complexity and the heavy processing requirements of Layer3 IP based routers. As a result, each group of stations connected to separate Segmented Ports forms different isolated Broadcast Domain.

  • Page 117: Benefits Of Vlans

    Benefits of VLANs Grouping users into logical networks for performance enhancement. Provides effective broadcasts containment between Segmented Ports, which prevents flooding of a network. Offers security by completely isolating from each other the different Broadcast Domains connected on separate Segmented Ports. Preserving current investment in equipment and cabling.

  • Page 118: Trunking Application Used With Switch

    5.2. Trunking Application used with switch Trunking allows you to increase the available bandwidth between switches by grouping ports into a trunk. Trunk can also be used to connect server to switches for higher bandwidth service required. You can use trunking to improve the throughput between segments. Moreover, this switch furtherly provides trunk with fail-over function, that is, when one of the links of trunk is fail or broken, the traffic originally go through that link will be automatically re-direct to other links of trunk, this give the trunk with redundancy and greatly increase the value of...
