    Description of Hardware Description of Hardware 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports The switches contain 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 these switches 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 24: Port And System Status Leds

    Introduction Port and System Status LEDs These switches include 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.

    Introduction Optional Redundant Power Unit The switch supports an optional Redundant Power Unit (RPU), that can supply power to the switch in the event of failure of the internal power supply. Power Supply Sockets There are two power sockets on the rear panel of each switch. The standard power socket is for the AC power cord.

    Introduction Performance • Transparent bridging. • Aggregate duplex bandwidth of up to 48 Gbps. • Switching table with a total of 16K MAC address entries and 8K IP address entries • Provides store-and-forward switching for intra-VLAN traffic, and IP routing for inter-VLAN traffic.

  • Page 29: 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. These switches have, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.

  • Page 30: Application Examples

    Network Planning Application Examples The Gigabit Ethernet Switches are not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs or IP subnets. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The Gigabit Ethernet Switches are an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in...

  • Page 31: Network Aggregation Plan

    Application Examples Network Aggregation Plan With 24 bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), a Gigabit switch stack can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a stack of 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switches are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through stackable switches.

  • Page 32: 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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch stack to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

  • Page 33: Making Vlan Connections

    Application Examples Making VLAN Connections These switches support 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.

  • Page 34: Using Layer 3 Routing

    Network Planning Using Layer 3 Routing VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your performance advantage. These Gigabit Ethernet Switches are routing switches that provide wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your conventional IP routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router linked to the WAN.

  • Page 35: Application Notes

    Application Notes 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 this switch directly to a multi-protocol router.

  • Page 43: Figure 3-7 Making Stacking Connections

    Connecting Switches in a Stack To connect up to eight switches in a stack, perform the following steps: Plug one end of the stack cable (ordered separately) in the Down (right) port of the top unit. Plug the other end of the stack cable into the Up (left) port of the next unit. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each unit in the stack.

  • Page 44: Stacking Topologies

    Installing the Switch Stacking Topologies All units in the stack must be connected via stacking cable. You can connect units in a simple cascade configuration, connecting Up ports to Down ports, from the top unit to the bottom unit. Using this “line” topology, if any link or unit in the stack fails, the stack splits and two separate segments are formed.

    Connecting to the Console Port Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.
