The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides inband access for managing the switch. The switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services. Figure 1: Front Panel System Indicators Port Status Indicators 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports Figure 2: Rear Panel – 22 – Reset Button 1000BASE-T/SFP Ports CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview 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. 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. NETWORK MANAGEMENT OPTIONS With a comprehensive array of LEDs, the switch provides “at a glance” monitoring of network and port status. The switch can be managed over the network with a web browser. For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the Management Guide. DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE 10/100/1000BASE-T PORTS The switch contains 24 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, and 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports on the 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. (See "1000BASE-T Cable Requirements" on page 47.) Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated. SFP TRANSCIEVER SLOTS The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are independent ports. – 23 – CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview The following table shows a list of transceiver types that have been tested with the switch. For an updated list of vendors supplying these transceivers, contact your local dealer. For information on the recommended standards for fiber optic cabling, see "Fiber Optic SFP Devices" on page 45.

The reset button is located on the front panel. Figure 5: Reset Button Reset Button – 26 – CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview – 27 – 2 NETWORK PLANNING INTRODUCTION TO SWITCHING A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via noncrossbar 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. When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the device experiencing congestion (server, power user, or hub) can be attached directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be doubled to maximize throughput. When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation. A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network to significantly boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and network cards. APPLICATION EXAMPLES The switches are 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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected – 28 – CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct fullduplex connections for up to 10 workstations or servers. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver. In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 1000 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 1000 Mbps fullduplex connections to servers. Figure 6: Collapsed Backbone NETWORK AGGREGATION PLAN With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 10 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 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity for up to eight segments, while the 1000BASE-SFP ports are providing connectivity for two Gigabit segments. – 29 – CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples Figure 7: Network Aggregation Plan 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 10 km, a 1000BASE-LH link up to 80 km, and a 100BASE-FX (SMF) link up to 20 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. The figure below illustrates the switch connecting multiple segments with fiber cable. – 30 – CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples Figure 8: Remote Connections with Fiber Cable MAKING VLAN CONNECTIONS This switch supports 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. VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links. – 31 – CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Notes Figure 9: Making VLAN Connections NOTE: When connecting to a switch that does not support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags, use untagged ports. 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. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. 3. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed: ■ 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber. ■ 1000BASE-LX: 10 km (6.2 miles) for single-mode fiber. – 32 – CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Notes ■ 1000BASE-LH: 80 km (50 miles) for single-mode fiber. ■ 100BASE-FX: 20 km (12 miles) for single-mode fiber. However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment. – 33 – 3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH This chapter describes how to install the switch. SELECTING A SITE ◆ The site should: ■ be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. ■ be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing ■ provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow ■ be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices ■ allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible ◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters. ◆ Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. – 34 – CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Ethernet Cabling ETHERNET CABLING To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: ◆ Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000BASE-T. ◆ Protection from radio frequency interference emissions ◆ Electrical surge suppression ◆ Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring ◆ Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields Figure 10: RJ-45 Connections RJ-45 Connector – 35 – CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Equipment Checklist EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST After unpacking this switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components.

Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC inlet located at the back of the switch. Figure 14: Power Inlet 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source. NOTE: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the wall socket type in your country. 3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power LED is on green. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in. – 40 – CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Mounting INSTALLING AN OPTIONAL SFP TRANSCEIVER Figure 15: Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into a Slot This switch supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, and 100BASE-FX SFP-compatible transceivers. To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. 2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation. 3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. NOTE: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing the transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing the transceiver. NOTE: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package. – 41 – 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES This switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers. TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections. CABLING GUIDELINES The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling. CAUTION: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. – 42 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Twisted-Pair Devices CONNECTING TO PCS, SERVERS, HUBS AND SWITCHES 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. Figure 16: Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2. If the device is a network card and the 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 the section "Network Wiring Connections" on page 44.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. NOTE: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. 3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to each port will light green or amber to indicate that the connection is valid. – 43 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Twisted-Pair Devices NETWORK WIRING CONNECTIONS Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows. 1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel. 2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet. 3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. See "Cable Labeling and Connection Records" on page 49. Figure 17: Network Wiring Connections – 44 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices FIBER OPTIC SFP DEVICES An optional SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX) 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. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/ 125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. WARNING: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. WARNING: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver. 1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics. 2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port. 3. 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. – 45 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices Figure 18: Making Fiber Port Connections 4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate at 100 Mbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable depend on the fiber type as listed under "1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 47 and "100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 48. – 46 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Connectivity Rules CONNECTIVITY RULES When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals 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. 1000BASE-T CABLE REQUIREMENTS All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standards. 1000 MBPS GIGABIT ETHERNET COLLISION DOMAIN Table 4: Maximum 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Cable Length Cable Type Maximum Cable Length Connector Category 5, 5e, or 6 100-ohm UTP or STP 100 m (328 ft) RJ-45 Table 5: Maximum 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Cable Lengths Fiber Size Fiber Bandwidth Maximum Cable Length Connector 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber 160 MHz/km 2-220 m (7-722 ft) LC 200 MHz/km 2-275 m (7-902 ft) LC 400 MHz/km 2-500 m (7-1641 ft) LC 500 MHz/km 2-550 m (7-1805 ft) LC 50/125 micron multimode fiber – 47 – CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Connectivity Rules Table 6: Maximum 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet Cable Length Fiber Size Fiber Bandwidth Maximum Cable Length Connector 9/125 micron singlemode fiber N/A 2 m - 10 km (7 ft - 6.4 miles) LC Table 7: Maximum 1000BASE-LH Gigabit Ethernet Cable Length Fiber Size Fiber Bandwidth Maximum Cable Length Connector 9/125 micron singlemode fiber N/A 2 m - 70 km (7 ft - 43.5 miles) LC 100 MBPS FAST ETHERNET COLLISION DOMAIN Table 8: Maximum 100BASE-FX Cable Length Type Cable Type Max.

Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption. To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines: ◆ Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable. ◆ Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all networkconnected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected. ◆ Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports. ◆ For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable labeling. ◆ Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment. ◆ Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly. ◆ Label each separate piece of equipment. ◆ Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all abbreviations at each equipment rack. – 49 – A TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSING LED INDICATORS Table 11: LED Indicators LED Status Action Power LED is Off ◆ Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. ◆ Contact your dealer for assistance. Diag LED is Flashing Amber ◆ ◆ Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition. Link LED is Off ◆ ◆ Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. ◆ If the switch is installed in a rack, check the connections to the punch-down block and patch panel. ◆ Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits. ◆ Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects. Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary. If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance. Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. POWER AND COOLING PROBLEMS If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective. – 50 – APPENDIX A | Troubleshooting Installation INSTALLATION Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly. IN-BAND ACCESS You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using a web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch. CAUTION: The management agent can accept up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. If the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional Telnet connection will not be able to log into the system. – 51 – B SPECIFICATIONS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS PORTS 24 10/100/1000BASE-T, with auto-negotiation 2 100/1000BASE-SFP transceiver slots NETWORK INTERFACE Ports 1-24: RJ-45 connector, auto MDI/MDI-X 10BASE-T: RJ-45 (100-ohm, UTP cable; Category 3 or better) 100BASE-TX: RJ-45 (100-ohm, UTP cable; Category 5 or better) 1000BASE-T: RJ-45 (100-ohm, UTP cable; Category 5, 5e or better) *Maximum Cable Length - 100 m (328 ft) Ports 25-26: SFP transceiver slots 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX,1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, 1000BASE-T *The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under: "1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 47.
