Introduction  
1
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  
The switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of  
network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to  
configure or monitor the switch using its embedded Web-management software, or  
via SNMP applications.  
For a detailed description of switch’s advanced 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, or at 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 Pin  
Assignments” on page B-3.)  
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.  
SFP Slots  
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with four of the  
RJ-45 ports (ports 21-24). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver  
(purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the  
associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used.

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.  
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 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. In a  
basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections for up  
to 24 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, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in  
SFP transceiver.  
In the figure below, the 24-port switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a  
small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to  
workstations, 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users, and 1 Gbps  
full-duplex connections to servers.

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.  
A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between  
floors in the same building, and a 1000BASE-LX transceiver can be used for  
high-bandwidth core connections between buildings in a campus setting. For  
long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-LH SFP transceiver can be used to reach  
another site up to 70 kilometers away.  
The figure below illustrates three switches interconnecting multiple segments with  
fiber cable.

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.  
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.

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. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types,  
you can attach the switch directly to a multi-protocol router.  
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: 5 km (3.1 miles) for single-mode fiber  
• 1000BASE-LH: 70 km (43 miles) for single-mode fiber  
However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating  
the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

Chapter 3: Installing the Switch  
Selecting a Site  
switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat  
surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.  
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 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and its  
humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing  
provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or 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.  
Ethernet Cabling  
To ensure proper operation when installing the switches 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

Mounting  
A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop  
or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.  
Rack Mounting  
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:  
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than  
the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is  
within the specified operating temperature range (see page C-1).  
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.  
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not  
overloaded.  
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular  
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to  
the mains.

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections  
Connecting Network Devices  
The switch units are designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision  
domains). It can 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 optional 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.

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. 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: The switch use 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.  
Note: 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.  
Hinweis:Bei der Wahl eines Glasfasertransceivers muß für die Beurteilung der  
Gesamtsicherheit beachtet werden, das die maximale Umgebungstemperatur  
des Transceivers für den Betrieb nicht niedriger ist als die für dieses Produkts.  
Der Glasfasertransceiver muß auch ein überprüftes Gerät der Laser Klasse 1  
sein.  
1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber  
cable, the rubber cover 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 cables will impair the quality of the light  
transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

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 specification includes 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.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records  
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of  
cables and to record where each cable is connected. 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  
network-connected 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.

Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.  
Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding  
device.  
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.  
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, and verify that the fans on  
the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the  
problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.

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 through 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.

Appendix B: Cables  
Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments  
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs  
of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of  
wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire  
might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector  
must be attached to both ends of the cable.  
Caution:  
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific  
orientation.  
Caution:  
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only  
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.  
Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to  
hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.

Figure B-1 RJ-45 Connector Pin Numbers  
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments  
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45  
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or  
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the  
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).  
The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so  
you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or  
to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of  
the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of  
the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either  
straight-through or crossover cable.

Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire  
pair.  
Straight-Through Wiring  
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal  
crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When  
auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either  
straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)  
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support  
Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Crossover Wiring  
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an  
“X” (indicating MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (which indicates MDI), a  
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for  
any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable  
to connect to any device type.)  
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support

1000BASE-T Pin Assignments  
All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use  
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other  
switches or hubs.  
The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports  
require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T  
operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive.  
Use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded  
twisted-pair (STP) cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be sure that the length  
of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable  
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk  
(NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing information is specified in  
the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test  
parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These  
tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional  
Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”  
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables  
between switches and end devices.  
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T  
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for  
1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and  
correct the problem:  
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or  
Category 6 cables.  
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.  
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.  
Fiber Standards  
The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A specification on  
optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type for horizontal subsystems  
and two cable types for backbone subsystems.  
Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet).  
Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single mode.  
TIA 568-B will allow the use of 50/125 micron multimode optical fiber in both the  
horizontal and backbone in addition to the types listed above. All optical fiber  
components and installation practices must meet applicable building and safety  
codes.
