1 1-6 Introduction
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 has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
2 Network Planning Application Examples The ES3628EA 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 in the following pages. Collapsed Backbone The ES3628EA is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
Application Examples 2 Network Aggregation Plan With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the ES3628EA can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps full-duplex connections for up to 24 local segments through stackable switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
2 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 the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
2 Application Examples 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.
2 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. The ES3628EA provides 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. Just assign an IP address to any VLANs that need to communicate.
Application Notes 2 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.

Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switches 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.
3 Installing the Switch RJ-45 Connector Figure 3-1 RJ-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpacking the switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Mounting 3 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.
3 2. Installing the Switch Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 3-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order.
Mounting 3. Wenn Sie nur einen Switch installieren, dann springen Sie bitte über zu "Verbinden mit einer Stromquelle" auf Seite 3-7 am Ende dieses Kapitels. 4. Wenn Sie mehrere Switches installieren möchten, dann montieren Sie sie untereinander in einer beliebigen Reihenfolge. 3 Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch.
3 Installing the Switch 3. If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver Figure 3-5 Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot This switch supports 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers.
Connecting to a Power Source 3 Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. Figure 3-6 Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. 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 receptacle type in your country. 3.
3 Installing the Switch 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.
Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The ES3628EA 24 10/100 Ports + 4G L2/L3/L4 Intelligent Switch is 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 other devices using optional SFP transceivers. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
4 2. Making Network Connections If the device is a PC 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 “Network Wiring Connections” on page 4-2.) 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. 3.
Fiber Optic SFP Devices 4 Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional SFP transceiver (100BASE-FX, 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 multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
4 6. Making Network Connections As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate a 100 Mbps full duplex. 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. All of these SFP modules also support auto-negotiation of flow control.

4 Making Network Connections • 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.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Power supply is disconnected. • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. • Contact your dealer for assistance. Power LED is Amber • Internal power supply has failed. Contact your local dealer for assistance. Diag LED is Amber • Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition.
A Troubleshooting 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 Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10BASE-T and 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.
