Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome Thank you for choosing a Linksys Ethernet switch. This Ethernet switch allows you to quickly and easily expand your Linksys One system. It delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty four ports wire up your workstations or connect to other Linksys switches or devices. LED indicators provide power, link, and activity status.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 1 This user guide contains the following chapters: Chapter 1, "Introduction" Chapter This chapter describes the Ethernet switch applications and provides an overview of the content of this administration guide. Chapter 2, "Getting to Know the Switch" This chapter describes the physical features of the Ethernet switch. Chapter 3, "Connecting the Switch" This chapter explains how to install and connect the Ethernet switch.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Chapter 2 Getting to Know the Switch Overview The SFE2000 and SFE2000P models are 24-port, layer-2 Ethernet switches that expand the capability of the Linksys system. These two versions are functionally identical except the SFE2000P model offers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be used to supply power to various Linksys products over Ethernet cable. The Front Panel 1 System Status LEDs.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 2 System Status LEDs A green PWR LED lights to indicate that the Ethernet switch is powered by internal power supplies. If the Ethernet switch is powered by a remote power supply (RPS), this LED blinks red. FAN A green FAN LED lights to indicate that the cooling fan is operating properly. A blinking red FAN LED indicates that the cooling fan has failed. RPS A green RPS LED lights to indicate that RPS is connected and operating properly.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 2 Stack ID LEDs Chapter Stack ID A green Stack ID LED indicates that this Switch is stacked and the corresponding number indicates its stack ID. Range is 1 to 8. Reset Switch The Ethernet switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET opening. If the reset switch is held for 10 seconds or longer, the Ethernet switch will be reset to its default settings.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 2 Uplink Ports The Switch is equipped with 4 uplink ports and 2 mini-GBIC uplink ports. Chapter G1-G4 Ports G1-G4 are Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ab) uplink ports which support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. Ports G3 and G4 are shared with GBIC1 and GBIC2 ports, respectively. If shared ports pairs are both connected, then the mini-GBIC port takes priority. In stacking mode, two ports are used for stacking. By default, the stacking ports are G1-G2.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Power Port The 100-240 VAC power cord is connected to the Power port. Chapter 2 CAUTION: Only use the power cord that is supplied with the Ethernet switch. The unit may be damaged if the incorrect power cord is used. Console Port The Console port is where you connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to ”Configuring the HyperTerminal Application,” on page 14 for more information.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 3 Connecting the Switch Chapter Overview This chapter will explain how to connect network devices to the Ethernet switch. For an example of a possible network configuration, see the application diagrams shown below. Before You Install the Switch... When you choose a location for the Ethernet switch, observe the following guidelines: • Make sure that the Ethernet switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Chapter 3 Placement Options Before connecting cables to the Ethernet switch, first you will physically install the Ethernet switch. Either set the Ethernet switch on its four rubber feet for desktop placement, mount it in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide for rack-mount placement, or mount it on a wall with the wall-mount brackets provided. NOTE: The four supplied mounting brackets can be used for either wall mount or rack mount installations. Desktop Placement 1.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 3 4. Repeat steps 2 through 3 for the other side of the Ethernet switch. 5. Attach the Ethernet switch to the rack using the supplied screws. Chapter Wall-Mount Placement 1. On one of the side corners, remove the four front screws on of the Ethernet switch. Retain the screws for re-installation. NOTE: The Ethernet switch, shown below, is mounted with the ports located on top. When the switch is mounted to a wall, the ports can be oriented in any direction. 2.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Chapter 3 3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices. 4. If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then insert the mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For detailed instructions, refer to the documentation supplied with the mini-GBIC module. CAUTION: Observe the orientation of the mini-GBIC module before inserting it into a mini-GBIC port. The bottom miniGBIC ports are upside down in relation to the top mini-GBIC ports. 5.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Stacking Multiple Switches 3 Stacking Highlights • In stacking mode, each Ethernet switch is given a unique ID, from 1 to 8. • Stack IDs 1 and 2 are Master Enabled units. Devices support stacking up to eight Ethernet switches per stack, or can operate as standalone units. During the Stacking setup, the switches auto-select one of the switches as the Stacking Master. All other devices are named as slave stack members and assigned a unique Unit ID.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution Chapter 3 By default, the Ethernet switch is in stacking mode. Using the console interface or the web interface, you can change the mode to standalone mode. TIP: Power the Ethernet switches in the order that you want them in the Stack ID. The first powered Ethernet switch in a stack is assigned as the Master Unit, the next powered unit is assigned as the Master-Backup. The remaining units are assigned Stack IDs in the order that they are powered.
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution 4 Console Configuration Chapter Overview The Ethernet switch features a menu-based console interface for basic configuration of the Ethernet switch and management of your network. The Ethernet switch can be configured using a menu-based interface through the console port or through a telnet connection. This chapter describes console interface configuration. Configuration can also be performed through the web utility, which is covered in the next chapter.
