CHAPTER 2 ABOUT THE SWITCH Overview This switch is an ideal solution for delivering Internet access to individual users in multi-dwelling or multi-tenant units (MDUs/ MTUs), such as apartment housing blocks, commercial buildings or hotels. This switch provides rate-limitable connections to individual users with secure port-to-port isolation between users – all with conventional Ethernet cabling and adapters.
ABOUT THE SWITCH Switch Architecture The switch contains 24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports on the front panel. Each port can provide a dedicated link directly to an end-user PC, or be attached to another Ethernet switch/hub at the end-user’s premises and used as a shared link. The switch completely eliminates the bottlenecks of dial-up internet access by offering a configurable bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps full duplex for each end-user connection. For all port connections, the switch’s 8.
OVERVIEW The management agent provides a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing features. Port-based VLANs provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data through the switch. Flowcontrol eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Port security is provided to filter unwanted traffic from the switch. Some of the switch’s advanced features are described below.
ABOUT THE SWITCH minimizes the total number of VLANs required. Private VLANs and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously in the same switch. Multicast Switching Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated. Port Status LEDs The base unit also includes 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. Figure 2-2.

CHAPTER 3 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.
NETWORK PLANNING Application Example This switch is specifically designed for delivering Internet access to individual users in multi-dwelling or multi-tenant units (MDUs/MTUs), such as apartment housing blocks, commercial buildings or hotels. Some features of this application are described below. Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet.
CONNECTIVITY RULES Maximum Cable Distance for 1000BASE-T Type Connector Cat. 5, 5e, or 6 100-ohm UTP RJ-45 Maximum Cable Length 100 m (328 ft) Maximum Cable Distance for 10/100BASE Type Cable Type Maximum Cable Length 10BASE-T Twisted Pair, Categories 3, 4, 5 100 m (328 ft) 100BASE-TX Category 5 100-ohm UTP or STP 100 m (328 ft) February 2003 © 2003 Foundry Networks, Inc.
NETWORK PLANNING 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. When a switch is connected to a hub or any kind of shared media, you may want to turn off back pressure flow control to prevent jamming packets from being propagated throughout the hub. 3.
CHAPTER 4 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.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH suppressor is recommended. 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 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 -2.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Figure 4-1. Attaching the Brackets 100BAS MS-372 E-FX Singlem ode Mod ule 6-SFC TX RX 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided).

Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. 1RWH 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. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in. 4-6 © 2003 Foundry Networks, Inc.
CHAPTER 5 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The switch may be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hubs and switches. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional fiber optic modules. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires a shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (STP or UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS crossover — known as fixed crossover (MDI-X) ports — so that they can be connected to PCs and servers using standard straight-through cable. Some switches and hubs also have an MDI port, so that they can connect to another switch’s/hub’s MDI-X port using straight-through cable. To connect between two switches/hubs that only have fixed MDI-X ports, the wiring crossover must be implemented in the cable — known as a crossover cable.
TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES Figure 5-1. Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2. 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 “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page). Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. 3. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 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. Figure 5-2.
FIBER OPTIC DEVICES Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-X transceiver may be used for backbone and long distance connections, or for ISP (Internet) connections. A 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-X transceiver may also be for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber optic port requires 9/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Figure 5-3. Making SC Port Connections 100B ASE-FX Singlemo de Mod ule MS-3726 -SFC SC fiber connector TX RX 4. As a connection is made, check the Activity LED on the switch’s front panel for the corresponding module to be sure that the connection is valid. 5-6 © 2003 Foundry Networks, Inc.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action PWR LED is Off • Internal power supply is disconnected. • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, the wall outlet. PWR LED is Amber • Internal power supply has failed. • Contact your local dealer for assistance. Link LED is Off • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device.
TROUBLESHOOTING 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.

CABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments &DXWLRQ 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. For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. The RJ-45 port on the 100BASE-TX module is an MDI-X port, which allows you to use straight-through cable for connections to PCs and servers. 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. For connection to hubs or switches which have MDI-X ports, a crossover cable must be used.
CABLES 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.
1000BASE-T PIN ASSIGNMENTS 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments 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 or 5e 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).
CABLES 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 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5.
CONSOLE PORT PIN ASSIGNMENTS 3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link. Console Port Pin Assignments 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 menu-driven 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 tables.
