CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10G Overview The SMC8708L2 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 10GBASE XFP slots*, and 1 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 management port. The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic.
ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10G Switch Architecture The SMC8708L2 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. This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.

ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10G 1-10
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.
NETWORK PLANNING Application Examples The TigerSwitch 10G 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. Network Aggregation Plan With 8 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 8 distinct collision domains), the TigerSwitch 10G can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 10GBASE-SR (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 300 meters away, and a 10GBASE-LR (SMF) link can connect to a remote site up to 10 km away. This allows a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
NETWORK PLANNING 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.
APPLICATION NOTES 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, you can attach this switch to a router or WAN gateway. 3. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed: • 10GBASE-SR: 300 m (984.
NETWORK PLANNING 2-6
CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Selecting a Site TigerSwitch 10G 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 Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when connecting to the management port, make sure the current cable is suitable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX 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, or Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX.
EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST Equipment Checklist After unpacking this 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.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Mounting This switch 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-2.
MOUNTING To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 3-2 Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided).
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 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. 5. If also installing an RPS, mount it in the rack below the other devices. Montage (Rack Mounting Instructions - German) SMC8708L2 Switch-Einheiten können an ein standardmäßiges 19-Zoll Einrichtungsrack, einen Arbeitstisch oder ein Regal montiert werden.
MOUNTING Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 3-4 Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 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.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Installing an XFP Transceiver Figure 3-5 Installing an XFP Transceiver The XFP slots support the following XFP transceivers: • 10GBASE-SR • 10GBASE-LR To install an XFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate XFP transceiver type. 2. Insert the transceiver with the connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that XFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation. 3.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE Connecting to a Power Source To connect a switch to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at the back of the switch. 100-240V~ 50-60Hz 2A Figure 3-6 Power Receptacle 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 receptacle type in your country. 3.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s rear panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-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 table.
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10G is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It includes a 100BASE-TX port for management access, and 8 XFP ports for high-speed connections to your data network. XFP transceivers can be connected to any network device that supports the required 10 Gigabit Ethernet media type, such as network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to switches, routers, or remote devices.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 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. Connecting Devices to the Management Port 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2.
CONNECTING TO THE MANAGEMENT PORT 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 the switch’s management port, and the other end to the patch panel. 2.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Fiber Optic XFP Devices A 10 Gigabit XFP transceiver (10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. For information on installing fiber optic XFP transceivers, refer to the following description. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
FIBER OPTIC XFP DEVICES 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 transceiver and the other end to the LC port on the other device.
