ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 100 1-14
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 Sample Applications The TigerSwitch 100 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 TigerSwitch 100 is an excellent choice for mixed Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers.
NETWORK PLANNING Central Wiring Closet With up to 104 ports in a stack (i.e., 104 distinct segments), the TigerSwitch 100 can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the VF-45 ports on the TigerSwitch stack are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 96 end nodes. In addition, the switch is also connecting servers at 2 Gbps.
NETWORK PLANNING Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type (up to 10 kilometers for 100 Mbps single-mode fiber at full duplex, or up to 5 kilometers for 1 Gbps fiber). The TigerSwitch can serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. The 100 Mbps single-mode fiber module can be used to interconnect remote Fast Ethernet segments.
NETWORK PLANNING Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on port groups, or each data frame can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based VLANs, ports can either be assigned to any number of groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. A single switch can be easily configured to support several VLAN groups for various organizational entities (such as Finance and Marketing).
NETWORK PLANNING Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed below for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet. 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.
NETWORK PLANNING 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Collision Domain Maximum 100BASE-FX Fiber Optic Cable Distance 100BASE-FX 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron core multimode fiber (MMF) Full duplex 100BASE-FX 2 km (1.24 miles) SC or ST 9/125 9 micron core single-mode fiber (SMF) Full duplex 10 km (6.
NETWORK PLANNING Maximum Fast Ethernet Cable Distance Cable Type 2-8 Connecting Max. Distance Twisted Pair Any two devices 100 m (328 ft.) Fiber Switch to switch, server or PC Half duplex 412 m (1,351.4 ft.) Full duplex 2 km (1.24 mi.
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, remember to turn off back pressure to prevent the attached port from being frequently partitioned due to the jamming packets. 3.
NETWORK PLANNING 2-10
INSTALLING CHAPTER 3 THE SWITCH Selecting a Site TigerSwitch 100 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 Equipment Checklist After unpacking the TigerSwitch 100, 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 A TigerSwitch 100 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. Installing Optional Modules: Before mounting the switch, be sure you install any optional modules. If you have purchased an optional slide-in 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X media expansion module, or Stack Module, install these modules now, following the instructions included with the package.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Status Activ ity 1 Figure 3-1. Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Status Activi ty 1 Figure 3-2.
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 RPUs, mount them in the rack below the other devices. Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. 1 Status Activi ty Figure 3-3. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Installing an Optional Module into the Switch Optional modules are available for media expansion, stacking and management. These modules can be installed into the modular slots on the rear panel of the switch. The Network Management Module must be installed in the upper slot, and the Stack Module in the lower-left slot. The media expansion modules can be installed in either of the two lower slots. Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 100B SMC6 ase- 900F FX-S C Ex tend er M odul e SC Figure 3-4. Installing a Module 6. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the retainer screws by hand to secure the module in the slot. 7. Connect power to the switch. Stacking A stack may have as many as four switches. Note: A stacking cable is included with the Stack Module. Caution: DO NOT stack TigerSwitch 100 units with other devices. Doing so may damage the switch.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 3. Repeat this step until all the devices have been connected. 4. Turn to the next section, “Connecting to a Power Source.” 24VF Figure 3-5.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: Note: It is recommended that the switches be stacked before being connected to a power source. However, a device can be added to the top or bottom of a stack that is on and operating without first powering down the stack. Be sure to stack the new device before connecting it to a power source. All switches in a stack must be powered on to allow traffic to pass across the stack’s backplane.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 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. The Mgmt LED on the unit with the Network Management Module installed will be lit. 4. If you have a purchased Redundant Power Unit, connect it to the device and to an AC power source now, following the instructions included with the package.
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 100 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It may be connected to 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to Fast Ethernet hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X modules. Note: Before connecting cables, you may want to first configure the Spanning Tree Protocol to avoid network loops.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS VF-45 Fiber Connections Each device requires a 62.5/125 micron or 50/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable with VF-45 connectors at both ends. 1. Remove and keep the VF-45 port’s plastic cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the cover should be replaced to protect the optics. 2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs using an appropriate VF-45 cleaning kit.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS SC Fiber Connections An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module may be used for backbone and long distance connections. A 1000BASE-X module may also 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 SC connector at both ends. If you need to connect to a device with 62.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. Figure 4-1. Making SC Port Connections 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.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 1000BASE-T Twisted-Pair Connections A 1000BASE-T connection requires a shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (STP or UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For all connections, Category 5 or 5e (recommended) cable is required with all four wire pairs connected. You should also test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page B-4.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Figure 4-2. Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2. If the device is a network card and the TigerSwitch 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 the port on the 1000BASE-T module. Make sure the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft.) in length.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Wiring Closet 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 port on the 1000BASE-T module, and the other end to the patch panel. 2.
