ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 1-12
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 10/100 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 10/100 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Central Wiring Closet With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments. In addition, the switch is also connecting servers at 100 Mbps. Server Farm 10/100 Mbps Segments ... ... Figure 2-2.
NETWORK PLANNING Remote Connection with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 100 Mbps multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km, and a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 20 km. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, and a 1000BASE-ZX (SMF) link can run up to 100 km. This allows the Fast Ethernet Routing Switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Making VLAN Connections VLANs can be based on untagged 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 one specific group or to all 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 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 TigerSwitch 10/100 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.
CONNECTIVITY RULES Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the standard connectivity rules for Ethernet or Fast 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 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Collision Domain Maximum 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Cable Distance Type Cable Type Max. Cable Length 10BASE-T Twisted Pair, Category 3 or better 100 m (328 ft) 100BASE-TX Category 5 or better 100-ohm UTP or 100 m (328 ft) STP 2-8 100BASE-FX 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron core Multimode multimode fiber (MMF) 2 km (1.24 miles) 100BASE-FX 9/125 micron core single-mode fiber Single-Mode (SMF) 20 km (12.
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. 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 TigerSwitch 10/100 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 10/100, 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.
MOUNTING Mounting A TigerSwitch 10/100 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 optional slide-in 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, or 1000BASE-X (GBIC) media expansion modules, install these modules now, following the instructions "Installing an Optional Module into the Switch" on page 3-4.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 3-1. Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 3-2. 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 Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 3-3. 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 Optional Module into the Switch 100BAS E-FX Singlem ode Mod ule TX RX Figure 3-4. Installing an Optional Module Caution: DO NOT install slide-in modules with the switch powered on. Be sure you power off the switch before installing any module. To install an optional module into the switch, do the following: 1. Disconnect power to the switch. 2.
INSTALLING A GBIC TRANSCEIVER Installing a GBIC Transceiver 1000BASE -X GBIC Modu le Figure 3-5. Installing a GBIC Transceiver You can install a GBIC transceiver as described below: 1. Insert the transceiver with the SC connector facing out toward you. Note that the transceiver is keyed so that it can only be installed in one orientation. 2. Press in on the transceiver’s side tabs, and gently slide it into the GBIC interface slot until it clicks into place. Caution: GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 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.
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100 may be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to 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 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. The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, which means that they automatically detect the wiring in the link and configure as MDI or MDI-X accordingly.
TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES 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 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 an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel. 2.
FIBER OPTIC DEVICES Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module may be used for backbone or long-distance connections. The 1000BASE-X slide-in GBIC support module may be used in conjunction with a 1000BASE-SX, 100BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX GBIC transceiver for high-speed and long-distance connections from 550 meters to 100 kilometers. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends.
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. SC fiber connector Figure 4-3. 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.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action PWR LED is Off • Internal power supply has failed or is disconnected. • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. • Contact SMC Technical Support. • 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 or DC power adapter. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. Installation Verify that all system components have been properly installed.

TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments 8 1 8 1 Figure B-1. RJ-45 Connector Pin Numbers Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections or 100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
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. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. 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.
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 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.
