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 10/100/1000 is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Network Aggregation Plan With 24/48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24/48 distinct collision domains), the Gigabit Ethernet Switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the Gigabit Ethernet Switch are providing 1 Gbps connectivity for up to 24/48 segments through stackable switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at 1 Gbps.
NETWORK PLANNING Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, and a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link can run up to 5 km. This allows the Gigabit Ethernet Switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES 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.
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. 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 10/100/1000 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 installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T 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, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or better for 1000BASE-T.
EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST Equipment Checklist After unpacking the TigerSwitch 10/100/1000, 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 10/100/1000 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: 3-4 ◆ 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.
MOUNTING To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. RPU Tig erS wit ch 10 /10 0/1 86 000 48 T Figure 3-2. Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). RPU Tig erS wit ch 10 /10 0/1 86 000 48 T Figure 3-3.
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. Tig erS wi tch 10 /10 0/1 86 000 48 T RPU Figure 3-4. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2.
MOUNTING Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into the Switch RPU Tig erS wit ch 10/1 00/1 0 864 00 8T Figure 3-5. Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. 2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation. 3.
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.
CONNECTING TO THE CONSOLE PORT Connecting to the Console Port 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 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. 1 6 5 9 Figure 3-7. Serial Port (DB-9 DTE) Pin-Out Table 3-1.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 3-10
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP transceivers. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 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. 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.
TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES 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 an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel. 2.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-LH) can 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 LC connector at both ends. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
FIBER OPTIC SFP DEVICES 3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. RPU Tig erS wit ch 10/1 00/1 0 864 0 0 8T Figure 4-3. Making LC Port Connections 4. As a connection is made, check the green Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. 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.
CONNECTIVITY RULES Table 4-3. Maximum 1000BASE-LX Fiber Optic Cable Distance Fiber Diameter Fiber Bandwidth Cable Length Range Connector 9/125 micron single-mode fiber N/A 2 m - 5 km (7 ft - 3.2 miles) LC Table 4-4. Maximum 1000BASE-ZX Fiber Optic Cable Distance Fiber Diameter Fiber Bandwidth Cable Length Range Connector 9/125 micron single-mode fiber N/A 70* - 100 km (43.5 - 62.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption. To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines: 4-8 ◆ Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Diag LED is On Amber Link LED is Off Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. • Contact your dealer for assistance. • Contact SMC Technical Support. • Try power cycling the switch to clear the condition. • Contact your dealer for assistance. • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
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.
APPENDIX B CABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: 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 green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
CABLES 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS 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.
CABLES Crossover Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (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 Table B-2.
CABLES Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and correct the problem: 1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or Category 6 cables. 2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link. 3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
