1 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The SMCGS10P-Smart is a Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 PoE switch with 8 10/100/ 1000BASE-T ports, and 2 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots, (see "Front Panel" on page 25, Ports 9-10). The SMCGS10P-Smart also provides PoE power to connected devices. The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides inband access for managing the switch.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview Figure 2: Rear Panel SWITCH ARCHITECTURE This 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.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Description of Hardware devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability. For each attached PoE-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using the wire pairs in UTP or STP cable.

2 NETWORK PLANNING INTRODUCTION TO SWITCHING A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via noncrossbar 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.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples APPLICATION EXAMPLES The switch 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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples POE CONNECTIONS The switch is an excellent choice for supplying power to connected PoE devices such as web cameras, IP telephones, or access points. The eight RJ-45 ports on the switch can provide up to 30 W of power to a connected device. The switch can supply 9.37 W simultaneously to eight PoE devices among the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 30 W simultanesously to two connected PoE devices. The total power cannot exceed the 75 W PoE power budget.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples NETWORK AGGREGATION PLAN With 10 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 10 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 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity for up to eight segments, while the 1000BASE-SFP ports are providing connectivity for two Gigabit segments.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning Application Examples 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, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 10 km, a 1000BASE-LH link up to 80 km, and a 100BASE-FX (SMF) link up to 20 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning 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.
CHAPTER 2 | Network Planning 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.

3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH This chapter describes how to install the switch. SELECTING A SITE ◆ The site should: ■ be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Ethernet Cabling 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.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch 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.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Mounting MOUNTING The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, wall mounted, or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Mounting To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 14: Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets being bent by the weight of the switch. Figure 15: Installing the Switch in a Rack 3.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Mounting 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other. WALL MOUNTING The switch can be wall mounted by using the brackets in the bracket mounting kit. Compared with the rack mount, the brackets must be rotated 90 degress when attached to the switch. 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the bracket mounting kit. The bracket ears should be flat on the same plane as the switch bottom panel. 2.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Mounting DESKTOP OR SHELF MOUNTING 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 17: 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” on page 48. 4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch 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 inlet located at the back of the switch. Figure 18: Power Inlet 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 wall socket type in your country. 3.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver INSTALLING AN OPTIONAL SFP TRANSCEIVER Figure 19: Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into a Slot This switch supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, and 100BASE-FX SFP-compatible transceivers. To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. 2.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver NOTE: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing the transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing the transceiver. NOTE: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES This switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers. TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Twisted-Pair Devices The switch controls the power and data on a port independently. Power can be requested from a device that already has a data link to the switch. Also, the switch can supply power to a device even if the port’s data connection has been disabled. The power on a port is continuously monitored by the switch and it will be turned off as soon as a device connection is removed.
CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Twisted-Pair Devices 2. If the device is a network 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 the section “"Network Wiring Connections" on page 51.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. 3.

CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices FIBER OPTIC SFP DEVICES An optional SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/ 125 or 62.
CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices Figure 21: Making Fiber Port Connections 4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate at 100 Mbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable depend on the fiber type as listed under "1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 55.
CHAPTER 4 | Making Network Connections Connectivity Rules 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.
