1 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The SMCGS1610 and SMCGS2410 are the first available unmanaged switches that can be transformed into a smart switch with the use of a single button. DHCP prevention combined with loopback detection and prevention, improves the network environment and reduces network maintenance costs. The switches also provide DoS attack protection, minimizing virus attacks and increasing network uptime.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview FEATURES SMART BUTTON The SMCGS1610 and SMCGS2410 are the first available switches that use a single button to give your unmanaged switch smart switch capability. Figure 1: Push to Smart Button DHCP PREVENTION DHCP Prevention protects your company’s network DHCP Server. When the Smart button is pressed in, it enables a DHCP port restriction feature. The DHCP Prevention feature restricts the DHCP server to the DHCP Port only (port 1).
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview LOOPBACK DETECTION AND PREVENTION When a loop occurs at a port, the switch will ■ Block the loop port, automatically protecting the switch. ■ Flash the port LED twice every second. ■ Turn the Loop LED on red. When the loop clears the port LED will cease flashing and the Loop LED will turn off.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview DOS ATTACK PROTECTION The switches can detect multiple DOS attack scenarios and initiate appropriate protection algorithms. DOS attack scenarios that can be protected against are: ■ DoS - Land Attack ■ DoS - IP Spoofing Attack ■ DoS - TCP SYN Attack ■ DoS - TCP NULL scan DoS Attack EEE SUPPORT The switches support green 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet to reduce power consumption and energy costs.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview ◆ LED indicators for displaying power, link, speed, activity and loop disabled. ◆ Desktop and rack-mountable steel case. ◆ Internal power supply.
2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the switch. The SMCGS1610 and SMCGS2410 only differ in the number of ports. All figures in this guide are of the SMCGS2401. FRONT PANEL The front panel of SMCGS2401 consists of switch LED indicators, 24 10/100/ 1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports, and a Smart button.
CHAPTER 2 | Hardware Description Front Panel Table 1: System and Port Status LEDs (Continued) LED Condition Status Loop On Red The switch has detected a loop condition and disabled the appropriate port. When the loop clears, the LED will turn off. Off The switch has not detected a loop condition or the current loop condition has cleared. On/Blinking Green Port has established a valid 100 Mbps connection. Blinking indicates activity.
CHAPTER 2 | Hardware Description Rear Panel port LED twice every second. The Loop LED will also turn on when a loop condition exists. When the loop condition has been cleared, the Loop LED will turn off and the port LED will stop flashing. ◆ IGMP Snooping V1/V2 - With IGMP snooping turned on, multicast traffic is filtered from ports that do not need the multicast packets, thus freeing up switch bandwidth. REAR PANEL The rear panel of the switch features a power socket.
3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Before installing the switch, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local SMC distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before installing the switch.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Precautions PRECAUTIONS To ensure a long-term and stable performance of the switch, pay attention to the following before installation. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ◆ Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power supply. Do not clean the switch using a wet cloth, and never use any other liquid for cleaning. ◆ Take waterproof measures during storage, transportation and operation of the equipment. ◆ Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation ◆ Position the switch away from water and moisture sources, be sure to provide an acceptable temperature and humidity operating environment. INSTALLATION This switch can be either installed in a standard 19-inch mountable rack or located on a desktop. CAUTION: Please unplug the power cord before installing or removing the switch. DESKTOP INSTALLATION To install the switch on the desktop, follow these steps: 1.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation Figure 6: Attaching Rubber Feet 4. Upturn the switch and set in the desired location, making sure there is enough ventilation space on all sides for proper air flow 5. Connect the switch to a power source with the provided power cord. See “Powering On” on page 23. CAUTION: Avoid placing anything heavy on the switch. RACK INSTALLATION To install the switch in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described below: 1.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation Figure 7: Attaching Brackets 2. Use suitable screws (not provided) to secure the brackets to the rack, as illustrated in the following figure. Figure 8: Mounting the Switch 3. Connect the switch to a power source with the provided power cord. See “Powering On” on page 23. HOW TO CONNECT TO AC POWER To supply AC power to the switch, first verify that the external AC power supply can provide 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation To connect the switch to a power source: 1. Plug the power cord into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source. Figure 9: AC Power Cord and Power Socket 2. Insert the plug on the other end of the power cord directly into the AC input socket on the back of the switch. NOTE: Your country’s AC power outlet standards may not match the power plug of the included AC power cord, you may need to change the AC power cord.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Connecting Network Devices 1. All of the LED indicators flash momentarily for one second, which represents a resetting of the system. 2. The Power LED indicator turns on green. CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES The switches are designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs.
A TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSING SWITCH INDICATORS THE POWER LED IS OFF ◆ Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the switch and power source properly. ◆ Make sure the power source is ON. THE LINK/ACT LED IS OFF WHEN A DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE CORRESPONDING PORT ◆ Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device. ◆ Make sure the connected device is turned on and working properly. ◆ The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet).
APPENDIX A | Troubleshooting Installation INSTALLATION Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
