Chapter 1

Introduction

Chapter 1:

Introduction

The 5-port and 8-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Smart Switches with PD and AC Power allow you to upgrade your existing 10/100 network by replacing your current workgroup hub or switch. At the same time, you can configure advanced features for security, QoS, and Spanning Tree using its web-based utility.

The Linksys Gigabit Smart Switches not only allow you to upgrade to Gigabit speeds, but also allow you to expand your network securely. The Gigabit Smart Switches with PD have virtual LAN (VLAN) capabilities to restrict the flow of multicast and broadcast traffic. Stations within a given VLAN can freely communicate using either unicast or multicast addressing. Communication between different VLANs is not possible.

Extensive QoS features make the solution ideal for real time applications like Voice and Video. The 4 priority queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual users or applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p), and layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent broadcast and multicast storm controls minimize and contain the effects of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding all users. Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.

There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning Tree (STP) allow you to build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the system.

Product Overview

Front Panel

The LEDs are located on the front panel of the Switch.

Front Panel - SLM2008

System  (Green)  Lights up green to indicate that power is being supplied to the Switch.

1-5 or 1-8  (Green) Each LED will light up when there is a connection made through its corresponding port. It will flash when there is activity on its corresponding port.

Back Panel

The Ethernet ports are located on the back panel of the Switch.

Back Panel - SLM2008

Ethernet 1  The Switch’s first RJ-45 port supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD standard that enables DC power to be supplied to the Switch using wires in the connecting twisted pair cable. Any 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet device attached to the port can directly supply power to the Switch over the twisted-pair cable without requiring its own separate power source.

To connect a device to a port, you will need to use Category 5e (or better) network cable.

Ethernet 1-5 or 1-8  These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps and can operate in half and full duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.

Product Overview

Side Panels

The Reset button and Power port are located on the right side panel of the Switch.

Typical Network Configuration

When you connect your network devices, make sure you don’t exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

Installation

Pre-Installation Considerations

Full-Duplex Considerations

The Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45 ports. Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data throughput. If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable is 328 feet (100 meters).

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 Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Positioning the Switch

Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:

Make sure that the Switch is accessible and that the cables can be connected easily.

Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources.

To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches (50mm).

Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four units high.

Port > Static Link Aggregation

You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate link (LAG). An aggregated link offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two devices. You can create up to two LAGs on the Switch. Each LAG can contain up to five/eight ports.

Port > Link Aggregation

LAG  Displays the LAG number. By selecting the Port numbers, the port can be added to the LAG group.

Click Save Settings to save any changes.

Port > LACP Settings

Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link between the Switch and another network device. For dynamic LAGs, the switches have to comply with LACP. This Switch supports up to two LAGs. For example, a LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex.

To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.

NOTE: LAG port members will have to be configured with the same speed and duplex mode. A user must ensure the LAG member’s ports have the same speed and duplex settings before activating an LACP group.
