INTRODUCINGTHE BASELINE SWITCH
This chapter provides an overview of the features and
capabilities of the 3Com
It also identifies the contents of the Switch package
and helps you get to know the physical features of
the device.
®
Baseline Switch 2226 Plus.
Overview of the Baseline Switch 2226 Plus
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226 Plus is a versatile,
easy-to-use configurable Switch. It is ideal for users
who want the high-speed performance of 10/100
switching with the added functionality of Gigabit
links, but do not need sophisticated management
capabilities.
The Switch is shipped ready for use. No configuration
is necessary, unless you want to configure advanced
features such as VLAN support, link aggregation, and
traffic prioritization.
Features and Capabilities
The Switch has 24 shielded RJ-45, 10/100 Mbps autonegotiating ports and two dual purpose
10/100/1000BASE-T ports that operate in conjunction
with two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) trans
ceiver slots on the front panel for easy, flexible connection to fiber-based Gigabit media.
While there are four physical Gigabit ports, only a
maximum of two can be operational at any given
time.
Autosensing of MDI/MDIX Connections
All ports on the Switch can autosense both medium
dependent interface (MDI) and medium dependent
interface crossover (MDIX) connections. This allows
you to connect network devices to each port using
either a normal straight-through TP (twisted pair)
cable or a ‘crossover’ TP cable.
Any port can therefore be used to connect to another
switch port, server, or workstation without additional
configuration.
Autonegotiating 10/100 Mbps Ports
Each 10/100 Mbps port automatically determines the
speed and duplex mode of the connected equipment
and provides a suitable switched connection. The
1000BASE-T ports also support automatic
10/100/1000 Mbps speed detection.
10/100 Mbps connections on these 1000BASE-T
-
ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex
mode. 1000 Mbps connections, on the other hand,
only operate in full duplex mode.
8CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCINGTHE BASELINE SWITCH
SFP Ports
The two SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet
short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers
in any combination. This offers you the flexibility of
using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity
between the Switch and a 1000 Mbps core network.
When an SFP port is in operation, the corresponding
10/100/1000BASE-T port is disabled.
Traffic Prioritization
The Switch supports two types of traffic prioritization:
■ Prioritization of IP phone traffic
■ Priority Queuing
Prioritization of IP Phone Traffic
The Switch can recognize when an NBX phone is connected to any of the ports 1 to 24. The Switch will
automatically detect the NBX phone when the phone
starts up, and will ensure that traffic to and from the
phone is given the highest priority.
To ensure that the NBX phone is recognized by the
Switch during its initialization, do not connect any
data source through the phone until the phone has
finished its startup sequence.
Once the phone is available for use, any data source
(for example, a computer) can then be connected to
the phone’s pass-through port. This only applies if
you use a single wall jack for your network connec
tion and use the pass-through LAN port on the NBX
phone.
Traffic Priority Queuing
The Switch also offers priority queuing. It examines
each packet that it receives to determine if it is prior
ity-encoded. If a packet is priority-encoded, the
Switch reads the priority level and determines
whether the packet should be directed through the
normal or high priority channel. This feature is useful,
for example, during periods of excessive network
load, when one type of traffic may require priority
over another. The Switch is configured to comply
with 802.1p, VLAN tagged frames.
Traffic prioritization ensures that high priority data is
forwarded through the Switch without being delayed
by lower priority data. It differentiates traffic into
classes and prioritizes those classes automatically.
Traffic prioritization uses multiple traffic queues that
are present in the hardware of the Switch to ensure
that high priority traffic is forwarded on a different
queue from lower priority traffic, and is given prefer
ence over that traffic. This ensures that time-sensitive
traffic gets the highest level of service.
The 802.1D standard specifies eight distinct levels of
priority (0 to 7), each of which relates to a particular
type of traffic. The priority levels and their traffic types
are shown in

The Switch has 24 10/100 Mbps autonegotiating
ports. Each port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
detection and can be connected to either a
10BASE-T, or a 100BASE-TX device.
Ports 1 to 24 are autonegotiating — their speed and
duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) are automat
ically determined by the capabilities of the connected
device.
CAUTION: The Switch supports full-duplex autone-
-
gotiation. If the connected device does not support
autonegotiation, the Switch will operate in
half-duplex mode (even if the attached device is oper
-
ating in full-duplex mode).
In such a configuration, you may notice some degradation of network performance. 3Com recommends
that you use devices that are capable of autonegotia
tion (and that you ensure that autonegotiation is
enabled, if it is a configurable option). (see
“Trouble-
shooting” on page 43).

(4) 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP Ports
Ports 25 and 26 are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports
with shared Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) trans
ceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and is active, the associated
RJ-45 port of the same number is disabled.
The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through or crossover cables for all network
connections to workstations or servers, or to other
switches or hubs.
The two SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet
short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers
in any combination. This offers you the flexibility of
using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity
between the Switch and remote 1000 Mbps work
groups or to create a high-capacity aggregated link
backbone connection.
SFP ports are numbered 25 and 26 on the Switch.
When an SFP port is active, it has priority over the
10/100/1000 port of the same number. The corre
sponding 10/100/1000 port is disabled when an SFP
transceiver is plugged in.

Positioning the Switch
The Switch is suitable for use in an office environment
where it can be free-standing or mounted in a stan
dard 19-inch equipment rack.
Alternatively, the Switch can be rack-mounted in a
wiring closet or equipment room. A mounting kit,
containing two mounting brackets and four screws, is
supplied with the Switch.
When deciding where to position the Switch, ensure
-
that:
-
14CHAPTER 2: INSTALLINGTHE SWITCH
■ It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
■ Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise.
These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air
conditioning units. Electromagnetic fields can
interfere with the signals on copper cabling and
introduce errors, therefore slowing down your net
work.
■ Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the
unit.
■ Airflow around the unit and through the vents in
the side of the case is not restricted (3Com recom
mends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1
in. clearance).
■ The air is as free of dust as possible.
■ Temperature operating limits are not likely to be
exceeded. It is recommended that the unit be
installed in a clean, air-conditioned environment.
It is always good practice to wear an anti-static wrist
strap when installing network equipment, connected
to a ground point. If one is not available, try to keep
in contact with a grounded rack and avoid touching
the unit's ports and connectors, if possible. Static dis
charge can cause reliability problems in your equipment.

Placing Units On Top of Each Other
If the Switch units are free-standing, up to fourunits
can be placed one on top of the other. If you are
mixing a variety of Baseline and SuperStack units, the
smaller units must be positioned at the top.
If you are placing Switch units one on top of the
other, you must use the self-adhesive rubber pads
supplied. Apply the pads to the underside of each
Switch, sticking one in the marked area at each cor
ner. Place the Switch units on top of each other,
ensuring that the pads of the upper unit line up with
the recesses of the lower unit.
Supplying Power to the Switch
Power problems can be the cause of serious failures
and downtime in your network. Ensure that the
power input to your system is clean and free from
sags and surges to avoid unforeseen network out
ages. 3Com recommends that you install power conditioning, especially in areas prone to black outs,
power dips and electrical storms.
The unit is intended to be grounded. Ensure it is connected to earth ground during normal use. Installing
proper grounding helps to avoid damage from light
ning and power surges.
Before powering on the Switch, verify that network
cables and the power cable are securely connected.
CAUTION: The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the
only method of connecting or disconnecting main
power is by connecting or disconnecting the power
cord.
To power on the Switch:
1 Plug the power cord into the power socket on the
rear panel of the Switch. Refer to
“(8) Power Supply”
onpage 12for more information.
2 Plug the other end of the power cord into a power

Checking for Correct Operation
After you power on the Switch, it automatically performs a power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the
Power LED on the front panel of the Switch flashes
green.
When POST is complete, the Power LED turns green.
If the Power LED turns yellow after POST, it means
that POST failed and the Switch has entered fail-safe
mode.
Ta bl e 4 summarizes the possible colors for the Power
LED after POST.

The Switch is in fail-safe mode. This can
happen if a ports or ports fail when the
Switch is powered on.
■ Verify that the power cord is connected
correctly, and then try powering on the
Switch again
■ If the Switch still does not operate, con-
tact your 3Com network supplier
CAUTION: Resetting the Switch to its factory defaults
erases all your settings. You will need to reconfigure
the Switch after you reset it.
If these do not resolve the issue:
■ Check the 3Com Knowledgebase for a solution. To
visit the 3Com Knowledgebase Web site, start your
Web browser, and then enter
http://knowledgebase.3com.com.
■ Contact your 3Com network supplier for assis-
tance.
Connecting a Network Device
To connect a network device to the Switch, use Category 5 unshielded or shielded (screened) 100 Ohm TP
cables (or Category 3 cables for 10 Mbps connec
tions).
For optimal connections, ensure that the cable length
for each connection is not longer than 100 m (328 ft).
-
If POST fails, try the following:
■ Power off the Switch, and then power it on again.
Check the Power LED and see if POST was success
fully completed.
■ Reset the Switch. See “Resetting to Factory
Defaults” on page 43.

2 Connect the other end to the appropriate RJ-45 port
on the connecting device.
For 1000BASE-T operation, 3Com recommends using
Category 5e or 6 cables.
Using SFP Transceivers
The following sections describe how to insert and
remove an SFP transceiver from an SFP slot.
Approved SFP Transceivers
The following list of approved SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
■ 3CSFP91 SFP (SX)
■ 3CSFP92 SFP (LX)
To access the latest list of approved SFP transceivers
for the Switch on the 3Com Corporation World Wide
Web site, enter this URL into your Internet browser:
http://www.3com.com
3Com recommends using 3Com SFPs on the Switch.
If you insert an SFP transceiver that is not supported,
the Switch will not recognize it.
Inserting an SFP Transceiver
To be recognized as valid, the SFP transceiver must be
one of the following:
■ 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver – Use this transceiver
to connect the Switch directly to a multimedia
fiber-optic cable.
■ 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver – Use this transceiver
to connect the Switch directly to a single-mode
fiber-optic cable or to multimode fiber using a con
ditioned launch cable.
If the SFP transceiver is faulty, it will not operate
within the Switch. See
page 43.
-
“Troubleshooting” on
SFP transceivers are hot-insertable and hot-swappable. You can remove them from and insert them into
any SFP port without having to power off the Switch.
To insert an SFP transceiver:
1 Hold the transceiver so that the fiber connector is
toward you and the product label is visible, as shown
Performing Spot Checks19
in Figure 4. Ensure the wire release lever is closed (in
the upright position).

2 Gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it
clicks into place.
CAUTION: SFP transceivers are keyed and can be
properly inserted only one way. If the transceiver does
not click when you insert it, remove it, turn it over,
and then re-insert it.
3 Remove the plastic protective cover, if fitted.
4 Connect the fiber cable.
5 The transceiver connects to the network using a
duplex LC connector. Attach a male duplex LC con
nector on the network cable into the duplex LC connector on the transceiver.
6 Connect the other end of the cable to a device fitted
with an appropriate Gigabit Ethernet connection.
7 Check the Module Active LEDs on the front of the
Switch to ensure that it is operating correctly.
Removing an SFP Transceiver
Removing an SFP transceiver does not require powering off the Switch.
To remove an SFP transceiver:
1 Disconnect the cable from the transceiver.
2 Move the wire release lever downwards until it is
pointing toward you.
3 Pull the wire release lever toward you to release the
catch mechanism.
The SFP transceiver should slide out easily.
Performing Spot Checks
At frequent intervals, you should visually check the
Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning
of a possible failure; any problems can then be
attended to when there will be least effect on users.
3Com recommends periodically checking the items

Accessing the Interface Without Using
Discovery
The Discovery application works by automatically
detecting the IP address that is assigned to the
Switch, and then using that address to connect to the
Web interface. If you know the Switch’s IP address,
you can access the Web interface without using Dis
covery.
This section describes how to access the interface
directly, without using Discovery.
If you do not configure the Switch’s IP address settings, it will perform auto IP configuration to assign
an IP address to itself. For more information, refer to
“Automatic IP Configuration” on page 29.
To determine the IP address that the Switch will
assign to itself during auto IP configuration, check the
sticker on the base of the Switch. This sticker contains
the MAC address and default IP address of the
Switch.
DHCP Assigned IP Address
If you set the IP address mode to DHCP, check the
DHCP server for the IP address that is assigned to the
Switch, and then use that IP address to access the
Web interface.
-
-
For example, if the DHCP server assigned the IP
address 192.168.0.123 to the Switch, start your Web
browser, and then type
http://192.168.0.123.
Manually Assigned (Static) IP Address
If you assigned a static IP address to the Switch, you
need to use that IP address to access the Web inter
face the next time you want to configure the Switch.
For example, if you assigned the Switch the IP address
192.168.0.123, start your Web browser, and then
type
http://192.168.0.123.

If you forget the administration password after you
set it, refer to
“Forgotten Password” on page 44 for
information on how to regain access to the Web
interface.
Modifying the IP Address Settings
To enable devices on the network to communicate
with the Switch, you need to assign an IP address to it
— either by DHCP or by manually assigning a static IP
address.
Automatic IP Configuration
When you power on the Switch for the first time, it
automatically uses the default IP address
169.254.x.y, where x and y are the last two bytes of
its MAC address.
To determine the exact IP address that the Switch
assigns to itself during auto IP configuration, check
the sticker on the base of the Switch. This sticker con
tains the MAC address and default IP address of the
Switch.
To detect its IP information using the automatic configuration process, the Switch goes through the following sequence of steps:
1 The Switch tries to configure itself with the default IP
address
169.254.x.y, where x and y are converted
from the last two bytes of its MAC address.
For example, if the MAC address were 08004E000102,
the IP address would be
169.254.1.2. This address is
used if the Switch is operating in a standalone mode,
or no other switches on the network have this IP
address.
The Switch also assigns the subnet mask 255.255.0.0
(default class B mask) to itself.
-
By default, the Switch performs automatic IP configuration and assigns an IP address to itself. This is necessary for the Discovery application to be able to
connect to the Web interface.
2 If this default IP address is already in use on the net-
work, then the Switch detects this, and increments
the last byte of the MAC address by one to generate
its IP address.
The IP address would therefore become 169.254.1.3.
3 The Switch repeats step 2 until an unused IP address
is found.
30CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURINGTHE SWITCH
3Com recommends using automatic IP configuration
only for the initial setup. Once you gain access to the
console, you should assign an IP address to the Switch
(either by using DHCP or assigning a static IP address)
to ensure successful communication between the
Switch and other network devices.
Setting the IP Address
To set the IP address for the Switch:
1 Click IP Settings on the menu. The IP Settings screen
appears.

Speed/Duplex for 1000 Mbps Connections
You cannot preset the speed to 1000Mbps.To run a
port at 1000Mbps, you must enable autonegotiation
for the port. When autonegotiation is enabled, the
Switch will automatically connect at 1000Mbps, pro
viding the connected device also supports this speed.
1000Mbps connections are always full-duplex.
Half-duplex connections are only available for
10Mbps and 100Mbps settings.
-
CAUTION: Before manually setting a port to
full-duplex, verify that the device connected to the
port is also manually set to the same speed and
duplex setting. If connecting link partners are left to
autonegotiate for a link manually set on this switch to
full-duplex, they will always negotiate to half-duplex,
resulting in a duplex mismatch. This can result in a
significant reduction in network performance. If you
are unsure of how to configure the speed/duplex set
-
ting, simply enable autonegotiation for the port.
You cannot modify the speed/duplex settings of ports
that are members of a trunk or aggregated link.
-
Supported SFP transceivers only operate at 1000Mbps
full-duplex. Inserting an SFP transceiver into a gigabit
port disables the corresponding RJ-45 port, even if no
fiber cable is inserted.
Configuring VLANs
You can use the Switch to create VLANs to organize
any group of ports into separate broadcast domains.
VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating
group and help eliminate broadcast storms in large
networks. This also provides for a more secure and
cleaner network environment.
-
You can create up to 64 VLANs, add specific ports to
a chosen VLAN (so that the port can only communi
cate with other ports on the VLAN), or configure a
port make it a member of all VLANs.
34CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURINGTHE SWITCH
Communication between different VLANs can only
take place if they are all connected to a router or layer
3 switch.
Creating a VLAN
Use the VLANs page to create VLANs on the Switch.
To propagate information about VLAN groups used
on this Switch to external devices, you must specify a
VLAN ID for each VLAN.
Figure 14 VLANs Screen
Ports belonging to a VLAN must be set to either U
(uplink) or D (desktop). Desktop VLAN ports can only
be members of one VLAN at any time. Setting a port
as an uplink (tagged) VLAN port forwards all VLAN
traffic from the other ports on the Switch to this port.
Use the uplink port function to connect the Switch to
the backbone of the network. Traffic from all the
VLANs on the switch is automatically forwarded to
the uplink port or ports.
By default, all ports belong to VLAN 1.
CAUTION: At least one port must always be a
member of VLAN 1 (the management VLAN). If you
choose to connect all ports to VLANs other than
VLAN 1, you will no longer be able to access the Web
interface. If this happens, you will need to reset the
Switch to factory settings.
To create a VLAN:
1 On the menu, click VLANs. The VLANs screen
appears.
2 In VLAN ID, click Create New VLAN.
3 In VLAN ID (1-4904), type an unused ID number for
the VLAN that you are creating. VLAN IDs range from
1 to 4904.
Figure 15 Create VLANs Screen
4 Define the VLAN membership by setting the state of
each port. To change states, click the icon under the
port number repeatedly to cycle through the different
states. Available states include:
■ N – Not a member
■ U – Uplink egress packets
■ D – Desktop egress packets
5 Click Apply to create the VLAN.
Configuring VLANs35
For examples on setting up VLANs, refer to “Sample
VLAN Configurations”.
Sample VLAN Configurations
To illustrate how you can segment network devices
that are connected to the Switch, the following
sample configurations are provided.
Setting Up Two VLANs on the Same Switch
Figure 16 illustrates how you can set up a simple
VLAN on the Switch using desktop connections.
Figure 16 Desktop VLAN Configuration
Endstations

VLAN1 and the ports on VLAN2 cannot communicate
with each other, do the following:
1 Create a new VLAN and set the VLAN ID to 2. Refer
to
“Creating a VLAN” for instructions. VLAN1 is the
default VLAN and already exists.
2 Set ports 7, 8, and 16 to D (desktop egress packet).
3 Click Apply.
Ports 7, 8, and 16 now belong to VLAN2, and will not
be able communicate with any other ports, unless
you add another port to the VLAN or change the port
configuration.
Setting Up VLAN Across Two Switches
This example explains how you can set up a VLAN
across two Switches using uplink connections. This
enables ports that are members of the same VLAN
(but are on different switches) to communicate, pro
vided that a port on each Switch is set to uplink, and
that these ports are connected.

1 Create VLAN2 on both Switch 1 and Switch 2, and
assign the same name to it. You need not create
VLAN1 since it exists by default.
2 On Switch 1, set the ports that you want to be part of
VLAN2 to D (desktop egress packet). Set one port (for
example, port 16) to U (uplink egress packet).
Click Apply.
3 On Switch 2, set the ports that you want to be part of
VLAN2 to D (desktop egress packet). Set one port (for
example, port 8) to U (uplink egress packet).
Click Apply.
4 Connect the uplink port on Switch 1 (in this example,
port 16) to the uplink port on Switch 2 (in this exam
ple, port 8).
Those ports on Switch 1 that are members of VLAN2
can now communicate with those ports on Switch 2
that are members of VLAN2.
Removing a VLAN
To remove an existing VLAN:
1 In the VLAN ID list, select the VLAN ID that you want
to delete.
2 Click Remove.
The VLANs page refreshes, and the VLAN ID that you
deleted disappears from the VLAN ID list.
Configuring Link Aggregation
Link aggregation, also called “port trunking”, refers
to bonding multiple ports into a single group to effec
tively combine the bandwidth into a single connection or a “trunk”. If you are connecting the Switch to
another switch or to an Internet backbone, you can
aggregate links on the Switch to increase throughput
and prevent packet loopback between switches.
For link aggregation to work, the trunks must be configured on both ends (switches).

Configuring Link Aggregation37
The Switch does not support the Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP), which is specified in IEEE
802.3ad.
Trunk Membership
The Switch has four pre-defined trunks, each of
which can support up to eight ports.

AL1Ports 1-4, 13-16
AL2Ports 5-8, 17-20
AL3Ports 9-12, 21-24
AL4Ports 25 and 26 (RJ-45 ports only)
These four port groups correspond to the four separate physical connector blocks on the front panel of
the Switch. You cannot trunk ports that belong to dif
ferent port groups.
A trunk can consist of either 10/100 ports or
10/100/1000 ports (fixed ports 25 and 26). It is not
possible to have a trunk containing a mixture of
10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports. Adding port 25 or 26
to a trunk containing 10/100 ports will result in an
error.
A trunk created using ports 25 and 26 can only use
the fixed RJ45 10/100/1000 ports. SFP ports cannot
be aggregated.
Ta bl e 11 lists the
If a port is a member of an aggregated link (or trunk),
you will not be able to configure its individual port
settings. All member ports of an aggregated link will
have the same settings, and you can configure these
by clicking the AL link on the Port Configuration
screen. See
“Configuring Trunk Settings” on
page 38.

Figures on the Statistics screen for individual ports are
not updated in real time. To view the latest statistics
for the port, click Refresh.
Monitoring Traffic
The Switch allows you to monitor traffic going in and
out of a particular port. For traffic monitoring to
work, you need to attach a network analyzer to one
port and use it to monitor the traffic of other ports in
the stack.
To set up traffic monitoring, you need to set an analysis port (the port that is connected to the analyzer),
and a monitor port (the port that is to be monitored).
Once the pair is defined, and you enable traffic moni
toring, the Switch takes all the traffic going in and
out of the monitor port and copies it to the analysis
port.
CAUTION: The analysis port (Mirror From) should
have a higher bandwidth than the monitor port (Mir
ror From). Otherwise, the Switch may not be able to
copy all traffic effectively during periods of high traf
-
fic.
To set up traffic monitoring for a port:
1 Attach a network analyzer to a port.
2 Access the Web interface, and then click Traffic Mon-
itoring on the menu.
3 On the Port Mirroring screen, select the Enable check
box.
Figure 22 Traffic Monitoring Screen

to monitor.
Only one port can be selected from the Mirror Form
row, which means that you can only monitor one port
at any given time.

not connect any data source to the phone until the
-
phone has finished booting up.
Once the phone is available for use, any data source
(for example, a computer) can then be connected to
the phone's pass-through port. This only applies if
you use a single wall jack for your network connec
tion and use the pass-through LAN port on the IP
phone.

TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter lists some issues that you may encounter
while installing, using, and managing the Switch,
with suggested courses of corrective action to take.
If you encounter an issue that is not listed here and
you cannot solve it, check the 3Com Knowledgebase
at
http://knowledgebase.3com.com before contacting
your local technical support representative.
For more information on how to obtain support for
your Switch, refer to
Appendix A.
Resetting to Factory Defaults
If the Switch does not operate normally or if the firmware becomes corrupted, you can reset the Switch to
its factory defaults.

Forgotten Password
If you forget the password to the Web interface after
you set it, you will need to reset the Switch to regain
access. See
“Resetting to Factory Defaults” on
page 43 for instructions. After resetting the Switch,
you can log on to the Web interface again using the
default admin account settings:
■ User name – admin
■ Password – blank (no password)
Forgotten Static IP Address
If you forget the static IP address that you assigned to
the Switch and you need to access the Web interface,
use the Discovery application to automatically detect
the IP address and connect to the interface.
For information on using the Discovery application,
refer to
“Running the Discovery Application” on
page 21.
Solving LED Issues
This section lists some issues that are related to the
LEDs on the front panel of the Switch. For informa
tion on basic LED checks, refer to the following topics
in
Chapter 1:
■ (2) Module Active LEDs
■ (3) Link/Activity LEDs
■ (5) Power LED
■ (6) Duplex LEDs
A link is connected, but the Link/Activity LED for
the port is off.
There is a problem with this connection. Verify that:
■ The device being connected to is powered on and
operating correctly.
■ The cable is connected at both ends.
■ The cable is not damaged.
■ If the connection is to a workstation, that the
workstation's network interface is installed and
configured correctly.
■ The correct category of cable is being used for the
required link speed. Category 3 cables can be used
for 10BASE-T operation only. Category 5 cable is
required for 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T. 3Com
recommends Category 5e or 6 cables for
1000BASE-T operation.
A fiber cable is connected, but the Module
Active LED is off.
Verify that:
■ The fiber cable is in good condition.
■ The SFP module is correctly inserted.
-
■ A 3Com SFP module is being used. Refer to
“Approved SFP Transceivers” on page 18 for
details.
■ The equipment at the far end is installed and cor-
rectly configured.
The Link/Activity LED is on, but network performance is poor .
Solving Corrupted Firmware45
The Switch supports full-duplex autonegotiation. If
the connected device does not support autonegotia
tion, ensure that it is configured for half-duplex operation only. If the connected device has
autonegotiation disabled or overridden, and is config
ured as full-duplex, the Switch will configure the link
as half-duplex, causing a mismatch that will reduce
network performance when data is transmitting and
receiving simultaneously on the same link.
Ensure that the connected device has either:
■ Autonegotiation enabled, or
■ The ports are configured for half-duplex operation
All ports appear to show continual activity.
There may be broadcast storms on the network.
Remove port connections one at a time, waiting a
few seconds between each port. If the LEDs go off
after removing a port connection, the device that was
connected to that port is introducing an excessive
amount of broadcast frames to the network. Some
pieces of network equipment operate by sending out
broadcast frames regularly.
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the
device for information on disabling the broadcast
operation.
Solving Corrupted Firmware
If the firmware becomes corrupted, you must either:
■ Upgrade the firmware for the Switch
When the firmware is corrupted, the Switch automat-
-
ically goes into Fail-Safe mode.
To upgrade a corrupted firmware:
-
1 Download the latest firmware from the 3Com Web
site to the computer that you are using to access the
Web interface.
2 Access the Web interface. The Fail-Safe Mode screen
appears, as shown in
3 Click Browse, and then follow the onscreen instruc-
Figure 24.
tions to upgrade the Switch to the required version of
firmware.
To reset the Switch to its factory defaults, follow the
instructions in
“Resetting to Factory Defaults” on
page 43.
CAUTION: Before recovering the Switch, save the
Switch’s current configuration. Recovering the Switch
will cause the current configuration to be lost.
If the Problem Persists
If the problem persists and the unit still does not
operate successfully, contact your 3Com network
supplier with the following information before return
ing the unit:
■ Product number and serial number (printed on a
label supplied with the unit).

net.
TCP relates to the content of the data travelling
through a network — ensuring that the information
sent arrives in one piece when it reaches its destina
tion. IP relates to the address of the end station to
which data is being sent, as well as the address of the
destination network.
