Switch Architecture

The Fast Ethernet Switch employs a wire-speed, non-block ing switch ing fabri c. Th is permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

Network Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage the swit ch, you can make a di rect conne ction to t he RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you c an manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet , the on-board Web agent, or Windows-based network management software.

For a detailed description of the swit ch’ s a dvanced feat ures, refer to th e User Guide.

Description of Hardware

Figure 1-1. Front Panel

10/100/1000BASE-T Ports

There are two types of RJ-45 ports, Ethernet ports that operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, half or full duplex, and Fiber ports that operate at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.

Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network co nnections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page B-30)

Each of these ports support auto-negotiat ion, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

Description of Hardware

1-7

Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

On the LS-OS-6224U, there are two RJ-45 ports, which are shared with two of the SFP transceiver slots.

SFP Slots

On all devices except the LS-OS-6224U, the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with two of the RJ-45 ports (Ports 25~26/49~50). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its po rt, the associated RJ-45 port i s disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be c onfigured to f orce the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, consideri ng safety, please make sure that

it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.

Hinweis:Hinweis:Bei der Wahl eines Glasfasertransceivers muß für die Beurteilung der

Gesamtsicherheit beachtet werden, das die maximale Umgebungstemperatur des Transceivers für den Betrieb nicht niedriger ist als die für dieses Produkts. Der Glasfasertransceiver muß auch ein überprüftes Gerät der Laser Klasse 1 sein.

Chapter 3: Making Network Connections

Connecting Network Devices

This switch 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. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1 000BASE-T connections, Category 5 for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T connections.

Cabling Guidelines

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the

switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

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 3-1. Making Twisted-Pair Connections

3-22

Making Network 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 modul ar wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next p age.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

3. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.

Note: 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.

4. As each connection is made, the green Link LED (on the switch) co rresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid.

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 p atch panel . Instructions for making connec tions in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.

1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an a vailable port on the s witch, and the ot her end to the patch panel.

2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.

3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.

Figure 3-2. Network Wiring Connections

3-23

Fiber Optic SFP Devices

An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, or 1000BASE-L X) 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 bot h ends.

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 mic ron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.

Caution: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are

compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.

1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replac ed to protect the optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cot ton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

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.

Figure 3-3. Making LC Port Connect ions

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.

The 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX fiber optic port s operate at 1 Gbps full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 3-24.

3-24

Making Network Connections

Connectivity Rules

When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. Ho wever , not e 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.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providin g that a ll four wi re p air s are con nected. Howev er, it is recommended that for all critical connecti ons, 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.

Making Network Connections

Cable Labeling and Connection Records

When planning a network installati on, 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:

• Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

• Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected.

• Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports.

• For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable labeling.

• Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.

• Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

• Label each separate piece of equipment.

• Display a copy of your equip ment map, includin g keys to all abbrevi ations at each equipment rack.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

Diagnosing Switch Indicators

Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugge d 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 shut down. If you still cannot isol ate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.

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.

In-Band Access

You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address,

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.

Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific

orientation. (See “Cabling Guidelines” on page 3-21 for an explanation.)

The figure below illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the sa me orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.

Figure B-1. RJ-45 Connector Pin Numbers

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, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mb ps connections or 100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure

that the length of any

twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,

you can use straight-through cables for all net work connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In st raight-through ca ble, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one en d of the cable, are connected straight thro ugh to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

Fiber Standards

tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”

Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between switches and end devices.

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.

Fiber Standards

The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A specification on optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type for horizontal subsystem and two cable types for backbone subsystems.

Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet). Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single mode.

TIA 568-B will allow the use of 50/125 micron multimode optical fiber in both the horizontal and backbone in addition to the types listed above. All optical fiber components and installation practices must meet applicable building and safety codes.
