Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an Asanté FriendlyNET FM2017 SNMP/Web managed switch. This switch is
designed to build high-performance switched networks. It uses store-and-forward technology, providing low
latency for high-speed networking, and is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing
environments at small to medium enterprise businesses.

The switch features full plug-and-play installation. LED indicators provide for easy monitoring of switch
operation. The switch has 16 auto-sensing 10/100 BaseTX Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports plus one extension
slot for an optional 1-port 100BaseFX fiber module, which makes it easy to connect to a remote site up to 2
Km (multi-mode) or 15-60 Km (single-mode) away. The following types of fiber connectors are available for
use with the FM2017: SC, SC single-mode, MT-RJ and VF-45.

The switch provides automatic MDI/MDIX crossover for each 10/100Mbps port. In general, MDI means
connecting to another hub or switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC.
means that you can connect to another switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover
cabling.

There is a CPU module on the rear panel of the switch. It provides the function of Web-Based
Management, for ease of managing and configuring the FM2017. From cabinet management to port-level
control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via your web browser. The
switch can also be managed via third-party SNMP Management.

Ethernet Switching Technology

Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network, eliminating
congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
protocol, and has greatly reduced unnecessary transmissions.

This revolutionized networking in the following ways: First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions
over the same port (Full-duplex mode), which essentially doubled the network bandwidth; Second, by
reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for carrier sensing; Third, by
using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or
redundant data, switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that slows the network; Finally, by
employing address learning, which replaced the inefficient receiving port.

Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability of both devices. Flow­control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a 10Mbps node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation
and flow-control may require disablement for some networking operations involving legacy equipment.
Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.

Ethernet switching technology has supplied higher performance at costs lower than other solutions. Wider
bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traffic is why switching is replacing expensive routers and
inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution. Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to
networking.

Management Methods

The FM2017 supports configuration and management via a Web-browser or via SNMP Management. For
more information on configuring and managing your switch, please see Chapters 4 and 5.

Console and Telnet Connection

Console Connection is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the switch in this method requires
a direct connection to a PC, while Telnet management is done over the network. Once the switch is on the
network, you can use Telnet to Log in and change the configuration.

Web-Based Management

The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers advanced management
features and allow users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Navigator. For more information, see Chapter 5. Web-Based
Management.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control network devices
and report activity in each network device to manage configurations, performance, and security. This switch
provides up to 4 IP addresses for the access of trap managers. You can submit community strings on get-
community, set-community and trap-community to authorize management access.

Chapter 3. Network Application

This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the switch can be used. In general, the
switch is designed to be used as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (8000 MAC address)
and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.

You can use the switch to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these
devices directly to the switch. The switch automatically learns nodes addresses, which are subsequently
used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.

The switch can connect with another switch or hub to interconnect each of your small, switched workgroups
to form a larger switched network. Meanwhile, you can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The
distance between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) or 15~60
kilometers (single-mode fiber).

Small Workgroup

The switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers, servers or printer servers are
directly connect to form a small workgroup.

Segment Bridge

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal
solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone.

For example, two Ethernet switches, both with PCs and/or a print server, and a local server can all
connected to the FM2017. All of the devices in this configuration can communicate with each other through
the FM2017. Connecting a server to the switch allows other users to access that server’s data.

VLAN Application

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) logically segments the physical LAN so that packets are switched only
between ports within the same VLAN group. This creates secure segments, as well as enables efficient
traffic separation, provides better bandwidth utilization and alleviates cabling issues.

You can group the switch ports into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN group to
increase network capacity and performance. Moreover, VLAN groups can be modified at any time to add,
move or change users without any re-cabling (for more information, see Chapter 5. Web-Based
Management).

Chapter 4. Network Configuration

This chapter explains how to configure console management via a direct connection to the console port of
the switch.

Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct connection to the RS-232
console port. This port is a female DB-9 connector. From the main menu of the console program, the user
has access to manage the functions of the switch.

Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port

The console configuration (out-of-band management) allows you to enable a user at a remote console
terminal to communicate with the switch as if the console terminal were directly connected to it.

Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console port. The terminal or PC to be
connected must support the terminal emulation program.

After the connection between switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation

program or Hyper Terminal to match the following default characteristics of the console port:

Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bit: 1
Control flow: None

Note: When setting up the Hyper Terminal, set the Emulation Mode to “VT100”.

After you have finished setting the parameters, press OK and then press Enter. The Main Menu of the
console management program appears in the emulation program’s window.

Assigning IP Address

After you have attached a terminal or PC with emulation software, you are ready to make a connection using
a web browser. You first have to assign an IP address to the switch.

Once you have logged into the switch, you need to assign an IP address to the switch’s Ethernet Interfaces
so that you can connect to the switch using a web browser.

If you want to change from the default IP address (192.168.0.1), for example, there are three kinds of
commands to choose from. After the symbol

1. “ip-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (where the x’s represent an IP address from your network).

Appendix A. Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the switch. If you still are having
problems after reading through the information here, contact Asanté’s Technical Support for assistance.

Your switch can easily be monitored through the LED indicators to assist in identifying problems. Below are
listed common problems that you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.

Incorrect Connections

When connecting to another switch or hub, you must use a crossover cable from an RJ-45 MDIX connector
on your switch to a MDIX connector on the other switch/hub. If you have a straight-through cable, the
connection will not work.

LAN adapters in end nodes are normally wired as MDI ports, as are some ports on switches or hubs. For
connections from the switch to these MDI ports, use a straight-through cable.

Faulty or Loose Cables

Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If the cabling appears to be all right, make sure the
connections are snug. Finally, try the connection with a known working cable.

Non-Standard Cables

Non-standard and incorrectly wired cables can cause numerous network collisions and other network
problems, seriously impairing network performance. Asanté recommends UTP Category 5 or better UTP
cable for every network installation.

Improper Network Topologies

Make sure that a valid network topology is employed. Common topology faults include excessive cable
length, too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes, and data path loops. Between any two nodes, there
should only be one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will
severely impact network performance.

Cabling

RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections:

Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be
sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

100Base-FX fiber port:

cable. You can connect two devices over a 2-kilometer distance. However, fiber single-mode connector type
must use 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices over a15~60-kilometer distance in
full-duplex operation.

Fiber multi-mode connector type must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber
