Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the 17-Port modular Fast Ethernet
Switch LB9217A. The switch introduced here is a base unit providing 3 expansion
slots, including two slots for 8-port modules and one slot for single-port module.
The 8-port modules allow for 10/100BaseT/TX or 100BaseFX; the single-port
module allows for 100BaseFX. Over a dozen of TX and FX modules or a
combination of TX/FX are available for fitting the switch. Furthermore, the 17Port Switch supports port-based VLAN and MAC-based trunking technologies.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an understanding of
networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX/FX Fast Ethernet,
and local area networks (LANs).
In this manual, you will find:
• Features on the 17-Port Switch: LB9012A-R2
• Illustrative LED functions
• Installation instructions
• Configuration instructions for VLAN & trunking
• Specifications

Introduction
LB9217A: 17-Port Modular Fast Ethernet Switch
The 17-Port Switch is a modular switch consisting of three expansion slots: two
for 8-port 10/100BaseTX/FX module, and one for 1-port 100BaseFX module. This
allows the switch to provide up to 17 ports when all the three slots are fit with
modules.
Cost-Effective Migration
The 17-Port Switch is capable of integrating legacy 10Mbps networks with
100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. In addition, the 17-Port Switch provides an
easy and affordable solution for migrating from copper cabling to fiber
connection when it is equipped with suitable modules to provide both TX and FX
ports.
Flexibility through Modules
Seeing fiber connection become popular while the fiber cabling in small business
environment is still not widespread, the 17-Port Switch is designed to deliver
flexibility through a wide variety of TX and FX modules. Most of the modules
combine TX and FX ports to provide more customization options.
<NOTE> Desired module shall be ordered separately.
Fiber-Connectivity
As a Fast Ethernet switch, the 17-Port Switch is specifically designed to meet the
demanding need for fiber. The switch provides up to 17 ports for 100BaseFX,
multi-mode or single-mode fiber. For multi-mode fiber port, it allows SC, ST,
MT-RJ, VF-45 or LC connector. For single-mode fiber port, it allows SC
connector only. The fiber ports allow maximum segment distance of 75 km when
using single-mode fiber, and therefore, the 17-Port Fiber Switch is an optimum
solution for long distance connection.
Basic Configuration Features
The 17-Port Switch supports port-based Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN)
and MAC-based trunking technologies. Such advanced features bring network
administrators a powerful yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary traffic,
efficiently segment the network, and enhance network security.
Standards Compliant
The 17-Port Switch fully complies with IEEE802.3 10BaseT as well as
IEEE802.3u 100BaseTX/FX standards.
