Summit 200-24 Switch Physical Features

The Summit 200-24 switch is a compact enclosure (see Figure 1) one rack unit in height (1.75 inches or 44.45 mm) that provides 24 autosensing 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports using RJ-45 connectors. It also provides two 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports using RJ-45 connectors and two optical ports that also allow Gigabit Ethernet uplink connections through Extreme 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX Small Form Factor pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Connectors (GBICs)—also known as mini-GBICs—using LC optical fiber connectors.

Summit 200-24 Switch Physical Features

NOTE

See “Summit 200-24 Switch LEDs” on page 18 for more details.

Console Port

Use the console port (9-pin, “D” type connector) for connecting a terminal and carrying out local management.

Port Connections

The Summit 200-24 switch has 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports using RJ-45 connectors for communicating with end stations and other devices over 10/100Mbps Ethernet.

The switch also has four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. These ports are labeled 25 and 26 on the front panel of the switch. Two of the ports are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports using RJ-45 connectors. The other two ports are unpopulated receptacles for mini-SFP GBICs, using optical fibers with LC connectors. The Summit 200-24 switch supports the use of 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX mini-GBICs.

NOTE

Only mini-GBICs that have been certified by Extreme Networks (available from Extreme Networks) should be inserted into the mini-GBIC receptacles on the Summit 200 series switch.

Only two of the four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports can be active at one time. For example, you can use both 1000BASE-T ports, both mini-GBIC ports, or a combination of one 1000BASE-T port and one mini-GBIC.

NOTE

For information on the mini-GBIC, see “Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support” on page 23.

Summit 200-24 Switch Uplink Redundancy

Gigabit Ethernet uplink redundancy on the Summit 200-24 switch follows these rules:

•Ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit Ethernet ports that have redundant PHY interfaces, one mini-GBIC and one 1000BASE-T connection for each port.

•Each of the uplink Gigabit Ethernet ports (25 and 26) can use either the mini-GBIC or the 1000BASE-T interface, but not both simultaneously.

•Only one interface on each port can be active at a time. For example, on port 25, with both the mini-GBIC and 1000BASE-T interfaces connected, only one interface can be activated. The other is inactive. If both interfaces are connected, the switch defaults to the fiber interface (mini-GBIC) and deactivates the 1000BASE-T interface.

•If only one interface is connected, the switch activates the connected interface.

•To set up a redundant link on port 25, connect the active fibre and 1000BASE-T links to both the RJ-45 and mini-GBIC interfaces of port 25. The switch defaults to the fiber link. If the fiber link fails during operation, the switch automatically activates the redundant 1000BASE-T link.

Summit 200 Series Switch Overview

NOTE

To support automatic failover between the fiber and copper ports, you must use an Extreme mini-GBIC connector.

Full-Duplex

The Summit 200-24 switch provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. All 10/100 Mbps ports on the Summit 200-24 switch autonegotiate for halfor full-duplex operation.

Only mini-GBICs that have been certified by Extreme Networks (available from Extreme Networks) should be inserted into the mini-GBIC receptacles on the Summit 200 series switch.

Only two of the four Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports can be active at one time. For example, you can use both 1000BASE-T ports, both mini-GBIC ports, or a combination of one 1000BASE-T port and one mini-GBIC.

NOTE

For information on the mini-GBIC, see “Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support” on page 23.

Summit 200-48 Switch Physical Features

NOTE

When configuring the Summit 200-48 switch, all ports specified as mirrored ports and mirroring port, or ACL ingress ports and egress port, must belong to the same port group. Port group 1 consists of ports 1 through 24 and port 49; port group 2 consists of ports 25 through 48 and port 50.

Gigabit Ethernet Port Failover Speed

The Summit 200-48 switch Gigabit Ethernet port failover from the fiber link to the copper link takes 3-4 seconds. The Summit 200-48 switch Gigabit Ethernet port failover from the copper link to the fiber link takes 1-2 seconds.

Summit 200-48 Switch Uplink Redundancy

Gigabit Ethernet uplink redundancy on the Summit 200-48 switch follows these rules:

•Ports 49 and 50 are Gigabit Ethernet ports that have redundant PHY interfaces, one mini-GBIC and one 1000BASE-T connection for each port.

•Each of the uplink Gigabit Ethernet ports (49 and 50) can use either the mini-GBIC or the1000BASE-T interface, but not both simultaneously.

•Only one interface on each port can be active at a time. For example, on port 49, with both the mini-GBIC and 1000BASE-T interfaces connected, only one interface can be activated. The other is inactive. If both interfaces are connected, the switch defaults to the fiber interface (mini-GBIC) and deactivates the 1000BASE-T interface.

•If only one interface is connected, the switch activates the connected interface.

•To set up a redundant link on port 49, connect the active fibre and 1000BASE-T links to both the RJ-45 and mini-GBIC interfaces of port 49. The switch defaults to the fiber link. If the fiber link fails during operation, the switch automatically activates the redundant 1000BASE-T link.

NOTE

To support automatic failover between the fiber and copper ports, you must use an Extreme mini-GBIC connector.

Full-Duplex

The Summit 200-48 switch provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. All 10/100 Mbps ports on the Summit 200-48 switch autonegotiate for halfor full-duplex operation.

Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support

The Summit 200 series switch supports the SFP GBIC, also known as the mini-GBIC, in three types: the SX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-SX standard, the LX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-LX standard, and the ZX mini-GBIC, a long-haul mini-GBIC that conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard. The system uses identifier bits to determine the media type of the mini-GBIC that is installed. The Summit 200 series switches support only the SFP mini-GBIC.

NOTE

Only mini-GBICs that have been certified by Extreme Networks (available from Extreme Networks) should be inserted into the mini-GBIC receptacles on the Summit 200 series switch.

Receiver
Optical input power sensitivity	–23 dBm
Optical input power maximum			–3 dBm
Operating wavelength	1270 nm		1355 nm
General
Total system budget			13.5 dB

Total optical system budget for the LX mini-GBIC is 13.5 dB. Measure cable plant losses with a 1310 nm light source and verify this to be within budget. When calculating the maximum distance attainable using optical cable with a specified loss per kilometer (for example 0.25 dB/km) Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices, connectors, and operating margin. Thus, 10.5 dB remains available for cable induced attenuation. There is no minimum attenuation or minimum cable length restriction.
