1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR® ProSafeTM FS752TP Smart Switch! Your FS752TP switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who require a large number of ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. There are 48 twisted-paired ports with four gigabit ports (two are combo ports with SFP GBIC slots) on the front panel of the switch. To simplify installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.

The FS752TP Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide describes how to install and power on the FS752TP. The information in this manual is intended for readers with intermediate computer and Internet skills.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the FS752TP and provides the following information:

• Overview

• Features

• Package Contents

FS752TP Smart Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR FS752TP Smart Switch has:

• 48 Fast Ethernet RJ45 PoE ports with auto sensing, supporting 10/100M speed. Ports 1-4

provide maximum power of 30W and ports 5-48 provide maximum power of 15.4W. The total PoE power budge is 384W.

• 2 Gigabit combo ports with auto sensing, supporting 10/100/1000M speed on RJ45 and

100/1000M on SFP.

• 2 10/100/1000M Gigabit Uplink Ports

Available memory types of the switch are the following:

• 16 bit 64 MB DDR SDRAM memory

• 16 MB Serial flash for Application Code and OS

The switch can store up to two images in FLASH. It can be configured to boot with the image of the user’s choice.

Using these Gigabit slots, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone. For example, you can:

• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links

• Link to high-speed servers

• Provide 10/100/1000M copper and 1000M fiber connectivity

The NETGEAR FS752TP Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the network. With a Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be viewed and used in a simple and intuitive manner. The switch’s management features include configuration for port and switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features provide better understanding and control of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program, a utility that runs on a PC.

The NETGEAR FS752TP Smart Switch is a standard 1U chassis high/17” rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable.

Introduction

FS752TP Smart Switch

Features

The following list identifies the key features supported by the FS752TP:

• The 10/100/1000 Base-T ports are auto-sensing using RJ-45 UTP connectors.

• Auto MDI/MDI-X sensing and auto-negotiation is supported on all ports.

• Full-duplex flow control.

• Half-duplex back pressure control.

• Head-of-line blocking prevention .

• MAC aging.

• Static MAC addresses entry and dynamic MAC addresses learning.

• VLANs

• IEEE 802.1Q up to 128 VLAN entries.

• Protected ports functionality which is similar to Port based VLANs.

• 802.3ad Link Aggregation.

• Setting LAGs manually or dynamically using LACP.

• Auto-Voice VLAN.

• Port mirroring (many to one), including the ability to Mirror RX, TX, or both.

• CoS and QoS.

• Broadcast, Multicast, and Unknown Unicast storm protection by specifying the threshold

as a percentage of port-speed.

• Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1d).

• IEEE 802.1s MSTP and IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Reconfiguration Spanning Tree.

• L4 QoS ACL.

• Policy-based DiffServ.

• NETGEAR Green product series power-saving features:

• Per port automatic power down when the port link is down.

FS752TP Front-Panel and Back-Panel Configuration

The FS752TP has:

• 48 10/100 Mbps copper ports

• Ports 49, 50 with RJ45 connectors that support 10/100/1000 Mbps

• Ports 51 and 52 with RJ45 connectors that support 10/100/1000 Mbps only

• Two SFP ports (Combo ports). The SFP combo ports are shared with copper ports 49 and

50. If the SFP combo ports are in use, copper ports 49 and 50 are inactive.

Each port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the duplex mode with the link partner automatically.
