CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch! Your NETGEAR Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who want ease of use along with powerful management features you can use to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.

This Installation Guide will assist you in getting your switch up and running. For a detailed description of the management features in this switch, refer to the User Manual, located on your Resource CD for Layer 3 Managed Switches that came with your switch.

This chapter serves as the introduction for using your NETGEAR FSM7352S Switch and provides the following information:

Overview Switch Features Package contents

Overview

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch provides the benefit of management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of your 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. For those who prefer a more traditional interface, there is Command Line Interface (CLI) available through the console port on the front or a telnet connection via the network. The switch’s management features include SNMP and RMON for port and switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features and more will allow you to better understand and better control your network.

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch also provides four fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports using miniGBIC fiber connector located on the front panel. The SFP module bays will accept any standard SFP module. Using these Gigabit ports, 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

• High-speed servers

Fiber and copper Gigabit Ethernet networks

•

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch can be free-standing, or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for highspeed networking. It includes 48 10/100 ports and 4 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 ports. The ports are shielded RJ-45 ports that automatically negotiate to the highest speed. In addition, all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up to 20 Mbps or 200 Mbps or 2000Mbps, respectively. Using Auto Uplink™ technology, every RJ-45 port will automatically detect the proper MDI or MDI-X configuration to make the connection, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
