Hardware Overview
This installation guide is for the following S3300 Smart Switch models:
• S3300-52X. Supports forty eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, two dedicated
100M/1G/10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10G/1G SFP+ ports.
• S3300-52X-PoE+. Supports forty eight 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ capable ports
(IEEE 802.1at), two dedicated 100M/1G/10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10G/1G
SFP+ ports.
• S3300-28X. Supports twenty four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, two dedicated
100M/1G/10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10G/1G SFP+ ports.
• S3300-28X-PoE+. Supports twenty four 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ capable ports
(IEEE 802.1at), two dedicated 100M/1G/10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10G/1G
SFP+ ports.
You can configure the dedicated 10GBASE-T and SFP+ ports on the smart switch either as
Ethernet ports or as stacking links.
Using these 10G copper and fiber ports, you can also create high-speed connections to a
server or network backbone. For example, you can do the following:
• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
• Link to high-speed servers
• Provide 10G/1G/100M copper and 10G/1G fiber connectivity
• Connect up to six switches in a stack to create a high-port-capacity solution with a single
point of administration
The smart switch can be freestanding, stacked with other switches, or rack-mounted in a
wiring closet or equipment room. It is IEEE compliant and of
networking.
All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the smart switch very
suitable for environments with a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or
10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. The 10/100 Mbps ports can 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. For 10GBASE-T connections, NETGEAR recommends that you
use a Category 6a cable or a cable that is even higher rated.
The 10G/1G ports always operate in full-duplex mode.

S3300 Smart Switch
Stacking
A single switch can control and manage a stack. This switch is referred to as the stack
master, or simply, the master. Any other members in the stack are referred to as slaves. All
switches in a stack are stack members.
Slaves can download firmware from the master and the master can push firmware to the
slaves.
The master runs the fully operational software of a switch. In addition, the master runs the
master software of the distributed switching application that configures and manages all
slaves. Generally, the master operates the remote slave’
distributed switching application part that is running in the context of the slave.
During stacking setup, the switches autoselect one switch as the master. All other switches
become slaves and are assigned unique stack IDs. One of the slaves is designated as the
backup master.
original master fails. In the default configuration, the master and backup master are assigned
unit IDs of 1 and 2, respectively. You can use the web management interface to configure
different ID assignments. The master provides a single point of control and management as
well as a single interface through which to control and manage the stack.
The backup master functions as a slave but can become the master if the
s low-level drivers through the
Switch software is downloaded separately for each stack member. However, all stack
members must be running the same software version.
A stack unit can operate in one of the following modes:
• A standalone switch runs as a general switch.
stacking application until it is connected to a stack.
• A master manages the entire stack and is responsible for the entire stack configuration.
All protocols run in the context of the master, which updates and synchronizes the backup
master
• A backup master runs as a slave until it must take over from the master. In addition, the
backup master continuously monitors the existence and operation of the master
master fails, the backup master assumes the role of master through a switchover.
• A slave runs only a slave version of the distributed switching software, which allows the
applications running on the master to control and manage the resources of the slave.
A stack can contain a mix of up to six S3300 switches. All S3300 models support stacking.

Device Hardware Interfaces
This section describes the hardware interfaces of the S3300 models.
RJ-45 Ports
The RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the smart
switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10
Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support
only an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink
technology. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables.
Physical Description
18
S3300 Smart Switch
When you insert a cable into the smart switch’s RJ-45 port, the smart switch automatically
performs the following actions:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The
eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you
attach devices.
Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while
10GBASE-T Ports
To enable high-speed copper and long distance connections on the smart switch, two RJ-45
10GBASE-T copper ports (the two ports to the left of the SFP+ ports on the front panel)
support speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
You can also use the 10GBASE-T ports to connect the smart switch to a stack.
SFP+ Ports
To enable high-speed fiber and long distance connections on the smart switch, two SFP+
fiber ports (the rightmost two ports on the front panel) accommodate standard 10G and
1G SFP+ transceiver modules, which are sold separately.
You can also use the SFP+ ports to connect the smart switch to a stack.
Reset Button
The smart switch provides a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot
the smart switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last
saved configuration is loaded into the smart switch as it resets.
To reset the smart switch using the Reset button:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Press the recessed Reset button for a short time (less than two seconds).
The front panel LEDs turn off and light again when the smart switch performs its
power-on self-test (POST).
Factory Defaults Button
The smart switch provides a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can
remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you press
the Factory Defaults button, all custom settings including the password, VLAN settings, and
port configurations are returned to default values.

1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Press the recessed Factory Defaults button for about eight seconds.
Note: A smart switch that is a member of a stack retains its stacking
configuration.
USB Port
The smart switch provides one USB 2.0 port to upgrade firmware from a disk, back up the
configuration to a storage device, and allow for the collection of a memory dump for
debugging purposes.
A device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
• The USB device must support USB 2.0.
• The USB device must support the FA

Step 6: Install the Smart Switch as a Stack Master or Stack Slave
The smart switch can function as a master, backup master, or slave in a stack. (For more
information about stacking, see Stacking on page 8.)
A backup master runs as a slave. In addition, it continuously monitors the existence and
operation of the master. If the master fails, the backup master assumes the role of the master
through a switchover. In the default configuration, the master and backup master are
assigned unit ID 1 and 2, respectively . However, you can use the web management interface
to assign different unit IDs. The goal for switchover time is less than 30 seconds.
If a stacking cable fails or a stack member is extracted in a chain topology, slaves could be
disconnected from the stack (which puts them in an ambiguous state), causing all their ports
to enter the down state.
Each stack member can work in one of two modes: slave mode or master mode. The
operational mode is determined at software boot time and can be changed only by a unit
reset.
The Segment Stack ID LED remains lit in both modes.
The smart switch supports two stacking topologies: ring topology and chain topology.
Ring topology
Figure 14. Stacking topologies
The smart switch is a plug-and-play device in terms of setting up a stacking configuration.
Before powering up the smart switch, connect the devices into the required stacking
topology . Then power up the smart switch and the other devices. By default, the smart switch
is configured to allow the master and slave designations to be determined through automatic
discovery . After the smart switch boots and is operational, you can use the web management
interface to configure the stack to select a particular switch as master.
For more information about stacking, see the S3300 Smart Switch Software
Manual.

Step 7: Apply AC Power
The smart switch does not provide an on/off switch. The power cord connection controls the
power.
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can turn off power to the smart switch.

Step 8: Install the RPS and Apply RPS DC Power
This step is optional for models S3300-52X-PoE+ and S3300-28X-PoE+ only. These models
support an optional external redundant power supply (RPS).
To install the RPS and apply RPS DC power:
1. Loosen the screws of the RPS cover plate and remove the cover plate.
The RPS receptacle is exposed.
2. Plug in the RPS connector

Step 9: Manage the Switch Through a Web Browser or the Smart Control Center Utility
The smart switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works.
This management software is not required for the smart switch to work. You can use the
ports without using the management software. However, the management software enables
the setup of VLAN and trunking features and also improves the efficiency of the smart switch,
which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the
network.
After you power up the smart switch for the first time, you can configure the smart switch
using a web browser or a program called Smart Control Center. For more information about
managing the smart switch, see the S3300 Smart Switch Software
