1. Introduction		1

The NETGEAR® ProSAFE® S3300 Smart Switch is a high-performance, IEEE-compliant, stackable switch with either 48 (models S3300-52X and S3300-52X-PoE+) or 24 (models S3300-28X and S3300-28X-PoE+) twisted-pair ports on the front panel to support 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. In addition, the front panel provides two dedicated 10GBASE-T ports and two dedicated SFP+ ports for connections to a server or network backbone. You can configure the dedicated 10GBASE-T and SFP+ ports as stacking links to build a stack system with other S3300 switches. To simplify installation, the smart switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.

This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your smart switch.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the smart switch and includes the following sections:

S3300 Smart Switch

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 offers low latency for high-speed 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 10G/1G ports always operate in 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.

Hardware Features

The S3300 Smart Switch includes the following key hardware features:

•Forty eight (S3300-52X and S3300-52X-PoE+) or twenty four (S3300-28X and S3300-28X-PoE+) 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

•Two dedicated 100M/1G/10GBASE-T ports.

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’s low-level drivers through the 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. The backup master functions as a slave but can become the master if the 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.

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. The standalone unit does not run the 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. If the 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.
