Overview of the Model 5625HD Switch Module

Features of the Model 5625HD Switch Module

The Model 5625HD switch module off ers the following feature s:

• Wire-speed, port-to-port, packet transfer

• Single-slot design to fit into the System 500xBH/BHC chassis

• Autonegotiation of Ethernet 10/100 Mb/s speed

• Autonegotiation of half- or full-duplex mode on dedicated switch ports

• Layer 2 MAC-based switching

• Local frame switching, module-to-module switching, backplane switching, and riser switching

• 200 MHz RISC processor

• 24 RJ-45 UTP network interface connectors

• Front-panel LEDs to indicate module and port operational status

• Port-based virtual LANs (VLANs)

• Protocol-based VLANs

206208-A

Protocol-sensitive VLANs classifies packets based on protocol types. Most customers have multiple protocols per LAN segment , so a swit ch port needs to support multiple VLANs based on different protocol type s. This feature allows you to separa te data base d on pro tocols and not on ph ysica l limit ations.

• IEEE 802.1Q Ta g Recognition Support The Model 5625HD switch module supports recog nition of VLAN tagged

frames based on IEEE 802.1Q tags. Frames entering a Model 5625HD switch module port that contain an 802.1Q tag are mapped to a corresponding VLAN. Based on the final destination, the frame is sent as either an Ethernet-type fra me or an 802.1Q VLAN tagged frame. VLAN membership is to be assigned by any combination of port with either tag or protocol.

• Support for IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree

• Content-addressable memory (CAM) support for 8192 entries

• Port steering/port mirroring

Using the Model 5625HD EtherSpeed Switch Module

There are 2 4 RJ-45 ports on the Model 5625HD switch module that automatically detect speed and duplex mode. (For more information a bout cables, refer to

Appendix B, “

Cables and Connectors.”)

Each Model 5625HD switch module oc cupies one slot in a Model 500x BH/BHC chassis. You can install a maximum of 10 Model 5625HD switch modules, along with two master control processor (MCP) switch modules, in a Model 5000BH/ BHC chassis or a maximum of five Model 5625HD switch modules, and one MCP switch module, in a Model 5005BH chassis.

Switch Configuration and Management

You manage and configure a Model 5625HD switch module through access to an installed MCP module in the Model 500xBH/BHC chassis with the following network management features:

• SpeedView for Windows 4.1 and greater

• Command line interface (CLI)

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent with Sy stem 5000 MIB extensions

1-6

• Trivial Fi le Transfer Protoc ol ( TFTP) support

SpeedView

SpeedView is a network management application that runs on Microsoft Windows® 95 or Windows 98 and Windows NT® and provides a graphical user interface to set up your switch. SpeedView allows you to monitor and control network traffic and to perform advanced operations such as filter configuration. For more information about SpeedView, refer to Using SpeedView 4.0 for W indows and Release Notes for Spe edView 4.1.

Command Line Interface

The CLI provides an out-of-band interface for the initial setup of basic configura tion parameters such as IP address and bridging mode. For more information about the CLI structure and commands, refer to Reference Guide for the Centillion Command Line Inte rface.

SNMP MIB Support

The System 5000BH/BHC MCP modules support an SNMP-compatible agent with private MIB extensions. Built-in SNMP agent support ensures compatibility with existing net work management tools. The MCP modules support MIB-I and MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards that provide access to detailed management statistics .

Using SpeedView, you can configure SNMP traps to be generated automatically for conditions such as unau thorized access attempt s or changes in oper ating status on individu al ports.

TFTP Support

TFTP is a supported Tr ansmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service used to download software and configuration information to the MCP module memory. TFTP allows you to transfer an updated switch agent and configuration files from a remote server to flash memory. You can perform a transfer over the network or through a serial connec tion to the installed MCP module.

Spanning Tree Protocol 802.1d Support

The Model 5625HD switch module software supports the Spanning Tree Protocol as specifi ed in the IEEE 802. 1d sta ndard. The Spanning Tree Protocol is implemented to detect and eli minate logical loops in a bridged or switched network. When multiple paths exist, the spanning tree algorithm configures the network so that a bridge or switch use s only the most efficient path. If that path fails, the protocol automatically reconfigures the network to make another path become active, thus sustaining network operations.

Support for Virtual LANs

Using the Model 5625HD switch module, you can group one or more physical ports to form a virtual LAN that constitutes a single broadcast domain.

V irtual LANs (VLANs) are formed when broadcast domains are configured across multiple switches. Each Ethernet segm ent is an independent physical segment with its o wn collis ion domain, b ut all segm ents withi n a VLAN appear to the user as a broadcast domain.

Filtering

Filtering capabi lities for the Model 5625HD switch module are implemented in system hardware and controlled by system software. Refer to the appropriate Centillion relea se guides for descriptions of the supported filtering capabilities, features, and availability.

Hot-Swapping Capability

A Model 5625HD switch module can be inserted into or removed from a chassis without interrupting service to other modules within the Model 500xBH/BHC chassis. This feature is called “hot-swapping.”

Using the Model 5625HD EtherSpeed Switch Module

Connecting to Ethernet Hubs and Network Devices

You connect the ports of the Model 5625HD switch module to the front panel, wired as MDI-X connections. This wiring allows you to use a straight-thr ough cable between the Model 5625HD switch module and the patch panel.

To connect the ports on the patch panel to another Ethernet switch or an Ethernet hub, follow these guidelines:

• Personal computers (PCs) and servers typically have network interfa ce controllers (NICs) that are configured as MDI connections. To connect these devices, use a straight-through cable.

• Hubs and other switches typically have connectors that are configured as MDI-X. Some hubs and switches have port s that are set by a toggle switch for either MDI or MDI-X operation.

— To connect a port set for MDI-X to the Model 5625HD switch module

port, use a crossover cable.

— To connect a port set for MDI to the Model 5625HD switch module port,

This appendix provide s general information about 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX cabling and connection s.

UTP Cable Length Limitations

All 10BASE-T/100BASE-T ports on the Model 5625HD switch module support the maximum lengths for twisted pai r cabl e that are specified in the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet specification. This specification defines the maximum segment len gth in terms of the performance characteristics of the cable media, whic h ca n vary accor d ing to cabl e type. In most networks, cable runs are less than 100 meters (m) to ensure that data is not distorte d or lost.

Appendix B

Cables and Connect or s

206208-A

For UTP links of #24 AWG cable between a network interface (transceiver or 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network interface controller) and a hub or between hubs, these performance specifications are normally met by a cable run of 100 m (330 ft) or les s, inc luding any patch cables and cross-conne ct cables. The 10B ASE-T/100B ASE-TX st andard spec if ies thi s le ngth as a de sign objective. The Model 5625HD switch module is designed to support a maximum cabl e length of 100 m.

Your cable plant can conta in Cate gory 3 or 5 UTP cables, up to a m aximum le ngth of 100 m between the end station and the Model 5625HD switch module. Use an appropriate patch cable to connect your cable to this module. For addit ional information, refer to Appendix A in Planning and Managing a System 5000 Network (see “Related Publications” in the Preface).

B-1

Using the Model 5625HD EtherSpeed Switch Module

UTP Cabling

A 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connection between two por ts requires two twisted pairs. The transmit data (TD) pai r carries data out from the port transmitter. The rece ive data (R D ) p a i r ca r ries d a t a to th e port rece iver.

The 10BASE- T/100BASE-TX TD and RD circuits must be connected as follows:

• Individual conductor s must provide pin-to-pin continuity (TD+ to RD+,TDto RD-, and so on) between the Model 5625HD switch module port and the attached MD I port on a tra nsc eiver or other n etwork interface.

• Each signal circuit must use a single twisted pair throughout the link.

• Standard Ethernet patch panels and cables provide the previous features.

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI Ports and MDI-X Ports

In the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standard, MDI is the electrical and mechanical interface specified for the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceiver or network interface card conne ctor (for example, on the station at the end of a link). MDI port pins 1 and 2 carry the transmit (TD) signal, and pins 3 and 6 carry the receive (RD) signal as shown in Figure B-1

Cables and Connectors

The Model 5625HD switch module recei ves data on pins 1 and 2 and transmits its data on pins 3 and 6. The host module ports implement this MDI standard crossover internally and are called MDI-X (the X for crossover), as shown in

Figure B-1

. All Model 5625HD switch module 10BASE-T ports are MDI-X

standard. Two simple rules govern all usual RJ-45 connecti ons from each Model 5625HD

switch module 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port to the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port on another devic e:

• A straight-through cable (MDI to MDI- X) is customarily used for connection to a station NIC, to a transceiver, or to a cable plant patch panel.

• A crossover cable or adapter (MDI-X to MDI-X; as shown in Figure B-2

) is

customarily used for connection to another switch or hub port.

Figure B-2. MD I-X to MDI-X Externa l Crossover (RJ-45 Example)

Making the crossover externally with a crossover cable or adapter that e xchanges the TD and RD wire pairs (as shown in Figure B-2) is possible but ha s the following disa dvantages:

• Because a crossover cable is not standard, you might have to specially order one or make your own.

• Having crossover cables and standard cables that resemble one another in a network invites confusion.

206208-A

Caution:

Make any crossover cable you use look obviously different from normal straight- through cables and put a tag on each end; for example, use a distinctive color like yellow and put a tag labeled “X-over” on each end.

Using Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair Cables

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) c able is the recommended wir ing option for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, as specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet. Fast Ethernet recommended UTP cable consists of four pairs of twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single plas tic sheath. The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transmis sions are implemented through two-pa ir or four-pair Category 5 UTP wiring using standard shielded RJ-45 connectors. Category 5 cable is certified to handle up to 100 MHz bandwidth. The EIA/TIA T568A standard recommends the installation of Category 5 UTP cable for 100 Mb/s networks.

Use the following guide lines to ensure that your cables perform to spec ifications:

• Certification—Mak e sure that your Category 5 UTP cable has completed the

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Electronic Te sting Laboratories (ETL) certification process.

206208-A

• Termi nating metho d—To minimize crosstalk noise, mainta in t he twist ra tio of

the cable up t o the point of termi nation (untwist at any termination s hould not exceed 0.5 in.).

• Pairing options—For optimal performance from your cable plant, use the

EIA-T568A Commercial B uilding Wiring Standard pairing opti on a t eac h end of the cable. The terminating hardware offered by most major manufacturers is correctly color-coded for proper wire placement according to that standard.
