Switch Architecture

The TigerSwitch 10/100 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching
fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets
at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability
on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

Switching Method

This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. In store-and-forward switching mode, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded.
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a- glance”
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network
management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using
SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or
remotely via Telnet. The switch provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9
connector) on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be
connected to this port
null-modem cable.

This switch provides a wide range of advanced features. Port-based and
tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration that
provides traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS
priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time
multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of
packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm
control prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. For
a detailed description, refer to the Management Guide.

ESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE

Description of Hardware

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

There are eight fixed 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports on the switch. Because
these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to
other switches or hubs.

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10/100 Mbps)
can be selected automatically. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x
auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically
prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

Note: If a device connected to one of these ports does not support

auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be
configured manually.

1000BASE-T Port

There is one fixed 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port on the switch’s front
panel. This port operates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, and supports
auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode (i.e., half or full duplex), and
flow control.

This port is shared with the Gigabit Module slot on the switch’s rear
panel. If a 1000BASE-X module is installed in the slot and has a
valid link on its port, the 1000BASE-T port is disabled.

Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, you will

have to manually configure the switch and the other device to
match the duplex mode and speed.

Introduction to Switching

A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via
non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more
efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been
recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s
networking technology.

When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network
access point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the
device experiencing congestion (server, power user or hub) can be attached
directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth
of the dedicated segment can be doubled to maximize throughput.

When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the maximum
distance between end stations is limited. For Ethernet, there may be up to
four hubs between any pair of stations; for Fast Ethernet, the maximum is
two. This is known as the hop count. However, a switch turns the hop
count back to zero, so subdividing the network into smaller and more
manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of
a switch, removes this limitation.

2

A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
network to significantly boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling
and network cards.

Application Examples

The TigerSwitch 10/100 is not only designed to segment your network,
but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network
connections. Some typical applications are described below.

Collapsed Backbone

The TigerSwitch 10/100 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the
near future. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct
full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes
for further expansion, just cascade the TigerSwitch to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet hub or switch.

In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 10/100 is operating as a collapsed
backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 20 Mbps full-duplex
connections to workstations and 200 Mbps full-duplex connections to
power users and servers.

Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media
type. A 100 Mbps multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km, and a
100 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 20 km. A
1000BASE-LX SMF Gigabit link can also connect to a site up to 5 km
away. This allows the TigerSwitch 10/100 to serve as a collapsed
backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. The
100BASE-FX SMF module can be used to interconnect remote Fast
Ethernet segments. While a Gigabit module can be used for a high-speed
connection between floors in the same building, or to connect to other
buildings in a campus setting. The figure below illustrates a TigerSwitch
10/100 connecting multiple segments with fiber cable.

Making VLAN Connections

VLANs can be based on port groups, or each data frame can be explicitly
tagged to identify the VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based
VLANs, ports can either be assigned to one specific group or to all groups.
Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. A single switch can be
easily configured to support several VLAN groups for various
organizational entities (such as Finance and Marketing).

When you expand port-based VLANs across several switches, you need to
make a separate connection for each VLAN group. This approach is,
however, inconsistent with the Spanning Tree Protocol, which can easily
segregate ports that belong to the same VLAN. When VLANs cross
separate switches, it is therefore better to use VLAN tagging. This allows
you to assign multiple VLAN groups to the “trunk” ports (that is, tagged
ports) connecting different switches.

PPLICATION NOTES

Application Notes

1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as
when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch).
When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in
half-duplex mode.

2. When a switch is connected to a hub or any kind of shared media,

remember to turn off back pressure to prevent jamming packets from
being propagated throughout the hub.

3. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar

network types, you can attach the TigerSwitch 10/100 units directly to
a router.

4. The multimode fiber modules are fitted with SC connectors, but you

can attach an ST plug to the switch using SMC’s optional SC-to-ST
plug converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091, for 62.5/125 micron
cable only). If you do use an ST plug converter, be sure you run cable
from the Rx (Tx) port on the module to the Tx (Rx) port on the target
device.

5. As a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched

link should not exceed:

• 1000BASE-SX/LX — 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber or
5 km (16404 ft) for single-mode fiber.

• 100BASE-FX — 2 km (1.24 miles) for multimode fiber or 20 km
(2.43 miles) for single-mode fiber.

However, power budget constraints must also be considered when
calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

Selecting a Site

TigerSwitch 10/100 units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below
when choosing a location.

◆ The site should:

• be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a
power outlet.

• be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to
122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing

• provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for
proper air flow

• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices

3

• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible

◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical
interference, such as radios and transmitters.

◆ Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to
240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 ft) of each device and is
powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment,
using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45
connector.

Figure 4-1. Making Twisted-Pair Connections

2. If the device is a network card and the TigerSwitch is in the wiring
closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall
outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. Otherwise, attach the
other end to an available port on the switch.

Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft)
in length.

Note: When connected to a shared collision domain (such as a hub

with multiple workstations), switch ports must be set to
half-duplex mode and back pressure flow control disabled.

3. As each connection is made, the green Link LED (on the TigerSwitch)
corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is
valid.

Fiber Optic Devices

An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module may be used for backbone and
long distance connections. A 1000BASE-X module may also be used for a
backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed
server.

Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron
multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. If you
need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type
connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number:
99-012034-091).

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber
optic cable with an SC connector at both ends.

Caution: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic

cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a
Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal
operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.

1. Remove and keep the SC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to
a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable
plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball
moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic
cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable
and lead to degraded performance on the port.

IBER OPTIC DEVICES

3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the
other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are
keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

SC fiber connector

Figure 4-3. Making SC Port Connections

4. As a connection is made, check the green Link LED on the switch
corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.

Note: If you use the optional SC-ST Converter, be sure to connect the

converter’s Tx (Rx) port to the Rx (Tx) port on the other device.

The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate only at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
You can run a single-mode fiber link up to 20 kilometers (12.43 miles).
However, note that power budget constraints must also be considered
when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

The 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX fiber optic ports operate at
1 Gbps full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum
length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the
fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain”
on page 2-5.

ROUBLESHOOTING

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in,
you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal
power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while,
check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power
outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running
prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, contact SMC
Technical Support for assistance.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or
more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or
network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure
that all the other components are functioning properly.

In-Band Access

You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within
the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network
management software. However, you must first configure the switch with a
valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble
establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a
valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP
address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the
switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the
network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments

Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.

Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.

For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have
two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For
example, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also,
an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.

Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a

specific orientation. (See “Cabling Guidelines” on page 4-2 for
an explanation.)

Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the
wires to the pins.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections
should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are
connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or
any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or 6 cable
should be used. The Category 5e and 6 specifications include test
parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the
first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running
1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable

Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End
Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing
information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard.
Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and
Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission
Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”

Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch
cables between switches and end devices.

Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T

If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test
parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be
applied to try and correct the problem:

1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category
5e or 6 cables.

2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.

3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
