It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for RJ-45 connections—Category 3 or greater for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or greater for 100 Mbps connections and Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. Use 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable, or 9/125 micron single-mode cable, for SFP transceiver connections.

War ni ngs : 1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent elec-

trostatic discharge when handling this equipment.

2. When connecting this switch to a power outlet, connect the field ground lead on the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground line to prevent electrical hazards.

Overview

The SMC6726AL2 is a Fast Ethernet switch with 24 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX ports and two 1000BASE-T ports that operate in combination with two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver

(see Figure 1-1, Ports 25-26). The switch also includes an

slots SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.

This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.3Q compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services.

* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the cor responding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports 25-26.

Switch Architecture

The SMC6726AL2 switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, 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.

Network Management Options

This SMC6726AL2 switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or SNMP-based network management software.

For a detailed description of the advanced features, refer to the Management Guide.

Description of Hardware

RJ-45 Ports

The SMC6726AL2 contains 24 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and two 10/ 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports that are shared with two SFP slots. All of the RJ-45 ports can operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex. The Gigabit ports can also operate at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. The RJ-45 ports all support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page B-2.)

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100 or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

SFP Slots

The SMC6726AL2 contains two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots that are shared with 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports 25-26. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

Port and System Status LEDs

The SMC6726AL2 includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown on the next page and described in the following tables.
