Overview

SMC’s TigerSwitch SMC8748L2 is an intelligent switch with 48 10/100/

1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports with four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 45-48), and 2 optional expansion slots on the rear panel for 10GBASE modules.

The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.

The 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 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services.

Switch Architecture

The SMC8748L2 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.

The 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.

The switch also includes two slots on the rear panel for slide-in single-port 10GBASE modules that support XFP transceivers.

Network Management Options

The SMC8748L2 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 it 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

10/100/1000BASE-T Ports

The SMC8748L2 contains 48 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all RJ-45 ports on this switch 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. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page B-5.)

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 IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

BOUT THE TIGERSWITCH

SFP Slots

The SMC8748L2 contains four combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports that are shared with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (Ports 45-48,

Figure 1-1 on page 1-2). If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled. The switch can be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

10-Gigabit Ethernet Module Slots

The SMC8748L2 include two slots on the rear panel for hot-swappable single-port 10GBASE modules with XFP transceivers. Refer to “Optional Media Extender Module” on page 1-7 for more information on this module.

Port and System Status LEDs

The SMC8748L2 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 below and described in the following tables.

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 distance between end stations is limited by a maximum 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.

A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet network to significantly boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and network cards.

ETWORK PLANNING

Application Examples

The SMC8748L2 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 SMC8748L2 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. 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 connect to another switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver, or a 10G XFP transceiver on an optional module.

In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 100 workstations, 1000

Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.

Network Aggregation Plan

This switch provides 48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 48 distinct collision domains), which can be used to collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000

Mbps connectivity through layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is

also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.

Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-LH link up to 70

km. This allows a switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing

direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between floors in the same building and a 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver can be used for core connections between buildings in a campus setting. And for long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-LH SFP transceiver can be used to reach another site up to 70 kilometers away.

The figure below illustrates the switch connecting multiple segments with fiber cable.

ETWORK PLANNING

Making VLAN Connections

This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.

VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links.

The switch also support multiple spanning trees which allow VLANs groups to maintain a more stable path between all VLAN members. This can reduce the overall amount of protocol traffic crossing the network, and provide a shorter reconfiguration time if any link in the spanning tree fails.

Figure 2-5 Making VLAN Connections

Note: When connecting to a switch that does not support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

tags, use untagged ports.

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. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is

actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.

3. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link

should not exceed:

• 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber.

• 1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3.1 miles) for single-mode fiber.

• 1000BASE-LH: 70 km (43 miles) for single-mode fiber.

• 10GBASE-SR: 300 m (984 ft) for multimode fiber.

• 10GBASE-LR: 10 km (6.2 miles) for single-mode fiber.

• 10GBASE-ER: 40 km (24.9 miles) for single-mode fiber.

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

Connecting Network Devices

The SMC8748L2 switch is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional SFP tranceivers or optional 10GBASE module with XFP transceivers.

Twisted-Pair Devices

Each device requires an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

Cabling Guidelines

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

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 switch 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. (See on page 4-3) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

“Network Wiring Connections”

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

3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch)

corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid.

Note: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is

actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.

Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.

1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and

the other end to the patch panel.

2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back

Fiber Optic SFP and XFP Devices

An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH) or an optional 10-Gigabit Ethernet module with XFP transceiver (10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, or 10GBASE-ER) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server.

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.

Warning: 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.

Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make

sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.

Hinweis: Bei der Wahl eines Glasfasertransceivers muß für die

Beurteilung der Gesamtsicherheit beachtet werden, das die maximale Umgebungstemperatur des Transceivers für den Betrieb nicht niedriger ist als die für dieses Produkts. Der Glasfasertransceiver muß auch ein überprüftes Gerät der Laser Klasse 1 sein.

1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a

fiber cable, the rubber plug 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.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the

other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

Connectivity Rules

When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

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 Category 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 802.3-2002 standards.

ABLE LABELING AND CONNECTION RECORDS

Cable Labeling and Connection Records

When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines:

• Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

• Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all

network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected.

• Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported

by the switch ports.

• For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning

prefixes to your cable labeling.

• Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same

equipment.

• Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

• Label each separate piece of equipment.

• Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all

abbreviations at each equipment rack.

Off Off Both internal power and RPU unplugged or not functioning.

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. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective.

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.

A-2

IN-B

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 tools. 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.

Note: The management agent accepts up to four simultaneous Telnet

sessions. If the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional Telnet connection will not be able to log into the system.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments

For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green 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.

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

This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

The figure below 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.

Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit 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. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

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 Category 6 cables.

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

3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.

Fiber Standards

The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A specification on optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type for horizontal subsystems and two cable types for backbone subsystems.

Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet). Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single-mode.

TIA 568-B will allow the use of 50/125 micron multimode optical fiber in both the horizontal and backbone in addition to the types listed above. All optical fiber components and installation practices must meet applicable building and safety codes.

Glossary-1

Auto-Negotiation

Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g., 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, and half or full duplex) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected.

Bandwidth

The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable.

Collision

A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.

Collision Domain

Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.

CSMA/CD

CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the communication method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet.

with each

End Station

A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.

Ethernet

A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.

Glossary-2

Fast Ethernet

A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.

Full Duplex

Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.

Gigabit Ethernet

A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

IEEE 802.3

Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications.

IEEE 802.3ab

Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2002.)

Defines Ethernet frame start/stop requests and timers used for flow control on full-duplex links. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2002.)

IEEE 802.3z

Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 1000BASE Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2002.)

LAN Segment

Separate LAN or collision domain.

LED

Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A group of interconnected computer and support devices.

Media Access Control (MAC)

A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network nodes.

MIB

An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database objects that contains information about the device.

Modal Bandwidth

Bandwidth for multimode fiber is referred to as modal bandwidth because it varies with the modal field (or core diameter) of the fiber. Modal bandwidth is specified in units of MHz per km, which indicates the amount of bandwidth supported by the fiber for a one km distance.

Glossary-4

Network Diameter

Wire distance between two end stations in the same collision domain.

Redundant Power Supply (RPS)

A backup power supply unit that automatically supplies power should the primary power supply fail.

RJ-45 Connector

A connector for twisted-pair wiring.

Switched Ports

Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.

TIA

Telecommunications Industry Association

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer protocol.

UTP

Unshielded twisted-pair cable.

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
