Overview

SMC’s TigerStack III 10/100 SMC6826MPE is a 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch with 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and two combination ports — 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that operate in

combination with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots An optional SFP stacking transceiver is available for connecting up to eight units to a 2 Gbps stack backplane.

All the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on this switch support IEEE

802.3af standard (802.3af) Power-over-Ethernet capabilities. Each port can detect connected 802.3af-compliant network devices, such as IP phones or wireless access points, and automatically supply the required DC power.

As well as its Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, the switch provides comprehensive network management features, such as Spanning Tree Protocol, multicast switching, virtual LANs, and Layer 2/3/4 CoS services that provide reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic.

* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled

Switch Architecture

The 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.

PoE/Link

This switch includes two Gigabit combination ports with RJ-45 connectors and associated SFP slots. The optional SFP stacking transceiver enables up to eight units to be connected together through a 1 Gbps stack backplane. The switch stack can be managed from a master unit using a single IP address.

Power-over-Ethernet Capability

The switch’s 24 10/100 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable. Any 802.3af compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power

1-2

from the switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives network administrators centralized power control for devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability.

For each attached 802.3af-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using the two data wire pairs in UTP or STP. Each port can provide up to 15.4 W of power at the standard -48 VDC voltage. Independent overload and short-circuit protection for each port allows the switch to automatically shut down a port’s power when limits are exceeded.

Network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras, typically consume less than 10 W of power, so they are ideal for Power-over-Ethernet applications.

Network Management Options

With a comprehensive arrange of LED indicators, this switch provides “at a glance” monitoring of network and port status. The switch can be managed over the network with a web browser or Telnet application, or via a direct connection to the console port. The switch includes a built-in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It also has 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 out-of-band via a options.)

Description of Hardware

10/100BASE-T Ports

The PoE switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports 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 “10/100BASE-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 or 100 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.

1000BASE-T/SFP Ports

These are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports with alternate Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports 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 “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page B-5.)

Note: The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports do not support PoE capability.

Port and System Status LED Indicators

The switch base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LED indicators, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.

Port Status LEDs

Figure 1-2 Port LED Indicators

The port status LED indicators have two display modes; Link and PoE. The Link mode displays the link status and network activity on each port. The PoE mode displays the PoE power status on each port. Use the Mode Link/PoE button (see “Mode PoE/Link Button” on page 1-9) on the front panel to toggle between the two display modes. The current mode is indicated by the Link/Act and PoE system LED indicators.
