Overview

The TigerAccess 10/100 is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports for subscriber access to the data network, two

Gigabit Ethernet combination ports are implemented as 10/100/1000BASE-T ports shared with SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 27-28). The switch also includes one 10/100BASE-TX port for dedicated management access (which can be operated outside the data channel), and two slots for optional Gigabit Ethernet combination modules (one 10/100/1000BASE-T port shared with an SFP slot).

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

for uplink traffic. The uplink ports

This switch can enhance your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, and Virtual LANs. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services.

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

27-28 built into the front panel, or ports 25-26 on the optional media expansion modules.

Switch Architecture

This 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.

For communications within the same VLAN, 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.

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 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 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switches through a network

connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network management software.

The management port (RJ-45) provides a dedicated management channel that operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote connection to the management port when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.

For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the SMC7824M/ESW Management Guide.

Description of Hardware

100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ports

The switch contains 24 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports that operate at 10/100 Mbps, half or full duplex, and two 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 of the RJ-45 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. (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 auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

100BASE-TX Management Port

The 10/100BASE-TX port labeled “Mgmt” provides a dedicated management interface which is segregated from the data traffic crossing the other ports.

1-3

BOUT THE TIGERACCESSSWITCH

This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically, if this feature is also supported by the attached device. However, note that the interface connection parameters of this port cannot be configured.

Console Port

The console port on the switch’s front panel is an RJ-45 connection using a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a terminal for performing switch monitoring and configuration functions. The terminal may be a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software, or a terminal configured as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) connection. A null-modem wired serial cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to this interface.

SFP Slots

The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 ports (ports 25~26 on the front panel or ports 27~28 on the optional modules). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, 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.

Note that 1000BASE-SX transceivers use multimode duplex fiber cable, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers use single-mode duplex fiber cable.

Alarm Interface Port

The DB-15 alarm port on the switch’s front panel can be used to provide alarm, service port, and BITS clock reference interfaces. The switch supports two sets of alarm relay contacts (major and minor), and 4 external customer site alarm inputs. It also provides an alarm cutoff button (labeled ACO). Refer to “Connecting to the Alarm Port” on page 3-15 for a description of the pin assignments used to connect to the alarm port.

Port and System Status LEDs

This switch includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel and the power module trays for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.

The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port and SFP slot on this module share the same internal interface. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link, 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.

When connecting to the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port, Category 5, 5e, or 6 twisted-pair cable can be used to connect to another device up to 100 m (328 ft) away. The 1000BASE-T port operates at 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps. At 1000 Mbps it operates at full duplex and supports auto-negotiation of flow control. At 10/100 Mbps it supports auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode (i.e., half or full duplex), and flow control. Note that you should first test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page 4-6.

This module also provides an SFP slot that supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers. For a full listing of the supported transceivers, see “Ordering Information” on page E-1.
