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
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
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.
The SSE-G2252 and SSE-G2252P are Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches with 48 10/
100/1000-BASE-T ports, and four additional SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1
below). The SSE-G2252P also provides PoE power to connected devices. The switches
also include an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and
out-of-band access for managing the switch.
Both switches provide a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching,
delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. They bring
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.

SSE-G2252/SSE-G2252P Switch Installation Manual
1-2Switch 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.
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.
1-3Network Management Options
With a comprehensive array of LEDs, the 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 RJ-45 serial port
(DB-9 connector) for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for
configuration and monitoring out-of-band via the supplied RJ-45 to RS232 (DB-9
connector) serial cable.
For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the Management Guide.
1-4Power-over-Ethernet
All of the SSE-G2252P's 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports support the IEEE 802.3at-2009
PoE standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in
the connecting Ethernet cable. The total PoE power delivered by all ports cannot exceed
the 400W power budget. This means that up to eleven ports can supply a maximum
34.2W of power simultaneously to connected devices, or all 48 ports can supply up to
8.3W simultaneously.
Any PoE-compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power 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 PoE-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and
dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using
the wire pairs in UTP or STP cable.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5Description of Hardware
Hardware descriptions are provided below.
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switch contains 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbp s, half or
full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. 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 supports 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.
SFP Transceiver Slots
The SFP transceiver slots on the SSE-G2252 and SSE-G2252P are not shared. These
are additional ports independent of the RJ-45 ports.
The following Table 1-1 shows a list of transceiver types which have been tested with
the switches. For an updated list of vendors supplying these transceivers, contact your
local dealer. For information on the recommended standards for fiber optic cabling, see
Section 7- 4 : "Fiber Standards" on page 7-6.

Grounding Point
To prevent accidental electrical shock or damage to your switch, it is recommended that
you ground the switch to an earth point by attaching a grounding wire (not supplied) to
the grounding point located next to the power inlet, with a metal screw. If located in a tall
building, grounding points include metal drain pipes, and other electrostatic conductive
devices that lead to the ground, or if located on the first floor of a building, the ground
outside itself.

System Safety
This chapter provides system safety procedures for use with both the SSE-G2252 and
SSE-G2252P switches. Please read and understand this information before installing
and using the switches.
2-1Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and
the switch from damage:
•Be aware of how to power on/off the as well as the room's emergency power-off
switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you
can then quickly remove power from the system.
•Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
•Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to
avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components
or circuit boards they come into contact with.
•Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as
electrical insulators.
2-1
SSE-G2252/SSE-G2252P Switch Installation Manual
2-2General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•Keep the area around the switch clean and free of clutter.
•Place the switch module cover and any system components that have been
removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
•While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be
pulled into a cooling fan.
•Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with
printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
•After accessing the inside of the system, replace the switch module's cover before
installing it back into the blade enclosure.
2-3Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit
boards.
The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before
contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until
ready for use.
•Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
•Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
•Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or contacts.
•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•Put the mainboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
•For grounding purposes, make sure the blade enclosure provides excellent
conductivity between the power supplies, the blade modules and the mainboard.
2-4Operating Precautions
Care must be taken to assure that the cover of the switch is in place when it is operating
to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the switch can occur if this practice
is not strictly followed.
