Getting to Know Your Switch

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.

1.1 Introduction

Your Switch is a layer 2+, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with two power slots for hot-swappable RPS300 or RPS600-HP power modules. The Switch provides four SFP or SFP+ slots for uplink. By integrating router functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching.

This User’s Guide covers the following models: GS3700-24, GS3700-24HP, GS3700-48, GS370048HP, XGS3700-24, XGS3700-24HP, XGS3700-48, and XGS3700-48HP.

With its built-in web configurator, including the ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management feature (Section 5.3 on page 46), viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its neighboring devices is easy. In addition, the Switch can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator program on the console port, or third-party SNMP management.

In addition, ZyXEL offers a proprietary software program called ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Utility, it is a utility tool that assists you to set up and maintain network devices in a more simple and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC. For more information on ZON Utility see Section 5.2 on page 45.

See the datasheet for a full list of software features available on the Switch.

1.1.1 Bridging Example

In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using the optional 10 Gigabit uplink module on the Switch.

1.1.2 High Performance Switching Example

The Switch is ideal for connecting two geographically dispersed networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, a company uses the optional 10 Gigabit uplink modules to connect the headquarters to a branch office network. Within the headquarters network, a company can use trunking to group several physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. Trunking can be used if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.

1.1.3 Gigabit Ethernet to the Desktop

The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks which demand high bandwidth for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch. Use the optional 10 Gigabit uplink module to provide high speed access to a data server and the Internet. The uplink module supports a fiber-optic connection which alleviates the distance limitations of copper cabling.

In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server and access the Internet. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers and so on.

1.1.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Example

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one or more groups. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.

GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide

21

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch

For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 7 on page 81.

1.1.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example

Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, thus increasing network performance by reducing broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.

Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to other VLAN groups too.

Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example

1.1.5 IPv6 Support

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. At the time of writing, the Switch supports the following features.

Static address assignment and stateless auto-configuration

Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network)

Remote Management using ping SNMP, telnet, HTTP and FTP services

ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as "ping”

IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time

DHCPv6 client and relay

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping and proxy

For more information on IPv6, refer to Appendix B on page 404 and the CLI Reference Guide.

1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.

GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide

22

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch

Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 35.

Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator and may be necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide.

FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 42.9 on page 349.

SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Section 43.3 on page 352.

1.3Good Habits for Managing the Switch

Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more effectively.

Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your last configuration.

Hardware Installation and Connection

This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.

2.1 Freestanding Installation

1Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.

2Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

3Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.

4Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.

5Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.

Figure 5 Attaching Rubber Feet

Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking.

Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.

Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.

2.3.1Precautions

Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains. The maximum weight a bracket can hold is 27 Kg.

Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

2.4 Attaching the Brackets to the Switch

Use the M4 screws (smaller than the rack screws) to attach the brackets to the Switch.

1Position the smaller front mounting bracket on one side of the Switch, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the Switch.

2Use a #2 Philips screwdriver to install the M4 screws with large heads through the mounting bracket holes into the Switch.

3Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second front mounting bracket on the other side of the Switch.

4Position a sliding rail on one side at the rear of the Switch, lining up the two screw holes on the sliding rail with the screw holes on the side of the Switch.

5Use a screwdriver to install the M4 screws with small heads through the sliding rail holes into the Switch.

3.1.1 Ethernet Ports

The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be both half or full duplex at 100 Mbps and full duplex only at 1000 Mbps.

An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.

An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.

3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Settings

The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:

Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

Speed: Auto

Duplex: Auto

Flow control: Off

Dual Personality Interface: Fiber-optic module first

3.1.2SFP/SFP+ Slots

These are four slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ modules, such as an SFP/SFP+ transceiver. The SFP+ (SFP Plus) is an enhanced version of the SFP and supports data rates of 10 Gbps. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.

Type: SFP or SFP+ connection interface

Connection speed: 1 or 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module’s connectors.

3.1.2.1 Transceiver Installation

Use the following steps to install a transceiver.

1Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down. Figure 8 Transceiver Installation Example

2Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.

3The Switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly.
