CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
1.1 Introduction
Your Switch is an intelligent layer 2 switch with 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and miniGBIC slots (GS1510-24 only) for fiber-optic transceivers.
• The GS1510-16 has 16 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports.
• The GS1510-24 has 24 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, and two SFP open slots.
With its built-in Web Configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy.
The Switch can operate in low power idle mode in compliance with IEEE 802.3az
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). See Chapter 25 on page 151 for a full list of
software features available on the Switch.
1.1.1 Backbone Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be
expected in the near future. The Switch can be used standalone 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.
GS1510 Series User’s Guide
19
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To
expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches,
routers, computers, print servers etc.
Figure 1 Backbone Application
1.1.2 Bridging Example
In this example application 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 a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC port on the
Switch.
Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network
managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.
Figure 2 Bridging Application
20
GS1510 Series User’s Guide
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1.3 High Performance Switching Example
The Switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the
following example, use trunking to connect these two networks.
Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode)
is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing
Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex
maintenance. The Switch can provide the same bandwidth as ATM at much lower
cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the
current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with
each other.
Figure 3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.1.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
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 group.
A station can belong to more than one group. 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.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 10 on page 63.
1.1.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus
increase network performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups
can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any recabling.
GS1510 Series User’s Guide
21
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
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 on the Switch can belong to other VLAN groups too.
Figure 4 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.2 Good 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.

CHAPTER 2
Hardware Installation and
Connection
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.
2.1 Freestanding Installation
1 Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
2 Set 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.
3 Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and
the attachment of cables and the power cord.
4 Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5 Attach 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
GS1510 Series User’s Guide
23
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when
stacking.
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.
2.2 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
This section lists the rack mounting requirements and precautions and describes
the installation steps.
2.2.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements
• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.2.1.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment
it contains.
• Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or topheavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before
installing the unit.
2.2.2 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch
1 Position a 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.
Figure 6 Attaching the Mounting Brackets

GS1510 Series User’s Guide
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M3 flat head screws through the
mounting bracket holes into the Switch.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second mounting bracket on the other side of
the Switch.
4 You may now mount the Switch on a rack. Proceed to the next section.
2.2.3 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
1 Position a mounting bracket (that is already attached to the Switch) on one side of
the rack, lining up the two screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the
side of the rack.
Figure 7 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
2 Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M5 flat head screws through the
mounting bracket holes into the rack.

DESCRIPTION
Connect these Gigabit Ethernet ports to high-bandwidth backbone network
Ethernet switches or use them to daisy-chain other switches.
Use mini-GBIC transceivers in these slots for fiber-optic connections to
backbone Ethernet switches.
3.1.1 Ethernet Ports
The GS1510-16 has 16 auto-negotiating, auto-crossover RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
ports.
The GS1510-24 has 24 auto-negotiating, auto-crossover RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
ports.
The speed of the Gigabit Ethernet ports can be 10 Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps
and the duplex mode can be half duplex (at 100 Mbps) or full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed
(100/1000Mpbs) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected
device.7
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straightthrough or crossover Ethernet cable.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
3.1.2 Mini-GBIC Slots
There are two mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots for mini-GBIC
transceivers on GS1510-24. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a
transmitter and a receiver. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must
use transceivers that comply with the 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 connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
Note: 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 mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1 Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing
down.

3.1.3 The RESET Button
Reset the Switch to its factory default configuration via the RESET button. Press
the RESET button for at least five seconds and then release. The Switch
automatically reboots and reloads its factory default configuration file. The RESET
button is on the front panel of the Switch.
Note: When you use the RESET button all of your configuration settings will be lost.
Use the default IP address (192.168.1.1) and user name (admin) and password
(1234) to log back into the Switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for the Switch to
restart when you reload the default configuration file.
