11 I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high - speed LAN[...]

8 Switching Technology Another approach to push ing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast E thernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost - effective way of increasing the total [...]

13 Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement ove r the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Toda y switches are an ideal solution to mos[...]

8 upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hu bs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store - and - forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each [...]

8 Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its pe r formance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See A p pendix B for the acceptable temperature and humidity opera t ing ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electroma g netic field gene[...]

17 Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard - size, 19 - inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. A t tach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws. Then, use screws provided with the equipme nt rack to mount each switch in the r[...]

8 Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the switch. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.[...]

24 C ONNECTING T HE S WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ - 45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 16 ports (1x - 16x) for the 16 P ort model, 24[...]

23 via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. The connection is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI - II) port to any port of the Switch (MDI - X) ports. A. 10BASE - T Hub For a 10BASE - T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: “10/100M FDX, 10/100M COL” LED indicator is OFF. “100M LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED[...]

24 Switch to Switch (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. A. Using straight cable When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink (MDI - II) port of other Switch to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (AUTO MD I [...]

23 Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the sel ected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto - negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted - pair connection: If the attached device does not support auto - negotiation or has auto - negotiation disabled , an auto - sensing process is i nitiated to select the spee[...]
