Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000, SMC8126PL2-F, is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 26 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports* that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24). The switch’s 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices over wire pairs in the connecting Ethernet cable.
1 Introduction Switch Architecture The SMC8126PL2-F employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It 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.
Description of Hardware 1 Description of Hardware 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports The SMC8126PL2-F contains 26 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on this switch 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-3.

Pressing this button changes from one display mode to the other. The default display mode is Link/Act/Speed mode.
1 Introduction Features and Benefits Connectivity • 26 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment. • Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually. • RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. These switches have, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
2 Network Planning Application Examples The SMC8126PL2-F is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The SMC8126PL2-F is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
Application Examples 2 Network Aggregation Plan With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), a switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through Layer 2 switches. In addition, the switches are also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps. Server Farm 10/100/1000 Mbps Segments ... ...
2 Network Planning Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 100 km. This allows a switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
Application Examples 2 Making VLAN Connections This switch support VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs.
2 Network Planning Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach these switches directly to a multi-protocol router. 3.
Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site The SMC8126PL2-F can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. • The site should: - be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
3 Installing the Switch RJ-45 Connector Figure 3-1 RJ-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpacking the switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Mounting 3 Mounting This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: • Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (See page C-1.
3 2. Installing the Switch Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 3-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 3-4 Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2.
Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver 3 3. If installing a single switch only, go to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. 4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver Figure 3-5 Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot The switch supports 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-ZX SFP-compatible transceivers.
3 Installing the Switch Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the socket located at the back of the device. Figure 3-6 Power Socket 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source. Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country. 3.

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The SMC8126PL2-F is designed to interconnect multiple network segments (or collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional SFP transceivers. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
4 Making Network Connections Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See "Network Wiring Connections" on page 4-2.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
