1. Introduction Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a cost-effective way for network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds without the use of expensive fiber optics cabling. Gigabit networks create high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases and end stations. The MIL-S8000G, an 8-Port Gigabit switch, is an ideal solution for solving traffic block at the core of the network.

2. Hardware Description Front Panel The Front Panel of the 8-Port Gigabit Switch consists of eight autonegotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors, supporting automatic MDI/MDIX, and four LED-indicators (1000M, 100M, LK/ACT, FUL/COL) for each Gigabit port. Console Port RJ-45 Gigabit Ports LEDs Figure 2-1. The Front Panel of the 8-Port Gigabit Switch RJ-45 Ports ( Auto MDI/MDIX ): Eight auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors.
LED Status Description Green Power On Power Off Power is not connected Green The port is operating at the speed of 1000Mbps. 1000M Off No device attached or in 10/100Mbps mode Green The port is operating at the speed of 100Mbps. 100M Off No device attached or in 10Mbps mode Green The port is connecting with the device. LK/ACT Blinks Off The port is receiving or transmitting data. No device attached. Yellow The port is operating in Full Duplex mode.
3. Installation Desktop Installation Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation. Attaching Rubber Feet A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust free. B. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet. Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-2. Attach mounting brackets with screws B. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the MIL-S8000G switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws. Figure 3-3. Mounting the MIL-S8000G in an EIA standard 19-inch Rack Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch.
4. Network Application The MIL-S8000G Switch can be used connect servers, switches, workstations, and PCs (a Gigabit 1000Base-T NIC is required for PC installation) to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The Switch automatically learns node addresses, which are used to filter and forward all traffic, based on the destination address. Backbone Switch The MIL-S8000G Switch is an ideal solution for enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed.
Workgroup A Workgroup B Figure 4-1. An example of a network connection, with the MIL-S8000G Switch acting as the core switch. This switch is an ideal solution for backbone connectivity. In the above example, servers, department switches, and workstations are directly connected to the core switch, the MIL-S8000G Switch.
5. Network Configuration The Console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the MIL-S8000G Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a male DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port. The Console configuration allows the switch to be set to enable a user at a remote console terminal to communicate with the MIL-S8000G Switch as if the console terminal were directly connected to it. Figure 5-1.
Login to the Console Interface When the connection between Switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal. Configure the communication parameters to match the following default characteristics of the console port: Baud Rate: 9600 bps Data Bits: 8 Parity: none Stop Bit: 1 Control flow: None Figure 5-2. The settings of communication parameters 5.1 Port Status Figure 5-3.
5.2 Port Configuration Figure 5-4. The Port Configuration menu Select each port to change the status, toggle the Enable / Disable field and enter the appropriate value in the Flow Control field.
5.3 Mirror Configuration Figure 5-5. The Device Configuration Setup menu Figure 5-6. The Device Configuration Setup menu By enabling port mirroring, the source port will be forwarded to the target port. Select either Enable or Disable by using the key.
5.4 VLAN Configuration Figure 5-7. The VLAN Configuration menu Assigning physical ports within a work group is a simple and common method of defining a virtual work group – VLAN. It delivers the benefit of broadcast control and simplifies configuration for the network manager. One advantage of the Port-Based VLAN is its simplicity and ease of configuration. Limited security, however, is its drawback – anyone can plug into the port and gain access to the VLAN.
5.5 VLAN Setup Figure 5-8. The VLAN Setup menu Select the VLAN entry to Enable or Disable the VLAN group. Use the key to Enable (add) or Disable (remove) ports in the VLAN group. 5.6 Trunk Configuration Figure 5-9. The Trunk Configuration menu Multiple links between switches can be grouped or trunked to work as one virtual, aggregate link. Each trunk can hold up to 2 ports. Only ports of the same speed can belong to a single trunk.
5.7 Miscellaneous Configuration Figure 5-10. The Misc. Configuration menu Select each port to change the status, toggle the Enable / Disable field and enter the appropriate value in the Aging Time field.
6. Troubleshooting This troubleshooting section is intended to help solve many common problems that might occur when installing the MIL-S8000G. The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems. Power If the power indicator does not light up when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet or power cord.
