Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The SMC6110L2 is a Fast Ethernet switch with eight 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports and two 1000BASE-T ports that operate in combination with two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots* (see Figure 1-1, Ports 9-10). The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
1 Introduction Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch 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.
1 Description of Hardware 1000BASE-T/SFP Ports These are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports with shared Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

Performance • • • • • • Transparent bridging Aggregate duplex bandwidth of up to 5.6 Gbps Switching table with a total of 8K MAC address entries Provides store-and-forward switching Wire-speed filtering and forwarding Supports flow control, using back pressure for half duplex and IEEE 802.
1 1-6 Introduction
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. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
2 Network Planning Application Examples The switch 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 switch 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 Edge Deployment With 8 1000 Mbps parallel bridging ports (i.e., 8 distinct collision domains), this switch can function as an efficient bridged node that is ideal for a meeting room environment. Zero noise makes the switch inobtrusive for such a setting. In the figure below, the SMC6110L2 is connected to a central wiring closet via a 1000BASE-SX connection. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports on the switch are providing 10/100 Mbps full-duplex connections for PCs and notebooks.
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. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. 3.
Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switch units 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 this 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 The 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). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets being bent by the weight of the switch. 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.
3 Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver 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. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 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.
3 Installing the Switch The SFP slots support the following optional SFP transceivers: • 1000BASE-SX • 1000BASE-LX • 1000BASE-LH To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. 2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation. 3.
Connecting to the Console Port 3 Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s back panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-driven configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The switch is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH 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 network 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 the section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
Twisted-Pair Devices 3. 4 Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. See “Cable Labeling and Connection Records” on page 4-7.
4 Making Network Connections Fiber Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-LH) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
4 Connectivity Rules 46 Figure 4-3 Making Fiber Port Connections 4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 4-6.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records 4 Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption. To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines: • Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Check connections between the switch, the power cord and the wall outlet. • Contact your dealer for assistance. Diag LED is Amber • Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition. • If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance. Link LED is Off • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
A Troubleshooting In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
