Overview
The SM24-100SFP-AH is an intelligent switch with 24 100BASE SFP transceiver
1
slots, two Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of a RJ-45 port and an SFP
transceiver slot and 2 Gigabit stacking ports. There is also an SNMP-based
management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band
and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching,
delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. It brings
order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast
domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia
applications with multicast switching and CoS services.

Introduction
1
Switch Architecture
The SM24-100SFP-AH switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.
This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on
all ports. This 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.
With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer
and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being
propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
The SM24-100SFP-AH contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that
allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management
software, or via SNMP applications. To manage a switch, you can make a direct
connection to the RJ-45 console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a
network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or
Windows-based network management software.
For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.
Description of Hardware
SFP Slots
The SM24-100SFP-AH switch contains 24 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver slots that operate at 100 Mbps full duplex. These slots support 100 Mbps
SFP Fast Ethernet transceivers. The supported transceiver types are listed below:
•
•
•
SFP 100FX Multimode LC and optionally MTRJ
SFP 100FX Single Mode LC
SFP 100BX Single Mode LC Bidirectional Single Fiber (1550 nm / 1310 nm)
This switch also has two Gigabit SFP transceiver slots shared with two RJ-45 ports
(Ports 26 and 28). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased
separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the associated RJ-45
port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the
use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.
Console Port
The RJ-45 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for
out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be
accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.

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.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access
point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the device
experiencing congestion (server, power user, or hub) can be attached directly to a
switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated
segment can be doubled to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end
stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count
back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable
segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this
limitation.
A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet
network to significantly boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and
network cards.

Application Examples
The SM24-100SFP-AH 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 in the following pages.
Collapsed Backbone
The SM24-100SFP-AH is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and
Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections to
workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to
another switch using one of the SFP ports or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in
SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN.
It is providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and
1000 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.

With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the switch can
collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the SFP ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity
through layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at
1000 Mbps.

Remote Connection 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-LH link up to 70 km. This
allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for
a widespread LAN.
A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between
floors in the same building, a 1000BASE-LX SFP transciever can be used to
connect to other buildings in a campus setting, and a 1000BASE-LH SFP
transceiver can be used for a long-haul connection to a remote site.
The figure below illustrates the switch connecting multiple segments with fiber cable.

Making VLAN Connections
The SM24-100SFP-AH supports 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. Untagged VLANs can be used for small
networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for
larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links.
This switch also supports multiple spanning trees which allow VLANs groups to
maintain a more stable path between all VLAN members. This can reduce the
overall amount of protocol traffic crossing the network, and provide a shorter
reconfiguration time if any link in the spanning tree fails.

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. For fiber optic cable lengths, see “Supported SFP Transceivers” on page C-1.

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.
•
be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F) and its
humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing
•
provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air
flow
•
•
be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices
allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
•
Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and
transmitters.
• Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC,
50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge
suppressor is recommended.
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.

Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment
If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment
available:
•
•
Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are not
included
A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)
Mounting
The switch units 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 D-2.)
•
•
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not
overloaded.
•
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the mains.
To rack-mount devices:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket
Mounting Kit.

The switch supports 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-BX, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX,
1000BASE-LH and other SFP-compatible transceivers.
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. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off
before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the
network cable before removing a transceiver.
Note: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.

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 socket type in your
country.
3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power
LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.
4. If you have purchased a Redundant Power Unit, connect it to the switch and to
an AC power source now, following the instructions included with the package.
Connecting to the Console Port
The RJ-45 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections
Connecting Network Devices
The SM24-100SFP-AH is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision
domains) using optional SFP transceivers. It can be connected to network cards in
PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. Two combination
1000BASE-T/SFP ports provide the uplink connection from the switch to other
switches or routers at the central office.
Twisted-Pair Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors
at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category
5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T
connections.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration,
so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other
network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the
switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to
FCC standards.
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
4-1
Making Network Connections
4
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.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in
length.
3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid.
Note: 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.
Network Wiring Connections
Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment
racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the
wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.
1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other
end to the patch panel.
2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the
patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a
modular wall outlet.
3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.

Fiber Optic SFP Devices
An optional SFP transceiver (100BASE-FX, 100BASE-BX, 1000BASE-SX,
1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH) can be used for a backbone connection between
switches, or for connecting to a server or PC.
Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber
optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. Each single-mode fiber port
requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both
ends.
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are
compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently
eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.
Warning: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that it
can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum
operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP transceiver.
1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber
cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by
wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the light
transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to
the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can
be attached in only one orientation.
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.
4-3
Making Network Connections

The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Fast Ethernet speed will
depend on the fiber type as listed under “100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Collision Domain”
on page 4-5. 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 4-4.
Connectivity Rules
When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules
listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break
up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not
include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length
involving other devices.
1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is
recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The
Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations
for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for
running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standards.

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.
• Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all
network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices
to which it is connected.
• Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the
switch ports.
• For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to
your cable labeling.
• Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.
• Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.
• Label each separate piece of equipment.
• Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all abbreviations at each
equipment rack.

Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on
the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the
problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.
Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other
components are functioning properly.
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. Also, be sure the port through which
you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled,
then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the
switch.
Caution: The management agent can accept up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. If
the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional Telnet
connection will not be able to log into the system.
A-2
Appendix B: Cables
Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a 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: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation.
Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This will damage the
switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with
FCC standards.
The figure below illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be
sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the
pins.
8

Figure B-1. RJ-45 Connector Pin Numbers
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit 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. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of
the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of
the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable.

Straight-Through Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal
crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When
auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support
Gigabit Ethernet connections.

1000BASE-T Pin Assignments
All 1000BASE-T 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.
The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports
require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T
operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive.

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk
(NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing information is specified in
the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test
parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These
tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional
Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables
between switches and end devices.
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for
1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and
correct the problem:
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or
Category 6 cables.
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
