ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100/1000
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.
The 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 switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. They also include a management
agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its
embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage
each switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
(out-of-band), or SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of switch’s advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE

Description of Hardware
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switch contains 24 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 the
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-5.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or
1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of
these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of that port can be configured manually.

SFP Slots
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with
four of the RJ-45 ports (ports 21-24). 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.

Port and Power Status LEDs
The switch includes a display panel for key system and port indications that

simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are
located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and
described in the following tables.

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 have, 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.

NETWORK PLANNING

Application Examples
The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is not only designed to segment your
network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network
connections and linking VLANs or IP subnets. Some typical applications
are described below.

Collapsed Backbone
The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 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 for up to 24 workstations or
servers. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct fullduplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for
further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the
Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, a Gigabit Ethernet port
on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the figure below, the 24-port switch is operating as a collapsed backbone
for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex
connections to workstations, 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to power
users, and 1 Gbps full-duplex connections to servers.

With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), this
switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged
node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports on the switch are
providing 1 Gbps full-duplex connections for up to 24 local segments. In
addition, the switch is also connecting remote servers over fiber optic
cable at 1 Gbps.

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 stack 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, and a 1000BASE-LX transceiver can
be used for high-bandwidth core connections between buildings in a
campus setting. For long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-ZX SFP
transceiver can be used to reach another site up to 100 kilometers away.
The figure below illustrates three TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 switch stacks
interconnecting multiple segments with fiber cable.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Making VLAN Connections
The switch supports VLANs that 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.

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 the switch directly to a multi-protocol
router.
3. As a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched
link should not exceed:
• 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber
• 1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3.1 miles) for single-mode fiber
• 1000BASE-ZX: 100 km (62.1 miles) for single-mode fiber
However, power budget constraints must also be considered when
calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

CHAPTER 3
INSTALLING THE SWITCH
Selecting a Site
TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 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 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and
its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing
- provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or 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,

To ensure proper operation when installing the switches into a network,
make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria
against the current installation of your network:
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP)
cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T,
Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for
1000BASE-T.
• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
• Electrical surge suppression
• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and
electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring
• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

MAKING NETWORK
CONNECTIONS
Connecting Network Devices
The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 units are designed to interconnect multiple
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. 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 support 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 “Cables” 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.

4-1

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 4-3.) 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 turns on to indicate that the connection is
valid.

TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES
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. See “Cable

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Fiber Optic SFP Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or
1000BASE-ZX) 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.
Warning: the switch use 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.
Note: 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.
Hinweis: Bei der Wahl eines Glasfasertransceivers muß für die
Beurteilung der Gesamtsicherheit beachtet werden, das die
maximale Umgebungstemperatur des Transceivers für den
Betrieb nicht niedriger ist als die für dieses Produkts. Der
Glasfasertransceiver muß auch ein überprüftes Gerät der Laser
Klasse 1 sein.
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.

4-4

FIBER OPTIC SFP DEVICES
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.

The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports
operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. 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.

4-5

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

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 802.3-2002 standards.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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 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.

APPENDIX B
CABLES
Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
For 10BASE-T/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.
Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.
Figure B-1 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.

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 the switch, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable.

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.”

B-5

CABLES
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.

Fiber Standards
The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A
specification on optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type
for horizontal subsystems and two cable types for backbone subsystems.
Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet).
Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single mode.

GLOSSARY
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for
network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the
data transmission along the cable.
Collision
A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each
other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the
communication method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit
Ethernet.
End Station
A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical
bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard
provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer
and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin
coax and twisted-pair cable.
