FX-2116/2124TE

The FX-2116TE/2124TE are Gigabit Ethernet Switches that fully comply

with IEEE802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX as well as

IEEE802.3ab 1000BASE-T standards.

The products come standard with 1)16/24 RJ-45 STP ports for

10/100BASE-TX and 2)two RJ-45 STP ports for 1000BASE-T

connectivity. The RJ-45 ports automatically detect both data transfer speed

(100/10Mbps, or 1000/100/10Mbps for 1000BASE-T port) and duplex

mode (full/half duplex) via Auto-Negotiation. Furthermore, the

1000BASE-T ports automatically recognize both straight and cross-over

cable types via Auto MDI/MDI-X. The status LED°¶s on each port enable

quick verification of the current operational status of the switches.

The switches also support VLAN and Trunking. Up to 18/26 port-based

VLAN groups can be configured on the products, while the Tr u n k i n g

feature allows two to eight ports to be "bundled" into one Trunk that

connects to another device enabling data communication at a maximum rate

of 4,000 Mbps.

Switching schemes

Most switching hubs support one of the following switching schemes: Cut

Through and Store-and-Forward. In Cut Through switching, any incoming

(and thus received) packet is sent to one of the ports immediately after its

destination address is discerned. Since packets themselves are not

inspected, some error packets may leave the switch among normal packets.

In contrast, Store-and-Forward technology first stores a received packet in

an internal packet buffer and checks for length and CRC. Error packets are

dropped at this stage, and only normal packets are transmitted. The FX-

2116TE/2124TE Switching Hubs support Store-and-Forward.

Supports Flow Control

The Switch supports an advanced feature called "Flow Control" to prevent

packets from overflowing the packet buffer. The flow control technology

used in half-duplex mode is called "Back Pressure", while the flow control

used in full-duplex operation is called "IEEE 802.3x". In Back Pressure, a

collision signal is sent out whenever the packet buffer becomes full. On the

other hand, a switching hub with IEEE 802.3x support transmits a "pause"

command to the source node to stop the data flow itself.

Limitations on Cascading Hubs

Generally, repeater hubs can cascade only up to four stages for 10BASE-T

and two stages for 100BASE-TX. This limitation does not apply to a

switching hub because each port on the switch has its own collision domain.

For this reason, switching hubs can expand an existing network without

using relatively more expensive routers or bridges.

Equipped with these advanced features, the switching hub can provide much

greater network traffic efficiency and expandability compared with ordinary

repeater hubs.

FX-2116/2124TE

How Switching Hubs differ from Repeater Hubs

Ordinary repeater hubs transmit data to all ports, even when only one port

needs the data. Consequently, the overall network traffic increases, slowing

down communications on the network itself. Moreover, repeater hubs

require that all ports share the same bandwidth; a collision occurs when

multiple packets are transmitted simultaneously. To counter these problems,

the switching hub learns the destination address (MAC address of the device

attached to each port) and sends data only to the port that leads to the

destination node. All the MAC addresses are recorded in a storage area

called

address table . This scheme prevents the data from being sent to

other ports, thereby reducing network load. A switching hub thus allows

more efficient communication among computers on the network.

1-4 Repeater Hub vs. Switching Hub

Switching Technology

FX-2116/2124TE

1-5 Sample VLAN Layout

In the sample VLAN configuration above, Groups A and B can

communicate with the server without using a router. Furthermore, packets

are NOT forwarded between Groups A and B, allowing the user to establish

a highly secure network with ease.

Broadcast Packet

This packet is received by all devices on a network. VLAN and routers can

limit the amount of broadcast packets allowed in a given network.

Collision Domain

In a network that employs repeater hubs, a collision of packets may take

place when two or more devices on the network transmit a packet at the

same time. The portion of a network that shares the same collision signal is

called a "collision domain". In a switching hub, each port is assigned to a

separate collision domain. (In other words, a collision domain is divided

into multiple smaller collision domains.) In addition, certain limitations on

node-to-node distance and cascade connection apply to nodes within the

same collision domain.

FX-2116/2124TE

The VLAN feature of the switch lightens traffic on a network and

strengthens network security, all by dividing the original broadcast domain

into smaller groups. Ports on the Switch are divided and grouped into

several VLAN groups. Each VLAN group acts as a separate small domain,

and packets being sent in one VLAN group (including broadcast packets)

are not transmitted to other VLAN groups. This feature gives the following

advantages to the Switch over other switching hub products:

Improved Networking Efficiency

By separating nodes in a high-traffic work group into multiple smaller

groups, the existing broadcast domain is divided into smaller domains and

prevents packets from being sent to other (small) workgroups. Since

unnecessary data transmission to other workgroups is eliminated,

networking efficiency over the entire network improves considerably.

Enhances Security

Network communication among VLAN groups is logically disabled.

Therefore, confidential documents or data can be contained in one specific

VLAN group of users who are authorized to handle the information.

Cost Reduction

With the VLAN support, the Switch can create multiple domains all by

itself; there is no need to obtain expensive and hard-to-configure routers to

do the job.

Each of the 16/24 switch ports on the FX-2116TE/2124TE Switching Hubs

can be assigned to up to 18/26 VLAN groups. For more information on

configuring VLAN, refer to Chapter 3.

About VLAN

FX-2116/2124TE

In Trunk or Trunking, several ports are bundled into one high-throughput

t r u n k to allow the FX-2116TE/2124TE and another switch to

communicate at 4,000Mbps maximum (full-duplex 2000Mbps x 2). High-

throughput trunk(s) can boost the speed of data transfers between cascaded

hubs - something that has always been regarded as a bottleneck in any

network. On the FX-2116/2124TE, 1)1 trunk consisting of two

1000BASE-T ports and 2)up to 4/6 trunks each of which consisting of two

to eight 10/100BASE ports and can be configured.

1-7 Trunking

FX-2116/2124TE

Broadcast Domain

Although a collision domain is divided by each of the ports on the Switch, a

broadcast packet is still sent to all ports, regardless of collision domain

d i fferences. The portion of a network that receives a broadcast packet is

called a "broadcast domain". Normally, a router is used to divide one

broadcast domain into multiple domains.

1-6 Collision Domain and Broadcast Domain

Trunking

While the FX-2116TE/2124TE function as desktop switches, they can be

also mounted to any standard 19

rack as well. Before proceeding, please

take a minute to review the safety guidelines described in the Safety

Instructions above. Also, be sure to follow the additional guidelines below.

Do not place the product in a damp or wet location.

Always avoid dust and dirt.

Do not install the product in an area exposed to direct sunlight.

Allow some space between the product and the surroundings to facilitate

dissipation of heat generated inside the hub.

Warning:

An accumulation of dust or dirt on the sides of the product or in the air

vents on the rear panel may prevent sufficient heat dissipation. Periodically

inspect these sections of the product and remove any dirt by a vacuum

cleaner, etc.

Installation

Environmental Requirements

FX-2116/2124TE

Note:

1. Use crossover cables to connect hubs via trunk(s). (Do not use straight-

through cables.)

2. Be sure to match ports in a trunk in increasing order.

Example: Port 1 and 2 in Trunk 1 of Hub A need to be linked to the

corresponding ports in Trunk 1 of Hub B.

Hub A Trunk 1 (Port 1,2) <-> Hub B Trunk 1 (Port 1,2)

--> Matching order: 1-1, 2-2

3. Even when two ports are assigned to a trunk, only one of them may be

actually in use if less than two devices are attached to the Switch. For

instance, only one of the two ports will be used if only one device is

attached to each of the

trunked two switches.

FX-2116/2124TE
