Power Cord Safety

Please read the following safety information carefully before

installing the switch:

WARNING: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel

only.

• The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with international

safety standards.

• Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an earth (ground)

connection.

• The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a

configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.

• The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove

power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

The SMC8926EM and SMC8950EM are intelligent multilayer switches (Layer 2, 3)

with 24/48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports

that are

shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24/45-48). The rear

panel provides two slots for single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet hot-swappable

expansion modules, and two stacking ports. Units can be stacked up to eight high

through the built-in stacking ports that provide a 50 Gbps stack backplane.

The switches include an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main

board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the stack.

These switches can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree

Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP routing. It brings order to poorly

performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with

IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multicast

switching and CoS services, and eliminates conventional router bottlenecks.

These switches can be used to augment or completely replace slow legacy routers,

off-loading local IP traffic to release valuable resources for non-IP routing or WAN

access. With wire-speed performance for Layer 2 and Layer 3, these switches can

significantly improve the throughput between IP segments or VLANs.

Switch Architecture

These Gigabit Ethernet switches employ a wire-speed, non-blocking switching

fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low

latency on all ports. The switches also feature full-duplex capability on all ports,

which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

For communications between different VLANs, these switches use IP routing. For

communications within the same VLAN, they use 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.

These switches include built-in stacking ports that enable up to eight units to be

connected together through a 48 Gbps stack backplane. The switch stack can be

managed from a master unit using a single IP address.

These switches also include two slots on the rear panel for slide-in single-port

10GBASE modules with XFP transceivers.

Network Management Options

These switches contain 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 you can manage the switches through a network

connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network

management software.

For a detailed description of both switches’ advanced features, refer to the Gigabit

Ethernet Switch Management Guide.
