COMPLIANCES
FCC - Class A
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the
user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference. You are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void your authority to operate the equipment.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for RJ-45
connections—Category 3 or greater for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100
Mbps connections and Category 5 or 5e for 1000 Mbps connections. Use 50/125 or
62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable, or 9/125 micron single-mode cable,
for SFP transceiver connections.
Warnings: 1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to
prevent electrostatic discharge when handling this equipment.
2. When connecting this switch to a power outlet, connect the field
ground lead on the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground
line to prevent electrical hazards.

ABOUT THE SWITCH
Overview
This switch is an ideal solution for delivering Internet access to
individual users in multi-dwelling or multi-tenant units (MDUs/
MTUs), such as apartment housing blocks, commercial buildings
or hotels. This switch provides rate-limitable connections to
individual users with secure port-to-port isolation between users
– all with conventional Ethernet cabling and adapters. At an
MDU/MTU site, up to 24 other switches can be cascaded from
one switch, providing broadband Internet access for up to 24
individual users on each switch.

Switch Architecture
The switch contains 24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports on the
front panel. Each port can provide a dedicated link directly to an
end-user PC, or be attached to another Ethernet switch/hub at
the end-user’s premises and used as a shared link. The switch
completely eliminates the bottlenecks of dial-up internet access
by offering a configurable bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps full
duplex for each end-user connection. For all port connections, the
switch’s 8.8 Gbps bandwidth capacity is more than enough to
handle even the most demanding environments.
Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed
and communication mode for each connection. With
store-and-forward switching and flow control, maximum data
integrity is always maintained, even under heavy loading.
This switch includes two port: 1000BASE-SX and RJ-45. These
ports allow users the flexibility to use either fiber or copper
media.
The switch also supports a stacking module that can be installed
into slot M1. The stacking module allows up to eight units to be
linked together and managed from one unit using one IP address.
Management Options
This switch 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 the switch, you can make a
direct connection to the RS-232 console port (out-of-band), or you
can manage the switch through a network connection (in-band)
using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or Windows-based
network management software.
O
VER VI E W
February 2003 © 2003 Foundry Networks, Inc. 2-3
The management agent provides a wide range of advanced
performance-enhancing features. Port-based VLANs provide
traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS
priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for
mo v in g
real-time multimedia data through the switch. Flow control
eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port
saturation. Port security is provided to filter unwanted traffic
from the switch.
Some of the switch’s advanced features are described below. For
a detailed description, refer to the Foundry EdgeIron User Guide.
VLANs
This switch supports up to 255 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a
collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain
regardless of their physical location or connection point in the
network. By segmenting your network into VLANs, you can:
Eliminate broadcast storms which severely degrade
performance in a flat network.
Simplify network management for node changes/moves by
remotely configuring VLAN membership for any port, rather
than having to manually change the node’s physical
connection.
Provide data security by restricting all traffic to the
originating VLAN, except where a connection is explicitly
defined via the switch’s routing service.
This switch supports Private VLANs as an extension of the
common VLAN. Private VLANs can be used to provide
port-based security and isolation between ports within a VLAN.
Private VLANs deliver per port security, requiring only one
VLAN on every switch, not every port. This feature greatly
A
BOUT
THE
S
WI TCH
2-4 © 2003 Foundry Networks, Inc. February 2003
minimizes the total number of VLANs required. Private VLANs
and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously in the same switch.
Multicast Switching
Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to
ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and
to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority
level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping.
Traffic Priority
This switch provides Quality of Service (QoS) by prioritizing
each packet based on the required level of service, using four
distinct categories with Weighted Round Robin queuing. It uses
IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q tags to prioritize incoming traffic based
on input from the end-station application. These functions can be
used to provide independent priorities for delay-sensitive data
and best-effort data.
Description of Hardware
RJ-45 Ports
The switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45
ports. All of these 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. (See
“10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page -2.)
Each of these ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation, so the
optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate
(10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically, if this feature is
also supported by the attached device. If a device connected to
one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the correct
speed will be sensed by the port, but the transmission mode will
