2 Introduction to the ECN330-switch

2.1 Overview

The Ericsson ECN330-switch is an Ethernet Layer 3 switch that contains 24

100BASE-TX ports, and 3 1000BASE-T ports, two of which are combo ports —

1000BASE-T RJ45 ports with associated Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)

transceiver slots that operate as an alternate media connection.

The ECN330-switch is used as second level aggregation switch in the EDA

network.

As well as its Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, the ECN330-switch provides

comprehensive network management features, such as Spanning Tree

Protocol, multicast switching, virtual LANs, IP routing, and Layer 2/3/4 CoS

services that provide reliability and consistent performance for network traffic.

2.1.1 Switch Architecture

The ECN330-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 ECN330-switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports,

which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

For communications within the same VLAN, the ECN330-switch uses store-and-

forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With this type of 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. For communications between different VLANs, the ECN330-switch

also performs store-and-forward checking on each packet crossing the switch,

routing traffic at wire speed using RIP or OSFP for unicast traffic, and DVMRP

or PIM for multicast traffic.

2.1.2 Management Options

The ECN330-switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”

monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that

enables configuration and monitoring of the ECN330-switch using its embedded

management software or through SNMP applications. The ECN330-switch can

be managed by making a direct connection to the RS-232 console port or by

connecting to the switch through a network connection using Telnet or network

management software.

For a detailed description of the ECN330-switch’s management features, see

section 4 on page 21.

2.1.2.1 Management of ECN330 and ECN330-switch

The ECN330 includes a Single Board Computer (SBC) and an ECN330-switch.

The SBC is connected to the Gigabit Ethernet port 28 of the ECN330-switch.

When the SBC is enabled (see “Enabling the SBC to Access Advanced

Management Tools” on page 74), the SBC provides a management proxy

functionality, where management of embedded nodes including the ECN330-

switch is done by the SBC which is managed by PEM. Note that when the SBC

is enabled, the console interface is set to SBC display mode.

When the SBC is disabled, the ECN330 runs in ECN330-switch mode.

2.2 Hardware Description

2.2.1 Power-over-Ethernet Ports

All of the 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports support PoE capability and

can supply up to 23.1 W per port to connected EDA nodes.

The PoE enables DC power to be supplied to the connected nodes through the

Ethernet cable. IP DSLAMs attached to a port can directly draw power from the

ECN330-switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring a separate power

source. The ECN330-switch automatically detects an EDA node by its

authenticated PoE signature and senses its required load before turning on DC

power to the port. An electrical port of ESN108 (which is also a PoE node) can

also be connected to the ECN330-switch. The sense circuit in both nodes

(ECN330 and ESN108) will sense that no power is required. This detection

mechanism also prevents damage to other network equipment that is not an

EDA node.

The ECN330-switch delivers power to the IP DSLAM using the two wire pairs in

UTP or STP CAT 5 cable that are not used for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX

connections (for details see the ECN330 Installation Guide). Each line is 100%

individually controlled with an auto-detect circuit that opens up if a load within

the EDA-specified range is detected, and shuts down if the load exceeds the

limit of 23.1 W. Each line is filtered for surge currents and has a 4 ms backup

reservoir, should short voltage dropouts occur.

The ECN330-switch can provide up to 600 mA continuously on each 10/100

Mbps port, or up to 23.1 W of power. However, taking into account some power

loss over the cable run, the amount of power that can be delivered to an EDA

node is about 21 W. If a device draws more than 625 mA from a port, an overload

condition occurs and the port turns off the power.

These ports also support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so straight-through

cables can be used for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other

switches or hubs.

The ports also support auto-negotiation, so the optimal transmission mode

(half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps), or flow control method

(IEEE 802.3x, Back-Pressure or none) 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 by default be half duplex.

Introduction to the ECN330-switch

8 1553-KDU 137 365 Uen D 2006-06-16

Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the ECN330-switch

can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

The ECN330-switch controls the power and data on a port independently. Power

can be requested from a device that already has a data link to the ECN330-

switch-switch. In addition, the ECN330-switch can supply power to a device even

if the port's data connection has been disabled. The power on a port is

continuously monitored by the ECN330-switch and it will be turned off as soon

as a device connection is removed.

Note: The 1000BASE-T RJ45 ports do not support PoE capability.

2.2.2 1000BASE-T RJ45 Ports and SFP Slots

The ECN330 contains two combo Gigabit RJ45 ports with shared Small Form

Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (Ports 25-26). 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 RJ45 port is disabled and cannot

be used. The ECN330-switch can also be configured to force the use of an

RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

SFP is a new specification for compact, modular transceivers that are hot

swappable. The SFP slots support 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX,

1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH transceivers for fiber optic connections to

remote devices.

The ECN330 also contains one independent 1000BASE-T RJ45 port (Port 27)

that operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full

duplex. Because all of the Gigabit RJ45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X

operation, straight-through cables can be used for all network connections to

PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (For more information, refer to the

ECN330 Installation Guide.)

The 1000BASE-T RJ45 ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum

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.

Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the ECN330-switch

can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

Note: The 1000BASE-T RJ45 ports do not support PoE capability.

2.2.3 Power Supply Input Connectors

The dual power supply input connectors are located on the front panel of the

ECN330. The standard power supply for the ECN330 is -48 VDC, which includes

protection through a disposable fuse on the rear panel. Power redundancy can

be established by connecting both power inputs.
