Ethernet Switch Planning

Choosing an Ethernet Switch

Each manufacturer will have dierent processes and procedures to enable these required funcons. The required

funcons may have a slightly dierent name by manufacturer. Finally, some lesser known brands of switches may

have limited support for the funcons required. See page 6 for "Approved Network Switches" for reference to

switches that have been tested and veried to work with Digitalinx IP networks.

In A/V networking, the Ethernet switches must support the following funcons:

If the system design requires mulple switches, the switches must support the following addional funcons:

• Mulcast forwarding or ltering

• IGMP Snooping

• IGMP Querier

• IGMP Snooping Fast Leave

• Dynamic Mulcast Router Port

• Forwarding Unknown Mulcast to Mulcast Router Port Only

Basic Ethernet Switch Conguraon Sengs

Below is a list of basic Ethernet sengs for L2/L3 switches that can be used to congure switches for Digitalinx IP

devices.

Dynamic mulcast router port Disabled Disabled Enabled

Forward unknown mulcast Disabled Disabled Enabled

Jumbo frame Disabled Disabled Disabled

Calculang System Bandwidth

The Digitalinx IP 2000/2100 Series ulizes the h.264 compression codec to deliver video resoluons up to 1080p.

Data rates per encoding stream is set to a default of 30 Mbps which will require a gigabit Ethernet switch however

Variable bit rate (VBR) is supported and the bit rate can be adjusted to 5 Mbps per encoder if necessary. When

calculang bandwidth for the A/V LAN, mulply 30 Mbps per encoding video stream to determine your maximum

bandwidth requirement, the decoders in an Digitalinx IP system will not impact bandwidth.

Example: (8) 1080p sources are used with (8) IPEX2001 / IPEX2101 encoders therefore:

8 * 30 Mbps = 240 Mbps, this is your maximum bandwidth required by this series

Compare this bandwidth requirement to the switching capacity of the network switch to determine if the switch is

appropriate.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Overview

Over the years, the PoE standard has developed into two versions: IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at:

A PoE system consists of Power Source Equipment (PSE) and Powered Device (PD).

• A PSE is a device such as a PoE Ethernet switch that will provide the PD with power over the Ethernet cable.

The PSE will also manage the power requirements for the aached devices.

• A PD is a device powered by a PSE. Examples include Digitalinx IP encoders and decoders, as well as wireless

access points. The electric modules that receive power from the PSE are called PD modules.

• IEEE 802.3af states that the PSE must provide 15.4 was of DC power at the port in order to guarantee

12.95 was of DC power will be available to the PD.

• IEEE 802.3at Type 1 uses the same power requirements as IEEE 802.3af. IEEE 802.3at Type 2, known as

PoE+ or PoE Plus, provides up to 32 was of DC power at the port in order to guarantee 25.5 was of DC

power will be available to the PD.

NOTE: Digitalinx IP devices support PoE and do not require PoE+.

Choosing a PoE Switch

When choosing a PoE switch, pay close aenon to the power budget of the Ethernet switch and how it would

allocate the PoE power budget in the A/V LAN design.

In the current market, many PoE Ethernet switches may be unable to provide enough power on all ports

simultaneously if power is allocated per port @ 15.4 was. Typically Digitalinx IP devices typically require 7-9 was

of PoE power and do not consume the full 15.4 was of PoE power on each port for power. Some network switches

allows for actual consumpon and may be able to provide power for every port depending on PoE budget.

Cabling

Full consideraon of cable power consumpon (line loss) was taken when IEEE created the PoE standards. The

calculaon for total line loss is not necessary when using qualied Category 5e or greater cables. Low quality cables

may prevent a PoE switch from providing adequate power to a PD.

Liberty AV recommends Cat6 solid core UTP cabling be used for all cabling runs to DigitalinxIP devices.

In order for the Digitalinx IP Control soware on an iPad to connect to the IP video network, it is necessary to deploy

a wireless access point (WAP) on the A/V network. Set up an SSID and password for connecvity but Internet access

for the WAP is not required.

Using a router with Digitalinx IP devices is not necessary because the IP video devices do not require Internet access

or a DHCP server to assign addresses to the Digitalinx IP encoders and decoders. By default Digitalinx IP devices uses

Automac Private IP Addressing (APIPA) to assign IP addresses to encoders and decoders which is uses the network

ID of 169.254/16 or 169.254.x.x / subnet 255.255.0.0.

A router however can be used with Digitalinx IP devices to be used as a DHCP server, once the Digitalinx IP system

has been inially congured they can be set to DHCP to work with the routers DHCP server.

Below is a detailed list of network switches and hardware network conguraons that the performance has been

tested and veried for use with h.264 / 2000 / 2100 Series Digitalinx IP systems.

Note: When uplinking switches together in a mul switch architecture, 1G (minimum) or 10G high speed ports must

be used to make the connecons from switch to switch otherwise data throughput issues will be present causing a

severe degradaon in video and audio quality in the system. If you need assistance with implemenng the proper

network topology for 2000/2100 series contact the Liberty AV team or your sales rep.

Mulple Switch Networking

Cascading Network Switches

In a mul switch environment, two or more switches may be uplinked together to become one large A/V network.

There are two methods that we address in this conguraon guide; cascading and stacking.

Cascading refers to connecng two switches together using Category or ber cable jumpers and managing each

switch separately.

Stacking refers to connecng switchers together using ber jumpers and managing the enre network with the

core or main switch. Some network switches gives you the ability to stack and some do not. In this guide there are

switches that may or may not allow managing stacking conguraons.

Below is an example of two 24 port network switches cascaded together with one Category cable jumper connecng

one (1) 1Gb port on the CORE switch to (1) 1Gb port on the EXTENDED switch. In this conguraon guide there are

separate conguraons for the core and extended switch when cascading switches together.

NOTE: For ease of deployment and management of the cascaded switches, it is suggested that you set up each

switch individually rst and address each switch with a separate IP address so there are no IP conicts when you

need to make adjustments to either switch once they have been uplinked together as one network. In the example

below, the core and extended switches have been addressed separately so the web interfaces can be accessed

simultaneously if necessary.

BANDWIDTH CONCERNS: When cascading switches with a Category cable as shown in the example below be sure

the uplink bandwidth is sucient. In this example this is a 21x23 A/V network, if we do a bandwidth calculate (21

encoders * 30Mbps = 630Mbps) we nd that the uplink is sucient to handle the trac. If deploying larger A/V

networks on larger switches such as 48 port switches if may be necessary to stack the switches using high speed

10Gb SFP ports if the calculated bandwidth exceeds the 1Gb uplink using 1Gb ports. Check the network switches

manufacturers specicaons to conrm the high speed ports capabilies.

Stacking Network Switches

Below is an example of two switches stacked together with one Fiber cable jumper. In this conguraon guide there

are separate conguraons for the core and extended switch when stacking switches together however when using

a stacked network conguraon the core network switch will manage the enre network. No need to address them

separately.

BANDWIDTH CONCERNS: When stacking switches with a Fiber cable as shown in the example below be sure the

uplink bandwidth is sucient. In this example this is a 21x23 A/V network, if we do a bandwidth calculate (21

encoders * 30Mbps = 630Mbps) we nd that either a 1Gb or 10Gb uplink is sucient to handle the trac. If

deploying larger A/V networks on larger switches such as 48 port switches if may be necessary to stack the switches

using high speed 10Gb SFP ports if the calculated bandwidth exceeds the 1Gb uplink using 1Gb high speed ports.

Check the network switches manufacturers specicaons to conrm the high speed ports capabilies.

NOTE: This setup guide only covers cascading switches as (1) one 10Gb uplink port can handle all trac for up to a

48 port switch for 2100 series encoders.

Cisco SG350X / SG550X Conguraons

Single Switch Conguraon

Cisco SG switches can be congured for use in a single switch or mul switch environment.

The SG series switches features easy to use web interfaces so conguraon is easier to manage versus command

line interface (CLI) programming using Cisco OS. This secon details the procedure for conguring the Cisco switches

using the web interface. The examples shown in this guide is using the SG350X-24P switch.

Connect a PC to the network switch using a Category cable. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.254.

Set a stac IP address for the PC to ensure it is in the same IP range as the switch, such as 192.168.1.42.

Open a web browser and navigate to the web interface of the switch by entering the default IP of the switch

(192.168.1.254).

Input the username and password (default of both is cisco).

Select a language for the web GUI interface. All examples in the guide will be using English.
