CHAPTER 2: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the hardware features of the NETGEAR Model FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch. Topics include: Front and back panels 24 10/100 Mbps and 4 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing RJ-45 ports SFP module bay LED descriptions Console port

Front and Back Panels

Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the key components on the front and back panels of the NETGEAR Model FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch The front panel contains LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, SFP module bays, and a console port. The back panel has a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord.
Figure 2-1. Front Panel of the FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch
Figure 2-2. Back Panel of the FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch
10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports
As Figures 2-1 and 2-3 shows, the FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch has 24 10/100 Mbps and 4 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. These 4 ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports: When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology lets you attach devices to the RJ-45 ports using either straight-through or crossover cables. When you insert a cable into the switchs RJ-45 port, the switch automatically: Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable. Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an uplink connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub). Page 9 of 24
[SPECIAL NOTE: Ports 27 and 28 are in stacking mode by default. While you may connect and
establish a link with non-stacking interfaces no traffic will pass across the interface. These interfaces are available to quickly and easily build a stack of switches by simply connecting two or more FSM7300 switches together with either Category 5 copper Ethernet cables or with SFP-based fiber connections. After ascertaining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

Figure 2-3. Warning! Creating Redundant Paths between Network Devices

SFP module bay

The last four ports (25,26,27,28) on FSM7328S can be used for either STP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type cable. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch will detect the port in use automatically simply by the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged the SFP interface will operate normally while the copper interface will be disabled.The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module which has an SC connector that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.

Step 2: Installing the Switch
You can install your NETGEAR Model FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack. Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations. Installing the Switch in a Rack To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 3-1). To perform this procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with your switch. 1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch. 2. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch. 3. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. 4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. 5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.
Figure 3-1. Attaching Mounting Brackets
Step 3: Checking the Installation
Before you apply power: o o o o Inspect the equipment thoroughly. Verify that all cables are installed correctly. Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or create a safety hazard. Be sure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Step 4: Applying AC Power
NETGEAR Model FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch; the only method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power. Page 14 of 24

1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet. When you apply power, the Power LED on the switchs front panel will be Yellow, as it conducts a Power On Self Test (POST). After the switch passes the POST, the Power LED will change to Green and the switch is functional and ready to pass data. If the POST failed, the Power LED will become blinking yellow. If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix B, Troubleshooting.
Step 5: Connecting Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switchs network RJ-45 ports. Your NETGEAR Model FSM7328S Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 3-2. Connecting Devices to the Switch
Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switchs front panel (see Figure 3-2). Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections. Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m (328 ft).
Step 6: Installing a SFP Module
The following procedure describes how to install a SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switchs Gigabit module bays. The Standard SFP Module is sold separately from the FSM7328S. If you do not want to install a SFP module at this time, skip this procedure. To install a SFP module: 1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector.

Page 15 of 24

To install additional Gigabit Ethernet module, repeat this procedure
Figure 3-3. Installing a Gigabit Ethernet fiber Module into an FSM7328S
Step 7: Connecting to the Console Port to Manage the Switch (initial configuration)
To learn the IP address, you must first access the Command Line management via the console interface. After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can connect to it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation that is directly connected to the switchs console port. To connect a console to the switch: 1. Connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation to the switchs console port, labeled Console, using the null-modem cable supplied with the switch. The supplied null-modem cable has 9-pin connectors on each end. 2. If you attached a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program. Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the Windows operating systems. Macintosh users can use ZTerm. UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP. 3. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings: Baud rate: 9,600 bps Data bits: 8 Parity: none Stop bit: 1 Flow control: none Page 16 of 24

4. Hit the return key, and the below screen should appear.
Figure 3-4. System Information.
5. The login name is admin. And there is no password assigned. We strongly recommend you enable password for admin access to secure access to the switch management function. After successful login, the screen should show (FSM7328S)> prompt. Enter show sysinfo, and it will display the management CPUs IP address. The switch is shipped with DHCP as default to receive its IP address. To manually set a static IP address, you must first disable DHCP as follows: (FSM7328S ) >en Password: <just hit enter> (FSM7328S )# network protocol none Changing protocol mode will reset ip configuration. Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n)y After system prompt return, enter the following command ( FSM7328S ) # network parms 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 The example above uses 192.168.1.100 as IP address, and 192.168.1.1 as gateway IP address. You Page 17 of 24
should provide your own IP address in the above command. If you want to use your web browser, or telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on the Sysinfo page. To use your web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and hit enter. If you want to use an SNMP management application, you will need to note the IP address and to configure the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This configuration can be done through either the console or web browser GUI. See User Guide on how to enable SNMP access. Note: The switch IP address is by default using DHCP mode to assign its address. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address. Change the IP mode to Manual for a more reliable connection. If you need help changing the IP mode, please refer the User Manual on the Resource CD for Layer 3 Managed Switches. To learn more about the managed features on your switch, refer to the manual on the Resource CD.
Step 8: Connecting the stacking modules
Perform this step only you are setting up a stack. FSM7328S can be setup as part of a stack. The last two ports, port 27 and 28, are pre-configured for stacking functionality. To setup the stack, simply connect the switches using standard Category 5 Ethernet cable on ports 27 or 28. The switches will automatically select the master unit whose console will be accessible as normal, and other non-master unit console will no longer provide the normal CLI access. For further detail please refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD.

To disable a ports stacking mode and change it into regular gigabit Ethernet port, do the following commands (using port 27 as an example): (FSM7328S ) #config (FSM7328S Config ) #stack (FSM7328S Config-stack ) #stack-port 1/0/27 ethernet Page 18 of 24

To reset the switch, use the Tools> Reset command or remove AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are outside of North America, please refer to the support information card included with your product. Auto Negotiation The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex. The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
