Installation

Chapter 3

24/48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Resilient Clustering Smart Switch with 2 Combo SFPs

For a 1000 Mbps device:

Connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to

port G1, G2, G3, or G4 on the Switch.

Connect the other end of the network cable to a PC or

other network device.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.

If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a

miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port. For more detailed

instructions, refer to “Uplinking the Switch“.

Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s

power port, and plug the other end into an electrical

outlet. When connecting power, always use a surge

protector.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the power

cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a

different power cord could damage the Switch.

Power on the devices connected to the Switch. Each

active port’s corresponding LED will light up on the

Switch.

Uplinking the Switch

To uplink the Switch using a 1000 Mbps Ethernet port,

connect one end of a Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet network

cable to a Gigabit port, then connect the other end of the

cable into the peripheral device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX

will automatically detect the speed and cable type.

To uplink the Switch using the miniGBIC port, connect

a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port whose shared

Ethernet port is not being used (a miniGBIC port and its

shared Ethernet port cannot be used at the same time).

The following table shows which Ethernet ports are shared

with the miniGBIC ports.

To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC

port, you will need to install a MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1

Gigabit expansion module and use Category 5e cabling or

fiber optic cabling.

To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC

port, you will need to install a MFEFX1 (100BASE-FX) or

MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP Transceiver and use fiber

optic cabling.

The hardware installation is complete. Proceed to

“Chapter 5: Configuration Using the Web-based Utility”,

for directions on how to set up the Switch.

Configuring Stacking Mode

The SLM224G4S and SLM248G4S Switches can operate in

either standalone mode or stacking mode. In standalone

mode, the switch operates independently of other

switches. In stacking mode, multiple Resilient Clustering

Smart Switches are connected together to effectively form

a single switch. The default operating mode is stacking

mode.

A Switch stack can contain any combination of SLM224G4S

and SLM248G4S units, with the following limits:

SLM224G4S only: Maximum of 6 units

SLM248G4S only: Maximum of 4 units

SLM224G4S and SLM248G4S: Maximum of 192 10/100

ports (total among all switches)

Each switch in a stack is assigned a unique unit number.

These numbers indicate the switch’s status in the stack:

Unit 1: The switch is the Master unit. The master handles

the management functions for the entire stack.

Unit 2: The switch is the Backup Master unit. The backup

master automatically becomes the new master if the

master fails.

Unit 3, 4, 5, 6: The switch is a Slave unit. (Depending on

the switch models used, 5 and 6 may not be valid.)

The Switches are connected together using a pair of Gigabit

ports on each Switch: G1 and G2, G3 and G4, or miniGBIC1

and miniGBIC2. Linksys recommends using Gigabit ports

G1 and G2 (the default stacking ports). Connections are

made using Category 5e Ethernet network cables.

To set up a stack with six switches, follow these steps:
