S3300 Smart Switch Stacking A single switch can control and manage a stack. This switch is referred to as the stack master, or simply, the master. Any other members in the stack are referred to as slaves. All switches in a stack are stack members. Slaves can download firmware from the master and the master can push firmware to the slaves.

S3300 Smart Switch When you insert a cable into the smart switch’s RJ-45 port, the smart switch automatically performs the following actions: • 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 you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
S3300 Smart Switch To reset the smart switch to factory default settings using the Factory Defaults button: Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening. Press the recessed Factory Defaults button for about eight seconds. Note: A smart switch that is a member of a stack retains its stacking configuration.
Desktop and Backbone Switching The S3300 Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. You can use the smart switch as your only network traffic distribution device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10 Gbps hubs and switches. The chapter includes the following sections: •...
S3300 Smart Switch Desktop Switching You can use the smart switch as a desktop switch to build a small network that allows users 1000 Mbps access to, for example, a file server. With full duplex enabled, the smart switch port connected to the server or computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput. If you use a 10 Gbps module to connect the smart switch to the file server in full-duplex operation, the server can provide up to 20 Gbps throughput.
S3300 Smart Switch Backbone Switching You can use the smart switch as a backbone switch in a small network that gives users high-speed access to servers and other network devices. The following figure shows a variety of S3300 models. You can use any of the S3300 models for backbone switching.
