Do Network Switches have fans in them?

Posted on December 26th, 2010 by admin in networking switches | 1 Comment »

I am working at a new office where we have an AOPEN AOW 216 Network switch. It was quite earlier but now makes a noise randomly that sounds like a car engine reeving up. I am wondering if it has a fan in it and something is going wrong with the fan…or if this is just a normal noise these things make.

this model does have a fan.

My broad band connection is working only with one computer. I use INTEX switch for networking. Help?

I have subscribe Reliance broadband. It is working on one computer in a time even I use INTEX networking switch. Later I was used MTNL connection it was work properly with this switch. Any one can help me?

The problem you are having points to bad or wrong configuration.
If you can send a proper detail of what exactly is going wrong i might be able to support you.

What is the difference between these networking switches?

Posted on December 15th, 2010 by admin in networking switches | 2 Comments »

I am needing a networking switch for a cluster supercomputer I am building. I need a networking switch, that can transfer a lot of data at once, but I am confused about witch one to get. What is the difference between 10/100/1000mb/s vs 10/100 + 1000mb/s. I would also would like to know what support for a jumbo frame means. Here are the two switches I am debating between, and i would like to know which one would perform best, and how much difference it would make.

TRENDnet TEG-S224 10/100Mbps Ports + 1000Mbps Uplinks Copper Gigabit Switch 24 x 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation MDIX Fast Ethernet Ports 2 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation, Auto-MDIX Gigabit Ports 8K MAC Address Table 2.5MB per device Buff

NETGEAR GS116 10/100/1000Mbps ProSafe Gigabit Desktop Switch with Jumbo Frame Support 16 x RJ45 512 Kbytes per port Buffer Memory

The Trendnet has 24 ports that will transmit at a max speed of 100mbps, plus two other ports that transmit at 1000mbps. These two ports are designed for connecting to other switches.

The netgear has 16 ports able to transmit at 1000mbps, so data would be transferred between each host faster with the netgear.

However, if you want super fast transfer speeds you need to go for one of the high end devices from Cisco or Juniper, which can no acheive 40Gbps throughput.

Networking: Better to have multiple CAT6 cable runs with one switch or multiple switches with fewer CAT6 runs?

Posted on December 13th, 2010 by admin in networking switches | 2 Comments »

Is it better to have multiple CAT6 cable runs from one 24-port network switch going directly to computers/components or use an 8-port switch next to my router with CAT6 cable runs going to multiple 4-port desktop switches and my computers/components hooked up to the desktop switches? Is there a speed advantage one way over the other? Is there a speed advantage to plugging components with high-bandwidth requirements directly into my router with CAT6 cable instead of going through a switch to the router’s switch? Will components on separate switches show up as on the same network still? I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router and plenty of CAT6 cable (1000’) and keystone jacks. I have an unfinished basement ATM so it’s not a problem to make the cable runs. I did a little looking on the web but could not find straightforward answers to my questions and I do not know the intricacies of networking. Thanks in advance!

if you are thinking about a system in your basement, i’m guessing you will only have a few devices, so it makes no difference in network efficiency to use either setup… if you had multiple devices all over the place (on the order of 25 to 50, or more) having multiple switches makes more sense.

all the devices on a particular switch are at the same level with each other, so the overhead is minimal, therefore the data thruput between those devices is fastest, but if you need to connect between two devices located on separate switches there needs to be a little more info added to the data header on each packet to keep track of where the data originated from, therefore, adding time to the overall time it takes to move the data.

For instance, if you had a workplace that had an accounting office with 10 devices, and a sales office with 10 devices… giving each office it’s own switch makes transfer of info between the devices within that particular office a faster overall throughput… while still allowing the occasional transfer of info between both offices.

Each switch creates an isolated system… not a sub-net, but something similar to a sub-net at a hardware level.
