1000BaseX Ports Cabling Procedures

Cabling requirements for the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet modules depend on which type of GBIC interface has been installed. Use the following chart to determine the cabling requirements for your GBIC.

Connecting To	Cable Required

1000BaseSX GBIC	Cables with SC-type fiber connectors: 62.5 micron multimode
	fiber media up to 275 meters long, or 50 micron multimode fiber
	media up to 550 meters long.

1000BaseLX Long	Cables with SC-type fiber connectors: 10 micron single mode
Haul GBIC	fiber media up to 100 kilometers long.

1000BaseLX GBIC	Cables with SC-type fiber connectors: 10 micron single mode
	fiber media up to 5 kilometers long.

Configuring for Management

To use the IntraCore 8000 as a managed switch, it must be configured with an IP address. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

Gautomatically using BootP (default)

Gmanually via the unit’s Console port

IImportant: For security reasons, you should also change the SNMP community strings before putting the IntraCore 8000 on your network. For instructions, see “Changing Community Strings” on page 3-17.

BootP Configuration

The IntraCore 8000 is shipped with BootP support. If your network contains a BootP server configured with available, valid IP addresses, BootP allows the IntraCore 8000 to be configured automatically with an IP address when the IntraCore 8000 is connected to the network and is powered on. Use the following procedure to set up BootP.

IImportant: BootP configuration works only if the IntraCore 8000 does not have an IP address assigned to it.

1 Make sure your network has a BootP server configured with a valid IP address entry for the IntraCore 8000.
