All theoretical practices are important. Switch installation and full contact (1)

Network administrators of small and medium-sized enterprises should have a lot of professional and technical knowledge, because small and medium-sized enterprises often choose only the device itself when purchasing equipment, including performance parameters, etc, the integration work is often left to the network administrator. After all, it takes a certain amount of money to find a manufacturer for integration. Therefore, if the company wants to buy a vswitch or router, the network administrator must understand how to install these devices to make them work normally.

In fact, it is not complicated to install the routing switch device. You can connect to the power source. However, there are still many aspects that need attention in order to make it better work and reduce the chance of failures in the future. Today, I will introduce you to it168 readers how to install the purchased switch into the cabinet for normal operation. Of course, the installation and debugging of the router is roughly the same as that of the switch, we will not repeat it here.

1. Check the appearance of the device:

There are many vswitch manufacturers and many brands, but the installation methods for different brands are basically the same. So I will take the vswitches produced by the harbor company as an example to explain. After unpacking, check whether the appearance of the device is damaged.

Step 1: Because the switches are generally installed on the cabinet, and the Cabinet length, width, and height are all standard, the switch also has a standard size with a length of 260 MM and a depth of 173 MM, the height is 44 MM. The first thing we need to do after unpacking is to check whether each part listed in the unpacking form is complete and whether there are obvious cracks in the appearance of the switch.

Step 2: purchase two-layer Switch Ethernet interfaces ranging from 8 to 16 to 24, 48. In addition, there is a CONSOLE port on the front panel of the vswitch to facilitate the management and setting of the vswitch. Therefore, we also need to check whether there are any cracks in the interfaces on the vswitch panel and the console ports.

Step 3: Check whether the rear panel of the vswitch is normal. The rear panel of the vswitch has a power input interface to connect the-v ac power supply, in addition, in order to facilitate the switch grounding, a grounding bar is specially set at the end, with a grounding symbol, so that the entire switch can be directly connected to the Earth to protect it, reduce the losses caused by static electricity and leakage. We should check that these parts are intact.

Step 4: there are still many heat dissipation holes on the side of the switch. These holes help the switch to heat down, which can improve the system temperature and ensure normal operation of the switch, so check these holes to ensure they are not congested.

TIPS:

When installing a vswitch, you must ensure that there is space on both sides of the vswitch to facilitate air circulation and maintain ventilation and heat dissipation. Otherwise, the system may be unstable due to the component overheating of the switch.
