These steps show you how to: · Set up and power on your switch · Connect a network management station · Verify that the LEDs reflect normal operation · Configure system software parameters, including an IP address for the switch By the end of this chapter, you will be ready to use switch software to begin configuring VLANs, routing, and individual switching module parameters. You will also be able to start monitoring a wide array of statistics. Consult your Omni Switch/Router User Manual for more advanced configuration and management of your switch. o Warning o Do not install OmniSwitch modules in an Omni Switch/Router chassis. Only Omni Switch/Router modules should be installed in an Omni Switch/Router chassis. If you install OmniSwitch modules in an Omni Switch/Router chassis, physical damage may result. 2. Re-Seat Switching Modules Switching modules may become slightly unsettled during shipping. To ensure each module is properly positioned, gently remove and reinsert each module according to the instructions below. Rack or Wall Mounting Your Switch? You may want to keep the switching modules that you remove from the switch chassis out until you have completed the mounting procedure. Keeping the modules and power supplies out of the chassis lightens the weight of the chassis for the mounting procedure. 1. Unpack the Switch Remove all hardware from the packing boxes and inspect each item to ensure there has been no shipping damage. In addition, ensure the packing boxes contain all the items that you ordered. If you discover or suspect any damage, contact your distributor immediately. Installing Your Switch 1 A flat blade screwdriver is required for installing and removing switching modules. In a chassis with horizontal slots, the slots are numbered sequentially with slot 1 being the topmost slot. In a chassis with vertical slots, the slots are numbered sequentially with slot 1 being the leftmost slot. o Anti-Static Warning o Before handling any module, free your hands of static by wearing a grounding strip or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the components on the module. a. Loosen the screw fasteners at the top and bottom of the module using a flat blade screwdriver. Removing the Modules To remove a module, follow these instructions: 2 Installing Your Switch b. Gently unlock the two card ejectors (one on each end of the module) by pressing them out and away from the module. Switching Module Slide Card Out Card Guides c. Holding the module firmly in both hands, carefully slide it out of the chassis along the card guide. The module should slide out easily. A large amount of force is not necessary and should not be used. d. Repeat the above steps for all switch modules. If you are rack or wall mounting the switch, you should store the removed modules and power supplies in a safe, anti static place and skip to Step 3. If you are not rack or wall mounting the switch, re-install the modules as described in the next section. Installing Your Switch 3 Re-Installing the Modules To re-install modules, follow the instructions below: a. Hold the module firmly in both hands, and carefully slide it into the card guide. Make sure the front panel connectors and LEDs face outward. In a switch with vertical slots, the component side of the board should face right. In a switch with horizontal slots, the component side should face up. The module should slide in easily. A large amount of force is not necessary and should not be used. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the module is aligned properly in the card guide. b. Once the module is in the slot, close the two card ejectors (one on top of the module and one on the bottom) by pressing them in toward the module until they snap into place. c. Use a flat blade screwdriver to tighten the two screw fasteners to secure the module inside the chassis. The screws should be tight enough that a screwdriver would be necessary to loosen the screws. 3. Find a Safe, Well Ventilated Location Find a space with adequate power source access and ventilation where you can set up the switch. A standard office AC supply of 90 to 120 volts or 200 to 230 volts is required for normal operation. Be sure that adequate ventilation exists in the vicinity of the unit. Also, be careful not to block the ventilation holes on the sides or back of the unit. The Omni Switch/Router is designed to operate in an office environment. The enclosure and all modules are safe to handle, and the noise level meets the requirements for an office environment. 4. Mount the Switch (Optional) All switches are shipped with brackets and bracket screws for rack mounting the chassis. (Rack-mount screws, which attach the brackets to the rack, must be purchased from your rack vendor). You can order wall-mounting brackets for a 3-Slot chassis separately. o Note o A Phillips screwdriver is required for rack or wall mounting procedures, and a drill is required for wall mounting the chassis. 4 Installing Your Switch Rack Mounting the Chassis The following sections provide instructions for rack mounting the switch chassis. o Lighten the Load o Before you mount an Omni Switch/ Router chassis, remove the switching modules and power supplies to lighten the weight of the chassis. Refer to Step 2. Re-Seat Switching Modules on page 1 for instructions. To rack mount a switch chassis, the following items are required: · 2 rack-mounting brackets (included) · Phillips flat-head 100 degree screws (included) · Phillips screwdriver (not included) 9-slot Omni Switch/Router in a Rack If you want to install a 9-slot Omni Switch/Router in a rack, we recommend placing it on a rack shelf in addition to mounting it with brackets and screws. Follow these steps to mount a switch chassis in a rack: a. Select a shelf on the rack that allows easy access to the switching modules and power supplies once the chassis is mounted. b. Attach one rack-mounting bracket to the front end of the chassis using the Phillips-head screws that came with the chassis. See the figure below for the positioning and placement of these brackets and screws. Installing Your Switch 5 c. Attach the second bracket to the opposite front end of the chassis using the remaining screws. d. Carefully lift the chassis and insert it into the rack. e. Attach both brackets to the rack by screwing in the rack screws. Wall Mounting the Chassis (3-Slot) To wall mount a 3-slot switch chassis, the following items are required: · 2 wall-mounting brackets (optional) · Phillips flat-head 100 degree screws (included) · Standard, wall-mounting screws (not included) · Drill (not included) · Phillips screwdriver (not included) o Note o Only the 3-slot version of the Omni Switch/Router can be wall mounted. The 5-slot and 9-slot models cannot be wall mounted. Follow these steps to wall mount a switch chassis: a. Locate an area that allows easy access to the switching modules and power supply once the chassis is mounted. Caution The weight of a fully-loaded 3-slot chassis is approximately 18 lbs. (8.18 kg.). Be sure to choose a suitable location that can support the weight of the fully-loaded chassis. 6 Installing Your Switch b. Use the holes in the wall-mounting bracket and the chassis as a guide, measure the correct placement for the wall-mounting screws. c. Drill holes in the wall for the wall-mounting screws. d. Screw the wall-mounting screws into the wall. e. Attach one bracket to the back end of the chassis, using the Phillips flat-head screws that came with the chassis. 5. Connect the Power Supply Attach a power cord to one or more of the power supplies. The power supplies are located in the bottom bays of the chassis. When more than one power supply is used, they act as redundant, power-sharing power sources. During normal operation the power supplies share the power load. In the event one power supply fails, the other acts as a back up and picks up the power load from the failed power supply. o Power Cord Safety Precautions o In the event that your power cord is lost or damaged, refer to the Omni Switch/Router User Manual for instructions on how to obtain a replacement. European cords must be Harmonized (HAR) type. See the Omni Switch/ Router User Manual for further information. 6. Connect to the Serial Port f. Attach the second bracket to the opposite back end of the chassis using the remaining screws. Attach a serial cable to the female serial port connector on the MPX module's front panel. Connect the other end of the serial cable to a workstation equipped with terminal emulation software. You will use this connection to enter initial configuration values for the switch. Later you can use this connection to perform more sophisticated network management tasks, such as configuring VLANs, setting up routing, and monitoring statistics. Installing Your Switch 7 g. Carefully lift the chassis and hang it on the wallmounted screws. The Console Management ports are RS-232 ports used to interface with switch software. One port, called the "modem" port, is a male DTE connector and the other, called the "console" port, is a female DTE connector. They are each 9-pin "D" (DB-9) connectors that conform to the IBM AT serial port specification. If the connecting device does not conform to the IBM AT serial port specification, you may need a special cable or adapter. 7. Power On the Switch Turn the power supply On/Off switch to the On (I) position. All modules are subjected to extensive power-on diagnostics during the Power-On Self-Test cycle (POST). For this reason, you should allow the switch several seconds to perform preliminary tests before evaluating the LEDs. While the diagnostics are running, the MPX OK2 LED will blink Amber. When diagnostics are complete and all modules are operating correctly, the OK1 LED on all modules should be on solid Green and the OK2 LED should be blinking Green. The tables below summarize how LEDs should display in normal operation. Omni Switch/Router MPX LED PS1 PS2 Normal State Green On Steady Comments If the corresponding power supply is turned off, the LED will be On Amber Steady. Hardware diagnostics passed. Blinks amber while diagnostics are running. 8. Verify LEDs Check that LEDs on the front panel of the chassis indicate a normal state of operation. On an MPX, the PS1 LED should be on steady Green if one power supply is inserted. If two power supplies are installed, both the PS1 and PS2 LEDs should be on solid Green. OK1 OK2 Green On Steady Green Blinking Omni Switch/Router Switching Modules LED OK1 OK2 Normal State Green On Steady Green Blinking Comments Hardware diagnostics passed. Blinks amber while diagnostics are running. 8 Installing Your Switch 9. Log In to the Command Line Interface (CLI) If you are using one of the MPX's serial ports, use a terminal emulation software package to establish a session with the switch.

It provides system services such as configuration information, bridge management functions, basic routing functions, the SNMP management agent, and access to both the Command Line Interface and User Interface software. Switching modules are dependent on the MPX for downloading software and receiving initialization and configuration information. In addition, Network Management Software (NMS), such as X-Vision, depends on the MPX to send and receive SNMP messages for managing the switch. MPX modules support a redundant configuration, so that if one MPX fails, the other MPX automatically The MPX offers the following features: MPX Features and Options Backplane (MVBUS) Speed Standard Flash Memory Up to 22 Gbps 8 MB or 16 MB (16 MB required for Release 4.4 and later) (16 MB maximum) 32 MB or 64 MB (64 MB required for Release 4.4 and later) (64 MB maximum) Yes Yes Standard DRAM HRE-X Supported? Advanced Routing Supported? assumes all management responsibilities. o VBUS Mode 1 & 2 Support o Certain feature parameters (such as QoS) are supported only when the Omni Switch/Router chassis runs in VBUS Mode 2. For VBUS Mode 2 support, your chassis must have only new generation (Kodiak-based) Ethernet modules and/or WSXs installed. The Omni Switch/Router runs in VBUS Mode 1 for chassis configurations that use any early generation (non-Kodiak based) Ethernet modules. 18 OmniS/R Basics OK1 (Hardware Status).

It will read either MPX I0 mm (multimode fiber Ethernet port) or MPX I0 (copper RJ-45 Ethernet port). The MPX module includes one row of LEDs for the Ethernet management port. ACT (Activity). On Green when Flash memory on the MPX holds the Omni Switch/ Router's executable images and configuration data for each image file. When a switching module comes online, the MPX downloads the appropriate image file for that module to that module's memory. Image files (those with the .img extension) contain executable code for different switching modules. Not all image files loaded in flash memory are required--only those that must be used with the switching modules in your Omni Switch/Router. You can remove any files that are not required for your Omni Switch/Router configuration by using the rm command and free up space in flash memory. If you need any switch files at a later date, you can use FTP to back up the files to a PC before you delete them from the switch. The switch alters flash contents during execution when a software command requests a configuration change, when a remote administrator downloads a new executable image, or when the switch fails and a record of the failure is written to flash memory. For detailed instructions on these procedures, refer to your Omni Switch/Router User Manual and any manual supplements that came with your Omni Switch/Router.

Ethernet Management Port LEDs Switching Modules GSX-K mm LEDs on switching modules vary by the network inter- face type and by a module's application. However, two LEDs are common to all switching modules. These LEDs, OK1 and OK2, provide information on the hardware and software status, respectively, of the module. These two LEDs are located at the top of the modules, as shown in the following figure. OK1 (Hardware Status).
