Unit and Rack
Preparation
You can mount the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch in a 19-inch distribution rack. This section describes how to prepare the unit and the distribution rack, and mount the unit in the distribution rack. Please read all of the instructions carefully before beginning the installation.
For the basic mechanical and space requirements for the distribution rack, see “Distribution Rack Requirements” on page 107.
To prepare the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and distribution rack for installation:
Attach the mounting brackets onto the sides of the CoreBuilder 7000
1
family ATM switch using the mounting bracket screws (M4 x 8 Phillips).
Determine whether or not the distribution rack has threaded holes. If the
2
holes are threaded, see “Mounting the CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switch” on page 28.
If the holes are not threaded, you must insert “G” clips. To determine
3
where to insert “G” clips, locate the top of a universal mounting hole pattern on the left mounting rail. In the universal rail pattern, the spacing between holes is 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 5/8 inch, and 1/2 inch. To find the top of the pattern, locate the midpoint between any two holes that are spaced half an inch apart. Figure 2 shows the universal mounting hole pattern.

Vorsichtsmaßnahm en

Mesures de sécurité

Wenn Sie Ersatzteile handhaben, benutzen Sie immer ein Band am Handgelenk, daß gut geerdet ist. Das hilft vermeiden, daß das Ersatzteil durch elektrostatische Entladung beschädigt wird. Darüber hinaus sollte ein Modul, wenn nicht benutzt, in einem antistatischen Beutel aufbewahrt werden.
Steht das System unter Strom, wenn sie ein Modul installieren oder auswechseln, führen Sie keine Metallgegenstände, wie einen Schraubenzieher oder einen Finger mit Schmuck in den offenen Schlitz ein. Das könnte zu Verbrennungen oder anderen Körperschäden führen, sowie auch zu Schäden am System.
Lors de la manipulation des pièces de rechange, 3Com recommande de toujours utiliser une bande attachée au poignet et reliée à la terre. Cela aidera à éviter que la pièce ne soit endommagée par une décharge électrostatique. De plus, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, le module doit être conservé dans un emballage antistatique.

Power Supply Module

Si le système est alimenté lors de l'installation ou du remplacement d'un module, ne jamais insérer d'objet métallique tel qu'un tourne-vis ou un doigt portant un bijou dans la fente. Cela est susceptible de provoquer brûlures ou autres dommages corporels, et d'endommager le système.
The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch provides a dual load-sharing power supply capability where the second unit can serve as a redundant power supply. For more information, see “Redundant Power Supply” on page 85.
For certain combinations of installed interface cards, the second power supply cannot be used as a redundant supply (see “Providing Redundancy for Various Power Loads” on page 90).

NSTALLING AND CONNECTING COREBUILDER MODULES
General Description of the Procedure
The following is a general description of the procedure for orientation purposes only. When you perform the procedure, use the detailed steps in the following sections.
Install both switches in chassis and run CFGFRMAT.BAT on each one.
1
Connect Ethernet ports of each switch module and install at least one interface card in the chassis.
Configure the first switch using the Integrated Fast Setup of the LMA and
2
do not reboot the switch in the Integrated Fast Setup.
Reboot the switch after one minute using the LMA menu.
3
Answer “no” to the prompt “Erase the setup parameters?” and use the
4
LMA to check that all configuration parameters (i.e., database, IP, NNI etc.) have passed successfully to the second switch module.
Configure LANE redundancy in the first switch using the Transcend
5
Backbone and Services Setup window and close the window when finished.
Reboot the switch after one minute

Configure LANE redundancy in the second switch module using the
7
Transcend Backbone and Services Setup window and close the window when finished.

8
the Backbone and Services Setup window to check the LECS database.
Reboot the box.
9
Check the second switch using the MIB browser to check the LECS order

list and the Backbone and Services Setup window to check the LECS database.
Preparatory Steps
Carry out the following preparatory steps.
Install main and redundant switch modules in the switch module slot 1
1
and slot 2 respectively (see“Installing a Switch Module” on page 32 not run the Integrated Fast Setup yet.
Each time the switch is rebooted during this procedure the cards change roles. The main card becomes the redundant card and vice versa. The main card can always be identified by its ACT LED flashing once every two seconds. The ACT LED of the redundant card flashes at a lower rate.
). Do
Switch Module
Verify that at least one interface card of any type is installed in the
2
CoreBuilder chassis in any interface card slots 3-6. Data is transferred between switch modules via a communications chip on an interface card.
Verify that the Ethernet management ports in both switches are
3
connected to the NMS station. They can either be connected through a hub to the NMS station or through an Ethernet interface card in the same chassis, such as the CoreBuilder 7400 High Density Ethernet/ATM interface card, to the NMS station.
During the procedure you will need to verify connectivity between the NMS station and the switch by pinging the switch module from the NMS station.
Connectivity between the switch module and its attached devices is established by a coldStart trap transmitted by the switch module when it boots. The coldStart trap causes a device to learn the MAC address of the switch module. However, there are certain devices, for example, a Solaris station, which will not learn a new MAC address for an IP when one already exists. If you are using one of these devices as an NMS station, and you are unable to ping the switch module, try erasing the switch module’s MAC address from the device’s ARP table and ping again.
37
Verify that the RS-232 terminal line is connected to the console port on
4
the main switch module.
Procedure Execution
Reset the configuration of both switch modules by executing the
1
CFGFRMAT.BAT file supplied with your software.
To execute the CFGFRMAT.BAT file proceed as follows:
Perform the LMA command (1) SYS / (3) LOA / (3) LCL / 1 to put the
a
system in Load Mode: Load.
Reboot the switch using the LMA menu command: (1) SYS / (7) RBO.

To connect a terminal to the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch control port:
Connecting to the
Ethernet Port
Prepare an RS-232 shielded cable (9 pin-to-9 pin or 9 pin-to-25 pin, as
1
dictated by the terminal you wish to use).
Configure the terminal: 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity,
2
xon/xoff flow control.
Push the DCE side of the cable onto the Control port of the switch
3
module and screw it into place.
Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal.
4
In case you have installed a redundant switch unit, it is sufficient to connect the RS-232 line to either the active switch control port or to the redundant switch control port.
The Ethernet port is used for connecting directly to a Transcend Network Management System terminal for management purposes.
Connecting to Network Devices
47
In case you have installed a redundant switch module, its Ethernet port must also be connected directly to the Transcend NMS terminal.
Another way of connecting the Ethernet port to an out-of-band Ethernet network is to connect it to a CoreBuilder 7200 Ethernet/ATM Interface Card or a CB7400 High Density Ethernet/ATM Interface Card installed in the same chassis.

This section describes the stages of system power-on of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch.
Apply electrical power to the system by inserting the power cord in the power supply unit. The power supply indicator lights and the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch automatically runs diagnostic software. This software verifies that every component in the system is fully functional before the system becomes active on the network. Diagnostics should take sixty seconds or less.
If any component fails power-on diagnostics, the system either fails to power on or it keeps faulty modules off-line. Once the system comes up, you can check to see which modules, if any, have failed diagnostics by checking the LED panels; in-depth information is available by viewing the system configuration screens on the administration console.

Indicators

4-Port Interface Module LEDs

All interface and switching unit indicators light at the start of the power-on diagnostic sequence, then go out briefly. General activity LEDs light up as the system checks the switching and interface modules. Finally, individual port indicators go on as the system discovers active connections residing on the interface modules. The 10BaseT indicator on the interface module is on during normal function, even if there is no active 10BaseT management link.
Figure 10 shows the 4-port interface module LEDs. Table 11 and Table 12 list the permanent 4-port interface module panel LEDs.

Integrated Fast Setup Operation
Use the Integrated Fast Setup procedure to configure the minimum set of parameters needed to enable the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and its attached devices to function in the network.
With this procedure you can configure both the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch card and all CoreBuilder 7X00 interface cards installed in it in one session.
Integrated Fast Setup
57
In certain cases you will need to use the Fast Setup procedure of
individual CoreBuilder 7X00 interface cards, in addition to the Integrated
Fast Setup procedure, to correctly configure your system.
This section presents the Integrated Fast Setup of the CoreBuilder 7000
family ATM switch card. It also explains when to use the Integrated Fast
Setup of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch card and when to use
the Fast Setup of an individual Corebuilder 7X00 interface card. For
detailed information about how to use the Fast Setup of an individual
Corebuilder 7X00 interface card, see the User Guide of the specific
interface card.
Chassis-oriented Setup
The Integrated Fast Setup procedure is based on the concept that the
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis together with its installed
interface cards is viewed as an integrated unit. The advantage of this
point of view is its simplicity: it is not necessary to remember in which slot
each interface card is installed or even which type of interface card is
installed. Attention is focussed on configuring the ports of the chassis.
The procedure automatically determines the ports that are available in the
chassis and presents them by type (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM) for
configuration. The port location is displayed by the notation <slot.port>
For example <3.1> refers to slot #3, port #1.
.
Chassis-wide VLANs
With the Integrated Fast Setup, Virtual LANs (VLANs) can be created
across the entire chassis. VLANs are set up in two stages. First, in the LE
Client section, a number of
potential
VLANs are created according to the requirement of the network. Next, in the Virtual Network Configuration section, the potential VLANs become actual VLANs by having ports assigned to them.
You need to define an administration “admin” VLAN to maintain SNMP connectivity to each device in the network. Using the Integrated Fast Setup you define one admin VLAN for the chassis; there is no need to define separate admin VLANs for each interface card.
Note that from software version 3.5 on, the “admin” VLAN can now be called by any other name providing the same name is used consistently in the CB7000 and in all installed CB7X00 interface cards. When using the Integrated Fast Setup, the name for the admin VLAN which is specified for the switch module will be automatically chosen for the other modules

Setup Modes

The Integrated Fast Setup provides two setup modes: the “Full” setup mode and the “Switch” setup mode.
Full Setup Mode
The Full setup mode configures both the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and the installed interface cards. It sets the required parameter values in all the installed interface cards. The Full setup mode presents only the most critical parameters; default values are assumed for the remaining parameters.
This method is recommended for most users, especially for initial setup.
Only those systems that require specific parameter settings in one or more of the installed interface cards will require the Switch setup mode described in the next section.
Switch Setup Mode
The Switch setup mode focuses only on the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and its ATM ports. The Switch setup mode allows you to retain special settings in the interface cards. In this mode, the installed interface card configurations cannot be changed. If you want to alter the settings in an interface card, use the Fast Setup of that interface card after you are finished using the Switch setup procedure.
Setup Mode Selection
If one of the following conditions is detected, the operator is prompted to choose between the Switch and Full setup modes:
A Subnet Mask, Default Gateway or NMS Address different from that
of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch
A VLAN whose ATM connection is set to “No”
The name of the ELAN to which the default admin port (Port #1 in
each slot) is attached is not the same in all interface cards.
If none of these situations is detected, Full setup mode is automatically selected.
Integrated Fast Setup
If Full setup is selected, the parameters in the interface cards revert to their default values.
Setting Special Parameters
If one or more individual interface cards requires one of the special situations referred to in the previous section or needs to remain unaltered, you need to do one of the following:
Use the Switch setup mode of the Integrated Fast Setup to set up the
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch only and then use the Fast Setup of each installed interface card separately.
Use the Full setup mode of the Integrated Fast Setup to configure the
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch and all installed interface cards and then use the Fast Setup for the particular interface card in order to restore its special parameter values.

Interface Type Section
This section prompts you for the ATM interface type configuration of the ports on the Interface Modules which are installed in the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.
There are four interface types: UNI, E-IISP, IISP and PNNI. The UNI type is normally used when an edge device is connecting to a switch. The E-IISP type is normally used when connecting to another CoreBuilder 7000 or 9000 switch. The IISP type is used to connect to a device which does not recognize the E-IISP protocol used by the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch such as switches of other vendors. The PNNI type is normally used to connect switches to other similar or different types of switches when you want each switch to have a global view of the entire network.
PNNI is available in version 4.5 extended only.
To enter the interface type configuration:
At the NNI type of port prompt, enter the NNI type for the port you just
1
specified. Enter “U” for UNI, enter “E” for E-IISP, enter “I” for IISP, or “P” for PNNI.

Some additional configuration tasks might be:
Additional Switch Configuration
73
Configuring SVCs
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switches use standard UNI 3.0, 3.1 or 4.0 switched virtual channel (SVC). SVC mode can be used when CoreBuilder is in a backbone or workgroup topology, with PVC used whenever necessary. ILMI enables automatic address registration for SVC. Addresses can be registered manually via the LMA menus.
Changing the UNI Version
The CoreBuilder will run UNI 4.0 SVC by default. You can work in UNI 3.0 or UNI 3.1 by choosing this option in the signalling setup menu.
Configuring Network Prefix and ATM Addresses
ATM addresses are essential for establishing a connection using SVC. Most devices that support SVC, also support automatic address registration through the ILMI protocol.
A network prefix is essential for address registration to be executed. Refer to
CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches Management Guide
for proper
network prefix setting.
For connectivity with devices that do not support ILMI, ATM addresses can be set manually using the Add ATM address function under ATM address setup in the Administration Console menus.
Configuring a PVC
Permanent Virtual Channels (PVC) can be used to connect to devices that do not support switched virtual channels (SVC) standard protocols. In the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch you can create point-to-point (P2P) and point-to-multipoint (P2M) connections. Use the Setup and Configuration Connections menu, to create a PVC call, PTP or PTM. You can also create an out VC in a PTM call, release a PVC call, release an out VC from call, save PVC connections in flash memory and reset saved connections. Up to 2000 PVCs can be configured.
Configuring Clock Synchronization
External clock synchronization allows a clock to be received on one of the bottom of 4 OC-3c ports of an 8-port interface card from an external source, and to be distributed to all bottom OC-3c ports on the same card and other 8-port interface cards in the same chassis. It is used in voice and data applications so that the same port is used at the same time. You can configure one port to be the master port which will distribute its

Uploading the Configuration of a Card
Downloading the Configuration of a Card
Loading Software and Configuration Data by Utilities
You can store (upload) the configuration of an installed card from its flash memory to an external disk and restore it (download) to the flash memory of the original card — or to the flash memory of a different card of the same type — at a later time. You can initiate this operation only through the LMA and not via a SNMP management application like Transcend.
This feature lets you:
Back up your switch configuration in case of switch failure
Transfer the configuration from one switch to another
Maintain various standard configuration templates which can be
loaded according to requirement
The configuration upload works for individual cards installed in the CoreBuilder 7000: either the active switch card or a CoreBuilder 7X00 Interface Card. You select the card whose configuration you want to download or upload from a list of installed cards.
When the switch operates in single-IP mode, you can use this facility to upload the configuration of any of the installed cards through the LMA of the switch card. When the switch is operating in multiple-IP mode, you can use this facility to upload the configuration of the switch card only.

Uploading Selected
Data Types
Organizing
Configuration Files
The CoreBuilder 7000 allows you to upload selected types of configuration data. The types of configuration data you can upload depends on the card you selected. For the switch card, the types of configuration data you can upload are as follows:
All Configuration Data
Platform Parameters
ATM Addresses
PNNI Configuration
LANE Security
PVC Connections
LECS Topology
LECS Order List
For a CoreBuilder 7X00 card, the data types are as follows:
Platform Parameters
Static
The uploaded configuration files can be named using a naming convention of your choice. Normally, you will want to include information about the data type, the card type and a date or other identifier in the file name. For example, you might use file names like cfg_7000_12jun98 and static_7600_1.
When you download configuration data from the files on the disk to the card, you designate the card by its slot number. The slot can contain the original card from which the data was uploaded, or it can contain another card of the same type.
If you try to download configuration data which was uploaded from one type of card type to another type of card, an appropriate error message is issued.

Activating the
Downloaded
Configuration
Uploading the
Configuration of a
Card
When the configuration files are downloaded into flash memory, they overwrite the previous information. The new parameters are not activated immediately, but rather after the next reboot when they are read from the flash memory. The CoreBuilder 7000 assumes that the user wants to reboot the switch as soon as possible to activate the new configuration parameters. Therefore, subsequent to a configuration download, all LMA and SNMP set operations are blocked until the next reboot – except for the configuration upload/download and reboot operations.
It is recommended, therefore, to perform a configuration download only when you are ready to reboot and activate the new parameters.
Cards should not be “hot swapped” after a configuration download until after the next reboot.
To store (upload) the configuration of a card installed in the CoreBuilder chassis from flash memory to disk, first make sure that the switch is connected to the TFTP server and that it is in single-IP mode and then perform the following steps:
Perform the LMA menu command:

For full upgrade instructions, see Chapter 6 in the
Family ATM Switches Management Guide
.The CoreBuilder 7000 has a
CoreBuilder 7000
special gateway function which allows E-IISP to PNNI connectivity and vice versa.
PNNI is available in version 4.5 extended only.
Connecting PNNI to E-IISP is done in two ways:
Using the 3.1 interface
Using the PNNI to IISP/E-IISP gateway
Connecting PNNI to E-IISP and IISP networks requires addressing to match (use the same E.164 addressing scheme) in order to guarantee uniqueness. This is necessary because PNNI works on the best match routing scheme. The PNNI gateway function will advertise IISP and/or E-IISP addresses as either native or as foreign reachability addresses.

HAPTER
6: C
ONFIGURING THE COREBUILDER
Migrating from E-IISP to PNNI
In order to migrate successfully to PNNI, the network manager must review the network address scheme that will be used. There are two possible approaches to implementing address change:
Deriving a PNNI peer group ID and peer group level based on the E-IISP
addressing scheme. See Chapter 3 in the Operations Guide for information on E-IISP addressing.
Changing the E-IISP network prefixes to match the PNNI addressing
scheme.
The gateway between E-IISP and PNNI must be between the E-IISP highest level and the PNNI gateway node.

Load Sharing
The power supplies can operate in load-sharing mode; two 90A power supplies can produce up to 180A. Providing that the power consumption of the unit does not exceed 90 A, load-sharing allows one power supply to serve as a backup.
Overloading
When the installed power supply is rated for less than the required power consumption of the CoreBuilder module, the CoreBuilder will not succeed in powering up. It will attempt to power up, hit the current overload rate and turn the power supply off, going through this cycle repeatedly until the load is reduced.
The power consumption of an entire CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch unit is calculated by adding up the power consumption of the switching card(s) and interface cards installed in the chassis. Normally, the values for
power consumption can be used in the calculation. Table 20
typical
shows the typical power consumption values for the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switching cards and interface cards.

This section describes when redundant switch cards and redundant power supplies can be used in a CoreBuilder switch.
In order to determine whether a redundant switch card and/or an redundant power supply can be used in a CoreBuilder switch, the total power consumption of all installed cards must be examined. According to the total power consumption, there are three possibilities, as the following examples illustrate:
Installation I:
The total power consumption of a single switching card (that is, no redundant card installed) and all interface cards exceeds 90A. In this case, a Dual 90A supply is required so that the second power supply cannot be redundant. A redundant switch card can be installed. This “heavy load” installation is illustrated by the first example installation in Table 21.
Installation II:
The total power consumption of two
switching cards (i.e., redundant card installed) and all interface cards exceeds 90A but without the second switching card the consumption is less than 90A. In this case, either a redundant switch card or a redundant power supply can be installed, but not both. This “medium load” installation is illustrated by the second example installation in Table 21.
Installation III:
The total power consumption of two switching cards and all interface cards does not exceed 90A. In this case, both a redundant switch card and a redundant power supply can be installed. The light load installation is illustrated by the fourth example installation in Table 21.
In all installations that do not include multiple CB7600 cards both redundant switch cards and redundant power supplies can be installed.

Recommended Action for Common Problems (continued)
Problem Recommended Action
Interface Card fails If one of the interface cards fails, use the Initialize Interface (INI) option in the System (SYS)
menu, Interface (IFC) option to reinitialize the interface. If this fails, you can try to restart the whole unit again. If neither of these actions correct the problem you should contact a 3Com service person.
When handling modules, always use a wrist strap that is connected to a proper ground. This prevents the module from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Fans do not rotate If the fans do not work when the unit is powered up, the fan tray may not be inserted
properly. Unplug the power cord and reinsert the fan tray properly against the enclosure.

When troubleshooting problems occur, you may have to perform minor procedures to help correct the problem. These procedures are described below. For more complex operations on the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch, contact 3Com Technical Support.
Table 15
Procedure Action
Checking fan operations
Cleaning dirty fiber optic cables
* See safety precautions in next section.
Diagnostic Procedures
In case of system overheating, check that the power supply fan and the fans in the fan tray are operating. To check for fan movement in the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch’s fan tray, pull a few modules from the chassis to view the fans on the left side of the system.
*
Fiber optic transceivers are sensitive optical devices that need to be handled carefully. If dirt collects on the fiber optic lens, you may notice that the LED for an ATM port link status does not light. You may also notice degraded performance of that port, indicated by an increase in the physical layer statistics count for that port.
To prevent dust from collecting on the fiber optic lens, keep the dust covers on the ports at all times when they are not in use. To clean a fiber optic lens, follow the procedure below:
Remove any accumulated dust or debris from the port or connector by blowing off all
1
surfaces with a canned air duster.
Compressed gas is recommended, such as Chemtronics’ Ultrajet ® or the Triangle Tool
2
Group’s Liqui-Too!™ Dust-A-Way. Do not use commercial compressed air or “house air” because of the risk of oil contamination.
Reconnect the cable to the port to see if the dusting corrected the problem.
3
If the LED still does not appear, or if it lights yellow, continue with steps 5 and 6.
4
Gently wipe the ports with a lint-free, non-abrasive, non-adhesive swab. Microswabs™
5
by Texwipe™ are recommended.
Gently wipe the connectors with a lint-free, non-abrasive wipe or pad. Texwipe™ pads
6
are recommended.
Safety Precautions for Fiber Optics Connectors
Avoid touching all surfaces after cleaning the connectors, and keep all unused ports covered.
Vermeiden Sie das Berühren aller Oberflächen nach dem Säubern der Kontakte und verdecken Sie alle nicht benutzten Öffnungen.
Ne toucher aucune surface après le nettoyage des connecteurs et garder les pièces inutilisées couvertes.
