What is Not in this Manual?	About This Guide

What is Not in this Manual?

The descriptive and procedural information in this manual focuses on switch hardware. It includes information on some CLI commands that pertain directly to hardware configuration, but it is not intended as a software users guide. There are several OmniSwitch 6450 users guides that focus on switch software configuration. Consult those guides for detailed information and examples for configuring your switch software to operate in a live network environment. See “Documentation Roadmap” on page -xii and “Related Documentation” on page -xiv for further information on software configuration guides available for your switch.

How is the Information Organized?

This users guide provides an overview of OmniSwitch 6450 switches, specifications of the hardware components, steps for setting up and managing OmniSwitch 6450 switches, and an overview and procedures for managing Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Documentation Roadmap

The OmniSwitch user documentation suite was designed to supply you with information at several critical junctures of the configuration process.The following section outlines a roadmap of the manuals that will help you at each stage of the configuration process. Under each stage, we point you to the manual or manuals that will be most helpful to you.

Stage 1: Using the Switch for the First Time

Pertinent Documentation: Hardware Users Guide (Getting Started chapter) Release Notes

The Getting Started chapter in the Hardware Users Guide provides all the information you need to get your switch up and running the first time. This section provides information on unpacking the switch, installing power supplies, unlocking access control, setting the switch’s IP address, and setting up a password. It also includes succinct overview information on fundamental aspects of the switch, such as hardware LEDs, the software directory structure, CLI conventions, and web-based management.

At this time you should also familiarize yourself with the Release Notes that accompanied your switch. This document includes important information on feature limitations that are not included in other user guides.

Stage 2: Gaining Familiarity with Basic Switch Functions

Pertinent Documentation: Hardware Users Guide

Switch Management Guide

Once you have your switch up and running, you will want to begin investigating basic aspects of its hard ware and software. Information about switch hardware is provided in the Hardware Users Guide. This guide provide specifications, illustrations, and descriptions of all hardware components—e.g., chassis, backup power supplies, etc.

The Switch Management Guide is the primary user guide for the basic software features on a switch. This guide contains information on the switch directory structure, basic file and directory utilities, switch access security, SNMP, and web-based management. It is recommended that you read this guide before connecting your switch to the network.

OmniSwitch 6450 Switches	OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview

Availability Features

OmniSwitch 6450 switches incorporate advanced Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) protocols to ensure high availability for mission critical applications. Availability features are hardwareand softwarebased safeguards that help to prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem failure.

In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components without powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added resiliency and help to ensure that the switch or virtual chassis is consistently available for high-impact network operations.

Hardware-related availability features include:

•Software Rollback

•Hot Swapping

•Hardware Monitoring

Software Rollback

Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the switch to return to a prior “last known good” version of software in the event of a system software problem. The switch controls software rollback through its resilient directory structure design (i.e., /flash/working and /flash/certified).

For detailed information on the software rollback feature, as well as the switch’s /flash/working and /flash/certified directories, refer to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Switch Management Guide.

Hot Swapping

Hot swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing components without powering off switches or disrupting other components.This feature facilitates hardware upgrades and maintenance and allows users to easily replace components in the unlikely event of hardware failure.

The following components can be hot swapped:

•Switches (virtual NI modules) within a virtual chassis stack. Refer to “Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack” on page 7-25 for more information.

•1G uplink modules (“like” kinds only). Refer to “Swapping Expansion Modules” on page 7-3 for more information.

•10G stacking modules (“like” kinds only). Refer to “Swapping Expansion Modules” on page 7-3 for more information.

•Power supply connector cables

•Transceivers. Refer to OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Transceivers Guide for more information.

•Backup power supplies

Note. Backup power supplies are fully operational and may share the load with the primary power supply, remaining operational in the event the primary power supply fails unexpectedly. If a failover occurs, the backup power supply automatically takes up the full power load without disrupting the switch.

OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview	OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

Hardware Monitoring

Automatic Monitoring

Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message.

LEDs

LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the chassis front panel. LEDs are used to indicate conditions such as hardware and software status, temperature errors, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed LED descriptions, refer to Chapter 3, “OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components.”

User-Driven Monitoring

User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to the console. Monitoring information for chassis components, such as the optional back up power supply, chassis temperature sensor, and chassis fans is provided in Chapter 3, “OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components.” The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the

OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide.

Getting Started	Your First Login Session

Unlocking Session Types

Security is a key feature on OmniSwitch 6350 switches. As described on page 2-6, when you access the switch for the first time, you must use a direct console port connection. All other session types (Telnet, FTP, WebView, and SNMP) are locked out until they are manually unlocked by the user.

The CLI command used to unlock session types is aaa authentication.

Note. When you unlock session types, you are granting switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet). As a result, users who know the correct user login and password will have remote access to the switch. For more information on switch security, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Switch Management Guide.

Unlocking All Session Types

To unlock all session types, enter the following command syntax at the CLI prompt:

-> aaa authentication default local

Unlocking Specified Session Types

You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter the following command:

-> aaa authentication telnet local

To unlock WebView (HTTP) sessions only, enter the following command:

-> aaa authentication http local

You cannot specify more than one session type in a single command line. However, you can still unlock multiple session types by using the aaa authentication command in succession. For example:

-> aaa authentication http local -> aaa authentication telnet local -> aaa authentication ftp local

Refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for complete aaa authentication command syntax options.
