page 1-2 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Availability Features

Availability Features

The switch provides a broad variety of availability features. Availability features are hardware and software-based 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 day-to-day network operations.

Hardware-related availability features include:

• Software Rollback

• Backup Power Supplies

• Hot Swapping

• Hardware Monitoring

Software Rollback

Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches 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 Switch Management Guide.

Backup Power Supplies

The OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches support an optional backup power supply. This power supply is connected to the rear of the unit. There is a power shelf provided with the unit that slides into the rear of the chassis and is used to hold the power supplies. It can hold 510W or 360W power supply or in case of non-PoE product switches 120W or 126W power supply. This provides redundant chassis power on a 1:1 basis.

Backup power supplies operate in active standby mode. If the primary power supply fails unexpectedly, the backup power supply automatically takes up the full power load without disrupting the switch.

Note. For more information on backup power supplies, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6400 Series

Chassis and Hardware Components.”

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 1-3

Availability Features OmniSwitch 6400 Series

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 hardware components can be hot swapped:

• Backup power supply

• Backup power supply connector cables

• SFPs

For instructions on hot swapping backup power supplies, refer to Chapter 3, “Mounting OS6400

Switches.” For instructions on hot swapping combo connector SFPs, refer to the instruction card provided

with the SFP product.

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. (In the case of an over-threshold temperature condition, the chassis displays an amber TMP LED in addition to sending a trap.)

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 2, “OmniSwitch 6400 Series 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 2, “OmniSwitch 6400 Series Chassis

and Hardware Components.” The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the

OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Console Port OmniSwitch 6400 Series Chassis and Hardware Components

Console Port

The console port, located on the chassis front panel, provides a console connection to the switch and is required when logging into the switch for the first time. By default, this RJ-45 connector provides an RS232 DTE console connection.

Serial Connection Default Settings

The factory default settings for the serial connection are as follows:

baud rate 9600 parity none data bits (word size) 8 stop bits 1 flow control none

Modifying the Serial Connection Settings

The switch’s serial connection defaults are listed above. If you wish to modify the default serial connection settings (i.e., baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits), refer to the following steps:

Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before attempting to change serial connection settings. Otherwise, an error message will display.

For switches in a stacked configuration, all changes must be configured before the switches are cabled together. In other words, you must configure these settings when each switch is operating as a stand-alone unit.

1 Enter the modify boot parameters command at the CLI prompt. The boot prompt displays:

Boot >

2 To change the baud rate, enter boot serialbaudrate, followed by the desired baud rate value. Options

include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, and 115200. For example:

Boot > boot serialbaudrate 19200

Note. Setting the console port to speeds above 9600 baud can cause problems with Zmodem uploads.

3 To change the parity value, enter boot serialparity, followed by the desired parity value. Options

include none (default), even, and odd. For example:

Boot > boot serialparity even

4 To change the data bits (i.e., word size) value, enter boot serialwordsize, followed by the number of

data bits. Options include 7 and 8 (default). For example:

Boot > boot serialwordsize 7

page 2-30 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Chassis and Hardware Components Console Port

5 To change the stop bits value, enter boot serialstopbits, followed by the number of stop bits. Options

include 1 (default) and 2. For example:

Boot > boot serialstopbits 2

6 Verify your current changes by entering show at the boot prompt:

Boot > show Edit buffer contents: Serial (console) baud : 19200 Serial (console) parity : even Serial (console) stopbits : 2 Serial (console) wordsize : 7

(additional table output not shown)

7 You can save your changes to the boot.params file by entering commit file at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit file

When the commit file command is used, changes will not be enabled until after the next switch reboot.

8 You can also save your changes in real time to the switch’s running memory by entering commit

system at the boot prompt:

Boot > commit system

Note. There are two important things to consider when using the commit system command to save serial connection changes:

• Output to the terminal may become illegible due to incompatible serial connection settings between the

switch and the terminal emulation software.

• If you use the commit system command only, changes will not be saved to the switch’s boot.params

file and will be lost if the switch is rebooted. To save changes to the boot.params file, refer to step 7.

9 Return to the CLI prompt by entering exit at the boot prompt.

3 Mounting OS6400

Switches

Note. Never obstruct the air intake or exhaust vents located on the chassis. Obstructing these vents can cause switch failure. Always follow the recommended clearance values.

General Mounting Recommendations

Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, static-free environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the front, rear, top, and sides of the switch. Refer the table below for detailed information on recommended chassis clearances.

Recommended Clearances

The following table shows the recommended minimum clearances for adequate chassis airflow and access to cabling and components at the front and rear of the chassis.

Location

Top No minimum clearance required. However, be sure that the top of the chassis is not in

direct contact with any equipment above.

Bottom No minimum clearance required. However, be sure that the bottom of the chassis is not in

direct contact with any equipment below. Sides 2 inches Rear 6 inches (see note below) Front 6 inches (see note below)

Note. Clearance recommendations at the front and rear of chassis are for access to cabling and components only and are not intended as a specific airflow requirement. If a redundant power supply is to be attached directly to the rear of the switch chassis (see page 3-12), additional clearance will be required to accommodate the power supply tray.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 3-1

General Mounting Recommendations Mounting OS6400 Switches

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperatures

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing

Note. Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). If you are relocating the switch, be sure to power it down and remove all network, stacking, and power cables before moving.

page 3-2 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

Mounting OS6400 Switches Airflow Recommendations

Airflow Recommendations

The OmniSwitch 6400 draws air from intake vents located in the left chassis panel and exhausts air via fan vents located in the right chassis panel.

For each switch, air is directed horizontally through the chassis, where it passes over the circuit board and provides necessary cooling for internal components. Refer to the diagram below for more information.

1. Air Intake. The chassis fans pull air from the main air intake vents located in the left-hand panel of the chassis.

Front of Chassis

Rear of Chassis

3. Air Exhaust. The airflow is exhausted through the fan exhaust vents at the righthand side of the chassis.

2. Airflow. The air from the intake vent is directed through the chassis past the circuit board. This airflow provides required cooling for chassis components.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 3-3

Installation Overview Mounting OS6400 Switches

Installation Overview

OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can be installed in various configurations. Refer to the guidelines below before mounting the chassis and power supplies.

Note. OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches must be placed “right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch positioned on its side.

Mounting Guidelines

• Installation of a power supply shelf and external power supply is required for PoE-ready OmniSwitch

6400 Series models (OS6400-P24 and OS6400-P48). All other models have an internal power supply and external power supplies are only needed if power redundancy is required.

• Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow and access to the front, back, and

sides of the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to page 3-1.

• Be sure that you have placed the chassis within reach of all the required AC or DC power sources.

• If you are placing multiple switches in a stacked configuration Be sure to maintain adequate clearance

at the front, rear, left, and right side of all switches (see page 3-1). Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis. Also, be sure that you have placed all switches in the stack within reach of required power sources and necessary cables once the switches are stacked together. See “Cabling

Stacked Configurations” on page 3-9.

Mounting Options

The OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can be installed in the following ways:

• Tabletop installation with no external power supply (for OS6400-24 and OS6400-48 switches with no

power redundancy requirements)

• Tabletop installation with power supply directly attached to chassis (for OS6400-P24 and OS6400-P48

models or any OS6400 chassis with power redundancy)

• Rack-mount installation with no external power supply (for OS6400-24 and OS6400-48 switches with

no power redundancy requirements)

• Rack-mount installation with power supply directly attached to rear of the chassis (for OS6400-P24

and OS6400-P48 models or any OS6400 chassis with power redundancy)

• Rack-mount installation with power supply rack-mounted and connected with cable (for OS6400-P24

and OS6400-P48 models or any OS6400 chassis with power redundancy)

Important Note. If an external power supply is to be used (PoE or redundant power configurations), be sure to install the power supply shelf and all external power supplies before table or rack-mounting the chassis. Instructions for installing the power supply shelf and external power supplies are provided on

page 3-12.

page 3-4 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

Mounting OS6400 Switches Tabletop Installation

Tabletop Installation

OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can be installed as a tabletop unit.

Note. Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to “Recommended Clearances” on page 3-1. Also, be sure that you have placed the chassis within the reach of all the required AC power sources.

To install the switch as a tabletop unit, follow the steps below:

1 If no external power supply is required for this installation, skip to step 2.

If a PoE-ready switch (OS6400-P24 and OS6400-P48) or non-PoE switch with redundant system power is being installed, begin this installation by securing an external power supply shelf and power supply to the back of the chassis as described on page 3-12. After completing the power supply shelf and external power supply installation, return to this section to complete the steps below.

2 Remove the factory installed attachment screws and mounting brackets from the left and right sides of

the switch chassis and set them aside.

3 Table mounted switches can be screwed directly to the table using a table mount flange kit (available

from Alcatel-Lucent). (The table mount flanges also provide rubber feet to protect the table surface.) If this kit is to used, orient the table mounting brackets so that the rubber bumper faces down and attach the brackets to both the left and right side of the switch using the attachment screws removed at step (refer to illustration below).

Note. The optional table mount flange kit is not mandatory. If the switch does not need to be firmly secured to the table surface, simply place the switch on the table surface.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 3-5

Tabletop Installation Mounting OS6400 Switches

4 If the table mount flange kit is being used, install the table mount brackets to the rear portion of the

Mounting OS6400 Switches Rack-Mount Installation

Rack-Mount Installation

Rack Mount Guidelines

Refer to the important guidelines below before installing the OmniSwitch 6400 Series chassis on a rack.

• It is recommended that two people install the switch on the rack—one person to hold the chassis and

position it on the rack, and a second person to secure the chassis to the rack using attachment screws (not supplied).

• Alcatel-Lucent provides two rack-mount flanges with each OmniSwitch 6400 Series switch. These

flanges support standard 19-inch rack-mount installations. These flanges must be attached to the chassis before the switch can be rack mounted.

Note. If you are installing the switch in a 23-inch-wide rack, Alcatel-Lucent offers optional 23-inch rackmounting hardware. For more information, contact your Alcatel-Lucent representative.

• Alcatel-Lucent does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the screws supplied by the rack vendor.

• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install heavier equipment at

the bottom of the rack, whenever possible.

• If you are installing the switch on a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per the rack manu-

facturer’s specifications.

• Review page 3-1 for important chassis airflow and access recommendations before installing.

Rack Mounting Steps

1 If no external power supply is required for this installation, skip to step 2.

External power supplies can be installed directly to the rear of the chassis or in the rack directly above or below the switch. If an external power supply is being mounted to the rear of the chassis, begin this installation by following the steps beginning on page 3-12. After completing the power supply shelf and external power supply installation, return to this section and complete the steps below.

Rack Mounting Power Supplies. Detailed information on rack mounting power supplies is provided on

page 3-7.

2 Mark the holes on the rack where the switch is to be installed.

3 Lift and position the switch until the factory installed rack mount flanges are flush with the rack post.

4 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that were marked in step 2.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 3-7

Rack-Mount Installation Mounting OS6400 Switches

5 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw (not provided) through the bottom hole of each

flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.

Attaching the Switch to the Rack

Note. Be sure to install the screws in the bottom hole of each flange, as shown, before proceeding.

6 Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are secure, install the remaining rack mount screw. Be

sure that all screws are securely tightened.

Mounting OS6400 Switches Setting Up a Stacked Configuration

Setting Up a Stacked Configuration

Rack Mounting Stacked Configurations

Prior to setting up and cabling the stacked configuration, be sure that all switches are in place and installed according to the instructions beginning on page 3-5 (table mount configuration) or 3-7 (rack mount configuration). Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis.

Note. When rack mounting multiple switches in a stacked configuration, be sure to position all switches in the rack so that all required stacking cables will have adequate length for the installation.

Cabling Stacked Configurations

In order to connect stacked switches into a virtual chassis, all modules in the stack must be connected via stacking cables.

Redundant Stacking Cable Connections

In addition to the stacking cables installed between adjacent switch, the top-most switch and bottom-most switch in the stack must be connected using a redundant stacking cable.

Recommended Cabling Patterns

Switches in a stack are connected to each other by stacking cables. The valid cable lengths are 1.5m (4.9 feet), 60cm (23.6 inches), and 30cm (11.8 inches). These stacking cables provide high-speed, dualredundant links between switches in a stack.

For a stack to have effective redundancy, a redundant stacking cable must be installed between the upper- most and bottom-most switch at all times. This provides effective failover in the event of a stacking link or module failure within the stack.

The diagram below shows the recommended stacking cable pattern.

A B

A stack of eight switches in a crossed (stacking port A to stacking port B) configuration. Note that a redundant stacking cable connection exists between the top and bottom switches. This connection is required for effective redundancy across the stack.

Recommended Stacking Cable Patterns (Chassis Rear Panels Shown)

Setting Up a Stacked Configuration Mounting OS6400 Switches

Cabling Steps

1 Before inserting a stacking cable into one of the stacking, be sure to orient the stacking cable connec-

tor properly. The wide portion of the connector must be facing up. Refer to the diagram below for more information.

Connector Top

2 Starting from the top of the stack, insert one end of the stacking cable into either stacking port A or

stacking port B. The stacking port (A or B) depends on your preferred cabling pattern. Be sure that cable connector is completely inserted and fully seated in the chassis.

3 Insert the other end of the stacking cable into the stacking port of the switch immediately below. Once

again, the stacking port (A or B) depends on the preferred cabling pattern.

4 Repeat this procedure until all switches in the stack are connected (see illustrations a, b, and c below).

Reminder. The diagram below shows one supported stacking cable pattern. For additional supported cabling patterns, refer to Chapter 6, “Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks.”

When orienting the stacking cable connector, be sure that the wider portion of the connector is facing up as shown. Otherwise, the stacking cable will not fit properly in the chassis’ stacking port.

page 4-4 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

5 Managing Power over

Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported on OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches and provides inline power directly from the switch’s Ethernet. Powered Devices (PDs) such as IP phones, wireless LAN stations, Ethernet hubs, and other access points can be plugged directly into the Ethernet. From these RJ-45 the devices receive both electrical power and data flow.

As the feature reduces devices’ dependence on conventional power sources, PoE eliminates many restrictions that traditional electrical considerations have imposed on networks.

In a PoE configuration, Power Source Equipment (PSE) detects the presence of a PD and provides an electrical current that is conducted along the data cable. The PD operates using the power received via the Ethernet data cable; no connection to an additional power source (e.g., an AC wall socket) is required.

Note. There are several general terms used to describe the feature, PoE. The terms Power over Ethernet (PoE), Power over LAN (PoL), Power on LAN (PoL), and Inline Power are synonymous terms used to describe the powering of attached devices via Ethernet. For consistency, this chapter and the CLI Command Reference Guide refer to the feature as Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Additional terms, such as Powered Device (PD) and Power Source Equipment (PSE) are not synonymous with PoE, but are directly related to the feature:

• PD refers to any attached device that uses a PoE data cable as its only source of power. Examples

include access points, such as IP telephones, Ethernet hubs, wireless LAN stations, etc.

• PSE refers to power sourcing equipment, which provides power to a single link section. PSE main

functions include searching the PD, optionally classifying the PD, supplying power to the link section only if the PD is detected, monitoring the power on the link section, and scaling power back to detect level when power is no longer requested or required.

As the OmniSwitch fully supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, you may also attach non-PD equipment, such as computer workstations, printers, servers, etc. to the PoE. See Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6400

Series Chassis and Hardware Components.” for more information on the OmniSwitch 6400 Series chassis.

Note. Alcatel-Lucent recommends that PoE-enabled switches with attached IP telephones should have operational power supply redundancy at all times for 911 emergency requirements. In addition, both the switch and the power supply should be plugged into an Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS).

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 5-1

Understanding and Modifying the Default Settings

The sections below provide information on each of the key components within the Power over Ethernet software. They include information on PoE-related CLI commands. For detailed information on PoErelated commands, refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Note. PoE units support two different power supplies as noted above. If unlike power supplies are mixed or if an unsupported power supply (such as a 120W power supply) is used, a console message and a trap are generated.

Setting the PoE Operational Status

Enabling PoE

By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the lanpower start command on a slot-by-slot basis before any connected PDs will receive inline power.

To activate power to PoE-capable in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only. For example:

-> lanpower start 1

If power to a particular port has been disconnected via the lanpower stop command, you can reactivate power to the port by specifying both the slot and port in the command line. For example:

-> lanpower start 1/11

Note. You cannot use the slot/port syntax to initially activate PoE on a port. This syntax is intended only to reactivate power to those that have been disconnected via the lanpower stop command. To initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower start slot syntax only, as described above.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 5-5

Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Disabling PoE

To disable PoE on a particular slot or port, use the lanpower stop command.

To disable PoE on a specific PoE-capable port, enter a slot/port number. For example:

-> lanpower stop 1/22

To disable PoE for all PoE-capable in a slot, enter the corresponding slot number only. For example:

-> lanpower stop 1

Configuring the Total Power Allocated to a Port

PoE automatically allocates a default value of milliwatts, as noted in the specifications table, for each port on the OmniSwitch. In other words, each port is authorized by the system software to use up to the default amount of milliwatts to power any attached device.

You can either increase or decrease this value based on the ranges listed in the specifications table.

Increasing the total power allocated to an individual port may provide a more demanding Powered Device (PD) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power allocated to a port helps to preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch’s power budget.

To increase or decrease the total power allocated to an individual port, use the lanpower power command. Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual port, you must specify a slot/port number in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower 1/12 power 3000

reduces the power allowance on port 1/12 of the OmniSwitch to 3000 milliwatts. This new value is now the maximum amount of power the port can use to power any attached device (until the value is modified by the user).

Configuring the Total Power Allocated to a Switch

Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power allowance. Each slot is authorized by the system software to use up to default value of Watts, as noted in the specifications table, to power all devices connected to it depending on which power supply is used.

As with the maximum port power allowance, this value can be either increased or decreased. Values may range from the values listed in the specifications table and are dependent upon the installed power supply.

Increasing the total power allocated to a slot may provide more demanding Powered Devices (PDs) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power allocated to a slot helps preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch’s power budget.

Note. Before changing the maximum slot-wide power allowance, you must disable PoE for the slot via the

lanpower stop command. Once the new value is assigned, re-enable PoE for the slot via the lanpower start command.

page 5-6 OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters

To increase or decrease the total power allocated to a slot, use the lanpower maxpower command. Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual slot, you must specify a slot number in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower 1 maxpower 80

reduces the power allowance of the slot 1 to 80 watts. This value is now the maximum amount of power the slot can use to power all attached devices (until the value is modified by the user).

Setting Port Priority Levels

As not all Powered Devices (PDs) connected to the switch have the same priority within a customer network setting, the OmniSwitch allow the user to specify priority levels on a port-by-port basis. Priority levels include low, high, and critical. The default priority level for a port is low.

• Low. This default value is used for port(s) that have low-priority devices attached. In the event of a

power management issue, inline power to low-priority is interrupted first (i.e., before critical and highpriority).

• High. This value is used for port(s) that have important, but not mission-critical, devices attached. If

other in the chassis have been configured as critical, inline power to high-priority is given second priority.

• Critical. This value is used for port(s) that have mission-critical devices attached, and therefore require

top (i.e., critical) priority. In the event of a power management issue, inline power to critical is maintained as long as possible.

To change the priority level for a particular port, use the lanpower priority command. Since the switch allows you to set priority levels on a port-by-port basis, be sure to specify slot/port information in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower 1/22 priority critical

changes the priority value of port 1/22 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default value has been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical for network operations.

Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Setting the Capacitor Detection Method

By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled on an OmniSwitch. To enable it, use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detection followed by the slot number and enable.

For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 1, enter:

-> lanpower capacitor-detection 1 enable

To disable it, use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detection followed by the slot number and disable.

For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 1, enter:

-> lanpower capacitor-detection 1 disable

Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature is

not compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive detection enabled.

Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Priority Disconnect

Understanding Priority Disconnect

The priority disconnect function differs from the port priority function described on page 5-7 in that it applies only to the addition of powered devices (PDs) in tight power budget conditions. Priority disconnect is used by the system software in determining whether an incoming PD will be granted or denied power when there are too few watts remaining in the PoE power budget for an additional device. For example, if there are only 2 watts available in the current PoE power budget and a user plugs a 3.5W powered device into a PoE port, the system software must determine whether the device will be powered on. Based on priority disconnect rules, in some cases one or more existing devices may be powered down in order to accommodate the incoming device. In other cases, the incoming device will be denied power.

Priority disconnect rules involve the port priority status of an incoming device (i.e., low, high, and critical), as well as the port’s physical port number (i.e., 1–24). Understanding priority disconnect rules is especially helpful in avoiding power budget deficits and the unintentional shutdown of mission-critical devices when PDs are being added in tight power budget conditions. For detailed information on how priority disconnect uses port priority and port number criteria for determining the power status of incoming PDs, refer to the examples on pages 5-10 through 5-11.

Note. Priority disconnect applies only when there is inadequate power remaining in the power budget for an incoming device.

For information on setting the priority disconnect status, refer to the section below. For information on setting the port priority status (a separate function from priority disconnect), refer to “Setting Port Priority

Levels” on page 5-7.

Setting Priority Disconnect Status

By default, priority disconnect is enabled in the switch’s system software. For information on changing the priority disconnect status, refer to the information below.

Disabling Priority Disconnect

When priority disconnect is disabled and there is inadequate power in the budget for an additional device, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).

To disable priority disconnect, use the lanpower priority-disconnect command. Since the switch allows you to set priority disconnect status on a slot-by-slot basis, be sure to specify the slot number in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower 1 priority-disconnect disable

disables the priority disconnect function on slot 1.

Enabling Priority Disconnect

To enable priority disconnect, use the lanpower priority-disconnect command. Be sure to specify the slot number in the command line. For example, the syntax

-> lanpower 1 priority-disconnect enable

enables priority disconnect on slot 1.

Understanding Priority Disconnect Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Same Priority Level on All PD

Note. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power. Lowernumbered receive higher priority than higher-numbered. In other words, a PD connected to Port 1 will have a higher power priority than a PD connected to Port 2; a PD connected to Port 23 will have a higher power priority than a PD connected to Port 24. In order to avoid a power budget deficit, another port in the slot is disconnected. In determining which port to power off, the system software disconnects the port with the highest physical port number.

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Highest Priority Level

Note. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with a higher priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming PD will automatically be granted power over the other devices, regardless of its physical port number.

In order to avoid a power budget deficit, another port in the slot is disconnected. In determining which port to power off, the system software first selects the port with the lowest configured priority level. For example, if a critical priority device is being added to a slot in which five existing devices are attached to high priority and one device is attached to a low priority port, the low priority port is automatically disconnected, regardless of its physical port number.

If all existing devices are attached with the same lower priority level, the system software disconnects the port with both the lowest priority level and the highest physical port number. For example, if a critical priority device is being added to a slot in which six existing devices are attached to high priority, the high priority port with the highest physical port number is automatically disconnected.

Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Incoming PD Port has Lowest Priority Level

Note. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

When a PD is being connected to a port with a lower priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming PD will be denied power, regardless of its physical port number. Devices connected to other higher-priority will continue operating without interruption.

Monitoring Power over Ethernet via CLI Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Monitoring Power over Ethernet via CLI

To monitor current PoE statistics and settings, use the show lanpower command. The command output displays a list of all current PoE-capable, along with the following information for each port:

• Maximum power allocated to the port, in milliwatts

• Actual power used by the port

• Current port status

• Power priority status

• Power on/off status

Aggregate slot and chassis management information is also displayed. This information includes:

• Maximum watts allocated to the corresponding slot

• Amount of power budget remaining that can be allocated for PoE modules

• Total amount of power remaining that can be allocated for additional switch functions

When entering the show lanpower command, you must include a valid slot number in the command line syntax. For example:

-> show lanpower 1 Port Maximum(mW) Actual Used(mW) Status Priority On/Off

6400 Series Stacks

In addition to their working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can also be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, users can easily expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features. For more information, refer to page 6-3.

Note. See Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6400 Series Chassis and Hardware Components,” for information on managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches in a stand-alone configuration.

Note. Other stackable Alcatel-Lucent products, such as the OmniSwitch 6850, cannot be added to a stacked OmniSwitch 6400 Series virtual chassis.

Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stack Overview

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stack Overview

Users can configure up to eight OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches, in any combination of OS6400-24 and OS6400-48 chassis types, into a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, switching capacity can be easily expanded simply by adding additional switches to the stack. For example, a user can start with a stack composed of two switches and add up to six additional switches to that stack as network demands increase over time.

Note. Switches should be added one at a time in a stack.

Stacks also provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features. If a switch in a stack goes down or is taken offline, the other elements in the stack will continue to operate without disruption. In addition, when a switch auto-synchronizes at boot-up, or if the user manually synchronize the switches (see “Synchroniz-

ing Switches in a Stack” on page 6-35 for more information), operating software and configuration param-

eters are backed up on all switches in the stack. As a result, the original operating software and configuration parameters can be easily recovered if corrupted or otherwise lost.

Note on Terminology. In the user guides provided with your OmniSwitch 6400 Series switch, the terms stack and virtual chassis are interchangeable referring to OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches in a stacked configuration. The terms module, switch, slot, and element are used to refer to individual switches within a stacked configuration. The terms Chassis Management Module (CMM) and management module refer to those switches operating in a stack either in the primary or secondary management roles. OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches operating in an idle role are essentially acting as network interface modules and therefore may be referred to as Network Interfaces (NIs).

Roles Within the Stack

In order to operate as a virtual chassis, switches within an OmniSwitch 6400 Series stack are assigned specific roles. These roles include primary and secondary management roles, idle status, and pass-through. For detailed descriptions of each of these roles, including their practical functions within the virtual chassis, refer to the sections below.

Primary and Secondary Management Modules

When OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches operate in a stack, one switch in the stack always assumes the primary management role. This primary element is responsible for functions, such as software and configuration management, web-based management (i.e., WebView), SNMP management, switch diagnostics, and software rollback.

One additional switch in the stack operates in a secondary management role. This switch serves as a backup, and is always ready to assume the primary management role in the stack if the switch with the primary role fails or is taken offline for any reason.

Since the secondary module quickly and automatically assumes management responsibilities, switches operating in idle mode elsewhere in the stack continue to pass traffic without disruption. This redundancy provides effective safeguards for mission-critical network traffic and is one of the stack’s most important failover features. Diagrams showing the management module failover sequence for stacks of three or more switches and stacks of two switches are provided on pages 6-4 and 6-5, respectively.

OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users Guide August 2008 page 6-3

Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks

Important Note. For management module redundancy to work effectively, the software on all switches operating in the stack must be synchronized at all times. Refer to “Synchronizing Switches in a Stack” on

page 6-35 for more information.

A stack of four OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches is

operating normally. The stack consists of a primary module, secondary module, and two elements operating in idle status. (The software on all elements in the stack is synchronized.)

The primary management module in the stack fails or is

taken offline (e.g., powered off or rebooted by the user).

The switch operating as the secondary management module

immediately takes over the primary role. Meanwhile, the adjacent switch—previously operating in idle status—now assumes the secondary management role.

If the switch that failed or was taken offline comes back online, it will assume an idle role in the stack. In other words, it will act essentially as an NI module in the virtual chassis, passing traffic via its Ethernet.
