Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the switch to return to a prior “la st
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 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:

• Backup power supplies

• Power supply connector cables

• SFPs

Note. For instructions on hot swapping backup power supplies, refer to Chapter 4, “Mounting OS6250

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

with the SFP.

OmniSwitch 6250 Availability Features

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 6250 Chassis and Hardware Compo-

nents.”

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 6250 Chassis and

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

witch CLI Reference Guide.

Backup Power Supplies

Some OmniSwitch 6250 switches support an optional backup power supply. 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 power supplies, refer to Chapter 3, “OmniSwitch 6250 Chassis and Hard-

ware Components.”

2 Getting Started

Installing the Hardware

Items Required

• Grounding wrist strap

• Phillips screwdriver

• Flat-blade screwdriver

Site Preparation

Environmental Requirements

OmniSwitch 6250 switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:

• The installation site must maintain a temperature between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 113° Fahrenhe it)

and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-condensing) at any time.

• Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation at the front, back, and sides of the switch.

Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on page 2-3 for minimum clearance requirements. No clearance is
necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.

Electrical Requirements

Note. Alcatel-Lucent switches must be installed by a professional installer. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that proper grounding is available and that the installation meets applicable local and
national electrical codes.

OmniSwitch 6250 switches have the following general electrical requirements:

• Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for the chassis power supply. OmniSwitch 6250

switches offer AC power supply support only. Refer to the following chapters for
more information.

• Each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet). Do not use extension cords.

Redundant AC Power. It is recommended that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With

redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supplies (on separate circuits)
can remain operational.

Note. A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. Privileges determine whether
the user has read or write access to the switch and which commands the user is authorized to execute. For
detailed information on setting up and modifying user accounts, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 6

Switch Management Guide.

page 2-6 OmniSwitch 6250 Hardware Users Guide September 2015

Getting Started Your First Login Session

Unlocking Session Types

Security is a key feature on OmniSwitch 6250 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 th e switc h. 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.

OmniSwitch 6250 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 2-7

Your First Login Session Getting Started

Changing the Login Password

Change the login password for admin user sessions by following the steps below:

1 Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on

page 2-6).

2 Enter the keyword password and press Enter.
3 Enter your new password at the prompt.

Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new passwords; overriding configured passwords on an

OmniSwitch is restricted.

4 You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter the password a second time.

New password settings are automatically saved in real time to the local user database; the user is not required
to enter an additional command in order to save the password information. Also note that new password
information is retained following a reboot. All subsequent login sessions, including those through the console
port, will require the new password to access the switch.

For detailed information on managing login information, including user names and passwords, refer to the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Switch Management Guide.

Setting the System Time Zone

The switch’s default time zone is UTC. If you require a time zone that is spe cifi c to y ou r region , or if you nee d
to enable Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the switch, you can configure these settings via the system
timezone and system daylight-savings-time commands.

For detailed information on configuring a time zone for the switch, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 6
Switch Management Guide.

Setting the Date and Time

Set the current time for the switch by entering system time, followed by the current time in hh:mm:ss.

To set the current date for the switch, enter system date, followed by the current date in mm/dd/yyyy.

Getting Started Your First Login Session

Setting Optional Parameters

Specifying an Administrative Contact

An administrative contact is the person or department in charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users
can easily find the appropriate network administrator if they have questions or comments about the switch.

To specify an administrative contact, use the system contact command.

Specifying a System Name

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch.

To specify a system name, use the system name command.

Specifying the Switch’s Location

It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for locating and identifying your switch(es).
Examples include placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e.g., the switch’s default IP address) on
each chassis.

However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if you need to determine a switch’s location from a
remote site, entering a system location can be very useful.

To specify a system location, use the system location command.

Viewing Your Changes

To view your current changes, enter show system at the CLI prompt.

Saving Your Changes

Once you have configured this basic switch information, save your changes by entering write memory at the
CLI command prompt.

Overtemp Condition

The OmniSwitch 6250 is designed to operate within a specified operating temperature as noted under the
specifications section. However, in the event that the normal operating temperature of the switch is
exceeded, the following will occur:

• Upon crossing the configured Upper Threshold, a trap will be sent. (See the OmniSwitch Network

Configuration Guide for information on configuring switch thresholds).

If the temperature continues to rise and reaches the Danger Threshold, the following will occur:

• OK LED will display solid Amber.

• The switch will automatically shutdown

• Once the temperature drops to an acceptable operating level, the switch will automatically restart.

Check the following if an overtemp condition exists:

• Verify that the switch is installed properly in an environment that adheres to the installation instruc-

tions in the following chapters.

• Verify proper airflow to the chassis.

OmniSwitch 6250 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 3-33

Dying Gasp OmniSwitch 6250 Chassis and Hardware Components

Dying Gasp

If the switch loses all power it will maintain power long enough to send a Dying Gasp message before
completely shutting down. An SNMP trap, Syslog message and Link OAM PDUs will be generated.

Scenarios

A Dying Gasp event will be generated in the following scenarios:

• Primary power supply failure (if only power supply present).

• Primary power supply failure and then backup power supply failure.

• Backup power supply failure and then primary power supply failure.

• When a reload command is issued.

• When a takeover command is issued.

Note. Dying gasp will not work when both primary and backup power supplies fail simultaneously.

Connect each power supply to a separate independent power source to avoid simultaneous power failures.

SNMP Trap

As soon as the power failure is detected, an SNMP trap is sent to the first three configured SNMP stations.
The trap includes the follow ing information:

• Slot number

• Power supply type (primary/backup)

• Time of the failure

Use the snmp station command and refer to the SNMP Configuration chapter for information on config­uring an SNMP station.

Syslog Message

As soon as the power failure is detected, a Syslog message is sent to the first four configured Syslog serv­ers. The message includes the following information:

• Syslog message "Dying Gasp Power Failure Event Occurred" along with the time of the failure.

Use the swlog output socket command and refer to the Using Switch Logging Config uration chapter for
information on configuring a Syslog server.

page 3-34 OmniSwitch 6250 Hardware Users Guide September 2015

OmniSwitch 6250 Chassis and Hardware Components Dying Gasp

Link OAM PDU

As soon as the power failure is detected an 802.3ah OAM Information PDU is sent to all ports for which
link OAM is enabled and the LinkOAM port statu s is operational. The PDU will have the Dying Gasp bit
set.

Use the efm-oam and efm-oam port propagate-events commands to enable the generation of an

802.3ah OAM Information PDU upon a dying gasp event:

-> efm-oam enable

-> efm-oam port 2/1-10 propagate-events dying-gasp enable

Link OAM PDU Priority

It may not be possible to generate PDUs on all ports enabled for link OAM. Dying gasp packets will be
sent in the following order based on port priority:

1. Uplink ports

2. Combo ports

3. All other ports

Mounting OS6250 Switches General Installation Recommendations

See table below for recommended clearance
above the chassis.

See table below for recommended clearance
above the chassis.

General Installation Recommendations

Cooling Recommendations

OS6250 non-PoE switches are convection-cooled. Although air flow is not mandatory for switch opera­tion, the best way to ensure proper cooling is to provide some ambient air flow over the switch whenever
possible (e.g., from room fans, etc.).

Recommended Airflow Through Chassis - non-PoE Models

OS6250 PoE switches contain a fan that draws air over the intenal components for proper cooling as
shown in the diagram below. Fans pull air into the left side. Air is vented through the right side and rear of
the chassis.

Airflow Through Chassis - PoE Model

OmniSwitch 6250 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 4-3

General Installation Recommendations Mounting OS6250 Switches

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.

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.

Recommended Clearances

Always allow adequate cleara nce at the front, rear, top, and sides of the switch. The following table shows
the recommended minimum clearances for adequate chassis cooling and access to cabling and
components at the front and rear of the chassis.

Location OS6250

Top 0.875 inches (1/2 RU)
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.

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

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).

Mounting OS6250 Switches Power Supply Information

Power Supply Information

Before getting started, please note that OmniSwitch 6250 power supplies can be installed in a number of
different configurations. For example:

• Non-redundant system power - Provides power requirements to the chassis, with no power supply

redundancy/failover.

• Redundant system power - Provides power requirements to the chassis as well as power supply redun-

dancy/failover.

• Non-redundant system and Power over Ethernet (PoE) - This provides power requirements to the

chassis, as well as power requirements to the PoE ports.

• Redundant system and Power over Ethernet (PoE) - This provides power requirements to the chassis

and PoE ports as well as power supply redundancy/failover to both chassis and PoE.

Refer to the table below for typical power supply and power supply tray requirements for different
configurations.

Assembly Guidelines

Depending on the model, power supplies, and mounting requirements, the OS6250 can be mounted in a
variety of ways.

• Power supply trays can be mounted on the side or back of the chassis or both.

• Two chassis can be mounted side-by-side for rack mounting.

• Power supply trays can be mounted to the rear of the chassis.

Attaching the Power Supply Tray on Side of Chassis

When rack mounting a single switch, the power supply tray can be positioned at the side of the unit assem­bly. This allows the chassis and power supply tray assembly to span the full width of the rack.

If two external power supplies are to be used an additional power supply tray must be mounted immedi­ately behind the switch chassis. Refer to the table on page 4-5 for additional power supply requirements.

General Rack-Mounting Guidelines

If you will be rack-mounting your OS6250 switch(es), refer to the important guidelines below before
installing.

• It is recommended that two people install the switch assembly 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. (Please note that 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 equ ipment at

the bottom of the rack, whenever possible.

• Review page 4-4 for recommended chassis clearances before installing.

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

manufacturer’s specifications.

Wall-Mounting the OS6250-8M

The OmniSwitch OS6250-8M switch can also be installed as a wall-mounted unit.

Note. Only the OS6250-8M supports wall-mounting. (OS6250-WALL-MNT kit required).

General Wall-Mounting Guidelines

• When choosing a location for the switch, be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis

airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of the chassis. For recommended clearances, refer to

“Recommended Clearances” on page 4-4.

• For wall mounting, it is recommended that the chassi s assembly is oriented sideways, with the chassis

front panel facing left, as shown in the diagram below.

• In order to ensure that damage to the power cord does not occur, steps must be taken to provide proper

routing of the power cord, as well as proper access to the switch’s power source (i.e., grounded outlet).
Refer to the guidelines listed below for additional details.

• The power cord for OmniSwitch 6250 switches measures two (2) meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in

length. When wall mounting the switc h, be sure that the mounting location is with in th e rea ch of all the
required power sources. In addition, the power cord must not be attached to the building surface
(e.g., with U-brackets, cord retainer clips, or other fasteners), nor run through walls, ceiling, floors and
similar openings in the building structure.

• Be sure that the wall section and wall attachment screws (not provided) have the required strength to

easily support the chassis assembly. A complete OS6250 chassis assembly—with mounting brackets,
power supply tray, and redundant power supplies—weighs approximately 12 lbs.

• For each mounting hole the use of screws long enough to penetrate any soft surfaces, such as sheet-

rock or drywall, and securely attach to a hard surface such as a wall stud is recommended.

• Two people will be required to wall mo un t the switch: one person to hold the chassis assemb ly in p lac e

and one person to mark the locations for the mounting screws.

• An additional mounting kit is needed for wall-mounting the chassis.

Installing DC Power Source Wire Leads

The DC power supply on your switch contains a power connector with three (3) square slots for connect­ing the positive, negative, and ground wires from a DC power source.

OmniSwitch DC Power Supply Connector

A clamp inside each slot keeps the power wire tightly in place during operation. The DC power supply has
side screws that can be used to remove the connector if required.

These instructions describe how to connect your 3-wire DC power source to the power connector on your
DC power supply. A small flat-tip screwdriver and a wire stripper are required for this procedure.

1 Prepare the three (3) wires—12 gauge—that will plug into the power supply. First make sure they are

not plugged into the DC power source. Next, use a wire stripper to carefully strip between

inches (6-7.5 mm)

2 Open the clamp for the ground wire slot by inserting a small flat-tip screwdriver into the top of the

appropriate circular hole. Loosen the screw so that the clamp for the ground wire opens.

3 Insert the ground wire lead into the slot. The lead you insert must match the lead attached to the DC

power source.

off the end of each wire, removing the outer insulation to expose the copper core.

4 Tighten the clamp by tightening the screw above the slot into which you inserted the wire lead. The

wire lead should be securely attached inside the connector. You should be able to pull on the wire and not
dislodge it.

Warning. For both 48V and -60V input voltages, the positive (+) wire of the sourcing equi pment, such as
a battery or rectifier, must be connected to the positive (+) terminal of the OmniSwitch DC power supply
and the negative (-) wire of the sourcing equipment must be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the
OmniSwitch DC power supply. This rule always applies to both 48V, and -60V inp ut voltages, regardless
of the polarity signs shown on the power supply specification labels such as: -48V, +48 V, or -60V.

Hot-Swapping Power Supplies

Hot swapping is supported on models with redundant power supplies. In order to support the hot swap­ping of power supplies, the switch must have:

• An operational redundant power supply

Note. Hot swapping power supplies on switches without redundant system power will result in system

power interruption and a loss of network connectivity.

To hot swap power supplies, follow the steps below:

1 Begin by locating the power supply to be swapped, then disconnect the power cord from its power

source. The system will remain operational.

2 Remove the two screws located at the top of the power cord retainer bracket. Set the retainer clip and

screws aside; they will need to be rein stalled later.

3 Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
4 Next, remove the attachment screws used to secure the power supply retaining strap to the power

supply tray. Set the screws aside; they will need to be reinstalled later.

5 Carefully remove the retaining strap from the power supply tray. Be careful not to disrupt the

operational power supply adjacent to the power supply being hot swapped.

6 Lift the power supply that is being hot swapped out of the power supply tray and unplug its connector

cable from the power supply port located in the back of the switch chassis.

7 Install the new power supply by following the installati on steps beginnin g at step 3 on pag e 4-13 of this

chapter.
