OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview

Power over HD Base-T (PoH) Support

OmniSwitch 6450-P10S models offer PoE (four pair) ports 1-4 that are compliant with the PoE portion of the Power over HD Base-T (PoH) standard, up to ~75W per port, with a 280W PoE power budget. These ports are labeled “HPoE” on the chassis front panel.
Note. PoH is supported on OmniSwitch 6450-P10S models only. PoE support of up to 30W per port is provided on PoE ports 5 through 8. The maximum PoE power budget available for all ports on the OmniSwitch 6450-P10S is 280W. Refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware
Components” for more information.

IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Support

OmniSwitch 6450-P10S and OmniSwitch 6450-U24S models provide support for IEEE 1588 Version 2 end-to-end transparent clocking.
IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks throughout a network. On a local area network, it achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
Note. PTP is supported on OmniSwitch 6450-P10S and OmniSwitch 6450-U24S models only. When PTP mode is enabled, OmniSwitch 6450-U24S switches act as a standalone devices and cannot become part of a stack. Refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components” for more information.

Security Features

OmniSwitch 6450 switches offer extensive security features for network access control, policy enforcement and attack containment, enabling fully secure networks and OmniVista Network Management System (NMS) support.

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 hardware- and 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 rep lacing 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 5-25 for more information.
1G uplink modules (“like” kinds only). Refer to “Swapping Expansion Modules” on page 5-3 for
more information.
10G stacking modules (“like” kinds only). Refer to “Swapping Expansion Modules” on page 5-3 for
more information.
Power supply connector cables
Transceivers. Refer to Omn iSw itc h 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 Hardware Users Guide January 2015 page 1-5
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 2, “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 2, “OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and
Hardware Components.” The show commands for all the features are described in detail in th e
OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide.

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 se nt 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, the following Syslog message is sent to the first four configured Syslog servers, along with the time of the failure:

4 Booting
OmniSwitch 6450 Switches
For information on booting stand-alone switches and switches in stacked configurations, refer to the sections below.

Booting an OmniSwitch

The switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the power supply rear panel. For more information, refer to
“OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components” on page 2-1.
To boot the switch, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few moments for the switch to boot co mpletely, then verify the status of all LEDs on the switch’s front panel. A successful boot disp lays the following LED states:
LED States for a Stand-Alone Switch
OK Solid green or blinking amber PRI Solid green STK Off or solid amber PWR Solid Green
LED States for a Stacked Switch
OK Solid green or blinking amber PRI Solid green (Primary); Amber (Secondary); Off (Idle) STK Green PWR Solid Green
If any of the LED state differs from the states shown in the table above, refer to page 2-5 for more information. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support if the LED state persists.
For information on logging in and configuring your switch, refer to the OmniSwitch 6450 Getting Started Guide.
OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide January 2015 page 4-1
Console Port Booting OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

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 switc h for the first time. By default, this RJ-45 connector provides a 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 va lue . Opt io ns
include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38 400, 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 4-2 OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide January 2015
Booting OmniSwitch 6450 Switches 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
Caution. 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 incomp at ibl e 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.

Monitoring the Chassis Booting OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

Monitoring the Chassis

The OmniSwitch can be monitored and managed via the console port using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands. The switches can also be monitored and managed via the Ethernet using CLI commands, WebView, SNMP, and OmniVista.
The section below provides some examples of useful hard ware-related monitoring CLI commands. Refer to the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide for detailed information on all management and monitoring commands used with the OmniSwitch.

Checking the Overall Chassis Status

To check the overall status of a chassis, including the chassis type, and current administrative and operational status, use the show chassis command. For example:
-> show chassis
Chassis 1 Model Name: 6450 10 PORT COPPER GE, Description: Virtual Chassis, Part Number: 903005-90, Hardware Revision: 03, Serial Number: M338153P, Manufacture Date: AUG 13 2011, Admin Status: POWER ON, Operational Status: UP, Number Of Resets: 4 MAC Address: e8:e7:32:12:e6:6e,
For a complete list of output definitions for this command, refer to the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide.

Checking the Temperature Status

To check chassis temperature status, including the current temperature and configured threshold values, use the show temperature command. For example:
-> show temperature
Temperature for chassis 1 Hardware Board Temperature (deg C) = 54, Temperature Upper Threshold Range (deg C) = 0 to 85, Temperature Upper Threshold (deg C) = 81, Temperature Status = UNDER THRESHOLD, Temperature Danger Threshold (deg C) = 85

page 4-6 OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide January 2015
5 Managing Power over Ethernet
(PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported on OmniSwitch 6450 switches and provides inline power directly from the switch’s Ethernet ports. Powered Devices (PDs) such as IP phones and wireless APs can be powered directly from the switch’s RJ-45 ports.
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 on Terminology. There are several general terms used to describe this feature. The terms Power over Ethernet (PoE), LAN Power, Power over LAN (PoL), Power on LAN (PoL), and Inline Power are
synonymous terms used to describe the powering of attached devices through Ethernet ports. This documentation refers to the feature as Power over Ethernet (PoE) and related CLI commands use the syntax, lanpower.
Additional terms, such as Powered Device (PD) and Power Source Equipment (PSE) are terms that are not synonymous, but are directly related to PoE.
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, and so on.
PSE refers to the actual hardware source of the electrical current for PoE.
As the OmniSwitch 6450 switches fully support Ethernet connectiv it y, you may also attach non-PD equipment, such as computer worksta tions, printers, servers, etc. to PoE ports. See Chapter 2,
“OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components,” for more information on the OmniSwitch 6450
chassis.
Important. 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).

PoE Class Detection

Powered devices can be classified into different classes as shown in the table below. Class detection allows for automatic maximum power adjustment based on the power class detected. This will prevent the switch from delivering more than the maximum power allowed based on a device’s class.
During class detection the switch will allocate the maximum amount of power allowed based on the class detected. Once powered, if the device uses less than the maximum the remaining power will be made available for other devices.
Class
Usage Classification
Current (mA)
Power Range (Watts)
Class Description
0 Default 0-4 0.44-30.00 Unimplemented 1 Optional 9-12 0.44-3.84 Very Low Power 2 Optional 17-20 3.84-6.49 Low Power 3 Optional 26-30 6.49-15.40 Mid Power 4 Optional 36-44 15.4-31.00 High Power
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 1/1
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.
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 1/4
To disable PoE for all PoE-capable in a slot, enter the corresponding slot number only. For example:
-> lanpower stop 1
OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide January 2015 page 5-5
Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Configuring the Total Power Available to a Port
By default, each port is authorized by th e sy stem so ft wa re to use up to a maximum amount of milliwatts to power any attached device.
You can either increase or decrease this value based on the range in the specifications table. Increasing the total power available to an individual port may provide a more demanding Powered Device
(PD) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power available 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 available 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 1/1 power 3000
reduces the power available on port 1 of the switch 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 Available to a Switch
Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power allowance. By default, each switch is authorized by the system software to use up to the maximum watts available from the PoE power supply.
As with the maximum port power allowance, the user can either increase or decrease this value based on the range in the specifications table.
Increasing the total power available to a switch may provide more demanding Powered Devices (PDs) with additional power required for operation. Decreasing the total power available helps preserve inline power and assists in the overall management of the switch’s power budget.
Important. Before changing the maximum slot-wide power allowance, you must d isabl e 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.
To increase or decrease the total power available 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 40
reduces the power allowance of slot 1 to 40 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).
Note. Changing the maximum power available to a slot or port does not reserve or immediately allocate that power. These settings are only used for configuring a maximum amount of power that may be used,
any unused power is still available and remains a part of the overall PoE budget.
page 5-6 OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide January 2015
Setting Port Priority Levels
As not all Powered Devices (PDs) connected to the switch have the same priority within a customer network setting, the switch allows the user to specify priority levels on a port-by-port basis. Priority level s 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 1/1 priority critical
changes the priority value of port 1 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 missi on critical for network operations.

Understanding Priority Disconnect Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)

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 powere d devices (PDs) in tig ht power bu dget condit ions . Priority disc onnect 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., 1/1). Understanding priority disconnect rules is especially helpful in avoiding power budget defi cits and the unintentional shutdown of mission-critical devices when PDs are being added in tight power budget conditions. Fo r detailed information on how priority disconnect uses port priority and port number criteria for determining the po we r stat us of incoming PDs, refer to the examples on pages 5-9 through 5-10.
Reminder. 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., 1/4).
To disable priority disconnect, use the lanpower priority-disconnect command. Since the switch allows you to set priority disconnect status on a slot-by-slo t 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.
