Application ExampleOmniSwitch 9000 Series
s
Application Example
The following application example shows one of the many ways OmniSwitch 9000 switches can be used
in an Enterprise network setting:
• Core Switch. In this example, an OS9800 is used as the core switch. Because the example network has
a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet or 10-gigabit Ethernet backbone, the Network Interface (NI) cards in the
chassis will be comprised mainly of Gigabit Ethernet or 10-gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (GNI,
XNI) modules. The core switch connects to wiring closet switches as well as the company server farm.
• Wiring Closet Switches. The switches in wiring closets 1, 2, and 3 must contain some GNI/XNI
modules in order to link to the Gigabit Ethernet/10-gigabit Ethernet core switch. However, in most
cases, these switches will largely be comprised of Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (GNI) modules.
GNI modules support either 10/100/1000 (copper) or 100/1000 (fiber) Gigabit Ethernet connections.
These Ethernet ports connect to various network devices, such as workstations, IP phones, and servers.

OmniSwitch 9000 SeriesAvailability Features
Availability Features
The switch provides a broad variety of Availability features. Availability features are hardware and
software-based safeguards that help prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem failure. In addition, some Availability features allow you to maintain or replace hardware components without powering off your switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help ensure that your switch is consistently available for your day-to-day network operations.
Hardware-related Availability features include:
• Hardware Redundancy
• Smart Continuous Switching
• Software Rollback
• Hot Swapping
• Hardware Monitoring
• Power Checking Sequence
Information on software-related availability is provided in the OmniSwitch 6800/9000 Switch Management Guide and the OmniSwitch 6800/9000 Network Configuration Guide. Refer to the corresponding
feature chapter (e.g., VRRP).
Hardware Redundancy
Hardware redundancy refers to backup hardware components. If primary hardware components fail or go
offline for any reason, the redundant hardware automatically assumes the primary hardware functions (this
is also referred to as failover). The following components offer redundancy:
• Chassis Management Modules (CMMs)
• Power Supplies
• Fan Units
• MAC EEPROM
Note. Redundancy is a key Availability feature; it is recommended that you install redundant hardware
components in your switch whenever possible. However, CMM redundancy is not supported on the
OS9600 switch because it contains only one CMM slot.
For detailed information on CMM redundancy, refer to Chapter 4, “Chassis Management Module
(CMM).” For information on power supply and fan redundancy, refer to Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power
Supplies.”

In redundant CMM configurations, the switch provides support for NIs during failover. In other words, if
the primary CMM fails or goes offline for any reason, NI modules will continue data transmission and
routing functions during the secondary CMM’s takeover process. This Availability feature is referred to as
Smart Continuous Switching.
Incoming Layer 2 packets will continue to be sent to the appropriate egress port during failover. Known
routes will also be supported. (Note, however, that the NI cannot learn new routes without CMM support.
Any new route information will be ignored.) Spanning Tree will continue handling BPDUs received on the
switch ports, as well as port link up and down states. The Spanning Tree topology will not be disrupted.
Note. Smart Continuous Switching is designed to maintain data flow only during CMM failover and is not
intended to support long-term data flow. If both the primary and secondary CMM modules go offline or
are removed from the chassis, switch operations (including all NI support) will be disabled. However,
smart continuous switching is not possible on the OS9600 switch because it contains only one CMM slot.
For more information on CMM redundancy and the failover process, refer to Chapter 4, “Chassis Manage-
ment Module (CMM).”
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 CMM 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 Contents” chapter in the Switch
Management Guide.

OmniSwitch 9000 SeriesAvailability Features
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing certain hardware components without
powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the chassis. This feature greatly facilitates
hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely
event of hardware failure. The following hardware components can be hot swapped:
Hot Swapping Non-Redundant Management Modules and Power Supplies. If there is only one CMM
or power supply installed in the chassis and either of these components is removed or replaced, all switch
functions will stop until a replacement is installed. However, hot swapping is not possible on the OS9600
switch because it contains only one CMM slot.
Hot Swapping NI Modules. It is recommended that you hot swap NIs of the same type
(e.g., OS9-GNI-C24) whenever possible. Otherwise, the network configuration may be adversely affected.
For information on hot swapping CMMs, refer to Chapter 4, “Chassis Management Module (CMM).”
For information on hot swapping NI modules, refer to Chapter 5, “Network Interface (NI) Modules.”
For information on hot swapping power supplies and the fan tray, refer to Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power
Supplies.”
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. The
majority of automatic monitoring is provided by the CMM. If an error is detected (e.g., over-threshold
temperature), the CMM 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 CMM displays
an amber TEMP LED in addition to sending a trap.)
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the CMM, NI, and power supply front
panels. 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 the corresponding hardware component chapter (e.g., “Network Interface (NI) Modules”).
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. The Show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI Refer-ence Guide.
OmniSwitch 9000 Series Hardware Users GuideJune 2007page 1-5
Availability FeaturesOmniSwitch 9000 Series
Power Checking Sequence
The power checking sequence is another built-in Availability feature. This feature helps regulate power in
the switch whenever the switch is booted or an NI module is installed in the chassis.
The sequence is a joint effort between the CMM, the NI modules, and the power supplies. During the boot
sequence, the primary CMM automatically compares the power consumption required by installed NIs
with the power available from the power supplies. If there is not adequate power to support all NIs, the
CMM will power on only the supported number of NIs, starting from the first NI slot position.
Important. During the power checking sequence, CMMs receive priority and are always powered on. NI
modules are then powered on sequentially by slot position. In other words, the NI in slot 1 is powered on,
then slot 2, then slot 3, etc. For information on slot positions, refer to Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power
Supplies.”
Installing a New NI into a Running Chassis
When an NI module is installed in the chassis, only a small portion of the circuitry is initially powered up.
The CMM immediately reads the incoming module’s ID and determines how much power the module will
require. If the number of power supplies installed in the chassis can provide sufficient power, the CMM
turns on the incoming module. If the number of installed power supplies cannot provide sufficient power,
the incoming NI will remain powered off.

OmniSwitch 9600
The OmniSwitch 9600 is a high performance switch offering four slots for Gigabit Ethernet and/or
10 gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (NI) modules. An additional one slot is reserved for the primary
Chassis Management Module (CMM). The OmniSwitch 9600 supports a maximum of two load sharing
power supplies on the front panel and there are optional power connectors, which consist of three DB-25
connectors mounted on the rear panel of the chassis for PoE applications. Either OS9-IP-SHELF or
360W/510W power supplies can be used. The first two connectors support OS9-IP-SHELF power supplies
and the third connector supports 360W/510W power supplies.
Note. Power supply requirements are based on the number of NIs installed in the chassis. Refer to
“Power Supplies” on page 2-16 for important information on power supplies and power supply redun-
dancy.
