Who Should Read this Manual? About This Guide

Who Should Read this Manual?

The audience for this users guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need t o con fig­ure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge on the OmniSwitch 6450 hardware will benefit from the material in this guide.

When Should I Read this Manual?

Read this guide as soon as you are ready to familiarize yourself with your switch hardware components.
You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the brief hardware overviews
in the OmniSwitch 6450 Getting Started Guide.

You should already be familiar with the very basics of the switch hardware, such as module LEDs and
module installation procedures. This manual will help you understand your switch hardware components
(e.g., chassis, cables, power supplies, etc.) in greater depth.

What is in this Manual?

This users guide includes the following hardware-related information:

• Descriptions of switch configurations.

• Descriptions of “availability” features.

• Descriptions of chassis types (e.g., OmniSwitch 6450-10).

• Instructions for mounting the chassis.

• Descriptions of hardware components (status LEDs, chassis, cables, backup power supplies, etc.).

• Managing a chassis.

• Hardware-related Command Line Interface (CLI) commands

What is Not in this Manual?

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

“Related Documentation” on page -xv for further information on software configuration guides available

for your switch.

OmniSwitch 6450 Switches OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview

Availability Features

OmniSwitch 6450 switches incorporate advanced Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) protocol s 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 7-25 for more information.

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

more information.

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

more information.

• Power supply connector cables

• Transceivers. Refer to 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 Feature Overview OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

Hardware Monitoring

Automatic Monitoring

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

LEDs

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

Components.”

User-Driven Monitoring

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

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

OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide.

Getting Started Your First Login Session

Unlocking Session Types

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

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

Note. When you unlock session types, you are granting switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet).
As a result, users who know the correct user login and password will have remote access to 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 6350 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 2-7
