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 Hardware Users Guide September 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 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.

Site Preparation

Environmental Requirements

OmniSwitch 6450 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 6450 switches have the following general electrical requirements:

• Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for the chassis power supply. OmniSwitch 6450

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.

Switch Management Guide.

page 2-6 OmniSwitch 6350 Hardware Users Guide September 2015

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

Your First Login Session Getting Started

Changing the Login Password

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

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.

page 3-48 OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide September 2015

OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components Dying Gasp

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:

Dying Gasp Power Failure Event Occurred

Use the swlog output socket command to add a Syslog station. Refer to the Using Switch Logging
Configuration chapter in the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Network Configuration Guide for informatio n on

configuring a Syslog server.

OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 3-49

Dying Gasp OmniSwitch 6450 Chassis and Hardware Components

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

General Installation Recommendations

Airflow Recommendations

To ensure proper airflow, be sure that your switch is pl aced i n a wel l-ventilated area and provide minimum
recommended clearance at the front, back and sides of the switch, as shown below. Restricted airflow can
cause your switch to overheat, which can lead to switch failure.

Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis. 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.

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.

OmniSwitch 6450 Hardware Users Guide September 2015 page 4-3

Table-Mounting OS6450 Switches Mounting OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

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 protectio n and suppl y wi ring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratin gs 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).

Table-Mounting OS6450 Switches

General Table-Mounting Guidelines

OmniSwitch 6450 switches can be installed freestanding as tabletop-mounted units. If you will be table­mounting your switch(es), refer to the important guidelines below before installing.

• 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

“Airflow Recommendations” on page 4-2.

• The power cord measures two (2) meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length. When table mounting the

switch, be sure that the mounting location is within the reach of all the required power sources.

Table-Mounting Installation

1 Locate the four indentations on the bottom of the chassis.
2 Using the adhesive on the rubb er feet attach them to the indentations, pressing firmly to ensure they are

properly adhered.
Place the chassis on the table as desired.

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 4-2 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.

Note. For information on rack mounting half width 10-port OS6450 switches, refer to “Rack-Mounting

10-Port OS6450 Switches” on page 4-5.

Refer to the important guidelines below before installing the OmniSwitch 6450 chassis on a rack.

Note. When rack mounting multiple switches in a stacked configuration, be sure to place all switches in
vertically-adjacent rack positions. This will ensure that all required stacking cables will have adequate
length for the installation.

• 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 6450 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 equ ipment 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 “Airflow Recommendations” on page 4-2 for important chassis airflow and access recommen-

dations before installing.

Captive Screws

Installing External PoE Power Supplies

The following external power supplies provided PoE and backup system power for OmniSwitch 6450
PoE-ready switches:

• PS-550W-AC-P (OS6450-P24)

• PS-900AC-P (OS6450-P48)

These power supplies may be rack mounted above or below the chassis for a 2RU configuration. The
following sections describe how to rack-mount a power supply shelf and connect the power supply to the
chassis with a cable.

Rack Mounting Power Supplies

1 Align the threaded holes in the provided rack-mount flanges with the two holes in the power supply

shelf. These holes are located on the left and right sides of the shelf.

2 Attach the flanges to the chassis using the provided Phillips-head screws. The screws slide through the

non-threaded holes from the inside of the power supply shelf and are then attached to the mounting brack­ets using the threaded holes. Be sure to tighten each of the screws firmly using a Phillips screwdriver.

3 Carefully slide the power supply on to the power shelf and secure the power supply to the shelf using

the captive screws.

4 After the rack-mount flanges and the power supply are secured to the shelf, mark the holes on the rack

where the shelf is to be installed.

5 Lift and position the shelf until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the rack post.
6 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that were marked earlier.
7 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.

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

8 Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are secure, install the remaining two rack mount screws.

Be sure that all screws are securely tightened.

Connecting the Power Supply Cable

Follow the steps below to connect a power supply with a cable:

1 Be sure the switch and power shelf are securely fastened to the rack.
2 Connect the proper end of the supplied power supply cable to the appropriately labeled connector at the

rear of the chassis and tighten securely.

3 Connect the other end of the power supply cable to the power supply and securely tighten.

4 Connect the power cord to the p ower supply.

DC Power Supply Considerations

DC power supplies have the following additional considerations:

• Connect to a -48V or -60V reliably grounded DC SELV source.

• Use common DC return connections for the DC power supplies. The DC return terminal conductor

• should be connected to the equipment frame.

• The Branch Circuit Overcurrent Protection must be rated a Maximum of 15A.

• Use 12AWG solid conductors only.

• A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated shall be incorporated in the

field wiring.

5 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 Hardwar e Components” on page 3- 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 3-5 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 September 2015 page 5-1

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
