Who Should Read this Manual? About This Guide

Who Should Read this Manual?

The audience for this user guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to provide network connectivity using SFP or XFP transceivers on an OmniSwitch.

When Should I Read this Manual?

Read this guide as soon as you are ready to integrate your OmniSwitch into your network and you are ready to provide connectivity using the supported transceivers. You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the brief software overviews in the OmniSwitch 6800 Family Getting

Started Guide, OmniSwitch 6850 Series Getting Started Guide, or OmniSwitch 9000 Series Getting Started Guide.

What is in this Manual?

This guide includes information about the supported OmniSwitch transceivers.

• SFP and XFP specifications

• SFP and XFP compatibility information

What is Not in this Manual?

Procedures for switch management methods, such as CLI, web-based (WebView or OmniVista) or SNMP, are outside the scope of this guide.

For information on WebView and SNMP switch management methods consult the OmniSwitch Switch Management Guide. Information on using WebView and OmniVista can be found in the context-sensitive on-line help available with those network management applications.

This guide is designed to provide transceiver specification and compatibility information only and is not intended as a reference for any CLI commands or configuration information. Refer to the Documentation Roadmap for a list of available user guides.

About This Guide How is the Information Organized?

How is the Information Organized?

Chapters in this guide are broken down by transceiver type, SFP or XPF. Additional sub-sections are provided for the various types of SFP transceivers.

Specification Information. Each transceiver has an associated table providing individual specifications for all supported transceivers.

Compatibility Information. A compatibility chart is provided for each transceiver specifying which modules or switch the transceiver is supported on.

Documentation Roadmap

The OmniSwitch user documentation suite was designed to supply you with information at several critical junctures of the configuration process. The following section outlines a roadmap of the manuals that will help you at each stage of the configuration process. Under each stage, we point you to the manual or manuals that will be most helpful to you.

Stage 1: Using the Switch for the First Time

Pertinent Documentation: Getting Started Guide

Release Notes

A hard-copy Getting Started Guide is included with your switch; this guide provides all the information you need to get your switch up and running the first time. It provides information on unpacking the switch, rack mounting the switch, installing NI modules, unlocking access control, setting the switch’s IP address, and setting up a password. It also includes succinct overview information on fundamental aspects of the switch, such as hardware LEDs, the software directory structure, CLI conventions, and web-based management.

At this time you should also familiarize yourself with the Release Notes that accompanied your switch. This document includes important information on feature limitations that are not included in other user guides.

Stage 2: Gaining Familiarity with Basic Switch Functions

Pertinent Documentation: Hardware Users Guide

Switch Management Guide Transceivers Guide

Once you have your switch up and running, you will want to begin investigating basic aspects of its hardware and software. Information about switch hardware is provided in the Hardware Guide. This guide provide specifications, illustrations, and descriptions of all hardware components, such as chassis, power supplies, Chassis Management Modules (CMMs), Network Interface (NI) modules, and cooling fans. It also includes steps for common procedures, such as removing and installing switch components.

The Switch Management Guide is the primary users guide for the basic software features on a single switch. This guide contains information on the switch directory structure, basic file and directory utilities, switch access security, SNMP, and web-based management. It is recommended that you read this guide before connecting your switch to the network.

Documentation Roadmap About This Guide

Stage 3: Integrating the Switch Into a Network

Pertinent Documentation: Network Configuration Guide

Advanced Routing Configuration Guide

When you are ready to connect your switch to the network, you will need to learn how the OmniSwitch implements fundamental software features, such as 802.1Q, VLANs, Spanning Tree, and network routing protocols. The Network Configuration Guide contains overview information, procedures, and examples on how standard networking technologies are configured in the OmniSwitch.

The Advanced Routing Configuration Guide includes configuration information for networks using advanced routing technologies (OSPF and BGP) and multicast routing protocols (DVMRP and PIM-SM).

Anytime

The OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide contains comprehensive information on all CLI commands supported by the switch. This guide includes syntax, default, usage, example, related CLI command, and CLI-to-MIB variable mapping information for all CLI commands supported by the switch. This guide can be consulted anytime during the configuration process to find detailed and specific information on each CLI command.
