OmniSwitch 6860	OmniSwitch 6860 Availability Features

OmniSwitch 6860 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 users to maintain or replace hardware components without powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added resiliency and help ensure that the switch is consistently available for day-to-day network operations.

Hardware-related availability features include:

•Power Supply Redundancy

•Hot-Swapping

•Hardware Monitoring

Power Supply Redundancy

For information on power supply redundancy, refer to Chapter 3, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”

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:

•Power supplies

•Transceivers

•Plug-in modules

Note. For information on adding and removing power supplies and plug-in modules, refer to Chapter 3, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”

OmniSwitch 6860 Availability Features	OmniSwitch 6860

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 front and rear panels. LEDs are used to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.

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 Reference Guide.

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.

•For switches using DC power, refer to the “DC Power Supply Connections” on page 3-34 for more information.

Electrical Surge Warning

In order to help protect equipment against electrical surges please take note of the following recommendations and guidelines:

1Earth grounding of all devices is fundamental to ensure long term reliability.

• All electrical equipment must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

• Every power supply that is connected to building power should be earth grounded.

• Earth grounding for the power cable, should be verified to be 0.01 ohm or less.

• Each switch should be grounded to same earth ground as the power supply.

• Each powered device, such as an AP or camera, should be connected to earth ground.

• Each surge suppression device should be connected to earth ground.

2Shielded cables (STP) offer some minimal level of additional protection over unshielded Ethernet cables (UTP) but the use of a surge protector is still recommended.

•It is suggested to use STP Cat5e or better for 1Gbps Ethernet switches for any outdoor application or applications where Ethernet cables come in close proximity to alternating current conductors.

•Always install cables according to manufacturer requirements.

3For any connections where integrity of the cabling within a building ground is questionable (i.e outdoor connections), copper Ethernet ports must be connected with an appropriate surge protection device, inline, between the PSE and PD per the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and grounding.

4Caution should be taken for any cable connected to any outdoor device, not only on the device grounding, but to ensure that any outdoor device cables that could carry surge currents, do not pass those surge currents to upstream Ethernet switches.

5Caution - Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large amounts of static electricity due to the dielectric properties of their construction materials in addition, this build up of electricity could lead to a Cable Discharge Event (CDE). A CDE can occur due to the differential in charges on the cable and the equipment it’s being connected to. It is recommended that installers momentarily ground all copper Ethernet cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the port.

Note. Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in voiding the warranty of the affected ALE product.

Getting Started	Your First Login Session

Unlocking Session Types

Security is a key feature on OmniSwitch 6860 switches. As described on page 2-7, 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 the switch. For more information on switch security, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 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.

Changing the Login Password

Change the login password for admin user sessions by following the steps below:

1Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on page 2-7).

2Enter the keyword password and press Enter.

3Enter 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.

OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide September 2016

page 2-9

Your First Login Session	Getting Started

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 8 Switch Management Guide.

Setting the System Time Zone

The switch’s default time zone is UTC. If you require a time zone that is specific to your region, or if you need to enable Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the switch, you can configure these settings via the system timezone and system daylight-savings-time commands.

For detailed information on configuring a time zone for the switch, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide.

Setting the Date and Time

Set the current time for the switch by entering system time, followed by the current time in hh:mm:ss. To set the current date for the switch, enter system date, followed by the current date in mm/dd/yyyy.

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.
