Online Help You must have a browser installed on your system to view the online help.

To access the Web Agent online help, you must install the help files on an existing Web server in your network. Once the help files are installed, you must point the P580 or P882 to the location of the help files. The following two sections provide procedures for these tasks:

■ Installing the Online Help Files

■ Setting the Location of the Online Help Files

Installing the Online Help Files

To install the online help files on a Web server:

1. Download the online help from http://support.avaya.com to the directory

where you want to store the help files. By default, the Web Agent is set to retrieve online help files from the

help subdirectory of the Web server’s root directory. If you install the online help files in a different directory, you must change the Web Agent’s setting for th e help file loc ation. For information on changing this setting, see the following section, “Setting the Location of the

Online Help Files.”

2. Unzip the zip file.

Setting the Location of the Online Help Files

To set the location of the online help f iles:

1. Launch a Web browser and connect to the switch.

2. Enter your user name and password, and click OK.

Overview

Chassis The Avaya switch chassi s comes in tw o models:

■ The P580 chassis.

■ The P882 chassis.

The P580 and P882 chassis can run in two modes:

■ Fabric Mode 1 = 55MHz or Fabric_mode 1

■ Fabric Mode 2 = 66Mhz or Fabric_mode 2

Fabric Mode 1 Fabric mode 1 has a switching fabric performance of 1.76 Gigabits per

second per fabric port. Fabric mode 1 modules operate at 55MHz only.

In Fabric mode 1 the P580 chassis will have a 13x13 crossbar switching fabric, while the P882 chassis will have a 16x16 cros s bar swit chi ng fab ric. In addition, the P882 chassis is limited to sixteen functional slots in this mode (slot 17 can not be used).

Fabric Mode 2 The 80-series (also called series 2) platform is an evolution of the 50-series

(also called series 1) architecture. It offers a 20% increase in switc hing fabric performance or 2.11 Gigabits per second per fabric port. This allows greater 10/100/1000 port density on a per crossbar port basis.

This increase in performance is accomplished with Avaya ApplicationSpecific Integrated Cir cuits (ASICs) that operate at 66MHz (as well as 55MHz capable) and consolidates and enriches the functionality of a number of ASICs used in the 50-series modules.

If any 50-series modules are installed in the chassis, they do not turn on when the switch is in Fabric mode 2.

In Fabric mode 2, the P580 chassis will have a 13x13 crossbar switching fabric, while the P882 chassis will have a 33x33 cros s bar swit chi ng fab ric. All 17 slots in the P882 chassis can be used in Fabric 2 mode.

Avaya P580 Multiservice Switch Chassis

The Avaya P580 Multiservice Switch chassis consists of:

■ Seven slots (1 slot for the supervisor module and six payload slots

for media modules)

■ Fan Tray

■ Up to three power supplies

■ A 13x13 crossbar switch fabric

Slots There are seven slots in the P580 chassis. Slot 1 is dedicated for a

supervisor module and the remaining six are payload slots. If a redundant supervisor is used in the chassis, it must be inserted in slot 2.

Introduction

Ports The P580 chassis configured with 50-series modules provides support for:

■ Up to 120 10/100BASE-TX ports (RJ-45 connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 288 10/100BASE-TX ports (Telco connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 60 100BASE-FX ports

■ Up to 24 gigabit-speed Ethernet ports

The P580 chassis configured with 80-series modules provides support for:

■ Up to 144 10/100BASE-TX ports (RJ-45 connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 288 10/100BASE-TX ports (Telco connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 144 100BASE-FX ports (MT-RJ connector)

■ Up to 48 gigabit-speed Ethernet ports

Fan Tray There are two fan assemblies in the chassis. One fan assembly is located on

the left side of the chassis to provide air flow to th e media modules. This fan assembly is hot-swappable. The oth er fan assembly is located in the rear of the chassis to provide air flow to the switch fabric. This fan assembly is not field replaceable.

Switch Fabric In Fabric mode 1, the switching fabric provides 45.76 Gbps aggregate

bandwidth. In Fabric mode 2 (P580 only), the switching fabric provides

54.91 Gbps aggregate bandwidth.

The crossbar switch matrix provides low latency, high throughput packet switching using a crossbar architecture (Figure 1-1).

Crossbar

Port 13

The crossbar supports:

■ 13 fabric ports (two per I/O module slot, one for the supervisor

module).

■ 1.76 Gbps (in and out) on each fabric port in 50-series mode and

2.11 Gbps (in and out) on each fabric port in Fabric mode 2.

■ 45.76 Gbps backplane capacity in Fabric mode 1 and 54.91 Gbps

backplane capacity in Fabric mode 2.

■ Under-subscribed switching fabric in most configurations.

■ Single copy replication—Input frames destined for multiple output

switch ports pass through the crossbar only once and are copied by the crossbar to each destination.

■ Hardware-assisted multicast pruning—The switch only forwards to

appropriate destination switch ports.

Introduction

Avaya P882 Multiservice Switch Chassis

The Avaya P882 Multiservice Switch Chassis consists of:

■ Seventeen slots (1 slot for the supervisor module and sixteen

payload slots for media modules)

■ Fan Tray

■ Up to three power supplies

■ A 33x33 crossbar switch fabric

Slots The P882 chassis provides seventeen slots. Slot 1 is dedicated for a

supervisor module and the remaining sixteen are payload slots.

In Fabric mode 1, the P882 Chassis supports up to 15 payload slots. Slot seventeen is unsupported in Fabric mode 1. In Fabric mode 2, all sixteen payload slots are usable.

If a redundant supervisor is used in the chassis, the redundant supervisor must be installed in slot 2.

Ports With 50-Series modules, the P882 Chassis supports:

■ Up to 300 10/100BASE-TX ports (RJ-45 connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 720 10/100BASE-TX ports (Telco connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 150 100BASE-FX ports

■ Up to 60 gigabit-speed Ethernet ports

With 80-Series modules, the P882 chassis supports:

■ Up to 384 10/100BASE-TX ports (RJ-45 connector, autosensing)

■ Up to 384 100BASE-FX ports (MT-RJ connector)

■ Up to 128 gigabit-speed Ethernet ports

Fan Tray There are two fan assemblies in the chassis. One fan assembly is located on

the left side of the chassis to provide air flow to the media modules. The other fan assembly is located in the rear of the chassis to provide air flow to the switch fabric. Both fan assemblies are hot-swappable and field replaceable.

The Power System

Overview Two power supplies are required to operate a fully-loaded P580 or P882

chassis. You can install a third power supply for backup if one of the other two fails.

Features of the power system include:

■ Load sharing by the installed power supplies.

■ Power supplies can be warm swapped. (Before removing a power

supply, you must turn it off and unplug it; however, the othe r po wer supplies can remain turned on).

■ Both AC and DC power supplies are supported.

■ Static power allocation or dynamic power allocation if insufficient

power is available for all modules in the chassis.
