Figure 1-17. 12-Port ANH with Dual Synchronous Interfaces

When connecting cables to the Ethernet repeater ports, note the following:

• The 12-port ANH allows simultaneous connection to any and all of the 12

Ethernet repeate r ports.

• Each repeater port ships with an internal c rossover connectio n. This mea ns

that you can use a straight-th rou gh cable when connecting to other network resources (for exa mple, workstations or other nonrepeating devices).

• A switch on the repeater port module lets you adjust port 12 from a

crossed-over to a straight-through configuration when linking to other hubs. See the next section fo r more info rmat ion about the crossover switch.

• As a repeater, the 12-port ANH transmits the same information over all

Ethernet ports simulta neously.

114113-B Rev. 00

Using the Crossover Switch

The 12-port ANH ha s an in ternal cross ove r swit ch tha t af f ects r epeate r port 12 . By default, the crossover switch is set to the crossover position.

You can adjust the crossover switch to change port 12 from a crossed-over configuration (media-dependent interface with crossover, or MDI-X) to a straight-thr ough configuration (media -dependent interface, or MDI), as follows:

• In MDI-X (crossover) mode, transmit and receive signal connections are

reversed.

• In MDI mode, the port transmits and receives straight-through signals. You can use port 12 in MDI mode to connect (daisy-chain) the ANH to another

10BASE-T MDI-X port using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) straight-through RJ-45 patch cables (instead of a special crossover cable ). You can interconnect as many as four hub units using the Ethernet repeater ports.

The followi ng sections explain ho w to:

• Access and adjust the internal crossover switch.

Installing the BayStack AN

• Connect the 12-port ANH to another 10BASE-T hub, such as the Bay

Networks Model 2800 Hub.

Accessing and Adjusting the Crossover Switch

To access and adjust the crossover switch:

Loosen the two captive thumbscrews on the ANH back panel (refer to

Figure 1-4).

Grasping both sides of the ANH enclosure, pull it away from the back

panel and component t ray until you can easily reach t he crossover switch

(Figure 1-18).

Adjust the crossover s wit ch to either the crossover or stra igh t-t hrou gh

position (Figure 1-18)

Installing the BayStack AN

Connecting the 12-Port ANH to Other 10BASE-T Hubs

If you plan to daisy-chain a 12-port ANH to other repeater/hub systems, you must make sure your network complies with Ethernet operating standards. For more information, contact your network administrator.

In addition to a 12-port ANH, you can also connect an 8-port ANH to

Note:

other 10BAS E-T hubs as described in “Connecting the ANH to Other

Repeaters/Hubs” in Chapter 2. You cannot make such a connection, however,

with an AN router.

To determine whether you need to use a crossover cable or a straight-thr ough cable to interconnect hub units, consider the following:

• If the Ethern et UT P por ts on b o th hubs are i n MD I mod e, use a cro ssover

cable.

• If the UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI-X mode, use a crossover cable.

• If the UTP port on one hub is in MDI mode, and the UTP port on the other

hub is in MDI-X mode, use a straight-through cable.

114113-B Rev. 00

For example , suppose you want to link your 12-port ANH to a Bay Networks Model 2800 Hub and you have only a straight-through cable. You could do the following:

Set the crossover switch to MDI mode on the ANH.

Connect one end o f the s trai g ht- thro ugh ca bl e to port 1 2 on th e ANH .

Connect the other end of the straight-through cable to any MDI-X port

on the Bay Networks Model 2800 Hub.

Or, you could set the appropriate port on the Model 2800 Hub to MDI mode and connect the straight -through cable from that port to any port on the 12-port ANH (including port 12 if the crossover switch is in the default position).

To determine whether you need to use a crossover cable or straight- through cable to interconnect hub units, consider the following:

• If the Ethern et UT P por ts on b o th hubs are i n MD I mod e, use a cro ssover

cable.

• If the UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI-X mode, use a crossover cable.

• If the UTP port on one hub is in MDI mode, and the UTP port on the other

hub is in MDI-X mode, use a straight-through cable.

When you configure a network with multiple ANH (or other repeater/hub) systems, you must comply with the following rules:

• Connect no more than four hubs.

• Make sure each UTP connection is no longer than 100 m (109.4 yards).

114113-B Rev. 00

3-1

Installing and Operating BayStack AN and ANH Routers

Software Installa t io n

Before it can operate, the AN/ANH hardware must boot a router software image. The software image is a group of e xe cutable files that operate the protocols that the network requir es. The proc ess of installing and using this image is called booting. The software image that the AN/ANH uses is called an.exe.

To bridge and route traffic, the AN/ANH also needs a configur ation file that is tailored to the networ k. A configuration file is a binary system file that contains hardware an d software conf iguration data. Th e default conf iguration file is named config.

Bay Networks ships the softw are image and a default configuration file on PCMCIA flash memory cards. Your network administrator may also download these file s to your route r using a Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) or Trivial File Tran sfer Protocol (TFTP) device.

To obtain the softw are image and default configuration file and connect the AN/ANH to the network, you must complete an initial startup procedure. Obtaining fi les for this procedure over the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Obtaini ng f iles fr om the AN/ ANH file syste m, sto red on the PCMCIA flash memory card, is called local-booting.

3-2

Caution:

The AN/ANH must contain a flash memory card if you plan to obtain any start up files through the Local Boot procedure. I f you attempt to local-boot the AN/ANH without the flash memory card inserted, the router does not operate. Refer to“Installing the Flash Memory Car d,” later in this chapter, for instructions.

Installing and Operating BayStack AN and ANH Routers

You may not be able to use all methods described in this chapter to boot over certain interfaces on your router; for example, you cannot netboot over an FT1/T1 DSU/CSU interface. In some cases, you can use one interface, for example, Ethernet, to boot your router and then use a different interface, such as an FT1/T1 DSU/CSU, to establish your initial IP network connection to the management workstat ion (Table 3-2

Understanding Your Configuration Options

You retrieve existing configuration files from local or network sourc es as part of the boot operation. In most cases , the se files are either up-to-da te or modified for upgrade installations by the network administrator using Site Manager or the Technician Interface. The Local Boot option lets you run an installation script called Quick-Start to configure an initial IP interface to the network. After you configure this interface, your network adm in istrat o r can cu s tom i ze your configuration file as needed.

This chapter describe s the startup/configur ation tasks for customers

Note:

who plan to use Site Manager to configure the AN/ANH on the network. If you plan to use Quick2Config® as your configuration tool, see Configuring Your Router Using the Quick2Config Tool. Quick2Config is a Microsoft Windows® based application that you can use to create or modify configurat ion files.
