™

Version 1.1.

2000

The features of Business Policy Switch 2000 DC are identical to those of the
Business Policy Switch 2000 except for power requirements and redundancy.

Feature

A 100 Watt DC-DC Converter, housed inside the Business Policy Switch 2000
DC, provides power for the switch. It converts -48 Volts DC power to the voltage
levels required by switch components.

Business Policy Switch 2000 DC power supply specifications

Table 1 lists the Business Policy Switch 2000 DC power supply specifications.

Installing the Business Policy Switch 2000 DC

This sectio n describes i nstalling the Nortel Netw orks Business Policy Switch
2000 DC.

Caution: The DC power input source for the Business Policy Switch
2000 DC power supply must be restricted to an output that is limited to
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output per IEC950 Definition. This
input power source must be reliably connected to ground and electrically
isolated from the AC source

For branch circuit over-current protection for the DC source, please check your
national code requirements. For U.S. installations, follow NEC article 422-28(e)
and 422-30.

Note: Nortel Networks does not supply the cables for connecting the
Business Policy Switch 2000 DC power supply to the DC input source.
You should select a cable that complies with the electrical code of the
country where you intend to use the DC power supply. The DC connector
to the powe r supply is supplied.

.

11

Connecting the power cord to the DC connector

To connect the power cord to the DC connector:

1 Select a 12-gauge, 3-conductor cable, such as an SOW-A, Type 90C, that

accommodates DC input and frame ground.

2 Strip the outer cable jacket to expose the insulated conductor cables inside.
3 Strip the insulated conductor cables to 0.2755 inch (7 mm) from the end.
4 Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the screws on the top of the

connector cover (part number 203070-A), and remove the cover (Figure 1).

Grounding the switch

Before turning on power to the switch, Nortel Networks recommends that you use
the ground stud on the switch as a system ground. See (Figure 4) in “Turning on

the power breaker”.

Turning on the power breaker

After all other modules have been installed in the chassis, you can turn on the
power breaker (Figure 4).

if the base unit (directly downstream from this unit) fails.

If this happens, the following events take place:

• The two units directly upstream and directly
downstream from the fa iled unit automatically wrap
their cascade connectors and indicate this condition
by lighting their Cas Up and Cas Dwn LEDs (see Cas
Up and Cas Dwn description in this table).

• If the temporary base unit fails, the next unit directly
downstream from this unit becomes the new
temporary base unit. This process can continue until
there are only two units left in the stack configuration.

This automatic failover is a temporary safeguard only. If
the stack configuration loses power, the temporary base
unit will not power up as the base unit when power is
restored. For this reason, you should always assign the
temporary base unit as the base unit (set the Unit Select
switch to Base) until the failed unit is repaired or replaced.

IGMP Fast JOIN and LEAVE

Note: The so ftware for t he Busines s Poli cy Swit ch 2000 DC is ident ical

to the software for the Business Policy Switch 2000. Business Policy
Switch 2000 DC will show Business Policy Switch 2000 as the product
name in all applications software.

Note: The Fast JOIN and LEAVE feature for IGMP is available only
when the operational mode f or t he Bu siness Policy Switch 2000 is set to
BPS 2000. If the operational mode is set to hybrid (or mixed) mode, the
Fast JOIN and LEAVE feature is not available. To set the operational
mode, refer to Using the Business Policy Switch 2000 and Using
Web-based Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000.

When enabled, the Fast JOI N and LEAVE fe ature a dds th e foll owing func tionali ty
to IGMP:

• When the Business Policy Switch 2000 receives the first report of a multicast
IP group, the switch does not flood the traffic addressed to that group for th e
first 10 seconds. The switch begins pruning traffic within 100 milliseconds.

• When the switch receives the LEAVE message, the switch prunes that port,
sending the LEAVE message within 100 milliseco nds.

When Fast JOIN and LEAVE is enabled, the user can have only one host per
Business Policy Switch 2000 port for the uninterrupted multicast stream. If you
have more than one host co nnec te d to a single port (for exa mple, another switch),
receiving the same multicast stream and one host sends a LEAVE message, the
multicast stream will stop flowing to all of the hosts associated with that port.
Other hosts must send a new IGMP re port to begin receiving the multi cas t stream
again.

Note: Y ou ca nnot enable both Fas t JOIN and LEAVE and Robust Value.
When you enable the Fast JOIN and LEAVE value, the Robust Value
always remains at the default value of 2, although the displayed value is

0.
