Installation and safety considerations

You can install the Brocade ICX 6650 in the following ways:

• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.

• In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional fixed-rail rack mount kit can be

ordered from your switch retailer. Both the 24”-28” rack depth kit and the 28”-32” rack depth
kit will work with the ICX 6650 device.

• In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush mount rack kit. The optional flush mount rack kit for

switches can be ordered from your switch retailer.

• In a 2-post Telco rack using a mid-mount rack kit. The optional mid-mount rack kit for switches

can be ordered from your switch retailer.

Electrical considerations

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure compliance with the following requirements:

• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in

accordance with local electrical codes.

• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating

on the switch nameplate.

• The power supply standards are met.

Environmental considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:

• Because the Brocade ICX 6650 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or

back to front, be sure to orient your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the
rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust
air.

• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40C (104F) while the switch is operating.

Location Considerations

Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be
sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

The site should meet the following requirements:

• Maintain the operating environment as specified in the section “Environmental

considerations” on page 45.

• Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or

other obstructions for proper air flow.

• Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic,

and power cabling.

• Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.

53-1002599-01

Installation and safety considerations

NOTE

2

• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.

• Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting

fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.

• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to

240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device, and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.

• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your

environment. Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct
configuration.

• For a 4-post rail mount configuration, order the appropriate mounting kit and refer to the kit

documentation.

Cabinet considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet
requirements are met:

• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.

• The equipment in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and

maintains ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such
as a power strip.

• Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is

installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.

• The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance

the cabinet in any way.

• The cabinet is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an

earthquake.

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the
sides of the cabinet or patch panels to reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following
list provides some recommendations for cable management:

You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can
damage the optic fibers. Velcro-like wraps are recommended.

• Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.

• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and

replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

• For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.

• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

Attaching a PC or terminal

To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a
text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and
through Telnet connections. The CLI is described in detail in the Brocade ICX 6650 Administration
Guide.

Access the CLI by connecting to the console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access
the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or Brocade Network Advisor.

Use the following steps to attach a management station to the console port:

1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console management port on the back of the ICX 6650 device using the mini-USB serial console port cable (Part number 50-1000059-01.

Attaching a PC or terminal

2

For port pinout information for the mini-USB serial console port, see the section “Pinouts and

signalling” on page 50.

You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.

2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:

• Baud: 9600 bps

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC.

Powering on the system

After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.

1. Remove the power cable from the shipping package.

2. Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel.

3. Insert the power cable plug into a 100V-240V outlet.

To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cable or cables.

The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

Installing an SFP+ transceiver

To monitor the transceivers, the showmedia command output shows the transceiver information
for all interfaces on the switch. Third party transceivers are allowed. Brocade will provide support
for such a system but may require that a Brocade transceiver be used for troubleshooting.

Support will not be provided if there is an issue with the third party transceiver.

Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver.

1. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports.

2. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP+ transceiver in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 13.

3. Slide the SFP+ transceiver into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.

Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct
position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down.
The correct position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the lower row of ports is with the gold-plated
edge up.

Brocade ICX 6650 slot and Ethernet port numbering

Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and
many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed
in stack-unit/slot number/port number format. In all Brocade ICX 6650 inputs and outputs, the
stack-unit number is always 1.

• Slot 2 is located on the back of the ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 3 on the top

row and port 4 on the bottom row. These ports are 2x40 GbE QSFP+. Refer to the following
figure.

• Slot 3 is located on the back of the ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 8. These

ports are 4 x 10 GbE breakout ports and require the use of a breakout cable. Refer to the
previous figure.

Assigning permanent passwords

By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly
recommends assigning passwords. See the Brocade ICX 6650 Administration Guide.

The CLI contains the following access levels:

• User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view

some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.

• Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.

You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system
configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.

• CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system IP address and

configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be
logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.

You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:

• Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system

administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.

You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.

• Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global

(system-wide) parameters.

• Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read

access.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode:

Brocade> enable

2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:

Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#

3. Enter the following command to set the super user password:

Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password text

You must set the super user password before you can set other types of passwords.

4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:

Brocade(config)# enable port-config-password text
Brocade(config)# enable read-only-password text

If you forget your super user password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password” on page 21.

Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password text

Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.

Recovering from a lost password

By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for
the device but the password has been lost, you can regain super user access to the device using
the following procedure.

Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.

Use the following procedure to recover from a lost password.

1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.

2. Reboot the device.

3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.

4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)

After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Configuring IP addresses

CAUTION

NOTE

3

Configuring IP addresses

You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can
manage the system using the other management interfaces.

Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so
on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter

“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits

in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an
IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.

By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example:

255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. See the Brocade ICX 6650

Administration Guide.

Devices running Layer 2 software

Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

Brocade> enable

2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:

Brocade# erase startup-config

Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the
running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

Brocade# configure terminalPrivileged EXEC Level
Brocade(config)# Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP addresses and mask for the switch.

Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.

Brocade(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.0.0

You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.

Devices running Layer 3 software

Before attaching equipment to a Brocade ICX 6650 switch, you must assign an interface IP address
to the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the
first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web
management interface.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each port, virtual interface, and loopback
interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the
size of the subnet-per-interface table.

The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

Brocade> enable

2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:

Brocade# erase startup-config

Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the
running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

Brocade# configure terminalPrivileged EXEC Level
Brocade(config)# Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.

Brocade(config)# int e 1/1/1
Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

You can use the syntax ip address ip-addr/mask-bits if you know the subnet mask length. In
the above example, you could enter ip address 192.168.0.0/24.

Syntax: enable [password]

Syntax: configure terminal

Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same
subnet on the interface.

Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software

This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.

Configuring IP addresses

You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:

• Ethernet port

• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or “VE”)

• Loopback interface

By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number
to 128 IP addresses.

Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface
parameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the
virtual routing interface itself.

Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so
on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter

“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

• To enter a prefix network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask

immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address
that has a network mask with 24 significant bits (ones).

By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example:

255.255.255.0). You can change the display to prefix format.

Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port

Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:

Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.0.0/24

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask

or

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits

Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface

Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add
stability to the network because they are not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to
unstable links between a Layer 3 Switch and other devices. You can configure up to four loopback
interfaces on a Layer 3 switch.

You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.

If you configure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you
must also configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that
loopback interface to communicate with the Brocade switch.

To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:

Brocade(config)# int loopback 1
Brocade(config-lbif-1)# ip address 192.168.0.0/24

Syntax: interface loopback num

The num parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 to the maximum
number of virtual interfaces supported on the device. To display the maximum number of virtual
interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values command. The maximum is
listed in the System Parameters section, in the Current column of the virtual-interface row.

Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface

A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a
Layer 3 switch. You can configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3
switch to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an external router.

This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.

The switch uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the
MAC address for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.

Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP
address on the interface.

Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24

The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name
“IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24” and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface
command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands
change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the
interface.

Deleting an IP address

Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.

Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1

This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.

To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command:

Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *

Syntax: no ip address ip-addr | *

Connecting network devices

Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other
Brocade devices.

Connectors

For port pinouts, refer to “Pinouts and signalling” on page 50.

Connecting a network device to a fiber port

For direct attachment from the device to a Gbps NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber optic
transceiver, you will need fiber cabling with an LC connector.

For information about transceivers supported on ICX 6650 devices, refer to the following Brocade
website:

http://www.myBrocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/Optics_
DS.pdf

To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following tasks:

• Install a fiber optic transceiver (SFP, or SFP+)

• Cable the fiber optic transceiver

The following sections describe these tasks.

26 Brocade ICX 6650 Hardware Installation Guide

53-1002599-01

Connecting network devices

NOTE

CAUTION

3

Installing a transceiver

You can install a new transceiver in an SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running.

While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.

For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.

All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

Use the following steps to install a transceiver:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a fiber optic transceiver

Use the following steps to cable a fiber optic transceiver.

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2. Before cabling a fiber optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable
connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic

connectors” on page 27.

3. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock into place.

4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about the LED indicators, refer to “LED activity interpretation” on page 29.

Cleaning the fiber optic connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+)
and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time
you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems
such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber optic reel-type cleaner.
When not using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Testing connectivity

NOTE

3

Testing connectivity

Test for connectivity by observing the LEDs related to network connection.

Pinging an IP address

To verify that a Brocade ICX 6650 device can reach another device through the network, enter a
command similar to the following at any level of the CLI.

Brocade# ping 192.168.0.0

Syntax: ping ip addr [source ip addr] [count num] [timeout msec] [ttl num] [verify] [no-fragment]

[quiet] [data 1-to-4 byte hex#, e.g. abcdef00] [numeric] [size byte] [brief [max-print-per-sec
num 0-2047]]

If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses.

If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Brocade Technical Support.

Tracing a route

To determine the path through which a Brocade device can reach another device, enter a
command similar to the following at any level of the CLI on the device.

Brocade# traceroute 192.168.0.0

Syntax: traceroute host-ip-addr [maxttl value] [minttl value] [numeric] [timeout value]

[source-ip ip addr]

The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received.
Traceroute requests display all responses to a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost
routes to the destination, the Brocade device displays up to two responses by default.

Troubleshooting network connections

• For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the device and the connected

device) are snug.

• Verify that the device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.

• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:

• For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.

• For fiber optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the

receive port on the connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connected
to the transmit port on the connected device.

• Use the CLI to verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. If you

have configured an IP address on the device, you also can use the Web management interface
or IronView Network Manager.

• If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

LED activity interpretation

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.

There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights
may be slow, fast, or flickering. The LED colors are either green or amber.

4

Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

Brocade ICX 6650 front panel LEDs

The Brocade ICX 6650 has the following LEDs on the front panel:

• Two Power Supply Unit (PSU) bicolor status LEDs (green and amber) labeled PSU1 and PSU2.

• One DIAG LED bicolor status LED (green and amber).

• Four 1x40 GbE QSFP port status LEDs (blue) which indicate the status of the 40 GbE ports

located on the rear panel.

• Eight 4x10 GbE QSFP-to-SFP breakout port status LEDs (green) which indicate the status of the

4x10 GbE breakout ports located on the rear panel.

• 56 10 GbE bicolor status LEDs (green for 10 GbE and amber for 1 GbE) which indicate 1/10

Brocade ICX 6650 maintenance

The ICX 6650 is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical maintenance. Supported transceivers and diagnostic tests are described in the following sections.

Diagnostic tests and monitoring

Brocade Network OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware. System
diagnostic software is designed to fulfill the purpose of off-line diagnostics. In off-line diagnostics,
you have to turn ON/OFF the diagnostic flags to execute diagnostic tests during the next boot-up.

The CLI commands for system diagnostic tests are dm diag and dm alt-diag. These diagnostic tests
verify all available hardware components including:

• I2C devices

• EEPROMS

• CPU packet

• Test MAC alignment

• Line rate

During system diagnostic testing, the system is completely under the control of the diagnostic
software. All hardware components are verified, and results are displayed on the console. In cases
where a failure is detected, results and corrective actions will be displayed. After the system
diagnostic testing is complete, the system exits from the diagnostic mode and reloads the system
for normal operation.

System diagnostic testing runs at link speeds 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps (QSFP ports) depending on the
speed of the link being tested and the type of port.

Managing temperature settings

The device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device
poll time. To protect the device from overheating, the following temperature threshold levels exist:

• The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a Syslog message and

SNMP trap. It is configurable.

• The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is

not configurable.

The fan speed settings are set by the device, and are not configurable.
