Turning on the Avaya P460

Introduction

Once you have installed the Avaya P460 chassis and modules, you can turn the chassis on. The Avaya P460 chassis can accommodate one, two or three PSUs (Power Supply Units). The available power is divided among the modules by the Supervisor Module. See “Power Management“ on page 23 further information.
This chapter describes three basic scenarios:
Turning on the P460 chassis in various configurations.
Adding a PSU to the P460 chassis.
Removing a PSU from the chassis.
Danger: The fans are on whenever the power is on in the chassis.
Caution: Do not leave any PSU slots open. Use the the blanking plates supplied to
cover empty slots.

Installing a PSU

L Use the handle on the front panel of the PSU to lift it. L You can install the PSU in any of the three slots.
1 Remove the blanking plate by unscrewing the four retaining screws and gently
tugging the plate towards you. 2 Position the PSU with the label facing up and to the right. 3 Gently slide the PSU back until the socket on the back of the PSU engages in the
plug on the chassis. L Ensure the guiding pins on the front panel of the PSU align with the holes on
the front panel of the P460 chassis. 4 Gently tighten the screws on the PSU.
Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide 19
Chapter 4 Turning on the Avaya P460

Powering Up

In order to turn on the chassis you need to install at least one PSU and at least one Supervisor Module.
L The fans are on whenever the power is on in the chassis, whether Supervisor
Modules are installed or not.

Turning on a Chassis with Supervisor and I/O Modules Already Inserted

If you have inserted Supervisor module(s) and I/O module(s) into the chassis before turning on the PSUs, the power-up procedure is as follows:
1 The Supervisor module(s) and fans are turned on automatically when the PSUs
are turned on.
2 The Supervisor module will turn on the modules one by one, verifying that
there is enough power budget in the system first. If there are two Supervisor modules, the Active Supervisor Module perfoms this procedure.

Turning on a Chassis with a Supervisor Module Only

L The fans are on whenever the power is on in the chassis, whether Supervisor
Modules are installed or not.
If you turn on the PSU(s) in a chassis with a Supervisor Module, the power-up procedure is as follows:
1 The fans start. 2 The supervisor module is turned on. X You can now insert I/O Modules

Turning on a Chassis with no Modules

If you turn on the PSU(s) in an empty chassis – no Supervisor modules – the fans will start up.

Inserting an Additional PSU

1 The SPV adds the new PSU power budget and checks how many PSUs are
present in the chassis
2 Modules not powered up because of an insufficient power budget are turned
on. Otherwise the new PSU power is just added to the total available power.
3 The PSU you insert are in redundant mode if the existing PSUs can already
provide enough power for the chassis and installed components.
20 Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide

Removing or Switching off a PSU

If there is one PSU

The entire chassis turns off

If there are two PSUs

1 When you remove a PSU from the chassis, the Supervisor Module recalculates
the power budget. If the power requirement exceeds the capacity of one PSU,
the I/O modules are then turned on according to the power budgeting scheme
described below. See Figure 4.1.
a The chassis is automatically turned on with only the Supervisor Modules
and the fans getting power from the available PSU
b If all the available I/O modules were operational before the PSU removal/
failure, the Supervisor Module starts to apply power. The power is first applied to as many I/O modules as possible within the power budget limit of the single PSU. This can mean that an I/O module with a low power requirement and low priority is powered up rather than a high power requirement module with a higher priority.
c Slots whose power is disabled are skipped.

22 Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide

Power Management

The Supervisor module checks the PSU status every three seconds by comparing the current state to the previously saved PSU state.

The Power Management Process

L The power management process is activated in the SPV only if there is a change
in power requirements or supply caused by one of the following events:
Power-up sequence
PSU removal if there are two PSUs
PSU insertion if there is only one PSU
I/O module insertion
•I/O module removal
Administratively enabling/disabling a slot
L Removing both supervisors turns off the entire system. L In case of power failure in a module, the Supervisor module receives an
indication from the failed module. The Supervisor module will turn off the I/O
module and issues a warning.
Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide 23
Chapter 4 Turning on the Avaya P460
You can also administratively enable/disable power supply to a specific I/O module slot with the set slot power CLI command.
L The power allocation configuration is saved in NVRAM and treated as any
other switch configuration.
L If you want to view the power status of the P460 chassis and modules, you can
use the show environment power CLI command.

Maximizing Avaya P460 Availability

Introduction

In order to maximize availability of the Avaya P460 for applications such as VoIP, you can deploy a variety of redundancy mechanisms.
This chapter describes the Supervisor module and I/O module redundancy and power supply availability features.

M460ML-SPV Supervisor Module Redundancy

To enable supervisor redundancy, you need to install two M460ML-SPV Supervisor Modules in a P460 Chassis. Ensure that one Supervisor module is “Active” and that the second is “Standby”.

M460ML-SPV Supervisor Module Modes:

Active – The Supervisor Module is operating
Standby – This Supervisor Module is fully synchronized with the Active one and
can replace it in the case of failure.
Halted – This Supervisor Module is not synchronized with the Active one and
cannot act as a standby module.
You can verify the Supervisor Module mode by:
the ACT and OPR LED status (refer to Table 6.1)
•the show spv CLI command, or
•the P460 Manager.
Table 6.1 ACT and OPR LED Summary

Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide 35
Chapter 6 Maximizing Avaya P460 Availability

Configuring the Supervisor Modules for Active/Standby Operation

In order to operate in an Active-Standby configuration, the two SPVs must be synchronized.
If the Supervisor modules are not synchronized, one is Active and the other Halted. In this case you will need to synchronize them manually. See “Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually“ on page 36.
Both Supervisor modules switching fabrics participate in switching/routing in Active-Standby configuration only
A Supervisor module which was Active stays Active after a chassis reset
One of the SPVs can operate as Standby automatically only if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
The current chassis is the last one in which you inserted this SPV
The current running SW images are the same version

Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually

If the SPVs are not synchronized, you need to synchronize them manually using the Avaya P460 CLI.
Note: Synchronization can be required for a complete synchronization also if the SPVs are in an Active-Standby configuration. For example, when the SPVs boot with the same SW but from different banks
1 Access the CLI. See Chapter 7, “Establishing Switch Access“ 2 Enter the sync spv command from the Active Supervisor Module. L This command transfers the following information from the Active Supervisor
module to the other Supervisor module: — Firmware images — Embedded Web image — Preferred boot bank — Chassis synchronization
L The transfer process can take up to 90 seconds.
36 Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide
Chapter 6 Maximizing Avaya P460 Availability

Note: After the transfer is finished, the Supervisor modules are reset automatically.
— After the reset the configuration files of the Active Supervisor Module are
copied to the Standby Supervisor Module.
L This process can take up to two minutes.

Configuration File Synchronization

Three configuration files are stored in the Supervisor module flash memory:
Layer 2 configuration (L2-config)
Layer 3 running configuration (running-config)
Layer 3 startup configuration (startup-config)
If two Supervisor modules are present, the configuration is automatically synchronized between the Active and Standby Supervisor modules.
Initial configuration synchronization takes place after the boot: this process can
take up to thirty seconds.
Layer 2 configuration changes are saved in both Supervisor modules when you
press Enter.
L The Supervisor module Ethernet outband interface configuration is not
synchronized between the modules.

Redundant Power Supplies

The Avaya P460 supports automatic Power Supply redundancy and load-sharing.
Power supply redundancy is activated according to the number of PSUs and I/O modules you have installed in the chassis.
Three PSUs are automatically configured in 2+1 redundancy mode.
If the installed power supplies can provide sufficient power for the switch, then an additional power supply is automatically configured to operate in Redundancy mode.
If the power budget requirement increases beyond the power available from the non-redundant power supplies, then the additional power supply reverts to regular mode.
In order to check whether power supply redundancy is operating, you can use the show environment power CLI command.
Note: The “Total Power drawn from the system” always includes the power reserved for two supervisor modules and the fan module.

Calculating the Power Budget

You can also calculate how many PSUs you need in order to provide redundancy for a specific configuration.
You need to add the power requirements for the I/O modules installed to the base requirement of two Supervisor modules and one Fan module. If the total is less than the power supplied by the number of PSUs installed, an additional PSU provides redundancy.

Establishing a PPP via Modem Connection with the P460 (Sideband)

Overview

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a Layer 2 method for transporting multi­protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. Here only IP datagrams will be exchanged, over a RS232 serial connection, between the P460 supervisor module and a remote peer (such as Ethernet) via a modem and the telephone lines. This provides remote access the sideband management interface of a P460 via a modem.

User Authentication

Introduction

User Authentication is an important element of maintaining secure networks. It prevents unauthorized network management and stops users from reconfiguring network devices.

Local User Accounts

The Local User Account feature allows you to define up to ten accounts that can manage a local (single) P460 switch. This simplifies administration on small networks or where users do not log in to more than one switch.
Note: If you wish to define more than ten users per switch, or accounts for a user on multiple switches, you should use RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service). Refer to “RADIUS“ on page 57.
You need to define a user name, password and access level for each user.

Access Levels

In addition to the user name and password, you need to assign an access level for each user. There are three access levels, each of which allows the user only to perform certain actions. Refer to Table 9.1 for a brief description of each level.
Table 9.1 Access Level Descriptions
Level Suitable for... Allows...
Read-only General users Viewing of system parameter values.
Read-write Site personnel Access to configuration options.
Administrator Network

In order to... Use the following command...
Add a local user account and
username configure a user (name, password and access level)
To remove a local user account no username

Note: The Web management passwords are the same as those of the CLI. If you change the passwords of the CLI then those passwords become active for Web management as well.
56 Avaya P460 Installation and Maintenance Guide

RADIUS

Introduction to RADIUS

Local user accounts (see “Local User Accounts“ on page 55) are kept locally on the switch. Therefore, if a site contains multiple Avaya Switches, it is necessary to configure each switch with its own user accounts. Additionally, if for example a 'read-write' user has to be changed into a 'read-only' user, it will be necessary to change all the 'read-write' passwords configured locally in every switch, in order to prevent him to access this level anymore. This can be tedious at best, and at worst, unmanageable. A better solution is to have all of the user login information kept in a central location where all the switches can access it. Enter Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS).
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) provides a mechanism for such consolidation. A RADIUS authentication server is installed on a central computer at the customer's site. On this server user authentication (account) information is configured that provides various degrees of access to the switch. The P460 will run as a RADIUS client. When a user attempts to log into the switch, if there is no local user account for the entered user name and password, then the switch will send an Authentication Request to the RADIUS server in an attempt to authenticate the user remotely. If the user name and password are authenticated, then the RADIUS server responds to the switch with an Authentication Acknowledgement that includes information on the user's privileges ('administrator', 'read-write', or 'read-only'), and the user is allowed to gain access to the switch. If the user is not authenticated, then an Authentication Reject is sent to the switch and the user is not allowed access to the switch's embedded management.

Allowed Managers

With the Allowed Managers feature, the network manager can determine who may or may not gain management access to the switch. The feature can be enabled or disabled (default is disabled). When enabled, only those users that are configured in the Allowed Managers table are able to gain Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP management access to the switch.
You can configure up to 20 Allowed Mangers by adding or removing their IP address from the Allowed Managers List.
Note: The identification of an “Allowed Manager” is done by checking the Source IP address of the packets, thus if the Source IP address is modified on the way (NAT, Proxy, etc.), even an “Allowed Manager” will not be able to access the P460.

Allowed Manager CLI Commands

Replacing Supervisor Modules

One Supervisor Module in the Switch

When you remove the Supervisor module, the switch is turned off. The switch is turned on after you insert a replacement Supervisor module.

Two Supervisor Modules in the Switch

If you remove the Active Supervisor module, the
Configuring the Supervisor Modules for Active/Standby Operation
In order to operate in an Active-Standby configuration, the two SPVs must be synchronized.
If the Supervisor modules are not synchronized, one is Active and the other Halted. In this case you will need to synchronize them manually. See “Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually“ on page 36.
Both Supervisor modules switching fabrics participate in switching/routing in Active-Standby configuration only
A Supervisor module which was Active stays Active after a chassis reset

Chapter 13 Maintenance
One of the SPVs can operate as Standby automatically only if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
The current chassis is the last one in which you inserted this SPV
The current running SW images are the same version

Firmware Download

You can perform software download using the copy tftp command (see page 26 of the Avaya P460 Reference Guide) or the Avaya Software Update Manager (part of the Avaya™ Multiservice Network Manager Suite).
L You can obtain the latest firmware from the Avaya support site at
http://www.support.avaya.com

Introduction

Each P460 Supervisor module has two firmware image banks (“A” and “B”) and one Device Manager (Embedded Web) bank.
The download is on a per-chassis basis and the firmware is automatically loaded into the standby Supervisor module (if configured) in addition to the active Supervisor module.
L Firmware is not downloaded to a halted Supervisor module.
You download the firmware to each bank separately via the CLI. The download progress is shown on the screen.

Preferred Bank

You can choose which firmware bank to boot from (preferred bank) using the set boot bank command.
L Changing the preferred bank affects both SPVs.
Booting from the Alternate Firmware Bank
Push the ASB button together with both function switches on the SPV front panel to boot from the alternate SW bank.
L If the SPVs were running in a Active-Standby configuration and ASB caused
SW incompatibility between the SPVs, the Standby SPV will switch to Halted mode.

Firmware Download CLI Commands

In order to... Use the following command...
Set the default boot bank set boot bank
Download firmware to Bank A copy tftp SW_imageA
Download firmware to Bank B copy tftp SW_imageB
Chapter 13 Maintenance
Copy Device Manager (Embedded Web) firmware
Show the default boot bank show boot bank

Configuration File Management

You can transfer the Layer 2 parameters to or from the current NVRAM running configuration file to a TFTP server.
This feature permits you to make a backup of the parameters. You can then use that file to configure other Avaya P460 switches without re-entering all the parameters manually.
L To use this feature, you need to have an active tftp server, and to create a file
into which to download the data. If Avaya MultiService Network Manager is running, you do not require an additional TFTP server.

Configuration Management CLI Commands

In order to... Use the following command...
Upload the Layer 2 parameters from the current NVRAM running configuration to a file via TFTP
copy tftp EW_archive
copy l2-config tftp
Update the Layer 2 parameters in the current NVRAM running configuration from a file via TFTP
Show the Layer 2 configuration file show l2-config
