THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following inform ation is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

CHA PTER

4500 E-series switches are the Catalyst 4503-E switch, the Catalyst 4506-E

4507R-E switch, and the Catalyst 4510R-E switch. The information is presented in

The following sections describe the features of the Catalyst 4500 E-series switches:

• Power Redundancy, page 1-1

• Catalyst 4503-E Switch Features, page 1-2

• Catalyst 4506-E Switch Features, page 1-5

• Supervisor Engine Redundancy, page 1-8

• Catalyst 4507R-E Switch Features, page 1-9

• Catalyst 4510R-E Switch Features, page 1-13

Power Redundancy

All Catalyst 4500-E switches offer 1+1 power redundancy, so that in the event of a power interruption the switch can still operate using power from another circuit. The power supplies can also run in a combined mode so that chassis can have power from both supplies at once. You will need to use the power redundancy-mode command to configure combined mode. Redundant mode is the default.

Catalyst 4500-E switches support power supply redundancy only between power supplies of equal wattage and type. A mix of power supplies is not supported. The second power supply recognized is placed into err-disable mode.

“Specifications.”

Supervisor Engine Redundancy

The Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E switches support supervisor engine redundancy. Redundancy allows a second supervisor engine to take over if the active supervisor engine fails.

With supervisor engine redundancy enabled, if the active supervisor engine fails or if a manual switchover is performed, the redundant supervisor engine becomes the active supervisor engine. The redundant supervisor engine is automatically initialized with the startup configuration of the active supervisor engine. Depending on the configuration this shortens the switchover time from 30 seconds or longer in Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode, to less than a second in Stateful Switch Over (SSO) mode.

In addition to the reduced switchover time, supervisor engine redundancy supports these:

• Online insertion and removal (OIR) of the redundant supervisor engine

Supervisor engine redundancy allows OIR of the redundant supervisor engine for maintenance. When the redundant supervisor engine is inserted, the active supervisor engine detects it. The redundant supervisor engine boots into a partially initialized state in RPR mode and a fully initialized state in SSO mode.

• Software upgrade

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Load the new image on the redundant supervisor engine and conduct a switchover. This minimizes downtime during software changes on the supervisor engine.

When power is first applied to a switch, the supervisor engine that boots first becomes the active supervisor engine and remains active until a switchover occurs.

Redundancy requires that both supervisor engines in the chassis are of the same supervisor engine model, and that they use the same Cisco IOS software image.

For more detail about redundancy, refer to the Configuring Supervisor Engine Redundancy Using RPR and SSO chapter of the software configuration guide for your software release.

Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. GBICs have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For more information about GBICs, refer to the Catalyst information for GBICs, X2s, and SFPs are in documents at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/products_device_support_tables_list.html

When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E, all four uplinks are active on both Primary (active) and Secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a non-redundant configuration. This limits access to slot 10 on the Catalyst 4510R to ports 3 and 4 only. You can only use the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X4302-GB) in slot 10 (flex-slot) when a Supervisor Engine V is used.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only, and are only on the WS-X4516-10GE, WS-X4013+10GE, and WS-45-Sup6-E. These ports use the hot-swappable 10GBASE X2 optical transceivers. The X2s have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable.

On a Catalyst 4510R-E with a Supervisor Engine V-10GE, the user can use either four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using SFPs or two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using X2s. The user also has the option of using the Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously. With this option, the tenth slot can only support the WS-X4302-GB switching module. On a Catalyst 4507R-E, the user can use the Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously.

When two Supervisor Engine V-10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4510R-E or Catalyst 4507R-E switch, or two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E, one X2 uplink is active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a non-redundant configuration.

On a Catalyst 4510R-E with a Supervisor Engine 6-E, 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using X2s are the only available uplinks. Slots 8-10 are intended for Catalyst 4500 classic switching modules only and all other slots may use classic or E-series switching modules.

Supervisor Engines

When two Supervisor Engine 6-Es are present in a Catalyst 4510R-E or Catalyst 4507R-E switch, or two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E, one X2 uplink is active on both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a non-redundant configuration.

SFP Ports

Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports operate in full-duplex mode only and are present on the WS-X4013+TS, WS-X4516-10GE, and WS-X4013+10GE supervisors, as well as some switching modules. WS-X45-Sup6-E supervisors can use Cisco TwinGig converters to support two SFPs per X2 uplink port, for a maximum of 4 SFP ports per supervisor. SFP connectors vary with interface type and may use multimode fiber (MMF), single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, or copper Ethernet cables. SFPs use LC type fiber connectors and RJ-45 copper connectors.

10/100BASE-T Management Port

The 10/100BASE-T Management port supports emergency image recovery. The 10/100BASE-T port supports image downloads from the ROMMON. You can use this feature when the onboard Flash memory does not contain any IOS images, usually after all images were accidentally deleted from onboard Flash.

CONSOLE Port

OL-13972-01

The CONSOLE port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to perform the following functions:

• Configure the switch from the CLI

• Monitor network statistics and errors

• Configure SNMP agent parameters

Power Supplies

Note For detailed specifications on all Catalyst 4500 power supplies, refer to the “Catalyst 4507R-E Switch

Specifications” section on page A-3.

A Catalyst 4500 E-series switch can use a 1000 W, 1300 W, 1400 W, 2800 W (see Figure 1-13), or 4200 W (with two inputs, see Figure 1-14) AC-input power supply, a 1400 W DC-input power supply with integrated PEM (see Figure 1-15), or a 1400 W DC multiple-input power supply (see Figure 1-16). The power supplies are hot-swappable. If you have power supplies of different types installed in the two bays, only one will be active and some power features will not be available. The power supply in the left bay is PS1, the one in the right bay is PS2.

The AC-input power supply has a power cord that connects each power supply to the site power source. The DC-input power supply is equipped with a input terminal block that is directly connected to the site power wiring.

Each power supply has an ON/OFF switch that supplies power to the switch. For information on removing and replacing power supplies, see the

Note The 1400 W DC triple-input power supply is not compatible with other power supplies used on these

products, and can only be used with similar supplies. In redundant mode, the two power supplies must have identical inputs.

The 1400 W DC input power supply (either single or triple-input) may be used with the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf. Documentation for the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf is at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/ 78_15068.html

Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support one power supply and an optional redundant power supply. Each AC power supply has an individual power cord and status LEDs. Systems with redundant power supplies will share the load, with each unit providing approximately one-half of the total load. For information about configuring your switch for redundant and combined modes, refer to the software configuration guide for your switch.

The Catalyst 4510R-E requires at least 1400 W of input power. (The 1000 W AC and 1300 W AC power supplies will fit and function in a Catalyst 4510R-E; however, power management may be required in high density configurations.) Cisco recommends the use of the 1400 power supplies for the Catalyst

4510R-E.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

When you install a redundant power supply, load sharing and fault tolerance are enabled automatically; no additional software configuration is required.

Environmental Monitoring Feature

With the environmental monitoring and reporting feature, you can keep your system running by resolving adverse environmental conditions before loss of operation.

The power supply monitors its own internal temperature and voltages. In the event of excessive internal temperature, the power supply shuts down to prevent damage. When the power supply returns to a safe operating temperature, it restarts. If the power supply output voltage is not within the specified range, the LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL will light. An instance of substantial output overvoltage can shut down the power supply.

An instance of substantial input over-voltage (greater than –75 V DC continuous) can damage the power supply input circuitry and can cause it to shut down permanently.

For a 1400 W DC power supply, the main power switch has an input range of –40.5 to –72 V DC, while the –48 if exposed to greater than –56 V voltage range. If the PoE shuts down due to input over-voltage (greater than –56 V converter section does not shut down.

The supervisor engine monitors the status of each power supply and provides a status report through the switch software. For more details on how the supervisor engine monitors the power supplies, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring and Power Management” chapter of the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.

Power enters the switch through the power supplies. Several types of power supplies are available, depending on the power needs for your system and the power type available on your site. All power supplies provide a 3.3 V circuit (shown as a dash-dot line) to the components on the backplane and a 12

V circuit (shown as a solid line) that is carried over the backplane to the fans, supervisor engine, and switching modules. Power supplies that support PoE (1300 W AC, 2800 W AC, 4200 W AC or 1400 W DC) also provide a –48 V circuit (shown as a dashed line) to PoE-enabled switching modules, which is then available to the powered device connected to the switching module.

Note The Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS has internal DC-to-DC converters that use the 12 V circuit to provide

PoE to powered devices connected to the Supervisor engine only. If your system has a Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS in slot 1, you still need a PoE-enabled power supply to provide PoE to the other slots.

All Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support dual power supplies, configurable for combined mode or redundant mode. In combined mode, the switch has available the combined rated wattage of both power supplies, less some expected efficiency loss. In redundant mode, one power supply provides power to the system and the other supply is on standby should there be a failure in either the power supply or the input voltage source it is connected to.

Power over Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support the 802.3af standard for PoE on 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ports, enabling customers to support telephones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and other appliances. PoE makes it possible to place devices in unique locations without having to provide

Chapter 1 Product Overview

PoE Over-subscription

System Architecture

new outlets and costly electrical circuits. PoE also enables businesses to isolate critical devices on a single power system so that the entire system can be supported by uninterruptable power supply (UPS) backup.

All new Cisco Catalyst PoE switching modules can support 15.4 W of power per port simultaneously. Not only do the modules support the IEEE standard, including the optional power classifications, but the Cisco pre-standard power implementation is also supported to help ensure backward compatibility with existing Cisco powered devices. The modules are compatible with any chassis and supervisor engine. Most importantly, the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch has the power supplies and accessories to support

15.4 W per port on every port simultaneously in any fully loaded chassis. (This requires an external power shelf or a 4200 W dual-input power supply.)

With the advent of powered devices requiring as much as 15.4 W and the different combinations of power supplies and chassis port densities, it becomes quite possible to over-subscribe the PoE capacity of the power supplies. This temporary over-subscription typically occurs when a power supply configured in combined mode fails or when the user has not kept track of the powered devices and plugs in one too many. The best practice is to design a PoE system in which all devices receive the power needed at all times. When a power supply is over-subscribed—more power is being drawn from it than it can supply—the power supply shuts down. There are several ways to predictably manage a temporary PoE over-subscription:

PoE Switching Modules

1. Configure unused ports to never receive PoE. This prevents a user from inadvertently plugging a

powered device into a port and causing problems for other powered devices.

2. Configure ports to be in static mode. This is for ports that have highest priority, such as phones for

executives or wireless access points. If ports need to be disabled because of a power shortage, auto ports are disabled before static ports.

3. Configure the maximum wattage on ports to be less than the default, based on the maximum power

consumption of the powered device. This disallows devices demanding unexpected amounts of power and also stretches the finite resources of the power supplies. For example, the default port wattage is 15.4

W. By configuring a maximum of 7 W, twice as many PoE powered devices can be

supported with the same power supply.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers switching modules, power supplies, and accessories required to deploy and operate a standards-based PoE internetwork. PoE provides –48 V DC power over standard Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable up to 100 meters when an IEEE 802.3af-compliant or Cisco pre-standard powered device is attached to the PoE switching module port. Instead of requiring wall power, attached devices such as IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and other IEEE-compliant appliances can use power provided by the PoE switching modules. This capability gives network administrators centralized control over power and eliminates the need to install outlets in ceilings and other out-of-the-way places where a powered device may be installed.

Although references to “PoE,” “inline-power,” and “voice” power supplies and switching modules are synonymous, there are only two versions: Cisco prestandard and IEEE 802.3af compliant. Every Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis and PoE power supply supports the IEEE 802.3af standard and the Cisco prestandard power implementation ensuring backward compatibility with existing Cisco powered devices. All IEEE 802.3af-compliant switching modules can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco prestandard powered device from an unpowered network interface card (NIC), ensuring that power is applied only when an appropriate device is connected.

OL-13972-01

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

1-33

System Architecture

All PoE switching modules can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco prestandard powered device from an unpowered network interface card (NIC) to ensure power is applied only when an appropriate device is connected. With a Cisco PoE network, administrators can depend on a robust network that is safe to deploy and simple to maintain.

Deploying PoE on the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series

When the switch is properly configured, implementing PoE is easy when it is used with a Cisco powered device that supports Cisco Discovery Protocol. All PoE switching modules automatically detect an attached powered device the moment it is installed. Also, the switch returns unused port power to the system power budget for use by other devices because it supports the IEEE802.3af optional power classifications.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers internal power supplies and external power devices for multiple deployment scenarios. These scenarios include small and large deployments in AC or DC environments for data-only configurations, and scalability of up to 15.4 W per port for PoE configurations.

The switches share a common power supply form factor. Each Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis is designed for 1 + 1 power protection while meeting the needs of PoE demands. In addition to power resiliency, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series includes 1 + 1 supervisor-engine redundancy (Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E only) and software-based fault tolerance. Integrated resiliency in both hardware and software minimizes network downtime, helping ensure workforce productivity, portability, and customer success.

All available Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series compatible power supplies can be used for data-only deployments, which typically require just a few hundred watts. For deployments that dictate support for PoE power, Cisco offers several options.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers several internal supplies: 1000 W AC (data only), 1400 W AC (data only), 1300 W (data and PoE), 1400 W DC (data and PoE), 2800 W (data and PoE), and 4200 W AC (data and PoE). When more than 4200 W of redundant data and PoE are required for a Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis in an AC-powered environment, Cisco offers an external AC power shelf that houses two 2500 7500

W—the remaining 2500 W supply can be used for N + 1 protection.

W AC power supplies. When two power shelves are combined, they can produce

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series has two DC power options; one is optimized for data-only deployments in service provider central offices (part number PWR-C45-1400DC), and the other is used for high-power PoE deployments (part number PWR-C45-1400DC-P).

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series External AC Power Shelf and 1400 W DC Power Supply with Integrated Power Entry Module

The external AC power shelf must be used in conjunction with the 1400 W DC power supply. In addition to providing power for the chassis, fans, and non-PoE switching modules, the 1400 W DC power supply contains a power entry module (PEM). The PEM is used to pass additional power to the chassis backplane, power demanded by the PoE switching modules. The chassis power trace used for PoE is independent from the one used by the supervisor engine(s), fan tray, and backplane components. The 1400 W DC power supply can accept up to 7500 be dedicated for data (supervisor engine, fan tray, etc.), while the remaining power is passed through via the PEM and is used for PoE.

When only one external AC power shelf is used (with two 2500 W AC power supplies), it provides the 1400

W DC power supply with 5000 W of DC power in total. When two AC power shelves are strapped

together, the switch can provide up to 7500

W DC for data and PoE applications. Up to 1400 W can

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Service Provider DC Power Supply

The triple-input 1400 W DC power supply is optimized for service provider or central-office deployments. By providing multiple inputs, the service provider DC power supply enables central-office technicians to customize the output power to meet their application needs. Many central-office deployments require only a fraction of the 1400 W available in the service provider power supply. Low current inputs mean technicians can connect the supply to smaller fuses and breakers. The service provider power supply makes it possible to deploy a Cisco Catalyst 4503-E with a single 15 A circuit. Likewise, it is possible to deploy a fully populated Cisco Catalyst 4510R-E with two 20 A and one 15 A circuits rather than a single 60 A connection, which often requires rack rewiring.

Each system component has an EEPROM that identifies it to the supervisor engine over a serial connection on the backplane, which also passes along information like temperature, fan speed, power draw per slot and port, and port activity. LED status information is also sent to the supervisor engine, which makes it available to an administrator through a terminal connection or management software.

All Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support:

• Cisco Group Management Protocol, for standards-based and Cisco technology-enhanced efficient

multimedia networking.

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

• CiscoWorks, which can manage critical network characteristics such as availability, responsiveness,

resilience, and security.

OL-13972-01

• Cisco NetFlow Services. The Cisco NetFlow Services Card for the Supervisor Engine IV and V

support statistics capture in hardware for flow-based and VLAN-based statistics monitoring. This data can be exported, collected, and analyzed for virus detection and mitigation, network-traffic accounting, usage-based network billing, network planning, network monitoring, and data-mining capabilities. Cisco NetFlow Services is integral to the Supervisor Engine V-10GE.

System Architecture

Switching Traffic Flow

All Catalyst 4500 series switches use a shared memory switching fabric. All forwarding decisions, QoS, security policies and transmit queuing are implemented in the Supervisor Engine. Individual switching modules are transparent, and only contain simple stub ASICs and PHYs; they do not perform buffering or local switching. Classic switching modules and Classic IOS supervisor engines have a per slot switching capacity of 6 Gbps, while E-series switching modules and supervisor engines have a per slot switching capacity of 24 Gbps.

Frames flow into the switch through interfaces on the switching modules. Each switching module connects to a backplane that supports a connection of up to 24 Gbps up to the supervisor engine. When a frame reaches the supervisor engine, and a forwarding decision is made, the packet is sent out a port on the same switching module, a different switching module, or the supervisor engine uplinks.

Figure 1-19 shows a conceptual diagram of switching traffic flow through the system.

Classic Catalyst 4500 Series 48 port 10/100/1000 E-Series Switching modules are 8:1 oversubscribed and Catalyst 4500 E-Series 48 port 10/100/1000 Switching modules are 2:1 oversubscribed. On both types of switching modules, there are multiplexing ASIC's which group the front panel ports and multiplex them to the internal switch fabric. On a 48 port 10/100/1000 Classic Catalyst 4500 Series switching module, eight front panel ports are multiplexed into a a single, nonblocking, full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connection to the internal switch fabric of the Catalyst 4500 Classic Supervisors or the Supervisor 6-E. On the Catalyst 4500 E-series 48 port 10/100/1000 switching modules, six front panel ports are multiplexed into a 3 gigabit nonblocking, full-duplex Ethernet connection to the internal switch fabric on the Supervisor Engine 6-E.

If the data rate received for a port presents a potential overflow condition, flow control sends pause frames to the remote port to temporarily stop traffic and prevent frame loss. For both Classic and E-series switching modules each port operates independently so that flow control, or configuration of one port, does not block or degrade the performance of another port in that group.

1-36

The 6 port 2.5:1 oversubscribed 10GbE X2 based switching module operates in a similar way. The six front panel ports are multiplexed by groups of three into two ASICS, each having a 12 gigabit connection into the internal switch fabric.

Supervisor Redundancy

System Architecture

In a Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis with the Supervisor 6-E, there is no performance degradation when both Classic and E-series line cards are mixed within the chassis. The Classic switching modules will continue to operate at 6 gigabits per slot and the E-series switching modules will operate at 24 gigabits per slot.

The Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E switches support 1+1 supervisor-engine redundancy for integrated resiliency. Redundant supervisor engines help minimize network downtime. With the support of stateful switchover (SSO), the secondary supervisor engine serves as a backup to immediately take over after a primary supervisor failure. During the switchover, Layer 2 links are maintained transparently without the need to renegotiate sessions. As a result, business-critical applications such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls are not dropped. The Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) Aware feature in Cisco IOS software is also supported, providing the ability to interface with NSF-capable devices and to continue forwarding packets as routing information is updated upon a supervisor-engine switchover.

Electrostatic Discharge

Note See the Site-Planning Checklist at the end of this chapter to help ensure that you complete all

site-planning activities before you install the switch.

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge is common on Category 5E and Category 6 cabling systems.

Category 5E and Category 6 cables have higher capacitance than Category 5 cables. As a result, Category 5E and Category 6 cables can store higher voltages than Category 5 cables and are more prone to damaging networking equipment if a differential discharge event occurs.

Unshielded twisted-pair cables can store high voltages. When these charged cables are connected to networking equipment, energy is discharged into the networking equipment; this is known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). Networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events of up to 2000 expectation that the discharge is delivered to all pins of a port at once. Sometimes, voltage is discharged to some of the pins of the connector and not others, or to some pins on the connector before others. This is known as a differential discharge event, which can damage the networking equipment being connected.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

V. The design for the common mode event is based on the

You can take the following measures to prevent ESD cable damage:

• Ground the cable before connecting the networking equipment. You can create a grounding cable

using an RJ-45 patch cable by doing the following:

–

Bare the wires on one end

–

Connect the wires to a suitable and safe earth ground

–

Connect the RJ-45 cable to a female RJ-45 connector

• Briefly connect all cables to the grounded cable before connecting to networking equipment.

• Leave cables from the networking equipment in the distribution closet connected to ports at user

desktops. After you make connections on either side of the cable to networking equipment, the cable will not build up charge.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

2-2

• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.

OL-13972-01

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation

• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects

components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

This section provides guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch AC power supplies to the site power source. Basic guidelines include the following:

• Make sure each chassis power supply has its own dedicated branch circuit.

• Size the circuits according to local and national codes.

OL-13972-01

• If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, use a two-pole circuit breaker to

protect the circuit.

• Place the source AC outlet within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and make sure it is easily

accessible.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Power Connection Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems

This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch compatible DC-input power supplies to the site power source or AC power shelf:

• All power connection wiring should conform to local and national codes.

• DC (–) and DC return (+) terminals are evaluated for use with 1/0 AWG wire (1400W DC supply

only).

• The ground terminal is evaluated for use with 6 AW G wi r e ( 10 AWG for the multi-input power

supply).

• DC (–) and DC return (+) wire lugs shall not exceed 0.83 inches in width (0.378 inches for the

multi-input power supply).

• For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated, high-strand-count copper

wire cable. Connection to the DC-input power supply requires one earth ground cable, one source DC (–), and one source DC return (+). The length of the cables depends on your switch location. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from any commercial cable vendor.

• The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC

power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicate that the cable is a ground cable. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are connected to the DC-input power supply terminal block in the proper (+) and (–) polarity. In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This label is a relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the DC-input power supply terminal block.

Calculating DC Input Current

Complete power usage tables are in the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide. To calculate the DC input current needed for data and inline power applications, use the following steps (the example shows the DC input current requirement in a Catalyst 4503-E with a Supervisor Engine II and two WS-X4306-GB modules, and assumes a DC input voltage of -48

Step 1 Add the power requirement for each component in your system.

• Catalyst 4503-E uses 54 W

• Supervisor Engine II+ uses 147 W

• WS-X4306-GB uses 2 X 47 = 94 W

• Total DC input power = 295 W

Step 2 After the entries for all components have been added together, divide that number by the DC input

voltage to determine the DC input current.

• Input current = 295 W/48 VDC = 6.14 A for data only.

Step 3 to Step 5 are for applications requiring inline power. If your configuration does not include inline power devices, the DC input current is the result of Step 2.

Step 3 If you want to add an inline-capable module (WS-X4148-RJ45V) with 10 inline devices (such as IP

Phones) to your system, calculate the DC output power sent to inline devices.

• 10 X 6.3 W = 63 W for inline devices.

• 65/48 = 1.4 Amps for inline devices.

DC input current.

• Total DC input current = 6.14 + 1.4 = 7.54 A.

Planning a proper location for the switch and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. You should install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch and control of the environment. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.

The switch operates as a standalone system mounted in a rack in a secure wiring closet. It requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment. To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur. The switch environmental monitor can then shut down the system to protect the system components.

2-10

To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 0 to 40ºC (32 to 104ºF). It is essential to keep the area around the chassis as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from nearby construction activity) as is possible.

Multiple switches can be rack-mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However, when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vent of the chassis.

Cooling air is drawn in through the right side of the chassis. Keep the right side clear of obstructions, including dust and foreign conductive material, and away from the exhaust ports of other equipment.

Appendix A, “Specifications,” lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements for

the switches. To maintain normal operation and ensure high system availability, maintain an ambient temperature and clean power at your site. The environmental ranges listed in

“Specifications,” are those within which the switch will continue to operate; however, a measurement

that approaches the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they exceed the maximum operating range.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Calculating System Heat Dissipation

To calculate the expected heat dissipation from a switch, add the total amount of power drawn from power supply by the system's configuration, then divide the total amount of power by the efficiency of the power supply. Multiply the result by 3.415 to get the system heat dissipation in BTUs/hr.

First example (System without any powered devices):

Site-Planning Checklist

Components

1 - Catalyst 4506-E with fans 50 W

1 - Supervisor Engine IV 145 W

1 - WS-X4248-RJ45V with no phones 72 W

total output power 267 W

Total heat dissipated by system = (267/.75) * 3.415 = 1215 BTUs/hr

Note All power supplies have different efficiencies, An average efficiency figure of 75% was chosen.

Second example (same system but this time with one IEEE class 3 device):

Components

1 - Catalyst 4506-E with fans 50 W

1 - Supervisor Engine IV 145 W

1 - WS-X4248-RJ45V with no phones 72 W

1 - IEEE class 3 device 17.3 W

total output power 284 W

Total heat dissipated by system = (284/.75) * 3.415 = 1293 BTUs/hr

Output Power

Note Although a class 3 device needs 15.4 W to power up, 17.3 W need to be generated from the backplane

in order to have 15.4 W at the switch port. 17.3 W comes from the WS-X4248-RJ45V DC-DC converter’s efficiency (89%).

supply to a separate DC power source. In the event of a power source failure, if the second source is still available, it can maintain maximum overcurrent protection for each power connection.

Step 8 Verify power supply operation by checking the power supply’s front-panel LEDs. You should see the

following:

• The LED labeled INPUT OK is green.

• The LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL is not lit.

Step 9 Check the power supply and system status from the system console by entering the show power

command. For more information on the commands, refer to the command reference publication for your switch and software.

Step 10 If the LEDs or the show power command (Cisco IOS) output indicate a power problem or other system

problem, see

Removing and Replacing the Chassis Fan Assembly

Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for more information.

Removing and Replacing the Chassis Fan Assembly

This section describes how to remove and install the chassis fan assembly for the Catalyst 4500 E-series switches. See very similar way.

Required Tools

You will need a Phillips screwdriver for the following two procedures.

Step 2 Grasp the fan assembly with both hands and pull it outward; gently move it side to side if necessary to

unseat it from the backplane. Slide it out of the chassis and place it in a safe place.

Installing the Fan Assembly

Follow these steps to install the new fan assembly:

Step 1 Hold the fan assembly with the fans facing to the right. Step 2 Place the fan assembly into the fan assembly bay so it rests on the chassis, and then lift the fan assembly

up slightly, aligning the top and bottom guides.

Step 3 Slide the fan assembly into the chassis until the two captive installation screws make contact with the

chassis.

Step 4 Using a screwdriver, tighten the two captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.

Chapter 4 Removing and Replacing FRUs

Verifying the Installation

Note To check the operation of the fans, you need to power up the chassis.

Follow these steps to verify that the new fan assembly was installed correctly:

Step 1 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that

the fan assembly is inserted completely in the chassis and that the faceplate is flush with the switch back panel.

Step 2 The fan tray LED should light and be green. Step 3 If after several attempts the fans do not operate, or if you experience trouble with the installation (for

instance, if the captive installation screws do not align with the chassis holes), contact the Cisco TAC for assistance.

Replacing Backplane Modules

There are 5 redundancy modules (also called mux buffers) and 1 clock module on a Catalyst 4507R-E chassis backplane. A Catalyst 4510R-E has 8 redundancy modules on its backplane. They are accessible from the front if the switching modules and supervisor engines are removed. There are two types of redundancy modules, and they are interchangeable.

The clock module replacement procedure is identical to the redundancy module replacement procedure, the connectors are the same. These modules are not hot-swappable, the switch must be taken out of service to replace them.

To replace the backplane modules:

Step 1 Make sure you are grounded with an ESD strap. Step 2 Turn off the power to the chassis. Step 3 Remove all supervisor engines and switching modules from the chassis, and find the backplane modules

you need to replace.

Note Keep a record of switching module and their slots, so that you can put them back correctly.

Note Generic switching module replacement procedures are documented at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/gM dCf_nt.html

Step 11 Repeat Step 4 to Step 10 for the other modules you need to replace. Step 12 If you are installing a clock module, secure the module to the backplane using the screws from the earlier

removal.

Step 13 Replace the supervisor engines and switching modules to their previous slots. Step 14 Restore power to the switch.

Verify the New Modules

After the switch is reassembled and power is restored, connect a terminal to the supervisor engine and monitor the boot process. Look for the following messages (or any others), which may indicate a problem with the replaced modules:

00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 3 is not present 00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 4 is not present 00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 7 is not present

The above messages (either at startup or output from a show logging command) indicate that the mux-buffer is not present in slots 3, 4 and 7. You need to reinsert and reseat the modules in those slots.

If the switch has already started up, you may also verify the correct function of the new modules with the show logging command.

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

This section describes how to perform a memory upgrade. You might need to upgrade memory on the Supervisor Engine 6-E for the following reasons:

• To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory

requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)

• To use very memory-intensive features.

This document describes how to upgrade dynamic memory. The Supervisor Engine 6-E ships with 512 MB and can be upgraded to 1 GB in the form of an SDRAM miniDIMM.

Tools and Equipment Needed

You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install miniDIMMs in a Supervisor Engine

6-E:

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

• Small flat-blade screwdriver

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

• Antistatic mat

Removing Memory

You will not need to remove the base memory to perform a memory upgrade, but it may make installing the new memory easier. This procedure presumes you have already removed the supervisor engine from the switch. To remove an SDRAM miniDIMM:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the

equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.

Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM miniDIMM sockets. (See Figure 4-25.)

Pull the tabs away with your thumbs, bracing your forefingers against the rails. The memory module will pop loose. Then raise the memory module to a vertical position.

Step 4 When both ends of the miniDIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the miniDIMM with

your thumb and forefinger and pull it completely out of the socket. Place it in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.

Step 5 Proceed to the “Installing SDRAM MiniDIMMs” section on page 4-21.

Installing SDRAM MiniDIMMs

To install SDRAM MiniDIMMs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the

equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.

Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM miniDIMM sockets. (See Figure 4-25.)

Step 4 Tilt the miniDIMM to the same angle as the socket, then insert the connector edge into the socket. Gently

push into place until the metal clips snap into place.

Caution It is normal to feel some resistance when installing a miniDIMM, but do not use excessive force and do

not touch the surface components.

Step 5 Check the two alignment holds and ensure that the metal clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove

and reseat the miniDIMM.

Step 6 If you are upgrading memory from 512 Mb to 1 Gb and you have removed the miniDIMM in u39, replace

it as in steps 3-5.

Step 7 Replace the supervisor engine in the switch.

Troubleshooting

If your system has problems during start up or operation, use the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause. Problems with the initial startup are often caused by a switching module that has become dislodged from the backplane or a power cord that is disconnected from the power supply.

Although temperature conditions above the maximum acceptable level rarely occur at initial startup, some environmental monitoring functions are included in this chapter because they also monitor power supply output voltages.

Information about troubleshooting software features and configuration problems is not discussed in this chapter.

More up to date information can be found in the release notes or Error Message Decoder tool. Information specific to your software release can be found in the software configuration guide for that release, or in the system message guide for your release.

for your software release.

System Boot Verification

When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:

• That the system software boots successfully

Hook up a terminal and view the startup banner. Use an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable to connect the console port to a PC with terminal emulation software set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Watch for any system messages after startup.

• That the power supplies are supplying power to the system

The power supply’s LEDs should be green. Use the show environment Cisco IOS command to view power supply activity.

• That the system fan assembly is operating

Listen for fan activity. The Fan tray LED should be green during operation. Use the show environment Cisco IOS command to view fan tray activity.

• That the supervisor engine and all switching modules are installed properly in their slots, and that

each initialized without problems

If all of these conditions are met and the hardware installation is complete, refer to the software configuration guide and command reference publications for your switch so that you can troubleshoot the software.

If any of these conditions is not met, use the procedures in this chapter to isolate and, if possible, resolve the problem.

Using LEDs to Identify Startup Problems

The key to success when troubleshooting the system is to isolate the problem to a specific system component. Your first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. All system states in the startup sequence are indicated by LEDs. By checking the LEDs, you can determine when

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

5-2

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

and where the system failed in the startup sequence. If you have problems after the switch is on, refer to the following subsystem troubleshooting information and the configuration procedures in the software configuration guide for your switch.

After you connect the power cords to your Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow these steps to determine whether your system is operating properly:

Step 1 Check the power supply LEDs:

• The LED labeled GOOD should turn green when power is applied to the supply. The LED should

• If the LED labeled GOOD does not light, or if the LED labeled FAIL lights, see the

Note If a power supply is installed and not connected to a power source, power supply LEDs indicate

Step 2 Listen for the system fan assembly. The system fan assembly should be operating whenever system

power is on. If you do not hear it when the switch is on, see the

section on page 5-6.

Using LEDs to Identify Startup Problems

remain on during normal system operation.

“Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on page 5-4.

a failure.

“Troubleshooting the Fan Assembly”

Step 3 Check that the LEDs on the supervisor engine light as follows:

• The LED labeled STATUS flashes orange once and stays orange during diagnostic boot tests.

–

It turns green when the module is operational (online).

–

If the system software is unable to start up, this LED stays orange.

–

If the LED labeled STATUS on the supervisor engine front panel is red or orange, connect a console to the management port and use the show

environment command to check for possible

problems.

• The Ethernet management port LED turns green when the module is operational (online) and a link

is established with another network device. If no signal is detected, the LED labeled LINK turns off.

If there is a problem with the supervisor engine, try reseating the supervisor engine in the chassis and restarting the switch. For more information about LED meanings, refer to the

“LEDs” section on page 1-22. For more troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines” section on page 5-10.

Step 4 Verify that the LEDs labeled STATUS on each switching module are green when the supervisor engine

completes initialization.

This LED indicates that the supervisor engine and switching modules are receiving power, have been recognized by the supervisor engine, and contain a valid Flash code version. However, this LED does not indicate the state of the individual interfaces on the switching modules. If an LED labeled STATUS is red or orange, try reseating the switching module or supervisor engine and restarting the switch. For more information, see the

“Troubleshooting Switching Modules” section on page 5-8. If you determine

that the switching module is not operating, contact Cisco TAC as described in the “Some Problems and

Solutions” section on page 5-14.

OL-13972-01

Step 5 If the boot information and system banner are not displayed, verify that the terminal is set for 9600 baud,

8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit and connected properly to the console port.

System Messages

System messages appear on the console if you have enabled console logging or appear in the syslog if you have enabled syslog. Many messages are for informational purposes only and do not indicate an error condition. Enter the show logging command to display the log messages. To better understand a specific system message, refer to the system message guide for your software release. Most messages are also documented in the Error Message Decoder tool at:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Errordecoder/index.cgi

System messages specific to the system components are mentioned in the corresponding sections that follow. If you see one of these messages, use the Decoder tool and follow the suggestion provided there.

Troubleshooting with Software

Many problems can be identified with CLI commands, and following sections will mention them as appropriate.

Certain problems can be due to not having the right software to support your hardware. For the most recent software release to get the current recommended version for a particular system component, please refer to the release notes at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps4324/prod_release_notes_list.html

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Power Supply

To help isolate a power subsystem problem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Check whether the power supply LED labeled GOOD is on or the LED labeled FAIL is on. (on the DC

multi-input power supply, the LEDs are labeled INPUT 1, 2, or 3 or OUTPUT FAIL.)

Step 2 If the LED labeled GOOD is off or if the LED labeled FAIL is on, take the following steps:

• Ensure that the power supply is flush with the back of the chassis.

• Unplug the power cord, loosen and reinstall the power supply, tighten the captive installation screws,

and then plug in the power cord.

Step 3 If the LED labeled GOOD remains off, there might be a problem with the AC source or the power cable.

Connect the power cord to another power source if one is available. Verify that the source power is acceptable within the specifications of the power supply.

Step 4 If the LED labeled GOOD fails to light after you connect the power supply to a new power source,

replace the power cord.

Note If this unit has more than one power cord, repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each power input.

Step 5 If the LED labeled GOOD still fails to light when the switch is connected to a different power source

with a new power cord, the power supply is probably faulty. See the

Problems” section on page 5-5. You may need to replace the power supply.
