Mindestvoraussetzungen für die Software

Der W-3000 Serie Controller erfordert ArubaOS 5.0.2 oder höher.

Hinweis: Der Master-Controller, sein redundanter Master-Controller und alle lokalen Controller müssen dieselbe Version von
ArubaOS verwenden. Wenn Sie Ihr Netzwerk aktualisieren und einen W-3000 Serie Controller im Netzwerk installieren,
vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Softwareversion des Controllers zum restlichen Netzwerk passt. Wenn die mit dem Controller
gelieferte Version älter ist als die Version, auf die Sie Ihr Netzwerk aktualisiert haben, müssen Sie den Code auf dem Controller
aktualisieren, damit er mit dem des Netzwerks übereinstimmt.

Modellübersicht

Die Hardware-Modellübersicht des W-3000 Serie Controllers deckt alle drei Modelle dieser Serie ab.
Der Unterschied zwischen den drei Controller-Modellen besteht im jeweils erworbenen Lizenzumfang.
Das in den Abbildungen in diesem Kapitel dargestellte Controller-Modell ist der W-3200.

Abbildung 1 W-3200 Vorderansicht

Hinweis: Die Anschlüsse 0 bis 3 sind Dual-Media-Ports und können 1000Base-X- oder 10/100/1000Base-T-Verbindungen nutzen.

Die 1000Base-X-Glasfaserverbindung hat jedoch Vorrang vor der 10/100/1000Base-T-Kupferkabelverbindung. Wenn eine
Verbindung für die 1000Base-X-Schnittstelle erkannt wird, wird die 10/100/1000Base-T-Verbindung deaktiviert.

1000Base-X (SFP)-Ports

Es stehen vier 1000Base-X-Kombinations-Ports ausschließlich für faseroptische Konnektivität zur Verfügung.
Sie sind zur Verwendung mit Dell SFP-Modulen (Mini-GBICs) konzipiert.

Wenn Sie kompatible SFP-Module erwerben möchten, wenden Sie sich an Ihren Dell-Kundenbetreuer.

Hinweis: Dell testet und unterstützt Glasfaserleitungen von Dell innerhalb der Controllersysteme. Faseroptische Leitungen anderer
Hersteller werden nicht getestet oder unterstützt; Dell kann deshalb die einwandfreie Funktionalität von Glasfaserleitungen anderer
Hersteller nicht garantieren.

Es gibt vier 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit-Ethernet-Ports (RJ-45). Gigabit-Ethernet nutzt alle acht Leitungen und
jedes Paar wird bidirektional verwendet, sodass dieselben Paare sowohl für die Datenübertragung als auch für
den Empfang verwendet werden. Abbildung 2 zeigt die CAT-5-Pin-Belegung für einen RJ-45-Anschluss. Die
CAT-5-Pin-Belegung fasst jeweils die folgenden Pins bei einem 10/100/1000Base-T-Gigabit-Ethernet-Anschluss
zu Paaren zusammen: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5 und 7/8.

Abbildung 2 Pin-Belegung des Gigabit-Ethernet-Ports

Serielle Konsolenschnittstelle

Eine serielle Konsolenschnittstelle steht für den Anschluss an ein Terminal zur Verfügung, um die direkte
lokale Verwaltung zu ermöglichen. An die RJ-45-Buchse kann ein serielles Kabel (RS-232) mit Stecker
angeschlossen werden.
