Downloading a Firmware Image

3.2.3 Downloading a Firmware Image

You can upgrade the operational firmwa re in the Matrix E1 without physically opening the device
or being in the same location. The software storage sector in the flash memory of the device is
reprogrammed, allowing you to easily download firmware feature enhancements and problem
fixes to the device from a local or remote location.

Firmware can be downloaded to the device in two ways:

• V ia the serial (console) port. This procedure is an out-of-band operation that copies the f irmware

through the serial port to the device. This operation takes approximately three minutes and
requires minimal configuration.

• Via TFTP download. This procedure uses a TFTP server connected to the network and

downloads the f irmware using the TFTP protocol. A TFTP download is much f aster than a serial
download, requiring only a few seconds, and can be used to upgrade a device that is not
physically in the area. The disadvantage is that this method requires a TFTP server and
additional setup.

3.2.3.1 Downloading via the Serial Port

A serial download is the easiest method to upgrade the de vice f irmw are, requiring the least amount
of equipment and configuration.

To download device firmware via the serial port, proceed as follows:

1. Reset the device’s dip switch 6 as detailed in Appendix B: “Mode Switch Bank Settings” in the

Matrix E1 1G694-13 Installation Guide.

2. With the console port connected, reset the device by powering the device off and then on.

3. After the power-on hardware and software tests are complete, the system initialization screen

displays the following message:

Starting Serial X-modem download.
Switch console baud rate to 115200.
Press RETURN to continue, CTRL-C to abort ...

4. Change your terminal baud rate to 115200 bps and press ENTER. The following message is

displayed:

Ready to receive image via X-modem download ...

Downloading image ...................................

Matrix E1 Series (1G694-13) Configuration Guide 3-23

Startup and General Configuration

Downloading a Firmware Image

5. Send the file using the XMODEM protocol from your computer application (the procedure

varies depending upon the application used).

6. When the XMODEM procedure finishes, the following messages are displayed:

Performing checksum of received image ............... PASSED

Programming primary functional image to flash ....... PASSED

Programming secondary functional image to flash ..... PASSED

7. Change your baud rate back to 9600 and press ENTER. The new image will be loaded and

started.

3.2.3.2 Downloading via TFTP

To perform a TFTP download, you must first set the device’s IP address (as detailed in

Section 3.2.2.11). You then use the dload command to enter the IP address of th e TFTP serv er a nd

the name of the image file.

dload

Use this command to download a new firmware image from a TFTP server to the device.

dload ip_address filename [noreboot]

Syntax Description

ip_address Specifies the address of the TFTP server from which the

new image file will be downloaded.

filename Specifies the TFTP server path and file name of the new

image.

noreboot (Optional) Specifies that the device will not reboot after

completing the download of an image file. The device
will continue using the existing firmware image and will
store the new image in FLASH memory. The next time
the device is reset or powered-up, it will boot from
FLASH memory using the new image.

Command Defaults

If noreboot is not entered, the device will reboot automatically using the new
image.

This chapter describes the Port Configuration set of commands and how to us e them.

4.1 PORT CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

The Matrix E1 1G694-13 features a fixed front panel of twelve 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports and an
optional expansion module slot with one 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink port.

1-Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports consist of

• eight fixed MT-RJ style ports that are 1000BASE-SX compliant, and

4

• four port slots that support optional hot-swappable Mini-GBICs.
As of the printing of this manual, there were three Mini-GBIC models available: two that comply

with standard 1000BASE-SX; one that complies with 1000BASE-LX.

10-Gigabit Ethernet Port

The 10-Gigabit Ethernet port is an expansion slot for a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Module.
Depending on the Ethernet Expansion Module inst alled, the uplink can be via different connectors
and media that support 10-Gigabit Ethernet operation.

At the time that this manual was printed, there were two Ethernet Expansion Module models
available: ZPIM1-01 and ZPIM-06. Table 4-1 lists the standards these modules comply with and
their physical connection types. Refer to the Matrix E1 1G694-13 Installation Guide for cable
specifics.

10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE)
module with one fiber optic SC
connector. This module must
conform to the XENPAK 10
GbE standard.

4.1.1 Port Assignment Scheme

The expansion module and fixed front panel port numbering scheme used when configuring
Matrix E1 1G694-13 port functionality is shown in Figure 4-1. Ports 1 through 12 are designated
as 0 for being fixed ports on the front panel. In this numbering scheme, front panel port 8 is
expressed as 0.8 in the CLI syntax.

The device’s optional 10-Gigabit Ethernet expansion module slot (location 1) is designated as 1.1
in the CLI syntax. Figure 4-2 shows the expansion modules available at the time of this printing.

For information on how this device’s port assignment scheme is expressed in CLI syntax, refer to

Section 4.1.2.

Where port type can be:

ge, for Gigabit Ethernet, or
tg for 10-Gigabit Ethernet

Slot location can be:
0, for the fixed front panel port,
1, for the expansion module slot,

Port number can be:

Any port number in a port location.
The highest port number that can be entered is dependent on the number of ports in a slo t location.
For example: The Matrix E1 1G694-13 has 12 front panel ports (location 0), and 1 port in the
expansion module (slot location 1).

Overview: Port Mirroring

4.2.7 Overview: Port Mirroring

CAUTION: Port mirroring configuration should be per formed only b y personnel who are

knowledgeable about the effects of port mirroring and its impact on network operation.

The Matrix E1 allows you to mirror the traffic being switched on a po rt for the purposes of
network traffic analysis and connection assurance. When port mirroring is enabled, one port
becomes a monitor port for another port within the switch. When configuring port mirroring on
this device, note that

• Only one mirror is allowed per device;

• Only one mirroring session is allowed at a time;

• Traffic mirrored includes both received and transmitted packets;

• Unknown protocol packets and broadcast packets can be forwarded out the monitor port when

mirroring is enabled.

For details on how to specify port designation in the CLI syntax, refer to Section 4.1.2.

port. The first port_string specifies the source on which
the traffic will be monitored. The second port_string
specifies the target port that will duplicate or “mirror” all
the traffic on the monitored port. Since only one port
mirror is allowed per device, it is not necessary to specify
port string when disabling mirroring. For a detailed
description of possible port_string values, refer to

Port Configuration

Overview: Port Trunking

4.2.9 Overview: Port Trunking

Port trunks can be used to increase the bandwidth of a network connection and to ensure fault
recovery. The Matrix 1G694-13 allows you to configure up to six trunks (of tw o ports per trunk)
on the device. It also allows you to configure all 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports into an aggregate
connection. Besides balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional ports provide
redundancy by taking over the load if another port in the trunk should fail. However, before
making any physical connections between devices, use the set trunk command to specify the
trunk on the devices at both ends. When using a port trunk, note that:

• Ports can only be assigned to one trunk.

• 10-Gigabit ports cannot be part of a trunk.

• The ports at both ends of a connection must be enabled and configured as trunk ports.

• The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including speed,

duplex mode, and VLAN assignments.

• None of the ports in a trunk can be configured as a mirror source port or mirror target port.

• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when mov ed from/to, added or deleted from

a VLAN.

• The Spanning Tree Algorithm will treat all the ports in a trunk as a whole.

• Before removing a port trunk via CLI commands, you must remove all network cables.

Otherwise, a loop may be created.

• To disable a single link within a port trunk, you should first remove the network cable, and then

disable both ends of the link. This allows the traf f i c passin g across that link t o be automa tically
distributed to the other links in that trunk, without losing any significant amount of traffic.
