SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
THE FE-100F3 FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE, FPIM-05 AND FPIM-07
FDDI PORT INTERFACE MODULES, AND APIM-29 ATM PORT INTERFACE MODULE
USE CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
21 CFR 1040.10 and 10 40.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
CENELEC EN 60825 (E uropean Committee fo r Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10
-6
watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser outp ut. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

This guide and other XP documentation refers to the XPs Layer-2 (L2), Layer-3 (L3), and Layer-4 (L4) switching and routing. These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The XP operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that Layer 2 is divided into an LLC layer and a MAC layer. The XP operates at the MAC layer but not the LLC layer.
TCP/UDP Services
The following table lists some well-known TCP/UDP services provided by the XP.

Statistics
Management
Bridging
The XP provides the following types of wire-speed bridging:
Address-based bridging – The XP performs this type of bridging by looking up the
destination address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that receives the bridge packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet is addressed to the XP’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged.
Fl ow-based bridging – The XP performs this type of bridging by looking up an entry
in the L2 lookup table containing both the source and destination addresses of the bridge packet.
Your choice of bridging method does not affect XP performance. However, address-based bridging is more efficient because it requires fewer table entries while flow-based bridging provides tighter management and control over bridged traffic.
The XP ports perform address-based bridging by default but can be configured to perform flow-based bridging, instead of address-based bridging, on a per- port basis. A port cannot be configured to perform both types of bridging at the same time.
Features
6 Enterasys Xpedit ion 8000/8600 Gettin g Started Guide
Port and Protocol VLANs
The XP supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs):
Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a se t of ports that comprises a Layer-2
broadcast domain. The XP confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which the broadcast originates. XP ports outside the VLAN do not receive the broadcast.
P rotocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that
comprises an IP or IPX broadcast domain. The XP confines IP or IPX broadcasts to the ports within the IP or IPX based VLAN. Protocol-based VLANs sometimes are called subnet VLANs or Layer-3 VLANs.
You can include the same port in more than one VLAN, even in both port-based and protocol-based VLANs. Moreover, you can define VLANs that span across multiple XPs. To simplify VLAN administration, the XP supports 802.1Q trunk ports, which allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to another XP or switch which supports 802.1Q.
Routing
The XP provides wire-speed routing for the following protocols:
Internet Protocol (IP) – protocol that switchi ng a nd routing de vices use for moving
traffic within the Internet and within many corporate intranets
Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) – protocol by Novell used in NetWare products Note: All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP.
By default, the XP uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The XP can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface. When the XP receives a packet whose destination MAC addres s is one of the XPs IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the line card that received the packet from the network uses information in the line cards L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the control module) to route the packet to its IP destination(s). (See Control Module on
page 12 for information about the control module.)
You can create only one IP and IPX interface on a single port or VLAN. You can add secondary IP addresses to the same IP interface. When you add an interface to a set of ports, you are adding a VLAN to those ports. Ports that contain IP and IPX interfaces can also still perform Layer-2 bridging.
Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide 7
Features
IP Routing
The XP supports the following IP unicast routing protocols:
RIP v1 and RIP v2
OSPF v2
BGP 2,3,4
IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for routing, you also specify the routing protocol the interface will use.
IP Multicast Routing
The XP supports the following IP multicast routing protocols:
IGMP
DVMRP
The XP does not use a specific IP Multicast routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for IP Multicast, you also specify the routing protocol you want the interface to use.
IPX Routing
The XP supports the following IPX routing protocols:
IPX RIP a version of the Routing Informatio n Protocol (RIP) tailored for IPX
IPX SAP the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX
network to reach printers, file servers, and other services
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the XP when an IPX interface is created.
Layer-4 Switching
In addition to Layer-2 bridging and Layer-3 routing, the XP performs Layer-4 switching. Layer-4 switching is based on applic ations and flows.
Layer-4 applications – The XP understands the application for which an IP or IPX
packet contains data and therefore enables you to manage and control traffic on an application basis. For IP traffic, the XP looks at the packets TCP or UDP port number to determine the application. For IPX packets, the XP looks at the destination socket to determine the application.
Layer-4 flows – The XP can store Layer-4 flows on each line card. A Layer-4 flow
consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with
Features
8 Enterasys Xpedit ion 8000/8600 Gettin g Started Guide
the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX). You can therefore manage and control individual flows between hosts on an individual application basis.
A single ho st c an have many individual Layer-4 entries in the XP. F o r e xample, an IP host might have separate Layer-4 application entries for E-mail, FTP, HTTP, and so on, or separate Layer-4 flow entries for specific E-mail destinations and for specific FTP and Web connections.
Security
The bridging, routing, and application (Layer-2, Layer-3, and Layer-4) support described in previous sections enables you to implement security filters th at meet specific needs. You can implement the following types of filters to secure traffic on the XP.
Layer-2 source filters (block bridge traffic based on source MAC address)
L ayer-2 destination filters (block bridge traffic based on destination MAC address)
Layer-2 flow filters (block bridge traffic based on specific source-destination pairs)
Layer-3 source filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on source IP or IPX address)
L ayer-3 destination filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on destination IP or IPX
address)
Layer-3 flow filters (block IP or IPX traffic based on specific source-destination pairs)
L ayer-4 flow filters (block traffic based on application flows)
L ay er-4 application filters (block traffic based on UDP or TCP source and destination
ports for IP or source and destination socke ts f or IPX)
Quality of Service
Although the XP supplies non-blocking wire-speed throughput, you can configure the XP to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific hosts, applications, and flows (s ource-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks where the traffic level can exceed the network mediums capacity.
The XP QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low. Control traffic has the highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all traffic is low.
Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide 9
Hardware Overview
You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic:
Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)
Lay e r-3 source-destination flows
Lay e r-4 source-destination flows
L ayer-4 application flows
Statistics
The XP can provide extensive statistical data on de mand. You can access the following types of statis t ic s :
Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on)
Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast, VLAN
Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP
Management Platforms
You can m anage the XP using the following ma nagement platforms:
Command Line Interface (CLI) – An Emacs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands and responds when applicable with messages or tables. You will use the CLI to perform the basic setup procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide.
SNMP MIBs and traps – The XP supports SNMP v1 and many standard networking MIBs. You access the XPs SNMP agent using integration software for HP OpenView
5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Enterasys SPEC TRUM on Solaris 2.x. Chapter 3 in this guide explains how to set up SNMP on the XP.

Hardware Overview
12 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
On both the XP-800 0 an d XP-860 0, s lot 0 i s label ed “CM” and contains the primary control module. The CM slot cannot be used for line cards. The primary contro l mo dule mu st be installed in this slot. The CM/1 slot can contain a redundant control module (if you install one) or can contain a line card. Slots 2 to 7 on the XP-8000 or slots 2 to 15 on the XP-8600 can contain any line cards. (See Control Module on page 12 and Line Cards on page 18 for information about these items.)
Y ou can install line cards in any order in the slots. For example, you could install line cards in slots 2 and 5 and leave the other line card slots empty. The XP provides non-blocking throughput regardless of the software features you are using. Therefore, you do not need to load balan ce line cards by placing them in certain relationships to balance the load on the backplane. Regardless of where you install the line cards, the backplane can provide full, non-blocking throughput.
Backplane
The backplane occupies the rear of the chassis and connects the power supplies, control modules, and line cards together. The power supplies use the backplane to provide power to the rest of the system. The line cards and control modules use the backplane to exchange control information and packets. The backplane is installed at the factory. Contact Enterasys Networks if you wish to replace the backplane.
Fan Module
The XP contains a fan module to provide a cooling air flow across the control module(s) and line cards. The fan module is located on the left side of the control modules and line cards. The XP-8000 fan module contains two fans; the XP-8600 fan module contains six fans. The fan module is installed at the factory, but you can replace the module yourself, if necessary.
Note: To ensure that the fan module can provide adequate cooling, always provide a
minimum of 3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis.
Control Module
The control module is the XPs central processing u nit. It contains system-wid e bridging and routing tables. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2 and L3/L4 lookup tables on individual line cards is sent to the control module. After processing traffic, the control module updates the L2 and L3/L4 tables on the line cards that received the traff ic. The line cards thus “learn” about how to forward traffic.
Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide 13
Hardware Overview
Figure 3 shows the front panel of the control module.
Figure 3. Front panel of the control module
Boot Flash
The control module has a boot flash containing the XPs boot software and configuration files. The system software image file resides on a PC card or a TFTP server.
Memory Module
The control module uses memory to hold the routing tables and other tables. The minimum factory configurat ion for the control module includes 64MB of memory (in a 64MB DIMM). You can obtain XP memory upgrade kits from Enterasys Networks to increase memory to 128MB (in a 128MB DIMM), 192MB (in one 64MB DIMM and one 128MB DIMM), or 256MB (in two 128MB DIMMs). See Installing a Memory Upgrade on

External Controls
The control module has the following external controls. Where appropriate, this guide describes how to use the controls.
M ale D B -9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection from a management terminal. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the XP. The default baud rate is 9600.
10/100Base-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network (“in-band) connection from a management terminal. The port is configured as a Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to establish a management connection to the XP over a local or bridged Ethernet segment.
Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the XPs CPU.
PC f lash memory slots. These slots let you install system image software upgrades as
well as older system image software versions.
Note: You can install a PC card in either slot but you cannot use two PC cards at the
same time.
AC Power Supply
The power supply delivers 3.3, 5, and 12 DC volts to the XP’s control module(s), fan modules, and other components. A single po wer supply provides enough current to operate a fully configured chassis. The power supply has its own internal cooling fan. The vent on the front of the power supply is the in let vent for the cooling fan.

The following table lists the specificatio ns for the XPs AC power supply.
T o ensure against equipment failure, you can install a redundant power supply . When two power supplies are active in the XP, they load share, each supply delivering approximately 50 percent of the current ne eded. Moreover, if one of the power supplies fails, the other power supply immediately assumes the entire load, thus preventing any system outage.
The AC power supply has a green status LED. When the LED is lit, the power supply is connected to an appropriate power source and is active. The status LED is lit when you switch the power supply on, not when you plug the power supply into a power source.

If the hardware is already installed and you are ready to install the software and perform basic system configuration, see Chapter 3, S oftware Installation and Setup.
Safety Considerations
Read the following safety wa rn ings and product cautions to avoid personal injury o r product damage.
Preventing Injury
Cautions: Observe the following safety warnings to prevent accidental injury when
working with the Enterasys Xp edi tion (XP) hardware.
To avoid back strain, be careful when lifting the chassis out of the shipping box.
Never attempt to rack mount the XP chassis unaided. Ask an assistant to help you hold
the chassis.
Never operate the XP with exposed power-supply bays or module slots. Y ou can leave the PC slots exposed but make sure you do not place any tools or body parts in the PC slot.
Never operate the XP if the chassis becomes wet or the area where the chassis is installed is wet.
Hardware Specifications
48 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
Preventing Equipment Damage
Observe the precautions listed in this section to prevent accidental damage to the XP components.
Cautions: To prevent accidental product damage, observe the following precautions:
Always use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) gear when handling the control module, backplane, line cards or other internal parts of the chassis.
Make sure you allow adequate room for air flow around the chassis.
If you plan to install the chassis in an equipment rack, it is recommended that you
install a support tray under the chassis, especially for chassis that are completely filled (no empty control module, power supply, or line card slots).

Figure 28. Relationship of wiring lugs on XP-8600 DC power supply
Because of the XP-8600 DC supply current requirements, each pole of the 48 Volt DC source should use 6 gauge wire. Each 6 gauge wire can be divided into two 12 gauge wir es by using a conductive splitter-block. This creates two 12 gauge wires carrying positive (+) current and two 12 gauge wires carrying negative current. In turn, both 12 gauge positive (+) wires and both 12 gauge negative (-) wires are connected to the XP-8600 DC power supply wiring block. See Figure 29.

78 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
Installing a PC Flash Card
The control module PC flash card contains a version of the system image software that is installed at the factory. If you have a more recent system image and want to boot the XP using the newer software, you must boot either from a PC card or from a TFTP server.
To i nstall a PC card:
1. Power off the XP. You cannot install or remove a PC card while the XP is running.
2. Insert the PC card into either of the slots on the control module. You can choose either slot.
Note: Even though there are two slots on the control module, you cannot use two
PC flash cards at the same time.
3. Lock the PC card into the slot by pushing the PC card all the way into the slot.
4. Power on the XP. (See Powering On and Booting the Software on page 79.)
5. To verify proper installation of the PC card, do one of the following: – Reboot the system and watch the boot messages for the messages shown in bold
type in the following example:
%SYS-I-FLASHCRD, Mounting 8MB Flash card %SYS-I-FLASHMNTD, 8MB Flash card mounted

Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide 79
Powering On and Booting the Software
Run the follow ing command to display the boot log and look for the messages
shown in the example above:
Note: If the message “SYS-E-NOFLASHCARD appears, the system has not detected a
PC card. Check to ensure that the card is properly inserted, then reboot. If the system still does not recognize the card, contact Enterasys Networks. (See
Technical Support on page 101.)
Powering On and Booting the Software
To power on the XP and boot the software:
1. Make sure all exposed line card slots and power supply bays are free of foreign
objects, such as tools, and are covered with coverplates.
2. Check the power supplies to make sure they are attached to your power source.
3. Turn the switch on each power supply to the ON position.
4. If this is the first time you have powe red on the XP, it will automatically try to boot
using the software image in the control modules boot flash. While the software is booting, the amber Offline LED on the control module is lit.
When the software finishes booting, the Offline LED goes dark and the green Online LED lights up, indicating that the XP software is online. As the software boots, the management console attached to the control modules DB-9 DCE port displays messages related to the phases of the boot sequence. When the software is fully booted, the following message appears on the management console:
5. As prompted, press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI on the console.
Starting the Command Line Interface
To start the Command Line Interface (CLI), power on the system. Startup messages appear on the console (the terminal attached to one of the control modules port s ) .
After the software is fully booted and you press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI, the CLI prompts you for a password. You can define separate passwords for login access, Enable mode, and Configure mode (defined below). T he facto r y d e fault password for all three is set to blank. (Simply press Return.)

Access Modes
The XP CLI has four access modes.
User – Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not allow you to display SNMP , filter, and access control list information or make other configuration changes. You are in User mode when the command prompt ends with the
>”character.
Enable – Allows you to display SNMP , filter, and access control information as well as all the information you can display in User mode. To enter Enable mode, enter the enable command, then supply the password when prompted. When you are in Enable mode, the command prompt ends with the
#” character.
Configure – Allows you to make configuration changes. T o enter Configure mode, first enter Enable mode (enable command), then enter the configure command from the Enable command prompt. When you are in Configure mode, the command prompt ends with
(config).”
Boot This mode appears when the XP, external flash card, or the system image is not
found during bootup. You should enter the reboot command to reset the XP. If the XP still fails to boot, contact Enterasys Networks. (See Technical Support on p age 101.)
Note: The command prompt will show the name of the XP in front of the mode
character(s). The default name is “xp.” The procedure in Setting the Basic System
Information on page 82 describes how to change the system name.
When you are in Configure or Enable mode, use the exit command or press Ctrl+Z to exit to the previous access mode.
Note: When you exit Configure mode, the CLI will ask you whether you want to
activate the configuration commands you have issued. If you type Y (Yes), the configuration commands you issued are placed into effect and the XP’s configuration is changed accordingly . However, the changes are not written to the Startup configuration file in the control modules boot flash and therefore are not reinstated after a reboot. See Activating the Configuration Changes and Saving the
Configuration File on page 94 for info rmation about saving configuration changes.

Setting the Basic System Information
Use the procedure in this section to set the following system information:
System tim e and date
System name
System location
Contact name (the person to contact regarding this XP)
IP address for the management port on the control module
Note: Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value. String values can
be up to a maximum of 255 characters in length including blank spaces. Surround strings that contain blanks with quotation marks (for example: “string with internal blanks”).
1. Enter the enable command to get to Enable mode in the CLI.
2. Enter the following commands to set the system time and date and then verify the setting:
Here is an example:
3. Enter the configure command to get to Configure mode in the CLI. The following commands can be entered only from Configure mode.
4. Enter the following commands to set the system name, lo cation, and contact information:
Here is an example:

5. Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0
Ethernet interface. The en0 Ethernet interface is used by the management port on the control module.
Here is an example:
Note: The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
management port on the control module.
6. When you enter commands in Configure mode, the XP does not immediately execute
the commands, but instead checks the syntax of the commands. If the commands are syntactically correct, the XP stores them in the scratchpad, a temporary storage area in the memory. The scratchpad is cleared when you log out of the XP, so you must activate the changes and then save them to the Startup configuration fi le to retain the changes, as explained below.
The scratchpad allows you to make configuration changes without worrying about the order in which you issue the commands. Also, if you change your mind about configuration changes you are making, you do not need to incrementally back out of the changes. You simply choose not to activa te them. As you become more familiar with the XP and the CLI and begin to make detailed configuration changes, you may find the scratchpad quite useful. For simple changes such as the ones in this procedure, you might instead want to activate the changes as you go, then use CLI commands to view the results of the changes. To show the changes accumulated in the scratchpad, use the show command. (You must be in Configure mode.)
Here is an example:
7. To activate comm an ds in the scratchpad such as the set system commands you
entered in previous steps, enter the following command:
The CLI displays the following message:
8. Type yes to activate the changes.
ssr(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16

84 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
Note: If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing
Ctrl+Z), the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the changes in the scratchpad active.
9. To di splay the active configuration, run the following command:
Here is an example:
10. Changes in the active configuration take effect on the running system but will not be restored following a reboot. To ensure that changes are restored following a reboot, you must save the active database to the Startup configuration file using the following command:
11. You must exit back to Enable mode to run the command. (Alternatively , you can enter the save startup command.)
12. The CLI displays the following message:
13. Type yes to add the active configuration to the Startup configuration file.
See Activating the Configuration Changes an d Saving the Configuration File on page 94 for more information about the scratchpad, active database, and Start up configuration.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
To use SNMP to manage the XP, you need to set up an SNMP community on the XP. Otherwise, the XPs SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode unless you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the XPs SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.

Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
Use the following procedure to add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps.
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3. Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for
the traps.
Note: The target IP address must be locally attached to the XP. You cannot specify a
target that is connected to the XP by another router. If the IP address is more than one hop away from the XP, configure the XP with a static route to the target so that a cold start trap is sent.
4. Use the show command to examine the command you have just entered into the
scratchpad.
5. Use the save active command to activate the commands you entered in the previous
steps.
6. To verify the changes, use the snmp show all command.
Here is an example of the commands and output for configuring SNMP and saving the changes.

7. After verifying the SNMP configuration, save the changes to the Startup configuration file by entering the following command:
Remember to answer “yes” when the CLI asks you whether you want to overwrite the Startup configuration.
Setting Up Passwords
You can password-protect CLI access to the XP by setting up passwo rds for login access and Enable mode access. U se r s who have a login password but not an Enable password can use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can use commands available in the Enable and Configure modes as well as the commands in User mode.
In addition, you can set up the XP for TACACS, TACACS+, and/or RADIUS authentication on login and password by a TACACS or RADIUS server. Procedures for configuring the XP for TACACS and RADIUS can be found in the The TeraLink 2000 Series Library: User Reference.
Note: If a password is configured for Enable mode, the XP prompts for the password
when you enter the enable command. Otherwise, the XP displays a message advising you to configure an Enable password, then enters Enable mode. From Enable mode, you can access Configure mode to make configuration changes.
