BlackDiamond 12800 Series Chassis.”

Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches

The BlackDiamond switches are chassis-based, Ethernet service core switches designed for core applications. For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide.
The features of these switches include:
● I/O modules that are hot-swappable and include Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (10/100/1000) and
Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports (SFP), or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
● Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs) that provide the active switching fabric and CPU
control subsystem
● Redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies
● Field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan trays
● Auto-negotiation for half-duplex or full-duplex operation on 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
● Load sharing on multiple ports
The BlackDiamond 12800 series switches include two chassis models:
● BlackDiamond 12804 switch chassis (see page 16)
● BlackDiamond 12802 chassis (see page 18)
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex support means that frames can be transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch will auto-negotiate duplex in the default configuration. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex mode in accordance with technical standards.

About the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches
Management Ports
Each BlackDiamond series Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM) has a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet management port. This port allows you to communicate directly with the central processing unit (CPU) of the switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port, for direct access into the switch. This access allows you to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
External Compact Flash Memory Card
All MSMs in the BlackDiamond family include a compact flash slot next to the console port on the MSM. This slot accepts a compact flash memory card, which can be used to download a new version of ExtremeXOS and for other functions, including capturing debug information and core dump files. See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide for more information regarding the use of the external compact flash memory card.
The external compact flash slot supports third party compact flash cards.
NOTE
You must use an industrial-grade compact flash card in the external compact flash slot of the MSM.

BlackDiamond 12804 Switch Chassis

The BlackDiamond 12804 chassis consists of the following components:
● One 6-slot chassis with backplane
● Four dedicated I/O module slots, labeled 1, 2, 5, and 6
● Two MSM slots, labeled 3/A and 4/B
● Up to six SSI redundant AC/DC power supplies, accessed from the front of the unit
● One fan tray, accessed from the front right of the unit
● One connector for an ESD-preventive wrist strap
● Two PSU/fan controllers that collect and report data from the installed power supply units and the
BlackDiamond fan tray. The PSU/fan controllers intervene in the event of power inconsistencies and provide primary/backup redundancy if a BlackDiamond 12804 PSU/fan controller fails.
Figure 1 shows a BlackDiamond 12804 chassis equipped with one MSM and three optional I/O
modules.

This chapter includes the following sections:
● Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules on page 19
● BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs on page 20
● BlackDiamond 12800 Series I/O Modules on page 23
For information about installing modules in a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch, see Chapter
4, “Installing Modules and Connecting Cables.”

Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules

Two sets of modules are available for the BlackDiamond 12800 series switch: the 12800 series of modules and the 12800 R series of modules. All BlackDiamond 12800 series I/O modules and management system modules (MSMs) use the Extreme Networks 4th Generation ASICs that enable high availability, advanced security, and deterministic performance independent of traffic mix. The BlackDiamond 12800 series R-series modules further provide hierarchical QoS and larger MAC address, IP route, and ACL capacity for network designs that need the advanced QoS features and scale. The R-series modules support rate limiting, which is the ability to control bandwidth throughout the network. For complete details about rate limiting, refer to the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide. Ta ble 3 lists the modules available in each series.
Table 3: Modules for the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches

CAUTION
Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 12802 or 12804 switch. When a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.
NOTE
The BlackDiamond R-series modules must be used together to take advantage of the higher feature set and scale. The ExtremeXOS software recognizes the MSM type installed in your BlackDiamond 12800 series switch and only allows use of compatible I/O modules from the same series. An error message is displayed if you attempt to mix modules.

BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules

BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs

The BlackDiamond 12800 series MSMs are the MSM-5 module, MSM-5R module, and MSM-6R module. These MSMs provide the active switching fabric and CPU control subsystem for the switch. The BlackDiamond 12802 chassis has one dedicated MSM slot; the BlackDiamond 12804 chassis has two dedicated MSM slots. One MSM is required for switch operation; however, adding a second MSM to a BlackDiamond 12804 chassis increases system availability through redundancy. Each MSM provides 192 Gbps of switching throughput through three ASICs. Each module also contains a temperature sensor, nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), and a real-time clock.
The MSM-5 and the MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules support different sizes of Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). The MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules have more memory available for routing tables, learned MAC addresses, and access control lists (ACLs). For specific details about memory allocation, refer to the data sheet for each module.
CAUTION
You must use compatible MSMs and I/O modules from a single BlackDiamond 12800 module series. Do not attempt to mix MSMs from the two different series. The ExtremeXOS software recognizes the MSM type installed in your BlackDiamond 12800 series switch and only allows use of a second MSM of the same type and compatible I/O modules from the same series. An error message is displayed if you attempt to mix module series.
Software Requirements
Tabl e 4 lists the minimum software revision required for MSMs in the BlackDiamond 12800 series
switches.
Table 4: Required Software for BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs
Switch Model MSM Model Required Software
BlackDiamond 12804 MSM-5, MSM-5R ExtremeXOS 11.4.1 or later
MSM-6R ExtremeXOS 12.0.2 or later
BlackDiamond 12802 MSM-5, MSM-5R ExtremeXOS 12.0.1 or later
MSM-6R ExtremeXOS 12.0.2 or later
Make sure your BlackDiamond switches are running the required software version to support the switch model and MSM type. The MSM-6R requires ExtremeXOS 12.0.2 or later. A BlackDiamond 12802 switch running software earlier than version 12.0.1 will not be fully operational.
To upgrade the software in your BlackDiamond 12802 switch, access the latest image at the Extreme Networks support website at instructions in the ExtremeXOS Release Notes.
NOTE
http://www.extremenetworks.com/services/services-hub.aspx. Follow the upgrade

The MSM slot in the BlackDiamond 12802 switch is labeled MSM on the front panel. The ExtremeXOS software refers to this MSM as MSM-A in all related displays and command output.
BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide
BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs
Redundant MSM Activity (BlackDiamond 12804 Switch)
The BlackDiamond 12804 switch can operate with a single MSM installed, providing full bandwidth with this single MSM. When you install a second MSM, one of the MSMs operates as the primary, and the other becomes the secondary or backup.
The primary MSM is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and system management functions. The MSMs in the BlackDiamond 12804 switch are not load sharing. MSM(A) or MSM(B) handles packets while the other MSM is idle.
When you save the switch configuration, it is saved to all MSMs.
Selection of the primary MSM occurs automatically. The following examples describe the selection process:
● When a BlackDiamond 12804 switch boots with two MSMs installed, the MSM in slot 3/A becomes
the primary. If a switch is operating with one MSM and a second MSM is added to the switch after it has been
powered up, the added MSM becomes the secondary. MSMs that operate as secondary, or backup, MSMs can be inserted and removed without disrupting network services.
● If you remove the primary MSM while the switch is operating, the secondary MSM performs a soft
reset and then becomes the primary MSM. For example, if you have a BlackDiamond 12804 switch with a primary MSM in slot 3/A and a
secondary MSM in slot 4/B, and you remove the primary MSM from slot 3/A, the secondary, or backup, MSM in slot 4/B becomes the primary.

● Compact flash—You can insert an external compact flash memory card into this slot. (See Chapter 2
for more information about Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.)
● Reset button—Use the Reset button to reset the MSM without removing the module from the
chassis.
NOTE
Although the BlackDiamond 12800 series MSMs are similar in appearance, each MSM model has specific features. The MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules belong to the R series and include the rate limiting feature, which the MSM-5 module does not support.
To use rate limiting, you must install modules with model numbers ending in R. These include the MSM-5R module or MSM-6R module and the GM-20XTR I/O module, the XM-2XR I/O module, and the XM-2HR module.
The MSM-6R module provides the same functionality as the MSM-5R module, with higher performance for CPU-based activities such as BGP, OSPF, and MPLS.
BlackDiamond 12800 Series I/O Modules
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the MSMs.
When a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch is powered on, the software generates a default configuration for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved unless you explicitly save the configuration to NVRAM.
You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type and then insert a different type of module, the module reverts to its default configuration.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for more information about configuring the modules.

NOTE
Although the GM-20XT module and the GM-20XTR module are similar in appearance, they have different functionality. The GM-20XTR is part of the R series and includes the rate limiting feature; the GM-20XT module does not support rate limiting.
To use rate limiting, you must install the MSM-5R plus the GM-20XTR I/O module and/or the XM-2XR I/O module.
The GM-20XT module and GM-20XTR I/O module have 20 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that use standard RJ-45 connectors and 20 SFP ports. Each pair of ports operates as a combination port. Either the copper port or the fiber port can be active, but not both. You can set up a redundant link by connecting both the copper and fiber ports in the pair. The port that is connected first becomes the active port. If that port fails, the second port automatically becomes active. For more information about redundant ports and automatic failover, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.
The default configuration of the GM-20XT and GM-20XTR I/O module is as follows. All ports:
● Are added to the default VLAN as untagged.
● Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid).
● Operate in autonegotiation mode.

Overview of BlackDiamond 12800 Series Power Supplies

The BlackDiamond 12800 series switches can be powered by either AC or DC power supplies (PSUs). Power supplies in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches are fully fault tolerant and load-sharing in an N+1 configuration. After the system is properly configured, if one PSU fails, the others will provide sufficient power to operate a fully loaded switch.
The BlackDiamond power supply units are intended for use in specific BlackDiamond switches only.
Tabl e 9 lists the power supplies for use in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches.
