NTRO DUCTION

This guide provid es the required informa tion to install the S ummit™ switch .

This guide is intended for use by network administrators who are responsible for
installing and setting up network equipment. It assumes a basic working knowledge of

•

Local Area Networks (LANs)

•

Ethernet concepts

•

Ethernet switc hing and br idging concep ts

•

Routing concepts

•

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

For information o n configuring the Su mmit switch, refer to the ExtremeWare Software
User Guide.

If the information in the “Release Not es” shipped with your switch differs from the
information in this guide, follow the “Release Not es.”

When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type

something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press

the Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:

■ Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the

Escape key”

■ Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc]

If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key

names are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:

Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].

EMORY REQUIREMENTS

Your Summit switch must have 32MB of DRAM in order to support the features in
ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above. This is not an issue for Summit24 and Summit48
switch model s, and a ll curre ntly s hipping swit ches co ntain 32MB . Some e arlie r mode ls
of the Summit switch shipped with 16MB, and must be upgraded to support
ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above.

M

EMOR Y REQUIREMENTS

To deter mine the me mory size i n your swit ch, us e th e foll owing com mand:

show memory

For Summit switches running ExtremeWare 4.0 and above, the switch indicates the total
DRAM size in megabytes as part of the output. For Summit switches running previous
ExtremeWare releases, you must calculate the memory by taking the sum of the bytes
listed under

current free

and ad din g to i t the bytes list ed un der

current alloc

. If
the sum is greater than 16,000,000, there is no need to upgrade the memory on the
switch. If this is not the case, please contact your supplier.

P

ORT CONNECTIONS

The major difference between the models of the Summit switch is the port
configurations on ea ch switch model. Summit sw itches use a combin ation of the
following types of ports:

•

1000BASE-SX ports using 850nm duplex SC connectors

•

1000BASE-LX ports using 1300nm duplex SC connectors

•

1000BASE-SX ports using MT-RJ connectors

•

Modular 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX using Gigabit Interface Connectors
(GBICs)

•

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports using RJ-45 connectors

•

100BASE-FX ports using 1300nm duplex SC connectors

•

100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports using RJ-45 connectors

Table 1-1 describes port configurations available on the different Summit switch models.
