Extreme Networks VSP 4450GSX-PWR+, VSP 4450GSX-DC Quick Install Manual

1. If you mount the VSP 4000 switch on a table or shelf, attach

the included rubber footpads as indicated. The surface must
support the combined weight of the switch and attached
cables (15 to 20 pounds [7 to 9 kilograms]).

2. Set the device on a flat surface near a power source. Allow at
least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space on all sides for proper
air flow, and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power
cord clearance.

Confirm that you have the following tools and cables:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver

• Console cable that matches the console connector on the
switch (DB-9 or RJ-45)

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) cable

This document provides information and instructions to
install and commission a factory-supplied Extreme Networks
Virtual Services Platform 4000 4450GSX series switch. You
can download all documents referenced in this guide at

The VSP 4000 4450GSX series switch supports two
field-replaceable AC or DC PSUs. One PSU is supplied with the
chassis that can fully power the VSP 4000 system. The AC PSU
can fully power the system including all PoE+ ports.

Optionally order a redundant PSU for redundancy and
load sharing.

If a blanking plate covers the required power supply slot,
remove the blanking plate before attempting to insert the
power supply.

2. Insert the power supply into a rear power supply slot as
illustrated.

3. Verify that each power supply is fully seated in the slot.

a. Table or shelf mounting

Caution: To protect the VSP 4000 switch against ESD damage, do

the following before you connect the data cables to
the device:

• Use antistatic wrist straps. Ensure that the strap has good skin
contact. Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the
installation is complete.

• Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and
equipment racks.

• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing.

• Avoid touching the connector pins.

b. Rack mounting

2.

Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated. Insert and tighten

the rack-mount screws.

Prepare the rack:

1. Allocate 1U of vertical space for each switch in an EIA or

IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.

Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached
to a permanent structure.

2. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the
power service in the area. The ground path must be permanent
and must not exceed 1 ohm of resistance from the rack to the
grounding electrode. It is recommended using a filter or
surge suppressor.

Mount the switch:

1. Attach an L-bracket to each side of the switch using the #2

Phillips screwdriver as illustrated.

1.

Connect the power cord to the back of the switch, and then

plug the other end of the cord into a power outlet.

Note: You will need two power cords if you have installed a
redundant PSU.

Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the 4000
Series switch and the power receptacle type in your country.

2.

Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure
the PWR LED is lit. If not, check whether the power cord is
plugged in correctly. The switch will power on immediately
when it is connected to a suitable power source.

Note: Before installing, ensure that the VSP 4000 switch is
operating normally. Verify that the SFP or SFP+ transceivers and
network cabling support your network configuration.

1. Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.

2. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the

network configuration.

3. Grasp the transceiver (SFP/SFP+) between your thumb
and forefinger.

4. Insert the transceiver into the proper SFP/SFP+ slot on the
switch as illustrated. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver
until it clicks and locks into position in the slot.

Console port cabling specifications

Ensure the use of Category 5E or higher specification cabling
for 1 Gbps/1000 Mbps operation. RJ-45 console port cables

Note: In the following procedure you create a VLAN with
ID 20 and name.

1. Create a VLAN:
VSP-4450GSX:1(config)#vlan create 20 name

type port-mstprstp 0

2. Add VLAN members:
VSP-4450GSX:1(config)#vlan members add 20 1/4

3. Configure a management IP interface for the VLAN
(for example, 192.0.2.85):

VSP-4450GSX:1(config)#interface vlan 20
VSP-4450GSX:1(config)#ip address

192.0.2.85 255.255.255.0

1. Connect the console cable from the terminal to the console
port of the switch to allow initial configuration. Any terminal
or PC with the appropriate terminal emulator can be used
as the management station.

2. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal
emulation program to VT100 or VT100/ANSI.

3. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal
emulation application.

PEC Name Short Description

RJ-45/DB-9
CONSOLE CABLE

The VSP 4000 has an RJ-45 female
connector, so a serial cable with
RJ-45 connectors, or a serial cable
with a DB-9 female connector on
one end and an RJ-45 on the other
is required.

The maximum length for the console
port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).

Converts DB-9 male to RJ-45 serial
port. The adaptor can be used for PC
or device with DB-9 male console
port. Also, can be used with
Category 5 RJ-45 straight cable to
provide console connection.

Converts DB-9 female to RJ-45 serial
port. This adaptor can be used to
convert DB-9 of AL2011013-E6
console cable to RJ-45.

On your VSP 4000 switch, the console port is the RJ-45 port
marked 10101 at the far right end on the front panel. Use an
RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to
your management terminal. Use adaptors to provide different
connection options. The maximum length of a console cable is
25 feet (8.3 meters). The following tables describe the RJ-45
and DB-9 console port pin-out information. You can use the
pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use
with your maintenance terminal.
