Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Quick Install Guide

This poster provides information and instructions to install and commission a factory-supplied Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8000 switch. You can download all documents referenced in this guide at www.avaya.com/support.

Before you start

Confirm that you have the following tools and cables:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver

• RJ-45 console port cable

• ESD cable

Verify power supply unit (PSU)

specifications

Optionally order a redundant PSU to provide redundancy and

load sharing.

Note: The seventh character (?) of the switch order number must be replaced with the proper letter to indicate desired product nationalization.

• “A”: No power cord included.

• “B”: Includes European “Schuko” power cord common in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway,

and Sweden.

• “C”: Includes power cord commonly used in the United

Kingdom and Ireland.

• “D”: Includes power cord commonly used in Japan.

• “E”: Includes North American power cord.

• “F”: Includes Australian power cord.

Notes:

• Avaya does not support installing a combination of AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis.

• There are two power supply slots (PSU1 on top and PSU2 on the bottom). If you only have one power supply, you can install it in either PSU1 or PSU2.

• The switch ships with filler panels covering the power supply slots. If you’re not installing a second power supply, you must leave one of the filler panels in place for proper cooling.

• You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational. One power supply is required for continued switch operation.

Remove the two screws that secure the filler panel to the chassis. (Save the filler panel for possible future use.)

Insert the power supply into the slot.

Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot (AC PSU

shown). The spring latch should engage and move back to its original position as shown below:

Prepare the rack

• Ensure that there is enough rack space to accommodate a 2RU switch (8.8 cm).

• The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.

• The rack is grounded 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.

Mount the switch using the supplied bracket

Caution: Avaya strongly recommends using the mounting

brackets with a shelf. Using the brackets without a shelf can

cause damage to the rack because of the chassis weight.

When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another.

1. Disconnect the power cord from the switch.

2. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch as illustrated below.

• Use the front set of holes for a 4–post rack installation.

• Use the set of holes near the center of the chassis for a 2–post rack installation.

The VSP 8000 Series supports two field-replaceable 800-W power supplies. One power supply ships with the unit and you can optionally install a second power supply for redundancy. If you install a second power supply, the load is shared equally and neither one acts as a primary power supply.

Use this procedure to install either the primary or redundant power supply.

Notes:

• The chassis design prevents an incorrect installation of a power supply. If you insert a power supply upside down, it will

not fully insert.

• The spring latch design ensures that you remove the power cord before removing a power supply from the chassis. If you don’t remove the cord, you cannot move the latch to the left to

release the hooks from the chassis.

4. After you install a power supply, proceed with connecting either

the AC power cord or the DC power supply wiring assembly.

5. Check the LED on the power supply. If it is off, the power supply

is not operating. If it is green, the power supply is operating

normally.

Mount the VSP 8000 switch

There are two ways to install an Avaya VSP 8000 switch in an equipment rack. Refer to one of the following sections:

• Mount the switch using the supplied bracket.

• Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit.

Note: For more details on installing the VSP 8000 Series, see Avaya VSP 8000 Series Installation (NN47200-300).

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

Install SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers

Note: Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and

operating normally. Verify that the transceivers and network cabling support your network configuration. For a complete list of supported transceivers, see the Release Notes for your VSP 8000 model.

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 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.

Commissioning the VSP 8000

Connect the console cable to the VSP 8000

Console port cabling specifications:

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

are as follows:

PEC Code Name Short Description

AL2011022-E6

AL2011020-E6

AL2011021-E6

Avaya RJ-45/DB-9 CONSOLE CABLE

AVAYA RED DB-9 FEMALE TO RJ-45 ADAPTOR

AVAYA BLU E DB-9 MALE TO RJ-45 ADAPTOR

On your VSP 8000 switch, the console port (l0l0l) is the RJ-45 port outlined with a blue border on the front of your switch (note orientation). 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.

DB–9 Console port pin assignments

Connector Pin Number Signal

The VSP 8000 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 appropriate. 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.

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.

Configure a management interface

Use one of the following steps to configure either an in-band or an out-of-band management interface.

Step 2a: Configure an in-band management IP interface and VLAN

Note: The following procedure uses VLAN 20 and IP address

10.139.43.17 as an example.

1. Create a VLAN: Switch:1(config)# vlan create 20 type port-mstprstp 0

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

3. Activate ports: Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitEthernet1/1-1/4 Switch:1(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 2b: Configure an out-of-band management IP interface and VLAN

1. Configure the management interface:

Switch:1(config)# interface mgmtEthernet mgmt Switch:1(config-if)# ip address 10.139.43.17/24

2. Configure static routes:

Switch:1(config)# router vrf mgmtrouter Switch:1(config-vrf)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.139.43.1 weight 1

Shutting down the VSP 8000

Caution: Before you unplug the power cord, always perform

the following shutdown procedure. This procedure flushes any pending data to ensure data integrity.

1. Enter the Privileged EXEC command mode:

enable

2. Shutdown the VSP 8000.

sys shutdown

3. Before you unplug the power cord, wait until you see the

following message:

System Halted, OK to turn off power.
