Control Features

Each device’s front panel includes the following control features:

• Serial management interface (the port labeled Console)

• Reset button

Serial Management Interface (Console Port)

The serial management interface enables you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a directly connected PC. A straight-through EIA/TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) ships with the device. The serial management interface (the Console port) is located in the right corner of the front panel.

Reset Button

The reset button allows you to restart the system without removing power or using the CLI or Web management interface. The button is located to the left of the serial management interface and is recessed to prevent it from being pushed accidentally.

FastIron LS Network Interfaces

The FLS624 and FLS648 provide the following interfaces:

• 10/100/1000 ports with RJ-45 copper connectors

Product Overview

• 100/1000 ports with mini-GBIC slots for SFP MSA-compliant fiber transceivers

• Optional 10-Gigabit uplink modules

For information about the type of fiber optic modules supported on the FastIron LS, see “Fiber Optic Modules” on page 2-7.

FastIron LS 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports

The switches contain 24/48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on these switches support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straightthrough cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page B-3.) In addition, it is ideal and preferred to use MDIX cable for switch-to-switch connections.

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

Network Interfaces

Table 2.2 describes the network interfaces supported on the FastIron LS. For network interface specifications, see the table “Cable length summary table” on page 2-7.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Module Slots

These switches include two slots on the rear panel for single-port 10GBASE uplink modules with XFP transceivers, and a single port CX4 module. The 10GBASE transceivers operate at 10 Gbps full duplex with support for asymmetric flow control (that is, the port honors incoming pause frames, but does not originate pause frames).

10 Gbps CX4 Ports

This section describes the 10-GbE CX4 module.

10-GbE CX4 Module

The single-port CX4 module is installed in the FLS624 and FLS648 (shown in Figure 2.6). You can order the FastIron LS with a single-port CX4 module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device. This module is a 10-GbE-CX4 Ethernet uplink card. It can perform data transmission directly through copper links to 15m(extended 30m) in length.

The following single-port CX4 module is supported:

• single-port CX4 uplinks for 10-Gigabit.

Link and Activity LEDs on the module faceplates indicate operational status:

• If the Lnk LED is on, the port is connected. If the Lnk LED is off, no connection exists, or the link is down.

• If the Act LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port. If the Act LED is off, no traffic is being transmitted or received on the port.

When this module is installed, the show media command returns the following display:

Product Overview

Fiber Optic Modules

A list of the types of fiber optic modules supported on Layer 2 Compact Switches can be found in “Cable length summary table” on page 2-7

NOTE: Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms that are larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side by side into a SuperX module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older modules are identified by the number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the serial number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation.

Power Supplies

There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of each switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord. The receptacle labeled “RPS” is for the optional redundant power supply.

Optional Redundant Power Supply

The switch supports an optional redundant power supply (RPS), that can supply power to the switch in the event the internal power supply fails.

Power Supply Receptacles

There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of each switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord. The receptacle labeled “RPS” is for the optional redundant power supply.

Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing a Foundry device.

General Precautions

WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed

50o C (121o F).

CAUTION: Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.

CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the device.

Lifting Precautions

WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming

unstable or falling over.

WARNING: Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power Precautions

CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the

circuits fails.

CAUTION: To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.

CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To

determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

WARNING: If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure

you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.

Installing a Redundant Power Supply

About the RPS2-EIF Redundant Power Supply

Overview

Foundry Network’s External Redundant Power Supply (RPS2-EIF) can supply a maximum of 150 Watts of output power per port, a total of 600 Watts of backup power to four FasrIron devices in the event of an AC loss or failure of an internal power supply.

The system operates as a backup to a switch's internal power supply. If an internal power supply fails, the RPS will support the full load of the switch without affecting network operation.

The following devices are supported by the FastIron RPS2-EIF: Foundry FastIron LS624 and FastIron LS648.

Features and Benefits

• Supports four FastIron devices with 12V DC output

• Status LEDs located on the front panel

• AC line cord can draw power from a different supply circuit

• DC line cord provides backup power to the attached device

• Thermal overload protection prevents the RPS from overheating if a thermal overload occurs.

• Over-voltage protection shuts down an output channel if the voltage exceeds a preset threshold.

• Over-current protection shuts down the RPS if the output load exceeds a preset threshold.

• Short-circuit protection prevents the RPS from being damaged from a short circuit on any output channel.

• The power supply will operate under a no-load condition.

Front and Rear Panels

Four power indicators and one fan indicator are located on the RPS’s front panel. The AC supply and DC backup receptacles are located on the RPS’s rear panel.

Figure 3.9 Installing an optional module

Installing a FastIron LS Switch

NOTE: Slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. You must power off the switch before installing or removing a module.

To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:

1. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.

2. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Foundry recommends using an ESD wrist strap during installation.

3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.

4. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.

5. When you are sure the module has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the module in the slot.

6. When the device is powered on, the module LED on the switch’s front panel should turn green to confirm that the module is correctly installed and ready to use.

CAUTION: If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the device with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Powering On the System

After you complete the physical installation of the system, you can power on the system.

1. Remove the power cord from the shipping package.

2. Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel.

3. Insert the power cable plug into a 115V/120V outlet.

NOTE: To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cord or cords.

NOTE: The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

NOTE: If the outlet is not rated 115/120V, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet.

Verifying Proper Operation

After you have installed a redundant power supply, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it passes the self test.

1. Connect the power cord supplied with the device to the power connector on the power supply on the rear of the device.

2. Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

NOTE: The devices do not have power switches. They power on when you connect a power cord to the device and to a power source.

If your installation requires a different power cord than that supplied with the device, make sure you obtain a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.

3. Verify that the LED for the power supply is green.

4. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs:

All of the port LEDs should flash momentarily, usually in sequence, while the device performs diagnostics. After the diagnostics are complete, the LEDs will be dark except for those that are attached by cables to other devices. If the links on these cables are good and the device has power, the link LEDs will light.

For more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up, see the section, “LEDs” on page 3-9 and “Hardware Specifications” on page 2-1.

Attaching a PC or Terminal

To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through Telnet connections. The CLI is described in detail in the Foundry FastIron X Series Configuration Guide.

You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or IronView Network Manager.

To attach a management station using the serial port:

1. Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through cable. The serial port has a male DB-9 connector.

Installing a FastIron LS Switch

NOTE: You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.

2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:

• Baud: 9600 bps

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. Foundry switches come with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in Figure 3.11.

Figure 3.11 Serial Port (DB-9 DTE) Pin-Out

Most PC serial ports also require a cable with a female DB-9 connector.

Terminal connections will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.

Serial cable options between a Foundry switch or router and a PC or terminal are shown in Table 3.3.

Connecting Network Devices and

Checking Connectivity

This chapter provides the details for connecting network devices.

WARNING: The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.

Table 4.1 lists the tasks you must perform to connect your Foundry device, and shows where to get troubleshooting information for any problems that can arise.

Table 4.1: Network Connectivity Tasks

Step Task Page

1 Assigning Permanent Passwords 4-4

2 Configuring IP Addresses 4-3

3 Connect your device to another networking device. 4-4

4 Troubleshoot any problems that can arise. 4-7

Assigning Permanent Passwords

By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Foundry strongly recommends assigning passwords. See the Foundry Security Guide.

NOTE: You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using IronView Network Manager if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.

The CLI contains the following access levels:

• User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.

• Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.

• CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:

• Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.

NOTE: You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.

• Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.

• Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.

To set passwords:

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode:

FLS648 Switch> enable

2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:

FLS648 Switch# configure terminal FLS648 Switch(config)#

3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password:

FLS648 Switch(config)# enable super-user-password <text>

NOTE: You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.

4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:

FLS648 Switch(config)# enable port-config-password <text> FLS648 Switch(config)# enable read-only-password <text>

NOTE: If you forget your super-user password, see “Recovering from a Lost Password” on page 4-2.

Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password <text>

Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.

Recovering from a Lost Password

By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for the device but the password has been lost, you can regain super-user access to the device using the following procedure.

NOTE: Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.

To recover from a lost password:

1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Foundry device.

2. Reboot the device.

3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.

4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)

5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.

After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity

Configuring IP Addresses

You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. In addition, Foundry routers require an IP subnet address for the subnet in which you plan to place them in your network.

Foundry devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter “209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.

By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. See the Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide or the Foundry Enterprise Configuration and Management Guide.

NOTE: If your network uses a BootStrap Protocol (BootP) server or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, you can allow the Foundry device to obtain IP addresses for the hosts on the network.

Devices Running Layer 2 Software

To configure an IP Address on a device running Layer 2 software:

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

FLS648 Switch> enable

2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FLS648 Switch#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:

FLS648 Switch# erase startup-config

CAUTION: Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

FLS648 Switch# configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level FLS648 Switch(config)# Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.

FLS648 Switch(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.

FLS648 Switch(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1

NOTE: You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.

Syntax: enable [<password>]

Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>

Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>

Connecting Network Devices

Foundry devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Foundry devices.

Connectors

See “Cable length summary table” on page 2-7

For port pinouts, see the section “Pinouts and Signaling” on page 2-6.

Cable Specifications

See “Cable Specifications” on page 2-7 for cable lengths and types.

Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs

For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another Foundry device, a crossover cable is required (Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.

NOTE: The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI/MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, see the Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide or the Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Basic Configuration Guide.

Connecting to Workstations, Servers, or Routers

Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routers using network interface cards (NICs).

Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers via fiber ports. See “Connecting a Network Device to a Fiber Port” on page 4-5.

Automatic MDI/MDIX Detection

All 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet Copper ports on the Foundry FastIron devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gigabit copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI/MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.

For more information about this feature and how configure it, see the Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide.

Connecting a Network Device to a Fiber Port

For direct attachment from the Foundry device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, fiber cabling with an LC connector is required.

To connect the Foundry device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following:

• Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or mini-GBIC for Gigabit Ethernet ports, or XFP-MSA transceiver for 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports)

• Cable the fiber optic module

The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.

Installing a Fiber Optic Module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.

You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the FastIron LS is powered on and running.

Before installing one of these modules into the port, have the following on hand:

• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

To install a fiber optic module, do the following:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a Fiber Optic Module

To cable a fiber optic module, do the following:

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. For more information, see “Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 4-6.

3. Gently insert the cable connector(s) (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector(s) until the tabs lock into place.

4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about the LED indicators, see Table 4.2 on page 4-7.

Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Foundry recommends using the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner that shipped with your FastIron LS. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following Website:

http://www.fisfiber.com/Home_Page.asp

When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

Testing Connectivity

You can observe the LEDs related to network connection.

Observing LEDs

After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. Table 4.2 outlines the LEDs related to the network connections, the desired state of each LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.

blinking (Yellow)

If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Foundry’s technical support.

The port is transmitting and receiving user packets.

Off for an extended period.

The port is not transmitting or receiving user packets. You can do the following:

• Check the Link LED to make sure the link is still established with the remote port. If not, take the actions described in the Meaning/Action column for the Link LED.

• Verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. You can use the CLI. If you have configured an IP address on the device, you also can use the Web management interface or IronView Network Manager.

Troubleshooting Network Connections

• For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the Foundry device and the connected device) are snug.

• Verify that the Foundry device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.

• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

• For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.

• For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the receive port on

Managing FastIron LS Temperature Settings

This section describes how to display temperature settings on the FastIron LS and how to change the temperature warning and shutdown levels.

Using the Temperature Sensor on the FastIron LS

The FastIron LS comes with a built-in temperature sensor. The temperature sensor causes the device to generate a Syslog message and SNMP trap if the temperature exceeds a specified warning level or shutdown level. If the device’s temperature exceeds the safe threshold (shutdown level), the device will reboot if it stays in the safe threshold for five minutes.

The software reads the temperature sensor according to the device poll time, which is 60 seconds by default. If the temperature equals or exceeds the shutdown temperature for five consecutive polls of the temperature by the software, the software will reboot the device to prevent damage.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

You can use the CLI or Web management interface to do the following:

• Display the temperature of the device

• Change the warning and shutdown temperature levels

• Change the device poll time

NOTE: Fan speed temperature threshold cannot be changed in the first release of the FastIron LS.

Displaying the Temperature on the FastIron LS

By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other system components.

To display the temperature of a device, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:

FLS648 Switch> show chassis Power supply 1 not present Power supply 2 (NA - AC - Regular) present, status ok

Fan 1 failed Fan 2 failed Fan 3 failed Exhaust Side Temperature Readings:

Current temperature : 31.0 deg-C

Warning level.......: 45.0 deg-C

Shutdown level......: 55.0 deg-C

Intake Side Temperature Readings:

Current temperature : 27.5 deg-C

Boot Prom MAC: 000a.fae1.a189

Syntax: show device

Displaying Syslog Messages for Temperature on the FastIron LS

The software sends a Syslog message and an SNMP trap if the temperature crosses the warning or shutdown thresholds. The following methods describe how to view the system log on the device. If you have configured the device to use a Syslog server or SNMP trap receiver, see the documentation for the server or receiver.

Maintaining the FastIron LS Hardware

To display the system log, enter the following command at any CLI level:

FLS648 Switch# show log Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 8 messages logged level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error I=informational N=notification W=warning

Static Log Buffer:

Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):

at 0 days 0 hours 2 minutes 0 seconds, level alert Temperature 48.0 C degrees, warning level 45.0 C degrees, shutdown level 55.0 C degrees

at 0 days 0 hours 1 minutes 0 seconds, level alert Temperature 50.0 C degrees, warning level 45.0 C degrees, shutdown level 55.0 C degrees

Changing the Temperature Warning and Shutdown Levels on the FastIron LS

The default warning temperatures and the default shutdown temperatures for the FastIron LS are as follows:

For the FLS624:

- Warning temperature is 62C (exhaust side)

- Shutdown temperature is 68C (exhaust side)

For the FLS648:

- Warning temperature is 58C (exhaust side)

- Shutdown temperature is 62C (exhaust side)

NOTE: These temperatures reflect the temperature of the board inside the device.

To change the temperature at which the device sends a warning, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

FLS648 Switch# temperature warning 47

Syntax: temperature warning <value>

The <value> can be 0 – 125.

The default values for the FastIron LS are as follows:

For the FLS648:

- Warning temperature is 58C (exhaust side)

- Shutdown temperature is 62C (exhaust side)

For the FLS624:

- Warning temperature is 62C (exhaust side)

- Shutdown temperature is 68C (exhaust side)

NOTE: These temperatures reflect the temperature of the board inside the device. You cannot set the warning temperature to a value higher than the shutdown temperature.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

To change the shutdown temperature, enter a command such as the following at Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

FLS648 Switch# temperature shutdown 57

Syntax: temperature shutdown <value>

The <value> can be 0 – 125.

Changing the Temperature Polling Interval

The software reads the temperature sensor and polls other hardware sensors according to the value set for the poll time, which is 60 seconds by default. You can change the poll time using the CLI.

To change the poll time, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

FLS648 Switch(config)# chassis poll-time 200

Syntax: chassis poll-time <value>

The <value> can be 0 – 65535.

Displaying Management Module CPU Usage

You can display the amount of the management module’s CPU in use. To do so, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:

FLS648 Switch# show cpu 31 percent busy, from 3248 sec ago

1 sec avg: 31 percent busy 5 sec avg: 31 percent busy 60 sec avg: 31 percent busy 300 sec avg: 31 percent busy

Syntax: show cpu

Hardware Maintenance Schedule

The FastIron switch requires minimal maintenance for its hardware components. Foundry recommends cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable each time you disconnect the cable.

Otherwise, you can replace the following hardware components as needed:

• Copper and fiber optic modules (SFPs (mini-GBICs) and XFP transceivers)

• 10-Gigabit Ethernet module

Installing or Replacing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module

The 1-port and 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules are optional. You can order the FastIron LS with a 10-Gigabit module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device.

This section provides the steps for installing, removing, and replacing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. You will need the following tools to perform these procedures:

• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) kit.

Maintaining the FastIron LS Hardware

Installing an Optional Module into the Switch

Figure 5.1 Installing the Device in a rack mount

NOTE: The slide-in modules are not hot-swappable, you must power off the switch before installing or removing

a module.

To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:

1. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.

2. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity. Also, it is recommended to use an ESD wrist strap during installation.

3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.

4. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.

5. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the module in the slot.

6. When the device is powered on, the Module LED on the switch’s front panel should turn green to confirm that the module is correctly installed and ready to use.

Removing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Module

1. Remove the 10-Gigabit module:

• Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws on the 10-Gigabit module.

• Gently lift the module up and out of the device.

2. Place the 10-Gigabit module in an anti-static bag for storage.

3. Do one of the following:

• Insert the new 10-Gigabit module as instructed in the section “Installing an Optional Module into the

Switch” on page 5-5.

• If you are removing the module without replacing it, install the blank face place in the rear panel.

Replacing a Fiber Optic Module

You can remove an SFP or XFP from a port and replace it with a new one while the FastIron LS is powered on and running.

This section provides information about the following tasks:

• Removing a fiber optic module

• Installing a new fiber optic module

• Cabling a fiber optic module

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Removing a Fiber Optic Module

You can remove a fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC) or an XFP from a port while the FastIron LS is powered on and running.

Before removing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:

• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the FastIron LS.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

• The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially installed the module.

To remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, do the following:

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.

3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.

4. Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.

Bail Latch

NOTE: The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.

5. Grasping the bail latch, pull the fiber optic module out of the port.

6. Store the fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.

7. Install a new fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task, see “Installing a New Fiber Optic Module”.

Installing a New Fiber Optic Module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.

You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the FastIron LS is powered on and running.

Before installing one of these modules into the port, have the following on hand:

• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.

To install a fiber optic module, do the following:

Maintaining the FastIron LS Hardware

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a Fiber Optic Module

To cable a fiber optic module, do the following:

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. See “Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 5-7.

3. Gently insert the cable connector(s) (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector(s) until the tabs lock into place.

4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about the LED indicators, see Table 4.2 on page 4-7.

Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

http://www.fisfiber.com/Home_Page.asp

When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

Digital Optical Monitoring

You can configure your Foundry device to monitor XFPs in the system either globally or by specified port. If monitoring is enabled, console messages, syslog messages, and SNMP traps are sent when XFP operating conditions warrant and a port is enabled.

To configure all XFP ports for optical monitoring, use the following command:

FLS648 Switch(config)#optical-monitor

To configure a specific XFP port for optical monitoring, use the following command:

FLS648 Switch(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 FLS648 Switch(config-if-e10000-1/1)#optical-monitor

To configure a range of XFP ports for optical monitoring, use the following command:

FLS648 Switch(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 FLS648 Switch(config-mif-e10000-1/1-1/2)#optical-monitor

Syntax: [no] optical-monitor <alarm-interval>

The optional <alarm-interval> variable sets the interval in minutes between which alarms or messages are sent. The default interval is 3 minutes.

You can view the XFP optical monitoring information using the show optic command as shown:

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact Technical Support for assistance.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.

In-Band Access

You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.

C (121o F).

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide

CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case

one of the circuits fails.

VORSICHT: Es empfiehlt sich die Installation eines separaten Stromkreiszweiges für jede Wechselstrom-

Elektroschnur als Redundanz im Fall des Ausfalls eines Stromkreises.

MISE EN GARDE: Utilisez un circuit de dérivation différent pour chaque cordon d’alimentation C.A. Ainsi, il y

aura un circuit redondant en cas de panne d’un des circuits.

PRECAUCIÓN: Use un circuito derivado separado para cada cordón de alimentación de CA, con lo que se

proporcionará redundancia en caso de que uno de los circuitos falle.

CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current

protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

VORSICHT: Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät überbelastet

werden. Addieren Sie die Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte, die am selben Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie feststellen, ob die Gefahr einer Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen Sie diese Summe mit der Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme (in Ampere) stehen normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben den Eingangsstromanschlüssen.

MISE EN GARDE: Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le

câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des circuits d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les dispositifs installés sur le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la limite de charge du circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement imprimée sur chaque dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée d'alimentation.

PRECAUCIÓN: Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la

protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los circuitos de suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de todos los instrumentos instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma con el límite nominal para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas están generalmente impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los conectores de corriente de entrada.

CAUTION: Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a

system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

VORSICHT: Verwenden Sie den Befehl "Erase startup-config" (Löschen Startup-Konfig) nur für neue

Systeme. Wenn Sie diesen Befehl in ein bereits konfiguriertes System eingeben, löscht der Befehl die Konfiguration. Falls Sie aus Versehen die Konfiguration eines bereits konfigurierten Systems löschen, geben Sie den Befehl "Write Memory" (Speicher schreiben) ein, um die laufende Konfiguration in der Startup-Konfig-Datei zu speichern.

MISE EN GARDE: N'utilisez la commande erase startup-config que pour les nouveaux systèmes. Si vous entrez

cette commande sur un système que vous avez déjà configuré, elle efface la configuration. Si vous effacez la configuration par accident sur un système configuré, entrez la commande write memory pour enregistrer la configuration actuelle dans le fichier startup-config.

PRECAUCIÓN: Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas nuevos

solamente. Si usted introduce este comando en un sistema que ya ha configurado, el comando borrará la configuración. Si usted borra accidentalmente la configuración en un sistema ya configurado, introduzca el comando write memory (escribir memoria) para guardar la configuración en ejecución en el archivo startup-config.

Cautions and Warnings

CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the device.

VORSICHT: Lassen Sie keine Werkzeuge im Device zurück.

MISE EN GARDE: Ne laissez jamais d'outils à l'intérieur du châssis.

PRECAUCIÓN: No deje nunca herramientas en el interior del chasis.

CAUTION: If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the

device with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.

VORSICHT: Falls kein Modul im Steckplatz installiert wird, muss die Steckplatztafel angebracht werden.

Wenn ein Steckplatz nicht abgedeckt wird, läuft das System heiß.

MISE EN GARDE: Si vous n’installez pas de module dans un slot, vous devez laisser le panneau du slot en

place. Si vous faites fonctionner le châssis avec un slot découvert, le système surchauffera.

PRECAUCIÓN: Si no instala un módulo en la ranura, deberá mantener el panel de ranuras en su lugar. Si

pone en funcionamiento el chasis con una ranura descubierta, el sistema sufrirá sobrecalentamiento.
