Overview
Introduction
High powered networks require a combination of speed and robust services support to be able to
provide the intensive and fluctuating demands of their end users. To answer these requirements,
the network needs to provide data transmission at wire speed performance in a non-blocking
fashion. This switch is an enhanced Metro Ethernet CPE platform designed to provide wire
speed non-blocking Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching architecture as well as Hierarchical Virtual
Private LAN Services (HVPLS) hubs-and-spokes and MPLS based rings support.
The platform capabilities include Ethernet LAN/ Line services, use of advanced Hierarchical
QoS (tens of thousands of queues) as well as Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Services
(HVPLS) hubs-and-spokes and MPLS based rings support. The platform offers services
convergence such as voice, data and video over Gigabit Ethernet, Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet
(MPLS/ VPLS).
There are two flavors to the NetIron M2404, the NetIron M2404C and the NetIron M2404F.
(1) NetIron M2404C accommodates 24 Fast Ethernet copper ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports;
(2) NetIron M2404F accommodates 24 Fast Ethernet fiber ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The platforms are identical in their performance.

Built-In Self Test (BIST)
The BIST performs a set of basic hardware and configuration validity tests. Tests in the BIST
are sorted into several groups – for example, the tests of the Power Supply units belong to a
Power Supply Test group.
Startup BIST - The BIST is performed automatically on startup. The results are summarized on
the terminal before the switch banner.
BIST by request - A user may request BIST execution at any time by using a CLI command.
The current BIST status may be read and cleared by using CLI commands. When the BIST
detects a failure in any of the tests, it causes the Status LED indicator to blink.
The switch supports the following tests:
• CPU Core Test
• CPU Interface Test
• Data Buffer Test
• Power Supply Test
• On-Board Power Test
• Fan Test
• Temperature Test.

and download the application in the Loader by using the download application command.
Downloading a Device Software Image Using TFTP
To download a device software image to the switch from a TFTP server, proceed as follows:
Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches
1.
Copy the device software image file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the
workstation.
2.
Log into the switch through the console port or through a Telnet session. If you log in
using Telnet, your Telnet session will disconnect when you reset the switch to run the
new software.
3.
Make sure there is enough free space on the device file system. Use “dir” command
for this. Free disk space should be at least 0.5MB larger then the downloaded
application size.
Example:
device-name#dir
Listing Directory flash:/:
d S 2048 Jun 30 2005 17:56 Boot/
d S 2048 Jan 1 1993 00:04 Etc/

- 5382 Jul 5 2005 21:26 dflt_startup.cfg
Free disk space 5655104
4.
If there is not enough free space, delete unnecessary files. This is done by using “del”
command.
device-name#del <filename>
Example:
device-name#del /Boot/Oldimage.bin
5.
Download the device software image from the TFTP server using the copy application command in Privileged (Enable) mode:
device-name#config boot
device-name(boot param)#application M2404v2.0.bin
device-name(boot param)#device local
device-name(boot param)#exit
7.
Reset the switch using one of the reload commands. Note that, if you are connected
to the switch through Telnet, your Telnet session will be disconnected.
Select from the following reload commands:
1. reloadsave - this command updates the device's startup configuration to
match the running configuration and reboots the switch.
2. reload to-defaults – this command resets the device's startup configuration
to match the factory defaults and reboots the switch.
After the execution of the command, confirmation is required [y/n]. Enter “y” to
confirm the command.
Example with “reload” command:
device-name#reload save
Save current configuration and reboot the Switch ?
[y/n] : y
...
Example with “reload to-defaults” command:
device-name#reload to-defaults
Restore factory setting and reboot the Switch ?
[y/n] : y
...
8.
After the switch reboots, use the show version command to check the version.
Downloading a NI-M2404WebView Image Using TFTP
To download a NI-M2404WebView software image to the switch from a TFTP server, proceed
as follows:
The switch remains operational while the image is downloaded.
The Java image is downloaded into /Java directory.
Use the show version command to check the Java version on the switch.

The switch has an Ethernet port which allows the user to access it for management purposes or
software upgrades. This port, labeled ETH, is on the left side of the switch’s front panel and is
not one of the switched ports. In order to configure this port for IP, the following commands
must be used (from config mode):
Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches
Hot-swapping a Power Supply
The switch has two redundant power supplies, and can be operated when only one power supply
is connected and powered on, or with both power supplies active. When both power supplies are
active, you can remove or replace one power supply unit without interrupting the operation of
the switch.
To extract a power-supply unit, release the panel screws on both sides of the unit and draw the
unit out of its slot. Insert the replacement unit in the slot, push it carefully all the way in and
fasten the panel screws.
CAUTION
NOTE
Panel screws
