Reset

The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supplies off and on or using the CLI. The reset button is located to the right of the serial management interface and is recessed to prevent you from accidentally pushing the button.

Console

The console port is a serial management interface that allows 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 console port is located in the left corner of the front panel.

Cooling System

The ServerIron 4G Series provides two three-speed fans that operate at high-speed by default. Both fans operate simultaneously at the same speed. If one fan fails, it does not affect the operation of the other fan.

The following fan speeds are available:

• low

• medium

• high You can change the settings of the temperature thresholds using the following command:

FastIron#fan-speed lo

Syntax: fan-speed lo | med | hi

Power Supply

Each ServerIron 4G Series switch comes with one RPS5 or RPS5DC power supply, depending upon the order. They all have two power supply slots, so you might want to install a second power supply for redundancy.

Table 4.2 lists the supported power supplies.

Table 4.2: Supported Power Supplies

Device Supported Power Supplies

ServerIron 4G RPS5 and RPS5DC ServerIron 4G-SSL

The supported power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running. You can remove and insert a power supply without opening the chassis. If the device contains redundant power supplies,

Installation Precautions

Read these precautions before installing a Foundry device.

General Precautions

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the same

or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium battery is a long life battery and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace it, do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.

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

40o C (104o F).

Page 7

ServerIron 4G Series

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

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: Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry a Foundry device.

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: 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.

CAUTION: All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

CAUTION: For the DC input circuit to a ServerIron 4G Series, (DC power supply part number RPS5DC and RPS-X424-DC), make sure there is a 10-amp listed circuit breaker, minimum -48VDC, double pole, on the input to the terminal block. The input wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper wire, 14 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated 90 degrees Celsius.

CAUTION: Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.

CAUTION: Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.)

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

WARNING: Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies

installed in the chassis. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply.

WARNING: Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Foundry Networks recommends that you disconnect the power supply from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source. Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.

Figure 4.7 Installing the Device in a Rack

Powering On the System

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

1. Ensure that all power supplies are fully and properly inserted and no power supply slots are uncovered.

CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the device.

2. Remove the power cord from the shipping package.

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

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

NOTE: To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cord(s).

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

Page 11

ServerIron 4G Series

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 any redundant power supplies, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it passes its self test.

If your device has more than one power supply installed, repeat this procedure for each power supply.

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.

3. Because ServerIron 4G Series devices use power supply model RPS5, they do not have power switches. These switches 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.

4. Verify that the LED for each power supply is a solid green.

5. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs: All 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 the ones that are attached by cables to other devices. If the links on these cables are good and the connected device is powered on, the link LEDs will light.

For more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up, see “Checking the Power Status” on page 4-11 and “Technical Specifications” on page 4-21.

Checking the Power Status

Table 4.1 lists the LEDs that show power status. The power supplies themselves do not have LEDs.

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.

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.

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.

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

When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window. For example:

• FastIron>

• FastIron-PREM>

If you see one of these prompts, you are now connected to the system and can proceed to “Assigning Permanent Passwords” on page 4-13.

You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. If you do not see one of these prompts:

1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Foundry system.

2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Foundry system.

The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. Foundry switches and Layer 3 Switches come with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in Figure

4.8 on page 4-13.

13.

NOTE: As indicated in Figure 4.8 on page 4-13 and Figure 4.9 on page 4-13, some of the wires should not be connected. If you do connect the wires that are labeled “Reserved”, you might get unexpected results with some terminals.

Figure 4.9 Serial Port Pin Assignments Showing Cable Connection Options to a Terminal or PC

Assigning Permanent Passwords

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

NOTE: You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using IronView 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

Page 14

Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide

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.

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:

FastIron> enable

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

FastIron# configure terminal FastIron(config)#

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

FastIron(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:

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

NOTE: If you forget your super-user password, see “Recovering a Lost Password” on page 4-14.

Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password <text> Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.

Recovering 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.

Page 15

ServerIron 4G Series

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.

6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Configuring an IP Address

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.

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.

Connecting ServerIron 4G Series

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

Connecting Network Devices

This section describes how to connect network devices.

Connectors

• 100Base-TX ports come with RJ-45 jacks for standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP/Category 5) cable connections.

• 1000Base-T ports come equipped with RJ-45 connectors.

• 1000Base-SX ports come equipped with SC connectors for SFP transceivers.

• 1000Base-LX ports come equipped with SC connectors for SFP transceivers.

Connecting to 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 4.10 and Figure 4.11). 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.

Consequently, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well.

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 to a Fiber Port” on page 4-16.

Automatic MDI/MDIX Detection

All 100/1000 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 100/ 1000 copper ports by default and cannot be disabled.

Connecting 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:

Page 17

ServerIron 4G Series

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

• Cable the fiber optic module

Installing a Fiber Optic Module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP) in each Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use. You can install a new copper or fiber optic module in a port while the FastIron Stackable device 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 copper orfiber 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.

2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the copper or 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 4-17.

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 4.1 on page 4-18.

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.

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

http://www.fisfiber.com When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

Testing Connectivity

After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices. You also can observe the LEDs related to network connection and perform trace routes.

Pinging an IP Address

To verify that a Foundry device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI on the Foundry device:

FastIron> ping 192.33.4.7

Syntax: ping <ip addr> | <hostname> [source <ip addr>] [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size <byte>] [quiet] [numeric] [no-fragment] [verify] [data <1-to-4 byte hex>] [brief]

Page 18

Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE: If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.

Observing LEDs

After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. Table 4.1 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.

with the remote port.

Meaning/Action

You can do the following:

• Verify that the connection to the other network device has been properly made. Also, make certain that the other network device is powered on and operating correctly.

• Verify that the transmit port on the Foundry device is connected to the receive port on the other network device, and that the receive port on the Foundry device is connected to the transmit port on the other network device. If you are not certain, remove the two cable connectors from the port connector and reinsert them in the port connector, reversing their order.

• Dust may have accumulated in the cable connector or port connector. For information about cleaning the connectors, see “Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 4-17.

blinking (Green)

The port is transmitting and receiving user packets.

If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Foundry Technical Support.

Off for an extended period.

• If the other actions don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

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.

ServerIron 4G Series

Tracing a Route

To determine the path through which a Foundry device can reach another device, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI on the Foundry device:

FastIron> traceroute 192.33.4.7

Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [maxttl <value>] [minttl <value>] [numeric] [timeout <value>] [source-ip <ip addr>]

The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all responses to a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Foundry device displays up to three responses by default.

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:

• 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

the connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.

• If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Managing ServerIron 4G Series

This section describes how to manage ServerIron 4G Series devices.

Managing Temperature Settings

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

Using the Temperature Sensor

The ServerIron 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 shut itself down.

The software reads the temperature sensor according to the chassis 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 shut down the device to prevent damage.

You can use the CLI to do the following:

• Display the temperature of the device

• Change the warning and shutdown temperature levels

• Change the chassis poll time

Viewing Fan Speed Switches and Temperature Thresholds

You can view the speed at which the fans are currently operating and the configured temperature thresholds for fan speed switching. To display the temperature of a device, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:

Syntax: show chassis By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature. This poll

rate is controlled by the chassis poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other system components.

Displaying Temperature Messages

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.

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

Changing the Temperature Warning Level

The Foundry device sends a warning message whenever the device’s internal temperature reaches the default or configured warning temperature. The default warning temperature is 45o C degrees. You can change the warning temperature using the following command.

ServerIron# temperature warning 47

Syntax: temperature warning <value> The <value> can be 0 – 125oC.

Changing the Chassis Temperature Polling Interval

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

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

ServerIron(config)# chassis poll-time 200

Syntax: chassis poll-time <value> The <value> can be 0 – 65535.

Managing Fan Settings and Temperature Sensors

The ServerIron 4G Series has two three-speed fans that operate at hi speed. Both fans operate simultaneously at the same speed. If one fan fails, it does not affect the operation of the other fan.The fans can operate at speeds of low, medium, and high.

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:

Syntax: show cpu The CPU Usage (%) field shows the percentage of management module CPU used by each task. The total CPU usage may not add up to 100 percent. The total may not include resources used by the

management processes. A problem could exist If the CPU usage is distributed unevenly to one task, other than the idle task, for a prolonged

period. If this situation occurs, contact Foundry’s technical support for assistance.
