Console Port
There are two console ports on the switch. These ports are used to connect a console to the switch. The one port uses the serial cable supplied with the switch and the other port uses a MicroUSB cable which is not supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the 5400R zl2 Switches”. The console is a full­featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device emulating a VT­100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.

Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Port
This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the switch.
To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage an HP 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX worksta tion.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/ Bootp server.
A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate management network.
For more information, see the "Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)" appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide at: www.hp.com/ networking/support.
System Reset Button
-
This button will reset the entire switch, including the second management module, when powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface, and through SNMP network management applications, such as Intelligent Management Center.
Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. See “Hot Swapping Switch Modules” on
You can also use the no module <slot> command to erase the old module type configuration.
page 2-27.
Clear Button
This button is used for the following purposes:
Deleting Passwords - When pressed for at least one second on either
one of the Management Modules, the Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

Front of the Switch
This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.
Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the
Reset button in a specific pattern, the Clear button clears any configura tion changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default configuration to the switch. The specific patterns to accomplish the Restore Factory Default Configuration are:
i. Press both the System Reset and Clear buttons simultaneously. ii. Release the System Reset button, but continue to hold the Clear
button.
iii. Release the Clear button immediately when you see the Test LED
begins to flash on both the Management Modules.
For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.
MM Shutdown Button
-
When you want to remove a module, the MM shutdown button halts all the management functions. It will not reboot when this button is pressed.
If the system is running with two management modules and the MM shutdown button is pressed on the active module, this causes a failover to the standby module.
If the system is running with two management modules and the MM shutdown button is pressed on the standby module, no failover occurs.
MM Reset Button
The MM reset button resets the Management Module to which it is attached.
If the system is running with two management modules, and if the active module is reset, this causes a failover to the standby module.
If the system is running with two management modules and the on reset is the active, no failover occurs.
When a user presses the reset button, the module will be reset and will reboot.

Power Connector
The Series 5400R zl2 Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source.
The 5400R zl2 switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 volts or 200-240 volts when using the J9828A power supply, 110-127 volts or 200-240 volts when using the J9829A power supply, and 115-127 volts and 200­240 volts when using the J9830A power supply, and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
Redundant Power Supply
Load-sharing redundant power supplies J9828A, max 630W, system power (12V), 275W of POE power; J9829A, 630W max system (12V) power, 900W max POE power; J9830A, 630W max, system (12V) power, 2500W max POE power can be installed in the back of the 5400R zl2 switches. To provide redundancy, each power supply should be connected to different AC power sources. Then, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run.
Note Any combination of J9828A, J9829A and J9830A power supplies can be used
in the same switch. However, HP recommends to only use like supplies in a unit for more deterministic behavior in event of a power supply failure.
Caution The switch redundant power supply is hot swappable, but, as indicated by the
caution statement on the power supply, it must be disconnected from AC power before being installed or removed.
Because the switch can run on a single supply, removing a redundant supply will not interrupt switch operation. However, with a single power supply system will power on Interface module up to 630W. The rest of the Interface modules are powered on the priority of the slot. The slot A has the highest priority and the slot L has the lowest priority.
When power is restored from a second (or more) power supplies, a system reload or interface module reset is not required to restore operation to slots G-L. The 5400R modules will restart by themselves when power recovers.

Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-8). Make sure the physical environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See some installation precautions.
2. Install switch modules (page 2-8). The 5400R zl2 switches have six or 12 universal slots for installing any of the HP Switch v2 zl or v3 zl2 modules. Some of the 5406R zl2 and 5412R zl2 switches come with preinstalled modules. Depending on where you will install your 5400R zl2 switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so they can also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.
page 2-7 for
Note Make sure you use only HP Switch v2 zl or v3 zl2 Modules in your 5400R
zl2 switches. HP switch vl zl modules are not supported.
3. Install power supplies (page 2-12). The 5406R zl2 and 5412R zl2 switches supports up to two power supplies. It may be easier to install the power supplies after mounting the switch. The switch must have at least one power supply to operate.
4. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-14). This is a simple process of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel and on the modules show correct operation. It may be easier to verify if the switch passes self test before mounting the switch.
5. Mount the switch (page 2-16). The 5400R zl2 switches can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface. An optional HP X450 4U/7U Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit (J9852A) is available for mounting 5400R zl2 switches in a cabinet. However, if you want to ship in a cabinet or rack, its recommended to use the 4-post kit in a HP rack. See the installation details for more information.
6. Install the Grounding Wire (page 2-20). If a grounding wire is to be attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.
2-4

Installation Procedures
7. Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-21). Once the switch is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.
8. Connect the network devices (page 2-22). Using the appropriate network cables, connect other switches, hubs, routers, computers, servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports. For more information, see “Connect the Network Devices” on
page 2-22.
Note The 10/100/1000-T ports on the v2 zl or v3 zl2 Modules comply with IEEE
802.3x standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. This feature allows you to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your twisted-pair network connections.
9. Connect a console to the switch (optionalpage 2-23). You m ay wi sh to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a web browser or from an SNMP network management station. Configuration changes can be made easily through the switch’s console interface.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing your 5400R zl2 switch:
WARNING
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low
as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progres sively lighter devices installed above.
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power
supply or module slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. Never have more than one power supply or module slot uncovered at a time while the switch is powered on.
To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part
of your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign object to enter any module or power supply slots.
This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully
power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the unit.

Installation Precautions (continued)
Installation Procedures
Cautions
If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, HP Shock Rack and an HP X4504U/
7U Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (J9852A) for each switch.
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch and power supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to 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 switch and power supply.
When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the
switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. Each power supply should be connected to a dedi
­cated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 45°C (113°F).
Allow three to four inches of space around the sides and back of the
switch to make sure the air flow for the switch is not restricted.

3. (Optional) Install Another Power Supply
Caution The 5400R zl2 switches are designed to provide continuously operating PoE
or PoE+ power in the event of a single power supply failure with only a loss of PoE or PoE+ power to lower priority ports.
If more than one power supply fails while the switch is at or near maximum operating power (that is: the sum total of all PoE supply capacity minus the largest supply, see chapter 2 and 4 of the PoE (Power over Ethernet) Devices Planning and Implementation Guide) loss of all PoE power may result.
To return PoE power to the ports, without causing the switch to reboot, when there are two or more power supplies still supplying 12V power, unplug the power cord for 5 seconds and re-plug it for each power supply one at a time.
The following are the addition power supplies that can be installed in the back of the 5400R switches. The 5406R zl2 switch can hold up to two power supplies and the 5412R zl2 switch can hold up to four power supplies.
J9828A: 630W of max power of system 12V power or 275w of max PoE
power. Total Max power is 700w.
J9829A: 630W of max power of system 12V power or 900W of max PoE
power. Total Max power is 1100W.
J9830A (with 2 power cords): 630W of max power of system 12V power
or 2500W of max PoE power. Total Max power is 2750W.
J9830A (with MAIN power cord only): 630W of max power of system 12V
power or 1100W of max PoE power. Total Max power is 1400W.
Note Any combination of J9828A, J9829A and J9830A power supplies can be used
2-12
To prevent overloading of the building circuits breakers, the second power supply must be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. This also helps with redundancy, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run.
Install the second power supply into power slot number 2 as shown in Figure 2-3. Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis. The slot cover can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use.

7. Connect the Switch to a Power Source
1. Plug the included power cord into the switch’s power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.
If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power supply from the independent AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is, protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the switch will lose all power.
2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-16.

8. Connect the Network Cables
The type of network connections you will need to use depends on the types of switch modules you have installed in your 5400R zl2 Switch. See the documentation accompanying the modules for cabling configurations and procedures for those modules.
In general for all the modules, when a network cable from an active network device is connected to the switch, the Link LED for the switch port should go on. If the Link LED does not go on, use the table below to help solve the problem, and see the module documentation for troubleshooting procedures.
For more information on 40G port LED information, see v3 zl2 module installation guide.
Condition Diagnostic Tip
Port LED is still off when a cable is connected
Try the following procedures:
• For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.
• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection: – for all twisted-pair connections, the RJ-45 connectors on the 5400R zl2 switches allow you to
use either straight-through cable or crossover cable when the port is in the “Auto” configuration.
– for fiber-optic connections, verify the transmit port on the switch is connected to
the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.
See appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for information on cables.
• Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change.
• Verify the connection parameters in the configurations of the switch port and the connected device match. Mismatched configurations are a frequent cause of connection problems.
You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or Intelligent Management Center network management software to determine the state and configuration of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
• If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

10. (Optional) Connect to the Management Console of the Switch
The 5400R zl2 switches have a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing the following tasks:
Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity counters
Modify the switch’s configuration
Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
Download new software to the switch
Add passwords and other security features to control access to the switch
from the console, web browser interface, and network management stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console,
directly to the switch using the serial cable that comes with the 5400R zl2 switches. If the PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, you can use a readily available 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable, or attach a 9-to-25 pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the cable.
In-Band: Access the console using telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp.
Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a VT-100 or DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal, or use a VT-100 terminal and configure it to operate with these settings:
any baud rate from 2400 to 115200 (the switch automatically senses the
speed)

If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time through either a direct connection or a TELNET session, see chapter 3, “Getting Started With Switch Configuration” for some basic configuration steps. For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Config uration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site.
Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Port
This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the switch.
To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage an HP 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX worksta tion.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/ Bootp server.

A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate management network.
For more information, see the "Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)" appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide at: www.hp.com/ networking/support.
Hot Swapping Switch Modules
The switch modules can be “hot swapped” (except for the Management Module, it is not hot swappable), that is installed or replaced while the switch is powered on (See Module Installation Notes on differ slightly, though between adding new modules to an empty slot or replacing modules with the same type, and exchanging the module with a different type.

Hot Swapping Switch Modules
Adding or Replacing Modules
If a module has to be replaced with one of the same type, or you are expanding the switch capability by adding a module in a slot where one was not previ ously installed (since the last switch reboot), the replaced or new module is immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.
When you are replacing a module in a slot with another module of different type, the new module does not immediately operate, since the switch contains configuration (such as VLAN membership) involving ports of the older module. Replacing the module does NOT automatically remove such config uration. To remove the older configuration, run the following command from the command line interface:
no module X
where, X is the slot letter of the module to be replaced. After you run command, the slot is restored to a state where no module was previously installed. When you insert the new module, the module operates immediately.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

This chapter is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
For more information on using the switch console and the other switch management interfaces: the web browser interface and the SNMP manage ment tool, Intelligent Management Center, see the Management and Config- uration Guide on the HP networking Website.

Recommended Minimal Configuration

In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask, and no passwords. In this state, it can be managed only through a direct console connection. To manage the switch through in­band (networked) access, you should configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure a Manager password to control access privileges from the console and web browser interface. Other parameters in the Switch Setup screen can be left at their default settings, or you can configure them with values you enter.
3
-
Many other features can be configured through the switch’s console interface, to optimize the switch’s performance, to enhance your control of the network traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been config ured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently through a remote Telnet session, through the switch’s web browser interface, and from an SNMP network management station running a network management program, such as Intelligent Management Center. For a listing of switch features available with and without an IP address, refer to “How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation” in the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Website.
For more information on IP addressing, see “IP Configuration” in the Manage- ment and Configuration Guide.

Note By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual method described in this chapter, see “DHCP/Bootp Operation” in the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Website.

Using the Switch Setup Screen

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage­ment and password protection in your network is to use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup screen.
1. Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number, for example:
HP 5412Rzl2#
2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup screen. The following illustration is an example of a Setup screen with default settings.

Where to Go From Here

The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections, you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station using a tool such as IMC.
Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP management interfaces and all the features that can be configured on the 5400R zl2 switches, see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site.
To Recover from a Lost Manager Password: If you cannot start a con­sole session at the manager level because of a lost Manager password, you can clear all passwords and user names by getting physical access to the switch and pressing and holding the Clear button for a full second.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management
With your 5400R zl2 switches, you can use the switch’s IP address to manage the switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You can use either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the switch.
Starting a Telnet Session
To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example, by using a ping command to the switch’s IP address).
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch and connect to the switch’s IP address.
3. You will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key to continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command (CLI) prompt, for example (assuming there is no password):
HP 5400Rzl2#
Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed context help information about the command. Entering any command followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in the command entry.
Starting a Web Browser Session
Your 5400R zl2 switch can be managed through a graphical interface that you can access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your web browser and typing in the switch’s IP address as the URL. No additional software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included in the switch’s onboard software.
An example web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.

Hot Swapping The HP 5400R zl2 Switch supports “hot swapping” - the ability to replace the
following hardware components while the switch is operating: a fan tray, power supply (if a second power supply is installed), and interface module.
The Management module and its components are not hot swappable.
The hot swapping feature allows you to remove or install modules without powering off or rebooting the switch. Swapped-in modules are recognized by the switch and begin functioning immediately, after they are installed.
Caution The HP 5400R zl2 Switch and its components are sensitive to static discharge.
Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions when hot swapping components. For example, connect your antistatic wrist strap to the ground point on the front of the switch, above the rightmost power supply bay.
WARNING This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power
down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the unit.

Replacing Power Supplies

Replacing Power Supplies
If your HP 5400R zl2 Switch is configured with redundant power supplies, you will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if a power supply fails. Replace the failed component as soon as possible. One of the Internal Power LEDs on the management module will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED indicating which power supply failed.
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.
To remove an AC power supply:
1. Ensure the AC power supply is not plugged into an AC power source on the failed power supply.
2. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws and remove the failed power supply.

Replacing Fan Trays

Replacing Fan Trays
When a fan fails the Fan Status LED on the management module blinks simultaneously with the switch Fault LED. In this case, the entire fan tray needs to be replaced. You cannot replace individual fans.
The fan tray is hot swappable. It can be removed and replaced without removing power from the switch. However, install the new fan tray immediately (after two minutes) after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and switch shutdown (after three minutes). The fan tray is provided with a hotswap controller on the backplane to control the fan power interface during insertion and removal.
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.
WARNING To avoid contact with spinning fans, if you are hot swapping out the
fan tray assembly, pull the assembly out one-inch and allow the fans to stop rotating (approximately 20 seconds) before pulling it all the way out.

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting:
Faulty or loose cables. Look for loose or obviously faulty connections.
If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables. Non-standard and miswired cables may cause
network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable or compare your cable to the cable in appendix B, “Cabling and Technology Information” on
page B-1 for pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester
is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T network installation.
Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have
a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new topology is probably at fault.
In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.
With your 5400R zl2 switches, if you wish to build redundant paths between important nodes in your network to provide some fault toler
­ance, you should enable Spanning Tree Protocol support on the switch. This ensures that only one of the redundant paths is active at any time, thus avoiding data path loops. Spanning Tree can be enabled through the switch console, the web browser interface, or IMC.
The 5400R zl2 switches also support Trunking, which allows multiple network cables to be used for a single network connection without causing a data path loop. See the Management and Configuration Guide for more information on Spanning Tree and on Trunking, which is on the HP networking Web site.

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.
The RJ-45 ports on the 5400R zl2 switches are all configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex):
if the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will
automatically negotiate both link speed and communication mode
if the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example 100
Mbps, at half or full duplex, the switch will automatically sense the link speed, but will default to a communication of half duplex
Because the 5400R zl2 switches behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communi cations between the switch and the device.
Ensure that all devices connected to the 5400R zl2 switches are configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).
If necessary though, you can modify the configuration of the ports on the 5400R zl2 switches to match the configuration of the connected device. Use the switch console, the web browser interface, or IMC to modify the port configuration.
-
Check the port configuration. A port on your 5400r zl2 switch may not
be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.
Use the switch console to determine the port’s configuration and verify that there is not an improper or undesired configuration of any of the switch features that may be affecting the port. See the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site.
For more information on possible network problems and their solutions, refer to the technical note “Troubleshooting LAN Performance and Intermittent Connectivity Problems”, which can be found on the HP networking Web site in the Reference Library,

Diagnostic Tips:
Problem Solution
The power supplies installed in the switch are not plugged into active AC power sources, or the power supply may have failed.
A switch hardware failure has occurred. All the LEDs will stay on indefinitely.
The switch has experienced a backplane failure during self test.
1. Verify the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the switch. Ensure these connections are snug.
2. Try power cycling the switch by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in.
3. If the Power LED is still not on, verify the AC power source works by plugging another device into the outlet. Or try plugging the switch into a different outlet or try a different power cord.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch power supply may have failed. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch may have failed. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty card for more information.
The failure may be just in the communications with a single module slot, or it might be more significant. Start a console session with the switch, and at the CLI prompt issue the command show logging. In the event log that is displayed, there will be messages that describe the extent of the problem. If the problem is with individual slots, the remainder of the switch slots will be fully operational and can be used until you get a chance to replace the switch.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is blinking is an invalid module.
Ensure you have installed a zl or zl2 module in the slot. The HP xl/gl/vl modules will not fit in the interface module slots in 5400R zl2 family, and they are not compatible with HP 5400R zl2 switch. Check to ensure the module has a Blue “zl module” or “zl2 module” symbol on it.
Remove the module from the switch and replace it with a zl module or zl2 module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. You can remove and replace the module without having to power down the switch. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP to get information on supported Switch zl or zl2 modules. You can also view the switch message log for more details on specific errors. The modules that are available as of the printing of this manual are listed on
page 1-22.

Problem Solution
The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization fault.
The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset (through the Reset button on the switch, or the Boot or Reset options in the console or web browser interface), and when they are hot swapped (installed when the switch is powered on).
Since the Link and Mode LEDs on the module were lit at least briefly, that indicates that the module did receive power from the switch, but the subsequent download process failed. Either the module is faulty, or it is a new module type that is not yet supported by the operating code on the switch.
As HP networking introduces new modules for your HP 5400R zl2, you may have to update the switch with new operating code that supports the new module. The documentation that came with the module will indicate which version of the operating code is needed to support the module. The modules that are supported in your 5400R zl2, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on Features”. The latest code can be downloaded from the HP networking Web site at
www.hp.com/networking/support.
First verify the switch has a version of code that supports the module that is indicating the fault. If the module is not one of the ones listed on the module documentation to see what version of switch code is needed. Download the new code and retest the module.
If you have the correct code installed in the switch, try removing and reinstalling the module. You can do this without having to power down the switch. When the module is reinstalled, it will be retested automatically.
If the fault indication reoccurs, the module may have failed. Remove the module from the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty card for more information.

Problem Solution
The network port for which the Link LED is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization failure.
A fault condition has been detected on the power supply installed in the slot corresponding to the blinking number.
During the module self test, described in tip number 4 earlier in this table, each network port is also tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable, but the rest of the ports on the module, which have passed their self test, will continue to operate normally.
If the port is a transceiver, verify it is one of the transceivers supported by the Module. Unsupported transceivers will be identified with this fault condition. The supported transceivers are listed in the module Installation Guide. The transceivers are also tested when they are “hot-swapped”--installed or changed after the Module is installed and receiving power from the switch.
To verify the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the module, as described in tip number 4. For the transceivers, you can just remove and reinstall the transceiver without having to remove the module. If the port fault indication reoccurs, and you need to be able to use the port, you will have to replace the transceiver or the module. In the mean time, all the other module ports will operate normally.
For more information on 40G port self-test or initialization failure, see v3 zl2 module installation guide.
Try removing and reinstalling the power supply.
Caution: Ensure the AC power cord is disconnected from the supply before removing and reinstalling the supply.
Reconnect the power supply to the AC power source. If the error indication reoccurs after the supply is reinstalled, the power supply may be faulty. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
One or more of the switch cooling fans may have failed.
Try disconnecting power from the switch and wait a few moments. Then reconnect the power to the switch and check the LEDs again. If the error indication reoccurs, one or more of the fans has failed. The switch has multiple fans and may continue to operate OK under this condition if the ambient temperature does not exceed normal room temperature, but for best operation, replace the fan tray. Call your authorized reseller or authorized service provider, or use the electronic support services from HP networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

Problem Solution
The network port for which the Link LED is blinking has been disabled because port security has been configured on the switch and a security violation has been detected on the port.
For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that whenever a security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable the port. When a port is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will be continuously flashed at the fast rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The blinking continues until you clear the security violation through the switch console. In the console, you can view the identity of the connected device that committed the security violation.
Once the security violation is cleared, you must re-enable the port through the console.
For more information on the Port Security feature, see the Management and
Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site. See details.

Problem Solution
The network connection is not working properly.
Try the following procedures:
• For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.
• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection. – for any of the twisted-pair connections, in the default configuration (Auto),
either a straight-through or a crossover cable can be used and the switch will automatically adjust its operation. See the “HP Auto-MDIX Feature” description on
Note: If the module configuration is changed to one of the fixed configuration options though (for example, 100-Full Duplex), then the port
operates as MDI-X only and the correct type of cable must be used. in general, for connecting to an end node (MDI port), use straight-through cable; for connecting to MDI-X ports on hubs, other switches, and routers, use crossover cable.
– for fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the switch is
connected to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device, and that both devices are transmitting correctly.
• For a 1000 Mbps connection, verify the network cabling complies with the IEEE
802.3ab standard. The cable should be installed according to the ANSI/TIA/EIA­568-A-5 specifications. Cable testing should comply with the stated limitations for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk, Far-End Crosstalk, Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.
The cable verification must include all patch cables from any end devices, including the switch, to any patch panels in the cabling path.
• Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on
the switch, use the web browser interface, or IMC network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached device. For example, if the switch port is configured as “Auto”, the port on the attached device also MUST be configured as “Auto”. Depending on the port type, twisted-pair or fiber-optic, if the configurations don’t match, the results could be a very unreliable connection, or no link at all.
If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

HP networking tools

HP networking tools
The 5400R zl2 switches have built-in management capabilities that proactively help you manage your network including:
finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions
(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topologies)
informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages
recommending network configuration changes to enhance the
performance of your network
The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can be used to monitor the switch and its network connections, and to help you take advantage of these proactive networking features:
Intelligent Management Center - an SNMP-based network management
tool included with your switch
A graphical web browser interface you can use to manage your switch
from a PC that is running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer.
A full-featured easy-to-use console interface you can access by merely
connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the switch’s console port. The cable to make that connection is provided with your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a telnet connection.
See the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Management and Configuration Guide for more information on using these software tools to diagnose and manage your switch, which is on the HP networking Website. See

Reasons for Resetting the Switch
Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are:
Changing certain switch configuration parameters through the console
interface. (In this case, the console provides indications when the switch must be reset for the configuration change to be activated.)
You do not need to reset the switch when:
Installing a module in a previously unused slot.
Replacing a module with the same type of module.
Replacing the module with a different type of module.
Methods of Resetting the Switch
You can reset the switch by any of these methods:
pressing the System Reset button. On the 5400R zl2 switches, this is the
Reset button on the Management Module.
power cycling the switch (if both power supplies are being used, you will
have to disconnect all the power cords)
issuing the boot command from the switch console CLI, or selecting the
Reset or Boot option from the switch console menu, web browser inter
-
face, or Intelligent Management Center.
Testing the Switch by Resetting It
If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset a switch, either:
Unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling)
Press the System Reset button on the front of the switch
Select the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface,
or Intelligent Management Center.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Power cycling the switch, pressing the System Reset button, and the software reset or reboot options all cause the switch to perform its power-on self-test, which almost always will resolve any temporary operational problems. These reset processes also cause any network traffic counters to be reset to zero and cause the System Up Time timer to reset to zero. Neither of these reset procedures causes any changes to the switch configuration.
Checking the Switch LEDs
The self-test passes if the Fault and Test LEDs on the front of the switch go off after approximately 90 to 150 seconds depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch. If these LEDs stay on longer than 180 seconds or begin blinking, the switch, or a module, or an individual transceiver may have to be replaced as indicated by the LEDs.
See “Diagnosing With the LEDs” on page 5-4 for information on interpreting the LED patterns.
Checking Console Messages
Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the switch is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 8, “Connect a Console to the Switch”, connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a standard VT-100 terminal to the switch’s Console Port and configure it to run at 9600 baud and with the other terminal communication settings shown on
page 2-23. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are
displayed.

Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling
If you think the cable should work but still isn’t working, it may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected to. The twisted-pair cables attached to the 5400R zl2 switches must be compat ible with these standards.To verify your cable is compatible with these stan­dards, use a qualified cable test device.
HP networking also offers a wire testing service. Contact your HP authorized reseller or authorized service provider or your local HP networking sales office for more information.
Testing Switch-to-Device Network Communications
You can perform the following communication tests to verify the network is operating correctly between the switch and any connected device that can respond correctly to the communication test.
Link Test -- a physical layer test that sends IEEE 802.2 test packets to any
device identified by its MAC address
Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test
packets to any device identified by its IP address
-
These tests can be performed through the switch console interface from a terminal connected to the switch or through a telnet connection, or from the switch’s web browser interface. See the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site. See
These tests can also be performed from an SNMP network management station running a program that can manage the switch, for example, IMC.
page 5-1 for details.
Testing End-to-End Network Communications
Both the switch and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end communications test -- a test that sends known data from one network device to another through the switch. For example, if you have two PCs on the network that have LAN adapters between which you can run a link-level test or Ping test through the switch, you can use this test to verify the entire communication path between the two PCs is functioning correctly. See your LAN adapter documentation for more information on running the a link test or Ping test.

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration
As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momen tarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting an IP address, if one is configured.
Note This process removes all switch configuration changes that you have made
from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of VLANs, spanning tree, trunks, stacking, meshing, routing, and security. Returning the configuration of these features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may result in network connectivity issues.
If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, you can use the console copy command. See the switch Management and Configura tion Guide which is on the HP networking Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
-
-
You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself or through the switch console.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
1. Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.
2. Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.
3. As soon as the Test LED begins to flash, release the Clear button. The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its
configuration restored to the factory default settings.
To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the erase startup-config command from the console command prompt.
