1 Introducing the 3810M switches

The Aruba 3810M are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking. The 3810M switches also support a field-replaceable Redundant Power Supply and fan tray, Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) technologies, full network management capabilities and a flexible uplink port slot.

In addition, the 3810M switches support the FlexChassis Mesh feature for stacking the switches. When 3810M Stacking Modules (JL084A) are installed in the switches, any combination of up to ten 3810M switches can be stacked together via high-speed backplane cables to form a single extended virtual switch. See Stacking Information and Topologies, and the HPE ArubaOS-Switch Advanced Traffic Management Guide K/KA/KB.16.01 for more stacking information.

These switches are described in this manual:

Management Ports

Console Ports

There are two serial console port options on the switch, an RJ-45 or Micro USB. These ports are used to connect a console to the switch either by using the RJ-45 serial cable supplied with the switch, or a standard Micro USB cable (not supplied). The Micro USB connector has precedence for input, so if both cables are plugged in, the console output is echoed to both the RJ and Micro-USB ports. But, the input is only accepted from the Micro-USB.

For more information on the console connection, see “10. (Optional) Connect a Management

console” (page 44). The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator,

or a VT-100 terminal.

Auxiliary (Aux) Port

An auxiliary port for processing a USB command file or downloading switch software code. This port uses a USB Type A connector, but does not comply with all USB protocols and standards.

Example 1 Example of USER mode behavior

Assume you have a 4-member stack, in a ring topology, with member numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5. Member 1 is the commander and member 3 is rebooting. In USER mode, the members will show the following on their port LEDs:

Looking at any member, you can see that there are 4 members defined in the stack configuration, with member numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 because these are the LEDs that are lit. The port 4 LED is off, indicating that this member number is not defined in the stack.

On all members, Port 1 LED is fast flashing, indicating that member 1 is the commander of the stack. Port 3 LED is on orange, indicating either that 3 is rebooting or not communicating because of an unknown fault.

When looking at member 1, only Port 1 LED is fast flashing green. This indicates that this unit is member 1 and is the commander.

Stacking Notes:

• For 3810M switches that are in a stack, the Mode select button on every switch in the stack controls the LED mode for all the switches in the stack. Using the Mode select button on one switch in the stack changes the LED mode for the entire stack.

• If there is a combination of PoE/PoE+ switches and non-PoE switches in the stack, when any of the Mode select buttons is pressed to put the stack into PoE mode, the non-PoE switches indicate no PoE support by not illuminating any of the Mode indicator LEDs or any of the port LEDs.

• If any of the switches in the stack are configured with the Save Power LED feature, then the default LED Mode for the whole stack becomes the Save Power display (all LED Mode indicator LEDs are off), but only the stack members on which that feature is configured display the other characteristics of that feature (all LEDs Off except for the Power LED).

Reset and Clear Buttons

The Reset and Clear buttons are recessed from the front panel (to protect them from being pushed accidentally) and are accessible through small holes on the top of the front panel. Use pointed objects, such as unbent paper clips, to push them.

The Reset and Clear buttons are used singly or in combination, as follows:

Flex Port Slot and Module Support

The 3810M family of switches features a module slot(s) that allows the user to customize the uplink ports on the switch. Depending on the switch model, the slot supports either 40Gbps or 80Gbps of maximum bandwidth and therefore, not all modules are supported in all slots. See

Switch Module/Support Matrix, for the switch module/support matrix.

NOTE: The unsupported modules are mechanically prevented from installing into unsupported slots.

Table 10 Switch Module/Support Matrix

The switch removes all configuration changes, restores the factory default configuration, and runs self test.

Switch Features

The features of the 3810M switches include:

• Combinations of fixed 10/100/1000-T, HPE SMART RATE and SFP/SFP+ ports, as described under Network Ports.

• Selected switch models feature HPE SMART RATE ports and provide 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps and 10Gbs connectivity. See the appendices for cabling recommendations and requirements.

• All switch models feature either 1 or 2 Flex Port Module slots, that allow configuration with either 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP+ ports, as described in Flex Port Slot and Module Support.

• One module slot is provided in the back of the switches to support a stacking module to provide connectivity to other 3810M switches with stacking modules. See Stacking

Information and Topologies, the HPE ArubaOS-Switch Advanced Traffic Management Guide

K/KA/KB.16.01 for more information about stacking.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE+) operation—Aruba 3810M 24G PoE+ 1-slot Switch (JL073A), Aruba 3810M 48G PoE+ 1-slot Switch (JL074A) and Aruba 3810M 40G 8 HPE Smart Rate PoE+ 1-slot Switch (JL076A) switches are IEEE 802.3at standard compliant and provide up

to 30W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, indoor web cameras, and more. For more information, see the HPE Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, available from http://www.hpe.com/networking/support.

The switches support 802.3af and 802.3at standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for your switch model. PoE is enabled by default. (For instructions, see the 3810M Management and Configuration Guide for your switch at http://www.hpe.com/networking/support.

• The option to have one or two internal power supplies.

A second power supply supports redundant system power and/or redundant/additional PoE power. If one of the internal power supplies fails, the second power supply immediately provides the power necessary to keep the switch running, including PoE+ power on an allocated basis.

If maximum PoE+ power is used on the 48 port PoE+ switch, the second power supply is needed for PoE+ power but there is no PoE power redundancy. However, system power is always maintained. On a power supply failure, the system drops the PoE power on ports based on user priority, to maintain system power. For more information on Power Supplies, see Power Supplies.

• Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled by default—just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.

• Auto MDI/MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports (10/100/1000 and 10GBase-T), meaning that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair cables. Cross-over cables

are not required, although they will also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that an end-node device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X. (See the appendices for recommended or required cabling.)

• Automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 64000-address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).

• Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices—the SFP/SFP+ ports always operate at full duplex.

• Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:

Console interface—A full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal interface for

◦

out-of-band or in-band switch management.

◦ Web browser interface—An easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed

from common web browsers.

◦ IMC—An SNMP-based, graphical network management tool that you can use to manage

your entire network.

• Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.

• Support for up to 4096 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the attached end

nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.

• Support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—for a description, see the 3810M Management and Configuration Guide at http://www.hpe.com/networking/

support.

• Ability to update the switch software. Software updates are routinely available from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

26 Introducing the 3810M switches

• An auxiliary port (USB Type A connector) for processing a USB command file and updating switch software.

• Low power operation:

◦ Ports on a switch or stack member may be set to operate at reduced power.

◦ Port status LEDs may be turned off.

◦ RJ-45 ports will operate at reduced power if the port is not connected (link partner is

not detected).

Switch Features 27

2 Installing the Switch

This chapter shows how to install the switch. The 3810M switches come with an accessory kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, and with rubber feet that can be attached so the switch can be securely located on a horizontal surface.

Summary

1. Prepare the installation site (“ 1. Prepare the Installation Site” (page 31)). Ensure the physical environment is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the switch. See “

Installation Precautions:” (page 31) for some installation precautions.

NOTE: For steps 2 and 3 below, if an 3810M switch is powered on for the first time without a stacking module installed, stacking will be disabled and that will be saved in the switch's running configuration. For more information, see Stacking Information and Topologies.

Installation Procedures 29

2. Verify the switch passes self test ( “ 2. Verify the Switch Boots Correctly” (page 32) ). Plug the switch into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation. When self test is complete, unplug the switch.

3. (Optional) Install the stacking module ( 3. (Optional) Install the Stacking Module).

4. (Optional) Install the Flex Port module (4. Installing the Flex Port Module).

5. Mount the switch ( “5. Mount the Switch” (page 37) ). The Switch can be mounted in the 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.

6. (Optional) Install the stacking cables ( 6. (Optional) Installing the Stacking Cables). If you have installed the module, you can now install up to four stacking cables and connect them to other switches in the desired stacking topology.

7. (Optional) Install or remove SFP transceivers (mini-GBICs) (7. (Optional) Installing

Transceivers). Depending on the switch model purchased and optional Flex Port module

configuration, the switch can support SFP/SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers. Depending on where the switch is mounted, it may be easier to install the transceivers first. All transceiver types can be installed or removed while the switch is powered on.

8. Connect the switch to a power source ( 8. Connect the Switch to a Power Source). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the nearby main power source.

9. (Optional) Install a second power supply ( 9. (Optional) Installing a Second Power

Supply). You may wish to use a second power supply with the switch to provide redundant

power or added PoE+ power.

10. (Optional) Connect a Management console (10. (Optional) Connect a Management

console). You may wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an

IP address so it can be managed using a web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be made easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.

11. Connect the network cables (“ 11. Connect the Network Cables” (page 46)). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
