Introduction

The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.

A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the enterprise, and is primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture. The switch implements Fibre Channel technology that provides a bandwidth of 2.125 Gbps, redundant switched data paths, a scalable number of activ e ports, and long transmission distances (up to 35 km).

This chapter describes the switch and attached HP StorageWorks Ha-Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. The chapter specifically discusses:

• Switch management, error-detection and reporting features, serviceability features, zoning, multi-switch fabrics, and specifications.

• The HAFM server and minimum hardware specifications.

• Remote workstation configurations and hardware specifications.

• Maintenance approach.

• Field-replaceable units (FRUs).

• Connectors and indicators.

• Software diagnostic features.

• Tools and test equipment.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–1

Introduction

Edge Switch 2/32 Description

The switch can be installed on a table or desk top, or mounted in an equipment cabinet or in any standard equipment rack.

Multiple switches and the HAFM server communicate on a local area network (LAN) through one or more 10Base-T Ethernet hubs. One or more 24-port Ethernet hubs are optional and can be ordered with the switch. Up to three hubs are daisy-chained as required to provide additional Ethernet connections as more switches (or other HP managed products) are installed on a customer network.

Figure 1–1 illustrates the switch, HAFM server, and Ethernet hub.

HPJ329 4 A

Figure 1–1: Switch, HAFM server, and Ethernet hub

The switch provides dynamic switched connections for servers and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection (OSI) computing envi ronments, and provides data transmission and flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical and Si gnalin g In terface (FC-PH 4.3). Through interswitch links (ISLs), the switch can connect additional switches to form a Fibre Channel multi-switch fabric.

The switch provides connectivity for devices manufactured by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). T o determine if an OEM product can communicate through connections provided by the switch, or if communication restrictions apply, refer to the supporting publications for the product or contact your HP marketing representative.

Features

The following sections describe the features of the Edge Switch 2/32:

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability

The switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features:

• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.

• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, th reshold alert logs, and hardware logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM server.

• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) loopback tests). The FC loopback test applies only when the switch is configured to operate in S/390 mode.

• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM server.

Introduction

• A modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the HAFM server for event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.

• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access is password protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the switch’s internet protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Or to run diagnostics and isolate system problems through a local or remote terminal.

• Redundant FRUs—small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, power supplies, and cooling fans—that are removed or replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link operation.

• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without tools or equipment.

• Concurrent port maintenance—SFPs and fiber-optic cables are removed and attached to ports without interrupting other ports or director operation.

• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or switch operation.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–3

Introduction

• Data collection through the Product Manager application to help isolate system

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) management using th e Fibre

• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 1.10),

NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to the hp StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32.

Zoning

The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other.

problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.

Alliance MIB that runs on the HAFM server. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.

transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC

1213), or a product-specific MIB that run on each switch. Up to 12 authorized

management workstations can be configured through the Product Manager application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate switch operational state changes and failure conditions.

Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port number to which a device is attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to multiple zones.

CAUTION: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the s witch fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port numbers is not.

1–4 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or disabled across all switches in a multi-switch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.

Multi-Switch Fabrics

A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected switches or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect switches (through expansion port (E_Port) connections) to form a multi-switch fabric. The data transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent. Subject to zoning restrictions, devices attached to any interconnected switch can communicate with each other through the fabric.

Switch Management

These options are available for managing the Edge Switch 2/32 through a user interface:

•The Product Manager application installed on an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the HAFM applications. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.

Introduction

• The Embedded Web Server interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through the web server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application and supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.

To launch the Embedded Web Server interfa ce, enter the switches IP address as the internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a user name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on use.

NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is operator. The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or perform other options is administrator. The default password for both user names is password.

• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM and Product Manager functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no

Figure 1–3: Edge Switch 2/32 (Rear View)

SFP Transceivers

A single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through a pluggable small form factor (SFP) transceiver. The SFP provides a duplex LC interface, and can be detached from the switch port for easy replacement. Two fiber-optic transceiver types are available:

• Shortwave laser — Shortwave laser SFPs provide short-distance connections (2 to 500 meters) through 50-micron or 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber.

• Longwave laser — Longwave laser SFPs provide long-distance connections (up to 10 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fiber.

Cooling Fans

Four fans (each a separate FR U) pro vide cooling for the switch power supplies and the control processor (CTP) card, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a single fan fails.

3 2

(2)

Each fan FRU can be replaced while the switch is operating.

Power Supplies

Redundant, load-sharing power supplies step down and rectify facility input power to provide 3.3 volts direct current (VDC), 5 VDC, and 12 VDC to the CTP. The power supplies also provide input filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection. Either power supply can be replaced while the switch is operational.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–7

Introduction

Each power supply has a separate CTP connection to allow for independent A C po wer sources. The power supplies are input-rated at 100 to 230 volts alternating current (VAC).

Power supply requirements are listed in Appendix B.

Connectors and Indicators

Connectors and indicators include the:

• Initial machine load (IML) button.

• Ethernet LAN connector.

• Green power (PWR) and amber system error (ERR) LEDs.

• Green and amber status LEDs associated with FRUs.

• RS-232 maintenance port.

Initial Machine Load Button

When the IML button, as shown in Figure 1–2 is pressed and held for three seconds, the switch performs an IML that takes approximately 30 seconds and resets the:

• Microprocessor and functional logic for the CTP and loads firmware from FLASH memory.

• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the HAFM server to drop momentarily until the connection automatically recovers.

• Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily until the connections automatically recover.

An IML should only be performed if a CTP failure is indicated. Do not IML the switch unless directed to do so by a procedural step or the next level of support. As a precaution, the IML button is flush mounted to protect against accidental activation.

Ethernet LAN Connector

The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair connector, as shown in Figure 1–2 that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the HAFM server or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right LED indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.

1–8 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Power and System Error LEDs

The PWR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2 illuminates when the switch is connected to facility AC power and powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution failure is indicated.

The ERR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2 illuminates when the switch detects an event requiring immediate operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the Product Manager application. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated ERR LED (indicating a failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.

FRU Status LEDs

Amber and green LEDs associated with switch FRUs provide status information as follows:

• Port SFP — Amber and green LEDs to the left of the port, as shown in

Figure 1–2 illuminate, extinguish, or blink to indicate various port states

(operational with active Fibre Channel traf f ic, operat ional b ut not communicating, beaconing, blocked, failed, inactive, or running diagnostics).

Introduction

• Fan — An amber LED at the lower left corner of each fan, as shown in Figure 1–3

illuminates if the fan fails or rotates too slowly.

• Power Supply — A green LED at the upper left corner of each power supply, as

shown in Figure 1–3 illuminates if the power supply is operational and receiving AC power.

Maintenance Port

The rear panel provides a 9-pin RS-232 maintenance port, as shown in Figure 1–3 that provides a connection for a local terminal or dial-in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure switch network addresses.

Software Diagnostic Features

The switch provides the following diagnostic software features that aid in fault isolation and repair of problems:

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–9

Introduction

• FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU status to the HAFM and Product Man ager applications. These applications provide system alerts and logs that display failure and diagnostic information at the HAFM server or a remote workstation communicating with the HAFM server.

• The HAFM Services application that runs as a Windows 2000 service and provides an additional user interface to display operational status.

• The Embedded Web Server interface that provides Internet access to isolate problems for a single switch.

• Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or failures can be transmitted to up to 12 authorized management workstations.

• E-mail messages or call-home reports provide automatic notif ication of significant system events to designated support personnel or administrators.

HAFM Server Description

The HAFM server, as shown in Figure 1–4 is a notebook personal computer (PC) that provides a central point of control for up to 48 LAN-connected directors or Edge Switches.

Figure 1–4: HAFM server

The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in the HP-supplied equipment rack. The HAFM server or Ethernet access to the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface is required to install, configure, and manage the Edge Switch 2/32.

1–10 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Although a configured switch operates normally without HAFM server intervention, an attached server should operate at all times to monitor switch operation, log events and configuration changes, and report failures.

The HAFM server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps LAN connection, provided by an internal Ethernet adapter card. This LAN port attaches to the customer’s public intranet to allo w access from remote user workstations. An optional Ethernet adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) slot to provide a connection to a private LAN segment for dedicated director communication.

Ethernet Hub

The HAFM server and managed directors connect through a rack-mounted 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hub. Figure 1–5 illustrates the optional 12-port hub.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 2-5

Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

Task 3: Configure Network Information

The edge switch 2/32 is delivered with the following default network addresses:

• MAC address—the media access control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MA C add ress is unique for each switch, and should not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a hexadecimal pair.

NOTE: References to the CTP in this manual are to the control processor logic contained on the switch motherboard. If an event occurs that indicates the CTP as faulty, replacement of the switch assembly is required.

• IP address—the factory preset default internet proto col (IP) address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.

If Reset Configuration is selected from the Product Manager application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.

If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch (and the HAFM server) must have a unique IP address. One switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the remaining switches must be changed.

NOTE: If you have enabled additional port function with the HP Flexport Feature since the switch shipped from the factory, resetting the configuration will return this feature to the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key dialog box (see “Task 9: Configu r e Feature Key (Optional)” on page 2–15).

WARNING: This operation resets all configuration including any optional features that have been installed. You will need to re-enter your feature key to enable all optional features after resetting the configuration parameters.

• Subnet mask—the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers, the address may require change.

• Gateway address—the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address does not require change. If the switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate intranet’s local router.

Domain ID

The domain identification is a value between 1 and 31 that provides a unique identification for the switch in a fabric. An Edge Switch cannot contain the same domain ID as another switch or their E_Ports will segment when they try to join.

In the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, a field is provided to enter a preferred domain ID and a check box is provided to enable this ID as an insistent domain ID.

2-26 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

Preferred

NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the s witch offline . Choose Set Online State from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click the Set Offline button. Be sure to set the switch back online after you change this value.

Use this field to set the a unique domain ID for the switch. The default value is 1. Set a value between 1 and 31. When a switch comes online with a preferred ID, it requests an ID from the fabric’s principal switch (indicating its preferred value as part of the request). If the requested domain ID is not allocated to the fabric, the domain ID is assigned to the requesting switch. If the requested domain ID is already allocated, an unused domain ID is assigned. Note that you must set the switch offline before you can change to the preferred domain ID.

The preferred domain ID must be unique for each director and switch in a fabric. If two switches or directors have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing the fabric to segment.

For more information on domain ID, refer to the section on domain ID assignment for multiswitch fabrics in the HP StorageWorks Products in a SAN Environment — Planning Manual for details.

Insistent

This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity feature is installed. Click the check box to remove or add a check mark. The default state is disabled (no check mark).

When a check mark displays, the dom ai n ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field will become the active domain identification when the fabric initializes. See the following notes:

• This option is required if High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is enabled.

• If you enable Insistent Domain while the switch or director is online, the Preferred

Domain ID will change to the current active domain ID if the IDs are different.

CAUTION: If a switch with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both switches' E_Ports will segment when they try to join.

Rerouting Delay

Placing a check mark in the check box to the left of the Rerouting Delay option enables rerouting delay. This option is only applicable if the configured switch is in a multiswitch fabric. The default state is disabled.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 2-27

Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

Enabling the rerouting delay ensures that frames are delivered in order through the fabric to their destination. If there is a change to the fabric topology that creates a new path (for example, a new switch is added to the fabric), frames may be routed ov er this new path if its hop count is less than a previous path with a minimum hop count. This may result in frames being delivered to a destination out of order since frames sent over the new, shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route ov er the older path.

If rerouting delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the Configure F a bric Parameters dialog box. This delay allows frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new frames begin traversing the new path.

NOTE: This option is required if High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is enabled.

Domain RSCNs

Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBA) and storage devices. As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a port. Consult with your HBA and storage device vendor to determine if enabling Domain RSCNs will cause problems with your HBA or storage products. Note that this option is required if High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is enabled.

Operating Mode

NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the switch offline. Select Set Online State from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click the Set Offline button. Be sure to set the switch back online after you change this value.

Click either the S/390 or Open Systems radio buttons:

• If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be S/390. The operating mode cannot be changed to Open Systems with the FICON Management Server feature enabled. Typically, S/390 mode is used when attaching an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the switch and implementing inband switch management through a Fib r e Connection (FICON) channel.

2-28 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

•Use Open Systems mode for all other (non-FICON) Fibre Chan nel environments.

Configure Fabric Operating Parameters

Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch.

1. The switch must be offline to change parameters in this dialog box. If it is not and

you activate values, a dialog box displays prompting you to set the unit offline.

CAUTION: Setting the switch offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.

NOTE: Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults. The

only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the switch will participate in a multiswitch fabric.

3. Use information under “Fabri c Parameters” to change settings as required for parameters in this dialog box.

4. After you change settings, click the Activate button.

5. Back up the configuration data when you are finished configuring the switch.

Fabric Parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric.

BB_Credit

Configure the switch to support buf fer to buf fer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 through 60. This is the value used for all ports, ex cept those configured for extended distance buffering (10-100 km). The default value is 16. For a description of the buffer-to-buffer credit, refer to the industry specification, F ibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface.

2-30 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

R_A_TOV

Configure resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments. This variable works with the error detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) variable to control the switch’s behavior when an error condition occurs. Resources are allocated to a circuit when errors are detected and are not released for reuse until the time set by the R_A_TOV value expires. The default value is 100 tenths (10 seconds). Set a value between 10 tenths and 1200 tenths (1 through 120 seconds).

NOTE: Set the same value f or R_A_TOV on all directors and switches in a multiswitch fabric. If the value is not the same on all units, the fabric segments. Also , the value f or R_A_T OV must be greater than the value configured for E_D_TOV.

E_D_TOV

Adjust the E_D_TOV in tenth-of-a-second increments. An error condition occurs when an expected response is not received within the time limit set by this value. The default value is 20 tenths (2 seconds). Set a v alue between 2 tenths through 600 tenths (.2 through 60 seconds).

NOTE: Set the same value f o r E_D_TOV on all switches and directors in a multiswitch fabric. If the value is not the same, the fabric segments.

Switch Priority

Setting this value determines the principal switch for the multiswitch fabric. Choose

Principal (highest priority), Default, or Never Principal (lowest priority) from the Switch Priority drop-down list.

Setting these priority values determines the principal switch selected for the multiswitch fabric. For example, if you hav e three switches in the fabric and set one as Principal, one as Default, and one as Never Principal, the unit set to Principal becomes the principal switch in the fabric.

If all switches are set to Principal or Default, the switch with the highest priority and the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch. Following are some examples of principal switch selection when switches have these settings:

• If you have three switches and set all to Default, the switch with the lo west WWN

becomes the principal switch.

• If you have three switches and set two to Principal and one to Default, the switch

with the Principal setting that has the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 2-31

Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

• If you have three switches and set tw o to Default and one to Nev er Principal, the switch with the Default setting and the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.

At least one switch in a multiswitch fabric needs to be set as Principal or Default. If all of the switches are set to Never Principal, all of the interswitch links (ISLs) will segment. If all but one switch is set to Never Principal and the switch that was principal goes offline, then all of the other ISLs will segment.

NOTE: We recommend you lea ve the switch priority setting as Default. If you are considering setting this value to something other than default, refer to the section on principal switch selection for multiswitch fabrics in the HP StorageWorks Products in a SAN Environment — Planning Manual for details.

In, for example, the audit log, you may notice that the Principal setting maps to a number code of 1, Default maps to a number code of 254, and Nev er P rincip al maps to a number code of 255. The number codes of 2 — 253 are not currently in use.

Interop Mode

Select the following option:

• Open Fabric 1.0. Select this mode if the fabric contains HP directors and switches, as well as other open-fabric compliant switches. Select this mode for managing heterogeneous fabrics.

Configure Threshold Alerts

A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch po rts or port types, (E_Ports or F_Ports).

You are notified of a threshold alert in four ways:

• An attention indicator (yellow triangl e) that displays on the port in the Hardware View page.

• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays in the Alert column of the Port List View page.

• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port Properties dialog box.

• Detailed threshold alert data is recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.

Choose Configure > Threshold Alerts to configure the following:

• Name for the alert.

• Type of threshold for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).

• Active or inactive state of the alert.

• Threshold criteria: — Percent traffic capacity utilized. This is the percent of the port’s throughput

capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting constitutes the threshold value. For example the v alue of 50 means that the port’s threshold is reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.

— Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification can

occur.

— The time that the percentage of throughput capacity (% utilization) must exist

during the set time interval before an alert generates.

• Ports for which you are configuring threshold alerts.

You can configure up to 16 alerts, and any number of alerts can be active at one time.

Task 18: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet Hub (Optional)

The HAFM server and one or more switches connect through an Ethernet hub installed on a 10/100 Mbps LAN segment. One hub port is required to connect the HAFM server, and one hub port is required to connect each switch. A combination of up to 48 HP products can be configured and managed by a single HAFM server, therefore multiple hubs may be required to provide sufficient port connections. These hubs must be connected in accordance with the hub manufacturer’s specifications. HP recommends using a star or hub-and-spoke topology when connecting multiple hubs. The HAFM server must be connected to the center hub, and there should never be more than two hubs between the HAFM server and any switch. Refer to the hub manufacturer’s documentation for more detailed information.

For instructions to unpack and inspect one or more Ethernet hubs, and install the hubs in a desktop or rack-mount configuration, refer to the appropriate Ethernet hub documentation.
