Power Supply

The 8200 zl switches do not have a power switch. The switches are powered on when the power supply is connected to an active AC power source. The 8200 zl switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200240 volts when using the J8712A power supply, between 110-127 and 200-240 volts when using the J9306A power supply, and between only 200-240 volts when using the J8713A power supply. There are no voltage range settings required.

Introducing the HP 8200 zl Switches

Switch Accessories

Load-sharing redundant power supplies can be installed in the back of the 8200 zl switches or they can be installed externally with the external power connectors. 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.

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.

CAUTION:

Refer to the installation guide for proper power cord selection

Disconnect AC power from the power supply BEFORE installing or removing the supply. Otherwise, damage to the equipment may result.

Because the switch can run on a single supply, removing a redundant supply will not interrupt switch operation. However,on the 8212 zl, one power supply will only supply enough power to run the module slots A-F. Slots G-L will not receive any power unless there are at least two power supplies installed.

When power is restored from a second (or more) power supplies, a system reload or interface module reset is required to restore operation to slots G-L. To reset the interface modules, pull each module out about half way and then reseat them. Do this for each module in slots G-L.

Installation Procedures

WARNING To avoid personal injury or product damage, read the safety warnings

on page 2-5 and installation precautions on page 2-6 and follow the rack mounting guidelines on page 2-7. Due to product weight, two or more persons are required to handle and mount the 8212 zl.

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 2-7). 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.

2. Mount the Switch Chassis (page 2-7). The 8200 zl switches are large, heavy chassis. HP networking recommends mounting the empty chassis before populating it with modules or power supplies. It can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface. An optional Rail Mounting Kit (5070-0145) is available for mounting the 8200 zl switches in a cabinet that is suitable for shipping.

3. Install the Switch Modules (page 2-11). The 8200 zl switches have either six or twelve universal slots for installing any of the HP zl Modules. Depending on where you will install your 8200 zl switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so they may also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.

4. Install the Power Supplies (page 2-14). The 8212 zl switch supports four power supplies. The 8206 zl switch supports two power supplies. It may be easier to install the power supplies before mounting the switch. The switch must have at least one power supply to operate some of the modules.

Installing the HP 8200 zl

Switches

5. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test (page 2-17). 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.

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.

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. (Optional) Connect a Power Supply Shelf (page 2-21). Youmay wish to use a Switch zl Power Supply Shelf (J8714A) with your switch. To do so, you must connect the external power supply using the EPS cables supplied with the Power Supply Shelf.

9. Connect the Network Devices (page 2-25). 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 2-25.

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.

10. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch (page 2-27). You may wish to modify the switch’sconfiguration, 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.

Installation Procedures

Installation Precautions

To prevent personal injury, follow these precautions when installing the 8212 zl switch:

WARNINGs

■ Due to product weight, two or more persons are required to handle

and mount the 8212 zl switch. To reduce the weight, remove all modules and power supplies.

■ Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low

as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively 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 Procedures

Installation Precautions (continued)

Cautions

Switches

Installing the HP 8200 zl

■ If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, use only an HP 10000 series rack

and a rail mounting kit (5070-0145) for each switch and ensure the power supplies have been removed before shipping.

■ 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 dedicated 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.

2-6

■ 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.

Module Installation Notes

■ Any of the supported Switch zl Modules can be installed in any of the slots.

■ The modules can be “hot swapped”, installed after the switch is already

powered on, and normally will be immediately operational. But, if you are replacing a module with a different type than what was previously installed in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the module is installed. See “Hot Swapping the Switch Module” on page 2-30.

■ Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into

the slot using the extractor handles, until the bulkhead on the module is contacting the front face of the switch chassis.

■ Once the module is fully inserted, screw in the two retaining screws to

secure the module in place. The screws should be tightened until they are secure, but not overtightened.

■ If you do not use one or more of the slots, ensure the slot cover plate is

still attached over the slot for safe operation and proper switch cooling. For safety, you should not have more than one module slot uncovered at a time.

■ Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are

the same for the 12-slot chassis.

When there are two power supplies installed in the switch and one should fail, the other power supply can keep the switch running with the first six module slots operational. The 8212 zl switch can hold up to four, load-sharing power supplies. Install the second power supply into power slot number 2, as shown in Figure 2-3. Be sure to use the same power supplies in any one switch.

The HP 8206 zl switch has full operation on a single power supply. However, a second, redundant power supply will prevent the switch from losing all operation should the main power supply fail. The 8212 zl can hold up to two, load-sharing power supplies. Be sure to use the same power supply model in any one switch.

The power supply slot covers can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot covers for future use.

To prevent overloading of the building circuits, the second power supply can be connected to a different AC power source than the first power supply. This also helps with redundancy where in the event of one power source failure, the switch will continue to operate.

Installing the HP 8200 zl

Switches

Caution The 8200 zl 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 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 or PoE+ supply capacity minus the largest supply, see chapter 2 and 4 of the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide) loss of all PoE or PoE+ power may result.

To return PoE or 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.

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 redundant 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 2-19.

8. (Optional) Connect a Power Supply Shelf

to the switch

1. Connect the supplied external power supply (EPS) cables to the switch and to the Power Supply Shelf.

2. Tighten the thumb screws on all connectors to prevent any accidental disconnects.

3. Plug the power supply cords into the power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.

The HP ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf (EPS) (J8714A) is an accessory product for the 8200 zl switches. The EPS provides External Powerover-Ethernet (PoE) power for up to two 8200 zl switch products.

The EPS can supply up to 1800 watts (depending upon which power supplies are installed) of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply should fail, or as additional PoE power to be made available to the switch’s PoE ports. For further information regarding the EPS PoE capabilities, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation

Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started Guide, which are on the HP networking Web site at www.hp.com/networking/

supported, and could cause loss of PoE power to all network devices connected to the switch. The Power Supply Shelf must be powered down before disconnecting the EPS (PoE power) cable, if power is flowing. Only the power supply to be disconnected must be powered down. The EPS cable may be connected at any time.

Operating Characteristics of the EPS (J8714A)

The Power Supply Shelf has two EPS Ports. The EPS can provide a maximum of up to 900 watts of PoE power to each of the two EPS ports depending on which power supply is used. It is important to understand the PoE power requirements of the 8200 zl switches because if the PoE power is not planned and implemented correctly the end devices connected to the switch ports may not receive power if an internal switch PoE power supply should fail. For further information regarding the Power Supply Shelf PoE capabilities, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation

Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started Guide, which is on the HP networking Web site.

9. Connect the Network Devices

The type of network connections you will need to use depends on the types of switch modules you have installed in your 8200 zl 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.

Switches

Installing the HP 8200 zl

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 8200 zl switch 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 ProCurve Manager 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 a Console to the Switch

The 8200 zl switch has 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 8200 zl switch. 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 straightthrough 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.

Installing the HP 8200 zl

Switches

The 8200 zl switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session through the Console Port and five in-band sessions (TELNET or SSH).

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)

■ 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to None

■ forWindows Terminalprogram,also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function,

Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option

■ for the Hilgrave HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”

option for the “Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys act as” parameter

Telnet Console Access

To access the switch through a telnet session, using an Ethernet port not the Console port, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is reachable from the telnet workstation (for example by using a Ping command to the switch’s IP address)

2. Start the telnet program and connect to the switch’s IP address.

3. The copyright page and the message “Press any key to continue” will display. Press a key, and the switch console CLI prompt will display.

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.

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

2-30

The switch modules can be “hot swapped” (except for the System Support Module and the Management Module (unless there are two Management Modules in the same chassis, they are not hot swappable), that is installed or replaced while the switch is powered on (See Module Installation Notes on

page 2-11). The procedures 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.

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 previously installed (since the last switch reboot), the replaced or new module is immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.

Installing the HP 8200 zl Switches

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

Changing the Module Type

If you exchange a module with a different type of module though, for example a 10/100/1000-T zl Module is installed in place of a 4 port 10G X2 Module that was in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the new module is installed so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.

You can reboot the switch by any of the following methods:

■ Pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch.

■ Unplugging and plugging in the power cord (power cycle). If two power

supplies are installed, both power cords would have to be unplugged.

■ Issuing the boot command from the switch console CLI, or selecting the

boot Switch option from the switch console menu, the web browser

interface, or ProCurve Manager.

Until the switch is rebooted, the module will not operate and the Module Status LED for the affected slot will continue to flash.

When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond the edge of the local network, the 8200 zl switches are excellent platforms for that expansion. With the flexibility of 12 slots, the high port count 10/100/1000T zl Modules for local connections, and the availability of 10 Gig speeds on both copper and fiber cables, the 8200 zl switch can provide that access beyond the edge for a high number of network users.

In the above illustration, one 8200 zl switch, which can serve as a campus backbone or core switch, is connected to one 5400 zl switch and one 8200 zl switch at the edge.

The 10 Gig fiber-optic connections between the two Switches is by way of any of the supported HP networking 10 Gig X2 transceivers installed in the transceiver port on the 4 port 10-GbE X2 zl Module.

The illustration shows the 10-gig modules in different slots. However,for best performance, they should be mounted in one of the first six slots in case of a single power supply running the chassis.

Optimizing the 10-GbE Port Configuration

with standard zl modules

The 10-GbE ports on the HP 8200 zl switches are designed to deliver full 10 Gbps wire-speed to each port, where either one or two ports are in a linked state with another device. When three or four 10-GbE ports are in a linked state, when using an X2 (J8708A), CX4 (J8707A), or SFP+ (J9308A) module, the 10-GbE ports support an aggregate bandwidth of 28.8 Gbps across the linked ports.

As illustrated in the figure below, internally, there are two 14.4-Gbps channels between each of the 4 10-GbE ports and the switch fabric.

2-34

Figure 2-18. 10-GbE port architecture showing ports grouped by 14.4 Gbps channel.

When any two 10-GbE ports are in a linked state, each port automatically operates on its own channel, which guarantees 10 Gbps of bandwidth for each port. However, when more than two ports are in a linked state, ports A1 and A4 are statically mapped to share one 14.4 Gbps channel, while ports A2 and A3 are statically mapped to share the other 14.4 Gbps channel.

To summarize:

■ If only one port in a given channel is in a linked state, then that port

operates at wire speed and the other port uses no bandwidth.

■ If both ports in a given channel are in a linked state, then the 14.4 Gbps of

bandwidth is balanced fairly between the two ports.

Installing the HP 8200 zl Switches

Example Network Topologies

For example, in an application where three ports are needed and it is important to ensure that port 1 always has a full 10 Gbps available, the connection choices shown in the next figure would be used.

Installing the HP 8200 zl

Switches

Figure 2-19. Guaranteeing 10 Gbps on a specific port.

Optimizing the 10-GbE Port Configuration

with version 2 zl modules

The 10-GbE module (J9538A) delivers additional performance for zl switches. There is an increase in channel throughput and port density compared to the HP 4-Port 10-GbE CX4 zl Module (J8708A) and HP 4-Port 10-GbE X2 zl Module (J8707A).

The 8200 zl has a fabric design that allows for optimal performance with 10-GbE v2 zl modules. When compared to the first generation zl modules, the bandwidth channels have been improved to a maximum capacity of 23.4 Gbps per channel, as opposed to 14.4 Gbps channels for the standard zl modules. An eight port 10-GbE module has two 23.4 Gbps channels, for an aggregate of

46.8 Gbps of channel bandwidth. There is a fixed assignment between ports

and channel bandwidth. For an eight port 10-GbE modules, Each 23.4 Gbps channel is allocated to 4 10-GbE ports.

2-35

Installing the HP 8200 zl Switches

Example Network Topologies

The channel assignment is as follows:

Interfaces 1,4, 6, and 8 are assigned to channel 1. Interfaces 2, 3, 5, and 7 are assigned to channel 2. This is demonstrated in figure 2-19.

For wire rate connectivity, do not connect more than 2 10-GbE ports to a channel. In the diagram, it is possible to connect ports 1-4 for wire rate connectivity because the first channel will have ports 1 and 4 connected, while the second channel will use ports 2 and 3. If ports 1, 4, and 6 are connected, but other ports are unused, the three ports will share up to 23.4 Gbps of bandwidth. If ports 1, 4, 6, and 8 are connected, the ports will share 23.4 Gbps of bandwidth between the four ports. The HP 8200 zl can support up to 4 wire rate interfaces on an 8 port 10-GbE module (J9538A).

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 management tool, ProCurve Manager, please see the HP ProCurve Management and Configuration Guide which is on the HP Web site.

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.

Getting Started With Switch

Configuration

Many other features can be configured through the switch’sconsole 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 configured 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 ProCurve Manager. 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 Web site.

For more information on IP addressing, refer to “IP Configuration” in the Management and Configuration Guide.

3-1

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

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 Web site.

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 8200zl#

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. Your screen may vary slightly.

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 ProCurve Manager.

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 8200zl switches, see the HP Management and Configuration Guide at

www.hp.com/networking/support.

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.

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management

With your 8200 zl switch, 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):

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 8200 zl 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.

Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module (J9051A)

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module (J9051A)

Before beginning the configuration, backup the current configuration of the switch.

The zl switch software must be updated to a version (K.12.xx) that supports the module. Visit www.hp.com/networking/support to obtain a supported version; to verify module support, refer to the version’s Release Notes.

The ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module (J9051A) and the ProCurve Redundant Wireless Services zl Module (J9052A) must be running software version WT.01.xx or later.

Note: The term ‘module’ is used in this section to refer to both the ProCurve Wireless

Edge Services zl Module (J9051A) and the ProCurve Redundant Wireless Services zl Module (J9052A).

There are four module configuration tasks required:

■ configuring an IP address for the module

■ configuring VLANs on the zl switch

■ determining a module configuration backup process

■ configuring wireless LAN services

Getting Started With Switch

Configuration

Configuring an IP Address for the Module

By default, the module uses DHCP to get an IP address. The zl switch CLI has a command context, the wireless-services context, for configuring and managing a module.

Note ‘HP’ is used here as a generic prompt for all zl switches.

■ To identify the slot in the zl switch where the module is installed, enter

the following command:

HP# show modules

■ To show the module’s IP address, enter the following command to access

the module’s wireless-services CLI context for the module: HP# wireless-services <slot-id>

where <slot-id> is the slot in the zl switch where the module is installed.

3-7

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module (J9051A)

■ To display the module’s IP address, enter:

HP (wireless-services-id)# show ip interfaces

The following example enters the wireless-services context of a module installed in Slot B of a zl switch and then displays the IP address assigned by DHCP to the module:

HP# wireless-services b HP(wireless-services-B)#show ip interface Interface IP-Address/Mask Status Protocol vlan1 10.35.12.24(DHCP) up up HP(wireless-services-B)#

If no DHCP service is available or if the administrator wishes to manually set the Wireless Edge Services zl Module IP Address, it can be specified through the CLI. From the wireless-services context, enter the config context and use the interface vlan1 command to configure the vlan1 interface. Use the following command to set the IP address:

HP(wireless-services-<slot-id>)(config-if)# ip address <IP>

where <slot-id> is the slot in the zl switch where the module is installed.

<IP> is the IP address in CIDR notation (/mask bit number), or

dhcp which will use DHCP to obtain an IP address.

Configuration

Getting Started With Switch

3-8

In the following example, the CLI commands set the module’s IP address to

10.245.22.14 with a 21-bit subnet mask.

HP(wireless-services-B)#configure HP(wireless-services-B)(config)#interface vlan1 HP(wireless-services-B)(config-if)#ip address 10.245.22.14/21 HP(wireless-services-B)(config-if)#show ip interface Interface IP-Address/Mask Status Protocol vlan1 10.245.22.14/21 up up

HP(wireless-services-B)(config-if)#

If necessary,use the following command from the wireless-services andconfig contexts to set or change the default gateway:

HP(wireless-services-B)(config)#ip default-gateway <ip-addr>

where <ip-addr> is the numeric IP address of the default gateway, for

example 10.1.2.1.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Configuring VLANs on the zl Switch

In a wireless services-enabled zl switch, the Wireless Edge Services zl Module and the Redundant Wireless Services zl Module use ports on the switch to pass wired and wireless traffic to and from the network. An uplink VLAN, containing the module’s uplink port, communicates with the wired side of the network; downlink radio port VLANs, containing the module’s downlink port, communicate with the wireless side of the network.

See the Wireless Edge Services zl Module Supplement to the ProCurve zl Switch Management and Configuration Guide for detailed information to set up and configure VLANs on the zl switch for module communications. This manual is available at www.hp.com/networking/support.

Determining a Module Configuration Backup Process

The module’sconfiguration files are stored on the module, not on the zl switch, unlike other zl modules. An external FTP or TFTP server must be used to back up and restore a module’s complete configuration.

The switch does save a small subset of the module’s configuration that allows the switch to locate the full configuration file on the external FTP or TFTP server and to validate it using a checksum. The stored subset of a module’s configuration file appears in a show running-config or show config command as uneditable text.

Configuring Wireless LAN Services

To configure wireless LAN services on a wireless services-enabled zl switch, use one of the following management interfaces for the module:

■ Web browser interface — Accessed through a Web browser, this

intuitive interface provides comprehensive information to help you manage and monitor your company’s wireless services. The menus and online help guide you through configuration steps. See the

ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Modules Management and Configuration Guide for information on using the Web browser

interface to configure and manage a module. To run the Webbrowser interface for the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services

zl Module, your workstation must be running Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If your workstation is not running the JVM and you attempt to open the module’sWeb browser interface, the workstation will automatically try to access the Internet and download the JVM.

■ Command line interface (CLI) — Available through a serial, Telnet,or

Secure Shell (SSH) session to the zl switch, the wireless-services context, accessed from the zl switch’s CLI config context, provides a complete set of commands to configure, manage, and troubleshoot your wireless services.

Replacing Components

This chapter shows you how to remove and install the following components:

■ Power supplies (see page 4-2)

■ Fan tray (see page 4-5)

■ Management module (see page 4-6)

■ Management module Flash Disk (see page 4-8)

■ Replacing the Services zl Module Compact Flash Card (see page 4-9)

■ Replacing the Services zl Module Disk Drive (see page 4-10)

For a complete list of parts and part numbers, see page 2-1.

Hot Swapping The HP 8200 zl switches support “hot swapping.” Hot swapping is the ability

to replace certain hardware components while the switch is operating, including a fan tray, power supply (if a second power supply is installed), and certain modules.

The System Support module is not hot swappable. The Management module and its components are not hot swappable unless there are two Management modules installed in the switch. The Fabric modules can be hot swapped one at a time.

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 E8200 zl 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.

4-1

Replacing Components

Replacing Power Supplies

If your HP E8200 zl 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.

Caution The 8200 zl 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 power to lower priority ports.

If more than one power supply fails while the switch is at or near maximum operating power, loss of all PoE or PoE+ power may result. That is, the sum of all PoE supply capacity minus the largest supply. (See chapter 2 and 4 of the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide.)

Replacing Components

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 replug it for each power supply one at a time.

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.

Replacing Fan Trays

When a fan fails the Fan Status LED on the switch chassis will blink 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 (within two minutes) after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and switch shutdown (within three minutes).

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.

To replace a fan tray:

1. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws holding the fan tray assembly and pull the fan tray assembly out.

Replacing the Management Module

The Management Modules are designed to be hot-swappable, and can be removed without damage. However, the synchronization of files may be occurring, so to minimize the possibility of corruption between the Management Modules when one is being removed, use the “MM Shutdown” button. Using the “MM Shutdown” button will gracefully shutdown the Management Module, completing any synchronization of files and state information to the second (Standby) Management Module.

Note If both Management Modules are removed from the switch at the same time,

the switch will shutdown.

If there is only one Management Module in the switch, HP networking recommends replacing the Management module, flash disk and battery (on the Management module) during scheduled down time.

To install (or replace) a Management Module:

Replacing Components

1. On the module unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.

2. Using the extractor handles, pull the module out from the slot.

3. Remove the flash disk from the failed module and install it into the replacement module.

4. Remove the battery from the failed module and dispose of properly.

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your 8200 zl switch. Note that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting using the software tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface, and ProCurve Manager, the SNMP-based network management tool. For more information, see the chapter “Troubleshooting” in the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the HP networking Web site at www.hp.com/networking/support.

This chapter describes the following:

■ basic troubleshooting tips (page 5-1)

■ diagnosing with the LEDs (page 5-4)

■ Proactive networking tools (page 5-9)

■ hardware diagnostic tests (page 5-10)

■ restoring the factory default configuration (page 5-13)

■ downloading new code (page 5-14)

■ HP Customer Support Services (page 5-14)

Troubleshooting

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, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T network installation.

5-1

Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Troubleshooting

■ Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have

a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cablelength and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If youhave 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 8200 zl switch, if you wish to build redundant paths between important nodes in your network to provide some fault tolerance, 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 ProCurve Manager.

The 8200 zl switch also supports 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 Web site.

5-2

■ Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.

The RJ-45 ports on the 8200 zl switch are 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 8200 zl switch behaves 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 communications between the switch and the device.

Ensure that all devices connected to the 8200 zl switch are configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Troubleshooting

If necessary though, you can modify the configuration of the ports on the 8200 zl switch to match the configuration of the connected device. Use the switch console, the Web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager to modify the port configuration.

■ Check the port configuration. A port on your 8200 zl 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, www.hp.com/networking/support, in the A-Z index section.

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 HP authorized dealer 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 HP authorized dealer, 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.

Troubleshooting

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 modunes for your HP Switch zl, 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 Switch zl, 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 a known good module, or install the failed module into an empty slot and retest it. If you remove the module always recover the slot with the cover plate. Call your HP authorized dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

In the slot corresponding to the letter that is blinking, a module was installed that is a different type than the previously installed module, and the switch has not yet been reset.

When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slots, if you install a different module type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you must reset the switch so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type. The blinking LED informs you that this change of module types has occurred. The module will not work properly until the switch is reset.

You can reset the switch by any of these methods:

• pressing the Reset button.

• power cycling the switch.

• selecting the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface, or

Problem Solution

The network port for which the Link LED is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization failure.

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 mini-GBIC zl 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 mini-GBIC zl 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.

A fault condition has been detected on the power supply installed in the slot corresponding to the blinking number.

One or more of the switch cooling fans may have failed.

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.

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 HP authorized dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

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, the fan tray should be replaced. Contact your HP authorized dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

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 Web site.

Troubleshooting

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),

– for fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the switch is

• 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 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.

• 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 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.

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 page B-7 for more information.

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.

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

Troubleshooting

Proactive networking

The 8200 zl switch has 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:

■ ProCurve Manager - 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 or Netscape Communicator.

■ 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’sconsole port. The cable to make that connection is provided with your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a telnet connection.

Troubleshooting

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 Web site.

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:

■ Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different

type of module, the switch must be reset after the new module is installed so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.

the module will not operate, the Module Status LED (orange) for the slot will blink, the chassis fault LED will blink simultaneously,and all the LEDs on the module will stay on continuously.

■ 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.)

5-10

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.

Methods of Resetting the Switch

You can reset the switch by any of these methods:

■ pressing the Reset button. On the 8212 zl or 8206 zl switch, this is the

System Reset button on the System Support module.

■ power cycling the switch (if both power supplies are being used, you will

have to disconnect both 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 ProCurve Manager

Testing the Switch by Resetting It

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Troubleshooting

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 Reset button on the System Support module

■ Select the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface,

or ProCurve Manager.

Power cycling the switch, pressing the Reset button on the System Support module, 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.

Troubleshooting

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 2-27. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are

displayed.
