Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch 4200vl Series”. The console is a full-featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device emulating a VT-100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.

Reset Button

This button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface, and through SNMP network management applications, such as ProCurve Manager.

Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. In this case, the switch must be reset to initialize the new module type. See “Hot Swapping Switch Modules” on page 2-22.

Clear Button

This button is used for the following purposes:

■ Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the

Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.

■ Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the

Reset button in a specific pattern, the Clear button clears any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default configuration to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.

slot for installing optional redundant power supply

Power Connector

The Switch 4200vl Series do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Slot for Redundant Power Supply

A second, load-sharing redundant power supply (ProCurve switch RPS, J4839A) can be installed in the back of the Switch 4200vl Series. To provide true redundancy, this second power supply should be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. 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 this 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.

Installation Procedures

Summary

Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.

1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-6). Make sure the physical environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See page 2-4 for some installation precautions.

2. Install switch modules (page 2-8). The Switch 4200vl Series have two, four or eight universal slots for installing any of the ProCurve Switch vl modules. Depending on where you will install your Series 4200vl Switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so they can also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.

Installing the Switch 4200vl

Series

Note Make sure you use only ProCurve Switch vl Modules in your Switch 4200vl

Series.

3. (Optional) Install second power supply (page 2-10). The Switch 4200vl Series have a slot in the back for installing a second, load-sharing power supply. If you have purchased this supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the switch.

4. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-12). 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.

5. Mount the switch (page 2-14). The Switch 4200vl Series can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface. There are some limitations to the wall mounting orientations that are supported. Please see the installation details for more information.

6. Connect power to the switch (page 2-19). Once the switch is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.

7. Connect the network devices (page 2-19). 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 2-19.

2-3

Page 24

Installing the Switch 4200vl Series

Installation Procedures

Note The 10/100Base-TX ports on the10/100-TX vl Module have the HP Auto

MDI-X feature, and the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the Gig-T vl Module comply with IEEE 802.3ab standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDIX feature. These two features operate the same and allow you to use

straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your twisted-pair network connections.

8. (Optional) Connect a console to the switch (page 2-20). You may wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a web browser or from an SNMP network management station. Configuration changes can be made easily through the switch’s console interface.

At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installation Precautions

Series

Installing the Switch 4200vl

WARNINGS

Follow these precautions when installing the ProCurve Series 4200vl Switch:

■ 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 in any empty switch power

supply slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling.

■ 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.

■ Ensure that for any switch slot into which no module is

installed, the cover plate is installed to cover the slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. For safety, you should never have more than one module slot uncovered at a time while the switch is powered on.

2-4

Page 25

Installation Precautions (continued)

Installation Procedures

Cautions

■ 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. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.

■ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient

temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).

Installing the Switch 4200vl

Series

Installing the Switch 4200vl

Module Installation Notes

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

■ You can install, exchange, or remove modules after the switch has been

powered on. Whenever a module is installed during this process, it is initialized and tested for correct operation. During this process, the switch Self Test LED is on. If you hot swap another module while the switch is initializing and testing the first module, it is possible to cause the first module or the entire switch to be reset. To prevent the modules or switch from being reset when you must hot swap multiple modules, follow these precautions:

• Do not install/remove any modules from the switch while the switch

Self Test LED is lit.

• Before removing or installing any modules, make sure that all

network cables are disconnected from the module.

See “Hot Swapping the Switch Module” on page 2-22.

■ The modules employ “low-force” connectors. Using high force to insert

the modules is not needed and should not be used.

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

until the bulkhead on the module is contacting or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch chassis.

■ Once the module is fully inserted, ensure that you 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.

3. (Optional) Install Second Power Supply

A second, load-sharing redundant power supply (ProCurve Switch gl/xl/vl RPS, J4839A) can be installed in the back of the switch. To provide true redundancy, this second power supply should be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. Then, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run. Each supply provides enough power to operate a fully loaded switch, so even if one fails, the switch will continue to operate normally.

Install the second power supply as shown in the illustration on the next page.

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

Caution The switch power supplies are hot swappable; they can be installed while the

switch is receiving power from the supply in the other slot. But, as indicated by the caution statement on the power supply, the supply must not be connected to AC power before being installed.

Installing the Switch 4200vl

Caution:

Refer to the installation guide for proper power cord selection.

Disconnect AC power from this power supply BEFORE installing or removing

the supply. Otherwise, damage to the equipment may result.

For safety and proper switch cooling, if either of the power supply slots are not being used, make sure to attach the cover plate over the slot. Please see the “Installation Precautions” on page 2-4 for more information.

For installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the power supply.

After you have installed any modules and the optional second power supply, but before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes its self test.

If you have installed a second power supply, repeat these procedures with the second power supply to verify it works correctly also.

1. Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Figure 2-5. Connecting power to the Switch

Note The Switch 4200vl Series do not have a power switch. They are powered on

when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source.

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, please see the “Installation Precautions” on page 2-5.

2. Check the LEDs on the switch and on each of the switch modules. The LED behavior is described on the next page.

If the LED display is different than what is described, especially if the Fault LED stays on for more than approximately 120 seconds or it starts flashing, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for diagnostic help.

When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The entire download, initialization, and self test process can take up to 2 minutes for a fully loaded chassis, depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch.

LED Behavior:

During the self test:

■ Initially, Power and Fault, and all the switch chassis LEDs are on. Then,

after approximately 30 seconds, all the module LEDs go on as the modules receive power and code is downloaded to them, the Fault LED goes off, and the chassis LEDs go off except Power, Self Test, Fan Status, and Power

Status.

Series

■ When the download of code to the modules is completed, the module

LEDs go off. You may see each port LED go on briefly, in sequence, as the port is tested.

■ For the duration of the self test, the Self Test LED stays on.

When the self test completes successfully:

■ The Power LED stays on, and the Status LEDs on the switch chassis stay

on for the devices installed: one for each switch module installed, one for each power supply installed, and one for all the fans.

■ The Fault and Self Test LEDs are off.

■ The port LEDs on the switch modules go into their normal operational

mode:

• If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link LEDs

stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode selected. In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LEDs should flicker showing network activity on the port.

• If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs

will stay off.

Installation Procedures

6. 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 you have installed a redundant power supply module into the switch, it should be connected to a separate AC power source. Then, if there is a power outage from one of the AC sources, the switch will continue to operate by power coming from the other source.

See the ProCurve Switch gl/xl/vl RPS Installation Guide for additional information.

2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-13.

7. 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 Series 4200vl 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.

Condition Diagnostic Tip

Port LED is still off when a cable is connected

Try the following procedures:

• For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.

• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.

• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection: – for all twisted-pair connections, the RJ-45 connectors on the Switch 4200vl Series 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 Telnet, 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.

Installation Procedures

8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch

The Switch 4200vl Series have a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing the following tasks:

■ Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity counters

■ Modify the switch’s configuration

■ Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting

■ Download new software to the switch

■ Add passwords and other security features to control access to the switch

from the console, web browser interface, and network management stations

The console can be accessed through these methods:

■ Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console,

directly to the switch using the serial cable that comes with the Switch 4200vl Series. If the PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, you can use a readily available 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable, or attach a 9-to-25 pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the cable.

Installing the Switch 4200vl

■ 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.

The Switch 4200vl Series can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session through the Console Port and three in-band telnet sessions.

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

■ for Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function,

Arrow, and Ctrl

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

option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter

Keys for Windows” option

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

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 Configuration Guide, for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site.

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

The switch modules can be “hot swapped”, that is installed or replaced while the switch is powered on (see Module Installation Notes on page 2-8). 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

Installing the Switch 4200vl

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.

Changing the Module Type

If you exchange a module with a different type of module though, for example a Gig-T vl Module is installed in place of a 10/100-TX vl 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 reload command from the switch console CLI, or selecting the

Reboot 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.

Figure 2-17. Edge Topology

When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond the edge of the local network, the Switch 4200vl Series are excellent platforms for that expansion. With the flexibility of 2, 4 or 8 slots, the high port count 10/ 100-TX vl Module for local connections, and the availability of Gigabit speeds through the Gig-T vl Module, the Switch 4200vl Series can provide that access beyond the edge for a high number of network users.

In the above illustration, two Switch 4200vl Series are connected to a ProCurve Routing Switch 9308m, which can serve as a campus backbone or core switch. The connections are trunked to provide redundancy and load sharing for higher bandwidth.

Series

The 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connections between the two Switch 4200vl Series and the Routing Switch 9308m is by way of Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs installed in mini-GBIC vl Modules in the two Switch 4200vl Series and Gigabit-LX ports on the Routing Switch 9308m. With the Gigabit-LX connections, the distance between the 4200vl switches and the Routing Switch 9308m can be up to ten kilometers.

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 Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, www.procurve.com.

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’s console interface, to optimize the switch’s performance, to enhance your control of the network traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been 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 for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site.

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

3-1

Page 48

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 for your switch, available on the ProCurve 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:

ProCurve Switch 4208vl#

2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default settings.

Where to Go From Here

The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections, you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station using a tool such as 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 Switch 4200vl Series, see the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site.

To Recover from a Lost Manager Password: If you cannot start a console session at the manager level because of a lost Manager password, you can clear all passwords and user names by getting physical access to the switch and pressing and holding the Clear button for a full second.

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management

With the minimal configuration described in the last section for your Switch 4200vl Series, 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:

ProCurve Switch 4208vl#

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 Series 4200vl 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.

A typical web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.

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.

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

a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new topology is probably at fault.

In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.

With your Switch 4200vl Series, 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 Switch 4200vl Series also support Trunking, which allows multiple network cables to be used for a single network connection without causing a data path loop. See the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, for more information on Spanning Tree and on Trunking.

Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

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

The RJ-45 ports on the Switch 4200vl Series are all configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex):

• if the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will

automatically negotiate both link speed and communication mode

• if the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example 100

Mbps, at half or full duplex, the switch will automatically sense the link speed, but will default to a communication of half duplex

Because the Switch 4200vl Series behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.

Ensure that all devices connected to the Switch 4200vl Series are configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).

If necessary though, you can modify the configuration of the ports on the Switch 4200vl Series 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 Series 4200vl 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 for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, for more information.

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 ProCurve Web site,

Problem Solution

The power supp lies installed in the switch are not plugged into active AC power sources, or the power sup ply may have failed.

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

Diagnosing with the LEDs

Tip

Letter

Problem Solution

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

The switch has experienced a backplane failure during self test.

Because the Power LED is on, the switch is receiving power from one power supply, but the power supply in the slot corresponding to the flashing number may be unplugged from an active AC power source, or may be faulty.

• Verify the power cord for the power supply whose number is flashing is plugged into an active power source and to the switch. Ensure these connections are snug.

• Disconnect the AC power cord from the power supply in the slot corresponding to the flashing number, then try removing and reinstalling the power supply.

Caution: Ensure the AC power cord is disconnected from the supply before re moving and reinstalling the supply.

Reconnect t he power supply to the AC p ower source. If the error indication r eoccurs after the supply is reinstalled, the power supply may be faulty. Call your HPauthorized LAN 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.

If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

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

The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is flashing has experienced a self test or initialization fault.

When the switch is powered on, each network port is tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable, but the rest of the ports on the chassis, which have passed their self test, will continue to operate normally.

To verify the port has failed, try power-cycling the switch. If the port fault indication reoccurs, and the port is one of the fixed ports on the chassis, you will have to replace the switch. In the meantime, all the other fixed ports on the chassis will operate normally.

The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset (through the Reset button on the switch, or the Reboot or Reset options in the console or web browser interface), and when they are hot swapped (installed when the switch is powered on).

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 faul t indication reoccurs, the module may have fail ed. Remove the module from the switch and replace it with another module, or install a slot cover plate. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

Troubleshooting

Diagnosing with the LEDs

Problem Solution

The module-based network port for which the Link LED is flashing has experienced a self test or initialization failure.

The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is flashing is an invalid or unsupported module.

During the modul e self test, described in tip letter G 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.

To verify the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the module. If the port is a mini-GBIC, you can remove and reinstall the mini-GBIC without having to remove the module. The mini-GBICs are tested when they are hot swapped. If the port fault indication reoccurs, and you need to be able to use the port, you will have to replace the mini-GBIC or the module. In the meantime, all the other module ports will operate normally.

Ensure you have installed a vl module in the slot. ProCurve gl and xl modules will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with your ProCurve vl switch. Check to ensure the module has a “vl module” label on it.

If the module does not have a “vl module” label, remove the module from the switch and replace it with a vl module, or re-cover the slot with the cover plate. You can remove and replace the module without having to power down the switch. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get information on supported Switch vl modules. The vl modules that are available as of the printing of this manual are listed on page 1-4.

If the module has a “vl module” label, then the LED pattern indicates that the module is unsupported in the version of software currently running on the switch. As ProCurve introduces new modules for the vl switches 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 latest code can be downloaded from the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com. Download the new code and retest the module by booting the switch with the new software.

The mini-GBIC or SFP installed in the mini-GBIC slot for which the Link LED is flashing is an invalid or unsupported transceiver.

Ensure you have installed a model B or greater ProCurve mini-GBIC or SFP in the slot. Model A mini-GBICs are not supported in the Switch 4200vl Series.

If the mini-GBIC or SFP is a model B or greater, then the LED pattern indicates the transceiver is unsupported in the version of software currently running on the switch. As ProCurve introduces new transceivers for the vl switches you may have to update the switch with new operating code that supports the new transceiver. The documentation that came with the transceiver will indicate which version of the operating code is needed to support the transceiver. The latest code can be downloaded from the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com. Download the new code and retest the transceiver by rebooting the switch with the new software.

Troubleshooting

In the slot corresponding to the letter that is flashing, a module was installed t hat 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 flashing 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 ProCurve Manager.

Diagnosing with the LEDs

Tip

Letter

Problem Solution

The network port for which the Link LED is flashing has been disabled because port security has been configured on the switch and a security violation has been detected on the port.

For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that whenever a security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable the port. When a port is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will be continuously flashed at the fast rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The flashing 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, for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site.

Diagnosing with the LEDs

Problem Solution

The network connection is not working properly.

Try the following procedures:

• For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.

• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.

• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection. – for any of the twisted-pair connections, in the default configuration (Auto),

either a straight-through or a crossover cable can be used and the switch will automatically adjust its operation. See the “HP Auto MDI-X Feature” description on page B-5 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.

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

connected to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device, and that both devices are transmitting correctly.

• For a 1000 Mbps connection, verify the network cabling complies with the IEEE

802.3ab standard. The cable should be installed according to the ANSI/TIA/EIA568-A-5 specifications. Cable testing should comply with the stated limitations for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk, Far-End Crosstalk, Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.

The cable verification must include the patch cables that connect the switch and other end devices to the patch panels in the cabling path.

• Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on

the switch, use telnet, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.

• Verify the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached device. For example, if the switch port is configured as “Auto”, the port on the attached devi ce also MUST be conf igured as “Auto” or ”half-dupl ex”. Depending on the port type, twisted-pair or fiber-optic, if the configurations don’t match, the results could be a very unreliable connection, or no link at all.

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

Proactive Networking

The Switch 4200vl Series have built-in management capabilities that proactively help you manage your network including:

■ finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions

(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topologies)

■ informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages

■ recommending network configuration changes to enhance the

performance of your network

The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can be used to monitor the switch and its network connections, and to help you take advantage of these proactive networking features:

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

See the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, for more information on using these software tools to diagnose and manage your switch.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Testing the Switch by Resetting It

If you believe that 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 front of the switch.

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

or ProCurve Manager.

Power cycling the switch, pressing the Reset button, and the software reset or reboot options all cause the switch to perform its power-on self-test, which almost always will resolve any temporary operational problems. These reset processes also cause any network traffic counters to be reset to zero and cause the System Up Time timer to reset to zero. Neither of these reset procedures causes any changes to the switch configuration. Be sure the latest configuration changes have been saved (with the “write memory” command) before resetting the switch.

Checking the Switch LEDs

The self-test passes if the Fault and Self 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 flashing, the switch, or a module, or an individual mini-GBIC may have to be replaced as indicated by the LEDs.

See “Diagnosing With the LEDs” on page 4-4 for information on interpreting the LED patterns.

Checking Console Messages

Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the switch is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 8, “Connect a Console to the Switch”, connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a standard VT-100 terminal to the switch’s Console Port and configure it to run at 9600 baud and with the other terminal communication settings shown on

page 2-20. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are

displayed.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling

If you think the cable should work but still isn’t working, it may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected to. The twisted-pair cables attached to the Switch 4200vl Series must be compatible with these standards.To verify your cable is compatible with these standards, use a qualified cable test device.

HP also offers a wire testing service. Contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer or your local HP sales office for more information.

Testing Switch-to-Device Network Communications

You can perform the following communication tests to verify the network is operating correctly between the switch and any connected device that can respond correctly to the communication test.

■ Link Test -- a physical layer test that sends IEEE 802.2 test packets to any

device identified by its MAC address

■ Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test

packets to any device identified by its IP address

These tests can be performed through the switch console interface from a terminal connected to the switch or through a telnet connection, or from the switch’s web browser interface. See the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, for more information.

These tests can also be performed from an SNMP network management station running a program that can manage the switch, for example, ProCurve Manager.

Testing End-to-End Network Communications

Both the switch and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end communications test -- a test that sends known data from one network device to another through the switch. For example, if you have two PCs on the network that have LAN adapters between which you can run a link-level test or Ping test through the switch, you can use this test to verify the entire communication path between the two PCs is functioning correctly. See your LAN adapter documentation for more information on running the link test or

Troubleshooting

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting an IP address, if one is configured.

Note This process removes all switch configuration changes that you have made

from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of VLANs, spanning tree, trunks, stacking, routing, and security. Returning the configuration of these features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may result in network connectivity issues.

If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, you can use the console copy command. See the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch, available on the ProCurve Web site, for more information on this command.

You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself or through the switch console.

To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:

1. Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.

2. Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.

3. As soon as the Self Test LED begins to blink, release the Clear button.

The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its configuration restored to the factory default settings.

Troubleshooting

To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the erase startup-config command from the console command prompt. Then reboot so that the factory default startup configuration takes effect.

Switch Ports and Network

Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100Base-TX connections should also work for 1000Base-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most reliable connections you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/ TIA/EIA-568-A-5).

Because of the increased speed provided by 1000Base-T (Gigabit-T), network cable quality is more important than for either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Site cabling that is being used to carry 1000Base-T networking must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). Additionally, unlike the cables for 100Base-TX, the 1000Base-T cables must pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.

When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also comply with the cabling standards.

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs

The HP Auto MDI-X Feature. In the default configuration, “Auto”, the 10/100Base-TX ports on the 10/100-TX vl Modules used in the Switch 4200vl Series automatically detect the type of port on the connected device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port, whichever is appropriate. So for any connection, a straight-through twisted-pair cable can be used -- you no longer have to use crossover cables, although crossover cables can also be used for any of the connections. The Gig-T vl Module supports the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature, which operates the same way.

Switch Ports and Network

Note HP Auto MDI-X was developed by Hewlett-Packard and shared with the IEEE

for the development of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. HP Auto MDI-X and the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MDI-X feature are completely compatible.

If you connect a Series 4200vl Switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the Series 4200vl Switch port automatically operates as an MDI port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a server or PC, which typically have MDI ports, the Series 4200vl Switch port operates as an MDI-X port. In all cases, you can use standard straight through cables.

If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will still be able to automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link correctly to the connected device.

If the port configuration is changed to any of the fixed configurations though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type must be used. In general, for connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable; for connections to MDIX ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a crossover cable.

Other Wiring Rules:

■ All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be

twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must conform to EIA/TIA 568-A or 568-B (not USOC). See the Pin Assignment tables below the cable illustrations later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each pin.

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs

■ For 1000Base-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be

available for data transmission. See “Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements” on page B-2 for more information on 1000Base-T cabling.

■ For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5

100-ohm differential unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twistedpair (STP) cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard.

■ For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use Category 5 100-ohm differen-

tial UTP or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard.

■ For 1000 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better 100-ohm differential UTP

or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard; Category 5e or better is recommended.

Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections

Because of the HP Auto MDI-X operation of the 10/100 ports on the switches, for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches, you can use straight-through cables.

If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/ Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables must be then used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.
