Introducing the ProCurve Series 8100fl Switch

The ProCurve Series 8100fl switches are multiport modular switches that perform non-blocking, wire-speed, layer-2 switching, layer-3 routing, and layer-4 application switching. They are designed to interconnect LAN networks built upon the ProCurve Adaptive EDGE Architecture, as an alternative to traditional core routing switches. These interconnect switches provide high bandwidth, high availability, and high performance connectivity between Intelligent EDGE devices, supporting applications that require security and convergence decisions at the edge of your network.

The ProCurve Series 8100fl switches include the Switch 8108fl and the Switch 8116fl. This chapter describes both switches including:

Appendix A,

Introducing the ProCurve Series 8100fl Switch

Front of the Switch

Switch Chassis

The Switch 8108fl is an 8-slot chassis; the Switch 8118fl is a 16-slot chassis.

Console Ports

The top of the chassis contains two RJ-45 serial console ports—one for Management Module A (primary management module), and one for Management Module B (secondary management module). These ports are used to directly connect a management console to the switch by using the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter and straight-through cable supplied with the switch. You can use the console port only for out-of-band management. It cannot be used for a Telnet connection. For network connections, use the 10/100 Base-T port on the Management module, as shown in

Slot Covers

All ProCurve Switch 8100fl slots must have an installed module or be covered by a slot cover any time the switch is powered on. Slot covers are included in your shipment as needed, and are half-height size, except for the full-height slot cover for the 8116fl switch fabric module. Half-height slot covers have different widths—switch fabric modules are wider than interface modules.

Caution Failure to cover empty slots while the system is running degrades the forced

air cooling system and can cause the system to overheat.

Table 1-1 on page 1-6.

Introducing the ProCurve

Series 8100fl Switch

Backplane

The backplane is installed at the factory and occupies the rear of the chassis. It is designed to be completely passive to ensure high availability of the system. The power supplies use the backplane to supply power to the system. Interface modules and the primary management module use the backplane to exchange control information and packets.

Modules

Each module is shipped separately from the chassis. The different types of supported modules are described in the following sections. As of this printing, the following modules are supported in ProCurve 8100fl switches:

■ ProCurve 8108fl Redundant Switch Fabric Module (J8729A)

type of module into its appropriate slot.

Switch Fabric Module

Each ProCurve Switch 8100fl requires one switch fabric module to process traffic for any interface module. A second switch fabric module can be installed for redundancy.

Switch fabric modules (half-height module for Switch 8108fl; full-height module for Switch 8116fl) are installed in slots labelled FM. When installing two modules, install the primary module in slot FM-A; install the secondary module in slot FM-B. (When installing a single switch fabric module, you can install the module in either slot.)

Note The 8108fl switch fabric module and 8116fl switch fabric module are not

interchangeable. You can install the half-height module only in the 8108fl Switch—the 8116fl Switch requires a full-height switch fabric module.

Management Module

A ProCurve Switch 8100fl requires at least one primary management module to operate. You can install a second management module for redundancy.

Management modules (thicker, half-height modules) are installed in slots labelled MM. You must install the primary management module in slot MM-A; you can install a second redundant management module in slot MM-B.

The management module maintains persistent images of all software that runs on the system. The primary non-volatile storage medium is a Compact Flash card located on the module—this is a separate memory module for storing run-time images and tables. The management module is the main processing unit of the ProCurve Switch 8100fl chassis. It contains system-wide bridging and routing tables, and runs the main control protocols. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2 lookup tables on individual interface modules is sent to the management module to be learned. After processing traffic, the

1-4

management module updates the L2 tables on the interface modules that received the traffic thus ensuring system-wide coordination and visibility. In this way, the interface modules learn how to forward traffic.

Interface Modules and Accessories

Interface modules (narrow, half-height modules) provide network connectivity options in addition to bridging and routing functionality. The Switch 8108fl has 8 slots (numbered 1-8) for interface modules; the Switch 8116fl has 16 slots (numbered 1-16) for interface modules. The following interface modules are supported in ProCurve 8100fl switches:

Power Supply

The ProCurve Switch fl Redundant Power Supply (J8732A) operates between 100–240 VAC. Each component (management module, interface module, and so on) regulates its own power needs. The Switch 8108fl requires one power supply to operate a fully-populated chassis—an optional second power supply provides for redundancy. For the Switch 8116fl, two power supplies are required to operate a fully-populated chassis—an optional third power supply provides for redundancy.

and installation precautions on guidelines on page 2-9. Never attempt to mount a ProCurve Switch 8100fl unaided.

Summary

Follow these steps to install your switch. Details for each of the steps highlighted below are provided in the rest of the chapter.

1. Preparing the installation site (page 2-7). Make sure that 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 establishing a good location for the switch.

2. Mounting the chassis (page 2-9). A ProCurve Switch 8100fl is mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. To avoid personal injury, reduce the weight of the chassis by removing all hardware components, (such as all module blanks, power supplies, fan trays, and so on) from the chassis before moving and installing it in a rack.
