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:

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:

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

Page 15

Front of the Switch

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:

■ ProCurve Switch fl 1-Port 10-GbE LR Interface Module (J8733A)*

■ ProCurve Switch fl 10-Port 100/1000-T Interface Module (J8734A)

■ ProCurve Switch fl 10-Port Mini-GBIC Interface Module (J8735A) that

uses and supports the following mini-GBICs:

• ProCurve Gigabit-SX LC mini-GBIC (J4858B)

• ProCurve Gigabit-LX LC mini-GBIC (J4859B)

• ProCurve Gigabit-LH LC mini-GBIC (J4860B)

• ProCurve Gigabit 1000Base-T mini-GBIC (J8177B)

■ ProCurve Switch fl 1-Port X2 10GbE Module (J8736A)**

■ ProCurve Switch fl 2-Port X2 10GbE Module (J8737A) that uses and

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.

Installation Procedures

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

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.

page 2-5 and follow the rack mounting

2-4

3. Installing fan trays (page 2-15). ProCurve 8100fl switches come with two fan trays to provide cooling for the switch. The fan tray assembly is located above the power supply, just below the vertical module slots.

4. Installing modules (page 2-16). There are three types of modules in each ProCurve Switch 8100fl: fabric, management, and interface modules.

You must install at least one switch fabric module and one management module to operate the switch. In addition, the interface modules provide various network connectivity options (see the ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installation Guide for details):

• The X2 10-GbE modules (J8736A and J8737A) require that you install

a transceiver (see

• The 10-Port mini-GBIC module requires that you install mini-GBICs

(see

page 4-15).

5. Installing power supplies (page 2-24). There are three power supply slots in the Switch 8108fl and Switch 8116fl. The Switch 8108fl is shipped with one AC power supply; the Switch 8116fl is shipped with two AC power supplies.

page 4-9).

Installation Procedures

6. Connecting a console to the switch (page 2-22). Use the switch’s console interface to modify the switch’s configuration settings. For information about to complete the software configuration for the switch, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM that comes with your switch.

7. Verifying installation (page 2-29). This is a simple process of plugging the switch into a power source and checking that the LED behavior on the switch’s front panel displays normal operation.

8. Connecting network devices (page 2-31). Using the appropriate connectors and cables, connect other network devices to the switch ports.

Installation Guidelines

When you install the ProCurve Switch 8100fl, follow these instructions to prevent personal injury:

Installing the ProCurve

Switch 8100fl

W ARNING

■ Never attempt to mount a chassis into a rack by yourself.

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

possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above. The rack or cabinet must be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.

■ High leakage current can be caused by multiple power supplies.

For this reason, ensure that each power supply is connected to a separate branch circuit with a proper earth connection before you connect it. The grounding screws are located on the back side of the switch chassis.

■ Never operate the switch with exposed power supply or module

slots. Blank slot covers must be installed in any empty slots to ensure safe operation and proper cooling. You can leave the PC card slot in the management module exposed, but do not insert any objects other than the appropriate PC flash RAM card into the PC card slot.

■ Never operate the switch if the chassis becomes wet or if the area

in which the chassis is installed is wet.

■ 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.

■ The fiber optic connectors on the ProCurve Switch 8100fl are

Type

1 lasers. Avoid looking directly into connected optical

connectors or optical fiber cables.

■ Use the power cables supplied with the switch to connect it to the power

source.

If your installation requires a different power cable than the one supplied with the switch and power supply, be sure the cable is adequately sized for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cable displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cables in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cable can be used safely with the switch and power supply.

■ ProCurve 8100fl switches have no power on-and-off switch. To power on

and off the switch, connect and disconnect the power supply cable or remove all power supplies. Ensure that the socket outlet is located/ installed near the equipment and is easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect all power supply cables before servicing equipment.

■ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-

current protection. Each power cable should be connected to separate branch circuits. 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 40°C (104°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.

■ 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.

Installation Procedures

2. Mounting the Switch

ProCurve 8100fl switches are designed to be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack.

If necessary, remove all blanks used to cover the slots for interface module, management modules, switch fabric modules, fan trays, and power supplies. Follow ESD procedures when handling these components.

WARNING A fully loaded 8108fl Switch weighs approximately 220 lb (100 kg),

and an unloaded chassis weighs approximately 94 lb (43 kg). To avoid personal injury, plan on having at least two people available to help move the unit into place onto the rack. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN MOUNTING THIS SWITCH.

A fully loaded Switch 8116fl weighs approximately 340 lb (154 kg), and an unloaded chassis weighs approximately 137 lb (62 kg). To avoid personal injury, plan on having at least three people available to help move the unit into place onto the rack. THREE OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN MOUNTING THIS SWITCH.

Installing the ProCurve

Switch 8100fl

Cautions Follow these safety precautions before you move the switch:

■ ProCurve Networking recommends that you use a rack shelf (not

provided) to help mount a switch, as described in this section. If you do not have a rack shelf, it is recommended that you use a hand crane or other lifting device to avoid personal injury.

■ Avoid lifting the total weight of the chassis manually. However, if you must

lift the assembly, consider the total weight of the system and calculate at least one person for every 60lb of weight to be lifted. Never lift the unit alone.

■ Once installed, the chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. To

avoid having to move the chassis, ensure that your site has the correct power sources and network connections (for site requirements and guidelines, refer to

page 2-7).

Installation Procedures

3. Installing Fan Trays

Each ProCurve Switch 8100fl chassis is shipped with two fan trays to provide cooling for the modules. Each fan tray assembly is installed below the vertical slots. The fan tray assembly is hot-swappable so you can replace the assembly yourself while the switch is powered on.

Note To ensure that the fan tray assembly can provide adequate cooling, always

provide a minimum of 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of clearance behind the chassis. Adequate ventilation is provided from the front as long as you maintain sufficient clearance to add or remove modules.

To install a fan tray (5069-7936):

1. Align the fan tray guides with its corresponding slot and push in until the fan tray mounting plate contacts the chassis frame.

Fan Tray (one of two)

1. Slide fan tray completely into chassis.

2. Tighten retaining screws to secure.

2. Tighten the two screws on each side of the fan tray housing using a slotted or Phillips screw driver. (Hand tightening the captive screws may not be sufficient to prevent normal fan vibration from allowing the assembly to work loose and become disconnected.)

4. Installing Modules

A ProCurve Switch 8100fl supports three types of modules (shipped separately from the chassis):

■ Switch fabric modules (half-height modules for the Switch 8108fl;

full-height modules for the Switch 8116fl) are installed in the central slots labeled FM. Install the primary module in slot FM-A; install the hot standby module into slot FM-B. (When you install a single switch fabric module, you can use either slot FM-A or FM-B.)

■ Management modules (thicker, half-height modules) are installed in slots

labeled MM.

• If you are installing only one management module, you can install it

in either slot MM-A or MM-B.

• If you are installing two management modules, the primary

management module is the one installed in slot MM-A. The redundant management module is the module installed in slot MM-B.

■ Interface modules (narrow half-height modules) are installed in

numbered slots (1-8 on the Switch 8108fl; 1-16 on the Switch 8116fl).

Be sure to install each type of module in its appropriate slot by referring to the slot number or label, as shown in the following illustration:

2-16

Numbered slots for interface modules

Installation Procedures

Installation To avoid damaging modules and the backplane, be sure to inse rt the right type Precautions

of module into the slot type designed for it. If you install a module in the wrong slot, physical keying prevents the module from fully entering the slot.

■ Avoid damage from static electricity. Static electricity can severely

damage the electronic components on the modules. Follow these procedures to avoid such damage:

• Use proper ESD grounding procedures before handling modules.

• Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the

components and the circuitry on the board.

• When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference

between your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal body, or by frequently touching the switch’s metal body.

■ 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.

• Do not force a module into its slot. If the module does not seem

to be seating correctly, ease it back out and check alignment. Forcing a module can damage it and the backplane. Modules are keyed so that they cannot be fully installed in a wrong slot.

• Check for alignment. Make sure that the metal plate of the module

—not the circuit board—is between the module guides. Check both the upper and lower guides for proper alignment.

■ Secure the module. Once the module is fully inserted, make sure that

you fully close the ejector levers and screw in the two retaining screws to secure the module in place.

■ For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of

electromagnetic emissions, ensure that a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should be

uncovered at a time when you install a module and while the switch is powered on.

Installation Procedures

Installing a Switch Fabric Module

A ProCurve Switch 8100fl requires at least one switch fabric module to process traffic for any interface module. Only one switch fabric module is required for full throughput.

Note that the 8-slot Switch 8108fl uses the half-height switch fabric module. The 16-slot Switch 8116fl uses a full-height switch fabric module.

If you are installing two switch fabric modules, the primary switch fabric module is the one installed in slot FM-A. The redundant switch fabric module is the module installed in slot FM-B.

Caution To prevent equipment damage, review the installation precautions on page

2-17.

To install a switch fabric module (J8729A or J8730A):

1. If a cover plate is installed in the switch fabric module slot, remove it by loosening the captive screws (using slotted or P2 Phillips screwdriver) and pulling the ejectors.

2. Open the ejectors at the top and bottom of the module, and hold the upper ejector lever in the unlocked position while you are installing the module (see step 1 in the illustration opposite).

3. Position the switch fabric module in the FM-A slot (for primary module) or FM-B slot (for redundant module). (You can use either slot in a single switch fabric module installation.)

4. Slide the switch fabric module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing to make sure that the pins on the back of the module are completely seated in the backplane.

Caution The 8116fl switch fabric module is a double height module, which makes

it heavier than the other modules. Make sure that the module is properly seated when you insert it in the switch chassis.

Make sure that the metal plate of the module, and not the circuit board, is between the guides. Check both the upper and lower guides for proper alignment.

Do not force a module into its slot. If the module does not seem to be seating correctly, ease it back out and check alignment. Forcing a module can damage it and the chassis.

5. To lock the module into the slot, close the ejectors until they are vertical.

Installing an Interface Module

ProCurve 8100fl switches provide non-blocking throughput regardless of the software features you are using. Therefore, you do not need to “load balance” interface modules by placing them in certain physical relationships to balance the load on the backplane. Regardless of where you install the interface modules, the backplane can provide full, non-blocking throughput.

You can install interface modules in any numbered slot (1–8 on the Switch 8108fl and 1–16 on the Switch 8116fl). The illustration on example of how to install an interface module.

The Switch 8108fl is shipped with a single AC power supply; the Switch 8116fl is shipped with two AC power supplies. Extra slots are provided in the front of each chassis for the use of additional (optional) redundant power supplies: one in the Switch 8108fl and two in the Switch 8116fl.

This section explains how to install one or more AC power supplies in the chassis. It is recommended that you complete installation of the switch modules before turning the power on to verify the installation (see

Cautions Observe the following precautions when installing a power supply in your

switch:

■ Take into consideration the ratings on power supplies when connecting

them to your supply circuits. Overloading circuits can destroy overcurrent protection as well as supply wiring.

■ Use a single-phase grounded AC power source located within 6 feet (1.89

meters) of the installation site.

■ Use only certified and suitable power cables and plug assemblies for your

location.

■ Do not cover the power supply inlet or exhaust vent.

■ High leakage current can be caused by multiple power supplies. For this

reason, it is essential that each power cable be connected to separate branch circuits with proper earth connections.

6. Connecting a Console to the Switch

ProCurve 8100fl switches have a console interface for managing and configuring the switch. The console can be accessed via the following methods.

■ Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal directly to the switch

using the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter and straight-through cable that comes with each ProCurve Switch 8100fl. For console access, you can directly connect to the RJ-45 serial port on the top of the switch chassis or connect through a Telnet session to the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port on the management module. (The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port requires initial configuration. Refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for detailed information.)

■ In-band: Manage the switch using a Telnet session from a workstation on

your network with a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that you configure the switch with an IP address and a subnet mask by using either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp.

ProCurve 8100fl switches can support simultaneous out-of-band console and in-band Telnet sessions.

Terminal Configuration

Installing the ProCurve

Switch 8100fl

To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a VT-100 or ANSI terminal, or use a VT-100 terminal and configure it to operate with the following settings:

■ Baud rate set to 9600

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

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

Arrow, and

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

Ctrl Keys for Windows” option.

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

If you want to operate the console using a different configuration, ensure you change the settings on both the terminal and on the switch. Change the switch settings first, then change the terminal settings, and re-establish the console session.

Installation Procedures

7. Verifying the Installation

After you have installed all the appropriate components for your switch (power supplies, fan trays, and the various modules required for your installation), replace the power and slot covers over any empty power bays and module slots. Then power on the switch to verify that it is working properly by following the procedure described on

Caution For proper switch cooling and to reduce any electronic emissions, install the

appropriate slot covers over any unused power bays and module slots.

Failure to use the correct slot cover may result in improper switch cooling.

Make sure that you use the correct type of cover for each empty slot. Each cover is labeled as follows to indicate the type of slot for which it is designed (part numbers shown in parentheses):

■ FM Cover for Switch 8008fl fabric module slots (5069-0122)

■ FM Cover for Switch 8016fl fabric module slots (5069-7937)

■ MM Cover for management module slots (5069-0123)

■ IM Cover for interface module slots (5069-0124)

Installation Procedures

To verify the installation:

1. Make sure all exposed interface module slots and power supply bays are free of foreign objects, such as tools, and have the correct slot covers.

2. Check the power supplies to make sure they are attached to your power source.

3. Connect an active terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the switch chassis (labelled Console for MM-A or Console for MM-B) for the active management module (see

page 2-27

for details). The active management module (MM-A or MM-B) has its Active LED lit (green).

4. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs. Make sure the LED on each power supply and fan tray assembly is a solid green. Also, make sure that the Status LED on each active module is solid green.

Notes on LEDs ■ The Link and Activity LEDs on the X2 10-GbE modules (J8736A and

J8737A) will go on for two seconds when a transceiver is inserted into the port. They will then go off until a network cable is plugged into the transceiver and the LEDs follow their normal operational behavior (see

page 1-11).

■ The Activity LED on the 1-Port 10-GbE LR Module (J8733A) will flash once

every four seconds. This is a safety feature known as Auto Laser Shut down.

■ The Link Status LED for the ports on the 10-Port 100/1000Base-T Module

(J8734A) will show solid green when a port is connected at 1000 Mbps, and solid amber when a port is connected at 100 Mbps.

Installation Procedures

8. Connecting Network Devices

Using the appropriate network cables, connect other switches, routers, computers, servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports. The type of network connections that you need to use depends on the types of interface modules you have installed:

■ The X2 10-GbE modules (J8736A and J8737A) support both copper and

fiber optic connections that require the use of a transceiver (see

or Removing Transceivers and Connecting Cables” on page 4-9).

■ The 10-Port Mini-GBIC module supports fiber optic connections that

require the use of mini-GBICs (see

“Installing mini-GBICs” on page 4-15).

“Installing

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 (see

“LEDs” on page 1-6 for details). If the Link LED does not go on, refer

to the following table for diagnostic tips and troubleshooting procedures.

Table 2-1. Troubleshooting the Link LED

Condition Diagnostic Tip

Port Link LED is • For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the switch and the connected off when a cable is connected

device) are securely connected.

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

• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection (for more information on cables, see Appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables”).

• 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.

• Verify that 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 a Telnet session) to determine the state and configuration of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.

• If the above procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

This chapter is a guide for using the command line interface (CLI) via a direct console to quickly assign an IP address and subnet mask to the switch, set a Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.

Topics covered in this chapter include:

■ Accessing the CLI (see page 3-1)

■ Setting Basic System Information (see page 3-2)

■ Setting up Passwords (see page 3-6)

■ Updating Software (see page 3-10)

Note Many other features can be configured through the CLI to optimize the

switch’s performance, enhance your control of network traffic, and improve security. Once an IP address has been configured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently through a remote Telnet session. For more information, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.

Booting Up and Accessing the CLI

1. Connect a terminal device to the switch as described on page 2-27.

2. Power on the switch by either inserting the power supplies or turning on the AC to the power supplies.

3. At the prompt, press Enter to activate the Command Line Interface (CLI) on the console.

Note If the boot sequence stops and the CLI presents a bootrom prompt

(PMON>), call ProCurve Networking technical support.

4. From the Exec mode prompt (for example, Switch 8100fl>) type enable and press Enter.

The prompt will change to the Privileged Exec prompt (Switch 8100fl#) and you now have full access to the CLI. (For information on all of the CLI modes, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide.)

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Setting Basic System Information

The first, and only essential, task in basic system configuration is assigning a Management IP address to the switch. This is the IP address that you use to access the ProCurve Switch 8100fl on the network. You must enable the management port and you must enable telnet in order to access the switch remotely.

Follow the procedures in this section to set the following system information:

■ IP address for the management port on the management module

■ System time and date

■ System name

■ System location

■ Contact name (the person to contact regarding this switch)

■ Log in banners

Notes This section assumes a basic understanding of CLI commands, modes, and

procedures. For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM that comes with your

switch.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Setting Up Passwords

You can password-protect CLI access to the Series 8100fl Switch by setting up passwords for Exec mode access, Privileged Exec mode access, and terminal line access. If you have a User password but not an Enable password, you can use only the commands available in Exec mode. If you have an Enable password, you can use commands available in the Privileged Exec and Configuration modes, as well as the commands in Exec mode.

In addition, you can set up the Series 8100fl Switch for TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication by a TACACS+ or RADIUS server. Procedures for configuring the switch for TACACS+ and RADIUS can be found in the Management and Configuration Guide.

Specifying the CLI-level Password

To add password protection to the CLI, enter the following command:

Switch 8100fl(config)#enable secret <password>

Getting Started With Switch

By default the password you enter will be encrypted to prevent it from being displayed in clear text in the configuration file output.

For example:

To create an encrypted password called “mysecretpassword” enter;

Switch 8100fl(config)#enable secret mysecretpassword

Configuration

When you enter the password, and then enter show running-config, this will appear as a line in the running configuration as follows:

enable secret 5 $1$ZyK.$8NHx2DJBsiGQyhTBmUakz1

where 5 indicates that the password is encrypted as an MD5 hash.

To allow passwords to be displayed in an unencrypted format, enter 0 before you enter the password.

For example:

To create a clear text password called “mypassword” enter;

Switch 8100fl(config)#enable secret 0 mypassword

3-6

Page 67

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Setting Up Passwords

When you enter this setting, it will appear as a line in the running configuration as follows:

enable secret 0 mypassword

where 0 indicates that the password is not encrypted.

Caution Test all new passwords before saving the running configuration to the Startup

configuration file.

After password protecting access to the CLI, you can still access the Series 8100fl Switch without a password by connecting a terminal line configured without password protection. To password protect terminal lines from users connecting with Telnet or SSH, see

“Specifying Line-level Passwords”.

Specifying Line-level Passwords

The ProCurve Switch 8100fl supports up to 10 vty remote connections for which you can assign line-level passwords. To prevent unauthorized access, it is recommended you assign line-level password protection to all the terminal lines that you configure.

To add password protection to each terminal (or console) line:

1. From Configuration mode, enter the following command:

Switch 8100fl(config)#line vty 0

where 0 represents the line number of the vty terminal line connection.

2. Enter the following command to configure a password to the line that you have specified:

Switch 8100fl(config-line)#password <password>

By default the password you enter will be encrypted to prevent it from being displayed in the configuration file output.

For example:

To create an encrypted password called “mysecretpassword” enter;

Switch 8100fl(config-line)#password mysecretpassword

When you enter the password and then enter show running-config, this will appear as a line in the running configuration as follows:

Switch 8100fl(config)#enable secret 0 mypassword

When you enter this setting, it will appear as a line in the running configuration as follows:

enable secret 0 mypassword

where 0 indicates that the password is not encrypted.

Note By default all passwords are encrypted, meaning that they will not display

in readable text in the configuration files. To specify an unencrypted password, you must enter a 0 before entering the password text.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to assign a line-level password to each terminal line that you have configured on the switch.

Getting Started With Switch

Recovering from Forgotten Passwords

If you forget your line-level passwords, you can log on using the console and enter new passwords. Once you enter the new passwords, other users who access these lines can use the new passwords. To make the changes permanent, save the new passwords to the startup configuration.

Configuration

3-8

If you forget your console or CLI-level password that allows you to log on to the command line interface, you must reboot the switch and reset the password from Boot mode in the CLI. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. If you have two Management Modules installed, pull the backup module out of its slot so that only one Management Module is active.

2. Connect to the serial console of the active Management Module, and then perform a power cycle to reboot the switch.

3. Interrupt the normal bootup sequence—at the point where it says: “Press <Enter> to execute or <ESC> to abort”—by pressing the [ the spacebar to skip the countdown sequence).

This will put you into Boot mode—the prompt will change to PMON>.

4. From Boot mode, enter the following commands:

PMON> set STARTUP_MODE skip_config PMON> boot

The configuration process will then skip the startup configuration and the switch will boot up with the factory default settings.

5. At the reboot, enter a new password.

6. To make the changes permanent, save the new password setting to the startup configuration using the write memory command.

Note If you have removed a backup management module, insert it back into its

slot before entering write memory—this will synchronize both active and backup startup configurations to use the new password.

The next time you reboot the system, you will be able to use the new password for access and authentication.

Enabling Secure Shell (SSH) Access

To enable an ssh connection to the switch:

1. From configuration mode, enter the following commands:

Updating Software

Install Software Image and Reboot. To install the latest software, follow the steps below.

Note The following example uses a TFTP download method. While other methods

such as SCP (secure copy) are also possible, these other methods are not described here (see the Management and Configuration Guide for details).

1. Copy the software image file to a TFTP server (or other area) accessible by the management module (MM) Ethernet interface.

2. Verify that the MM Ethernet interface can reliably access the TFTP server.

3. Copy the file to the management module’s compact flash card using the copy command from the Privileged Exec level of the CLI.

For example, to download a file named CY.02.00.swi from a TFTP server with the IP address of 10.28.227.103 to primary flash, enter:

Switch 8100fl#copy tftp://10.28.227.103/CY.02.00.swi flash:

The new image file will be copied to primary flash.

4. Use the image install command to install the image in a backup software storage bank:

Switch 8100fl#image install <name>

where

name

is the path or filename (for example,

flash:CY.02.00.swi

The new software is loaded in the flash memory bank opposite the bank that is currently active. For instance, if the software is currently running on Bank-A, then Bank-B will contain the new software

5. Use the show module management command to see which bank on the primary management module has the new software.

6. Use the boot system command to activate the new software from the correct bank, and reboot your system.

Switch 8100fl#boot system {bank-A | bank-B }

Hot Swapping The ProCurve Switch 8100fl supports “hot swapping” - the ability to replace

the following hardware components while the switch is operating: a fan tray, power supply (if a second power supply is installed), interface module, switch fabric module, and/or management module.

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 ProCurve 8100fl 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.

This unit has more than one power supply cable. To fully power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables or remove all power supplies before servicing equipment

Replacing Power Supplies

If your ProCurve 8100fl Switch is configured with redundant power supplies, you will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if a power supply fails. Simply replace the failed component as soon as possible. The Power Status LED on the chassis and on the power supply unit itself will indicate which power supply has failed.

Note The Switch 8116fl chassis requires at least two active power supplies

operating to function correctly.

To remove an AC power supply:

1. Ensure that the AC power supply is not plugged into an AC power source.

2. Insert a flat blade screwdriver (or similar lever device) into the indent located on the bottom edge in the center of the handle

Replacing Fan Trays

The Fan Status LEDs on the switch chassis and on each fan try indicate when one or more fans fail. In this case, simply replace the failed component as soon as possible.

WARNING For safety, if you are hot swapping out the fan tray assembly, pull the assembly

out one-inch and allow the fans to stop rotating before pulling it all the way out.

To replace a fan tray:

1. Remove the two screws holding the failed fan tray assembly. (The LED on the fan tray and on the chassis will indicate which one is failed.)

2. Pull the fan tray assembly out.

3. Install the new fan tray assembly as described on page 2-15.

Note In case your cabling installation does not allow access to the fan tray

assemblies, remove as many cables as necessary in order to access them.

Replacing Modules

The ProCurve Switch 8100fl chassis supports three types of modules:

■ Switch fabric modules

(full-height module for 8116fl; or half-height module for 8108fl)

■ Management modules

■ Interface modules

To replace a module, you must follow a different procedure for different module types:

■ For a fabric or interface module, you can remove the module from its slot

in the ProCurve 8100fl Switch chassis and install a new module in the empty slot while the switch is powered on.

■ For a management module, you must first stop the module by entering the

halt command. Then remove the module from its slot and install a new module.

Caution To avoid damaging modules and the backplane, be sure you are inserting the

right type of module into the slot type made for it.

Replacing Hardware

Hot Swapping and Redundancy

All modules can be “hot swapped”; that is, they can be removed or installed while the switch is powered on. However, note the following differences between module types with respect to redundancy:

■ When the primary switch fabric module fails, the redundant switch fabric

module takes over (in less than five seconds) and continues to function as the primary module even after the failed module is replaced.

■ When hot swapping interface and switch fabric modules, use the CLI

redundancy switchover fabric-module lock command to prevent a redundant switch fabric module from taking over as the primary switch fabric module. Once the hot swap is completed, re-enable fabric protection switching by using the redundancy switchover fabric-module clear command

■ When the primary management module fails, the redundant management

module takes over immediately as the new primary management module. However, this new primary management module will reboot the other modules resulting in a loss of traffic until all modules are back on line. When the failed management module is replaced, the replacement management module serves as the redundant management module.

4-4

Page 77

Replacing Hardware

Replacing Modules

■ Interface modules do not have redundant protection. If an interface

module fails, traffic on the module will stop until you can replace the module.

Fail Over Protection

If the primary management module fails, the redundant management module will reboot the switch fabric module and interface modules. During this time, service is affected.

To perform a controlled shutdown on a management or fabric module and cause the redundant module to take over, enter the following command:

Switch 8100fl(config)#halt <slot>

Configuration Changes

In normal operation, whenever changes are made to the primary management module’s configuration file, the changes are copied to the redundant manage ment module’s configuration file. In this way, if the primary management module fails, the redundant module has all the configuration information necessary to take over as the primary.

Removal and Installation Precautions

■ Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the modules. When

handling and installing the modules in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage from static electricity:

• Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components and the circuitry on the board.

• When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference between your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch’s grounding point, or by frequently touching the switch’s metal body.

• Take appropriate care when removing interface modules from the ProCurve 8100fl Switch. They may be hot to the touch.

■ The ProCurve 8100fl Switch modules have “low-force”, high-performance connectors. High

insertion forces are not necessary to install the modules, 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. Then rotate the extractors until they are fully closed (vertical).

■ Once the module is fully inserted, make sure you screw in the two retaining screws to secure

the module in place.

■ For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure

that a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should be uncovered at a time when the switch is powered on.

Installing Modules

To install a new or replacement module:

Note For further details, refer to the installation procedures described on page 2-16.

1. Make sure you install the module in the appropriate slot.

• Switch fabric modules can only be installed in the slots labelled FM-A or FM-B.

• Management modules can only be installed in the slots labelled MM-A or MM-B.

• Interface modules can only be installed in slots numbered 1-8 (Switch 8108fl); or in

slots numbered 1-16 (Switch 8116fl).

2. Slide the module all the way into the slot. Press the ejector levers until they are vertical to seat the module fully in place, ensuring that the pins on the back of the module are completely connected to the backplane.

Caution Ensure that the backsheet (metal plate) of the interface module and not

the circuit board is between the module guides. Check both the upper and lower guides.

3. Tighten the captive screws on each side of the module to secure it to the chassis.

Verifying the Installation

Once a module is installed, the ProCurve 8100fl Switch recognizes and activates the module. To verify installation, make sure the Status LED on each module is solid green.

Note The Active LED will not light on a redundant (non-primary) management

module or on a redundant (non-primary) switch fabric module.

Replacing Mini-GBICs

You can remove or install a mini-GBIC from the 10-port mini-GBIC Module without having to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs. The following mini-GBICs are supported by the ProCurve 8100fl mini-GBIC module (as of this printing):

■ Gigabit-SX LC mini-GBIC (J4858B)

■ Gigabit-LX LC mini-GBIC (J4859B)

■ Gigabit-LH LC mini-GBIC (J4860B)

■ Gigabit 1000Base-T mini-GBIC (J8177B)

Caution Use only the supported genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs with your switch.

Non-ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported. Should you require additional ProCurve mini-GBICs, contact your ProCurve Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.

Removing Mini-GBICs

Replacing Hardware

WARNING The ProCurve fiber optic mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid

direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

The extraction process varies among different mini-GBICs (see the illustrations and examples in this section). The mini-GBIC removal process is essentially to disengage the unit from its port via the extraction mechanism, then pull the unit straight out of the receptacle.

Note You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before

removing it from the module.

Depending on when you purchased your ProCurve mini-GBIC, it may have one of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom, a wire bail, or a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC (see the following pages for details).

Installing mini-GBICs

The ProCurve mini-GBICs use slightly different release mechanisms, but the insertion process is virtually the same for all.

To install a mini-GBIC in the 10-Port mini-GBIC Module:

1. Orient the mini-GBIC as shown in the illustration below. Note that the release mechanism is on the left of the receptacle.

2. Insert the mini-GBIC into the receptacle until it locks into position.

Caution If the mini-GBIC does not go in easily, do not force it. If the mini-GBIC is

not oriented properly, it will stop about one quarter of the way into the slot—remove and reorient the mini-GBIC so that it slides easily into the slot.

Keep the dust plug in the mini-GBIC when there is no fiber cable plugged in. The optics will not work properly when obstructed with dust or contaminants. It is recommended that you clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cable prior to plugging it into the optical bores of the mini-GBIC.

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your ProCurve 8100fl switches. Note that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting using the soft ware tools available with the switch. For more information, see the chapter on “Troubleshooting” in the Management and Configuration Guide that is on the documentation CD-ROM included with your switch.

This chapter describes the following:

■ Basic troubleshooting tips (page 5-1)

■ Diagnosing with the LEDs (page 5-3)

■ Hardware diagnostic tests (page 5-6)

■ Restoring the factory default configuration (page 5-8)

■ Downloading new code (page 5-9)

■ ProCurve Networking customer support services (page 5-9)

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting:

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 recom mended tool for every 100Base-T and 1000Base-T network installation.

■ Invalid 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.

5-1

Page 90

Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

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 ProCurve 8100fl switches, if you wish to build redundant paths between important nodes in your network to provide some fault toler

ance, 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.

ProCurve 8100fl switches also support Link Aggregation, which allows multiple network cables to be used for a single network connection without causing a data path loop.

For more information on enabling Spanning Tree and Link Aggregation, see the Management and Configuration Guide on the documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.

■ Check the port configuration. A port on your ProCurve Switch 8100fl

may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, or LACP (automatic link aggregation). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.

5-2

Check 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 that is on the documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch for more informa

tion.

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 Networking Web site,

www.procurve.com, in the Information Library section.

Troubleshooting Procedures

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Procedures

Table 5-1 describes the error conditions and LED patterns that may occur on

a switch and switch modules.

To troubleshoot Switch 8100fl operation using LEDs:

1. Find the LED pattern in Table 5-1 that you see on your switch.

2. Follow the associated diagnostic procedure to resolve the problem.

Table 5-1. LED Error Conditions

Problem Solution

The power supply is installed but not working (no LEDs are on, the fan module is not operating, and so on).

1. Verify that the power cable is plugged into an active power source and to the switch. Ensure these connections are snug.

2. If the Power LED is still not on, verify that 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 cable.

If the power source and power cable are OK and this condition persists, the switch power supply may have failed. Call your ProCurve Networking-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty card for more information.

Troubleshooting

The fan module is not active.

The management module is not active.

No interface modules are active.

A specific interface module is inactive.

Check the power cable and the circuit to which the power supply is connected.

If the green status LED on the power supply indicates that it is active, immediately power down the chassis, unplug the power supply, and contact technical support. The fan module may be improperly connected or damaged.

Check the power cable and the circuit to which the power supply is connected.

If the power supply is working, make sure the management module is inserted all the way into its slot in the chassis and the captive screws are screwed in. The management module must be in the management module slot (labelled MM) and not in a numbered interface module slot.

Check the power cable and the circuit to which the power supply is connected.

Make sure that the interface module is inserted all the way into its slot in the chassis, the extractor levers are fully closed, and the captive screws are screwed in.

5-3

Page 92

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Procedures

Problem Solution

Troubleshooting

The chassis LEDs indicate activity but you cannot tell what the switch is doing.

The LED STATUS light on the interface module is ORANGE.

Make sure you have properly connected the primary management module to a management console and the console is powered on.

When the Status LED on the module is lit, this indicates that the module received power from the switch, but the subsequent boot 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 ProCurve Networking introduces new modules for your ProCurve Switch 8100fl, 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 8100fl, as of the printing of this manual, are listed in

“ProCurve Switch 8100fl Features” on page 1-14. You can

download the latest code from the Software Updates link on the ProCurve Networking web site at

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 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 another module, or cover the slot with a blank slot cover. Call your ProCurve Networking-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

Troubleshooting Procedures

Troubleshooting

An older software version continues to boot instead of the newer version on a PC card or TFTP server.

You have forgotten your password

You are unable to access the configuration commands in the CLI.

Configuration changes do not seem to be taking effect.

Configuration changes are not reinstated after a reboot.

The Series 8100fl Switch is not resolving DNS names.

Refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for procedures on how to configure the Series 8100fl Switch to boot using newer software.

If you forget your system-level password, you can recover it by entering boot variables to skip the startup configuration so that the switch boots up with the factory default settings.

If you forget your UNIX password, it can be reset from privileged mode by entering the username command to reconfigure the root password.

In both cases, call your ProCurve Networking-authorized LAN dealer or use the electronic support services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance.

Enter the enable command to access the Privileged Exec mode, then enter the configure command to access the Configuration mode.

Use the procedure in “Saving and Using the New

Configuration” on page 3-4 to activate the changes.

Use the procedure in “Saving and Using the New

Configuration” on page 3-4 to save the configuration

changes to the Startup configuration file.

Use the procedure in the Management and Configuration Guide to set up DNS.

If you have already performed this procedure, make sure you can use NS lookup on the DNS server to get the default domain.

Troubleshooting

An SNMP manager cannot access the Series 8100fl Switch.

You are unable to ping a certain host.

Use the procedure in the Management and Configuration Guide to set up an SNMP community string and specify a target for SNMP traps.

If you have already performed this procedure, enter the show snmp community command to check the SNMP settings.

Use the traceroute and ping commands to verify that the Series 8100fl Switch can reach the SNMP management station.

Create and add an IP interface for the host. See the Management and Configuration Guide for information.

5-5

Page 94

Troubleshooting

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Resetting the Switch

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, choose one of the following options:

■ Unplug and plug in the power cable (power cycling).

■ Enter the reload command from the command-line interface.

Power cycling the switch and the software reset and the reload option cause the switch to perform a power-on self-test, which almost always will resolve any temporary operational problem. Neither of these reset procedures causes any changes to the switch configuration.

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-T, or 1000Base-T standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected to. The twisted-pair cables attached to a ProCurve Switch 8100fl must be compatible with these standards.To verify your cable is compatible with these standards, use a qualified cable testing device.

5-6

Page 95

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Troubleshooting

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. See the Management and Configuration Guide that is on the documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch 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 or ProCurve Manager Plus.

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 a link test or Ping test.

Troubleshooting

5-7

Page 96

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 inter rupts 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, routing, and security. Returning the configura tion 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 switch Management and Configura tion Guide that is on the documentation CD-ROM for more information on this command.

5-8

You can restore the factory default configuration by using the switch console.

To restore the factory default configuration from the console:

■ Enter the following command at the console prompt to back up the startup

configuration:

Switch 8100fl#copy startup flash:startup.bak

■ Enter the following command to erase the setup configuration:

Switch 8100fl#erase startup

■ You can also restore the factory default configuration by entering the

following commands from the boot prompt:

PMON> set STARTUP_MODE skip_config PMON> reset
