Setting the Date/Time and Enabling NTP Client

The Date/Time dialog allows you to manually set the date, time, and time zone on a switch, or to enable NTP (Network Time Protocol) Client to synchronize the date and time on the switch with an NTP server. Enabling the NTP client requires an Ethernet connection to an NTP server, but ensures the consistency of date and time stamps in alarms and log entries. When the date/time is set or displayed in the firmware, it is always in Universal Time. However, when displayed in the Date/Time dialog, the value is always in local time. If the NTP Client Enabled option is selected (default is un-selected), the Date and Time areas becomes inactive, thus preventing you from manually setting the date and time on the switch. The NTP Server Discovery and NTP Server IP Address fields become active, and allow you to select a discovery method (S tatic, DHCP, DHCPv6) and to specify an IP address.

NOTE:

The difference between switch and workstation times must not exceed 24 hours, or the switch management application can not connect using SSL.

To manually set the date and time on a switch, do the following:

1. Open the Switch menu, and select Set Date/Time.

2. In the NTP area of the Date/Time dialog, clear (un-select) the NTP Client Enabled option. The fields in the Date and Time areas become active.

3. Enter the day, year, hour, and minutes.

4. Select a month and time zone from the drop-down lists.

5. Click the OK button. The new date and time take effect immediately.

To synchronize the date and time on the switch with an NTP server, do the following:

1. Open the Switch menu, and select Set Date/Time.

2. In the NTP area of the Date/Time dialog, select the NTP Client Enabled option. The fields in the Date and Time areas become in-active.

3. Select a time zone from the Select Time Zone drop-down list.

4. Select an NTP Server Discovery option from the drop-down list.

5. Enter an NTP Server IP Address.

Depending on the reset type, an H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card reset may or may not include a Power On Self Test or it may or may not disrupt traffic. Table 2-5 describes the types of H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets.

During a hotreset operation, fabric services will be unavailable for a short period (30-75 seconds depending on the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card model). V erify all administrative changes to the fabric (if any) are complete before performing an Nondisruptive Code Load and Activation (NDCLA). When upgrading firmware across a fabric using non-disruptive activation, upgrade one H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card at a time and allow 75 seconds between each H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card.

CAUTION!

Changes to the fabric may disrupt the NDCLA process.

Common administrative operations that change the fabric include:  Adding, moving or removing devices attached to the H3C LSW1FC4P0

Interface Card fabric. This includes powering up or powering down at t ached devices.

 Adding, moving or removing ISLs or other connections. After an NDCLA operation is complete, management connections must be

re-initiated:

 QuickTools sessions will re-connect automatically  Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.

Applicable Code Versions:  Future H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card code releases will be upgraded

non-disruptively unless specifically indicated in its associated release notes

 An NDCLA operation to previous H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card code

releases is not supported.

Figure 2-14. Switch Properties Dialog

Syslog

The Syslog (Remote Logging) feature enables saving of the log information to a remote host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card log whether this feature is enabled or not.

To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file (located on the remote host) and then restart the syslog daemon. Consult your operating system documentation for information on how to configure Remote Logging. The syslog.conf file on the remote host must contain an entry that specifies the name of the log file in which to save error messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A <tab> separates the selector field (local0.info) and action field which contains the log file path name (/var/adm/messages/messages.name).

Symbolic Name

The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card. The symbolic name is used in the displays and data windows to help identify an H3C L SW1FC4P0 Interface Card. The illegal characters are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).

H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card Administrative States

The H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card administrative state determines the operational state of the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card. The H3C LSW1FC4 P0 Interface Card administrative state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.

 Configured administrative state — the state that is saved in the H3C

LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card configuration and is preserved across H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets. QuickTools always makes changes to the configured administrative state. The configured administrative state is displayed in the Switch Properties dialog.

 Current administrative state — the state that is applied to the H3C

LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card for temporary purposes and is not retained across H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets. The current administrative state is set using the Set Switch command.

Table 2-6 describes the administrative state values.

Table 2-6. H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card Administrative States

Parameter Description

Online The H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card is available. Offline The H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card is unavailable. Diagnostics The H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card is in diagnostics mode, is

unavailable, and tests can then be run on all ports of the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card.

SNMPv3 Security

Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable standards-based protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packet s over the network. SNMPv3 security is an additional layer of security offered with the

9.0.7 firmware. The SNMPv3 security is available to a switch that has a secure connection, and can only be configured on the entry switch. The security features provided in SNMPv3 are:

 Message integrity—ensures that a packet has not been tampered with

during transit.

 Authentication—determines the message is from a valid source.  Encryption—scrambles the contents of a packet to prevent it from being

seen by an unauthorized source.

The SNMP v3 Manager dialog allows you to add, remove, and edit an SNMPv3 user. To display the SNMP v3 Manager dialog (Figure 2-23) open the Switch menu, select SNMP, and select SNMP v3 Manager. The SNMP v3 Security option allows you to turn SNMPv3 security on or off.

Click the Add button to open the SNMPv3 User Editor dialog (Figure 2-24), and add an SNMPv3 user. After SNMPv3 users are configured and saved, they are displayed in the SNMPv3 Users list window in the SNMP v3 Manager dialog. Select a user from the list, and that user’s settings are displayed on the right in the Selected SNMPv3 User area. The Remove and Edit buttons become active when you select a user from the SNMP v3 Users list. Click the Remove button to delete the selected user.

Using the Event Browser

The Event Browser displays a list of events generated by the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card in the fabric and QuickTools. Events that are generated by QuickTools are not saved on the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card, but can be saved to a file during the QuickTools session.

Entries in the Event Browser (Figure 2-27) are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on an H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card is 1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events are discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card, use the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card time stamp, while event entries generated by the web applet have a workstation time stamp. You can filter, sort, and export th e content s of the Event Browser to a file. The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and QuickTools is running.

If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog, the next time QuickTools is started all event s from the H3C LSW1 FC4P0 Interface Card log will be displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when QuickTools is started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be displayed.

Alarm—an alarm is a serviceable event. This means that attention by the

user or field service is required. Alarms are posted asynchronously to the screen and cannot be turned off. If the alarm denotes that a system error has occurred the customer and/or field representative will generally be directed to provide the output file from the Show Support command.

Critical event—an event that indicates a potential failure. Critical log messages are events that warrant notice by the user. By default, these log messages will be posted to the screen. Critical log messages do not have alarm status as they require no immediate attention from a user or service representative.

Warning event—an event that indicates errors or other conditions tha t may require attention to maintain maximum performance. Warning messages will not be posted to the screen unless the log is configured to do so. Warning messages are not disruptive and, therefore, do not meet the criteria of Critical. The user need not be informed asynchronously

No icon Informative—an unclassified event that provides supporting information.

NOTE:

 Events (Alarms, Critical, Warning, and Informative) generated by the

web applet are not saved on the switch. They are permanently discarded when you close a QuickTools session, but you can save these events to a file on the workstation before you close QuickTools and read it later with a text editor or browser.

 Events generated by the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card are stored on

the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card, and will be retrieved when the web applet is restarted. Some alarms are configurable.

Filtering the Event Browser

Filtering the Event Browser enables you to display only those events that are of interest based on the event severity, timestamp, source, type, and description. To filter the Event Browser, open the Filter menu and select Filter Entries. This opens the Filter Events dialog (Figure 2-28). The Event Browser displays those events that meet all of the criteria in the Filter Events dialog. If the filtering criteria is cleared or changed, then all the events that were previously hidden that satisfy the new criteria will be shown.

Managing H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card

Using the Event Browser

You can filter the event browser in the following ways:  Severity—select one or more of the corresponding options to display alarm

events, critical events, warning events, or informative events.

 Date/Time—select one or both of the From: and To: options. Enter the

Installing Firmware

Installing firmware involves loading, unpacking, and activating the firmware image on the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card. QuickTools does this in one operation. To provide consistent performance throughout the fabric, ensure that every H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card is running the same version of firmware.

During a hotreset operation, fabric services will be unavailable for a short period (30-75 seconds depending on switch model). To ensure that an NDCLA operation is successful, verify that all administrative changes to the fabric (if any) are complete.

CAUTION!

Changes to the fabric may disrupt the NDCLA process.

Common administrative operations that change the fabric include:  Adding, moving or removing devices attached to the H3C LSW1FC4P0

Interface Card fabric. This includes powering up or powering down at t ached devices.

 Adding, moving or removing ISLs or other connections.

59273-00 C 53

Managing H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card Installing Firmware

After an NDCLA operation is complete, management connections must be re-initiated:

 QuickTools sessions will re-connect automatically  Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.

The applicable code versions are:  Future H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card code releases will be upgraded

non-disruptively unless specifically indicated in its associated release notes

 An NDCLA operation to previous H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card code

releases is not supported.

Setting Value

From Email Address: The Email address that will be provided to the SMTP

server to indicate the sender of the Email being transmitted. In Emails sent by Call Home, this address will appear in the message heading as the "From : " address. This value is required to send Emails. If there are any problems encountered in routing the Email to any of the intended recipients, the notice of the problem will be sent to this address. It is an important address for receiving Email notices concerning problems.

This address is also the default address used when replies are sent to an Email by a recipient. If the "Reply-To: " Email address is supplied it will override the sending of replies to the "From: " Email address by recipients. However, any notifications of Email problems sent by any SMTP server used to route the message to the final recipient will always send those notifications to the "From: " address.

ReplyTo Email Address: The Email address used by mail reading programs to

determine the address that an Email should be addressed to for a reply to a received message. This value will override the use of the "From: " address as the recipient for a reply message.

Throttle Duplicates: This boolean setting indicates if duplicate messages

should be suppressed and accumulated. If "True", then after an Email has been transmitted, Call Home will not transmit Email for switch events that would result in duplicate Emails during a specified time window (default is 15 seconds). The time window can be only be configured using the command line interface. During this time window, these duplicate switch events will be accumulated to keep track of how many have occurred. After the time window has expired, an Email message for the event will be transmitted that also includes the count of how many duplicate events were accumulated and the time of the last received event. If additional switch events are received that would result in duplicate Email messages being sent.

Port States

The port operational state refers to actual port state and not the administrative state you may have assigned. Refer to ”External Port Operational States” on

page 3-76 and ”Internal Port Operational States” on p age 3-77 for port operational

state information. The port administrative state refers to the user-requested state. Port administrative states have two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state. Refer to ”Port Administrative S t ates” on page 3-78 for more information.

External Port Operational States

To view the operational state on each external port in the faceplate display, select an external port, open the View menu, and then select View Port States.

Table 3-18 lists the possible operational states and their meanings.

Table 3-18. External Port Operational States

State Description

Port Administrative States

The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state has two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.

 Configured administrative state — the state that is saved in the H3C

LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card configuration and is preserved across H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets. QuickTools always makes changes to the configured administrative state.

 Current administrative state — the state that is applied to the port for

temporary purposes and is not preserved across H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card resets. The current administrative state is set with the Set Port command using the command line interface.

Table 3-20 describes the port administrative states. To change port administrative

state, do the following:

1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.

2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog.

3. Select the Port State option from the drop-down list.

4. Click the OK button to write the new port state request to the H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card.

NOTE:

The Map Ports dialog enables you to configure data traffic routes from server bay ports to one or more uplink port s. Server bay ports are referred to as TH (Transparent Host) ports. When an uplink port is used to attach an external server, it must be configured to a TH port. At least 1 uplink port must connect to an H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card that supports NPIV (N-Port ID Virtualization). When an uplink port is connected to an H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card, it is called a TF (Transparent Fabric) Port. By default, the 4 uplink ports are TF ports. Refer to ”Mapping Ports” on

page 3-83 for more information.

59273-00 C 81

Managing Ports Testing Ports

Testing Ports

Offline port diagnostic tests are available for external port s (0–3) and internal ports (4–7). Offline tests disrupt data traffic. Performing an offline test automatically places the port in diagnostics mode, and then the port is reset after the test is complete. There are two types of offline port tests: internal and external.

 An internal test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip

and back to the ASIC for the selected port. The intern al port test is ava ilable for all ports (0–7).

 An external test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip,

through the SFP transceiver fitted with an external loopback plug, and back to the ASIC for the selected port. External port tests are available only for external ports (0–3).

To test a port, do the following:

1. Select a port in the faceplate display.

2. Open the Port menu, and then select Port Diagnostics > Other Port Diagnostics to open the Port Diagnostics dialog (Figure 3-41).

Figure 3-41. Port Diagnostics Dialog

3. Keep the selected port or choose a new port from the Select Port: drop-down list.

Managing Ports

Mapping Ports

4. Select the test type from the Select Test Type drop-down list.

 Select Internal to test the internal port connections.  Select External to test the port and the SFP. You must install an SFP

transceiver and a loopback plug in the port for this test.

5. Enter a frame size (default is 256).

6. Enable or disable the Terminate Test Upon Error option.

7. Select a Loop Count option. The Loop Forever option runs the test until you click the Stop Test button. The Loop Count option runs the test a specific number of times.

8. Select a Test Pattern option. Accept the default test pattern, or select the User Defined option and enter a value.

9. Click the Start Test button to begin the test. Observe the results in the Test Results area.

NOTE:

If the Test S t atus field in the Test Results area indicates Failed, note the Test Fault Code displayed in the Port Information data window and contact your technical support representative.

Mapping Ports

The Map Ports dialog enables you to configure data traffic routes from server bay ports to one or more uplink ports. Server bay ports are referred to as TH (Transparent Host) ports. At least one uplink port must connect to a fabric switch that supports NPIV (N-Port ID Virtualization). When an uplink port is connected to a fabric switch, it is called a TF (Transparent Fabric) port.

NOTE:

The Map Ports dialog requires at least one internal port to be configured as a TH port and at least one external port to be configured as a TF port. If all internal ports or all external ports are configured as PT ports, the Map Ports dialog becomes inactive in the Port menu and can not be selected.

59273-00 C 83

Managing Ports Mapping Ports

Using the Map Ports dialog, you can assign a TH port to multiple TF ports. For redundancy purposes, a backup port mapping can also be specified. To open the Map Ports dialog (Figure 3-42) open the Port menu, and select Map Ports. Leaving a TH port unmapped has the same effect as unplugging a Fibre Channe l cable. You can map multiple primary and backup ports for any TH port. A port designated as primary will be the first path chosen. If there are multiple primary ports, the TH ports are distributed (using an algorithm) across the TF ports. Ports designated as backup ports only become active when all primary ports fail.

Figure 3-42. Map Ports Dialog

The four external ports (numbered 0-3) can be configured as Transparent Fabric (TF) or Pass-thru (PT) ports. The four internal ports (numbered 4-7) can be configured as Transparent Host (TH) ports or Pass-thru (PT) ports. By default, all TH ports are mapped to all TF ports as primary.

NOTE:

How ports are mapped affects the operational state of TH ports. If a TH port is not mapped to a TF port, the TH port will be listed as of fline. If a TH port is mapped to a TF port but the TF port is offline or non-existent, the TH port will also be listed as offline. If a TH port is mapped to a TF port and the TF port is online, the TH port will be listed as online. Any TH port must be mapped to a TF port to activate the connection and allow data to pass through. Without a connection, the TH port is offline.
