Switch ports

DANGER

Each power supply can be connected to a separate AC circuit to mitigate the risk of down time during a power failure. When used in a redundant configuration, the dual power supplies have a load-sharing capability that enables each power supply to operate at approximately 50 percent of full load. Using redundant power can minimize the power disruption during a power supply failure and extend the expected lifetime of each power supply by operating normally in a conservative power mode.

There is no power switch on the IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264CS; the switch unit powers up when power is supplied through the power cords.

The Power Supply LED indicates the status of the power supplies. The LED flashes when only one power cord is connected, and is steady when both power cords are connected.

The switch ports and port options are described in the following sections.

v “SFP+ ports” v “QSFP+ ports” on page 8 v “Fibre Channel/Ethernet Omni Ports” on page 9 v “Console port” on page 9 v “USB port” on page 10

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage the switch and other electronic devices.

To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an

electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal part of any unpainted metal surface on a grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device, for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the switch without

setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on a switch cover or on a metal surface.

v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 4. Initializing the RackSwitch

When you supply power to the RackSwitch, the switch initializes automatically.

DANGER

Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords.

(L003)

The following LEDs indicate the overall system status: v Power Supply: Steady green if both power cords are connected, flashing green if

only one power cord is connected.

v Service(!):Offifthesystem is OK, flashing if service is required.

Use the mini-USB console cable to connect the RS-232 serial port on the switch unit front panel to a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. You can access the command-line interface to perform initial configuration tasks.

Page 64

To access the switch CLI and perform initial configuration tasks, use one of the following methods:

v Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 management port and use Telnet,

SNMP, or a Web browser to access the CLI through the IP address provided by the network’s DHCP server.

v Connect the mini-USB console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the switch

unit’s front panel, and use a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program to access the switch CLI.

The console port terminal-emulation requirements are as follows:

v Default baud rate = 9,600 bps v Character size = 8 characters v Parity = none v Stop bits = 1 v Data bits = 8 v Flow control = none

The switch performs initial self tests, and displays the password prompt, similar to the following screen:

Memory Test ................................

Production Mode PPCBoot 0.0.0.10 (new flash)

Memory Test (0x00) .............................PASSED

... IBM System Networking RS G8264CS

Jan 1 00:01:27 2012: NOTICE-5:Interface Oper Status Indication - Port 7 State UP

Password:

At the Password: prompt, enter the switch password, and press Enter. The default password is admin.

Default configuration

The switch software contains default factory-loaded configuration files. The default configuration is part of the software; it cannot be deleted or changed. The default settings allow the switch to perform basic functions with minimal effort by the system administrator. DHCP is enabled by default on the management interfaces and BOOTP is enabled by default on interface 1. If there is no DHCP offer received, the device uses the default Mgmt _IP address (192.168.50.50/24). This address is overwritten when a DHCP/BOOTP address is received for that interface. If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled and there is no static address configured for DHCP/BOOTP requests will continue to be sent. This feature does not change existing DHCP/BOOTP functionality. See the following initial configuration example:

Configuring an IP interface

To manage the switch using Telnet, SNMP, or a web browser, you must configure an IP interface. Configure the following IP parameters:

v IP address v Subnet mask v Gateway address

1. Log on to the switch. At the initial prompt,

Select Command Line Interface mode (ibmnos-cli/iscli):

Type:

iscli

2. Enter IP interface mode.

RS G8264CS> enable RS G8264CS# configure terminal RS G8264CS# (config)# interface ip 1

3. Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment. Enable the interface.

RS G8264CS (config-ip-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 (example IP address) RS G8264CS (config-ip-if)# ip netmask 255.255.255.0 RS G8264CS (config-ip-if)# vlan 1 RS G8264CS (config-ip-if)# enable RS G8264CS (config-ip-if)# exit

4. Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.

RS G8264CS (config)# ip gateway 1 address 10.10.10.1 (example gateway address) RS G8264CS (config)# ip gateway 1 enable

After you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing network connection, you can use the Telnet program from an external management station to access and control the switch. The management station and your switch must be on the same IP subnet.

Updating firmware

If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/. The switch might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the switch, and the documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the switch documentation.

Configuration settings are lost during a firmware update. Before updating the firmware, save a copy of the configuration on a separate device. In the event of a failed update, the saved configuration can be restored. For more information about the configuration file, see the Application Guide and Command Reference for the switch.

Attention: Installing the wrong firmware update might cause the network switch to malfunction. Before you install a firmware, read any readme and change history files that are provided with the downloaded update. These files contain important information about the update and the procedure for installing the update, including any special procedure for updating from an early firmware version to the latest version.

The RackSwitch supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure and control the switch over the network using the Telnet program. You can use the CLI to perform many basic network management functions. In addition, you can configure the switch for management by using an SNMP-based network management system or a web browser.

For more information about using the CLI, see the Command Reference for the IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264CS.

To check for firmware updates, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/. For firmware updates, click Downloads.
