» Unsuccessful switchover: nothing happens
Turns hub off immediately (the system will
automatically attempt a switch over to the
standby ShMC)
NOTE:
In a single hub system, nothing will happen when the power button is quickly pressed (short press). The power button must be pressed for several
seconds (long press) for the hub to power OFF. This will result in complete loss of network access and management capabilities.

1.7 Interfacing
Two types of connections can be established with MSH8900 components: a management networking connection or a serial console connection.
The SYMKLOUD platform comes with a System Monitor Web Interface (SMWI). The SMWI is the Web interface of the ShMC and can be used to access the
Web interfaces of some hub components (e.g. switch, load balancer). Refer to the
SYMKLOUD MS2900 Platform Quick Start Guide
for an overview of the
SMWI and for information on how to access it.
The serial interface of the MSH8900 hub includes a multiplexing functionality that establishes a link with a component through a series of commands
(Figure 10).
The IP address of the component you want to connect to might be required when using certain paths. For a list of the default IP addresses of
components, refer to the
SYMKLOUD MS2900 Platform Quick Start Guide.

2 Extracting and Inserting a Module
2.1 Extracting a Hub Module
NOTE:
Steps in blue apply only to hot swap procedures.
1. Take all necessary ESD protection measures.
2. Press the power button of the hub to be extracted.
3. The ID LED of the hub becomes steady blue: the hub is ready to be extracted.
4. To release the safety locks, simultaneously squeeze the black moving parts against the black fixed parts and move the safety locks to a 90-
degree position to unhook the hub from the frame of the MS2900 (Figure 11).
5. Hold the safety locks and extract the module by pulling it from the slot.
Figure 11: Hub module safety lock location
2.2 Inserting a Hub Module
1. Holding the safety locks, insert a hub module in the appropriate slot until the safety locks rest against the faceplate.
2. Gently push the safety locks against the frame of the hub until you hear a click.
3. The power LED of the hub then becomes steady or blinking green: the hub is powered on and ready to use.

2.3 Extracting an Optional Uplink Module (MSU8700)
Uplink module MSU8700 cannot be hot swapped.
1. Take all necessary ESD protection measures.
2. Press the power button of the hub connected to the uplink module to be extracted (uplink 1 is connected to hub 1 and uplink 2 to hub 2).
3. The ID LED of the hub and the ID LED of the uplink module become steady blue: the rear uplink module is ready to be extracted.
4. Release the wire handle to a 90-degree position.
5. Pull on the wire handle while pressing down on the safety lock located at the top of the module (Figure 12).
Figure 12: Uplink module safety lock and wire handle locations
NOTE
: When using optical SFP+ modules in the uplink module, the chassis alignment bracket may prevent easily pulling or activating the SFP+ release
clamp. It is suggested to extract the entire uplink module to release the SFP+ module. Once the new SFP+ module is inserted in the uplink module,
follow the steps in section
2.4 to insert the uplink module and activate the SFP+ module.
2.4 Inserting an Optional Uplink Module (MSU8700)
1. Holding the wire handle, insert an uplink module.
2. Push it in until the safety lock locks in place.
3. Press the power button of the hub connected to the uplink that was inserted. The power LED of the hub becomes steady or blinking green and
the power LED of the uplink module becomes steady green: the hub and its uplink module are powered on and ready to use.
2.5 System Behavior upon Hot Swap
NOTE:
The system is electrically designed to support a surprise extraction. However, this type of extraction is not recommended and could affect system
performance and functionalities.
When a hot swap procedure is performed on the MSH8900 hub, the following systems and functionalities could be affected:
» The rear uplink module linked to the removed hub loses connection.
» Access to the extracted ShMC SEL data and SMWI could be interrupted.
» The nodes lose half of their fabric and base connections.
» A SYMbalance node connected to the removed hub could stop functioning properly because a 10GbE link could be lost. (Hub 1 is connected
to node 7 and hub 2 to node 9.)
» If a ring topology (recommended) is used for the system stack, the system topology changes to a chain topology until the ring is rebuilt.
» If a chain topology is used for the system stack, removing a hub could break the chain and affect system performance.
3 Software Configurations and Conventions
To use the system, you must perform the configurations described in section 4.1 Configuring Switch Management Interfaces.
Page 25
MSH8900 User’s Guide
www.kontron.com
25
Conventions:
» Elements between < > in blue are variables. The value shown is an example or an instruction of what to enter. Items between () show a value
range for the variable spelled out, e.g. <Switch No. (1-5)> means you must enter the switch number and that this number can be between 1
and 5.
» The | symbol indicates a choice between two or more alternatives, e.g. x|y|z reads “x or y or z”.
» Elements in
black bold
are selectable menu items or button names.
» Elements in
blue italics
are configuration options or types.
» The > symbol separates a series of operations required to access a specific element.
Configuration command tables:
Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 contain 2-column tables. The first column describes steps that can be performed in the Web interface named in the header. The
second column describes steps that can be performed in the CLI specified in the header. See Figure 9 and Figure 10 to find out how to access the
specified Web interface or CLI.
Switch Web User Interface help:
» The Help menu of the Switch Web User Interface is comprehensive. It should be used to configure the system.
Switch ICLI help:
» The switch ICLI contains a context-sensitive help feature.
» Use the ? symbol to display the next possible commands and their descriptions.
» To perform the configurations described in this guide, you need to access the ICLI in Privileged Exec mode. Use the “enable” command to
access this mode. (The command prompt will display the # sign when you are in Privileged Exec mode.)
» Almost all configuration commands have a corresponding ‘no’ form. The ‘no’ form is syntactically similar (but not necessarily identical) to the
configuration command; however, it either resets the parameters to default values for the configurable item or disables the item altogether.

4.8 Stacking Configuration
Stacking is a method used to create a switch cluster for the functionalities of all switches. By default, stacking is enabled, all switches have the same
priority level, a master switch is selected by the system, and switch IDs are assigned based on order of detection.
Up to 16 switches (maximum of 8 MS2900) can be stacked using the dedicated 10GbE stacking ports on the front plate and the dedicated interswitch
stacking ports. The master switch selected by the system manages the switch cluster.
Two types of topology are supported: ring topology (closed loop) and chain topology (open loop). A ring topology is recommended for redundancy and
performance purposes.
Figure 14: Stacking example using 4 MS2900
The blue cable in Figure 14 closes the loop. If this cable (or any cable involved in the stacking) is removed, the ring topology becomes a chain topology.
Removing a cable between 2 MS2900 will disable their external stacking capabilities; however, their internal (hub 1 to hub 2) stacking capabilities will
be maintained.
To configure a specific stack:
Switch Web User Interface ICLI (serial, SSH, Telnet, SOL)
Configuration > Stack
Proceed with configuration
Click
