Features for Switch Model M4300-96X

For hardware information about switch model M4300-96X, including information about
supported port cards, power supply units (PSUs), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) budgets,
see the Fully Managed Stackable Switch M4300-96X Hardware Installation Guide.

This section describes the features that this release supports for switch model M4300-96X.

Slot-Based Port Numbering for model M4300-96X

All physical ports on switch model M4300-96X are based on slots. Because this model
supports 12 slots and each port card provides eight ports, the port numbering is in the format
unit number/slot number/port number.

APM408C, APM408P, and APM408F Port Cards for model M4300-96X

For the APM408C, APM408P, and APM408F port cards, the numbering is as follows:

• The unit is the number that is assigned to the switch, either automatically generated and
assigned by the system, or manually assigned.

• The slot is one of 12 slots that this model supports.
from 1 to 12.

• Each slot can accommodate one port card, and each port card provides eight ports.
Therefore, the port range is from 1 to 8.

For example, the fifth port in the sixth slot of a switch model M4300-96X with a unit number 1
is designated as 1/6/5. Similarly
is 1/12/8.

, the very first port on the switch is 1/1/1 and the very last port

The unit range is from 1 to 8.

Therefore, the slot number ranges

APM402XL Port Card for model M4300-96X

The numbering of the ports on the APM402XL port card is dif ferent from the other port cards.
You can use a 40G port either with a break-out cable, in which case the single 40G port can
support up to four individual 10G ports, or with a connection to another single 40G port.

• Port 1 (the left 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:

- If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are

1, 2, 3, and 4.

- If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 1. In that situation, only

port number 1 is used and port numbers 2, 3, and 4 are not used on the port card.

• Port 2 (the right 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:

- If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are

5, 6, 7, and 8.

- If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 5. In that situation, only

port number 5 is used and port numbers 6, 7, and 8 are not used on the port card.

M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches

For example, if a switch with unit number 1 includes an APM402XL port card in slot 9, port 1
on the port card is connected to four individual port cards, and port 2 on the port card is
connected to another single 40G port, the port numbering is as follows: 1/9/1, 1/9/2, 1/9/3,
1/9/4, and 1/9/5.

By default, the 40G ports on the APM402XL port card (that is, port 1 and port 5) are active,
which means that they are in the attached state, can be detected, and you can use them.
expandable 10G ports on the APM402XL port card (that is, ports 2–4 on the first 40G port
and ports 6–8 on the second 40G port) are nonactive, which means that they are in the
detached state and you cannot use them. However, you can configure them to be in the
attached state so that you can use them (see

page 275).

Third-party TPM404H HDMI Port Card for model M4300-96X

For the third-party TPM404H HDMI port card, the numbering is as follow:

• The unit is the number that is assigned to the switch, either automatically generated and
assigned by the system, or manually assigned.

• The slot is one of the 6 upper slots that this model supports.
ranges from 1 to 6.

The unit range is from 1 to 8.

Therefore, the slot number

Note: Do not insert a TPM404H port card in any of the lower slots (7 to 12) of

the switch.

• Each slot can accommodate one port card, and each port card provides four ports.
Therefore, the port range is from 1 to 4.

For example, the third HDMI port in the fifth slot of a switch model M4300-96X with a unit
number 1 is designated as 1/5/3. Similarly, the very first HDMI port on the switch is 1/1/1 and
the very last HDMI port is 1/6/4.

Slot Configuration for model M4300-96X

By default, the slots of the M4300-96X are configured as empty slots, that is, as slots in which
no port cards are installed. None of the slots are preconfigured. For information about
configuring slots, see

the configuration.

Power management enhances PoE functionality through the following features:

• Priority-based dynamic power management

• Automatic power rebalancing to meet the PoE power demand if system power is limited

• Automatic detection of insertion and removal of a power supply unit (PSU) and automatic

recalculation of the available power

PoE firmware updates occur on a slot basis (that is, for each APM408P port card).

Stacking for model M4300-96X

Y ou can configure all ports on switch model M4300-96X as stacking ports. However, a limit of
a maximum of 16 active stacking links applies.

The APM402XL port card supports stacking over 40G ports only (that is, over port 1 and
port 5 only). When you expands the ports, you cannot use the 10G ports for stacking.

Understanding the User Interfaces

The switch software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring
and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

• Local browser user interface (UI), either over an Ethernet network port or over the
out-of-band (OOB) port (also referred to as the service port)

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

• Command-line interface (CLI)

Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the
components of the switch
network size and requirements, and on your preference.

This manual describes how to use the local browser UI to manage and monitor the system.

The method you use to manage the system depends on your

Local Browser UI Overview

Your switch contains an embedded web server and management software for managing and
monitoring switch functions. The switch functions as a simple switch without the
management software. However, you can use the management software to configure more
advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.

The local browser UI is a web-based management tool that lets you monitor, configure, and
control your switch remotely using a standard web browser
monitor the performance of your switch and optimize its configuration for your network. You
can configure all switch features, such as VLANs, QoS, and ACLs, by using the local
browser UI.

The first time that you log in as an admin user to the local browser UI, no password is
required (that is, the password is blank).

Slot and Port Numbering on the APM402XL Port Card

The numbering of the ports on the APM402XL port card is dif ferent from the other port cards.
You can use a 40G port either with a break-out cable, in which case the single 40G port can
support up to four individual 10G ports, or with a connection to another single 40G port.

Port 1 (the left 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:

• If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are 1,
2, 3, and 4.

• If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 1. In that situation, only port
number 1 is used and port numbers 2, 3, and 4 are not used on the port card.

Port 2 (the right 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:

• If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are 5,
6, 7, and 8.

• If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 5. In that situation, only port
number 5 is used and port numbers 6, 7, and 8 are not used on the port card.

For example, if a switch with unit number 1 includes an APM402XL port card in slot 9, port 1
on the port card is connected to four individual port cards, and port 2 on the port card is
connected to another single 40G port, the port numbering is as follows: 1/9/1, 1/9/2, 1/9/3,
1/9/4, and 1/9/5.

For the APM402XL port card, the ports on the port cards in the slots are numbered as

Using SNMP

The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage
traps that the SNMP agent generates.

The switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that
support additional switch functionality . All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The main object
for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface
configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.

SNMP is enabled by default. The System Information page, which is the page that displays
when you log in, displays the information that you need to configure an SNMP manager to
access the switch.

Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMP v3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user

, which is the admin user; therefore, only one

profile can be created or modified.
As of software version 12.0.9.3, you cannot access the switch using SNMPv3 until you log in

to the switch as an admin and change the default password (see

Use a Web Browser to

Access the Switch and Log In on page 24). After you do, SNMPv3 is automatically

configured with the MD5 authentication protocol and the new password for admin user.
For SNMPv3 switch access, the authentication protocol must be MD5 or SHA. You cannot

use the “none” option for the authentication protocol.

To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile:

1. Launch a web browser

Management VLAN Overview

For you to manage the device by using the web-based configuration utility, the device
management IP address must be defined and known. A management VLAN interface is
created by default and it gets an IP address if a DHCP server is present. If it fails to get an IP
address, a fallback address 169.254.100.100/255.255.0.0 is assigned to it. Management
VLAN is used as the default source interface for syslog, message log, and SNMP client, and
so on The network interface is disabled by default.

Configure System Information User Manual54

M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches

The management VLAN is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch
through any of the switch’s front panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with
the switch’s management VLAN do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports
through which traffic is switched or routed.

To access the switch over a network, you must first configure it with IP information (IP
address, subnet mask).

• DHCP

• T

erminal interface through the EIA-232 port

After you establish in-band connectivity, you can change the IP information using any of the
following:

• T

erminal interface through the EIA-232 port

• T

erminal interface through Telnet

• SNMP-based management

• W

Configure an SNTP Server

SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond.
Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch software operates
only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.

Time sources are established by stratums. Stratums define the accuracy of the reference
clock.
device receives time from Stratum 1 and above since it is itself a Stratum 2 device.

The following is an example of stratums:

• Stratum 0. A real-time clock is used as the time source, for example, a GPS system.

• Stratum 1.

• Stratum 2.

Information received from SNTP servers is evaluated based on the time level and server
type.

The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest), the more accurate the clock. The

A server that is directly linked to a Stratum 0 time source is used. Stratum 1

time servers provide primary network time standards.

The time source is distanced from the Stratum 1 server over a network path.
For example, a Stratum 2 server receives the time over a network link, through NTP, from
a Stratum 1 server.

SNTP time definitions are assessed and determined by the following time levels:

•T1. Time that the original request was sent by the client.

•T2.

•T3.

•T4.

The device can poll unicast server types for the server time.
Polling for unicast information is used for polling a server for which the IP address is known.

SNTP servers that were configured on the device are the only ones that are polled for
synchronization information.
preferred method for synchronizing device time because it is the most secure method. If this
method is selected, SNTP information is accepted only from SNTP servers defined on the
device using the SNTP Server Configuration page.

Manage Precision Time Protocol

Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) is a protocol that enables precise synchronization
of clocks with a sub-microsecond accuracy across a packet-based network. PTP lets network
devices of different precision and resolution synchronize to a grandmaster clock through an
exchange of packets across the network. The switch supports a PTP end-to-end transparent
clock, which is enabled by default, both globally and at the port level.

Note: The switch itself is not affected by PTP.

Configure the Switch Database Management Template Preference

A Switch Database Management (SDM) template is a description of the maximum resources
a switch or router can use for various features. Different SDM templates allow different
combinations of scaling factors, enabling different allocations of resources depending on how
the device is used. In other words, SDM templates enable you to reallocate system
resources to support a different mix of features based on your network requirements.

Note: If you attach a unit to a stack and its template does not match the

stack’s template, then the new unit automatically reboots using the
template used by the other stacking members. To avoid the automatic
reboot, first set the template to the SDM template used by existing
members of the stack. Then power off the new unit, attach it to the
stack, and power it on.
