Chapter 1

About the Passport 8100 Modules

The Passport 8100 modules prov ide a f ull compl ement of switching capabil ities in a Passport 8000 Series chassis. The Passport 8100 modules provide 10/100 megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiating twisted pair Ethernet ports, 100 Mb/s fiber Ethernet ports, and fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports. A Passport 8000 Series chassis with installed Passport 8100 modules constitutes a single switching entity with distributed management and full redundancy.

The Passport 8100 modules include a switch management module and input/output (I/O) modules. For CPU system redundancy, you can install two management modules. The I/O modules support different types of Ethernet interfaces with different speeds, port counts, and media types.

The following Passport 8100 modules are available:

• Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module—management module f or the chassis (page 1-4

About the Passport 8100 Modules

The Passport 8190SM module fits into either slot 5 or slot 6 in the Passport chassis. Image, configuration, and log files are maintained on the flash memory (onboard and PCMCIA) of this module. The module also provides out-of-band management by using the Ethernet port on the module.

Note: Nortel Networks recommends using the Ethernet port on the Passport

8190SM module for management rather than a switched port.

You achieve redundancy by putting a Passport 8190SM module into both slots 5 and 6 of the chassis. When running normally, the second module is in standby mode. Should the primary Passport 8190SM module fail, the secondary module initializes while the swit ch cont inues to pass t raffic. When the seconda ry Pass port 8190SM module completes initialization, it resets the switch with a convergence time similar to the convergence timing for spanning tree.

The Passport 8190SM module can also be in the chassi s with the Pas sport 8690SF Switch Fabric Module. The Passport 8690SF module provides layer 3 functionality for 8600 Series modules (routing switch modules). For more information about the Passport 8690SF module, refer to Using the Passport 8600 Modules.

Note: Although you can mix 8100 Series and 8600 Ser ies modules in the same

chassis, Nortel Networks does not recommend this configuration.

Physical features on the front panel of the Passport 8190SM module include a management port, DCE/DTE switch for the console port, console port, modem port, reset button, PCMCIA card slot, and status LEDs.

Ethernet Management Port

The Ethernet Management port on the Passport 8190SM module is an MDI 10/100BASE-T port that allows out-of-band management using a Web browser, Device Manager and VLAN Manager, or a Telnet session to access the command line interface (CLI). You can use this port to connect the switch to a network management station. The po rt has i ts own IP addr ess but does not s witch tr af fic to other ports in the chassis.

204515-C 1-5

Using the Passport 8100 Modules

Note: This port should be used only as a management port . It does no t provide

network connectivity.

DTE/DCE Switch

The DTE/DCE switch changes the pin assignments on the Console port and allows you to designate the connector as either DTE or DCE. For information about pin assignments for this port, refer to Appendix A, “

Specifications.”

Serial Ports

The Passport 8190SM module provides two serial ports for attachment of modem or console devices. The Console port provides terminal access to the Passport 8190SM module using the CLI. The Modem port al lows you t o connec t a st andard modem for out-of-band, dial-up management.

For communications specifications used by the serial ports, refer to Appendix A,

“Technical Specifications.”

Technical

Reset Button

The recessed reset button on the module allows you to perform a hard reset or reboot of the system.

PCMCIA Card Slot

The Passport 8190SM module provides a PCMCIA card slot for use with an ATA-type Sandisk-compatible flash memory card. The flash memory card provides a convenient way to store switch configurations and boot images. Using the memory card, you can quickly transfer configurations and images between multiple switches or store multiple configurations for a single switch.

Note: You cannot use the Passport 1200 PCMCIA card in Passport 8000

Series equipment.

Passport 8132TX 32-Po rt I/O Modu le

The Passport 8132TX module (Figure 1-3) is a single-slot I/O module for the Passport 8000 Series chassis. It has 32 autosensing 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX switched ports with RJ- 45 conne ctors . The ports h ave int egrat ed LEDs t o in dicat e port operation, and the module has three additional LEDs to indicate system operation. An expansion slot allows you to install an MDA to provide additional port types. You can add 10/100BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, or Gigabit Ethernet ports by installing an optional MDA in the Passport 813 2TX modul e. I n s ert er /e xt rac tor levers and captive retaining screws are at each end of the module.

Figure 1-3. Passport 8132TX Edge Switch Module

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port Connectors

9155EA

The Passport 8132TX module provides 32 10/100 Mb/s autosensing ports that support the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiation standard. Each port can operate in fullor half-duplex mode. When a port is connected to another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, the two devices negotiate the best speed and duplex mode of operation.

The port connectors are 8-pin modular RJ-45 connectors configured as MDI-X (media-dependent interface-crossover) connections. You can connect these ports to an MDI port (for example, a workstation or server) using a straight-through cable. If you are connecting to a device that does not have an MDI port, use a crossover cable (see “MDI and MDI-X Connections” on page A-12

Note: For 10 Mb/s connections, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 copper

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Use only Category 5 UTP cable to connect ports that will operate at 100 Mb/s.

Refer to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications

,” for more information about the

RJ-45 port connectors.

MDA Slot

About the Passport 8100 Modules

The MDA slot allows you to install optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types. The following MDA versions are available for the Passport 8132TX module:

• 450-1SR MDA—1000BASE-SX MDA (1-port shortwave gigabit fiber, with 1 redundant port)

• 450-1SX MDA—1000BASE-SX MDA (1-port shortwave gigabit fiber)

• 450-1LR MDA—1000BASE-LX MDA (1-port longwave gigabit fiber,

with 1 redundant port)

• 450-1LX MDA—100BASE-LX MDA (1-port longwave gigabit fiber)

• 8100-4TX MDA—10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA (4-port copper)

• 8100-2FX MDA—100BASE-FX MDA (2-port multimode fiber with

SC connectors)

• 8100-4FX MDA—100BASE-FX MDA (4-port multimode fiber with MT-RJ connectors)

For information about instal ling MDAs and speci ficat ions fo r each MDA, re fer to

Appendix C, “Media Dependent Adapters

Note: The MDAs are hot-swappable in an operating Passport 8132TX

.”

module; however, the module resets when an MDA is inserted or removed.

Comm Port

The Comm port (also called a Console port) allows you to access the CLI if a Passport 8190SM module is not installed in the chassis. The Comm port is a mini-DIN serial port connector.

204515-C 1-9

Using the Passport 8100 Modules

Note: Nortel Networks recommends using the Passport 8190SM module to

configure and manage your switch. The Comm port on the Passport 8132TX module is active only when no Passport 8190SM module is present and when the Passport 8132TX module is operating as the master module.

The Comm port on the Passport 8132TX module is configured as a data communications equipment (DCE) connector. Be sure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are configured for DCE connections.

LEDs

The Passport 8132TX module has LEDs (Figure 1-4) to indicate operational status of the ports and the module. Each port has two integrated LEDs to indicate link speed and activity for that port. In addition, the module has three LEDs to indicate system operating conditions.
