Switch Management Overview
1.1 About the ES3000 Ethernet Switch
The ES3000 Ethernet Switch comes in two versions. One version provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) in accordance with IEEE standard 802.3af. This allows compatible Ethernet devices to obtain power from the 10/100BaseT Ethernet wiring. IEEE 802.3af PoE senses the need for power before supplying power and will not damage non-PoE Ethernet devices.
The other version of the ES3000 Switch does not provide power over Ethernet. Power features are not available in the non-PoE version of the switch.
The Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch is available in the following models:
ES 3000-PWR (supporting PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-PWR-10-WW
ES 3000 (non PoE) - Part Number ES-3000-10-WW
The PoE and non-PoE versions of the ES3000 use different versions of the bootcode and runtime software. Do not attempt to use PoE software with a non-PoE switch. Do not attempt to use nonPoE software with a PoE switch. Attempting to do so may render the switch inoperable.
1-2 ES3000 User Guide
1.2 Management Access Overview
The Symbol ES3000 Managed Switch provides user interface flexibility using:
•An administration console
•A Web Browser interface
•External SNMP-based network-management application.
The administration console and Web Browser interface are embedded in the switch firmware.
1.3 SNMP Access
Use an external Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) -based application to manage the Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch.
The SNMP management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station use the same community string and the SNMP Network Management Station is entered in the SNMP Host table on the switch. The SNMP management method uses two community strings: the GET community string and the SET community string. If the SNMP Network management Station only knows the SET community string, it can read from and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the GET community string, it can only read MIBs. The default GET community string for the switch is 'public', and the host table is empty.
1.4 Protocols
The Symbol ES3000 Ethernet Switch supports the following protocols:
•Virtual terminal protocols, such as Telnet
•SNMP
1.4.1 Virtual Terminal Protocols
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program (such as Telnet) allowing the establishment of a management session from a Macintosh, PC or UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, at least one IP address is required on the ES3000 Ethernet Switch before establishing access to it with a virtual terminal protocol.
Terminal emulation differs from a virtual terminal protocol in that the user is required to connect a terminal or PC directly to the console port. A workstation can be connected to the system through a
Switch Management Overview 1-3
virtual terminal protocol (Telnet), and a terminal connecting directly to the console port through a nullmodem serial cable.
1.4.2 SNMP Protocol
SNMP is the standard management protocol for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries allowing the protocol to format messages and transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.
1.5 Default Installation
1.5.1 Preparing for Site Installation
Site preparation for the ES3000 Ethernet Switch installation begins with a site survey and network analysis. Review the site survey reports to determine specific equipment placement, site-specific port capacity, and power drops. Ensure the installation area is free of dust and dirt.
Review the following guidelines for site preparation:
•Assign installation responsibility to appropriate personnel.
•Identify where all installed components are located.
•Verify appropriate rack mounting requirements.
•Arrange for a sufficient number of power drops to support the equipment installation.
•Verify adequate ventilation to all installed equipment.
•Identify and prepare Ethernet and TCP/IP and serial port connections.
•Verify cable lengths are within maximum allowable distances for optimal signal transmission.

Firmware Upgrades
Symbol periodically releases new versions of the firmware that runs on the ES3000 Ethernet Switch. These software releases provide new features that can extend the useful life of the ES3000 Ethernet Switch.
To upgrade software on the switch, boot the switch from a TFTP server instead of its own nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). To initiate the sequence, set the Next Boot From configuration parameter to Boot from Net, and reset. When the Boot from Net option is set, the switch uses an image residing on a TFTP server on the network. Ensure the TFTP server residing on the network is accessible by the switch. Once completed, the software version requires verification within the System page.
The PoE and non-PoE versions of the ES3000 switch use different versions of the bootcode and runtime software. Do not attempt to use PoE software with a non-PoE switch. Do not attempt to use non-PoE software with a PoE switch. Attempting to do so may render the switch inoperable.
2-2 ES3000 User Guide
Symbol recommends using a RS-232 serial port connection to the switch during the software upgrade. When using a Telnet Session or Web interface, the connection to the switch is not available until the switch has completed its boot cycle and entered the Spanning Tree forwarding mode. This can take up to three minutes.
To upgrade the switch firmware using the Web interface:
1.Go to Main Menu->Switch Tools Configuration->Software Upgrade Menu->TFTP Software Upgrade.
2.Set the IP address and Image File Name.
3.Verify the IP address for the TFTP Server and the file name of the new software image are accurate.
4.Verify the TFTP server and IP connection between server and switch are working properly.
5.Select Upgrade Image. The switch downloads the image from TFTP Server and replaces the runtime image in Flash.
