These SFPs are packaged separately and therefore are not factory-installed. 100 Mbps SFP Follow the steps below to install an SFP. Anti-Static Warning.
Blank Cover Plates Blank cover plates are factory-installed in the chassis and are used to cover empty uplink and stacking module slots, as well as empty back up power supply bays. These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. They also protect the switch’s processor board and other sensitive internal switch components from physical damage by closing off a chassis that is not fully populated.
Connections and Cabling Once your switch is properly set up and all required hardware components are installed, you should connect all network and management cables required for your network applications.
The Next Step If you are setting up a stand-alone OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch (i.e., a switch that is not a part of a stacked configuration), skip to “Booting Stand-Alone Switches” on page 29.
Completing a Stacked Configuration All switches in the stacked configuration should now be placed in their proper location (e.g., tabletop to rack). In order to complete the stacked configuration process, you must complete the following steps: • By default, the primary—or management—role will be given to the switch with the lowest chassis MAC address. All other switches in the stack will be in nonoperational status until slot numbers are assigned by the user and the stack is manually rebooted.
Assigning Slot Numbers 1 Power on a single switch in the stack. Do not power on any additional switches in the stack at this time. The slot number is displayed by the slot indicator LED located on the left side of the chassis front panel (refer to “OmniSwitch 6600 Status LEDs” on page 67 for more information). Because the switch’s default slot number is 8, the slot indicator LED displays “8” when the switch is first booted.
Slot Numbering Example 31 29 36 11 27 34 9 25 Valid Slot Assignments 32 7 tch i iSw 24 66 O NS LE P EM I T PR C SE 2 PS 2 OK SE L 29 36 11 27 34 9 25 32 7 N FA tch i iSw 30 5 24 66 28 3 12 26 1 mn 10 CO NS OL E P EM I T PR C SE 2 PS 2 OK SE L 34 9 N FA h itc 30 5 24 66 w niS O NS 28 3 10 2 PS LE 31 29 SE L 36 11 27 34 9 25 32 7 N FA h itc 28 3 NS OL sequential (4, 5, 6, and 3), all switches in the stack have a unique slot number.
Connecting Cables to Stacking Modules Guidelines • Port numbers are clearly marked on the chassis front panel. 1 Starting from the top of the stack, attach one end of a 30 cm stacking cable to a High Speed Serial Data Connector (HSSDC) located on the switch’s stacking module, as shown. • If you have not already individually assigned slot numbers and powered off each switch, do not connect stacking cables to the stacking modules.
2 Attach the other end of the cable to a HSSDC connec- 3 To provide added resiliency and redundancy, it is tor on the switch immediately below. Repeat this procedure until all switches in the stack are connected (see illustrations a, b, and c below). strongly recommended that you install the optional onemeter stacking cable to connect the top switch in the stack to the bottom switch.
4 Now that all switches in the stack are connected, 3 After you have booted the stack and powered on all continue to “Booting the Stack” on page 29. back up power supplies (if applicable), continue to “Verifying LED Status” on page 30. Booting the Stack In order for the switches in the stack to operate using their newly-assigned slot numbers, all switches in the stack must be manually booted. To manually boot the stack, follow the steps below.
Verifying LED Status Component LEDs The boot process takes a few moments to complete. During this process, the LEDs on the switch’s front panel may flash and change color, indicating different stages of the boot. Following a successful boot, the LEDs should display as follows: 30 OK1 Solid Green OK2 Blinking Green PS1 Solid Green PS2 Solid Green (if back up power supply is installed). Amber if no back up power supply is installed or if a back up power supply error has occurred.
SEC LED The secondary role is given to the switch with the next-lowest number. To verify this, check the SEC LED on the front panel of the switch with the next-lowest assigned slot number. The SEC LED should be illuminated solid green. Idle Status All additional switches with higher numbers will be given idle status. The PRI and SEC LEDs for these switches will be off. For additional information on primary, secondary, and idle roles within the stack, refer to the Hardware Users Guide.
Your First Login Session Once the switch or stack has successfully booted and you have accessed your computer’s terminal emulation software via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic information. Note. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before initiating your first login session. Logging In to the Switch Important.
The default welcome banner, which includes information such as the current software version and system date, displays— followed by the CLI command prompt: Welcome to the Alcatel OmniSwitch 6000 Software Version 5.1.5, June 30, 2004. Copyright(c), 1994-2004 Alcatel Internetworking, Inc. All Rights reserved. OmniSwitch(TM) is a trademark of Alcatel Internetworking, Inc. registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Setting user profile... -> More Information on User Accounts.
Assigning IP Addresses to Switches in a Stacked Configuration It is important that all switches in a stacked configuration have the same assigned IP address. This way, if a failover should occur (i.e., another switch in the stack assumes the primary management role), users can still log in to the stack via remote login sessions such as Telnet, FTP, and WebView.
Unlocking Specified Session Types Changing the Login Password You can also unlock session types on a one-by-one basis. For example, to unlock Telnet sessions only, enter the following command: Change the login password for admin user sessions by following the steps below: 1 Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user -> aaa authentication telnet local To unlock WebView (HTTP) sessions only, enter the following command: type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on page 32).
All subsequent login sessions—including those through the console port—will require the new password in order to access the switch. User Accounts. The switch allows a maximum of 50 user accounts in the local user database. For information on creating additional user types and assigning individual passwords, refer to the “Managing Switch User Accounts” chapter of your Switch Management Guide.
Setting Optional System Information This section provides information on configuring optional system parameters, including: • the switch’s administrative contact • a system name Specifying a System Name The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch. To specify a system name, enter system name, followed by a text description of up to 19 characters. Note. You cannot include spaces between words when entering a system name.
Viewing Your Changes To view your current changes, enter show system at the CLI prompt. Saving Your Changes Modifying the Serial Connection Settings The switch’s serial connection defaults are listed on page 22. If you wish to modify the default serial connection settings (i.e., baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits), refer to the following steps. Once you have configured this basic switch information, save your changes by entering write memory at the CLI command prompt. Note.
3 To change the parity value, enter boot serialparity, followed by the desired parity value. Options include none (default), even, and odd. For example: 7 You can save your changes to the boot.params file by entering commit file at the boot prompt: Boot > commit file Boot > boot serialparity even 4 To change the data bits (i.e., word size) value, enter When the commit file command is used, changes will not be enabled until after the next switch reboot.
This completes the initial setup process. Your OmniSwitch OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch is now ready for additional configuration and network operation. Refer to the following sections for more information on using your switch, as well as additional built-in features.
CLI Basics The Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to configure and monitor your switch by entering single-line commands. The CLI can be accessed through terminal or Telnet sessions. Note. Configuring the switch using the CLI is also referred to as “online configuration.” The following section provides basic information on CLI assistance features.
Command Line (?) Help Partial Keyword Completion The CLI provides additional help in the form of the question mark (?) character. The ? character provides information that helps you build your command syntax. For example, if you enter The CLI has a partial keyword recognition feature. Instead of typing an entire keyword, you can type only the minimum number of characters needed to uniquely identify the keyword, then press the Tab key.
Inserting Characters Prefix Recognition To insert a character between characters that are already typed, use the Left and Right Arrow keys to place the cursor into position, then type the new character. Once the syntax is correct, execute the command by pressing Enter. In the following example, the user enters the wrong syntax to execute a command. The result is an error message.
Prefix Prompt You can set the CLI to display the current command prefix as the command prompt by entering the following command: -> prompt prefix After entering this command, your command prompt will include current stored prefix information until a new prompt is specified.
Command Logging OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches provide command logging. This feature allows users to record up to 100 of the most recent commands entered via Telnet and console sessions. In addition to a list of commands entered, the results of each command entry are recorded. Results include information such as whether a command was executed successfully, or whether a syntax or configuration error occurred. Note.
Common CLI Commands The following table lists some basic CLI commands that will help you get acquainted with the CLI interface. Enter each command exactly as shown. For complete descriptions of these commands, refer to your OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. write memory Saves current configuration changes to the /flash/working directory’s boot.cfg file. For more information, refer to page 48. show running-directory Displays the current running directory. For more information, refer to page 52.
Offline Configuring Scheduling a Configuration File to be Applied at a Later Time You can configure OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches using an ASCII-based text file. This is referred to as offline configuring. With offline configuring, CLI commands may be typed into a text document (referred to as a text-based configuration file) and then uploaded and applied to the switch. You can apply a file to the switch immediately.
Files and Directories Boot and Image Files Although the flash memory on OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can contain many file types (e.g., log and snapshot files), there are four specific file types that provide key switch and network functions. These files include the boot.cfg file, boot.params file, boot.slot.cfg file, and image (.img) files. boot.params File The boot.params file provides IP address, gateway, and mask information for the switch.
boot.slot.cfg File The boot.slot.cfg file contains the slot assignment for each switch installed in a stacked configuration. The slot assignment number is automatically written to the boot.slot.cfg whenever a slot number is manually assigned and the switch is rebooted. The following is a sample boot.slot.cfg slot entry: boot slot 3 No software configuration is required. For detailed information on manually assigning slot numbers, refer to page 25. Image Files Image files (those files with .
Hwebqos.img Provides WebView configuration of Quality of Service (QoS) features. Hwebadvrout.img Enables WebView configuration of Alcatel’s Advanced Routing. Optional. Hwebsecu.img 50 Files and Directories Provides WebView configuration of enhanced security features for the switch.
Working and Certified Directories Alcatel’s OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches are shipped with 32 MB of flash memory. This memory is used to store files, including boot and image files, that are used for switch operations. The /flash directory contains two subdirectories: /working and /certified. These directories work together to provide the image rollback resiliency feature. Image rollback allows the switch to return to a prior “last known good” version of software in the event of a system software problem.
How can I tell which directory the switch is currently using? When you first boot the switch, the /flash/working directory is used; this allows you to save your initial configuration changes to the boot.cfg file. However, subsequent boots may result in your switch running from the /flash/certified directory. Therefore, verifying the current running directory is a key step any time you are configuring or monitoring the switch.
When the switch is running from the /flash/working directory software, configuration changes can be saved via the write memory command. Working and Certified Are Different If the software in the /flash/working directory differs even slightly from the software in the /flash/certified directory, the switch will automatically run from the /flash/certified directory. My Working and Certified directories are different. Can I force a reboot from the Working directory? Yes.
Loading Software The following section describes the procedure for loading new release software to your switch. Note that the procedure varies slightly for stand-alone and stacked OmniSwitch 6600 Family configurations. Follow the steps that apply to your system. 3 Using your FTP client or the CLI’s rm command, delete all .img files from the /flash/working directory. You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to delete all .img files at once. For example: -> rm working/*.img Note.
5 Use the install command after the software files have been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example: Stacked Configurations 1 Verify that the OK1 LED is solid green and the OK2 -> install /flash/working/*.img Note. For more information on the install command, refer to the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide or the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. LED is flashing green on both the stack’s primary and secondary OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches.
5 Using your FTP client, upload all required .img files from the new software release to the primary switch’s /flash/working directory. 6 Use the install command after the software files have been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example: -> install /flash/working/*.img Note. For more information on the install command, refer to the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide or the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. 7 Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory.
Using WebView The switch can be configured and monitored using WebView, Alcatel’s Web-based device management tool. WebView software is pre-installed in the switch; you are not required to load additional software. Note. Although WebView software is pre-installed, you must first enable HTTP sessions for your switch before you can log in. Refer to “Unlocking Session Types” on page 34 for more information.
Logging In to WebView Note. Before attempting to establish a WebView session, be sure that you have first unlocked the HTTP session type via the aaa authentication command. Otherwise, a login error will occur. See “Unlocking Session Types” on page 34 for more information. Remember, if you have already changed the user name and password for your switch, be sure to use the new information. If you have not changed your user name or password, the factory defaults are admin and switch, respectively.
Navigate the application by clicking on the “Configuration Group” buttons in the left-hand toolbar Site Maps. WebView also provides site maps for each configuration group. Site maps allow you to view complete page contents under each feature. By providing quick, easy access to specific pages, site maps can reduce time spent searching through the WebView application. To access site maps, click the “Site Map” link included on each configuration group Home page, (e.g., Health).
Online Help Troubleshooting General online help is available through the main Help link located in the top WebView banner: The WebView login screen does not display. This suggests either a physical or network connection issue. Try the following options: • Be sure that you have a good physical Ethernet cable connection to the switch. • Be sure your computer has a valid Ethernet connection and IP address.
