Chapter 1: Overview Port Pinouts 38 You may use straight-through or crossover cables on ports that are connected to network devices that support automatic MDIX detection and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps. You must use straight-through cables on ports that are connected to network devices that have a fixed wiring configuration of MDI and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Power over Ethernet on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card The twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card support Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism by which the ports supply power to network devices over the twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. This feature can simplify network installation and maintenance because it allows you to use the switch as a central power source for other network devices.
Chapter 1: Overview Power Budgeting The power for PoE on the ports of the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards is provided by the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply, which can provide up to 1200 watts of power. You may install up to two power supplies in the chassis for a total of 2400 watts for the powered devices. The number of powered devices the chassis can support at one time depends on the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the chassis and the power requirements of the powered devices in your network.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards typically support both power delivery methods. However, some legacy PDs support only one power delivery method. Legacy devices are nodes manufactured before the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards were completed and, consequently, may not adhere to the standards. Legacy devices that only support Alternative B will not work with the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card.
Chapter 1: Overview Port Numbers on the AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has two port numbers for each transceiver slot. The numbers are displayed on the front panel alongside and above the slots in the top row and alongside and below the slots in the bottom row. For instance, the first transceiver slot in the top row has the port numbers 0 and 2 and the slot beneath it has the port numbers 1 and 3.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide slot in the top row is port number 0 because it is the lower of the two port numbers of the slot. To configure the transceiver, you have to specify port 0 in the management software. The switch marks the unused port number of the slot, in this case port number 2, as masked or eclipsed to prevent you from using it to manage the transceiver. In contrast, an SFP module in a slot in the bottom row is assigned the higher number of the slot’s two numbers.

SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Monitoring the Initialization Process The control and line cards perform an initialization process when you power on or reset the chassis. The process may have up to three phases. The number of phases and their durations depend on the number of control cards in the chassis. There are three possible configurations: Configuration 1: Chassis with one control card. The initialization process for a chassis that has only one control card has two phases.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Chassis with the active card does the inactive card begin to forward packets across the backplane. The phases of the initialization processes and their approximate times are shown in Table 25. Table 25. Switch Initialization Phases Phase Description Config 1 Config 2 Config 3 1 The control card initializes its management software.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide synchronized its database with the active control card, at which point it turns solid amber to indicate the inactive state of the card. However, the inactive card is forwarding traffic over the backplane. Using the Console Port to Monitor the Initialization Process Another way to monitor the initialization process of the chassis is to connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on the control card and watch the status messages.

Chapter 8 Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis This chapter describes how to verify the operations of the chassis. The chapter contains the following sections: “Using the LEDs to Verify the Chassis” on page 196 “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 198 Note Allied Telesis recommends using both methods to confirm the operations of the chassis, control cards, and line cards.
Chapter 8: Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis Using the LEDs to Verify the Chassis After powering on the chassis for the first time and waiting a minimum of two minutes for the line and control cards to complete the initialization process, check the operational status of the various hardware components by examining the LEDs, as explained in this procedure: 1.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide 5. To check the status of the Ethernet line cards, inspect the SBx Status LEDs on the control card. (If the chassis has two control cards, you may use the LEDs on either the active or inactive card.) A line card is operating normally when it corresponding LED is solid green. The LED flashes green as the card initializes its management software. If an LED is flashing green after two minutes, the corresponding line card may have a problem.
Chapter 8: Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis This section explains how to confirm the operations of the chassis with the commands in the management software on the control card. The section has the following procedure: “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 198 “Entering the Management Software Commands” on page 199 The initial management session must be a local management session.

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting software version on the controller card, refer to “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 198 and “Management Software Releases for the Hardware Components” on page 69. The problem may be with one of the two power supply interfaces (opto-couplers) on the rear panel of the chassis. For troubleshooting suggestions, refer to “Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers)” on page 218.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Ethernet Line Cards A quick and easy way to check the overall heath of the Ethernet line cards in the chassis is by examining the SBx STATUS LEDs on the controller card. (If the chassis has two controller cards, you may use the LEDs on either card.) There are twelve LEDs, numbered 0 to 11, but the ATSBx3106 Chassis uses only LEDs 0 to 5, (LEDs 6 to 11 are always off.) A solid green LED indicates that the card in the corresponding slot is operating normally.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Command has been submitted officer SEC>> 208 Try installing the card in a different slot. If it works in the new slot, the problem is with the previous slot. Try installing the card in a different chassis. If it works in the new chassis, the problem is with the previous chassis. If the problem persists, the problem is with the card.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Twisted Pair Ports The ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards have L/A LEDs that are solid or flashing green when the ports are operating at 1000 Mbps, and solid or flashing amber at 10 or 100 Mbps. If a port is cabled to a network device but the L/A LED is off, try the following: If all of the L/A LEDs on the card are off, try pressing the ecofriendly button on the active master controller card to verify that the LEDs on the line cards are on.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to operate at 1000Mbps. The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation for duplex modes. The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Power Over Ethernet This section applies only to the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card. The ports on the line card have two LEDs each. The left LED provides port link and activity status and the right LED provides PoE status information. The PoE LED is solid green when a port is delivering power to a powered device (PD). The PoE LED of a port that is not delivering power will be flashing amber, steady amber, or off.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting 212 Use the SHOW POE CARD command to determine whether the switch has reach its maximum power budget. Try connecting the PD to a port on a different AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Fiber Optic Transceivers The L/A LEDs on the AT-SBx31GS24, AT-SBx31GC40, AT-SBx31XS6, and AT-SBx31XZ4 Line Cards are solid or flashing green when ports on fiber optic transceivers have links to end nodes. If a transceiver is cabled to an end node but the L/A LED is off, try the following: If all of the L/A LEDs on the line cards in the chassis are off, try pressing the eco-friendly button on the active master controller card to turn on the LEDs.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting and network device. The devices must be transmitting and receiving on opposite wavelengths. For example, if the fiber port on the CSFP transceiver transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm, than the port on the remote network device must transmit at 1310 nm and receive at 1550 nm.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card If the chassis has one controller card and it fails, all network operations stop. The Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic until the controller card is replaced. If the chassis has two controller cards and one fails, the Ethernet line cards continue to forward traffic, but the traffic bandwidth of each line card slot is reduced from 40 to 20 Gbps, which may result in slower network operations.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting AT-SBxFAN06 Fan Module The AT-SBxFAN06 Fan Module is operating correctly when the POWER LED on the module is solid green. If the LED on the fan module is off, check the FAN LED in the SYS STATUS section on the active master controller card. The LED should be green. If the FAN LED is off or flashing amber, one or more fans in the module are no longer operating properly. You may also view the status of the unit with the SHOW FANMODULE command in the management software.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch through the Console RS-232 port on the front panel, do the following: Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active master controller card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers) The two power supply interfaces in the lower right corner of the rear panel are used by the active master controller card to obtain status information from the power supplies. The interfaces are shown in Figure 32 on page 67. Each power supply interface supports two power units. The top interface supports the power supplies in slots A and C. The bottom interface supports the supplies in slots B and D.
