Setup Guide
1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35160 Series Gigabit switch. These switches are a family of multi-media and multiprotocol switches capable of supporting Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 and Layer 4 protocols. They are designed to offer industryleading performance at a very competitive cost of ownership. Each IntraCore 35160 switch is a 16-port solution for Gigabit Ethernet switching using shared-memory architecture to achieve Gigabit switching on all ports.
1.1 Features The IntraCore 35160 is a multi-media, multi-protocol switch designed to be a high-performance, compact Layer 2 switch that is field upgradeable to Layer 4 Type of Service. It utilizes the SwitchCore-CXE2010 packet processor to support its many features. The following is a partial list of the switch’s features (please refer to the User’s Manual on the CD-ROM for a complete list of features): • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • SNMP v.
• • • User’s Manual (on CD-ROM) Getting Started Guide (this document) IntraCore 35160 CD-ROM Contact your dealer immediately if any of these items is missing. 1.3 LEDs The system’s front panel LED display allows the manager to monitor the status of the switch. Refer to the following sections for LED information specific to the switch’s model. 1.3.1 IC35160-T The IC35160-T has one power LED indicator, one (optional) emergency power LED, and two LED indicators for each of the 16 ports.
1.3.2 IC35160-G The IntraCore 35160-G has one power LED, one (optional) emergency power LED, two LED indicators for 10/100/1000BaseT status, and one LED for GBIC status. See the table below for a complete LED description. LED Color Description Power Green Power is on. Off Power is off, or main power supply has failed. Emergency Power (optional) Green Primary power has failed and optional power supply is powering the switch. Optional power supply is in standby mode and primary power is working.
1.4 Front and Back Panel Descriptions Refer to the following sections for detailed descriptions of the front and back panels of the IntraCore 35160 series switches. 1.4.1 IC35160-T The front panel of the IC35160-T contains the following: power and port LEDs; 12 10/100/1000BaseT ports; 4 dual-function Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT or GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports; and a console port.
The back panel, shown below, contains: A 12VDC jack for (optional) emergency power; the primary power bay cover plate; the on/off switch; and the primary power outlet. 1.5 Management and Configuration A network administrator can manage the switch with three different methods: web, console/telnet, or SNMP software. They may prefer using a web browser to enable configuring the switch from any local or remote computer, via the network, or they may wish to use a console for out-of-band management.
1.5.2 Web-Based Interface With Internet access, users can link directly to the local switch’s home page. The web interface uses a default user name of root (the default password is Asante). After enabling the HTTP server through the console interface, users can configure the switch via the web browser. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 5 Web-Based Management of the User’s Manual. 1.5.
Setup Guide
2 Installation and Setup This chapter explains how to install and connect the switch to the network. To configure the switch for management, refer to the User’s Manual on the CD-ROM. The following guidelines will help in installing the switch in such a way that it has the proper power supply and environment. 2.1 Safety Overview The following information provides safety guidelines to ensure safety and to protect the switch from damage.
• could void the product’s warranty Examine the work area for potential hazards (such as wet floors or ungrounded cables) and eliminate them before installing the switch For more safety information, please refer to the User’s Manual. 2.2 Recommended Installation Tools The following tools and equipment (not included) are needed to install the switch: • • • Flat head screwdriver Phillips head screwdriver Antistatic mat or foam 2.
Failure to observe these limits may cause damage to the switch and void the warranty. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference. 2.5 Cooling and Airflow The switch uses internal fans for air cooling. Do not restrict air flow by covering or obstructing air vents on the sides of the switch. 2.6 Installation Overview Follow these steps to install the switch: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Open the box and check the contents. SeeChapter 1.
To mount the switch onto an equipment rack: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface. Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the mounting holes on one side of the unit. Use the screws (supplied) to secure the bracket (with a Phillips screwdriver). Repeat the two previous steps on the other side of the unit. Place the switch in the equipment rack. Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the equipment rack.
2.8 Installing GBIC Interfaces Instructions for installing, removing, and maintaining GBIC interfaces are provided in this section. Note: Auto-negotiation must be disabled on a port where a copper GBIC is installed. Important! The 35160-G has 12 GBIC ports that are paired—port numbers 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 10 and 12, and 14 and 16. Do not use more than one copper GBIC module per pair, or no more than 6 copper GBIC modules total. 2.8.1 Installing a GBIC Note: GBICs are hot-swappable.
2.8.3 GBIC Care and Handling Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines: • • • • Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to its premature failure. A GBIC connector has a lifetime of 100 to 500 removals/insertions GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures GBICs are dust-sensitive.
2.10 Connecting Power Important! Carefully review the power requirements (Chapter 2.3) before connecting power to the unit. Use the following procedure to connect power to the switch: 1. 2. Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the power connector on the back of the unit. Plug the other end into a grounded AC outlet. The power LED will begin its initialization process. The front panel LEDs blink and the power LED illuminates when it has initialized.
Note: This switch has no uplink port. All 10/100/1000 ports on this switch are auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X. This advanced feature means that the 10/100/1000 ports will automatically determine whether the device at the other end of the link is a hub, switch, or workstation, and adjust its signals accordingly. Although 10BaseT requires only pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, Asanté strongly recommends cables with all 8 pins wired as shown in the following table.
2.11.2 GBIC Gigabit Ethernet Ports Cabling Procedures Cabling requirements for the GBIC Gigabit Ethernet modules depend on the type of GBIC interface installed. Use the following guidelines to determine the cabling requirements for your GBIC: • • • • • • 1000BaseSX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 62.
Setup Guide
Appendix A Troubleshooting In the unlikely event that your network does not operate properly, follow the troubleshooting tips below: 1. 2. 3. CHECK YOUR POWER CONNECTION. Is the Power LED on? If not, plug the power cord into another known working AC outlet. CHECK YOUR NETWORK C ABLES. Are the LINK LEDs on? If not, check the cable connections. Are the connectors seated correctly in each port? Make sure that the correct type of cable is connected to each port. CHECK YOUR GBIC CONNECTORS.
