2 Installation precautions CAUTION Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40ºC (104ºF). CAUTION Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted. CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the device with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. CAUTION Never leave tools inside the device.
Installation precautions 2 Power precautions CAUTION Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord for redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. DANGER Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device, depending on the number of AC power supplies installed in the device. DANGER Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
2 Installation precautions CAUTION Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers 2 CAUTION For the NEBS-compliant installation of Brocade MLXe-32, routers with AC and DC systems, use a ground wire of at least 2 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground wire should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other end attached to building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected to both ground screws on the enclosure.
2 Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers Installation procedure When installing modules, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router chassis or other suitable ground. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor. 1. Upgrade the software on all management modules and interface modules to Multi-Service IronWare R05.6.00 or later.
Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers 2 4. Remove the two connector covers from the rear connectors of the module. Refer to Figure 32. 5. Remove the port cover from one or both ports, depending on how you plan to use your module. If you are using one port only (always Port 1), you must leave the port cover in the inactive port (always Port 2). Port covers are designed for a tight fit and will take some effort to remove. Refer to Figure 32.
2 Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in Brocade MLX routers NOTE The 2x100G interface module is sensitive to dust and debris. Keep the optics covers in place until you are ready to connect the fiber cable. Clean all fiber cables properly before you connect them to the 2x100G interface module.

Chapter Connecting a Router to a Network Device 5 Assigning permanent passwords DANGER The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel. By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, it is strongly recommended that you assign passwords. The CLI contains the following access levels: • Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.
5 Configuring IP addresses Brocade# configure terminal Brocade(config)# Syntax: configure terminal 3. Enter the enable super-user-password command to set the super-user password. Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password mustang Syntax: enable super-user password NOTE You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords. 4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords.
Configuring IP addresses 5 • To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits. Assigning an IP address to a management interface Instead of assigning a global IP address to the router for system management purposes, you must assign an IP address to the active management module.
5 Configuring IP addresses Assigning IP addresses to an interface, virtual interface, or loopback interface You must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you can also use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface.
Understanding management port functions 5 Enabling and disabling the interfaces By default, all router interfaces are disabled. To enable an interface, enter the enable command at the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management interface, enter the enable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI.
5 Connecting the router to a network device Installing a fiber-optic transceiver To connect a router to another network device using a fiber port, install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or XFP, as required by your interface module). DANGER All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers. NOTE Refer to “Installation precautions” on page 41 for other hardware installation precautions.
Connecting the router to a network device 5 For 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM interfaces only, configure full C-band tunable optics as shown below. To configure a physical port, enter a command such as the following. Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1)# tunable-optic sfpp channel 5 Syntax: tunable-optic sfpp channel [show] To configure a LAG port, enter a command such as the following.

Chapter Managing Routers and Modules 6 Managing the device You can perform these management tasks for the router: • • • • Enable and disable a DC power source, if necessary. Display status and temperatures of all hardware components. Display the Syslog configuration and static and dynamic buffers. Disable and re-enable power to interface modules.
6 Managing the device • slot-number disables power to the interface module in the specified slot. You can specify 1-4 for 4-slot routers, 1-8 for 8-slot routers, 1-16 for 16-slot routers, and 1-32 for 32-slot routers. NOTE There is a 10 second delay between the power-off lp command and the power-on lp command. Wait 10 seconds between commands.
Managing the device 6 • Severity of the failure: major or minor • MUX index number: - 0-1 - there are total of 2 MUX indexes in NetIron XMR 32000 and Brocade MLX-32 devices. - The MUX index is always zero in 4-, 8-, and 16-slot NetIron XMR or Brocade MLX devices • MUX tap number: - 0-7 - there are total of 8 MUX taps connected to a MUX device.
6 Managing the device If an I2C failure has not occurred, there will be no I2C messages in the static log, dynamic log, or SNMP log server. The following example shows output from the show logging command when there is no I2C failure.
Managing the device 6 To display this information, enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI.
6 Managing the device TABLE 31 show chassis command output (Continued) Field Description Power status Indicates whether an AC or DC power supply is installed in the specified power supply slot and the status of the power supply, which can be one of the following: • Installed (Shutdown)-The power supply has shut down. A power supply will shut down due to flapping, or if a shut down is enabled manually using the power-off power-supply command. Refer to “Enabling a power supply shutdown” on page 273.
Managing the device TABLE 31 6 show chassis command output (Continued) Field Description SNM number The temperature of the switch fabric module. LP number The temperature of the interface module. Temperature Monitoring Poll Period The interval at which the system reads the temperature sensor on the management, switch fabric, interface, and fan control modules. MAC address Backplane EEPROM MAC Address The MAC address of the device.
6 Managing the device Static and dynamic buffers The software provides a static buffer and a dynamic buffer: • Static – logs power supply failures, fan failures, and temperature warning or shutdown messages • Dynamic – logs all other message types. In previous releases, power supply messages were displayed in static logs only, with only the last event logged. Beginning with release 03.8.00, power supply messages are displayed in both static and dynamic logs.
Managing the device 6 MP Presence from LP Detection (Headless Router Operation) On entering a state where the MPs go down, the chassis enters a headless state. The LPs are unaware of the MP’s state and continue to perform. Hardware flooding traffic is processed and traffic is dropped that needs to pass through the MP. To avoid this situation, the LP maintains the MP state and brings itself down in case no MPs are present as shown in Table 33.
6 Managing the device MP presence is toggled when you enter the ipc toggle mp-presence command. Active MP presence is displayed for the LP as shown in Table 35. TABLE 35 Operations for LP and Port LED Status Operation LP Status 1 2 Power off the LP. Remove and insert the Active MP. Reboot Place the LP in interactive mode. Remove and insert the Active MP. Reboot Disable all LP ports administratively. Remove and insert the Active MP.
Managing switch fabric modules 6 FPGA Image Mismatch A version mismatch between FPGA applications and hardware results in system failure and continuous reboot on every module initialization failure. The Rolling Reboot feature places the line card into the interactive or down state mode on detection of an FPGA version mismatch. This feature will detect the incompatibility between application FPGA version and Hardware FPGA version and put the card into down state if there is mismatch.
6 Managing switch fabric modules The system selects the operating mode for switch fabric modules at startup, or when the first switch fabric or interface module is installed. The system uses this mode for all modules that are subsequently installed. HSF modules will boot in Turbo mode only if all active interface modules are G2 modules. In a chassis loaded with G1 and G2 modules, the HSF modules will default to Normal mode.
Managing the cooling system 6 Managing the cooling system This section provides configuration, management, and monitoring information about router cooling systems. Configuring the cooling system Your router is pre-configured with default settings for all cooling system parameters.
6 Managing the cooling system • If the temperature of a management module, switch fabric module, or one interface module exceeds the high threshold specified for a fan speed, the fan changes to the next higher speed. If the temperature of any of the modules exceeds the high threshold for the high speed, the router shuts down the modules to prevent damage. The router also sends a warning message to the system log and an SNMP trap.

6 Managing interface modules Details about how to set temperature thresholds and default threshold values are described in the “Configuring the cooling system” on page 235 Configuring temperature logging The temp log-threshold command sets the temperature logging threshold to send a single message whenever any of the thresholds are crossed.
Managing interface modules 6 If you copy the primary or secondary image to all interface modules using the copy command with the all keyword, the management module makes a copy of the file and stores it in code flash under the names lp-primary-0 or lp-secondary-0. The images are stored in this location only and are not run by the management module or the interface modules.
6 Managing interface modules Specifying an immediate shutdown The management module takes approximately 16-20 seconds to shutdown all interface modules in a device after a reload is issued. During this time, the interface module continues sending packets. Enter the lp fast-powerdown command to immediately shut down all interface modules in a device after a reload is issued.
Managing interface modules 6 Specifying an immediate boot from the auxiliary flash slots on the management module To specify an immediate boot for the interface module installed in slot 1 from the auxiliary flash slot on the management module, enter the lp boot system command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
6 Managing interface modules • The filename parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the interface module. • The slot-number parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot. You can specify 1 – 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 – 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 – 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 – 32 for 32-slot devices.
Managing interface modules 6 Syntax: lp boot system mp [primary | secondary] [all | ] • The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary image in flash memory on the management module. • The all | slot-number parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the device, or to an interface module in the specified device slot number only.
6 Managing interface modules After you enter this command, the system enters monitor mode on the interface module. To boot from the primary image in flash memory on the interface module, enter the following command at the monitor prompt. LP MONITOR> boot system flash primary (What about the monitor prompt?) Syntax: boot system flash primary Changing priority of slots for interface modules You can prioritize the slots in which the interface modules are installed. The priority range is 1 (low) – 8 (high).
Monitoring Link Status 6 NOTE There is a 10 second delay between the power-off lp command and the power-on lp command. Wait 10 seconds between commands. Brocade# power-on lp 1 To re-enable power on all interface modules, enter the following command. Brocade# power-on lp all In this output example, there is one interface module in slot 3 and slot 3 is powered on. Brocade# power-on lp all Slot 3 is powering on.

Using alarms to collect and monitor device status 6 Using alarms to collect and monitor device status Beginning in Brocade NetIron R05.3.00, the software keeps two logs; one of hardware status currently available to the system, and another of hardware status history. The current alarm log keeps only entries for current information; when a hardware status is no longer valid, the entry is cleared. The alarm history log keeps a record of hardware statuses even after the status has changed.
6 Using alarms to collect and monitor device status Brocade# no alarm history 100 Configuring alarm logging You can configure the system to log only specific level alarms for specific devices using the alarm command. The configuration setting applies to both logs, the current and history alarm logs. The level you set is the minimum level of alarms that will be logged. For example, if you set the configuration to log a minimum of minor level events, all minor, major and critical events will be logged.
