2 About this Guide
1 Installing the Hardware This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis. Installing the S2410 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet There are two models of the S2410 switch.
Attaching Mounting Brackets S2410 systems have no stacking or other optional modules, so, to install the S2410 system, you can simply install the system on a tabletop, in a rack, or in a cabinet, turn it on, and then connect ports. The S2410 is shipped with two universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears), which are contained in a bag with 3 Phillips screws for each rack ear. . Step 1 Task Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging.
Install chassis into 2-post rack or cabinet Step Task 1 Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the S2410 chassis in place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts. 2 Position the S2410 chassis in the rack. Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using the supplied screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly. fn00147as2410 NOTE: The rack ears supplied with the S2410 have a hole in the middle to accommodate the vent in the S2410.
CAUTION: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power sources would be on separate circuits.
Accessing CX4 Ports CX4 10G copper ports are pre-installed in the S2410CP. Using a CX4 port requires only the insertion, into the port, of the appropriate CX4 cable with the correct CX4 cable connector. Using a cable with a bail latch-type connector is simple: You push the connector into the port. To remove it, simply pull back on the bail latch. The S2410CP provides up to 1W per port for either active copper cables or optical-to-electrical converters.
No portion of the back shell nor any latching mechanism on the diminutive side of the trapezoidal CX4 connector nozzle shall extend more than 0.230 inches from the connector centerline parallel to that side. No portion of the back shell nor any latching mechanism on the opposite side of the trapezoidal connector nozzle shall extend more than 0.375 inches from the connector centerline parallel to that side. No portion of the back shell nor any latching mechanism shall extend more than 0.
Step Task 1 Position the XFP so it is in the upright position (XFPs on the bottom (even-numbered ports) are upside down; odd-numbered ports (on top) install right-side up), with the bail latch on top in the closed position, as shown here. For details on XFP installation, see the instruction that accompanies the XFP. 2 Insert the XFP gently into the port until it snaps into place. (The design of the XFP prevents it from seating incorrectly.

12 Installing the Hardware
2 Installing the Software Navigating CLI Modes The SFTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you directly to Privileged EXEC mode; the exit command moves you up one command mode level.
Step 2 Task Set your initial console terminal settings to match the default console settings on the switch: 9600 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control (console port only) After establishing a connection, you can modify the settings to match at each end of the connection. 3 If you use the console port to download software to the switch, you will probably want to raise the console baud rate. Establish a connection with the default settings to verify the connection.
Table 2-1. Pin Assignments Between the Console and a DTE Terminal Server Console Port RJ-45 to DB-9 Adapter Signal Port Pinout NC 8 Accessing the Ethernet Management Port The S2410 includes the Ethernet Management port on the right front of the chassis (labeled 10/100 Ethernet) that is dedicated to switch management. With a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect it to any Ethernet port in your network through which you can access the switch via a Telnet, SSH, SNMP, or Web client.
Configure a Host Name If you have more than one individually managed S-Series switch, you can differentiate them by creating a unique CLI host name prompt for each switch. Use the hostname command, in Global Config mode, to edit the prompt. The host name is case-sensitive and can be up to 64 characters in length.
After you enable and connect ports in the management VLAN and configure the management IP address, as described above, you can manage the switch through a variety of means. Configuring an Interface with an IP Address NOTE: You must have the optional SFTOS Layer 3 Package installed to configure routing commands and to set IP addressing an interface. Use the show version command to determine what software is installed.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode 3 Invoke the (Config-if-ma)# prompt. interface managementethernet Global Config 4 Set the IP address and subnet mask of the management interface. ip address ipaddr subnetmask (Config-if-ma)# prompt within the Global Config mode NOTE: Creating a management IP address is supported by both the Layer 2 (Switching) and Layer 3 (Routing) licenses of SFTOS. By default, the management address is reachable from all ports on the default VLAN, VLAN 1.
Enabling Ports When the S2410 is first installed, all ports are disabled by default. You can use the no shutdown command for a specific interface (Interface Config mode). To enable all ports, enter no shutdown all in Global Config mode. Setting the IP Address for the Service Port The S2410 supports the Ethernet Management port (labeled 10/100 Ethernet and commonly called the service port). It is a dedicated management port (in addition to the console port and the virtual management port).
Setting the IP Address of the Virtual Management Port If you want to access the switch through Telnet, SSH, TFTP, or the SFTOS Web UI, you must set up the service port to configure an IP address that is accessible, by default, through ports in VLAN 1. You can also do both with separate IP addresses. Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode 1 Set the IP gateway of the management interface. management route default Global Config gateway 2 Invoke the (Config-if-ma)# prompt.
Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is off by default. First, you must enable STP globally. Next, enable STP on the desired ports. Using the CLI to enable STP, it is possible to enable spanning tree globally and on all the ports with just two commands. Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode 1 Enable STP globally. spanning-tree Config 2 Enable STP on all ports.
Step Task 2 Command Syntax To add tagged ports to the [no] tagged unit/slot/port VLAN, specify a single port in unit/slot/port format to add to the selected VLAN, or specify a sequential port range as unit/ slot/port-unit/slot/port. Command Mode Interface VLAN Specify a non-sequential port range as unit/slot/port, unit/slot/port,... Specify a LAG ID as an integer (List LAG IDs with show interface port-channel brief.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode ip routing Global Config 1 Enables routing for the switch. 2 Configures an IP address on an ip address interface. The IP address may be a secondary IP address. Interface Config IP configuration takes precedence over VLAN configuration on a port. Therefore, configuring an IP Address and routing on an interface disables participation in VLANs on that interface.
