Chapter 1 Features Overview The Enterasys Networks XP-2000 provides non-blocking, high-speed Layer-2 (switching), Layer-3 (routing), and Layer-4 (application) switching. This chapter provides a basic overview of the XP2000 software and hardware feature set. • If you want to skip this information and install the XP-2000 now, see Chapter 2, Hardware Installation. • If you want to boot the XP-2000 software and perform basic configuration tasks now, see Chapter 3, Firmware Installation and Setup.
Specifications The following table lists the basic hardware and software specifications for the XP-2000. Table 1. Basic hardware and software specifications Feature Throughput Specification • 8.0-Gbps non-blocking switching fabric • 6.
Features that are not shaded. Notice that Layer-2 is divided into an LLC layer and a MAC layer. The XP2000 operates at the MAC layer but not the LLC layer. Layer 7 Application Layer 6 Presentation Layer 5 Session Layer 4 TCP/UDP - application Layer 3 IP/IPX - routing Layer 2 LLC Layer 2 MAC -bridging Layer 1 Physical Interfaces TCP/UDP Services The following table lists some well known TCP/UDP services provided by the XP-2000. Table 2.
Features • Statistics • Management Bridging The XP-2000 provides the following types of high-speed bridging: • Address-based bridging – The XP-2000 performs this type of bridging by looking up the destination address in an L2 lookup table on the expansion module that receives the bridge packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet is addressed to the XP-2000’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged.
Features • Internet Protocol (IP) – the protocol switching and routing devices use for moving traffic within the Internet and within many corporate intranets. • Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) – a protocol by Novell used in Netware products. Note: All other protocols that require routing must be tunneled using IP. By default, the XP-2000 uses one MAC address for all interfaces.
Features • IPX SAP – the Service Advertisement Protocol, which allows hosts attached to an IPX network to reach printers, file servers, and other services By default, IPX routing is enabled on the XP-2000 when an IPX interface is created. Layer-4 Switching In addition to Layer-2 bridging and Layer-3 routing, the XP-2000 performs Layer-4 switching. Layer-4 switching is based on applications and flows.
Features Quality of Service Although the XP-2000 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the XP2000 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity. The XP-2000 QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low.

Chapter 3 Firmware Installation and Setup This chapter provides the following firmware installation and basic setup procedures: • Powering on and booting the firmware • Starting the Command Line Interface (CLI) • Setting basic system information • Setting up SNMP community strings • Setting up passwords • Setting the DNS domain name and address • Setting SYSLOG parameters • Loading system image firmware • Loading the boot PROM firmware • Activating configuration changes and saving the con
Starting the Command Line Interface 2. Plug the XP-2000’s power supplies into a power source. If the power source is active, the router will automatically power on and attempt to boot using the Boot Firmware image in the motherboard’s boot flash. As it boots, the router performs a minimal hardware check and searches for a valid System Firmware image. If a valid image is available, it is loaded onto the router and booted up.
Starting the Command Line Interface When you are in Configure or Enable mode, use the exit command or press Ctrl+Z to exit to the previous access mode. Note: When you exit Configure mode, the CLI will ask you whether you want to activate the configuration commands you have issued. If you enter yes or y, the configuration commands you issued are placed into effect and the XP-2000’s configuration is changed accordingly.
Setting Basic System Information Setting Basic System Information Use the procedure in this section to set the following system information: • System time and date • System name • System location • Contact name (the person to contact regarding this XP-2000) Note: Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value. String values can be up a maximum of 255 characters in length, including blank spaces.
Setting Basic System Information 5. Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface, as shown in the following example: xp(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16 Note: 6. The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the XP-2000’s management port.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings 9. To display the active configuration, enter the system show active-config command, as shown in the following example: xp-1# system show active-config Running system configuration: ! ! Last modified from Console on Mon May 15 11:55:35 200 ! 1 : system set name “xp-1” 2 : system set location “Sunnyvale, CA” 3 : system set contact “John Smith” Changes in the active configuration take effect on the running system but will not be restored following a reboot. 10.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings 3. Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for the traps. snmp set community privilege read snmp set target community Note: The target IP address must be locally attached to the XP-2000. You cannot specify a target that is connected to the XP-2000 by another router.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings Here is an example of the commands and output for configuring SNMP and saving the changes. xp-1# config xp-1(config)# snmp set community public privilege read-only xp-1(config)# snmp set target 10.50.11.12 community public xp-1(config)# save active xp-1(config)# exit xp-1# snmp show all SNMP Agent status: enabled mode SNMP Last 2 Clients: 10.50.100.53 Mon May 14 10:31:27 2001 10.50.100.43 Mon May 14 10:31:22 2001 SNMP Chassis Identity: not configured.
Setting Up Passwords Setting Up Passwords You can password protect CLI access to the XP-2000 by setting up passwords for login access and Enable access. Users who have a login password but not an Enable password can use only the commands available in User mode. Users with an Enable password can use the commands available in Enable and Configure modes as well as the commands in User mode.
Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address Caution: Test all the new passwords before saving the active configuration to the Startup configuration file. As shown in the example above, the passwords are shown in the active configuration in an encrypted format and will also appear this way in the Startup configuration. To keep your passwords secure, the XP-2000 does not have a command for displaying passwords.
Setting SYSLOG Parameters 6. Use the following command to “add” one or more DNS servers to the XP-2000: system set dns server ["] [] []["] where is the IP address of the DNS server. You can specify up to three DNS servers. Note: 7. If you specify more than one IP address, you must separate the addresses with a space and surround them with a single pair of quotes. You do not need to surround a single IP address with quotes.
Setting SYSLOG Parameters • Warning – Provide warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions that are not necessarily errors. This is the default. • Informational – Provide informational messages such as status messages. The SYSLOG messages that the XP-2000 displays while booting the firmware and reading the startup configuration file are examples of Informational messages. The XP-2000 writes the SYSLOG messages to a SYSLOG daemon on UDP port 514.
Setting SYSLOG Parameters Use the following procedure to specify the SYSLOG server and the types of messages you want the CLI to log on the server. 1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI. 2. Use the following command to verify that the XP-2000 can reach the SYSLOG server by pinging the server: ping 3. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI. 4.
Loading System Image Firmware 6. Enter the show command to show the commands you just entered. Because you have not activated these configuration changes yet, they are listed in the scratchpad section of the output. Here is an example: xp-1(config)# show Running system configuration: ! ! Last modified from Console on Mon May 14 12:37:21 2001 ! 1 : interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16 ! 2 : system set dns server 10.50.11.12 3 : system set dns domain mktg.company.
Loading System Image Firmware 2. Copy the firmware upgrade you want to install onto a TFTP server that the XP-2000 can access. (Use the ping command to verify that the XP can reach the TFTP server.) 3. Use the following command to copy the firmware upgrade onto the internal flash chip in the XP-2000: system image add Here is an example: xp-1# system image add tftp-server 10.50.11.
Loading System Image Firmware Here is an example: xp-1# system image choose E9050-image Making image E9050-image (version E9.0.5.0) the active image for next reboot on Master CM . . . %SYS-I-CHS_PRIMARY_OK, image successfully chosen on Primary CM 6. Enter the system image list command to verify the change. xp-1# system image list Images currently available on Master CM: E9050-image (version E9.0.5.0) [selected for next boot] Note: 58 You do not need to activate this change.
Loading Boot PROM Firmware Loading Boot PROM Firmware The XP boots using the boot PROM firmware installed in the XP-2000’s internal memory. To upgrade the boot PROM firmware and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure. Note: 1. X-Pedition routers use two versions of the boot PROM Firmware—one for the XP-2000 line and another for the X-Pedition 8000/8600 and ER16 lines. When you install a new boot PROM image, check the version before you begin.
Upgrading the VFS Upgrading the VFS A VFS file system called VFS2 is available. VFS2 dramatically decreases the time required for deleting and adding system images. Note: Upgrading the file system to VFS2 will not erase your configuration image. The VFS2 file system is only compatible with: • boot PROM version v.1.1.0.8 • system image version 3.1 or later To upgrade the VFS file system to VFS2, perform the following steps: 1. Upgrade the firmware to release version 3.1 or later. 2.
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad The configuration commands you have entered using procedures in this chapter are in the Scratchpad but have not yet been activated. Use the following procedure to activate the configuration commands in the scratchpad: 1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI. 2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File 1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI. 2. Enter the following command to display the status of each command line: system show active-config The CLI displays the active configuration file with the following possible annotations: – Commands without errors are displayed without any annotation. – Commands with errors are annotated with an “E”.
