Chapter 1 Features Overview The 8-slot and 16-slot Enterasys Networks XP-8000 and XP-8600 provide non-blocking, wire-speed Layer-2 (switching), Layer-3 (routing) and Layer-4 (application) switching. This chapter provides a basic overview of the XP-8000 and XP-8600 software and hardware feature set. • If you want to skip this information and install the XP now, see Chapter 2, Hardware Installation.
Specifications Specifications The XP provides wire-speed switching and full non-blocking throughput. The hardware provides wire-speed performance regardless of the performance monitoring, filtering, and Quality of Service (QoS) features enabled by the software. You do not need to accept performance compromises to run QoS or access control lists (ACLs). The following table lists the basic hardware and software specifications for the XP.
Specifications Feature Specification Bridging and VLAN protocols • 802.1d Spanning Tree • 802.1Q (VLAN trunking) Media interface protocols • 802.3 (10Base-T) • 802.3u (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX) • 802.3x (1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX) • 802.3z (1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX) • Layer-2 prioritization (802.
Specifications This guide and other XP documentation refers to the XP’s Layer-2 (L2), Layer-3 (L3), and Layer-4 (L4) switching and routing. These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The XP operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that Layer 2 is divided into an LLC layer and a MAC layer. The XP operates at the MAC layer but not the LLC layer.
Features Features This section describes the following XP features: • Address-based and flow-based bridging • Port-based VLANs and protocol-based VLANs • IP and IPX routing • Layer-4 (application) switching • Security • Quality of Service (QoS) • Statistics • Management Bridging The XP provides the following types of wire-speed bridging: • Address-based bridging – The XP performs this type of bridging by looking up the destination address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that receive
Features Port and Protocol VLANs The XP supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs): • Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a set of ports that comprises a Layer-2 broadcast domain. The XP confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which the broadcast originates. XP ports outside the VLAN do not receive the broadcast. • Protocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that comprises an IP or IPX broadcast domain.
Features IP Routing The XP supports the following IP unicast routing protocols: • RIP v1 and RIP v2 • OSPF v2 • BGP 2,3,4 IP interfaces do not use a specific routing protocol by default. When you configure an interface for routing, you also specify the routing protocol the interface will use. IP Multicast Routing The XP supports the following IP multicast routing protocols: • IGMP • DVMRP The XP does not use a specific IP Multicast routing protocol by default.
Features the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX). You can therefore manage and control individual flows between hosts on an individual application basis. A single host can have many individual Layer-4 entries in the XP. For example, an IP host might have separate Layer-4 application entries for E-mail, FTP, HTTP, and so on, or separate Layer-4 flow entries for specific E-mail destinations and for specific FTP and Web connections.
Hardware Overview You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic: • Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p) • Layer-3 source-destination flows • Layer-4 source-destination flows • Layer-4 application flows Statistics The XP can provide extensive statistical data on demand.

Installing the Hardware 76 Enterasys Xpedition 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
Chapter 3 Software Installation and Setup This chapter provides the following Enterasys Xpedition (XP) software installation and basic setup procedures: • Installing the PC flash card (if you are upgrading from the software version on the XP’s boot flash) • Powering on the XP and booting the software • Starting the Command Line Interface (CLI) • Using the CLI to add an IP interface, subnet mask, and default gateway for remote management access • Setting up passwords • Setting up an SNMP community
Installing a PC Flash Card Installing a PC Flash Card The control module PC flash card contains a version of the system image software that is installed at the factory. If you have a more recent system image and want to boot the XP using the newer software, you must boot either from a PC card or from a TFTP server. To install a PC card: 1. Power off the XP. You cannot install or remove a PC card while the XP is running. 2. Insert the PC card into either of the slots on the control module.
Powering On and Booting the Software – Run the following command to display the boot log and look for the messages shown in the example above: system show bootlog Note: If the message “SYS-E-NOFLASHCARD” appears, the system has not detected a PC card. Check to ensure that the card is properly inserted, then reboot. If the system still does not recognize the card, contact Enterasys Networks. (See Technical Support on page 101.
Starting the Command Line Interface Access Modes The XP CLI has four access modes. • User – Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but does not allow you to display SNMP, filter, and access control list information or make other configuration changes. You are in User mode when the command prompt ends with the “>”character. • Enable – Allows you to display SNMP, filter, and access control information as well as all the information you can display in User mode.
Starting the Command Line Interface Basic Line Editing Commands The CLI supports Emacs-like line editing commands. The following table lists some commonly used commands. For a complete set of commands, see the The TeraLink 2000 Series Library: User Reference.
Setting the Basic System Information Setting the 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) • IP address for the management port on the control module Note: Some of the commands in this procedure accept a string value. String values can be up to a maximum of 255 characters in length including blank spaces.
Setting the Basic System Information 5. Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface. The en0 Ethernet interface is used by the management port on the control module. Here is an example: ssr(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16 Note: 6. The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the management port on the control module.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings Note: 9. If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z), the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the changes in the scratchpad active.
Setting Up SNMP Community Strings Use the following procedure to add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps. 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. 3. Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for the traps.
Setting Up Passwords Community Table: Index Community String Privilege 1. public READ-WRITE SNMP statistics: 247019 packets received 246346 get requests 745 get-next requests 184 get-bulk requests 50 set requests 0 bad SNMP versions 1 bad community names 0 ASN.1 parse errors 0 PDUs too big 247018 packets sent 246346 get responses 745 get-next responses 184 get-bulk responses 50 set responses 7.
Setting Up Passwords The default password for each access level is blank. (Simply press Enter or Return without entering a password.) If you want to add password protection to the CLI, use the following procedure. 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. 3. Type the following command for each password you want to set: system set password login|enable |none 4.
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 does not have a command for displaying passwords.
Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address 5. Enter the following command to specify the domain name for which the DNS server(s) have authority: system set dns domain where is the domain name (for example: mktg.mrb.com). 6. Enter the following command to “add” the DNS server to the XP: system set dns server [,[,]] where is the IP address of the DNS server. You can specify up to three DNS servers. Separate the server IP addresses with commas.
Setting the SYSLOG Parameters Setting the SYSLOG Parameters The CLI can use SYSLOG messages to communicate the following types of messages to a SYSLOG server: • Fatal – Provide information about events that caused the XP to crash and reset. • Error – Provide information about errors. • 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.
Setting the SYSLOG Parameters 5. 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 show output. Here is an example. Notice that the other configuration changes made during this CLI session also are listed. Active changes are listed in the “Running system configuration section” and unactivated changes are listed in the “Noncommitted changes in Scratchpad” section.
Loading the System Image Software Loading the System Image Software By default, the XP boots using the system image software installed on the control module’s PC flash card. To upgrade the system software and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure. 1.
Loading the Boot PROM Software Here is an example: ssr# system image choose xp401 Making image xp401 the active image for next reboot 6. Use the system image list command to verify the change. Note: You do not need to activate this change. Loading the Boot PROM Software The XP boots using the boot PROM software installed on the control module’s internal memory. To upgrade the boot PROM software and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure. 1.
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 the 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.
Activating the Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File The new configuration changes are added to the Startup configuration file stored in the control module’s boot flash. Viewing the Current Configuration If you want to view the current configuration: 1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI. 2.

If the resolution does not remove the difficulty or it is not listed in this appendix, see Appendix B for information about contacting Enterasys Networks for technical support. If You Experience This Difficulty... Try this Remedy...
If You Experience This Difficulty... Try this Remedy... The control module is not active. Check the power cable and the circuit to which the power supply is connected. If the power supply is working, make sure the control module is inserted all the way into its slot in the chassis and the captive screws are screwed in. The control module must be in the or /1 slot and not in a line card slot. 98 No line cards are active. Check the power cable and the circuit to which the power supply is connected.
If You Experience This Difficulty... Try this Remedy... The XP is not resolving DNS names. Use the procedure in Setting the DNS Domain Name and Address on page 88 to set up DNS. If you have already performed this procedure, make sure you can use NS lookup on the DNS server to get the default domain. An SNMP manager cannot access the XP. Use the procedure in Setting Up SNMP Community Strings on page 84 to set up an SNMP community string and specify a target for SNMP traps.
