1 Overview of the ReachNXT 100-8t Port Extender This chapter describes the Extreme Networks® ReachNXT™ 100-8t ExtremeXOS® port extender.
Overview of the ReachNXT 100-8t Port Extender Users can connect their laptops to ports on the ReachNXT 100-8t to gain access to the network. The ReachNXT 100-8t aggregates traffic from the connected users and sends the traffic to an uplinked ExtremeXOS switch located elsewhere (for example, in a wiring closet). The ReachNXT 100-8t communicates with the uplinked switch using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
Monitoring the ReachNXT 100-8t Monitoring the ReachNXT 100-8t When the ReachNXT 100-8t is operational, it is visible in your network either from the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch or using EPICenter network management software. The ReachNXT 100-8t sends LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) to the uplinked switch every 30 seconds. The LLDPDUs contain type-length-value elements (TLVs) for Chassis ID, Port ID, TTL, System Name, and System Description.

2 Installing the ReachNXT 100-8t This chapter describes how to install the ReachNXT 100-8t port extender and configure the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch to detect and initialize the port extender.
Installing the ReachNXT 100-8t Insert the locking device into the Kensington lock slot on the ReachNXT 100-8t rear panel (Figure 4), then turn it in the locking direction. Figure 4: Kensington Lock Slot on the ReachNXT 100-8t Rear Panel Kensington lock slot RCH_006 4 If the ReachNXT 100-8t will be powered using AC power, connect the unit as follows: a Connect the optional AC adapter to the power socket on the ReachNXT 100-8t (labeled PWR).
Using the Magnet Mounting Kit Figure 5: Magnet Slots on the ReachNXT 100-8t Bottom Panel Magnet slots Rubber pad positions RCH_001 1 If the ReachNXT 100-8t will be mounted on a non-metallic surface, attach the mounting plate to the installation location, using the supplied screws and anchors. 2 Attach the magnets to the bottom panel of the ReachNXT 100-8t, as follows: a On each magnet, twist the mounting tab counter-clockwise two full turns (see Figure 6).
Installing the ReachNXT 100-8t Configuring the ExtremeXOS Switch Software To initialize the ReachNXT 100-8t, perform the following steps on the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch: 1 If the ReachNXT 100-8t will be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch, configure PoE on the uplinked switch, using the following commands: ● enable inline-power (enabled by default) ● show inline-power ● configure inline-power For more information about configuring PoE, refer to the ExtremeXOS
3 Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware This chapter describes the ReachNXT 100-8t firmware upgrade process. It includes the following sections: ● Background on page 15 ● ExtremeXOS-Based Upgrade on page 15 ● Network-Based Upgrade on page 18 Background The ReachNXT 100-8t firmware can be upgraded from the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch (ExtremeXOSbased upgrade) or through a server running DHCP (or BootP) and TFTP (network-based upgrade). The ReachNXT 100-8t supports receiving of the VLAN Name TLV.
Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware ReachNXT 100-8t to download the new image. Following a successful download, the ReachNXT 100-8t reboots and runs from the new image. The ReachNXT 100-8t performs a checksum calculation to verify the image download. If the image download fails for any reason, the ReachNXT 100-8t does not use the new image but continues running from the current image.
ExtremeXOS-Based Upgrade Triggering the Upgrade on the ReachNXT 100-8t The following are triggers for the ReachNXT upgrade. Because of limits on the number of concurrent TFTP sessions the ExtremeXOS switch can support, Extreme Networks recommends that no more than eight ReachNXT 100-8t units be upgraded at the same time from a single ExtremeXOS switch. If a firmware upgrade fails to complete, the upgrade can be triggered again.
Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware To uninstall the ReachNXT XMOD package from the ExtremeXOS switch, use the uninstall command. For example: # uninstall image summitX-12.2.1.1-reach-1.6.1.6.xmod secondary Uninstallation of the EXOS module Do you want to save configuration changes to currently selected configuration file (primary.cfg)? (y or n) Yes Saving configuration on master .......
Network-Based Upgrade Verifying the ReachNXT 100-8t Connection and Firmware Version Use the show lldp neighbors detailed command to report information about the connected ReachNXT 100-8t and its current firmware version. The firmware version is indicated on the System Description line, following the model name. In the following example, the firmware version 1.4.1.4 is highlighted. X250e-24x.
Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware 6 Configure VLAN Name TLV advertisement for each port to which a ReachNXT 100-8t is connected. (LLDP should already be enabled.) For example: # configure lldp port 25 advertise vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name vlan ReachMgmt ReachNXT 100-8t and Upgrade Server on Different VLANs If the ReachNXT 100-8t and the upgrade server are on different VLANs, do the following to create and configure two VLANs for the upgrade.
Network-Based Upgrade Configuring the DHCP/BootP Server To configure the DHCP/BootP server: 1 Configure the DHCP/BootP server with an IP address on the same subnet as the ReachNXT upgrade VLAN configured on the ExtremeXOS switch. 2 Download the ReachNXT firmware image file from the Extreme Networks website, and move it to the /tftpboot directory of the TFTP server that will be used to distribute the file. The image file is named according to the following format: Reach_100_8t_w.x.y.z.bin, where w.x.y.
Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware Verifying the Upgrade After the firmware has been upgraded, use the show lldp neighbors detailed CLI command to verify that the new firmware version is installed.
4 Troubleshooting This chapter describes techniques for troubleshooting the installation of the ReachNXT 100-8t port extender. It includes the following sections: ● Checking LLDP Status on page 23 ● Checking Power over Ethernet Status on page 23 ● Viewing EMS Messages on page 24 Checking LLDP Status The ReachNXT 100-8t uses LLDP to communicate with the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch. It operates only when it detects an ExtremeXOS switch connected to its uplink port via LLDP.
Troubleshooting To check the PoE status for a slot on an ExtremeXOS switch, use the show inline-power command. For example: BD-8810.1 # show inline-power slot 10 Slot 10 Inline-Power Enabled Firmware Status Operational Budgeted Power (Watts) 50 W Measured Power (Watts) 6 W Legacy Disabled To show detailed PoE information for a specific port, use the CLI command show inline-power info detail. For example: BD-8810.
