Connect the AC power cord to the front of the switch, and then

plug the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet.

Note: You will need two power cords if you have installed a

redundant PSU.

Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the VSP

4450GTX-HT-PWR+ Series switch and the power receptacle

type in your country.

Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure

the PWR LED is lit. If not, check whether the power cord is

plugged in correctly. The switch will power on immediately

when it is connected to a suitable AC power source.

Note: Before installing, ensure that the VSP 4450GTX-HT-PWR+

switch is operating normally. Verify that the SFP or SFP+

transceivers and network cabling support your network

configuration.

1. Select transceivers (SFP/SFP+) that are rated for

temperatures of 85°C.

2. Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.

3. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the

network configuration.

4. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.

5. Insert the transceiver into the proper SFP/SFP+ slot on the

switch as illustrated. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver

until it clicks and locks into position in the slot.

Console port cabling specifications

Ready to send (RTS) — optional

Data terminal ready (DTR) —

optional, can swap or link with pin 8

Transmit data (TXD) — mandatory

Carrier detect (DCD) — optional

Ground (GND) — mandatory

Receive data (RXD) — mandatory

Data set ready (DSR) — optional

Note: In the following procedure you create a VLAN with

ID 20 and name ExtremeNetworks.

1. Create a VLAN:

VSP-4450GTX-HT-PWR+(config)#vlan create 20 name

ExtremeNetworks type port-mstprstp 0

2. Add VLAN members:

VSP-4450GTX-HT-PWR+(config)#vlan members add 20 1/4

3. Configure a management IP interface for the VLAN

(for example, 192.0.2.85):

VSP-4450GTX-HT-PWR+(config)#interface vlan 20

VSP-4450GTX-HT-PWR+(config)#ip address

192.0.2.85 255.255.255.0

1. Connect the console cable from the terminal to the console

port of the switch to allow initial configuration. Any terminal

or PC with the appropriate terminal emulator can be used

as the management station.

2. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal

emulation program to VT100 or VT100/ANSI.

3. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal

emulation application.

RJ-45/DB-9

CONSOLE CABLE

The VSP 4450GTX-HT-PWR+ has an

RJ-45 female connector, so a serial

cable with RJ-45 connectors, or a

serial cable with a DB-9 female

connector on one end and an RJ-45

on the other is required.

The maximum length for the console

port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).

Converts DB-9 male to RJ-45 serial

port. The adaptor can be used for PC

or device with DB-9 male console

port. Also, can be used with

Category 5 RJ-45 straight cable to

provide console connection.

On your VSP 4450GTX-HT-PWR+ switch, the console port is

the RJ-45 port outlined with a blue border and marked 10101,

on the front of your switch (note the side orientation). Use an

RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to

your management terminal. Use adaptors to provide different

connection options. The maximum length of a console cable is

25 feet (8.3 meters). The following tables describe the RJ-45

and DB-9 console port pin-out information. You can use the

pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use

with your maintenance terminal.
