CHAPTER 1 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide The Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 switch is a modular switch that supports up to four media modules. The table below describes the available modules. Available Modules per Chassis Available Ports per Chassis 1000Base-SX Switch Module 4 32 Eight-port full-duplex switched Gigabit Ethernet module 1000Base-LX/ 1000Base-SX Switch Module 4 32 Eight-port full-duplex switched Gigabit Ethernet module with four LX and four SX ports.
CHAPTER 1 Quick Start I/O Modules Control Processor Available Modules per Chassis Available Ports per Chassis 2 N/A Features per Slot Each contains one RS-232 (DB9) connector and one RJ-45 10/ 100 Ethernet management port. Module Installation Gigabit Ethernet Module To install a module 1 Remove the module from the carton. Warning Electrostatic Sensitive Device.
CHAPTER 1 8 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide 2 Carefully remove the module from the ESD protective bag and place it on a flat surface. 3 Remove the blank filler tray from any of the empty slot bays on the switch. 4 Lift up the module by placing both hands on the side of the module faceplate panel or underneath the card. 5 Carefully slide the module into the empty slot. 6 Push the module back until it connects with the backplane and the capture panel screws engage the chassis.

CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide Overview of the Gigabit Ethernet Modules The Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 switch has two Gigabit Ethernet modules. One is a 1000Base-SX card and the other is a 1000BaseLX/1000Base-SX card. 1000Base-SX Module The chassis can house up to four 1000SX Gigabit Ethernet modules. Each Gigabit Ethernet module has eight switched ports. Each port operates in full-duplex mode only, and can be put in autonegotiation mode for flow control parameters.
CHAPTER 2 Gigabit Ethernet Modules Gigabit Ethernet Configuration Link LED 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX 1000SX RX LED Status LED TX LED The Gigabit Ethernet module uses SC duplex connectors as defined by the IEC 87-419 standards. The table below describes the maximum cable length for the module. Cable Type Length 62.5 micron multimode 2 to 275 meters 6.56 to 902.2 feet 60 micron multimode 2 to 550 meters 6.56 to 1804.
CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide LED Color Definition Link Solid Green The Link LED is available on each port. The Link LED stays on while a good link is available. RX (Receive) Flashing Green The Receive LED is available on each port. It flashes on and off as frames are received. TX (Transmit) Flashing Green The Transmit LED flashes on and off as frame transmissions start and stop.
CHAPTER 2 Gigabit Ethernet Modules privileged mode. Refer to the Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 User Guide for instructions on entering privileged mode. You can configure any port as enabled (active and allowing data to pass) or disabled (inactive with no data transmission or reception). All ports are enabled by default. To disable a port, type disable port port_number. 6000 Switch>#>disable port 8 The table below describes the maximum cable length for the module. Port Type Cable Type Length 1000SX 62.

TX (Transmit) Flashing Green The Transmit LED flashes on and off as frame transmissions start and stop.
CHAPTER 2 Gigabit Ethernet Modules Symptom Possible Cause Link LED is not lit. Dirty optics. Active Link, cannot communicate with other stations from the user console. Course of Action Try different ports and reverse the cable Bad cable or incorrect (if possible). Replace cable adapter the cable. If replacing orientation. the cable fails to help, clean the optics. Auto-negotiation mode does not agree with remote link partner. Change autonegotiation mode for either link partner so that they agree.

CHAPTER 3 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide Overview of the Fast Ethernet Modules The Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 switch has two Fast Ethernet modules. One is a 100Base-TX card which can upgrade your Ethernet network to Fast Ethernet by supporting both 10Mbps and 100Mbps on each switched port. The other module is a 100Base-FX card which can directly upgrade your Ethernet network to 100Mbps. 10/100 Ethernet Module This module is a 24-port 100Base-TX Ethernet card.
CHAPTER 3 Fast Ethernet Modules The link configuration is stored in non-volatile memory. This allows the current setting to be restored upon the next reset. The set link port_number defaults command restores the factory default link settings to the switch. Type the non-privileged show link port_number command to display the current state of the link.
CHAPTER 3 Intel® NetStructure™ 6000 Switch Modules User Guide 10/100 Ethernet Troubleshooting Power-up Problems The following table is a quick guide to power-up problems, their possible cause, and a suggested course of action. 18 Symptom Possible Cause No Link LED after plugging in a cable. Bad or improper cable type. Check cable. 100Mbps link requires Category 5 cable. Hub-to-switch or switch-to-switch connection must be made with a “crossover” cable. Check patch cables especially.
CHAPTER 3 Fast Ethernet Modules Symptom Possible Cause No connectivity with a station on a switch port. No link. Link on 10/100 module is off. See “No Link LED” symptom above. Cable has just been moved from one port to another. Use the clear fdb command or wait until the aging time has expired if the destination is not generating traffic. The set agingtime command establishes the aging time. Spanning Tree has just been enabled. Wait 60 seconds for state to change to “forwarding.
