IG Note



Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Hardware Overview

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Hardware Overview

The ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 are available in four chassis types:

• 8003R (only supports R/RS-modules and rel. 7.0 and above)

• 8006

• 8010

• 8010co

All chassis are built using the same backplane architecture and use the same switch fabric andI/O modules. All power supplies and modules are hot-swappable.

Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 Chassis

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Chassis



8010 and 8006 Chassis

8010 and 8006 Chassis Layout

8010 and 8006 Chassis Layout

8010 Chassis

The ERS 8010 is a ten-slot chassis containing eight slots for I/O modules (slots 1-4 and slots7-10), and two slots for CPU/ SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the SF modules only.One CPU/SF module is required for operation.

If a second CPU/SF module is installed, it provides fail-over redundancy for the first CPU/SFmodule. In addition, the Silicon Switch Fabrics (SSFs) on both CPU/SF modules aresimultaneously active and therefore share the switching load for all the I/O module ports,increasing core switching capacity and throughput to provide non-blocking capabilities even with240 Gigabit Ethernet ports installed.

The 8010 also supports up to three load-sharing, redundant power supplies. Powerrequirements and power supplies are detailed later in this lesson.

The 8010 chassis houses two fan trays to provide cooling for the chassis, one for the top fiveslots and another for the bottom five slots. A high speed fan try is required when installing R/RSModules in the chassis. (DS1411017-E6 8010CMHS)

8006 Chassis

The 8006 has a six-slot chassis which contains four slots for I/O modules (slots 1-4), and twoslots for CPU/SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the CPU/SF modules only. OneCPU/SF module is required for operation.



The dual, redundant, load-sharing CPU/SF module capabilities mentioned above are alsoapplicable to the ERS 8006 chassis.

The 8006 also supports up to three load-sharing, redundant power supplies. Powerrequirements are described later in this lesson.

The 8006 chassis houses a single fan tray, which provides cooling for all six slots. A highspeed fan tray is required when installing R/RS Modules in the chassis. (DS1411018-E68006CMHS).



8003R Chassis

8003R Chassis

The 8003R is a small chassis for L2-L4 wiring closets. The 8003R optimizes rack space withdensity and connectivity requirements.

The 8003R Chassis consists of a sheet metal enclosure, a backplane, a power backplane, twobays for AC power supplies, and a fan tray for cooling the chassis. It includes two I/O slots thatsupport any two R/RS I/O modules and one slot for the CPU/SF module. Slot 3 is reserved forthe 8692SF with the supermez or 8895SF CPU/SF modules.

The 8003R chassis support 8005 AC/DC/DI-AC/DI-DC power supplies.

The performance and scalability of a fully populated ERS 8003R chassis shall be equivalent toan ERS 8006 or 8010 chassis in which only slots 1, 2 and 5 are populated with the same SFand R/RS modules.

Note

The 8003R chassis is only supported with software 7.0 and above. The 8003R requires a8692SF with the supermez or the 8895SF. Only R and RS modules are supported.

ERS 8010co Cooling Units

ERS 8010co Cooling Units

The 8010co chassis provides two fan trays and front to back air flow. Air is pulled through thefront of the chassis, across the modules, and out of the rear exhaust plenum.

8010co cooling system8010co cooling system

Each fan tray contains two high-capacity, multi-speed fans. A control/monitor circuit board in thefan tray reports temperature and fan operating status to the network management software.

Should a single fan fail, the other fan on the tray will increase its speed to accommodate theloss and maintain the air flow.

Note: For increased cooling capacity required for R and RS modules, you must install thenew high speed cooling module 8006CMHS or 8010CMHS. Cooling management is doneby the CPU and will display pertinent warning messages to the console if any low-coolingconditions exist.



Ethernet Routing Switch 8600/8800 Switch ArchitectureERS 8600/8800 Switch Architecture

ERS 8600/8800 Switch Architecture

R/RS modules offer both increased port density and increased performance over the olderpre-E, E and M-series modules. With R/RS Modules, it is important to understand the conceptof standard and high performance slots. For chassis manufactured before August 2006, slots2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are high performance slots and slots 1 and 10 are standard and do notsupport the full bandwidth required for R/RS Modules. Therefore, to recognize the full bandwidthof R/RS Modules, Avaya recommends installing them in a high performance slot. Chassismanufactured after August 2006 do not have this restriction. All I/O slots are high performanceslots.

You can identify the High Performance chassis by the revision number in the CLI. The CLIoutput from the show sys info command displays chassis info. Look for a revision number of02 or higher in the “H/W Config” field to indicate the new high performance chassis. Example:chassis info:h/w config:02

The SF switching capability that is 256G per 8895/8692 for a total of 512G. Both switch fabricsare used (active/active) while only one CPU is used.

The ten-slot chassis contains eight slots for I/O modules (slots 1–4 and slots 7– 10) and twoslots for CPU/SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the SF modules only. One CPU/SFmodule is required for operation.

If a second CPU/SF module is installed, it provides fail-over redundancy for the first CPU/SFmodule. In addition, the SFs on both CPU/SF modules are simultaneously active and thereforeshare the switching load for all the I/O module ports, increasing core switching capacity andthroughput to provide non-blocking capabilities even with 64 Gigabit Ethernet ports installed.

The 8010co shelf can support multiple configurations and can provide a redundant architecturein either of two ways:

• Horizontally Horizontal redundancy provides single shelf redundancy where you havetwo CPU/Switch Fabric cards operating in an active standby mode.

• Vertically The redundancy can also be split vertically across two shelves. For CSLAN applications, ERS 8600 typically uses the latter configuration, vertical redundancy.

ERS 8600/8800 CPU/Switch Fabric ModulesERS 8600/8800 CPU/Switch Fabric Modules

ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 CPU/Switch Fabric Modules

The following ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 CPU/SF modules are available for installation in theERS 8010, 8006 and 8010co chassis:

• 8895SF - Requires Software Release 7.0 or above. It is it is functionally equivalent tothe existing 8692SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module when upgraded with the SuperMezzCPU daughterboard. It is also 33% more energy-efficient, has a 1.5x increase inmemory, and a powerful 1.3Ghz processor

• 8692SF - Requires Software Release 3.7+ and is supported in 8003R chassis withthe addition of the supermez daughter card and Release 7.0 and above.

8895SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module

The 8692SF and 8895SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module is a combination processing engine and ahigh-bandwidth, shared-memory SF. Due to the large form-factor of this board and to facilitatefactory upgrades, the board is divided up into two half boards. One half, called the CPU board,contains the CPU and peripheral-related components. The other half, which contains theSF components, is referred to as the SF board. The combination of these two half-boards isreferred to as the CPU/SF, and is treated as a single, user-replaceable module.

CPU

The CPU half of the 8895SF module is a large processing engine. The main responsibilityof this processing engine is to keep all L2/L3 route table data up to date. Additionally, theCPU must process all packets that cannot be handled by L2 or L3 due to an unknown routeor packet type. If two 8895SF modules are installed, the second CPU can operate in a ‘warmstandby’ fail-over state or High availability mode where the second CPU can take over manymirrored functions.

If you install two 8895SF modules in a chassis, both modules must run the same version ofsoftware. This is the default configuration; you can enable L2/L3 fail-over by setting a boot flag.This procedure is described later in this lesson.

Switch Fabric

The SF half of the 8895SF module is a high-bandwidth, shared-memory SF, made up of 10Megabytes of high-speed memory for packet forwarding (not used for user data storage such



as configuration files). All traffic across all routing switch I/O modules traverses this sharedSF. In addition, if two 8895SF modules are installed, all routing switch I/O modules detectthe presence of the second SF and re-distribute traffic for half of their ports to it. The twoload-sharing SFs dramatically improve maximum performance limits up to 100 million packetsper second (pps), with non-blocking performance for 64 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Flash Memory Cards

The 8895SF module also supports various sizes of ATA-compliant PCMCIA flash memorycards. This storage can be used to store alternate user configurations as well as otheroperational run-time software images.

Alert

Although other PCMCIA memory cards may physically fit into the PCMCIA slot, they may notbe compatible with the 8895SF module. Use only ATA-compliant PCMCIA flash memory cardsin the 8895SF PCMCIA card slot.

Avaya recommends that the PCMCIA card be 128 MB when using Release 5.0 or above

LEDs

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are visible to the user on the front of the 8895SF. TheLEDs indicate Temperature status, Power Supply status, Fan Module status, CPUPrimary/Secondary, and CPU/SF Card online, CPU Utilization, and SF Utilization.

ERS 8692SF with SuperMezz Module





The 8692SF is comprised of a CPU in the front half and switch fabric (SF) in the back half. TheCPU is similar to the 8691SF CPU. There is a 333-MHz processor on the motherboard.

Component changes include:

• 256 MB SDRAM (compared to 128 MB on 8691SF) for larger table sizes and supportof advanced configurations in upcoming releases

• 64 MB Flash Memory (compared 32 MB) for storage of upcoming (larger) imagesizes and configurations

• Flash is partitioned into two volumes, Flash/1 and Flash/2.



8692SF Switch Fabric Detail

8692SF Switch Fabric Detail

The 8692SF is comprised of four Fast Fabric Access Devices (FFADs) and one Fast SwitchProcessor (FSWIP).

• The FSWIP supports 256 Gbps full duplex per fabric, 512 Gbps per system, and 1terabit per second (Tbps) in a dual-homed core (two ERS 8600 switches).

• 380 Mpps (million packets per second)

• A FFAD supports a 4x increase in HyperPHY links on the backplane as compared tothe 8691 switch fabric.

• 2.488 Ghz operation (compared to 622 Mhz) 19.9 Gbps (full duplex raw perfabric per Fast TAP) Roughly 16 Gbps data per fabric per Fast TAP (FTAP)



8692SF Operation Specifics

8692SF Operation Specifics

In Release 5.0 the 8692SF is required for use with ERS R and RS Modules. ERS 7.0 andabove requires the supermez card for 8692SF operations.

• 30-port 1000 BASE-X (Small Form factor Pluggable [SFP] GBICs)

• 3-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (LAN and WAN)

• 48-port 10/100/1000 (8-pin modular jack)

The 8692 is interoperable with all ERS Release 3.x models.

• 19.9 Gbps HyperPHY is operable only with FFAD-FTAP interface.

• FFAD-TAP interface operates at 622 MHz and yields existing 4.98 Gbps Full duplexraw per fabric per TAP.

Note

For CPU/SF redundancy, both switch fabrics must be 8692SF. Do not mix 8690SF or 8691SFwith 8692SF in a single system.

The memory capability for the different ERS switch fabrics varies by model.

• 8690SF has 64MB by default (upgrade to 256 required for 4.1).

• 8691SF has 128 MB by default (upgrade to 256 required for 4.1).

• 8692SF has 256 MB by default.

Avaya does not support mixed configurations.

ERS 8600 Power Management Feature

ERS 8600/8800 Power Management Feature

The ERS 8600/8800 will monitor the power consumption of the hardware in the chassis. Youcan also view the power utilized and required by each chassis component using the CLI. Youhave the option to prioritize which slots are to receive power in the even of a power shortage.

The power budget will be done based on the two required voltages 3.3V and 12V. As part of thisfeature, the power budget will be calculated for each module type. Bringing up the card duringpower up will be done based on the priority assigned to the slot in which the card is inserted.8600:5/config/sys/set/power# info8600:5/show/sys/power# power-supply-info8600:5/show/sys/power# slot-info8600:5/show/sys/power# info

Power supplies

Each ERS 8600/8800 chassis provides redundant power options, depending on the chassis andthe number of modules installed. A single 8004 power supply can support up to five modules inboth the ERS 8006 (six-slot) and 8010 (ten-slot) chassis. Do not mix power supplies in the samechassis.

The 8006 and 8010 chassis support up to three power supplies. You must install at least onepower supply per chassis. To support a full configuration of RS modules, an 8004 or 8005power supply is required. ERS 8600 Release 5.0 introduced the dual-input 8005DI AC powersupply. You can use this dual-input supply with two other single-phase AC sources of differentphase. To share the two phases with the dual input supply, connect AC source Phase 1 toinput 1 on the dual-input supply, and connect AC source Phase 2 to input 2 on the dual-inputsupply.

SPBmSPBm

Shortest Path Bridging (MacInMac)

Rls 7.1 of the 8800 Software brings with it the the capability to use SPBm to the chassis.

SPBm simplifies Network Virtualisation, and Rapid Deployment of services. It will be discussedin greater detail on the advanced course.

In this section, the following Acronyms may be used

• SPB: Shortest Path Bridging• SPBm: Shortest Path Bridging - MacInMac• AS: Autonomous System• B-MAC: Backbone MAC• B-VID: Backbone VLAN identifier• ISID: SPBm Service ID• ECT: Equal Cost Tree (SPBm)• IS-IS: Intermediate system to intermediate system Routing Protocol• BEB: Backbone Edge Bridge (Edge node in a SPB network)• MPLS: Multi Protocol Label Switching• DCB: Data Center Bridging• NIC: Network Interface Card

• 802.1D (2004) - MAC Bridges• 802.1p - Traffic Class Expediting and Dynamic Multicast Filtering (published in 802.1D-1998)• 802.1Q - Virtual LANs• 802.1s - Multiple Spanning Trees• 802.1w - Rapid Reconfiguration of Spanning Tree• 802.1ag - Connectivity Fault Management• 802.1ah - Provider Backbone Bridges• 802.1aq - Shortest Path Bridging

The key value propositions for SPBm include:

• Standards-basedo IEEE 802.1aq standard – no lock in technology

• Resiliencyo Single robust protocol with sub-second failovero Optimal network bandwidth utilization

• Simplicityo One protocol for all network serviceso Plug & Play deployment reduces time to service

• Scalabilityo Evolved from Carrier with Enterprise-friendly featureso Separates infrastructure from connectivity services

• Flexibilityo No constraints on network topologyo Easy to implement virtualization



The evolution of Ethernet technologies continues with the IEEE 802.1aq standard of Shortest Path Bridging. Thisnext generation virtualization technology will revolutionize the design, deployment and operations of the EnterpriseCampus core networks along with the Enterprise Data Center. The benefits of the technology will be clearly evidentin its ability to provide massive scalability while at the same time reducing the complexity of the network. This willmake network virtualization a much easier paradigm to deploy within the Enterprise environment.

Shortest Path Bridging eliminates the need for multiple protocols in the core of the network by separating theconnectivity services from the protocol infrastructure. By reducing the core to a single protocol, the idea of build itonce and don’t have to touch it again becomes a true reality. This simplicity also aides in greatly reducing time toservice for new applications and network functionality.

A recognition of the existing limitations for network virtualization led to thedevelopment of a new link-stated based technology known as Provider Link StateBridging (PLSB). Based on IS-IS 2008 and a natural evolution of PBB/PBT, PLSBaddressed the growing needs in regard to network virtualization. This technology wasintroduced into the IEEE standards body and now known as 802.1aq Shortest PathBridging MacInMac (SPBm).

SPBm is based on the 802.1ah encapsulation schema that does not dependon spanning tree to provide a loop free Layer 2 domain, but instead uses thenodal based IS-IS topology protocol. The IEEE is reworking the spanning treespecifications 802.1D to include the new SPB solution. The intention is that oncethe standard is implemented in network products, the network operator will be ableto choose a shortest path bridging topology protocol or the legacy root tree basedoption. One of the key advantages of the SPBm protocol is the fact that networkvirtualization provisioning is achieved by ONLY configuring the edge of the network(service access points), thus the intrusive core provisioning that other Layer 2virtualization technologies require (including 802.1Q – VLAN tagging) is not neededwhen new connectivity services are added to an SPBm network. For example, whennew virtual server instances are created and need their own VLAN instance, they areprovisioned at the network edge only and don’t need to be configured throughout therest of the network infrastructure.

SPBm simplifies network operation by removing a set of overlay protocols andcollapsing them into one link state based protocol: IS-IS. At the same time, itachieves true separation between infrastructure and service layer by leveragingthe service ID concept (ISID). With the inclusion of IP/SPB into the SPBm protocolsimplified provisioning and operation for Layer 2 and Layer 2 Unicast and Multicastvirtualization is achieved. Due to the service separation by ISID, there is nodependency of SPBm virtualized services among themselves occurring. Comparedto the traditional model true OPEX savings can be expected due to the protocolsimplification.

Managing and Configuring the ERS 8600/8800

There are three user interfaces available on the Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 8600/8800.They are:

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

• Avaya command line interface (ACLI)

• Device Manager – also known as Enterprise Device Manager (EDM)

Login Using the EDM and CLI

Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) login is similar for each of the management tools. For detailedinformation about any user interface, refer to NN46205-308 – Ethernet Routing Switch8600/8800 User Interface Fundamentals or NN46200-103 – Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 UserInterface Fundamentals.

To login using the CLI, enter the User Name and Password. The Web server is enabled bydefault. If you assign an IP address to the switch, you can access the Web server to startEDM.

Enterprise Device Manager

Enterprise Device Manager (EDM) replaces both the Java-based Device Manager andWeb-based management interfaces. EDM is an embedded element management andconfiguration application for Ethernet Routing Switches that uses a Web-based graphicaluser interface and retains the look and feel of Device Manager. The EDM Web application isavailable when you access the switch IP address using one of the approved Web browsers.You can use EDM element management to set up, stage, and configure switches and monitordevice statistics. To use EDM you require only an internet browser.



CLIOut-of-band management Ethernet port

Out-of-band management Ethernet port

Connecting using CLI with Telnet

The CLI can be accessed through a Telnet session. To access the CLI remotely, the switchmust have an assigned IP address and remote access must be enabled. Telnet is enabled bydefault.

Telnet Access

• IP Address• Telnet must be enabled - Default Occasionally you may need to press Control-Y several

times to “wake up” the connection.

Note

Multiple users can access the CLI or ACLI system simultaneously through the serialport, Telnet, and modems. The maximum number of simultaneous users is four plus,one each at the serial port for a total of 6 users on the chassis. All users can configuresimultaneously.



Command Line Interface (CLI)

Command Line InterfaceYou can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) or ACLI to configure IP routing protocols in theERS 8600/8800 and ERS 8300.CLI and ACLIThere are two modes of operation:

• Mode: CLI (Passport CLI)• Mode: ACLI (Avaya Standard CLI)

Either the ACLI or the CLI is accessible at runtime. You cannot use both the CLI and ACLIcommands in the same session. If a switch is operating in ACLI mode, it does not recognize aCLI configuration file and therefore cannot load it.

Similarly, a switch operating in CLI mode does not recognize an ACLI configuration file andcannot load it. When you first power up the ERS 8600/8800, the default interface is the CLI.To switch from the CLI to the ACLI, you must change the ACLI boot flag and save the bootconfiguration file.

You use a boot monitor flag to toggle between the existing CLI and ACLI.

You must reboot the switch for the change to take effect (if configured from runtime). Also, toretain the configuration, you must save the running configuration in the new mode before youtoggle the flag.

The CLI and ACLI config files must have unique file names when you save them. If the filenames are not unique, the configuration file is overwritten in either CLI format or ACLI format,depending on the choice you made. When you boot dual SF/CPU switches, always boot thesecondary SF/CPU before you boot the primary SF/CPU. Avaya recommends that you resetand hold the secondary SF/CPU at the monitor prompt, and then boot the primary SF/CPU.After the primary SF/CPU boots, boot the secondary SF/CPU from the monitor prompt.

Commands in the ACLI include:• Type ? or help to obtain command help.

To make a feature/parameter false, use “no” in the syntax.o For example, no vlan members 1 1/20,1/30 portmember

You can use the CLI to configure IP routing protocols in the ERS 8600 and ERS 8300.

Note

At his stage most software releases ACLI is referred to as NNCLI. This was renamed to ACLIin the 7.1 release.

CLI Command Tree Structure

The CLI for the Boot Monitor and Run-time is organized into a tree data structure. Majorcommands like config and show are at the top of the tree, with their subcommands below. Bytyping a partial command, you enter a context (essentially, a prefix). Subsequent commandsrequire only the specifics; the system appends the current context to the data you type. It isconceptually similar to the tree-structured directory systems familiar to UNIX and MS/DOSusers.



When you type an incomplete command, you see the command’s context and sub-context. Forexample:

ERS-8600/config/ip# vlan 1 infoSub-Context: arp dhcp-relay dvmrp forwarding ipflow l3-

igmp mroute ospf policy rip route route-discovery

static-route traffic-filter udpfwd

Current Context:

action : N/A

add-mlt :

agetime : 0

delete : N/A

qoslevel : 3

ds-field : 1

name : Default

CLI Command Styles – ERS 8600/8800/8300

When you are within a given branch of the tree, you need to type only the subcommand for thatlevel (see above). This feature enables you to create, delete, or change all relevant parametersfor a port without re-entering a complete command.

To avoid typing a complete command, you can enter a shortened version, such as dis fordisable or en for enable; the CLI only requires enough characters to uniquely distinguish acommand from others that start with the same character string. You can also type part of acommand and then press Tab to have the system complete the command. If the letters youtyped are unique to a command, the command is completed automatically. If not, nothing willhappen, indicating that more information is necessary.

Getting Help with the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI

Getting Help with the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI

When you navigate through the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI, online help is available at alllevels. From any level of the tree, help is accessed four ways:

• Typing a question mark (?) at the prompt results in a list of all commands.

• Typing the word help at the prompt provides an explanation of the available help.

• Typing help <command> explains what the command does and gives its syntax.

• Typing <command> syntax displays a list of commands and parameters available forthat command.

Additional CLI help commands

Additional CLI help commands

In addition to the Help commands common to the Boot Monitor, the CLI has additional helpcommands.

• Typing help describes help features.

• Typing help commands provides a list of commands you can enter from the currentprompt.

• Typing help ttychars provides a list of special terminal editing characters.

• Typing syntax displays a path list of commands and parameters available from thecurrent prompt or <command> forward.

• Typing help <command> or <command> help describes a specific command orprovides a list of sub-commands you can enter from within <command>.

• Typing ? displays the sub and current context commands available from the currentprompt.

• Typing <command> ? displays the sub and current context commands availablefrom the current prompt if the command is an intermediate node in the command treestructure, otherwise, displays parameter help for the command.

• Typing <command?> displays a list of commands that match the characters entered.



Repeating commands

Repeating commands - History command syntax

The Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI history commands let you list the commands you haveentered during the current session and re-enter those commands without having to re-type theentire string.

The history commands include the options listed below.

History Lists the commands you have entered duringthe current CLI session

!! Reenters the most recently enteredcommand

!<number> Enters the command identified in thecommand history by the variable <number>

!<str> Runs the last command that matches thegiven string <str>

!?<substr> Runs the last command that matches thegiven substring <substr>

^<sstr>^<rstr> Enters the most recent command butsubstitutes a new string for a given string



Assigning the initial IP address

When you enter the CLI, the system name is the displayed prompt. For example, the runtimeCLI prompt is displayed below:

ERS-8600:5#

The Boot Monitor CLI prompt is:

monitor#

Assigning the initial IP address for In-Band management

Specifying IP addresses and subnet masks

An IP address with a subnet mask can be specified in two forms using dotted decimal notation:<N>

<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>/<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy>

or

<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>/ <N>

where:

• <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx> is the IP address in dotted-decimal notation.• <yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy> is the subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation.• <N> is the number of subnet mask bits.

The following examples refer to the same IP address and subnet mask pair:

10.10.10.1/24 is the same as 10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0

Assigning or Changing an IP Address

The procedure for assigning an IP address to a port or VLAN is not a single-step process. Firstenter the port or VLAN interface level, and then assign the IP address to the port or VLAN with:

1 (config-if)# ethernet <port> ip create <ipaddr/mask> <vid> (ERS 8600)2 (config-if)# ip address <address> <subnet mask>

ie 1(config)# int gig 4/10

ie 1(config-if)#brouter port 4/10 vlan 456 sub 172.16.50.1/24

ie 2(config) # interface vlan 10

ie 2(config-if)# ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0

To change an IP address, first enter the interface and delete the current IP address:

1 (config-if)#no brouteror



2 (config-if)#no ip addr 172.16.10.1

Then, reassign the IP address as shown above.

Note

When an IP address is assigned to a port or VLAN, local routing is enabled unless IPforwarding is disabled (config ip forwarding disable). On an ERS 8600, a brouter port is createdwhen you assign an IP address to a physical port.

Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 System ArchitectureEthernet Routing Switch 8300 System Architecture

Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 System Architecture

Interface Modules installed in the ERS 8300 Chassis establish connections through theBackplane to either or both Switch Fabric Modules, depending upon the type of InterfaceModule and whether one or two SFs Modules are installed.

Note

8300 Modules can be installed in existing 8000 chassis, but these chassis (8010, 8006, and8003), cannot supply in-line power to the 8348TX-PWR/8348GTX-PWR Modules. PoE is notsupported in this configuration.

Note

If you are installing ERS 8300 modules in the 8010 or 8006 Chassis, you must upgrade themedia access control (MAC) addresses on your chassis to a total of 4096 MAC addresses.

Note

ERS 8600/8800 modules do not work in the 8310 and 8306 chassis.

Note

The 8300 and 8600/8800 modules are not supported in the same chassis.

Note

Dual 839xSF Modules are not supported in the 8000 Series Chassis. This configuration is onlysupported in the 8300 Series Chassis.



Chassis Module relationships



ERS 8300 Module Port Densities

Input/output modules - High Port Density

ERS 8300 input/output (I/O) modules provide support for a variety of technologies, interfaces,and feature sets. As of Release 4.1, the ERS 8300 supports the following interface options:

• 8308XL – 8 port 10GBASE-X XFP Ethernet Interface Module (with XFP slots) - deliveringa maximum density of 64 ports (68 when factoring in those also available on the 8394SF)

• 8348GB - 48 port 1000BASE-X SFP Ethernet Interface Module (with SFP slots) -delivering a maximum density of 384 ports (400 when factoring in those also available onthe 8393SF)

Module

Resiliency and Redundancy

High Availability/ Redundancy

Dual active Switch Fabric/CPU Module support provides sub-minute fail-over recovery in theevent of a CPU failure. The uplink ports integrated with Switch Fabric have redundancy whenusing two SF/CPU Modules and Distributed Link Aggregation.

Backward Compatibility

All ERS 8300 Modules can operate together in the same 6- or 10-slot 8300 Series Chassisusing the currently available Power Supplies. There is also a high degree of compatibility withprevious 8100 or 8600 installations; however neither of these products provides a Power overEthernet power bus. Use of these chassis should be limited to deployments that do not have (ordo not plan to have) a Power-over-Ethernet requirement.



Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 I/O Modules

8393SF Switch Fabric ModuleThe 8393SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module is optimized for high-performance switching ofLayer 2/3/4 traffic. Two Switch Fabric modules installed in the Chassis provide redundant,load-sharing capabilities.

The 8393SF has a Switch Fabric that allows for up to 416 Gbps switching capacity, with twoSFs installed, and includes eight integrated, Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiverports. These SFP ports provide slot-saving connectivity to other network devices. Both Copperand Fiber transceivers can be used. These interfaces operate at 1 Gigabit full-duplex only.

Auto MDI/MDIX is supported when using copper SFP transceivers and allows the PHY toautomatically determine whether or not it needs to cross over between the pairs so that anexternal crossover pair is not required.

When two 8393SF modules are installed in a chassis, all 16 SFP ports are active.8393SF Switch FabricCPU Module

Switch Fabric/CPU ModulesThe switch fabric/CPU (SF/CPU) module performs intelligent switching and routing. Everychassis must have at least one SF/CPU.

ERS 8300 supports the 8393SF and 8394SF SF/CPU modules in the 8306, 8310, 8006, and8010 chassis.You can install two SF/CPU modules in slots 5 and 6 of each 8306, 8310, 8010,and 8006 chassis, to enable redundant operation.

The redundant module in slot 6 can assume the processing duties of a failing primary module inslot 5. ERS 8300 does not support mixing CPU modules in a chassis. For more information seeNN46200-200 – Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 Planning and Engineering — Network Design.



Memory upgrade for the 8393SF/CPU

Main CPU

The 8393SF Module includes the main CPU. It is responsible for maintaining all the databasesfor the switch (such as Layer2/Layer3 forwarding, filtering, and interface configuration). Thepacket forwarding information is passed on to the I/O module’s Forwarding Path Inspection(FPI) units to create a distributed switching architecture.

The CPU also generates all packets that originate from the switch. These packets supportmanagement protocols like SNMP and Telnet, and also control protocols packets like BPDUsfor Spanning Tree.

Memory upgrade for the 8393SF/CPU

ERS 8300 Release 4.1 requires 256 MB of memory to support some of the scaledenvironments. An upgrade from 128 MB of memory is available for the 8393SF/CPU to providethe same memory as the 8394SF/CPU. A new version of the 8393SF/CPU with 256 MB ofmemory is available.



8393SF Architecture

8393SF Architecture

The Switch Fabric module includes the following elements:

• Crossbar Switch Fabric - The Switch Fabric is made up of DRAM and is used tobuffer switch traffic as it passes from one I/O module to another.

• QFI ASIC (Quad Fabric Interface) - The Quad Fabric Interface (QFI) ASIC is theinterface that each I/O module has with the Switch Fabric. It controls traffic flow andqueuing in and out of the switch fabric.

• FPI and Packet Buffer (Fast Packet Inspection Unit) - The Fast Packet Inspection(FPI) unit makes the packet forwarding decisions. Destination ports are determinedand filters are applied here.

The FPI unit interfaces to the ports through the Quad serializers/ deserializers(SERDES) that modify the serial stream of data used outside the switch to a parallelpath for switch operations.

• The SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports provide physical interfaces.

CPU

The CPU controls switch operations and generates packets for all protocols supported bythe switch. The CPU interfaces to external entities for switch administration and networkmanagement.

The CPU loads the boot image upon power-up from NVRAM and then the run-time image. Ituses SDRAM for maintaining data structures for switch operations and the main Address Tablefor learned and configured information.

The CPU also interfaces with Flash and the PCMCIA for file storage.

The CPU interfaces with the user through the front panel ports.

Chassis Area Network Controller

The CPU controls the I/O modules using the chassis area network controller. Module imageload, Address Table updates, and other CPU to I/O module communication occur here.

8348GTX and 8348GTX-PWR 10/100/1000 BASE-T Module



8348GTX Hardware Architecture

8348GTX Hardware Architecture

The 8348GTX Module includes the following elements:

Quad Fabric Interface (QFI) ASIC


Fast Packet Inspection (FPI) and Packet Buffer


The FPI interfaces to the ports through multiplexers, which connect to the Quad SERDESthat modify the serial stream of data used outside the switch to a parallel path for Switchoperations.

Co-Processor

The Module has a Co-Processor that handles the management functions. It communicates withthe main CPU on the 839xSF through the Chassis Area Network using the CAN switch.

8348GTX-PWR PoE Power and Control

Power-over-Ethernet is supported on the Module using the 48Vdc from the 830xAC througha bus on the Backplane. Control circuitry determines the PoE port configuration. Power ismanaged so as not to exceed the module limits and configured limits set by the administrator.

The PoE circuitry on the 8348TX-PWR or 8348GTX-PWR module does the following:

• Integrates power and data onto the Ethernet port or cable

• Searches the link segment for a powered device

• Detects a powered device (PD)

• Supplies power to the link segment

• Monitors the power on the link segment

• Removes power from the link segment



8348TX 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Interface Module

8348TX 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Interface Module

The 8348TX module provides 48 auto-sensing, 10/100Mbps ports for desktop connectivityusing RJ-45 connectors. It is optimized for high-density wiring closet solutions where Gigabitconnectivity is not required.

The 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX ports are auto-sensing for connection to hubs and supportauto-negotiation for connection to other devices supporting 802.1. Auto MDI/MDIX is supportedand allows the PHY to automatically determine whether or not it needs to cross over betweenthe pairs so that an external crossover pair is not required.

The 8348TX-PWR Module (detailed later) is available for PoE applications and it is, in all otherrespects, functionally equivalent to the standard 8348TX.

8348TX 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Module



8348TX Architecture

8348TX Architecture

The 8348TX Ethernet Interface Module includes the following elements:

QFI ASIC (Quad Fabric Interface)

The QFI ASIC is the interface that each I/O module uses to interface with the switch fabric. Itcontrols traffic flow and queuing in and out of the switch fabric.

FPI and Packet Buffer (Fast Packet Inspection Unit)

The FPI unit makes the packet forwarding decisions. Destination ports are determined andfilters are applied here.

The FPI gets the packets to and from the ports through the 10/100 OCT PHY and QuadMagnetics (MAG). They modify the serial stream of data used outside the switch to a parallelpath for switch operations. Notice that each Quad MAG controls 8 physical front panel ports.

Co-Processor

The Module has a Co-Processor that handles the management functions. It communicates tothe main CPU on the 839xSF using the Chassis Area Network (CAN).

8384TX Architecture



8348TX-PWR 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet Module


The 8348TX-PWR 48-port Module provides inline power to any IEEE 802.3af compliant devicessuch as IP phones, wireless access points, net cameras, security, lighting devices, and accesscontrol devices.

Standards-based equipment means that you are not tied to one vendor: the Switch has theflexibility to power multiple vendors’ 802.3af devices. It can supply power up to 15.4 watts perport, which meets the standard and is sufficient to power most devices.

Auto MDI/MDIX is supported and allows the PHY to automatically determine whether or not itneeds to cross over between the pairs so that an external crossover pair is not required.

PoE Power and Control

Power over Ethernet is supported on the module using the 48Vdc from the 830xAC through theBackplane. Control circuitry determines the PoE port configuration. Power is managed so as notto exceed the module limits and configured limits set by the administrator.



I/O Module and Switch Fabric Connection Specifics

Single Switch Fabric Module

When a single Switch Fabric Module is installed in either slot 5 or 6 of the chassis, all I/Omodules connect to that single SF Module for switching.

Redundant Switch Fabric Modules

When two SF Modules are installed in both slots 5 and 6, redundancy is provided and theconnection rules below apply.

• Those Interface Modules with a single connect QFI connect to one of the SFModules. Use of a particular Switch Fabric is based on the Slot in the Chassis.Modules in Slots 1, 3, 7, and 9 connect to the Switch Fabric in Slot 5; Modules inSlots 2, 4, 8, and 10 connect to the Switch Fabric in slot 6.

• Interface Modules with a single QFI (or Fabric Adapter) are: 8348TX,8348TX-PWR, 8324FX, 8348GTX, and 8348GTX-PWR.

• Those Interface Modules with dual QFI connections connect to both of the SFModules. Typical the “left-hand” half of the PHY ports connect to the SF in Slot 5, andthe “right-hand” half of the PHY ports connect to the other SF in Slot 6.

8005DC power supply

The 8005 DC power supply provides 1462 watts of power to the switch. You can use this powersupply separately or in a redundant configuration.



8302AC Power Allocation


The 8302AC provides adequate power for all modules installed in the chassis and a limitedamount of power for PoE devices. A standard 15 amp plug and circuit is required for the inputcircuit. These are ideal for installations that do not have many PoE devices.

8302AC power allocation

PoE Power Supply Management

ERS 8300 PoE power allocation is based on the number of installed ERS 8301AC or 8302ACpower supplies. PoE oversubscription is handled according to three priorities on each I/Omodule. A hierarchical approach is implemented where each port can be assigned to one ofthree different power priority levels to determine the criticality of supplying power to the port.

When power drawn by a module exceeds the limit, the lower priority port’s PoE is disabledto protect the power of the higher priority ports. For each PoE module, a trap is sent to themanagement station when the overall power consumption reaches 80% or above of the overallavailable PoE power.

For PoE concepts and configuration, see ERS 8300 Configuration — Power over Ethernet,NN46200-512.



8301AC Power Specification


When connecting the 8301AC power supply to a 100-110 VAC nominal input voltage source,one power supply draws a maximum of 20 Amps and delivers 1140 watts output power. EachERS 8301 power supply provides 400 watts PoE power at 100-110 VAC.

ERS 8302AC Power Specifications




Power allocation overview

• PoE power allocation is based on the number and type of PoE Power Supplies installed inthe chassis.

o One 8301AC (20 amp) 110V input provides 450 W PoE of power.o One 8302AC (15 amp) 110V input provides 225 W PoE of power.o One 8301AC (20 amp) 220V input provides 900 W PoE of power.o One 8302AC (15 amp) 220V input provides 450 W PoE of power

• Add additional supplies to increase the chassis capabilityo For redundancy (add one)o To double the PoE available power (add two)

• All power supplies in the chassis must be of the same type

If you are installing a redundant power supply, power available for PoE is always determinedbased on N+1 redundancy. If two power supplies are installed in the chassis, PoE powerallocation is equivalent to one power supply. If three power supplies are installed in the chassis,PoE power allocation is equivalent to two power supplies.


The 8301AC is the larger power supply. It requires a 20 amp input circuit and plug. Themaximum chassis power can be achieved by installing three 8301AC power supplies.

Determining the number of power supplies

Determining the number of power supplies

ERS 8306 and 8310 chassis, the number of power supplies that you must install — 1, 2, or 3 —depends on the following parameters:

• Number of modules you install in the chassis• Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements• Requirement for an optional redundant power supply

Avaya recommends that you operate the ERS 8300 in a redundant configuration at all times toensure maximum network uptime.

If a power supply fails after you install a redundant power supply, the ERS 8300 continues tooperate with no service interruption. The chassis will continue to supply the same module andPoE output power with the remaining power supplies. A trap and syslog message indicates thatthe configuration is nonredundant.

Avaya recommends that you install each power supply on its own dedicated branch circuit.When you plug the power cord for each power supply into a separate AC circuit, the redundantpower supply also provides protection against the disconnection or failure of an individualbranch circuit or power supply failure.

To determine the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration, use theAvaya Power Supply Calculator Tool which will be discussed more later in this lesson.



Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs that delivers the electricalcurrent to power a device over the Ethernet cable rather than the power cord. This minimizesthe number of wires that you must install to power the network. The result is lower cost, lessdowntime, easier maintenance, and greater installation flexibility than with traditional wiring.

The use of PoE has become increasingly popular over the past few years and has beenstandardized by the IEEE as 802.3af. Many end devices, such as wireless access points,security cameras, and security card readers now support PoE; however, the largest marketdriver for PoE today is IP Telephony. The ability to centrally power IP phones from the Ethernetswitch has made PoE ubiquitous in IP Telephony environments.

There are two components to PoE:

• Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), which is normally the Ethernet switch providing thePoE

• Powered Device (PD) which is the end device using the power

The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) will not send power out of the Ethernet switch port until itis able to verify that the end station is PoE-capable.

• IEEE 802.3af standard specifies a resistive discovery mechanism for the PSE to performthis function. This resistive method sends out two low voltage electrical pulses. Once thePSE has successfully discovered the PD, it begins providing power.

• All Avaya PoE switches support both resistive and capacitive detection mechanisms.• IEEE 802.3af standard specifies a maximum of 15.4 watts per device depending on power

classification, with many devices using only 4 to 8 watts.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) and the ERS 8300

ERS 8306 and 8310 Chassis both include a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Backplane Bus thatsupports IEEE 802.3af specification for PoE. You must evaluate the power requirements forPoE Modules installed in the chassis to ensure that enough power is available for PoE and allchassis components.

Power available for PoE is always determined based on an N+1 redundancy. If you have oneor two power supplies in the chassis, you are allocated PoE power equivalent to one powersupply. If you have three power supplies in the chassis, you are allocated PoE power equivalentto two power supplies.

You cannot mix power supply types in a single chassis. The Power Supply has auto sensingcircuitry on the input so that it will automatically operate with voltage ranges 100-120VAC and200-240VAC. The higher voltage range provides additional power capability to the supply andthe switch chassis.

ERS 8300 power system is capable of supplying the following PoE power maximums:

• Up to 800 W PoE power per line card may be assignedo 25W is used for on-board PoE circuitry

• A maximum of 16 W can be allocated per port



• Up to 1800 W PoE power per chassis maximumo 200 W maximum for on-board circuitry up to 8 modules

The PoE feature requires the following components:

• Ethernet Routing Switch 8306 or 8310 chassis with PoE backplane• Ethernet Routing Switch 8301 or 8302 power supply• Ethernet Routing Switch 8393SF/CPU module• ERS 8348TX-PWR or 8348GTX-PWR Module• ERS 8300 software that includes a PoE Power Manager (PPM)

ERS 8300 can provide 200 watts of PoE power on the 8348TX or 8348GTX modules andsupport up to 48 PoE ports on the 8348TX-PWR or 8348GTX-PWR modules.

8348TX-PWR and 8348GTX-PWR modules support an average of 4 watts over all 48 10/100and 10/100/1000 802.3af ports.

You can directly plug the data cable from PoE-enabled access points (APs) in to the ERS8300.

If Power over Ethernet modules are installed in a non-PoE chassis (8006 or 8010chassis), no PoE will be supplied to the I/O modules.

CAUTION – Risk of equipment damage – Do not install ERS 8300 modules and ERS 8100or 8600/8800 modules within the same chassis. ERS 8300 software does not supportmixed configurations. A mixed configuration can damage the modules and void yourwarranty. Follow common installation guidelines for steps 1 through 6. This lesson willdiscuss steps 7 through 9.



ERS 8600/8800 Power-On SequenceERS 8600/8800 Power-On Sequence

ERS 8600/8800 Power-On Sequence

ERS 8600/8800 goes through a five-stage boot sequence before it becomes fully operational.

• When you turn on power to the switch, the switch management module 8690,8691SF, 8692SF or 8895SF starts its built-in boot loader.

• When you have redundant switch management modules installed (869xSF/8895SF),the module in slot 5 becomes the Master by default activating its CPU to control theoverall operation of the switch.

• The designated slot for the master is configurable using the commandmaster <cpu-slot>

The boot sequence consists of the following file loads:

Stage 1: Boot monitor image load

Stage 2: Boot configuration load

Stage 3: Run-time image load

Stage 4: I/O module initialization and image load

Stage 5: Switch configuration load



ERS 8300 Power-On Sequence

At the time of Power-On or Cold Start, the Ethernet Routing Switch follows a sequence tobecome operational.

The Power-On Flow below summarizes the major steps of this sequence.

Power-On/Cold Start

The switch starts from the beginning of the process when power is applied or when the switchresets.

System Test

The 8393SF module CPU and its components are tested. The pre-boot image is loaded toaccomplish this function.

Load Boot Monitor

The Boot monitor is stored in NVRAM on the 8393SF module.

Load Boot Configuration

The boot monitor loads the associated configuration file containing parameters that dictate theswitch environment.

Autoboot Enable?

If Autoboot is not enabled, the CPU stops at the Boot monitor, which is reflected by the consoleprompt monitor#.



Press “Return” key?

You can interrupt the boot process by pressing the return key.

monitor#

At the boot monitor prompt you can perform a number of operations including copying files,upgrading the images, and changing flags, which change the switch’s operational environment.

Reset or Boot?

From the boot monitor, enter reset to exit or boot to continue. You can specify a particularimage file to boot using the boot command.

Search for Image

The system goes through the primary, secondary, and tertiary search strings looking for a validimage. As the system administrator, you specify the files names that you want the switch toload.

Image Found?

If an image is not found, then the system cycles back through system tests.

Load Image

The CPU loads the image.

Initialize Modules

Each module in the 8300 loads an image from flash that must match the image version of themain CPU. Module tests are performed at this time.

ACLI Enable?

The 8300 determines which mode to operate in based on a boot flag, ACLI. If enabled, theconfiguration file and CLI use the Avaya CLI. If not enabled, the Ethernet Routing Switch CLI isused.

Load Runtime Configuration CLI

The configuration file is loaded as a script of CLI commands that define the switch operationparameters.

Load Runtime Configuration ACLI

The configuration file is loaded as a script of Ethernet Routing Switch CLI commands that definethe switch operation parameters.

Switch Operational

The switch becomes operational and the CPU starts generating packets to support anyprotocols configured on the switch.



Successful installation verification

Successful installation verification

In a normal power-up sequence, the LEDs light as follows:

• After you apply power to the switch, the green LED on each power supply and fantray lights, and the Online LED for each module lights amber.

• Each module initiates a self-test, during which the port and module LEDs displayvarious patterns to indicate the progress of the self-test.

• Upon successful completion of the self-test (within 2 or 3 minutes after you applypower for a fully-loaded chassis), the module Online LED transitions from amber togreen.

• After 1 minute of operation, the fan tray Pass LED lights steady green.

If the LEDs on the modules light in this sequence, your installation is successful.

If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, contact your local Technical Solutions Center.



Initialize I/O Modules and Load Configuration

Initialize I/O Modules and Load Configuration

The CPU initializes each of the I/O slots. At this time you can observe the hardware beingdetected in each slot. Each module runs through its own self tests.

Each I/O module loads its image at this time during the boot process.

Once the run-time image is loaded, the CPU searches for the run-time configuration file. In thiscase, the default file name is used: /flash/config.cfg.

After these steps are completed, the switch becomes operational. At this time, you can log in asa system administrator using the console.



Load the Run-time Image

Load the Run-time Image

The boot monitor searches for the run-time image based on the user-specified parametersin the boot configuration file. The run-time image and configuration file are designated asprimary, secondary, and tertiary choices. In this example, the run-time image is loaded from theprimary choice (/flash/p83a2100.img for 8300, /flash/p80a7100.img for 8600, p80ae7000.img for8800)

Once the image file has been loaded, it waits for a configurable delay period to discover asecondary CPU module.

Note

8895SF changes

New executable images for 8695SF CPU/SF:

application image (p80ae7000.img), boot monitor image (p80be7000.img), 3DES encryptionmodule (p80ce7000.des), AES/DES encryption module (p80ce7000.aes)



Check Boot and Run-time images

Check Boot and Run-time images

the command to check the Boot and Runtime image in use are:

ERS-8606:5#show boot config generalCPU Slot 5: PMC280-A-MV-A0-MPC7447A (1.1)Version: 7.1.0.0/062

MezzImageSource: /flash/P80M7100.IMGEnableAutoBoot : trueEnableFactoryDefaults : false

ERS 8300 and 8600/8800 each follows a sequence of steps after you apply power to thechassis power supplies. A terminal connected to the Console Port reflects these steps as theyoccur.

First, the main CPU boot monitor is run from the on-board Boot Monitor Flash non-volatileRAM (NVRAM). You can connect a terminal to the console port to observe the type of CPU,the version of boot monitor code, time, memory size, and the start type: cold or warm. TheCPU’s flash memory is then tested. The Boot Monitor uses the boot configuration file to loadthe user-defined parameters and flags for the boot sequence. The default boot configurationfilename is /flash/boot.cfg.

One of the flags is auto-boot. When auto-boot is enabled, you can stop the boot process fromthe console port. By stopping at this point, you have access to the boot monitor command lineinterface that allows you to change the parameters and flags contained in the boot configurationfile.

The Boot Monitor Flash is upgraded by booting the new p8xbxxxx.img version . This operationoverwrites over the old boot image in NVRAM. in theory the "b" file does not need to bemaintained on the flash or pcmcia drive after the upgrade, only the NVRAM vesion is used innormal use.



Run ERS 8600/8800 Setup Utility

Run ERS 8600 Setup Utility

The Setup Utility was introduced in ERS 8600 Software Release 3.3. It provides a mechanismfor quick setup of all basic platform parameters. The Setup Utility is initiated through the consoleport by entering the run-time CLI command # install.

Note

When a save config command is executed, the saved config file is equal to the last runtimeconfig used. If the primary configuration file in the bootconfig (/flash/boot.cfg) is different fromlast runtime configuration file then the following warning message would be displayed onconsole, written to the log file, but not displayed on telnet/ssh logged in sessions.

SW WARNING Choice Primary Node Config file is <file name>

Where <file name> is the name of the primary configuration file.

This is a warning to the user that should the switch boot, the config file that the switch will bootwith, maybe different then the current running and saved config file.

After the format-flash command is issued, a reset command must be issued before the savefile boot.cfg command or else erroneous error messages will be generated. This procedurefunctions properly via direct console access, therefore this extra step is not required when usingdirect console access.

For more detailed information on configuring the system with the Setup Utility, please refer toNN46200-100 - ERS 8300 Installation and Commissioning - Quick Start.

Perform configuration tasksPerform configuration tasks

Perform Configuration Tasks

When you first power up the ERS 8600, the default interface is the CLI. To switch from the CLIto the ACLI, you must change the ACLI boot flag and save the boot configuration file.

Either the ACLI or the CLI is accessible at runtime. You cannot use both the CLI and ACLIcommands in the same session. If a switch is operating in ACLI mode, it does not recognizea CLI configuration file and therefore cannot load it. Similarly, a switch operating in CLI modedoes not recognize an ACLI configuration file and cannot load it.

Run-time CLIYou can also access the run-time CLI through a Telnet or rlogin session. To access the run-timeor Boot Monitor CLI over the network, use Telnet to connect to an Internet protocol (IP) addressassociated with the switch.

In-Band Management

When you enter the CLI, the system name is the displayed prompt. For example, the run-timeCLI prompt is displayed below:

ERS-8600:5#

The Boot Monitor CLI prompt is:

monitor#



Out-of-Band Management

Out-of-Band Management Ethernet Port

You can access the Ethernet Routing Switch via the management port using EDM. In order toconnect, you first must assign an IP address to the management port. You can either changethe IP address using Boot Monitor, or using EDM, simply go to the Edit MgmtPort menu andassign it there. This network does not appear in the routing table; therefore, any address canbe used. (You still have to follow the IP Addressing rules and not have a duplicate network orsubnet per box.)

With this option, you may decide, if given the resources, that it might be advantageous to set upan out-of-band (OOB) management network connecting all the management ports to a secureinfrastructure. For example, you could connect all the management ports to a central hub orswitch and once the PC is connected to this network, you could attach to any switch without theconstraints of traffic across normal network links. The drawback is that connections will be alittle slower, and when managing the box through this port, this may affect the throughput.

When two 8691SF/8692SF/8895SF/CPU modules are installed in the chassis, each module’sout-of-band management port is assigned a unique IP address. In the event of a CPU failure,you would have to manage the switch using the IP address of the backup CPU’s out-of-bandmanagement port. Using two addresses for a single switch may cause switch identity problems.You can eliminate this confusion by assigning a virtual IP address to these out-of-bandmanagement ports so that, regardless of which 8691/8692SF/8895SF/CPU module is Master,the switch is available using the single virtual IP address.



Password Security for ERS 8600 and 8300

Ethernet Routing Switch has a security scheme with up to five levels of access providing varioususer privileges. The possible levels of security access are:

• Read-Only Access - Allows the manager to view the device settings but to changenothing. This access level is equivalent to SNMP read-only community access.

• Layer 2 (L2) Read-Write Access - Allows the manager to view and edit devicesettings dealing with L2 (bridging) functionality. The L3 routing configuration (OpenShortest Path First [OSPF] or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP]) cannotbe modified.

• Layer 3 (L3) Read-Write Access - Allows the manager to view and edit devicesettings dealing with both L2 and L3 functions.

• Read-Write Access for All Functionality - Allows the manager to view and edit mostdevice settings. The only device settings that cannot be changed with Read-Writeaccess are the security and password settings. This access level is equivalent toSNMP read-write community access.

• Read-Write-All Access - Allows all the privileges of Read-Write access and the abilityto change the security settings. The security settings include access passwords andthe Web-based management user names and passwords.

When logging onto a switch using the CLI, you are prompted to enter a user name andpassword. When connecting to the switch using EDM, type the management IP address in theaddress URL bar of the browser: http://devicemanagerIPaddress and then enter the web UserName, Password and VRF Name assigned to them.



Establishing a CLI Connection

Serial Console Connection

To access the run-time and Boot Monitor CLI, you need a direct connection to the switchconsole port from a terminal or personal computer. You can use any terminal or PC with aterminal emulator as the CLI command station. Be sure the terminal supports the followingfeatures:

• 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control

• A serial terminal-emulation program such as Terminal or Hyperterm for Windows

• Cables and connectors to match the Ethernet Routing Switch male data terminalequipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) connector (DB-9)

Serial Modem Connection

The ERS Module 8691/8692/8895SF provides a second serial port for attaching modem andconsole devices. The Modem port allows you to connect a standard modem for out-of-band,dial-up management.

You can configure the console port as a DTE or DCE device using the front panel switch. Themodem port is wired as a DTE device.

ERS 8600/8800 Configuration Files

ERS 8600 Configuration FilesRun-time Configuration There is one Run-time time configuration file: config.cfgBoot ConfigurationThere are two boot configuration files:

• Boot Configuration file on PCMCIA - pcmboot.cfg

• This file has priority if it is found.• If it is not found, the system will use the /flash/boot.cfg.

• The Boot Configuration file on Flash - boot.cfg

Run-Time Configuration File (default name) config.cfg

Boot Configuration File on PCMCIA (haspriority if found)

pcmboot.cfg

Boot Configuration File on Flash boot.cfg

The CLI prompt will not be returned to the user until the actual FPGA update has completed,for either a direct console login session or a remote telnet/ssh/rlogin session. A spinning wheelwill inform the user that the FPGA update is still in progress. This process will prevent the userfrom rebooting a switch too early in a FPGA upgrade situation, which might make the R moduleinoperable, and require an RMA.

Note

When upgrading any ERS8600 to 4.1.3.0 or higher code, if a Mezz module is present, butthe Mezz image is not, then the Mezz flag MUST be specifically set to false in boot.cfgor other boot file location (such as pcmboot.cfg). Please note that the default settingfor the Mezz flag is enabled, and that previous 4.1.x releases did not have such arequirement.

If the boot file is not configured in this manner, the system will look for the Mezz imageand if the Mezz image is not present then the switch comes up with I/O modules workingas expected, but the user can no longer ping/telnet/ftp/tftp to the switch throughmanagement port.

If the Mezz image is available on flash or PCMCIA, then there is no issue ofping/telnet/ftp/tftp to that switch.

On an ERS 8600 switch, to load a Mezz image whose version is different from bootimage version, the Mezz image name has to be configured via the following CLIcommand:

config bootconfig mezz-image image-name <Image-Name>

However in this case all the functionality might not work as expected. The followingwarning message would be generated upon boot time.

“Warning: The Mezz CPU was booted with Image Version: <version number>Incompatible withBoot Monitor Image Version <version number>. Not all functionalities might work as expected.Please either re-boot with proper Boot Monitor Image or load the proper Mezz/RuntimeImage”

In this scenario for R-modules, the DLD version must to be the same as Mezz imageversion, or else the R-module will not come up.



Note

ERS 8600 Configuration Overview

The Run-Time configuration is maintained by the Master CPU.

The Run-Time configuration is active in switch memory.

You can view the Run-Time Configuration using EDM.

You can use CLI commands.

show configsho tech

As you perform switch configuration changes they are dynamic and occur when you pressEnter. For example, if you type config vlan 1 ip create 172.16.1.1/24 and press Enter, theswitch adds the IP address to VLAN 1 immediately.

The Run-Time configuration must be saved to flash to keep changes after switchreset/reboot.



Run-time configuration file on flash• Stores the customized switch configuration when you save the run-time config

• Normally saved to /flash/config.cfg• Or a unique file name and location using save config file /pcmcia/060314.cfg

• Consists of CLI commands

• Commands are summarized (config not included in file syntax)• You can view the file using more config.cfg.• You can edit the file using the ERS 8600 editor or any familiar PC text editor.

• The config file is executed as part of the Power-On, Boot, Reset process and at noother time.

• The process begins with the factory default configuration and execution of theconfig file alters the switch parameters away from the default.

• Boot flags that have an effect:

• factorydefaults true skips the config file execution.• debugconfig true allows you to observe config file execution.• verifyconfig true ensures the correct command syntax in the config file and

keeps the file from being used if it is corrupt

Saving the Current Configuration - EDMYou can use EDM to save the current configuration by opening the Edit Chassis window andselecting the System tab.



You can access the Edit Chassis window by doing the following:

6. Double-click on the chassis, or select the chassis from the Edit menu.

7. Right-click on the chassis.

8. Select Edit from the pop-up menu.

9. Click saveRuntimeConfig.

10. Click Apply.

this can also be accomplished by typing "save config" or "save config file bakupconf.cfg"

Configuration File Contents

The following graphic provides details on the contents of the Configuration File.



Maintaining the Configuration FilesExample of Files on Flash



The figure below shows an example of the files on flash. These include the config.cfg, boot.cfg,.img, license and .dld files. The .xsvf are the firmware upgrade files for line cards. As can beseen it is often convenient to keep multiple config files of different key points of the life of theswitch, both locally, and securely remote.

Create a Backup Copy of the config.cfg File

The following figure shows the EDM screens used to create a backup copy of the config.cfg file.This can also be accomplished with the command

Before upgrading to Ethernet Routing Switch , take special note of the following cautionarymessages:

• The configuration file may contain options that are not backward compatible with anyprior release.

• After you upgrade your Ethernet Routing Switch software, make sure you save theconfiguration file.

• When installing files on the on-board flash or PCMCIA, make sure that you verifyflash capacity before downloading the files to ensure that you have adequate space.



• As a precaution, before you upgrade or downgrade your switch software, make acopy of the switch configuration file specified in the boot.cfg file using the followingCLI command:copy /flash/config.cfg <device>/config.cfgwhere device can be the local PCMCIA or a remote PC host

DLD files – information for upgrade

When the boot configuration is saved in runtime, the current bootp DLD image names are savedin the boot.cfg file.

DLD search during bootup

The following conditions can result when you upgrade:

• If you load a new image without removing the bootp DLD entry references from theboot.cfg, then the new version of the file is not downloaded to the I/O boards. The oldI/O module DLD file is downloaded instead.

• On bootup, if a DLD file is not configured in boot.cfg, the CP code searches for aDLD file on flash with the following file name: p83r<stream name><version>.dld

File Found: The stream name and version must match the CP image being initialized. If this fileis found, its checksum is verified and it is downloaded to the I/O boards. If the boot configurationis saved, this is the DLD file name saved in boot.cfg.

Search for Alternative File: If the CP does not find this DLD file name in its flash, it searches forthe following default file name: p83r<stream name>.dld

Only the stream name must match the CP image being initialized. If this file is found, itschecksum is verified and it is downloaded to the I/O boards. If the boot configuration is saved,this is the DLD file name saved in boot.cfg.

Correcting DLD file issues

To make the system boot from the default DLD files, first clear the DLD file references made byboot.cfg:

1. Enter the boot monitor.

2. Enter the following command:bootp image defaultThis clears the DLD file entries so that the new version of p83r<streamname><version>.dld or p83r<stream name>.dld will be loaded.

Caution

Do not interrupt the DLD download once it has started or failure could occur.

Refer to Upgrading to Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 Software Release 4.0 for thedetailed procedures to upgrade the switch.

Upgrade the boot monitor



The first step in the upgrade is to use the copy command to load the Boot Monitor image to theswitch flash from a TFTP server. This can also be done by installing a PCMCIA Card in yourlaptop containing the new image and copying that to the PCMCIA card and then to flash. Forexample:

copy 192.168.10.100:p83b4100.img /flash/p83b4100.imgBoot the new image file to upgrade the Boot Monitor: Boot /flash/p83b3000.img

Upgrade the Pre-boot image

To upgrade the Pre-boot image: boot /flash/p83f4100.img

Upgrade the Run-time image

Upgrade the image by first using the copy command to load the run-time image to the switchflash from a TFTP server shown in the example CLI below. This can also be done by installinga PCMCIA Card in your laptop containing the new image and copying the image to the PCMCIAcard and then to flash.

copy 192.168.10.100:p83a4100.img /flash/p83a4100.imgcopy 192.168.10.100:p83r4100.img /flash/p83r4100.imgboot /flash/p83a4100.img

The switch will now boot the new run-time image. To direct the switch to boot the runtime imageby default as the primary image use the CLI commands:

config bootconfig choice primary image /flash/p83a4100.imgsave bootconfig

Upgrade with dual CPUs

When upgrading a dual CPU configuration, ensure that the current configuration files havebeen saved on both the Master and Standby CPUs and that they are consistent. Upgrade theBoot monitor and Pre-boot image on the Standby CPU. Then upgrade the Boot monitor andPre-boot image on the Master CPU. Upgrade the Master CPU runtime image and then upgradethe runtime image on the Standby.

Avaya's innovative stacking design of the 5500 series allows for simultaneous bi-directionaltraffic flow on each stacking port and supports an optimal data flow across the stack using ashortest path algorithm.

Most vendors today employ a traditional ring architecture, meaning that a packet travels onthe ring in only one direction. For example, in a stack of eight switches, if a packet needs to gofrom unit 2 to unit 3, it can get there in a single hop. But if a packet needs to go from unit 3 tounit 2, then it has to traverse from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and so on until it reaches unit 2. Thisrequires seven hops. The FAST stack design uses a shortest path algorithm, which means thatthe packet would traverse directly from unit 3 to unit 2 in a single hop.

• Flexible stacking across all 5500 series switches-a stack is managed as a singleentity with a single IP address.

• Cost-effective plug-and-play stacking with built-in stacking ports

• Up to 384 ports of Gigabit desktop connectivity in an 8-rack unit high design-thehighest density in the industry (8 5510-48T and/or 5520-48Ts)

• Industry-leading Gigabit Ethernet performance with innovative stacking using FAST(Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology) -providing up to 640 Gbps

• Up to 96 built-in SFP GBIC uplink ports in a stack (8 5530s)

• Up to 16 built-in 10G XFP ports in a stack (8 5530s)



AES

Avaya Energy Saver (AES)

You can use Avaya Energy Saver (AES) to reduce network infrastructure power consumptionwithout impacting network connectivity.

AES uses intelligent switching capacity reduction in off-peak mode to reduce direct powerconsumption by up to 40%. AES can also use Power over Ethernet (PoE) port power prioritylevels to shut down low priority PoE ports and provide more power savings. The powerconsumption savings of each switch is determined by the number of ports with AES enabledand by the power consumption of PoE ports that are powered off. If AES for a port is set todisabled, the port is not powered off, irrespective of the PoE configuration. AES turns off thepower to a port only when PoE is enabled globally, the port AES is enabled, and the PoEpriority for the port is configured to low.

You can schedule AES to enter lower power states during specified periods of time. These timeperiods can be a complete week, complete weekend, or individual days.

Avaya recommends disabling AES on uplink copper ports since activating or deactivating AESon copper ports will trigger a link down followed rapidly by a link up event. The best solutionis to use fiber ports for uplinks since link status will not change when AES is activated ordeactivated.

Note

Important:

If a switch is reset while energy-saver is activated, the PoE power saving calculation maynot accurately reflect the power saving, and in some cases may display zero savings. Thisis because the switch did not have sufficient time to record PoE usage between the reset ofthe switch and energy-saver being reactivated. When energy saver is next activated, the PoEpower saving calculation will be correctly updated.



Stacking Connectors

Stacking Connectors

ERS 5500 series switches have built-in stacking ports for faster, plug-and-play stacking. Thisis more cost-effective as cascade modules are not required. This stacking design frees up theuplink ports for dedicated connectivity to the backbone. Each stack link (cable) is 40 Gigabitsper second.

5500 series switches are designed with recessed stacking connectors that save premium closetspace and protect the integrity of the stack from accidental contact.

In the 5500 series switches, the stack cables can be physically connected from the UP port onone unit to the UP port on a neighbor unit, but this configuration is not supported. Always checkthat the Cable from the UP port on one unit is connected to the DOWN port on another unit.This should be a first troubleshooting step.

FAST Technology

ERS 5500 switches can stack up to eight units with a cascade stacking design, assuringcontinuous uptime even if a single switch in the stack should fail.

A loop-back or cascade cable is used to seamlessly connect the entire stack to provide nosingle point of failure. In the unlikely event of a switch failure, traffic performance is maintainedat 40 Gbps on the immediate units in either direction of the failed unit via a "wrapping" method;the remaining units in the stack continue to send traffic bi-directionally at full bandwidthcapability of 80 Gbps per switch.



Auto Unit Replacement (AUR)


The Auto Unit Replacement (AUR) feature allows users to replace a unit from a stack whileretaining the configuration of the unit. This feature requires the stack power to be on during theunit replacement.

The main feature of the AUR is the ability to retain the configuration (CFG) image of a unit ina stack during a unit replacement. The retained CFG image from the old unit is restored to thenew unit. Since retained CFG images are kept in the DRAM of the stack, the stack power mustbe kept on during the procedure.

Auto Unit Replacement (AUR) - Configuration File Replacement

• If a switch in a stack fails, theAUR feature allows the userto replace the switch with anidentical switch.

• The new switch does notneed to be running the samerelease of software becauseAAUR can upgrade thesoftware. It must be the sameswitch model.

• The configuration from thefailed switch is copied onto thenew switch.

Other information related to this feature:

• The new unit must be the same hardware configuration as the old, includingthe same number of ports. If the user adds a new unit with a different hardwareconfiguration the configuration of this unit is used. If the user adds a new unit with thesame hardware configuration then the previous configuration of the unit is overwrittenwith the restored configuration of the failed unit from the stack.

• This feature can be disabled/enabled at any time using the CLI. The default mode isENABLE.

• Customer log messages are provided.

The CFG mirror image is a mirror of a CFG image (in FLASH) of a unit in a stack. The mirrorimage does not reside in the same unit with the CFG image. The unit that contains the CFGimage is called the Associated Unit (AU) of the CFG mirror image. The MAC Address of the AUis called the Associated MAC Address (AMA) of the CFG mirror image.

An active CFG Mirror Image is a CFG mirror image that has its AU in the stack. An INACTIVECFG Mirror Image is a CFG mirror image for which the AU has been removed from the stack.When a CFG mirror image becomes INACTIVE, the INACTIVE CFG mirror image is copied toanother unit.



The stack always keeps two copies of an INACTIVE CFG mirror image in the stack in case oneunit is removed - the other unit can still provide the backup INACTIVE CFG mirror image.

Auto Unit Replacement does not work on a stack of two units only unless it is in stackforce mode. Without this configuration, if a unit fails, the remaining unit becomes astandalone switch and Auto Unit Replacement does not load the configuration of thefailed unit if it is replaced.

If multiple switches have left the stack, the last switch that left is the first switch restored (Last in,First Out).

Insert the switch into the stack. The stack copies the configuration to the switch. The switchsaves the configuration to its flash and then resets itself.




Configuring AUR

CLI Configuration

From the enable mode:

• Enable the feature=> stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable

• Disable the feature=> no stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable

• Set to Default=> default stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable

• Show the current configuration=> show stack auto-unit-replacement-image

The log messages appear for:

• AUR - enable

• AUR - disable

• AUR - default - enable

Note

After a reboot, it takes from 5-10 minutes for the configuration to be taken from all the units inthe stack. Avaya has added the following log message: “All units mirrored for the first time”, sothat you can know exactly when you can replace units after the stack has been reset.



Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR)


The Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR) feature steps in before the Auto Unit Replacement.The Agent Auto Unit Replacement feature synchronizes the software version on the new switchwhen it is inserted into the stack.

AAUR is a utility to automatically update the agent image in units with the image in the base unitif they are different during the stack-join attempt of units in a stack.

The process updates all units connected to the stack. Once a unit is updated, it resets and joinsthe stack.

The user can enable/disable the feature via CLI. This user configuration is saved across resets.The default setting for this feature is ENABLE.

Customer log messages are provided.

This feature was added in 4.2.


Auto Unit Replacement (AUR)-Software Image Replacement

Note

The ERS 4500 release 5.2.0 and above has an added ability to update the diagnostic fileswhen AAUR is enabled.



New Unit Quick Configuration Feature

New Unit Quick Configuration Feature

The New Unit Quick Configuration (quickconfig) feature allows for the creation of a defaultconfiguration that can be applied to any new unit entering a stack configuration. This allows newunits to be added to the stack without the need to reset the stack.

More importantly, this feature allows new units to be added to the stack and receivepre-configured properties such as VLAN, Spanning Tree Group port memberships etc.

The CLI commands detailed in this section are used to configure and enable this feature. Allcommands in this section are executed in the Global Configuration command mode.

CLI Commands

• To enable quickconfig:quickconfig enable

• To disable quickconfig:no quickconfig enable

• To reset quickconfig to factory defaults:default quickconfig

• To record the default configuration that will be applied to new units in the stack, fromthe base unit:quickconfig start-recording

• To end the recording process type a “.” (dot) in the CLI.

Process

1. Enable quickconfig.

2. Save a template on the base unit.

3. Insert a new switch in the stack.

4. The unit is configured with the CLI commands in the template.



Stack Troubleshooting Features

Stack Troubleshooting Features

Ethernet Switch Software (ESS) 5.1 includes the following new tools to troubleshoot stackingissues:

• Stack Loopback Test - Helps test stack cables and ports

• Stack Port Counters - Create aggregate port counts, instead of separate counts foreach of the 10Gig links in the uplink or downlink.

• Stack Monitor - Detects issues with the stack and sends traps

Stack Loopback Test

The purpose of the Stack Loopback Test is to allow the customer to quickly test the switch stackports and the stack cables.

If the customer is experiencing stack problems, the Stack Loopback Test helps the customer todetermine if the root cause is a bad stack cable or a damaged stack port.

There are two types of loopback tests: internal loopback test end external loopback test. Thepurpose of the internal loopback test is to verify that the stack ports are functional. The purposeof the external loopback test is to verify that the stack cable is functional.

For accurate results, the internal loopback test must be run before the external loopback test.

Run these tests on a standalone switch. No traffic should run through the switch while it is undertest.

Commands:stack loopback-test internalstack loopback-test external



Stack Manager

Stack Manager

Stack Manager consists of the following functional characteristics:

• Stack Link Verification - Stack link verification is done by transmitting periodichello/heart-beat packets on each stack link.

• Base Unit Selection - Base unit selection can be done using rear panel switch or frontpanel push-button switch.

• Unit Discovery - The Unit Discovery, Number Assignment, and database Exchangephases are similar to ones in the Ethernet switch architecture.

• Unit Number Assignment

• Database Exchange

• Stack Maintenance

The System Characteristics Menu, Display Hardware Units Menu, and Renumber Stack UnitsMenu are available through the Console Menu, ACLI and EDM.

Stacking Architecture



Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology (FAST)


The stacking design of the ERS5500 series allows for simultaneous bi-directional traffic flowon each stacking port and supports an optimal data flow across the stack using a shortest pathalgorithm. Most vendors today employ a traditional ring architecture, meaning that a packettravels on the ring in only one direction.

For example, in a stack of eight switches, if a packet needs to go from unit 2 to unit 3, it can getthere in a single hop. But if a packet needs to go from unit 3 to unit 2, then it has to traversefrom 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and so on until it reaches unit 2. This requires seven hops.

• The FAST stack design uses a shortest path algorithm, which means that the packetwould traverse directly from unit 3 to unit 2 in a single hop.

• Flexible stacking across all 5500 series switches—a stack is managed as a single entitywith a single IP address. • Cost-effective plug-and-play stacking with built-in stacking ports

• Up to 384 ports of Gigabit desktop connectivity in an 8-rack unit high design—the highestdensity in the industry (8 5510-48T and/or 5520-48Ts)

• Gigabit Ethernet performance with stacking using FAST — providing up to 640 Gbps• Up to 96 built-in SFP GBIC uplink ports in a stack (8 5530s)• Up to 16 built-in 10G XFP ports in a stack (8 5530s)


Stack Forced Mode

Stack Forced Mode allows one or both units to become stand-alone switches if a stack of twounits breaks. The Stack Forced Mode allows you to manage one of the stand-alone devicesfrom a broken stack of two with the previous stack IP address.

If you enable Stack Forced Mode on a stack, you enable Stack Forced Mode on all units in thestack. Stack Forced Mode becomes active only if the stack fails. Stack Forced Mode appliesto a stand-alone switch that is part of a stack of two units. When functioning in this mode, the



stand-alone switch keeps the previous stack IP settings (IP address, netmask, gateway). Thatallows an administrator to reach the device through an IP connection by telnet or EnterpriseDevice Manager.

If one unit fails, the remaining unit ( base or non-base unit) keeps the previous stack IP settings.The remaining unit issues a gratuitous ARP packet when it enters Stack Forced Mode, in orderfor other devices on the network to update their ARP cache. If the stack connection betweenthe two units fails (a stack cable failure, for example), both stand-alone units retain the IPsettings. To detect if the other stack partner is also using the previous stack IP settings, eachdevice issues an ARP request on the IP address. When a failure occurs in a stack of 2 unitswhen forced stack mode is enabled, the previous non-base unit will send out a gratuitous ARPonto the management network. The purpose of sending out this gratuitous ARP is so thatthe non-base unit of a failed 2 unit stack can determine if the base unit is still operational andusing the stack IP address. Such a failure situation in which both the base unit and non-baseunit were operational, but not part of a stack could be possible if the 2 units in a stack wereconnected by a single stack cable and that stack cable were then removed or failed. If theprevious non-base unit receives a reply from the previous base unit of the stack, then theprevious non-base unit knows that the previous base unit is still operational and does nottake over ownership of the stack IP address, but instead will use the local switch IP address ifconfigured. If on the other hand the previous non-base unit does not receive a response fromthe previous base-unit; the previous non-base unit will now take over ownership of the stack IPaddress and issue a gratuitous ARP with it's own MAC address to ensure that all devices on themanagement VLAN have their ARP caches appropriately updated.

the command structure is relatively simple and is:

stack forced-mode to enable it

no stack forced-mode to disable it

stack forced-mode default

and

show stack forced-mode

Stacking the ERS 5600

Stacking the ERS 5600

Release 6.0 provides two modes of operation for ERS 5000 Series stacks.

• Pure: with either up to eight ERS 5500 Series switches or eight ERS 5600 Seriesswitches

• Hybrid or mixed stack: a combination of up to eight ERS 5500 Series switches andERS 5600 Series switches

To integrate one or more 5600 Series switches into an existing 5500 stack:

• Set the mode parameter on the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series switches tomixed mode.

• Install only one 5600 as Non-Base Unit (NBU). It gets the configuration from theBase Unit (BU) and integrates into the stack.

• Set the existing 5500 BU as NBU (using the switch) and the new 5600 to BU.

• Once the 5600 is the BU in the stack, you can add more 5600 Series switches to thestack without losing the existing 5500 configuration.

ERS 5600 stacking features

• Up to 768 ports of Gigabit desktop connectivity in an 8-rack unit high design—thehighest density in the industry (8 5698TFDs)

Power redundancy and PoE capabilitiesERS 5600 Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet

The PoE capable ERS 5600 stackable switch is available in both a 48-port and a 96-portversion. When utilizing PoE, make sure to engineer the power requirements for the switch/stackproperly.

PoE units require the second power supply to provide the full 15.4W per port, if all ports are at15.4W. If only select ports require full power, you can achieve 15.4W per port on those portsusing a single power supply. You subtract that from the overall power budget supplied by thesingle power supply. The remaining budget can be dynamically allocated to remaining ports.
