Preliminary Understanding Priority Disconnect Installing and Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) 9/28/09 Understanding Priority Disconnect The priority disconnect function differs from the port priority function described on page 5-7 in that it applies only to the addition of powered devices (PDs) in tight power budget conditions. Priority discon- nect is used by the system software in determining whether an incoming PD will be granted or denied power when there are too few watts remaining in the PoE power budget for an additional device.
Preliminary Installing and Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Priority Disconnect 9/28/09 Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Same Priority Level on All PD Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device. When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power.
Preliminary Understanding Priority Disconnect Installing and Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) 9/28/09 Priority Disconnect is Disabled Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device.

Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack 9/28/09 Primary Management Module Selection For a stack of OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches to operate as a virtual chassis, there must be a mecha- nism for dynamically selecting the switch within the stack that will assume the primary management role. OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches use three different methods for selecting the primary switch.
Page 110
Preliminary Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Using Saved Slot Information The saved slot number is the slot number the switch will assume following a reboot. This information is stored in a switch’s boot.slot.cfg file; the switch reads its slot number assignment from this file at bootup and assumes the specified slot number within the stack.
Page 111
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack 9/28/09 Using Switch Uptime A user can override both the MAC address and saved slot methods for determining a stack’s primary management module. This is done by controlling the uptime of switches in the stack. If all elements of a stack are powered off, the user can force a particular switch to become primary by powering on that switch and waiting a minimum of 15 seconds before powering on any other switches.
Preliminary Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Secondary Management Module Selection In order to provide effective management module redundancy, all OmniSwitch 6250 Series stacked configurations dynamically assign a backup, or secondary, management module during the boot process. OmniSwitch 6250 Series stacks use two different methods for selecting the secondary switch.
Page 113
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack 9/28/09 Using Saved Slot Information If a stack with preassigned slot information for each switch is booted, the switch with the second lowest slot value is assigned the secondary management role. For example, if a stack of four switches is booted and the preassigned slot values for each switch are 1, 2, 3, and 4, the switch with the slot value of 2 is assigned the secondary role.
Preliminary Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Idle Module Role Switches that are not assigned either the primary or secondary role in a stack are, by default, assigned the role of idle modules. These idle modules operate similarly to Network Interface (NI) modules in a chassis- based switch.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack 9/28/09 Pass-Through Mode The pass-through mode is a state in which a switch has attempted to join a stack but has been denied primary, secondary, and idle status. When a switch is in the pass-through mode, its Ethernet are brought down (i.e, they cannot pass traffic).
Preliminary Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 To avoid a pass-through condition following a reboot, make sure that all saved slot values for the stack are unique. Use the stack set slot command. For example, change the saved slot value for the idle switch in slot 3 from 2 to 3: ->...
Page 117
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack 9/28/09 To resolve this pass-through condition, simply assign slot 1001 a new saved slot value and reboot the module. This can be done in either of two ways: Use the stack set slot command to assign the new value, then use the reload pass-through...
Page 118
Preliminary Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 In some pass-through conditions (for example, larger stacks where multiple switches are in pass-through mode), it might be desirable to correct any duplicate saved slot assignments and then reboot the entire stack.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Stack Cabling 9/28/09 Stack Cabling Switches in a stack are connected to each other by stacking cables. These stacking cables provide high- speed, dual-redundant links between switches in a stack. Stacking cables for OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches must be connected in an A-B pattern. In other words, the cable connected to stacking port A of one switch must be connected to stacking port B of the adjacent switch.
Preliminary Stack Cabling Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Redundant Stacking Cable Connection OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches allow redundant stacking cable connections between the top-most and bottom-most switches in a stack. Important. For a stacked configuration to have effective redundancy, a redundant stacking cable must be installed between the upper-most and bottom-most switch in the chassis at all times.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Stack Cabling 9/28/09 Redundant stacking cables provide a form of dual redundancy. As shown in the figure above, the redun- dant cable allows traffic to flow in the event of a stacking link failure. The redundant cable also provides failover if a switch goes down within the stack.
Preliminary Slot Numbering Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Slot Numbering For a stack of OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches to operate as a virtual chassis, each module in the stack must be assigned a unique slot number. To view the current slot assignments for a stack, use the show ni show module commands.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Slot Numbering 9/28/09 Dynamic Slot Number Assignment Dynamic slot number assignment occurs when there are no boot.slot.cfg files present in the switches’ /flash directories. This is the case for new, “out of the box,” switches that have not been previously booted.
Page 124
Preliminary Slot Numbering Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 If the switch with the lowest MAC address happens to be the bottom-most module in the stack, slot numbering will not resume from the top of the stack. Instead, the system software will select the second- ary module using the standard method (i.e., the switch connected to the primary’s stacking port A), then continue to number the stack from the bottom up.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Slot Numbering 9/28/09 Manual Slot Number Assignment To manually assign slot numbers to one or more modules in a stack, use the stack set slot command. This command writes slot information to the boot.slot.cfg file located in a switch’s /flash directory. It is this saved slot information that the switch will assume following a reboot.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack 9/28/09 Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack As with chassis-based switches, NI modules within an OmniSwitch 6250 Series virtual chassis are hot- swappable. NI modules are essentially those modules operating in the stack in idle mode. These modules can be removed from, or added to, an existing stack without disrupting other modules in the stack.
Preliminary Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Merging Stacks Merging stacks involves connecting two or more operational stacks and attempting to reboot them as a single virtual chassis. In most cases, errors will result. To merge stacks without causing errors, select one stack that is to remain up and running and then add modules from the other stack(s) by following the steps below: Make sure all switches are running the same software version.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Reloading Switches 9/28/09 Reloading Switches Reloading is essentially a soft boot of a switch. Users can reload stacked modules operating in any role— i.e., primary, secondary, idle, and pass-through. Refer to the sections below for more information. Reloading the Primary Management Module If the switch with the primary management role is reloaded, the switch with the secondary role automati- cally takes over primary management functions.
Page 130
Preliminary Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the secondary role when it comes back up. In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches, the slot 1 Primary - Slot 1 switch is the primary management module.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Reloading Switches 9/28/09 Reloading the Secondary Management Module If the switch with secondary management role is reloaded, the idle switch with the lowest slot number will automatically assume the secondary role. The reloaded switch (the former secondary) will assume an idle role when it comes back up.

Preliminary Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former secondary) resumes the secondary role when it comes back up. In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6250 Series switches, the slot 1 Primary - Slot 1 switch is the primary management module.
Preliminary Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks Reloading Switches 9/28/09 Reloading Switches with Idle Roles Similar to reloading Network Interface (NI) modules on chassis-based switches, modules operating in idle status within a stack can be reloaded via the CLI. Note. Any traffic being passed on the module’s Ethernet will be interrupted during the reboot. Other modules within the stack will continue to operate without interruption.
Preliminary Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6250 Series Stacks 9/28/09 Reloading All Switches in a Stack Reloading all switches in the stack is essentially a full reboot of the virtual chassis. This can be useful in restoring a stack’s previously configured topology—i.e., the stack’s saved slot numbers and management roles.
