Each of the fixed front panel ports can operate in either half‐duplex or full‐duplex mode of operation. The duplex mode can be determined by either auto‐negotiation or manual configuration. The DFE‐Gold module ports can be configured to control traffic by limiting the rate of traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite the flow of higher priority traffic through the module. The DFE‐Gold module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into theMatrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 chassis. The information concerning the DFE module features and how to configure them to a network are provided in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. 4G4202-60 The 4G4202‐60 is an edge‐network switch with 60, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX/1000BASE‐T ports via 60 front‐panel RJ45 connectors. 4G4282-41 The 4G4282‐41 is an edge‐network switch with 40, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX/1000BASE‐T compliant ports via 40 fixed front‐panel RJ45 connectors and a slot for an optional network expansion module (NEM). Optional Network Expansion Module (NEM) The 4G4282‐41 option slot provides access to an installed network expansion module (NEM).

Secure Networks Policy Support Policy Enabled Networking manages the allocation of networking infrastructure resources in a secure and effective manner. Using Secure Networks Policy, an IT Administrator can predictably assign appropriate resources to the Users, Applications, and Services that use the network; while blocking or containing access for inappropriate or potentially dangerous network traffic. Using this technology it is possible, for the first time, to align IT services with the needs of specific users and applications, and to leverage the network as a key component of the organization’s security strategy. The Secure Networks Policy Architecture consists of 3 components: Classification Rules, Network Services, and Behavioral Profiles. These are defined as follows: • Classification Rules determine how specific traffic flows (identified by Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 information in the data packet) are treated by each Switch or Router. In general, Classification Rules are applied to the networking infrastructure at the network edge/ingress point. • Network Services are logical groups of Classification Rules that identify specific networked applications or services. Users may be permitted or denied access to these services based on their role within the organization. Priority and bandwidth rate limiting may also be controlled using Network Services. • Behavioral Profiles (or roles) are used to assign Network Services to groups of users who share common needs–for example Executive Managers, Human Resources Personnel, or Guest Users. Access, resources, and security restrictions are applied as appropriate to each Behavioral Profile. A variety of authentication methods including 802.1X, EAP‐TLS, EAP‐TTLS, and PEAP may be used to classify and authorize each individual user; and the IT Administrator may also define a Behavioral Profile to apply in the absence of an authentication framework. Standards Compatibility The DFE‐Gold modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.1D‐1998, and 802.1Q‐1998 standards. The DFE‐Gold module provides IEEE 802.1D‐ 1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an ...
Failure to do so will produce poor network performance. Note: The Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Guide and the Cabling Guide referred to in the following sections can be found on the Enterasys Networks World Wide Web site:...
In normal usage (and typical implementations) there is no need to enable/disable ports for Link Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol, no aggregations will be formed and the DFE modules will function normally (that is, Spanning Tree will block redundant paths). For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation function, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the fixed front panel ports of the 4G4202‐60 or 4G4282‐41, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details. Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 or Category 5 cabling can be used.

Figure 3-4 ➀ RJ45 connector ➁ RJ45 port connector Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) ➃ LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on: To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the GROUP SELECT button (Groups 1 through 3 on 4G4202‐60 as shown in 4G4202‐60, or Groups 1 through 5 on the 4G4282‐41). Each time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which Group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each segment. b. Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. If the port is to operate at 100 Mbps, category 5 cabling must be used.

Completing the Installation Completing the DFE module installation depends on if the module is being installed in • A new DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation” on page 3‐22), or • An established, operating DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation of a DFE‐Gold Module in an Existing System” on page 3‐24). Completing the Installation of a New System In a new system of DFE modules, one of the installed DFE modules will become the management module on chassis power up, and all DFE modules will automatically be set to the factory default values. A complete list of the factory default values are provided in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. After installing all DFE‐Gold modules into the host chassis and making the connections to the network, proceed to the following First‐Time Log‐In Using a Console Port Connection procedure to access the module management startup screen from your PC, terminal, or modem connection. 3-22 Modem Port Adapter Wiring and Signal Diagram DB25 Conductor Blue Orange Green...

Viewing the Receive and Transmit Activity On the 4G4202‐60 and 4G4282‐41, you can view the receive and transmit activity on the RX and TX LEDs. However, only one group of 20 ports may be viewed at a time. To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of attached segments, press the GROUP SELECT button (see Figure 4‐1) to step to the group of interest (Groups 1 ‐ 3 for the 4G4202‐60, and Groups 1 ‐ 5 for the 4G4282‐41). Each time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each port.

The DFE‐Gold modules installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis are interdependent and operate under a single IP address as a single, distributed switch system (hardware, databases, and persistent storage). In this operating environment, the DFE‐Gold module must shut down in an orderly fashion to ensure that the other modules in the system and other devices on the network are notified of the impending change. The device(s) can then make intelligent decisions and stabilize the network before the change is made; thereby increasing network availability. You can shut down a DFE‐Gold module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/ RESET switch shown in Figure module. • Recommended shutdown procedure (page 4‐8) • Last resort shutdown procedure (not recommended) (page 4‐8) Figure 4-13 ➀ OFFLINE/RESET switch (in similar location on 4G4282-41) 4‐13.

Note: The only safe time to pull a DFE-Gold module out of the chassis is when the CPU LED is alternately flashing amber/off. Otherwise, system operation will be interrupted. Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch Caution: This method of shutting down a DFE module is not recommended except as a last resort, because all processes currently running on the module will be interrupted resulting in loss of frames.
