This chapter introduces the C2K122‐24 stackable switch. Depending on the firmware version used in the switch, some features described in this document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the C2K122-24 features are supported. Overview The C2K122‐24 is a stackable switch, which can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. The switch provides 24‐Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10‐Gigabit Ethernet interface port slots. The switch provides a management platform and uplink to a backbone for a stacked group of up to eight SecureStack switches. The two built‐in XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) interface slots provide you with the option of installing 802.3ae XFP‐compliant modules 10GBASE‐L/‐LR/‐ER fiber‐optic connections for 10‐Gbps high speed uplinks to the network backbone.
Rear panel Redundant Power Supply connector for a redundant power supply connection. The switch connects to an Enterasys C2RPS‐SYS using a C2RPS‐PSM Cable. Caution: The C2K122-24 is not a PoE-compliant device. Do not connect a SecureStack C2 PoE Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the power connector. Otherwise, damage to the device may result. Precaución: El dispositivo C2K122-24 no cumple con el estándar PoE. No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack C2 PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente directa.
High-Speed Stack Connections The switch has rear‐panel connectors for high‐speed connections in a stack configuration. The high‐speed stacking cables used for the connections are optional items and must be ordered separately. There are two types of cables: • C2CAB‐SHORT cables to connect two adjacent switches in the stack, and • C2CAB‐LONG cable to connect from the top switch to the bottom switch in the stack. This cable can also be used in place of the C2CAB‐SHORT cable to connect switches that are too far apart due to the physical arrangement of the switches in the stack. Redundant Power Supply Capability The switch has redundant power supply capability when connected to an optional external redundant power supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the switch without interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy. Connectivity You can connect this switch to Gigabit Ethernet networks or workstations by way of the 1000BASE‐T compliant fixed‐front panel RJ45 connectors and also use two uplink ports that support optional 10‐Gigabit fiber‐optic XFP transceivers for high‐speed uplinks to your network backbone. At the time of this printing, three versions of the XFP transceivers that are available from Enterasys are described in Table 802.3ae 10‐Gigabit standard. For fiber optic and operating range specifications, refer to “Supported XFP Transceiver Interface Options” on page A‐3 Table 1-1 Description of XFPs 10GBASE-SR-XFP 10GBASE-LR-XFP 10GBASE-ER-XFP 1‐1 on page 1‐3. These XFPs meet or exceed the IEEE ...
Management Management Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks’ NetSight application, or the WebView application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through the DB9 console port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. Switch Configuration Using WebView Enterasys Networks’ HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks. Switch Configuration Using CLI Commands The CLI commands enable you to perform more complete switch configuration management tasks. For CLI command set information and how to configure the module, refer to the SecureStack C2 Configuration Guide. Standards Compatibility The switches are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.1D‐1998, and 802.1Q‐1998 standards. The switches provide IEEE 802.1D‐1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions.

About SecureStack C2 Switch Operation in a Stack The SecureStack C2 products are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight SecureStack switches. Once installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network expands. You can also mix different products in the family in a single stack to provide a desired combination of port types and functions to match the requirements of individual applications. In all cases, a stack of switches performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in “Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables” on page 3‐9, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack. • The hierarchy of the switches that will assume the function of backup manager is also determined in case the current manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack. • The console port on the manager switch remains active for out‐of‐band (local) switch management, but the console port on each member switch is deactivated. This enables you to set the IP address and system password using a single console port. Now each switch can be configured locally using only the manager’s console port, or inband using a remote device and the CLI set of commands described in this section. For procedures used for various types of connections to the Console port, refer to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐16. Once a stack is created (more than one switch is interconnected), the following occurs: Switch (unit) IDs are arbitrarily assigned on a first‐come, first‐served basis.
The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.
• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.
Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to details If the switch is a standalone switch, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack. 3-14 Hardware Installation Switch Rear View Á...
If you are installing an optional redundant power system (C2RPS‐SYS), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the RPS. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐PSM using a C2RPS‐PSM Cable.

Connecting to the Network Connecting to the Network The following procedures cover the cable connections from the network or other devices to the switch RJ45 ports or any installed optional XFP. • Connecting UTP Cables on page 3‐20 • Connecting Fiber‐Optic Cables to LC Ports on page 3‐23 Connecting UTP Cables The fixed RJ45 front panel ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and have internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation to these ports, use a straight‐through cable. When connecting networking devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable. Note: All fixed RJ45 front panel ports support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be used if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.

Connecting to the Network Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable: • Transmit (TX) • Receive (RX) The transmit strand from a device port connects to the receive port of a fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable LC port connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device. Enterasys recommends labeling fiber‐optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are pre‐labeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable. To connect an LC cable connector to a fixed LC connector of an XFP, refer to Figure and proceed as follows: Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions.
Figure 3-17 Cable Connection to LC Fiber-Optic Connectors  1 XFP LC port connector 2 LC cable connector Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device. Some cables may be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one for each fiber‐optic strand. In this case, ensure that the transmit fiber‐optic strand is connected to the receive port and the receive fiber‐optic strand to the transmit port. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Link/Activity LED is on (blinking green or solid green). If the Link/Activity LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on: Verify that the device at the other end of the segment is ON and connected to the segment. b. If there are separate fiber‐optic connections on the other device, check the crossover of the cables. Swap the cable connections if necessary. Check that the fiber‐optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide for multimode mode cabling. To obtain this document, refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi. If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter details. If a problem persists, refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐5 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support. Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made. à À...
Completing the Installation Completing the Installation After installing the switch and making the connections to the network, access the switch management, as described below. Initial Logon to Switch Management To initially access switch management from your local PC, terminal, or modem connection, proceed as follows at the displayed startup screen: Enter rw (Read‐Write) for Username. At the Password prompt, press Enter (Return). For details on how to configure the switch using the command line interface, refer to the SecureStack C2 Configuration Guide. The CLI commands enable you to set a new password and perform more involved management configurations on the switch.
