  • Page 27: Switch Configuration Using Cli Commands

    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 Matrix  DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. 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 modules provide IEEE 802.1D‐ 1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the  network and protect against “loop” conditions. Secure Networks Policy Support A fundamental concept that is key to the implementation of the Enterasys Secure  Networks methodology is policy‐enabled networking. This approach provides users of  the network with the resources they need—in a secure fashion—while at the same time  denying access to applications or protocols that are deemed inappropriate based on the  user’s function within the organization. By adopting such a “user‐personalized” model, it  is possible for business policies to be the guidelines in establishing the technology  architecture of the enterprise. Two major objectives are achieved in this way: IT services  are matched appropriately with individual users; and the network itself becomes an  active participant in the organization’s security strategy. The Secure Networks  architecture consists of three tiers:  • Classification rules make up the first or bottom tier. The rules apply to devices in the  Secure Networks environment, such as switches and routers. The rules are designed  to be implemented at or near the user’s point of entry to the network. Rules may be  written based on criteria defined in the Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4 information of the  data frame. • The middle tier is Services, which are collections of individual classification rules,  grouped logically to either permit or deny access to protocols or applications based on  the user’s role within the organization. Priority and bandwidth rate limiting may also  be defined in services.

    10BASE-T Network 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 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 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  4G4202‐72 or 4G4282‐49, 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.

    Module Placement and Rules Note: It is important to follow the Module Placement and Rules to ensure proper operation. The DFE‐Gold modules can be installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5,  or Matrix N7 chassis. The slot locations in the Matrix E7, N3, N5, and N7 chassis are  identified in Figure Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only.
  • Page 42 Module Placement and Rules Example 1 (Figure Shows one module installed in the chassis. If the chassis is populated with only one  4xxxxx, it must be installed in slot 1.  Rule: If only one 4xxxxx is installed in the chassis, it must be in slot 1. Always install a  4xxxxx in slot 1 of the chassis. Example 2 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with 4xxxxx modules. All modules may be hot  swapped, except the module in slot 1. If the module in slot 2 is designated as a redundant  management module, the module in slot 1 may be hot swapped without shutting down  the system. The module in slot 2 can be designated using the CLI command  set license <license key>. For information on how to use this command, refer to the Matrix DFE‐Gold Series  Configuration Guide. To access this guide on the web, refer to  “Related Documents” on  page xiv.  Without a designated redundant management module in slot 2, removing the module in  slot 1 will shut down the system. Rule: Any module in a 4xxxxx system, including the management module in slot 1, may  be hot swapped when there is a 4xxxxx module designated as a redundant management  module in slot 2.

    Connecting to the Network Connecting UTP Cables The fixed RJ45 front panel connections of the 4G4202‐72 and 4G4282‐49 are 10/100/1000  Mbps ports. These ports have internal crossovers, and also support automatic‐polarity  sensing when configured for automatic‐negotiation. If automatic‐negotiation is not activated on a port, use a straight‐through cable when  connecting a workstation to the port. When connecting a networking device to the port,  such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable. If a port is set for auto‐negotiation, automatic‐polarity sensing is also activated.  Automatic‐polarity sensing eliminates the need for a crossover cable, whether the  connection is to another network device or a workstation. Note: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 4G4202-72 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms.
