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 Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. 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.
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations. 1-8 Introduction...
100BASE-TX Network 1000BASE-T Network The network installation must meet the requirements to ensure satisfactory performance of this equipment. Failure to do so will produce poor network performance. Note: The Enterasys Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide and the Cabling Guide referred to in the following sections can be found on the Enterasys Networks World Wide Web site: http://www.enterasys.com/ Refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi for additional information.
Link Aggregation Link Aggregation is a method of grouping multiple physical ports on a network device into one logical link according to the IEEE 802.3ad‐2002 standard. Because Link Aggregation is standards based, it allows for automatic configuration with manual overrides (if applicable), and can operate on 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps Ethernet full duplex ports. Thus the network administrator can combine a group of five 100 Mbps ports into a logical link (trunk) that functions as a single 500 Mbps port. As long as the DFE modules agree on which ports are in the trunk, there are no problems with looping, and the Spanning Tree can treat this trunk as a single port. 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‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the RJ45 fixed front‐panel ports of the 7G4285‐49 or 7G4205‐72, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T and 802.3af‐2003 standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing applications over Ethernet cabling. For more information about PoE, refer to Appendix Note: If a port is to operate at 100 or 1000 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.
100BASE-TX Network The fixed front panel ports of the 7G4285‐49 and 7G4205‐72 provide a connection that supports Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. The fixed front‐panel ports also support the 802.3af‐2003 standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing applications over existing cabling. For more information about PoE, refer to Appendix Note: The fixed ports of the modules support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation. The modules are capable of operating at either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The module automatically senses the speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.

DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules Figure 3-1 Example 1 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with DFE modules (7xxxxx). These modules communicate with each other via the FTM2 chassis backplane and act as a single switching entity with one IP address. The DFE modules are configured using a Command Line Interface set of commands. Rule: DFE modules can be installed in any available chassis slot in the Matrix E7 chassis. Example 2 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with third generation modules (6x3xx). These modules can also be installed in any available chassis slot in the Matrix E7 chassis, but operate as individual modules with separate IP addresses. Each module is configured using Local Management. Rule: The 6x3xx modules can be installed in any available chassis slot in the Matrix E7 chassis. Example 3 (Figure Shows chassis slots 1 through 5 populated with first and second generation modules (6x1xx and 6x2xx). If a 6x1xx or 6x2xx series module is installed in slot 6 or 7, it will operate in standalone mode (no backplane connectivity). Like the 6x3xx modules, the 6x1xx and 6x2xx modules operate as individual modules with separate IP addresses, and each one is configured using Local Management. Rule: The 6x1xx and 6x2xx modules can communicate with each other when they are installed in chassis slots 1 through 5 in the Matrix E7 chassis. If installed in slot 6 or 7, they operate in standalone mode. 3-4 Installation Examples, Module Placement in Matrix E7 Chassis 3-1, 3-1,...
Page 37
Example 4 (Figure 3-1, Shows chassis slots 1 through 5 populated with a mix of 6x1xx, 6x2xx, and 6x3xx modules and only third generation modules in slots 6 and 7. In this module arrangement, the 6x3xx module provides a proxy bridge, which enables the 6x1xx and 6x2xx modules to communicate with 6x3xx modules in slot 6 or 7. If more than one 6x3xx module is installed in slots 1 to 5, the module in the lowest numbered slot performs the proxy function for slots 6 and 7. Therefore, if a 6x3xx module is already performing the proxy function, and another 6x3xx module is inserted into a lower numbered slot, connectivity will be temporarily interrupted, as the new board takes over the proxy function. When a 6x3xx module in a lower numbered slot is removed, and there is a 6x3xx module in a higher numbered slot, communication is not interrupted. For Local Management, plugging the Local Management connection into the 6x3xx modules will allow management connections to all 6x1xx, 6x2xx, and 6x3xx modules. If the Local Management connection is to a 6x1xx or 6x2xx board, only the modules in the first five slots will be recognized by the management client. Rule: There must be at least one 6x3xx module in slots 1 through 5 to enable communications between the 6x1xx, 6x2xx, and 6x3xx modules. Example 5 (Figure 3-1, E) Shows chassis slots 1 and 5 populated with 6x2xx and 6x1xx modules, respectively; slots 2 through 4 with DFE modules without a bridging module; and slots 6 and 7 with 6x3xx modules. In this module arrangement, the 6x2xx and 6x1xx modules in slots 1 and 5 can only communicate with each other, because there is no 6x3xx module in one of the first five slots to serve as the proxy bridge to communicate with the 6x3xx modules in slots 6 and 7. The 7x4xxx DFE modules in slots 2, 3, and 4 will operate under one IP address. Since there is no DFE bridging module, the DFE modules will not communicate with any other modules in the chassis. Rule: In this example, there must be at least one 6x3xx series module, and a bridging module in any of the slots 1 through 5 to enable communications between all generations of modules in the chassis. Example 6 (Figure 3-1, F)

Connecting 48 Vdc Power for PoE Operation Connecting 48 Vdc Power for PoE Operation The Matrix N7 (7C105‐P) chassis provides 48 Vdc to connected PDs (powered devices) by way of its backplane connection to a PoE‐compliant DFE module such as the 7G4285‐49 or 7G4205‐72. For a Matrix E7, (6C107), Matrix N3 (7C103) and Matrix N7 (7C107) chassis, an optional external Enterasys Matrix N‐POE Power System is required to support PD connections to the 7G4285‐49. The power from the Matrix N‐POE Power System is supplied through a DC power cable connection to the front‐panel 48 Vdc Optional Power connector on the 7G4285‐49. Warning: The 48 V wire harness contains two fuses, F11 and F29. If a fuse needs to be replaced, it must be done by service personnel only.
Connecting UTP Cables to DFE Modules The fixed RJ45 front panel connections of the 7G4285‐49 and 7G4205‐72 are 10/100/ 1000 Mbps ports. These ports have internal crossovers, and 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, regardless if the connection is to another network device or a workstation. Note: All RJ45 front panel ports on these DFE modules 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 Figure 3-4 1 RJ45 cable connector Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on: Note: If the RX and TX LEDs of a port do not indicate a link and the end-point device is a PD, you may have a port without 48 Vdc to operate the PD. To check the PoE Port Status, refer to To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the ...
Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pinouts and check the cable for continuity. Typically, a crossover cable is used between hub devices. A straight‐through cable is used to connect between switches or hub devices and an end user (computer). Refer to Figure Figure 3‐6 for four‐wire RJ45 connections. Refer to Figure 3‐7 and Figure eight‐wire RJ45 connections.

Ensure that the twisted pair connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide. Refer to “Related Documents” in About This Guide for information on obtaining this document. If a link is not established and it is connected to a PD (Powered Device), check the PoE Port Status to ensure that there is 48 Vdc power at the 7G4285‐49 or 7G4205‐72 RJ45 port. Refer to “Verifying PoE Port Status” on page 3‐17. If there is still a problem, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xviii for details. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above, until all connections have been made. Verifying PoE Port Status If a PD is connected to the 7G4285‐49 or 7G4205‐72 RJ45 port, ensure that there is power at the RJ45 port as follows: Press on the GROUP SELECT switch for more than one second. The 7G4285‐49/ 7G4205‐72 will enter the PoE status mode, which will indicate a set of power status conditions relating to the PoE Port Status. Now, every time you press the GROUP SELECT switch for less than a second, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which group is selected. The PoE POWER STATUS for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each segment. If there is power at the port, the RX LED is green and the TX LED is off. Otherwise, refer to Chapter Press on the GROUP SELECT switch again for more than one second. This returns the 7G4285‐49/7G4205‐72 to port RX (receive) and TX (transmit) status mode. 4 for troubleshooting information.

This appendix provides an overview of Power over Ethernet Technology and how it is implemented in relation to the 7G4285‐49 and 7G4205‐72 DFE modules. Overview Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide operational power through the same Ethernet cabling to a PD (powered device) connected to a data network. Modern Ethernet implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This requires a minimum of two twisted pairs for a single physical link. Both ends of the cable are isolated with transformers blocking any DC or common mode voltage on the signal pair. PoE exploits this fact by using two twisted pairs as the two conductors to supply a direct current. One pair carries the power supply current and the other pair provides a path for the return current. While several proprietary legacy implementations of PoE have been deployed by LAN equipment vendors, in 2003 the IEEE published the IEEE 802.3af‐2003 specification, which is part of the 802.3 suite of standards. The 7G4285‐49 and 7G4205‐72 are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. They support the standard resistor based detection method, as well as AC disconnect capability. The 7G4285‐49 and 7G4205‐72 are also capable of supplying the maximum specified current to all ports simultaneously. Each PD has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the DFE module for power management purposes. Table power ranges. Table C-1 Powered Device Classifications Class About PoE (Power over Ethernet) C‐1 lists the classifications and the associated Usage Default Optional Optional Optional Not Allowed PD Maximum Power Range Usage 0.44 to 12.95 Watts 0.44 to 3.84 Watts 3.84 to 6.49 Watts...
Power System power supplies. This 48 Vdc Optional Power Input interface is not fused as the N‐PoE Power System has a circuit breaker for each PoE switch module power feed. Warning: The DFE module is shipped with a cover over its 48 Vdc Optional Power Input connector. Do not remove this cover when the DFE module is installed in an N5 chassis. This cover is removed only when you connect a 48 Vdc power cable from the Enterasys N-POE Power System.
PoE Port Status LEDs The PoE port status of each 10/100/1000 Mbps front‐panel port is indicated by the two‐color RX and TX LED display for each port. To observe the PoE port status indications, you must switch the DFE module management system from the default RX/ TX Status Mode to the PoE Port Status Mode using the DFE module front‐panel GROUP SELECT switch. The switch operation and a description of how to use the LED indications are described in “Using LANVIEW” on page 4‐1. Table C‐2 provides a brief description of each port status RX/TX LED display.
