Power Up
1. Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch, and then
plug the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet.
Note: You will need two power cords if you have installed a
redundant PSU.
Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the 4000
Series switch and the power receptacle type in your country.
2. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure
the PWR LED is lit. If not, check if the power cord is plugged in
correctly. The switch will power on immediately when it is
connected to a suitable AC power source.

Install SFP and SFP+ transceivers
Note: Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and
operating normally. Verify that the SFP or SFP+ transceivers and
network cabling support your network configuration.
1. Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.
2. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the
network configuration.
3. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.
4. Insert the transceiver into the proper SFP/SFP+ slot on the
switch as illustrated. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver
until it clicks and locks into position in the slot.

Connect the console cable to the VSP 4000
Console port cabling specifications:
Ensure the use of Category 5E or higher specification cabling
for 1 Gbps/1000 Mbps operation. RJ-45 console port cables
are as follows:
PEC Code
Name
Short Description
AL2011022-E6
Avaya RJ-45/DB-9
The VSP 4000 has an RJ-45 female
CONSOLE CABLE
connector, so a serial cable with
RJ-45 connectors, or a serial cable
with a DB-9 female connector on
one end and an RJ-45 on the other
is appropriate.
The maximum length for the console
port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).
AL2011020-E6
AVAYA RED DB-9
Converts DB-9 MALE to RJ-45 serial
FEMALE TO
port. The adaptor can be used for
RJ-45 ADAPTOR
PC or device with DB-9 MALE
console port. Also, can be used with
Category 5 RJ-45 straight cable to
provide console connection.
AL2011021-E6
AVAYA BLUE
Converts DB-9 FEMALE to RJ-45
DB-9 MALE TO
serial port. This adaptor can be used
RJ-45 ADAPTOR
to convert DB-9 of AL2011013-E6
console cable to RJ-45.
On your VSP 4000 switch, the console port is the RJ-45 port
outlined with a blue border on the front of your switch (note
orientation). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch
console port to your management terminal. Use adaptors to
provide different connection options. The maximum length of a
console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The following tables
describe the RJ-45 and DB-9 console port pin-out information.
You can use the pin-out information to verify or create a
console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.

or PC with the appropriate terminal emulator can be used as
the management station.
2. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal
emulation program to VT100 or VT100/ANSI.
3. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal
emulation application.

Configure an in-band VLAN and a
management IP interface for the VLAN
Note: In the following procedure you create a VLAN with
ID 20 and name Avaya.
1. Create a VLAN:
VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#vlan
create 20 name Avaya type port
2. Add VLAN members:
VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#vlan members add 20 1/4
3. Configure a management IP interface for the VLAN
(for example, 47.17.123.85)
VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#interface vlan 20
VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#ip address
47.17.123.85 255.255.255.0
