Power Up
Check the front-panel LED as the device powers on to be sure
the PWR LED is green. If it's not, make sure the power cord is
plugged in correctly. The switch will power on immediately
when it is connected to a suitable power source.
7
Install SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers
Note: Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and
operating normally. Verify that the transceivers and network
cabling support your network configuration. For a complete list of
supported transceivers, see the Release Notes for your VSP
8000 model.
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 8000
Console port cabling specifications:
Ensure to use 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 8000 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
PC or device with DB-9 MALE
RJ-45 ADAPTOR
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
to convert DB-9 of AL2011013-E6
RJ-45 ADAPTOR
console cable to RJ-45.
On your VSP 8000 switch, the console port (l0l0l) 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.

1. Connect the console cable from the terminal to the
console port (l0l0l) of the switch to allow initial
configuration. Any 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 a management interface
Use one of the following steps to configure either an
in-band or an out-of-band management interface.
Step 2a:
Configure an in-band management IP interface and VLAN
Note: The following procedure uses VLAN 20 and IP address
10.139.43.17 as an example.
1. Create a VLAN:
Switch:1(config)# vlan create 20 type port-mstprstp 0
2. Add VLAN members:
Switch:1(config)# vlan members add 20 1/1-1/4
3. Activate ports:
Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitEthernet1/1-1/4
Switch:1(config-if)# no shutdown
4. Configure an IP interface for the VLAN:
Switch:1(config)# interface vlan 20
Switch:1(config)# ip address 10.139.43.17 255.255.255.0
5. Add a static route:
Switch:1(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.139.43.1
weight 1
Step 2b:
Configure an out-of-band management IP interface and
VLAN
1. Configure the management interface:
Switch:1(config)# interface mgmtEthernet mgmt
Switch:1(config-if)# ip address 10.139.43.17/24
2. Configure static routes:
Switch:1(config)# router vrf mgmtrouter
Switch:1(config-vrf)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.139.43.1
