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. •...

Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis 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. Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis If you want to mix 6x1xxx, 6x2xxx, 6x3xxx, and 7H43xx‐xx series modules in the same Matrix E7 chassis, it is necessary to have a DFE bridging module installed and follow the instructions described in “Module Placement and Rules” on page 3‐7 to successfully bridge data traffic to some or all modules in the Matrix E7 chassis. At the time of this printing, the FTM1‐to‐FTM2 bridging modules available are: 7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, 7H4383‐49, and 7H4385‐49. 1000BASE-SX/LX/ELX Network Optional Mini‐GBICs installed in the 7G4280‐19 front‐panel ports 1 through 18, or in an optional network expansion module provide Gigabit Ethernet connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).

Installing Optional Mini-GBICs Removing the Mini-GBIC Caution: Do NOT remove a Mini-GBIC from a slot without releasing the locking tab located at the front of the Mini-GBIC. This can damage the Mini-GBIC. The Mini-GBIC and its host device are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure.
Backplane Connections and Installation Rules Note: A lowercase x indicates the general use of an alphanumeric character (for example, 6x1xx, the x’s indicate a combination of numbers or letters). The following sections describe the FTM1 and FTM2 backplane connections, and the hardware configuration rules when installing first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), third (6x3xx), and fourth (7xxxxx) generation modules into the same Matrix E7 chassis. FTM1 and FTM2 Connectivity The Matrix E7 (6C107) chassis has backplanes referred to as FTM1 and FTM2. The 7xxxxx DFE modules use FTM2 for high speed communication to each other and operate as one switching unit with a single IP address. The traffic through these modules does not ...
Backplane Connections and Installation Rules Figure 3-4 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. 3-8 Installation Examples, Module Placement in Matrix E7 Chassis 3-4, 3-4,...
Page 39
Example 4 (Figure 3-4, 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 3-4, 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 3-4, F)

Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to Mini-GBICs This section provides the procedure for connecting 1‐Gigabit Ethernet fiber‐optic segments from the network or other devices to Mini‐GBIC MT‐RJ or LC port connectors. Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable: Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) The transmit strand from a module 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 MT‐RJ port on the module connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device (shown in Figure Figure 3‐14). The following procedure describes how to connect an MT‐RJ cable (Figure to a Mini‐GBIC port connector. This procedure also applies to an LC cable connector shown in (Figure 3‐14). Refer to Figure Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the MT‐RJ fiber‐optic port on the Mini‐GBIC and from the connectors on each end of the cable. Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent contamination. 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.

The DFE modules installed in a Matrix E7,Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, or Matrix N7 chassis are interdependent and operate under a single IP address as a single, distributed switch system (hardware, databases, and persistent storage). In this operating environment, the DFE module must shut down in an orderly fashion to ensure that the other modules in the system and other devices on the network are notified of the impending change. The device(s) can then make intelligent decisions and stabilize the network before the change is made; thereby increasing network availability. You can shut down a DFE module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/RESET switch shown in Figure • Recommended shutdown procedure (“Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch” on page 4‐8) • Last resort shutdown procedure (not recommended) Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch” on page 4‐8) Figure 4-2 1 OFFLINE/RESET switch 4‐2.
