The FTM bridging modules have connections to both FTM1 and FTM2 backplanes, which enables them to switch frames between the two backplanes and all modules in the 6C107 chassis. However, the older first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), and third (6x3xx) generation modules are still managed using their own Local Management and are not subject to management by the DFE‐Platinum module management entity. The Matrix N3 (7C103) and Matrix N7 (7C107) chassis have only FTM2 connections to support DFE‐Platinum modules or DFE‐Gold modules (not discussed in this book). Note: The Matrix N3 (7C103) and Matrix N7 (7C107) chassis will support either DFE-Platinum modules or DFE-Gold modules, but not in the same chassis. Module Placement and Rules Note: The following module placement rules apply to the DFE-Platinum series modules only.
Backplane Connections and Installation Rules Figure 3-1 Examples, Module Placement in Matrix E7 Chassis Example 1 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with DFE‐Platinum modules (7x4xxx). These modules communicate with each other via the FTM2 chassis backplane and act as a single switching entity with one IP address. The DFE‐Platinum modules are configured using a Command Line Interface set of commands. Rule: DFE‐Platinum 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 ...
Page 29
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 6x1xx, 6x2xx modules, respectively; slots 2 through 4 with DFE‐Platinum modules without a bridging module; and slots 6 and 7 with 6x3xx modules. In this module arrangement, the 6x2xx module in slot 1 and the 6x2xx module in slot 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‐Platinum modules in slots 2, 3, and 4 will operate under one IP address. Since there is no bridging module (7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, or 7H4383‐49), the DFE‐Platinum 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 DFE‐ Platinum bridging module (7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, or 7H4383‐49) in slots 1 through 5 to enable communications between all generations of modules in the chassis. Example 6 (Figure 3-1, F) The module arrangement in this example is similar to the one shown in Figure described in Example 5. The only difference is that a 7H4382‐49 bridging module is ...
No corte la bolsa antiestática para sacar el módulo. Tenga en cuenta que si algún objeto cortante entra en contacto con la placa o con los componentes, éstos podrían dañarse. To install a DFE‐Platinum module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 chassis, proceed directly to “Preparation” on page 3‐6 to start the installation process. Preparation Remove the blank panel covering the chassis slot in which the module will be installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airflow for cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to remove the module.) Remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module needs to be reshipped.) Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the chassis. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right corner of the chassis. Remove the module from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Examine the module for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Immediately contact Enterasys Networks.

Align the module card between the upper and lower card guides of the desired slot and slide it into the chassis, taking care that the module slides in straight. See Caution below. Caution: Due to the amount of force needed to properly seat the module connectors into the backplane connectors, it is best to apply force to the end of the levers to insert (or eject) the module. Otherwise, damage could result to the module and chassis. Precaución: Para colocar los conectores del módulo en los conectores del panel posterior correctamente es necesario hacer bastante fuerza, por ello, para insertar o quitar el módulo, se recomienda concentrar la fuerza en el extremo de las palancas.
Installing Module into Matrix N3 Chassis To install a DFE‐Platinum module into the Matrix N3 chassis, the installation procedure described in “Installing Module into a Matrix E7 or Matrix N7 Chassis” on page 3‐6. slot (1 through 3). Caution: When setting the locking levers to the closed position, do not try to force the locking levers to the point that they touch the face of the front panel. Forcing the locking levers to this point could damage the module and chassis.
Link Aggregation to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Platinum Series Configuration Guide for the configuration information. For details on how to obtain manuals, refer to page xiv.
Connecting to the Network Figure 3-4 Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to the 7H4202-72 1 RJ45 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: To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the GROUP SELECT button (refer back to Figure (Groups 1 through 3). Each time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which Group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each segment. b. Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. If the port is to operate at 100 Mbps, category 5 cabling must be used. Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly connected to the segment. d. 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.

Completing the Installation Completing the DFE‐Platinum module installation depends on if the module is being installed in: • a new DFE‐Platinum module system (refer to “Completing the Installation” on page 3‐21), or • an established, operating DFE‐Platinum module system (refer to “Completing the Installation in an Existing System” on page 3‐23). Completing the Installation of a New System In a new system of DFE‐Platinum modules, one of the installed DFE‐Platinum modules will become the management module on chassis power up, and all DFE‐Platinum modules will automatically be set to the factory default values. A complete list of the factory default values are provided in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide. After installing all DFE‐Platinum modules into the host chassis and making the connections to the network, proceed to the following First‐Time Log‐In Using a Console Port Connection procedure to access the module management startup screen from your PC, terminal, or modem connection.

Using LANVIEW Viewing the Receive and Transmit Activity On the 7H4202‐72, you can view the receive and transmit activity on the RX and TX LEDs. However, only one group of 24 ports may be viewed at a time. To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of attached segments, press the GROUP SELECT button (see Figure through 3). Each time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed, a GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which group is selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs for each port. Figure shows Group 3 selected and the location of Group 3, port 1 RX and TX LEDs. Figure 4-1 LANVIEW LEDs 1 MGMT LED Table 4‐1 describes the LED indications and provides recommended actions as appropriate. Note: The terms used in Flashing indicates an LED is flashing randomly. Blinking indicates an LED is flashing at a steady rate (approximately 50% on, 50% off). Solid indicates a steady LED light.
Recommended Action None. None. None. Ensure chassis has adequate power. None. If the LED remains amber for several minutes, contact Enterasys Networks for technical support. None. None. None. None. This state is activated when the OFFLINE/RESET switch is pressed for less than 1 second to start the process of an orderly shutdown.

DFE‐Platinum modules installed in a Matrix N3, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 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‐Platinum 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‐Platinum module in an operating system using the OFFLINE/ RESET switch shown in Figure DFE‐Platinum module. • Recommended shutdown procedure (page 4‐8) • Last resort shutdown procedure (not recommended) (page 4‐8) Figure 4-2 1 OFFLINE/RESET switch 4‐2.
