Enterasys SecureStack C3 C3G124-24P Quick Reference

How to Use This Guide
®
Use this guide to quickly set up your Enterasys SecureStack
switch. Enterasys Networks recommends that you refer to the
Enterasys SecureStack C3 Hardware Installation Guide associated
with your switch for specifications and safety warnings.

Handling the Switch
™
C3
Caution: The switch can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
To prevent electrostatic damage, attach an electrostatic discharge
(ESD) wrist strap to your wrist before handling the switch.
Unpacking the Switch
Unpack the switch as follows:
1. Remove the packing material protecting the switch.
2. Remove the tape seal on the non‐conductive bag to remove the
switch.
3. Perform a visual inspection of the switch for any signs of
physical damage. Contact Enterasys Networks if there are any
signs of damage. See "Getting Help" for more information on
contacting Enterasys Networks.
Installing the C3K-2XFP IOM
Note: The C3K-2XFP IOM is installed in C3K switches labeled with
a -G and is an optional add-on for all other C3K switches.
1. Remove the coverplate that conceals the expansion slot by
loosening its two captive screws.
2. With your antistatic wrist strap attached, gently insert the
C3K‐2XFP IOM into the switch guide rails (as displayed in
Figure 7) until the IOM engages the connector on the backplane
and the module locks into place.
3. Tighten the captive screws on the front of the C3K‐2XFP IOM.

Connecting Power to the Switch
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Note: Enterasys Networks recommends installing any components
before powering on your switch.
You can connect to a single, primary source of power, or to two
sources of power for redundancy. The example used here describes
connecting to two power sources.
The following redundant power supplies are available to be
purchased from Enterasys Networks for connection to a C3 switch:
• C2RPS‐PSM, a 102‐156 watt DC power supply capable of
providing power to a fully‐loaded non‐PoE switch.
• C2RPS‐POE (C3K122‐24P, C3G124‐24P, and C3G124‐48P only),
500 watt DC power supply recommended for full PoE capability.
To power‐up your C3 switch:
1. Attach the power cord from your redundant power supply into
the C3 switch's redundant power receptacle.
2. Attach the AC power cord to the C3 switch's AC power
receptacle.
3. Plug the redundant power supply and the C3 switch AC
power cord into dedicated, grounded AC outlets.
4. Once power is connected, verify that the RPS power LED turns
green, and the CPU (system) LED turns amber until the C3
switch finishes its initialization.
5. If the initialization process is successful, the CPU LED turns
green. If the CPU LED does not turn green, refer to the
Enterasys SecureStack C3 Hardware Installation Guide associated
with your C3 switch for troubleshooting information.
Completing Switch Setup and Downloading the Latest
Firmware
Once you have connected power to the C3 switch and verified
LED activity, you can complete the setup process as follows. Refer
to the Enterasys SecureStack C3 Hardware Installation Guide
associated with your C3 switch for more information.
1. Determine the latest C3 firmware version by visiting the
Enterasys Networks download site at:
http://secure.enterasys.com/services/support/downloads/software
2. Connect the switch to the network.
3. Connect a management station to the console port.
4. Verify that the network devices connected to the switch ports
are powered on, and that each link/activity LED is on (solid
green or blinking green).
5. At the device connected to the console port, perform the
following:
a. Enter admin for Username.
b. At the Password prompt, press ENTER (RETURN).
c. At the command prompt, determine if the latest firmware
image is loaded on the switch by entering this command:
show version
d. If the output (under FW Version) displays an older version
number than that determined in Step 1, download and
activate the new version as directed on the download website.
(Alternatively, you can use the CLI command listed in
Table 1.)
Basic Setup Commands
Table 1 lists CLI commands that are required for setting up the C3
switch with the latest firmware. Table 2 lists additional
configuration commands for your C3 switch. For the complete list
of CLI commands, see the Enterasys SecureStack C3 Configuration
Guide.
