Redundant Power Supply Capability The switch has redundant power supply capability when connected to an optional external redundant power supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the switch without interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy. Connectivity You can connect this switch to Gigabit Ethernet networks or workstations by way of optional Mini‐GBICs installed in the 24 SFP port slots for 1000BASE‐SX/‐EX/‐ELX fiber‐optic connections and 1000BASE‐T copper connections. At the time of this printing, the Mini‐GBICs supported and available from Enterasys are described in Table standard.

About SecureStack C2 Switch Operation in a Stack The SecureStack C2 products are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight SecureStack switches. Once installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network expands. You can also mix different products in the family in a single stack to provide a desired combination of port types and functions to match the requirements of individual applications. In all cases, a stack of switches performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in “Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables” on page 3‐11, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack. • The hierarchy of the switches that will assume the function of backup manager is also determined in case the current manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack. • The console port on the manager switch remains active for out‐of‐band (local) switch management, but the console port on each member switch is deactivated. This enables you to set the IP address and system password using a single console port. Now each switch can be configured locally using only the manager’s console port, or inband using a remote device and the CLI set of commands described in this section. For procedures used for various types of connections to the Console port, refer to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐17. Once a stack is created (more than one switch is interconnected), the following occurs: Switch (unit) IDs are arbitrarily assigned on a first‐come, first‐served basis.
The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.
• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.
Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to details If the switch is a standalone switch, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack. RPS Power If you are installing an optional redundant power system (C2RPS‐SYS), refer to the ...
Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all high-speed stacking cables are connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active.
Connecting to Console Port for Local Management What Is Needed The following is a list of user‐supplied DTE interface cables that may be needed to connect the DB9 male Console port connector on the switch. The cables are terminated by a DB9 female connector at one end, and by one of three type connectors at the other end, depending on the type connection needed for the remote device. The cables that may be needed are as follows: • DB9 female‐to‐DB9 female • DB9 female‐to‐DB25 female • DB9 female‐to‐DB25 male Using a DTE modem DB9 female‐to‐DB9 female cable, you can connect products equipped with a DB9 DTE male console port to an IBM or compatible PC running a VT series emulation software package.

Connecting to the Network Connecting to the Network The following procedures cover the cable connections from the network or other devices to the switch RJ45 ports or any installed optional Mini‐GBIC. • Connecting UTP Cables on page 3‐22 • Connecting Fiber‐Optic Cables to LC Ports on page 3‐28 Connecting UTP Cables The RJ45 copper connection to an MGBIC‐02 is a 10/100/1000 Mbps connection with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation to one of these ports, use a straight‐ through cable. When connecting networking devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable. Note: The MGBIC-02 cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Where new cabling is being installed, it is recommended that Catagory 5e be installed.
Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly connected to the segment. 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 3‐16 for four‐wire RJ45 connections. Refer to Figure 3‐17 and Figure for eight‐wire RJ45 connections. d. Ensure that the twisted pair connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide. Refer to “Related Documents” on page xiv for information on obtaining this document. If a link is not established, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐5 for details. Repeat all steps above until all connections have been made. Â Á 3 Port 2 Link/Activity LED SecureStack C2 Installation Guide 3-23 Connecting to the Network 3‐15 and 3‐18 ...

(MGBIC‐MT01). Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable: • Transmit (TX) • Receive (RX) The transmit strand from a device 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 connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device. Enterasys Networks recommends labeling fiber‐optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are pre‐labeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable. To connect an MT‐RJ cable to a fixed MT‐RJ connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure and proceed as follows: Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the front panel MT‐RJ fiber‐optic port (port 2 in this example) 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.
Insert the MT‐RJ cable connector into the MT‐RJ connector until it clicks into place. Note: To remove the MT-RJ cable connector, press on its release tab and pull out the cable connector. Figure 3-19 Cable Connection to MT-RJ Multimode Fiber-Optic Connectors  1 Mini-GBIC MT-RJ port connector 2 MT-RJ cable connector Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device. Some cables may be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one for each fiber‐optic strand. In this case, ensure that the transmit fiber‐optic strand is connected ...
Connecting to the Network If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter a problem persists, refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐5 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support. Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made. Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to LC Ports Warning: Do not use optical instruments to view laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. Advertencia: No utilizar instrumentos opticos para ver el laser. El uso de instrumentos opticos para ver el laser incrementa el riesgo de perdida de la vision.
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. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean.
Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Link/Activity LED is on (blinking green or solid green). If the Link/Activity LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on: Verify that the device at the other end of the segment is ON and connected to the segment. b. If there are separate fiber‐optic connections on the other device, check the crossover of the cables. Swap the cable connections if necessary. Check that the fiber‐optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide for multimode mode cabling. To obtain this document, refer to “Related Documents” on page xiv. If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter details. If a problem persists, refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐5 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support. Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made.
