Hardware Installation Connect to Power The switch has two Power Supply Units (PSU). Each PSU has an AC power connector. Depending on your needs, you may opt to use one or both PSUs at a time. To connect the switch to a power source, do the following: Connect one end of the AC power cord to an AC power connector.
Hardware Installation To connect to the Base-T port, do the following: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Base-T port. Figure 3-7: Connect to Base-T Port Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network. The Base-T port LED (Link/Activity LED) lights green when the network link is established. NOTE: Ethernet cables are not included in the package.
Hardware Installation The 4 SFP+ ports support 10-gigabit IEEE 802.3ae Ethernet for fiber mediums. To install an SFP+ module, do the following: Slide the SFP+ module into an SFP+ port. Figure 3-9: Connect SFP+ Module Push completely until the module locks into place. Repeat the above procedures to install additional SFP+ modules. The SFP+ port LED lights green when the network link is established.
Hardware Installation Connect to Console Port The console port is used for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to a terminal or PC using the supplied console cable (RJ-45 male to RS-232 female cable) for serial communication.
Hardware Installation Connect to Management Port The switch has one management port. The management port is a dedicated port interface which is segregated from data traffic crossing other downlink or uplink ports. The port supports auto- negotiation. If the attached device also supports auto-negation, the transmission can operate in either half or full duplex, and data rate can be in 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps. Telnet, SNMP, and Web browser utility can all go through this port for local or remote management after the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are properly configured.
Chapter 4: Initial Configuration This chapter describes the following topics: • Initial Configuration Process • Configure the IP Address • Manage the Switch • Upgrade the Firmware • Manually Install Vendor OS...
Initial Configuration The following pages in this section are showing the IP address configuration and firmware upgrade SOP of Quanta runtime image. Initial Configuration Process When using the switch for the first time, configuration must be carried out through a console. Perform the following steps to configure the switch: Connect a terminal to the console port. Manually configure the IP Address by CLI. Manage the switch. Configure the IP Address You can configure the switch with a static IP address or use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to automatically obtain an IP address for the switch. For the first time configuration, it is recommended to set the IP address manually. 4.2.1 Set IP Address Manually To set the IP address of the switch manually, perform the following: Connect the switch to a computer with a terminal emulation program via the Console port.
Initial Configuration Set the service port IP address (in the example below, the service port IP address is set to 192.168.2.1). Configure Serviceport protocol none Serviceport ip 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 <gateway> exit Figure 4-2: Set Service Port IP Screen (Switch) (Switch) (Switch) (Switch) (Switch)
Initial Configuration Manage the Switch After the initial configuration, you may manage and monitor network activity by CLI or SNMP management, or by using the Web browser utility. 4.3.1 CLI Management The Command Line Interface (CLI) is administered when the terminal is directly connected to the Console port of the switch. This is an out-of-band connection, which means that it is on a different circuit than normal network communications, and thus works even when the network is down.
Initial Configuration Upgrade the Firmware The switch firmware is continuously being upgraded to meet more networking demands. It is recommended to upgrade the firmware to ensure that your switch has the latest firmware for optimum performance. NOTE: Before upgrading process, please make sure your currently version on the switch. For example, the switch running with version 5.4.x.x only supported upgrade to v5.4.x.x. Please use correct firmware to upgrading. 4.4.1 Initialization Stage Connect the TFTP server to the switch via the management port. Set the service port IP address using the following commands: Connect the console cable to the console port.
Initial Configuration Prepare the TFTP server and save the latest image file (*.stk) in its root directory (assuming that the IP address is 192.168.2.100). Figure 4-4: Example of TFTP Server Screen 4.4.2 Upgrade the Firmware Image File The switch supports two images, active and backup. Input the following command to download the image to backup image: copy tftp://<server ip addr>/<file name>...
Initial Configuration Manually Install Vendor OS With QUANTA ONIE code, it allows user to manually download an installer. You can use the Download Installer function which supports 3 types of different protocols (i.e. FTP, TFTP, and HTTP) to download the installer file from your local server. To download and update the vendor OS code manually, perform the following: Locate the specific QUANTA ONIE installer image that you want to download.
Initial Configuration Use the following command to set your switch box IP address: “ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1” Figure 4-9: Set Your Switch Box IP Address Screen • ifconfig eth0 : the command string • 192.168.2.1 : the switch IP address ifconfig” command to verify if the IP address setting is correct. Use the “...
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting This chapter tabulates the common problems and solutions that you may encounter when using the switch and provides customer service information.
Troubleshooting & Specifications Troubleshooting Below is a list of the common problems that you may encounter when using the switch. Try to solve these problems with the suggested solutions before calling for service. If problems persist, contact customer support. 5.1.1 Diagnostic Switch Indicator Table 5-1: Troubleshooting Tips...
Troubleshooting & Specifications 5.1.4 In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address.
Troubleshooting & Specifications Customer Support WARNING: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PSU or Hot-swappable Fan module. Do not disassemble any part of the PSU or Hot-swappable Fan module. Doing so voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. For maintenance services not mentioned in this guide, please contact the manufacturer’s customer support number as indicated on the warranty card.
