    Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power allowance. Each slot is authorized by the system software to use up to default value of Watts, as noted in the specifications table, to power all devices connected to it depending on which power supply is used.

    For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 1, enter: -> lanpower capacitor-detection 1 disable Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature is not compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive detection enabled.

  • Page 94: Priority Disconnect Is Enabled; Same Priority Level On All Pd

    When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power. Lower- numbered receive higher priority than higher-numbered.
  • Page 95: Priority Disconnect Is Disabled

    Note. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device. When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).

    In addition to their working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can also be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, users can easily expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features.

    Note. You can also manage and monitor OmniSwitch 6400 Series stacks through WebView, Alcatel-Lucent’s embedded web-based device management application. WebView is an interactive and easy-to-use GUI that can be launched from OmniVista or a web browser. Please refer to WebView’s online documentation for more information.
  • Page 101: Omniswitch 6400 Series Stack Overview

    For example, a user can start with a stack composed of two switches and add up to six additional switches to that stack as network demands increase over time.
  • Page 102 Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks Important Note. For management module redundancy to work effectively, the software on all switches operating in the stack must be synchronized at all times. Refer to “Synchronizing Switches in a Stack” on page 6-35 for more information.

  • Page 104: Primary Management Module Selection

    By default, the primary management role will be given to the switch with the lowest chassis MAC address. However, for this to occur, all switches in the stack must be booted within 15 seconds of each other. In addition, switches in the stack must have no preconfigured slot information. Because of these two condi- tions, the MAC address method for selecting the primary module usually occurs with new “out of the box”...
  • Page 105 1, it is not a requirement. In other words, a stack of four switches can have slot assignments 3, 4, 5, and 6. However, it is important that each element in a stack is assigned a unique slot number.
  • Page 106 A user can override both the MAC address and saved slot methods for determining a stack’s primary management module. This is done by controlling the uptime of switches in the stack. If all elements of a stack are powered off, the user can force a particular switch to become primary by powering on that switch and waiting a minimum of 15 seconds before powering on any other switches.
  • Page 107: Secondary Management Module Selection

    Using the Stacking Connection to the Primary Switch By default, the switch that is connected to the primary switch’s stacking port A is automatically assigned the secondary management role. This applies to stacks on which there is no preassigned slot information—...
  • Page 108 For example, if a stack of four switches is booted and the preassigned slot values for each switch are 1, 2, 3, and 4, the switch with the slot value of 2 is assigned the secondary role.
  • Page 109: Idle Module Role

    Roles Within the Stack Idle Module Role Switches that are not assigned either the primary or secondary role in a stack are, by default, assigned the role of idle modules. These idle modules operate similarly to Network Interface (NI) modules in a chassis- based switch such as the OmniSwitch 9700/9800.
  • Page 110: Pass-Through Mode

    StackB In this example, note that both slots 2 and 3 have a saved slot value of 2. If this stack is rebooted, a dupli- cate slot error will occur and the switch with the lower MAC address will be given the secondary manage- ment role.

    Redundant stacking cables provide a form of dual redundancy. As shown in the figure above, the redun- dant cable allows traffic to flow in the event of a stacking link failure. The redundant cable also provides failover if a switch goes down within the stack. Traffic continues to flow between the modules that remain...

  • Page 117: Dynamic Slot Number Assignment

    Dynamic Slot Number Assignment Dynamic slot number assignment occurs when there are no boot.slot.cfg files present in the switches’ /flash directories. This is the case for new, “out of the box,” switches that have not been previously booted. When a brand new stack (or stack with no boot.slot.cfg files) is booted, the system software automati- cally detects the module with the lowest MAC address.
  • Page 118 Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks If the switch with the lowest MAC address happens to be the bottom-most module in the stack, slot numbering will not resume from the top of the stack. Instead, the system software will select the second- ary module using the standard method (i.e., the switch connected to the primary’s stacking port A), then...

  • Page 121: Hot-Swapping Modules In A Stack

    Note. If it is preferable to add a switch with an existing boot.slot.cfg file to a stack, be sure that the saved slot number of the incoming switch is not already assigned to a switch operating in the stack.
  • Page 122: Merging Stacks

    Merging stacks involves connecting two or more operational stacks and attempting to reboot them as a single virtual chassis. In most cases, errors will result. To merge stacks without causing errors, select one stack that is to remain up and running and then add modules from the other stack(s) by following the steps below: Make sure all switches are running the same software version.
  • Page 123: Reloading Switches

    Reloading Switches Reloading Switches Reloading is essentially a soft boot of a switch. Users can reload stacked modules operating in any role— i.e., primary, secondary, idle, and pass-through. Refer to the sections below for more information. Reloading the Primary Management Module If the switch with the primary management role is reloaded, the switch with the secondary role automati- cally takes over primary management functions.
  • Page 124 Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the secondary role when it comes back up. In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches, the slot 1 Primary - Slot 1 switch is the primary management module.
  • Page 125: Reloading The Secondary Management Module

    Reloading Switches Reloading the Secondary Management Module If the switch with secondary management role is reloaded, the idle switch with the lowest slot number will automatically assume the secondary role. The reloaded switch (the former secondary) will assume an idle role when it comes back up.

In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches, the slot 1 Primary - Slot 1 switch is the primary management module.
  • Page 127: Reloading Switches With Idle Roles

    After reloading a switch operating in an idle role, the switch resumes idle status when it comes back up, despite its saved slot number. In other words, if an idle switch with a saved slot number of 1 is reloaded, it resumes its previous idle role.
  • Page 128: Reloading All Switches In A Stack

    Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks Reloading All Switches in a Stack Reloading all switches in the stack is essentially a full reboot of the virtual chassis. This can be useful in restoring a stack’s previously configured topology—i.e., the stack’s saved slot numbers and management roles.
  • Page 129 Two or More Switches Have Duplicate Slot Information If a full stack reboot is issued and the same slot number is found in the boot.slot.cfg file of two or more switches, the switch with the lowest MAC address is allowed to come up and operate normally. Mean- while, any other switches with the duplicate slot number come up in pass-through mode.

  • Page 131: Changing The Secondary Module To Primary

    OmniSwitch 6400 Series stacks allow users to manually force the secondary switch to assume the primary management role. This is referred to as “takeover.” The behavior of a takeover is similar to that of reload- ing the primary management module (see page 6-25).
  • Page 132 Changing the Secondary Module to Primary Managing OmniSwitch 6400 Series Stacks If there are only two switches in the stack, the former primary switch resumes the secondary role when it comes back up following the takeover. In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches, the slot 1 Primary - Slot 1 switch is the primary management module.
  • Page 133: Synchronizing Switches In A Stack

    The synchronization process ensures that the contents of these directories match exactly for all switches across the stack. This can be especially useful after new software has been loaded to the primary manage- ment module. Further, synchronization prevents any switch from assuming a management role within the stack with incorrect or outdated software or configuration files.
