The 250W power supply provides power to operate the switch. Installing a second power supply can provide power to the switch in case the initial power supply fails.

  • Page 45: Configuring The Management Console

    To connect a console to the switch, use a console cable and connect a PC or VT-100 terminal to the Console serial port. The PC or terminal then functions as a management console connected directly to the switch. You can use the Console port only for out-of-band management; it cannot be used for a Telnet connection.

  • Page 46: Console Cable Pinouts

    You must use the out-of-band console connection to minimally configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask before you can use an in-band or out-of-band networked connection to manage the switch. Continue with Minimal Configuration through the Console Port Connection on page 59 for more information.

  • Page 47: Connect The Network Cables

    Connect the Network Cables Connect the network cables, described under “Cabling Infrastructure” (Prepare the Installation Site on page 33), from the network devices or your patch panels to the fixed RJ-45 ports on the switch or to any transceivers installed in the switch. Using the RJ-45 Connectors Figure 23 Connecting an RJ-45 To connect: Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack until the tab on the plug clicks into place.

  • Page 48: Stacking Information And Topologies

    Stacking Information and Topologies The 3810M switches support the FlexChassis Mesh feature for stacking the switches. When 3810M Stacking Modules (JL084A) are installed in the switches, any combination of up to ten 3810M switches can be stacked together via high-speed backplane cables to form a single extended virtual switch. The stacking topologies supported depend on the number of switches being stacked.
  • Page 49 Up to 10 switches may be stacked in an open-ended chain with single cables between each pair of switches. Chain topologies are not recommended because a single failure (switch, stacking module, or cable) will cause switch-to-switch communication failures between switches that are located on opposite sides of the failure. Unless the failure is the switch or stacking module at the very end of the chain, two stack fragments are formed as a result.

  • Page 50: Ring Topologies

    Label Description 2-switch chain 3-switch chain 5-switch chain Ring Topologies Up to 10 switches may also be connected in closed ring topologies. Ring topologies afford some protection from a single failure because communication between the switches continues, in a direction away from the failure.

  • Page 51: Mesh Topologies

    Figure 27 Cable Connection Examples for Ring Topologies Label Description 2-switch ring 3-switch ring 5-switch ring Mesh Topologies Two to five switches may be stacked using mesh topologies. In mesh topologies, every switch in the stack is connected to every other switch in the stack. Hence, with four stacking ports on the Stacking Module, the maximum number of switches that can be meshed together is limited to five.
  • Page 52 Figure 28 Meshed Topologies Label Description 2-switch mesh 3-switch mesh 4-switch mesh 5-switch mesh Cable connection examples for stacked redundant and meshed topologies are illustrated in the following figure. Aruba 4100i Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide...

    Figure 29 Cable Connection Examples for Redundant and Meshed Topologies Label Description 2-switch mesh 3-switch mesh 4-switch mesh 5-switch mesh Sample Network Topologies This section shows a few sample network topologies in which the switch is implemented. For more topology information, visit the product’s website at http://www.hpe.com/networking/support. The switch is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected, as shown in the following illustration.
  • Page 54 Figure 30 Example as a Desktop Switch Implementing PoE/PoE+ This illustration is an example of the switch being configured to supply PoE/PoE+ power to end devices such as IP telephones and wireless access points (WAPs). As shown in the figure above, the IP telephones can be connected in line, that is, between the switch and the end device, in this case a PC.
  • Page 55 Because the Switch has the “IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X” features, the connections between the switch and the hubs, and between the switch and end nodes or servers can be through category 5 straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable. Category 3 or 4 cable can also be used if the connection is 10 Mbps only. In all cases, the device ports must be configured to auto negotiate the link characteristics for this feature to work.
  • Page 56 Figure 33 Example of Connecting to a Backbone Switch For example, you can use an Aruba 5406R zl Switch to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other.
