This chapter introduces the 2H258-17R SmartSwitch 2200 device and provides information about how to obtain additional support from Enterasys Networks. Depending on the firmware version used in the 2H258-17R, some features described in this document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the 2H258-17R to determine which features are supported.
Overview The 2H258-17R is used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations, or to provide a central switching point for multiple 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet segments. The optional HSIMs provide high speed uplinks to networking technologies such as Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network (WAN), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
History groups are enabled on all ports by default. Enterasys Networks RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm.
VLAN classification of the frames received. Multiple VLANs can be directed to the same destination port. The VLAN redirect function is only supported when the device is operating as an 802.1Q switch. 1.1.8...
GARP attributes such as VLAN and multicast group membership. For more details on how GVRP and GMRP handle frames under GARP, and how to configure the switch ports to take advantage of this operation, refer to the SmartSwitch Series 2E253, 2H252, 2H253, and 2H258 Local Management User’s Guide.
RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIB MIB), and RFC 1190 (Path MTU Discovery). A full suite of Enterasys Networks Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting. For information on how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Enterasys Networks.
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.

Figure 3-1 Tabletop or Shelf Installation 3.3.2 Rackmount Installation To install the 2H258-17R in a 19-inch rack, Enterasys Networks includes a strain-relief bracket for cable management and an accessory kit containing the rackmount brackets, and mounting screws to attach the rackmount brackets and strain-relief bracket.
Installation Rack mounting the 2H258-17R involves the following: • Attaching the strain-relief bracket • Rack mounting the 2H258-17R (attaching the mounting brackets and fastening the device to the rack) Attaching the Strain-Relief Bracket Attach the strain-relief bracket to the 2H258-17R as follows: 1.
Installing the Device Rack Mounting the 2H258-17R Proceed as follows to install the 2H258-17R into a 19-inch rack: 1. There are several mounting holes in the rackmount brackets and the bottom of the chassis so that each mounting bracket may be adjusted forward or backward to mount the device further into, or out of the rack, depending on the installation requirements.
Figure 3-4 Installing the Device in a Rack 3.3.3 Connecting Power NOTE: The two power supplies in the 2H258-17R have automatic voltage sensing that allows connection to power sources ranging from 100–125 Vac, 2.5 A or 200–240 Vac, 1.25 A, 50/60 Hz. To connect the 2H258-17R to the power sources, proceed as follows: 1.
PWR LED is amber, there is no power redundancy. Check the power cord connections and the power source. If there are no problems with the power cord connections or power source and the PWR LED is still amber, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK This section provides the procedures for connecting fiber optic segments from the network or other devices to the 2H258-17R.

2H258-17R connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Fast Ethernet device. Enterasys Networks recommends labeling fiber optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are prelabeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable.
Check that the fiber optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in Enterasys Networks Cabling Guide for multimode mode cabling. If a link is not established, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to 5. Repeat steps 1 through 3, above, until all connections have been made.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION After installing the 2H258-17R and any optional HSIM or VHSIM, and making the connections to the network, proceed as follows: 1. Secure the cables by running the cables along the strain-relief bracket and tying them to the strain-relief bracket using cable ties.
