Standards Compatibility The Secure Networks Policy Architecture consists of 3 components: Classification Rules, Network Services, and Behavioral Profiles. These are defined as follows: • Classification Rules determine how specific traffic flows (identified by Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 information in the data packet) are treated by each Switch or Router. In general, Classification Rules are applied to the networking infrastructure at the network edge/ingress point. • Network Services are logical groups of Classification Rules that identify specific networked applications or services. Users may be permitted or denied access to these services based on their role within the organization. Priority and bandwidth rate limiting may also be controlled using Network Services. • Behavioral Profiles (or roles) are used to assign Network Services to groups of users who share common needs–for example Executive Managers, Human Resources Personnel, or Guest Users. Access, resources, and security restrictions are applied as appropriate to each Behavioral Profile. A variety of authentication methods including 802.1X, EAP‐TLS, EAP‐TTLS, and PEAP may be used to classify and authorize each individual user; and the IT Administrator may also define a Behavioral Profile to apply in the absence of an authentication framework. Standards Compatibility The DFE module is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.3af‐2003, 802.1D‐1998, and 802.1Q‐1998 standards. The DFE‐Gold module provides IEEE 802.1D‐1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs 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. 1-6 Introduction...
10BASE-T Network 100BASE-TX Network The network installation must meet the requirements to ensure satisfactory performance of this equipment. Failure to do so will produce poor network performance. Note: The Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Guide and the Cabling Guide referred to in the following sections can be found on the Enterasys Networks World Wide Web site: http://www.enterasys.com/ Refer to Link Aggregation Link Aggregation is a method of grouping multiple physical ports on a network device ...
10BASE-T Network In normal usage (and typical implementations) there is no need to enable/disable ports for Link Aggregation. The default values will result in the maximum number of aggregations possible. If the switch is placed in a configuration with its peers not running the protocol, no aggregations will be formed and the DFE modules will function normally (that is, Spanning Tree will block redundant paths). For details about the commands involved with configuring the Link Aggregation function, refer to the Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the RJ45 fixed front‐panel ports of the 4H4285‐49, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T and 802.3af‐2003 standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing applications over Ethernet cabling. For more information about PoE, refer to Appendix Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 or Category 5 cabling can be used.

Installing an network expansion module involves • removing the safety cover, • removing the coverplate from the 4H4285‐49, • attaching the NEM, and • replacing the safety cover. Specific installation instructions are shipped with each NEM. DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules The DFE module can be installed in a Matrix...
DFE Module Placement and Installation Rules Figure 3-1 To ensure proper operation of the system, consider the following examples and rules for module placement in either chassis. Example 1 (Figure Shows one module installed in the chassis. If the chassis is populated with only one 4xxxxx, it must be installed in slot 1. Rule: If only one 4xxxxx is installed in the chassis, it must be in slot 1. Always install a 4xxxxx in slot 1 of the chassis. Example 2 (Figure Shows the chassis fully populated with 4xxxxx modules. By default, the chassis system can continue to operate after losing operation of all modules except the module in slot 1. (The loss of operation can be due to module reset, removal, or failure.) However, with the redundancy key installed, the system will remain operational provided that there is an operating module in slot 1 or 2. Caution: When installing a module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis, it is strongly recommended that the module have the desired version of firmware.
Page 33
The chassis system can be configured for two‐module management redundancy using cli command: set license redundancy <license key> For information on how to use this command, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide. To access this guide on the web, refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi. Rule: By default, the operation of all modules, except for the one in slot 1, can be lost without loosing system operation. With the redundancy key installed, the system will remain in operation provided the module in slot 1 or 2 is operational. Example 3 (Figure 3-1, C) Shows the module missing from slot 1. As long as the redundancy key has been programmed into the system and the module in slot 2 is operational, the system will continue to operate. Caution: When installing a module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis, it is strongly recommended that the module have the desired version of firmware. Installation of a replacement module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis requires reconfiguration of the system settings.

Connecting 48 Vdc Power for PoE Operation Connecting 48 Vdc Power for PoE Operation The Matrix N5 (7C105‐P) chassis provides 48 Vdc to connected PDs (powered devices) by way of its backplane connection to a PoE‐compliant DFE module such as the 4H4285‐49. Note: When you install the 4H4285-49 in a Matrix N5 chassis Optional Power Input does not support a connection from an external N-POE Power System.
Connecting to the Network This section provides the procedures for connecting unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from the network or other devices to the 4H4285‐49 (“Connecting UTP Cables to 4H4285‐49” on page 3‐13). Note: If the DFE module is being installed in a network using Link Aggregation, there are rules concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for Link Aggregation to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Guide for the configuration information.
Connecting to the Network To connect and verify UTP cable connections to RJ45 ports 1 through 48, refer to Figure and proceed as follows: Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON. Insert the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the appropriate RJ45 port connector. Figure 3-4 1 RJ45 cable connector Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on: Note: If the RX and TX LEDs of a port do not indicate a link and the end-point device is a PD, you may have a port without 48 Vdc to operate the PD. To check the PoE Port Status, refer to To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the ...
Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. If the port is to operate at 100 Mbps, category 5 cabling must be used. d. 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 3‐6 for four‐wire RJ45 connections. Refer to Figure 3‐7 and Figure eight‐wire RJ45 connections.

This appendix provides an overview of Power over Ethernet Technology and how it is implemented in relation to the 4H4285‐49. Overview Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide operational power to a device connected to a data network using the same cabling that provides the data interface. Modern Ethernet implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This requires at a minimum of two twisted pairs for a single physical link. Both ends of the cable are isolated with transformers blocking any DC or common mode voltage on the signal pair. PoE exploits this fact by using two twisted pairs as the two conductors to supply a direct current. One pair carries the power supply current and the other pair provides a path for the return current. While several proprietary legacy implementations of PoE have been deployed by LAN equipment vendors, in 2003 the IEEE published the IEEE 802.3af‐2003 specification, which is part of the 802.3 suite of standards. The 4H4285‐49 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. It supports the standard resistor based detection method, as well as AC disconnect capability. The 4H4285‐49 is also capable of supplying the maximum specified current to all ports simultaneously. Each PD has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the DFE module for power management purposes. Table associated power ranges. Table C-1 Powered Device Classifications Class About PoE (Power over Ethernet) C‐1 on page C‐1 lists the classifications and the Usage Default Optional Optional Optional Not Allowed Matrix DFE-Gold Series PoE Module Hardware Installation Guide C-1 PD Maximum Power Range Usage 0.44 to 12.95 Watts...
Vdc power and return as well as the power supply status signals. The status signals indicate the presence and operating state of each power supply module in the N‐POE Power System. This 48 Vdc Optional Power Input interface is not fused as the N‐PoE Power System has a circuit breaker for each PoE switch module power feed. Warning: The DFE module is shipped with a cover over its 48 Vdc Optional Power Input connector. Do not remove this cover when the DFE module is installed in an N5 chassis. This cover is removed only when you connect a 48 Vdc power cable from the Enterasys N-POE Power System.
PoE Port Status LEDs The PoE port status of each 10/100 Mbps front‐panel port is indicated by the two‐color RX and TX LED display for each port. To observe the PoE port status indications, you must switch the DFE module management system from the default RX/ TX Status Mode to the PoE Port Status Mode using the DFE module front‐panel GROUP SELECT button. The switch operation and a description of how to use the LED indications are described in “Using LANVIEW” on page 4‐1. Table C‐2 provides a brief description of each port status RX/TX LED display.
