Overview Overview The B2G124‐24, B2G124‐48, and B2H124‐48 are stackable Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switches, which can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight B2 switches. The four built‐in Small Form Pluggable (SFP) interface slots provide you with the option of installing Mini‐GBICs for 1000BASE‐SX/LX fiber‐optic connections and 1000BASE‐T copper connections. The switches also support the use of a redundant DC power supply to help prevent downtime due to an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source. You can install the switch on a flat surface or into a standard 19‐inch rack with user‐ supplied mounting hardware, and configure the switch functions using the WebView™ application, CLI switching commands, and/or SNMP. B2G124-24 and B2G124-48 The B2G124‐24 (Figure 1‐1) and B2G124‐48 (Figure rear panel port connections, which include: • RJ45 ports (10/100/1000 Mbps, 1000BASE‐T copper ports), 24 on the B2G124‐24 and 48 on the B2G124‐48 • SFP slots that provide you with the option of installing Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Mini‐GBICs for 1000BASE‐SX/LX fiber‐optic connections and 1000BASE‐T copper connections. • Rear panel connectors for high‐speed connections in a stack configuration • Rear panel Redundant Power Supply connector for a connection to a SecureStack C2RPS‐SYS power supply system using the appropriate cable (C2RPS‐PSM).

The high‐speed stacking cables are optional items and must be ordered separately. The B2G124‐48 and B2H124‐48 support three types of SecureStack stacking cables: • C2CAB‐SHORT cable to connect two adjacent switches in the stack. If the stack is in a configuration where the adjacent switches are too far apart for the SHORT cables, the LONG cable can be used for the connections. • C2CAB‐LONG cable to connect from the top switch to the bottom switch in the stack. You need only one C2CAB‐LONG cable per stack. • C2CAB‐5M cable to connect from the top switch to the bottom switch in the stack when these two switches are physically located in seperate mounting racks and require a longer cable reach. Note: The B2G124-24 supports only the C2CAB-SHORT and C2CAB-LONG stacking cables. Figure 3‐7 shows an example of a four‐high stack connected in a ring topology. All STACK DOWN and STACK UP connectors are used in the installation. The high‐speed stacking cable connections are from the STACK DOWN connector of one switch to the STACK UP connector of the next switch up in the stack. A high‐speed stacking cable connection from the STACK DOWN connector of the switch at the top of the stack to the STACK UP connector at the bottom of the stack completes the ring connection. In a daisy chain topology, one cable connection is not made. Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables SecureStack B2 Installation Guide...
High-speed stacking cable STACK DOWN connector STACK UP connector After connecting the cables to the stacking ports, proceed to “Configuring Switches in a Stack” on page 3‐12 for instructions. Configuring Switches in a Stack The information in the following sections is important to understand B2 switch operation and installations in a stack installation. About SecureStack B2 Switch Operation in a Stack The SecureStack B2 products are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight B2 switches. 3-12 Hardware Installation High-Speed Stacking Cable Connections à  Á...

Once installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network expands. You can also mix different products in the family in a single stack to provide a desired combination of port types and functions to match the requirements of individual applications. In all cases, a stack of switches performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in “Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables” on page 3‐10, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack. • The hierarchy of the switches that will assume the function of backup manager is also determined in case the current manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack. • The Console port on the manager switch remains active for out‐of‐band (local) switch management, but the Console port on each member switch is deactivated. This enables you to set the IP address and system password using a single Console port. Now each switch can be configured locally using only the manager’s Console port, or in‐band using a remote device and the CLI set of commands described in this section. For procedures used for various types of connections to the Console port, refer to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐18. Once a stack is created (more than one switch is interconnected), the following occurs: Switch (unit) IDs are arbitrarily assigned on a first‐come, first‐served basis. Switch IDs are saved against each module. Then, every time a board is power‐cycled, it will initialize with the same switch ID. This is important for port‐specific information (for example: ge.4.12 is the 12th Gigabit Ethernet port on switch number 4). The management election process uses the following precedence to assign a management switch: Previously assigned/elected management switch b. Management assigned priority (values 1–15) Hardware preference level d.
The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.
• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.
Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to details If the switch is a standalone switch, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack. 3-16 Hardware Installation Switch Rear View Á...
C2RPS-SYS Redundant Power System If you are installing an optional redundant power system (C2RPS‐SYS), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the SecureStack RPS. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐PSM using a C2RPS‐PSM Cable. Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, DO NOTconnect a Power over Ethernet-compliant Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the redundant power supply connector. The switch is only compatible with the SecureStack C2RPS-SYS redundant power supply system.
Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all high-speed stacking cables are connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active.

This section contains the procedures for connecting a 1000BASE‐SX multimode fiber‐optic segment from the network or other devices to an MT‐RJ port connector in a Mini‐GBIC (MGBIC‐MT01). Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable: • Transmit (TX) • Receive (RX) The transmit strand from a switch port connects to the receive port of a fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable MT‐RJ port connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet switch. Enterasys Networks recommends labeling fiber‐optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are pre‐labeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable. To connect an MT‐RJ cable to a fixed MT‐RJ connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure and proceed as follows: Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the front panel MT‐RJ fiber‐optic port (port 22 in this example) and from the connectors on each end of the cable. Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent contamination. 3-26 Hardware Installation 3‐18 ...
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean.
If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter a problem persists, refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐8 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support. Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made. Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to LC Ports Warning: Fiber-optic Mini-GBICs use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard.

To connect an LC cable connector to a fixed LC connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure 3‐19 and proceed as follows: Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean.
Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Link/Activity LED is on (blinking green or solid green). If the Link/Activity LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on: Verify that the device at the other end of the segment is ON and connected to the segment. b. If there are separate fiber‐optic connections on the other device, check the crossover of the cables. Swap the cable connections if necessary. Check that the fiber‐optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide for multimode mode cabling.
