Overview PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support Connectivity Management Standards Compatibility LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs Overview The C3G124‐24P and C3G124‐48P are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network requirements. These switches provide a management platform and an uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight C3 switches. You can also use a redundant DC power supply with these switches 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. C3G124-24P Stackable Switch The C3G124‐24P (Figure 1‐1) has several types of front panel port connections, which include: • Twenty‐four RJ45 ports (10/100/1000 Mbps, 1000BASE‐T copper ports) that also support PoE for connections to IEEE 802.3af compliant PDs (powered devices). SecureStack C3 Installation Guide 1-1...
Note: The Mini-GBIC ports cannot be active simultaneously with their corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. For example, if SFP port 24 establishes a link first on the C3G124-24P, the 10/100/1000BASE-T built-in RJ45 port 24 is not available and vice-versa. • Rear panel connectors for high‐speed connections in a stack configuration.
Rear panel Redundant Power Supply connector used to connect to a PoE Redundant Power Supply (C2RPS‐POE). The switch connects to the C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE cable. Caution: The C3G124-24P and C3G124-48P are PoE-compliant devices. Do not connect a SecureStack Redundant Power System (C2RPS-SYS) to the power connector. Otherwise, damage to the device may result.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support The switch is 802.3af compliant, which means it can provide power over Ethernet cable connections from its 48, RJ45 front panel connectors to PDs in the network. Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide 48 Vdc power to a powered device using the same Ethernet cabling that provides data. Modern Ethernet implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This requires 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 switch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. It supports the standard resistor‐based detection method, as well as AC disconnect capability. The switch is also capable of supplying 7.5 watts of power to all ports simultaneously. Support is also provided for the 802.3af‐defined maximum of 15.4 watts. Each PD (Powered Device) has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the switch for power management purposes. Table 1‐1 on page 1‐5 lists the classifications and the associated power ranges. Table 1-1 Powered Device Classifications PD Maximum Power Range Class Usage Usage...
Connectivity Connectivity The switch connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through the fixed front panel RJ45 connectors and four uplink ports that support optional Mini‐GBICs. At the time of this printing, the Mini‐GBICs supported and available from Enterasys are described in Table 1‐2 below. These Mini‐GBICs meet or exceed the IEEE 802.3z‐1998 standard. Table 1-2 Description of Mini-GBICs Mini-GBIC Specification MGBIC-LC01 Provides one 1000BASE-SX compliant LC fiber-optic multimode port and a standard LC connector. For optical and operating range specifications, refer to “MGBIC-LC01/MGBIC-MT01 Specifications (1000BASE-SX)” on page A-4.
Management Management Management of the switch can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote ® management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks’ NetSight management application, or the WebView application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. Switch Configuration Using WebView Enterasys Networks’ HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks. Switch Configuration Using CLI Commands The CLI commands enable you to perform more complete switch configuration management tasks. For CLI command set information and how to configure the module, refer to the SecureStack C3 Configuration Guide.

Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface Guidelines for Flat Surface Installation Locate the switch within 152 cm (5 ft) of its power source and on a surface as shown in Figure 3‐4. If an optional redundant power system is going to be installed and connected to the 14‐pin Redundant Power Supply input connector on the rear of the switch, refer to the installation guide shipped with the redundant power system. Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the switch. Do not connect the switch to the primary power source until instructed to do so later in the installation process.
Rack Mounting the Switch Rack Mounting the Switch To install the switch in a 19‐inch rack, you need: • Two rackmount brackets and mounting screws shipped with the switch. • Four user‐supplied screws to attach the switch to a standard 19‐inch rack. Guidelines for Rackmount Installation The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below: • Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 152 cm (5 ft) of the location. • A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour. Note: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the switch. Warning: Before installing the chassis into a rack, ensure that the rack can support the device(s) without compromising the stability of the rack.

Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables The stack of switches can be connected in a ring or daisy chain topology. In a ring topology all the switches are connected. The only difference in the cable connections in a daisy chain topology is that one cable is not installed. Up to 8 switches can be stacked together using high‐speed stacking cables. You can add switches and reach up to a maximum of 384 Ethernet ports per stack. The high‐speed stacking cables allow the entire stack to operate with a single IP address. The high‐speed stacking cables are optional items and must be ordered separately. The C3G124‐24P and C3G124‐48P 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. 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 (1) connections are from the STACK DOWN connector (2) of one switch to the STACK UP (3) connector of the next switch up in the stack. A high‐speed stacking cable connection from the STACK DOWN (4) connector of the switch at the top of the stack to the STACK UP (5) connector at the bottom of the stack completes the ring connection. In a daisy chain topology, the last cable connection is not made. SecureStack C3 Installation Guide 3-11...

Configuring Switches in a Stack 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 3‐11, 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 device: Previously assigned/elected management switch b.
Configuring Switches in a Stack Recommended Procedures to Install New and Existing Stacks Important 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.
Connecting AC and PoE Power Use one of the following methods to complete the stack cable connections: – If the running stack uses a daisy chain topology, make the stack cable connections from the bottom of the stack to the new switch (that is, STACK DOWN port from the bottom switch of the running stack to the STACK UP port on the new switch). – If the running stack uses a ring stack topology, break the ring and make the stack cable connections to the new switch to close the ring. Apply power to the new switch. Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack When using the clear config command (as described in the SecureStack C3 Configuration Guide) to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following: •...

Connecting AC and PoE Power PoE Redundant Power System If you are connecting an optional PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐POE), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the SecureStack C2RPS‐POE. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE cable. Caution: The C2RPS-POE power supply does not support non-PoE compliant SecureStack switches. Do not try to connect the power cable from this C2RPS-POE power supply to any SecureStack switch that does not have a “P” suffix in the model name (for example, C3G124-24).
Connecting to Console Port for Local Management Connecting to Console Port for Local Management This section describes how to install an RS232 DTE interface cable to a PC, a VT series terminal, or a modem to a C3G124‐24P or C3G124‐48P for out‐of‐band sessions using CLI commands. 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.
