Mounting the Switch OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Mounting the Switch Note. If you are relocating the switch, be sure to power it down and remove all network, stacking, and power cables before moving. Airflow Considerations Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, static-free environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the front, rear, and sides of the switch.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Mounting the Switch Chassis Airflow The fans pull air from the air intake vent located on the left-hand side of the chassis. The air is directed horizontally through the chassis and past the circuit board. Airflow is then exhausted through the fan vents at the right-hand side of the chassis. Refer to the illustrations below for more information. 1. Air Intake.
Mounting the Switch OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Blank Cover Panels Blank cover panels are provided with your switch and are used to cover empty backup power supply bays and 10 Gigabit uplink bays. These cover panels play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. They also protect the switch’s processor board and other sensitive internal switch components from physical damage by closing off the chassis.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Mounting the Switch Installation Options The OmniSwitches can be installed in two ways: • Tabletop installation • Rack-mount installation Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench OmniSwitches switches can be installed freestanding as tabletop units. Place your switch on a stable, flat, and static-free surface. Note. Switches must be placed “right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch positioned on its side.
Mounting the Switch OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Rack-Mounting the Switch Refer to the important guidelines below before installing the OmniSwitch chassis on a rack. • It is recommended that two people install the switch on the rack—one person to hold the chassis and position it on the rack, and a second person to secure the chassis to the rack using attachment screws (not supplied). • Alcatel-Lucent provides two rack-mount flanges with each OmniSwitch switch.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Mounting the Switch 3 After the rack-mount flanges are secured to the chassis, mark the holes on the rack where the switch is to be installed. 4 Lift and position the switch until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the rack post. 5 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that were marked in step 3. 6 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw (not provided) through the bottom hole of each flange.
Setting Up a Stacked Configuration OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Setting Up a Stacked Configuration Rack Mounting Stacked Configurations To rack mount a stacked configuration, install all switches that are to be included in the stacked configuration as described on pages 2-36 through 2-37. Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis. Note.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Setting Up a Stacked Configuration 3 Insert the other end of the stacking cable into the stacking port of the switch immediately below. Once again, the stacking port (A or B) depends on the preferred cabling pattern. 4 Repeat this procedure until all switches in the stack are connected (see illustrations a, b, and c below). Reminder. The diagram below shows one supported stacking cable pattern.
Setting Up a Stacked Configuration OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components 5 To provide added resiliency and redundancy, you must install the redundant stacking cable to connect the top switch in the stack to the bottom switch. Connect the redundant cable now.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches For information on booting stand-alone switches and switches in stacked configurations, refer to the sections below. Booting a Stand-Alone Switch The OmniSwitch switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/ disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the switch’s rear panel.
Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Booting Stacked Configurations Once the switches have been connected to a virtual chassis, the next step is to manually power on the stack. The OmniSwitch switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/ disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the switch’s rear panel. For more information, refer to “Rear Panel” on page 2-55.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Power Cords Power Cords Since the power cord is the switch’s only disconnect device, it should be plugged into an easily accessible outlet. In the event that your power cord is lost or damaged, refer to the specifications below. Specifications The power cord to be used with 115 Volt configuration is a minimum type SJT (SVT) 18/3, rated at 250 Volts AC, 10 Amps with a maximum length of 15 feet.
Console Port OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Console Port The console port, located on the chassis front panel, provides a console connection to the switch and is required when logging into the switch for the first time. By default, this RJ-45 connector provides a DTE console connection.

Dying Gasp OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Dying Gasp If the switch loses all power it will maintain power long enough to send a Dying Gasp message before completely shutting down. An SNMP trap, Syslog message and Link OAM PDUs will be generated. Scenarios A Dying Gasp event will be generated in the following scenarios: • Primary power supply failure (if only power supply present). • Primary power supply failure and then backup power supply failure.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Chassis and Hardware Components Dying Gasp Link OAM PDU As soon as the power failure is detected an 802.3ah OAM Information PDU is sent to all ports for which link OAM is enabled and the LinkOAM port status is operational. The PDU will have the Dying Gasp bit set. Use the efm-oam and efm-oam port propagate-events commands to enable the generation of an 802.

5 Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides inline power directly from the switch’s Ethernet. Powered Devices (PDs) such as IP phones, wireless LAN stations, Ethernet hubs, and other access points can be plugged directly into the Ethernet. From these RJ-45 the devices receive both electrical power and data flow.
In This Chapter Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) In This Chapter This chapter provides specifications and descriptions of hardware and software used to provide PoE for attached devices. The chapter also provides information on configuring PoE settings on the switch through the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power over Ethernet Specifications Power over Ethernet Specifications The table below lists general specifications for Alcatel-Lucent’s Power over Ethernet support. For more detailed power supply and Power Source Equipment (PSE) specifications, refer to Chapter 3, “OmniSwitch 6850E Series Power Supplies.” IEEE Standards supported IEEE 802.
Viewing PoE Power Supply Status Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Viewing PoE Power Supply Status To view the current status of power supplies installed in the backup power supply, use the show power command, as shown below: -> show power Slot PS Wattage Type Status Location ----+----+---------+------+-----------+---------1 1 ----1 2 360 AC UP External 1 3 ----2 1 510 AC UP External 2 2 ----2 3 ----3 1 360 AC UP External 3 2 ----3 3 ----- The backup power supply will always display as “PS-2”.
Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Power over Ethernet Defaults The following table lists the defaults for PoE configuration: Parameter Description Command(s) Default Value/Comments PoE operational status lanpower start or lanpower stop Disabled Total power available to a port lanpower power See Chapter 5, “Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Setting the PoE Operational Status Enabling PoE By default, Power over Ethernet is administratively enabled in the switch’s system software. However, in order to physically activate PoE, you must issue the lanpower start command on a slot-by-slot basis before any connected PDs will receive inline power. To activate power to PoE-capable in a switch, enter the corresponding slot number only.
Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Configuring the Total Power Available to a slot Like the maximum port power allowance, the system software also provides a maximum slot-wide power allowance. By default, each slot is authorized by the system software to use a number of watts to power all devices connected to its ports depending on which power supply is used.
Configuring Power over Ethernet Parameters Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) changes the priority value of port 22 of the OmniSwitch slot 8 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default value has been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical for network operations. Setting the Capacitor Detection Method By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled.
Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Priority Disconnect Understanding Priority Disconnect The priority disconnect function differs from the port priority function described on page 5-7 in that it applies only to the addition of powered devices (PDs) in tight power budget conditions. Priority disconnect is used by the system software in determining whether an incoming PD will be granted or denied power when there are too few watts remaining in the PoE power budget for an additional device.
Understanding Priority Disconnect Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Priority Disconnect is Enabled; Same Priority Level on All PD Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device. When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power.
Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) Understanding Priority Disconnect Priority Disconnect is Disabled Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to power an incoming device. When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).

6 Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks In addition to their working as individual stand-alone switches, an OmniSwitch can also be linked together to work as a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, users can easily expand their switching capacity simply by adding additional switches to the stack. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resiliency and redundancy features.
In This Chapter Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks In This Chapter This chapter provides information on switches configured to operate as a single virtual chassis. Topics described in the chapter include: • OmniSwitch 6850E Series stack mode page 6-3. • OmniSwitch 6850E Series stack overview on page 6-4. • Roles within the stack on page 6-4. • Stack cabling on page 6-17. • Slot numbering on page 6-20. • Hot-Swapping modules in a stack on page 6-25. • Reloading switches on page 6-27.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacking Specifications OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacking Specifications The following table lists OmniSwitch Stacking specifications.
OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stack Overview Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stack Overview Users can configure up to eight switches, in any combination of chassis types, into a single virtual chassis known as a stack. With stacks, switching capacity can be easily expanded simply by adding additional switches to the stack. For example, a user can start with a stack composed of two switches and add up to six additional switches to that stack as network demands increase over time.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack Important Note. For management module redundancy to work effectively, the software on all switches operating in the stack must be synchronized at all times. Refer to “Synchronizing Switches in a Stack” on page 6-37 for more information. Primary 1 A stack of four switches is operating normally. The stack consists of a primary module, secondary module, and two elements operating in idle status.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks 1 A stack of two switches is operating normally. The stack consists of a primary module and a secondary module. (The software on both elements in the stack is synchronized.) 2 The primary management module fails or is taken offline (e.g., powered off or rebooted by the user). 3 The switch operating as the secondary management module immediately takes over the primary role. It is at this point essentially operating as a stand-alone switch.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack Primary Management Module Selection For a stack of switches to operate as a virtual chassis, there must be a mechanism for dynamically selecting the switch within the stack that will assume the primary management role. OmniSwitches use three different methods for selecting the primary switch. These methods are: • Chassis MAC address • Saved slot number • Chassis uptime Note.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Using Saved Slot Information The saved slot number is the slot number the switch will assume following a reboot. This information is stored in a switch’s boot.slot.cfg file; the switch reads its slot number assignment from this file at bootup and assumes the specified slot number within the stack.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack Using Switch Uptime A user can override both the MAC address and saved slot methods for determining a stack’s primary management module. This is done by controlling the uptime of switches in the stack. If all elements of a stack are powered off, the user can force a particular switch to become primary by powering on that switch and waiting a minimum of 15 seconds before powering on any other switches.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Secondary Management Module Selection In order to provide effective management module redundancy, all stacked configurations dynamically assign a backup, or secondary, management module during the boot process. Stacks use two different methods for selecting the secondary switch.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack Using Saved Slot Information If a stack with preassigned slot information for each switch is booted, the switch with the second lowest slot value is assigned the secondary management role. For example, if a stack of four switches is booted and the preassigned slot values for each switch are 1, 2, 3, and 4, the switch with the slot value of 2 is assigned the secondary role.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Idle Module Role Switches that are not assigned either the primary or secondary role in a stack are, by default, assigned the role of idle modules. These idle modules operate similarly to Network Interface (NI) modules in a chassisbased switch. In the event of a management module failure within the stack, the idle module with the next lowest slot number in the stack will automatically assume the secondary management role.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack Pass-Through Mode The pass-through mode is a state in which a switch has attempted to join a stack but has been denied primary, secondary, and idle status. When a switch is in the pass-through mode, its Ethernet are brought down (i.e, they cannot pass traffic). Its stacking cable connections remain fully functional and can pass traffic through to other switches in the stack.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks To avoid a pass-through condition following a reboot, make sure that all saved slot values for the stack are unique. Use the stack set slot command.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Roles Within the Stack To resolve this pass-through condition, simply assign slot 1001 a new saved slot value and reboot the module.
Roles Within the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks In some pass-through conditions (for example, larger stacks where multiple switches are in pass-through mode), it might be desirable to correct any duplicate saved slot assignments and then reboot the entire stack. The recovery from pass-through can be accomplished with fewer steps than reassigning slot numbers and rebooting modules on a slot-by-slot basis.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Stack Cabling Stack Cabling Switches in a stack are connected to each other by stacking cables. The stacking cables come in various lenghts and types as as listed on page 6-3 and provide high-speed, dual-redundant links between switches in a stack. Stacking cables for can be connected in any pattern. In other words, the cable connected to stacking port A of one switch can be connected to either stacking port A or stacking port B of the adjacent switch.
Stack Cabling Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Redundant Stacking Cable Connection OmniSwitches allow redundant stacking cable connections between the top-most and bottom-most switches in a stack. Important. For a stacked configuration to have effective redundancy, a redundant stacking cable must be installed between the upper-most and bottom-most switch in the chassis at all times.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Stack Cabling Redundant stacking cables provide a form of dual redundancy. As shown in the figure above, the redundant cable allows traffic to flow in the event of a stacking link failure. The redundant cable also provides failover if a switch goes down within the stack.
Slot Numbering Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Slot Numbering For a stack of switches to operate as a virtual chassis, each module in the stack must be assigned a unique slot number. To view the current slot assignments for a stack, use the show ni or show module commands. The slot number is also displayed on the front panel of each switch by the LED located on the left side of the chassis (refer to “Status LEDs” on page 2-53 for more information).
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Slot Numbering Dynamic Slot Number Assignment Dynamic slot number assignment occurs when there are no boot.slot.cfg files present in the switches’ /flash directories. This is the case for new, “out of the box,” switches that have not been previously booted. When a brand new stack (or stack with no boot.slot.cfg files) is booted, the system software automatically detects the module with the lowest MAC address.
Slot Numbering Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks If the switch with the lowest MAC address happens to be the bottom-most module in the stack, slot numbering will not resume from the top of the stack. Instead, the system software will select the secondary module using the standard method (i.e., the switch connected to the primary’s stacking port A), then continue to number the stack from the bottom up. This intuitive slot assignment provides the cleanest and most manageable stack topology.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Slot Numbering Manual Slot Number Assignment To manually assign slot numbers to one or more modules in a stack, use the stack set slot command. This command writes slot information to the boot.slot.cfg file located in a switch’s /flash directory. It is this saved slot information that the switch will assume following a reboot.
Slot Numbering Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks When the stack comes up following the reboot, the manually-configured slot numbers display as follows: Slot 1 - Primary Slot 2 - Secondary Slot 3 - Idle Slot 4 - Idle Slot 5 - Idle Slot 6 - Idle Slot 7 - Idle Slot 8 - Idle The stack set slot command can also be used to manually correct duplicate saved slot assignments within the stack topology. Refer to pages 6-13 through 6-15 for detailed information.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack Modules within a virtual chassis are hot-swappable. NI modules are essentially those modules operating in the stack in idle mode. These modules can be removed from, or added to, an existing stack without disrupting other modules in the stack.
Hot-Swapping Modules In a Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Merging Stacks Merging stacks involves connecting two or more operational stacks and attempting to reboot them as a single virtual chassis. In most cases, errors will result. To merge stacks without causing errors, select one stack that is to remain up and running and then add modules from the other stack(s) by following the steps below: 1 Make sure all switches are running the same software version.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Reloading Switches Reloading Switches Reloading is essentially a soft boot of a switch. Users can reload stacked modules operating in any role— i.e., primary, secondary, idle, and pass-through. Refer to the sections below for more information. Reloading the Primary Management Module If the switch with the primary management role is reloaded, the switch with the secondary role automatically takes over primary management functions.
Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former primary) assumes the secondary role when it comes back up. 1 In this stack of two switches, the slot 1 switch is the primary man- Primary - Slot 1 agement module. The slot 2 switch is the secondary. Secondary - Slot 2 2 The user reloads the stack’s primary management module by issuing -> reload primary the reload primary command.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Reloading Switches Reloading the Secondary Management Module If the switch with secondary management role is reloaded, the idle switch with the lowest slot number will automatically assume the secondary role. The reloaded switch (the former secondary) will assume an idle role when it comes back up. Meanwhile, the switch with the primary management role, as well as any other idle modules in the stack, continue operations without interruption.
Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former secondary) resumes the secondary role when it comes back up. Primary - Slot 1 1 In this stack of two switches, the slot 1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2 switch is the secondary. Secondary - Slot 2 2 The user reloads the stack’s secondary management module by -> reload secondary issuing the reload secondary command.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Reloading Switches Reloading Switches with Idle Roles Similar to reloading Network Interface (NI) modules on chassis-based switches modules operating in idle status within a stack can be reloaded via the CLI. Note. Any traffic being passed on the module’s Ethernet will be interrupted during the reboot. Other modules within the stack will continue to operate without interruption. To reset a single module operating in idle mode, use the reload ni command.
Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Reloading All Switches in a Stack Reloading all switches in the stack is essentially a full reboot of the virtual chassis. This can be useful in restoring a stack’s previously configured topology—i.e., the stack’s saved slot numbers and management roles. Note, however, that all data flow on the stack is interrupted whenever a full reboot is issued. To reset all switches in a stack use the reload all command. For example: -> reload all Important.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Reloading Switches No Switches In the Stack Have Saved Slot Information If a full reload is issued and no switches in the stack have unique slot numbers, slot numbers will be assigned beginning with the switch with the lowest MAC address. (This can occur if the boot.slot.cfg file has been deleted from each switch’s /flash directory—e.g., by issuing the stack clear slot command for all modules in the stack.
Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Avoiding Split Stacks The term “splitting” a stack refers to the creation of isolated modules within the virtual chassis. A split stack can result from the following conditions: • Two or more non-adjacent switches are reloaded simultaneously • The stack is reloaded without a redundant stacking cable connection The sections below offer simple guidelines for avoiding splitting the stack during the reload process.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Changing the Secondary Module to Primary Changing the Secondary Module to Primary Stacks allow users to manually force the secondary switch to assume the primary management role. This is referred to as “takeover.” The behavior of a takeover is similar to that of reloading the primary management module (see page 6-27). Whenever a takeover is initiated, the switch with the secondary role automatically takes over primary management functions.
Changing the Secondary Module to Primary Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks If there are only two switches in the stack, the former primary switch resumes the secondary role when it comes back up following the takeover. Primary - Slot 1 1 In this stack of two switches, the slot 1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2 switch is the secondary. Secondary - Slot 2 2 A takeover is initiated by the user; the primary management -> takeover module is automatically reloaded.
Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Synchronizing Switches in a Stack Synchronizing Switches in a Stack Management module synchronization refers to the process of copying all files in the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories of the primary management module to the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories of all the other switches in the stack. The system and configuration software on the nonprimary switches—i.e.
Monitoring the Stack Managing OmniSwitch 6850E Series Stacks Monitoring the Stack As shown in the previous sections, monitoring the current status and operation of all elements in a stack can help users avoid unexpected stack conditions. The table below includes CLI commands that are useful in monitoring stack conditions. CLI Commands Used for Monitoring a Stack show stack topology Displays the current operating topology of switches within a stack.
