Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking This chapter includes information about the stacking features, such as stack capabilities, stacking functionality delivery, stack configuration, and Auto Unit Replacement.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Stacking functionality delivery The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 series switches allow you to stack multiple switches together to create a single virtual switch that can be managed as a single device. Stacking functionality is delivered in two distinctively different ways on Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 series switches: • Through stack enabled units with order codes AL2515xxx-E6.
Stacking functionality delivery 41 A Stacking License Certificate contains instructions on how to deposit license entitlements into a license bank, enter switch MAC address(es), create the license file, then download and copy the license file onto each switch requiring stacking functionality. These instructions are carried out on the Nortel Licensing portal web site at: www.nortellicensing.com.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking show license command The show license command displays the existing licenses on your switch. The syntax for the show license command is: show license { <1-10> | all } The show license command is executed in the Privileged EXEC command mode. Table 5 show license command parameters Parameters and variables Description <1-10> Displays the selected licenses. all Displays all licenses.
Stacking functionality delivery Step Action 1 From the Device Manager menu select Edit > File System. 43 The FileSystem dialog box appears. 2 Click the License File tab. The License File tab appears. 3 In the LoadServerAddr field, enter the TFTP server address. 4 In the LicenseFileName field, enter the software license filename on the TFTP server. ATTENTION The LicenseFileName field is case sensitive and you can use a maximum of 64 characters including the file extension.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Downloading the license files using the Web-based management interface You can download the license files to the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch. To download the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series license files, a properly configured Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server must be present in your network, and the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series must have an IP address.
Stack configuration 45 —End— Stack configuration The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 series provides the capability for intelligent fail-safe resilient stacking of up to eight units in a single switch stack. This provides uninterrupted connectivity of up to 400 user ports in a virtual switch managed as a single unit. ATTENTION All ERS 2500 series switches must be running software release 4.1 before being connected in a stack configuration.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Configuring the operational mode on rear ports using the CLI You can use the following commands to configure the operational mode of rear ports into Stacking or Standalone Mode: • "rear-ports mode command" (page 46) • "show rear-ports mode command" (page 46) rear-ports mode command The rear-ports mode command configures the operational mode of the rear-port.
Stack configuration 47 Figure 13 show rear-ports mode command output Configuring the operational mode of rear ports using the Device Manager Use the Device Manager to configure the operational mode of the rear ports into Standalone or Stacking Mode in the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Cascade Down port The Cascade Down port is used to connect this switch unit to the next unit in the stack through a stack cable. A connection from this port must be attached to the Cascade Up port of the next switch in the stack. A return cable from the Cascade Down port of the last unit must be connected to the Cascade Up port of the first unit to complete the stack connection.
Stack configuration 49 1. Base Unit 2. Cascade Cable 3. Cascade Cable (used for return) Initial stack installation During the initial installation of the stack, the software automatically determines the physical order of all units in the stack according to the position of the base unit within the stack. Thereafter, the individual units maintain their original unit numbering, even if the position of one or more units in the stack is changed.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking ATTENTION Many network management software packages assume a cascade down (stack down) configuration, Nortel recommends the usage of this configuration. Cascade down stack configuration In a cascade up (stack up) configuration, the base unit is physically located as the top unit in the stack. The cable connected to the Cascade Down connector of the base unit terminates in the Cascade Up connector physically located at the bottom of the stack.
Stack configuration 51 Cascade up stack configuration Regardless of stack configuration, the following applies: • When power is applied to the stack the base unit initializes, typically within 60 seconds, and the entire stack powers up as a single logical unit. • A RS-232 communications cable can be attached to the console port of any switch in the stack to establish a console connection.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking This automatic failover is only a temporary safeguard. If the stack configuration loses power, the temporary base unit cannot power up as the base unit when power is restored. Also, if the original unit rejoins the stack, it cannot resume base unit status. For this reason, always assign the temporary base unit as the base unit until the failed unit is repaired or replaced.
Stack configuration 53 Redundant cascade stacking Removing a stack unit If a unit is removed from the stack, the following switch configuration settings revert to those configured before the unit became a member of the stack: • IP address • Console, Web, Telnet, and SNMP passwords • SNMP community strings Adding/Replacing a stack unit To replace a failed stack unit or insert a new unit into a stack, follow this procedure: Step Action 1 Upload a copy of the stack configuration file to a TFTP serv
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Ensure that the new switch is set to factory default values. Then, if the unit is a standalone ERS 2500 switch, ensure that a valid stacking license.dat file is installed on the switch and the rear ports are operating in Stacking Mode. If the unit is a Stack Enabled ERS 2500 switch, then the unit is ready for adding or replacing. For information on installing a stacking license, see "Standalone configuration with license files" (page 40).
Auto Unit Replacement 55 ATTENTION AUR is intended for a stack configuration of two or more units. In a two-unit stack configuration, if a unit fails, the remaining unit becomes a standalone switch. AUR loads the configuration of the failed unit in the replacement of ERS 2500 Series unit if the failed unit was a non-Base Unit. AUR is not designed for the situation of removing and reinserting the same switch (with the same MAC address).
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking CFG mirror image process The CFG mirror image process is triggered by specific events. Power Cycle mirrored. After a power cycle, all the CFG images in a stack are Figure 15 "CFG mirror process in stack" (page 56) illustrates the CFG mirror images in a three-unit stack after the stack is powered on. Unit 1 is the Based Unit (BU) and all other units are Non-Based Units (NBU). • Unit 1 (BU) contains mirror images for unit 2 (CFG 2) and unit 3 (CFG 3).
Auto Unit Replacement 57 Adding a unit In a stack that does not have any INACTIVE CFG mirror images, adding a new unit causes the CFG image of the new unit to be mirrored in the stack. For example, in Figure 16 "CFG mirror images in the stack after adding unit 4" (page 57), after adding unit 4 to the stack, the CFG 4 mirror image is created in the BU (unit 1).
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking Figure 17 CFG mirror images after removing unit 4 Removing a BU When a BU is removed, the TEMP-BU assumes the role of the BU. Because all the CFG mirror images of the NBUs reside in the removed BU, the TEMP-BU mirrors all the CFG image of the NBUs in the stack.
Auto Unit Replacement 59 Figure 18 CFG mirror images in the stack after removing the BU (unit 1) As shown in Figure 18 "CFG mirror images in the stack after removing the BU (unit 1)" (page 59): • Unit 2 becomes the TEMP-BU. • The CFG 1 mirror image (residing in unit 2) becomes INACTIVE. • A second copy of the INACTIVE CFG 1 mirror image is created in unit 3. • The TEMP-BU (unit 2) contains all CFG mirror images of the stack’s NBUs. • The CFG 2 mirror image is created in unit 3.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking ATTENTION Restore a CFG image to a new unit happens only if the following conditions are met. • The AUR feature is enabled. • There is at least one INACTIVE CFG mirror image in the stack. • The MAC Address of the new unit is different from all the AMA of the INACTIVE CFG mirror images in the stack.
Auto Unit Replacement 61 Figure 19 CFG mirror images in the stack after adding unit 5 Synchronizing the CFG mirror images with CFG images A CFG mirror image is updated whenever a CFG flash synchronization occurs in the AU. Configuring AUR using the CLI This section describes the CLI commands used in AUR configuration. show stack auto-unit-replacement command The show stack auto-unit-replacement command displays the current AUR settings.
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking There are no parameters or variables for the show stack auto-unit replacement command. stack auto-unit-replacement enable command The stack auto-unit-replacement enable command enables AUR on the switch. The syntax for this command is: stack auto-unit-replacement enable The stack auto-unit-replacement enable command is executed in the Global Configuration mode. There are no parameters or variables for the stack auto-unitreplacement enable command.
Auto Unit Replacement 63 Configuring AUR using Device Manager You also can enable or disable AUR using Device Manager by toggling the AutoUnitReplacementEnabled field in the System tab (see "System tab" (page 259)). Displaying unit stack uptime You can display the uptime for each unit in a stack. Unit stack uptime collects the stack uptime for each unit in a stack and reports this information when requested. You can determine how long each unit is connected to the stack.

System configuration software features This chapter describes the software features used for system configuration on the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series.
System configuration software features GUI lets you configure, monitor, and maintain your network through Web browsers. You can also download software using the Web. For information about web-based management, see "Using the Web-based management interface" (page 145). • Any generic SNMP-based network management software. You can use any generic SNMP-based network management software to configure and manage an Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series.
Switch management features 67 You can also set the CLI password using the cli password command, or the Password Setting web-based management page. When you log on to the switch, you are prompted to enter a valid user name. Therefore, ensure you are aware of the valid usernames (default RW and RO) before you change passwords. For the standard software image, the default password for user RO is "user" and for user RW is "secure".
System configuration software features For information about the security features on the switch, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Security — Configuration and Management (NN47215-505). Autosave feature By default, every 60 seconds the Ethernet Routing Switch checks whether a configuration change has occurred, or if a log message is written to nonvolatile storage.
Switch management features 69 The SNTP supports primary and secondary NTP servers. The system tries the secondary NTP server only if the primary NTP server is unresponsive. Configuring with CLI To use the CLI to configure the SNTP feature, use the following procedure: Step Action 1 Set the primary and secondary NTP server. 2 Enable the SNTP. 3 Display the UTC time. 4 Optionally, to ensure the synchronization happens immediately, force a synchronization.
System configuration software features The host names for ping and Telnet cannot be longer than 63 alphanumeric characters, and the default DNS domain name cannot be longer than 255 characters. Configuring with CLI You can use the CLI to configure the DNS client. Following are the commands used to configure the DNS client using the CLI.
Switch management features • 71 BootP or Last Address ATTENTION Whenever the switch is broadcasting BootP requests, the BootP process eventually times out if a reply is not received. When the process times out, the BootP request mode automatically changes to BootP Disabled mode.
System configuration software features If an IP address is not currently in use, these actions take effect immediately. If an IP address is currently in use, these actions take effect only after the switch is reset or power cycled. BootP Disabled This option lets you manage the switch by using the IP address set from the console terminal.
Switch management features 73 Configuration File Download/Upload The Configuration Management feature lets you store and retrieve the configuration parameters of an Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series to a TFTP server.
System configuration software features ASCII configuration file You can also store the configuration parameters of a switch/stack as an ASCII configuration file and retrieve the stored file to automatically configure a replacement switch/stack. Autotopology You can enable the Optivity* Autotopology* protocol on the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series using the CLI. For more information about Autotopology, go to the Nortel support site: www.nortel.
Switch management features 75 Figure 22 How LLDP works 1. The Ethernet Routing Switch and router advertise chassis or port IDs and system descriptions to each other. 2. The devices store the information about each other in local MIB databases, accessible using SNMP. 3. A network management system retrieves the data stored by each device and builds a network topology map. LLDP operational modes LLDP is a one-way protocol.
System configuration software features • port ID TLV • Time to Live TLV • End Of LLDPDU TLV The chassis ID and the port ID values are concatenated to form a logical MSAP identifier that is used by the recipient to identify the sending LLDP agent and port. A non-zero value in the Time to Live (TTL) field of the TTL TLV indicates to the receiving LLDP agent how long the LLDPDU information from the MSAP identifier remains valid.
Ethernet port management features 77 LLDPDU and TLV error handling LLDPDUs and TLVs that contain detectable errors are discarded. TLVs that are not recognized, but that also contain no basic format errors, are assumed to be validated and are stored for possible later retrieval by network management. Configuring LLDP using the CLI For information about configuring LLDP using the CLI, see "Configuring LLDP using the CLI" (page 77).
System configuration software features When autonegotiating, the switch selects the highest common operating mode supported between the switch and its link partner. In certain situations, it is useful to autonegotiate a specific speed and duplex value. In these situations, the switch can allow for attachment at an operating mode other than its highest supported value.
Other features 79 Asymmetric mode This mode lets the link partner send flow control pause frames to the GBIC port. When a pause frame is received, the receiving port suspends transmission of frames for a number of slot times specified in the control frame or until a pause-release control frame is received. In this mode, the GBIC port is disabled from transmitting pause frames to its link partner. Use this mode when the GBIC port is connected to a buffered repeater device.
System configuration software features • RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) • RFC 1573 (Interface MIB) • RFC 1643 (Ethernet MIB) • RFC 1757 (RMON) • RFC 1271 (RMON) • RFC 1157 (SNMP) Standards The following IEEE Standards also contain information germane to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series: • IEEE 802.1D (Standard for Spanning Tree Protocol) • IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) • IEEE 802.
CLI Basics You can manage the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series with the following management tools: • Device Manager (GUI) • Web-based management system • Command Line Interface (CLI) The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Command Line Interface (CLI) is a management tool that provides methods for configuring, managing, and monitoring the operational functions of the switch.
CLI Basics CLI command modes Most CLI commands are available only under a certain command mode. The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series has the following four command modes: • User EXEC • Privileged EXEC • Global Configuration • Interface Configuration The User EXEC mode is the default mode; it is also referred to as exec. This command mode is the initial mode of access on powering-up the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series.
CLI command modes 83 Figure 23 CLI command mode hierarchy You can see a specific value for each command mode at the prompt line, and you can use specific commands to enter or exit each command mode (Table 9 "Command mode prompts and entrance/exit commands" (page 83)). Additionally, you can only enter command modes from specific modes and only exit to specific command modes.

Port numbering • 85 If you have logged into the CLI with read-write access, you enter the CLI in privExec mode and use the commands to move to the other command modes. Port numbering The port numbering for different versions of Ethernet switches are listed as follows: • Ethernet Routing Switch 2526 has 24 10/100 Mb/s ports on the front, as well as two combo ports, which includes two GBIC or two copper ports at 10/100/1000Mbps. The switch also provides two 1000 Mb/s ports on the rear panel.
CLI Basics You can also use the unit/port convention with a standalone Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series as long as the unit number is 1. Accessing CLI You access the CLI using Telnet or through a direct connection to the switch from a terminal or personal computer (PC). You can use any terminal or PC with a terminal emulator as the CLI command station.
Basic navigation 87 The > sign at the end of the name of the switch indicates that the default CLI mode is User EXEC mode. See "CLI command modes" (page 82), to select the command mode you want to use (and are authorized to use). —End— Setting the system username and password You can set usernames and passwords for system access through the CLI, Telnet, and web-based management. For the standard software image, the default password for user RO is "user" and for user RW is "secure".
CLI Basics • "end command" (page 92) • "exit command" (page 92) • "reload command" (page 93) • "shutdown command" (page 94) General navigation commands When you enter "?" at any point in the CLI session, the system retrieves help information for whatever portion of the command you entered thus far. See "help command" (page 89) for more information. The system records the last command in a CLI session. However, the last command is not saved across reboots.

CLI Basics Figure 24 help command output no command The no command is always used as a prefix to a configuration command, and it negates the action performed by that command. The effect of the no command is to remove or to clear the configuration controlled by the specified command. Various no commands are in the config and config-if command modes. See Appendix "Command List" (page 353) for an alphabetical listing of all no commands.
Basic navigation 91 logout The logout command is in all command modes. The logout command has no parameters or variables. enable command The enable command changes the command mode from User EXEC to Privileged Exec mode. The syntax for the enable command is: enable The enable command is executed in the User Exec command mode. The enable command has no parameters or variables.
CLI Basics The interface command is executed in the Global Configuration command mode. Table 12 "interface command parameters and variables" (page 92) describes the parameters and variables for the interface command. Table 12 interface command parameters and variables Parameters and variables Description Specifies the portlist you want to be affected by all the commands issued in the config-if command mode.
Basic navigation 93 exit The exit command has no parameters or variables. reload command The reload command provides you with a configuration rollback mechanism to prevent loss of connectivity to a switch, typically for remote configurations. The reload command lets you temporarily disable the autosave feature for a specified time period (1 to 60 minutes), allowing you to make a number of configuration changes on remote switches without affecting the current saved configuration.
CLI Basics If you make an error when performing configurations in Step 2 that results in the loss of switch connectivity (for example, an error in the IP address mask, MLT configuration, or VLAN trunking), the reload command provides you with a safeguard: when the reload timer expires, the switch reboots to the last saved configuration, and connectivity is re-established. Therefore, you do not have to travel to the remote site to reconfigure the switch.
Basic navigation 95 When the shutdown command is initiated in the CLI, the following message appears: Shutdown (y/n) ? Enter y at this prompt to shut down the switch. The following warning message then appears: Warning the switch/stack has been set to reboot in minutes. Current configuration has been saved, no further configuration changes can be saved until reboot occurs or ’shutdown cancel’ command is issued.
CLI Basics Parameters and variables Description force Instructs the switch to skip the shutdown confirmation prompt. minutes-to-wait <1-80> Specifies the number of minutes that pass before the switch resets itself. The default wait time is set at 10 minutes. ATTENTION Any configurations or login performed on the switch after the shutdown command is initiated are not saved to NVRAM and are lost after the reset. The shutdown command is executed in the Privileged EXEC command mode.
Managing basic system information 97 Figure 25 show sys-info command output To change the system contact, name, or location, see the snmp-server command (see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Security — Configuration and Management (NN47215-505)). show tech command The show tech command displays detailed system information. The syntax for the show tech command is: show tech The show tech command is executed in the Privileged EXEC command mode.
CLI Basics Managing MAC address forwarding database table This section describes the commands to view the contents of the MAC address forwarding database table, as well as setting the age-out time for the addresses.
Managing MAC address forwarding database table 99 Figure 27 "show mac-address-table command output" (page 99) displays sample output from the show mac-address-table command. Figure 27 show mac-address-table command output mac-address-table aging-time command The mac-address-table aging-time command sets the time that the switch retains unseen MAC addresses.

Diagnosing and correcting problems 339 Table 153 Corrective actions Symptom Probable cause Corrective action All LEDs are off. The switch is not receiving AC power. Verify that the AC power cord is fastened securely at both ends and that power is available at the AC power outlet. The fans are not operating or the airflow is blocked, causing the unit to overheat. Verify that there is sufficient space for adequate airflow on both sides of the switch.
Troubleshooting The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series negotiates port speeds according to the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard. The switch adjusts (autonegotiates) its port speed and duplex mode to match the best service provided by the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode as follows: • If the connected station uses a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible with the IEEE 802.
