Chapter 2: SEHI Features and Options

2.1

SEHI OVERVIEW

The SEHI-22FL is an intelligent repeating hub providing front panel ports for network connections and a rear panel HubSTACK Interconnect Bus port for stackable connections. The SEHI is designed to manage the

Cabletron Systems SEH series of non-intelligent stackable hubs.

The SEHI-22FL provides twelve 10BASE-FL ST-type fiber optic ports and one EPIM (Ethernet Port Interface Module) port.

2.2

SEHI FEATURES

This section provides detailed information about SEHI features and capabilities.

Repeater Functionality

The SEHI fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL specifications, and provides the flexibility to connect networks using IEEE 802.3,

Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2 equipment. The SEHI transmits retimed data packets, regenerates the preamble, extends fragments, and arbitrates collisions.

The SEHI automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact on network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by isolating the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are affected.

When the problem is solved, the SEHI automatically reconnects the isolated segment to the network.

FLASH EEPROMs

The SEHI uses FLASH EEPROMs that allow the downloading of new and updated firmware using Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM Element

Manager/Windows or any device using BOOTP or TFTP protocols.

LANVIEW LEDs

Cabletron Systems LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics

System is a troubleshooting tool that helps in diagnosing power failures, collisions, cable faults, and link problems. The LANVIEW LEDs are conveniently located on the SEHI front panel.



Stackable Capabilities

RESET Button

Resetting the hub with the front panel RESET button reboots the SEHI and initializes the processor.

Local Management

Manage the SEHI and attached segments through Local Management on the SEHI. Local Management provides full packet and error statistics for the entire stack, individual device, or individual port. Access Local

Management by attaching a DEC VT320 terminal or a PC using VT320 emulation software to the SEHI RJ45 COM port.

2.3

STACKABLE CAPABILITIES

The SEHI intelligent hub is designed to manage the Cabletron Systems series of SEH non-intelligent hubs. The SEHI serves as the logical “top” of the stack. It manages all SEH hubs in the stack providing full packet and error statistics for the entire stack, individual device, or individual port.

Stack up to four SEH non-intelligent hubs with one SEHI using Cabletron

Systems external HubSTACK Interconnect cables. Stackable configurations make it possible to maintain only one IEEE repeater hop while providing up to 130 10BASE-T Ethernet ports. Add or remove hubs from the stack without powering down.

2.4

REMOTE NETWORK MANAGEMENT

CAPABILITIES

Manage the SEHI remotely with any SNMP network management system. Cabletron Systems offers the following remote management packages:

• Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM

• Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM Element Manager/Windows

• Cabletron Systems Remote SPECTRUM Portable Management

Applications

• Third Party SNMP compliant Network Management Packages

The network must meet the requirements and conditions specified in this chapter to obtain satisfactory performance from this equipment. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in poor network performance.

3.1

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

The SEHI-22FL network ports support 10BASE-FL Multimode Fiber

Optic cabling.

Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs) expand a network using

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Multimode

Fiber Optic, Single Mode Fiber Optic, or Thin Coaxial cabling. For

information concerning EPIMs, refer to Appendix A.

The rear panel Interconnect Bus port supports Cabletron Systems

HubSTACK Interconnect cables for stackable applications.

Take care in planning and preparing the network cabling and connections.

The quality of the connections and the length of cables are critical factors in determining the reliability of the network. The following sections provide the specifications for each media type.



Chapter 3: Installation Requirements and Specifications

3.1.1

HubSTACK Interconnect Cable Requirements

Attach the SEHI to modules in the stack with the SEHI HubSTACK

Interconnect cable available only from Cabletron Systems. Refer to

Chapter 1 for cable part numbers. The cable attaches to the SEHI rear panel bus port.

The rear panel of the SEHI has an Interconnect Bus Out port (male connector) to stack SEH non-intelligent hubs together. Stack up to four

SEH hubs together with one SEHI.

3.1.2

Maximum Cable Length

Maximum fiber optic cable length is 2 km (2187.2 yds). However, IEEE 802.3 specifications allow for a maximum of 1 km (1093.6 yds).

Attenuation

Test the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic attenuation test set adjusted for an 850 nm wavelength. This test verifies that the signal loss in a cable is

within an acceptable level. Table 3-1 shows the attenuation for each

Multimode cable type.

Fiber Optic Budget and Propagation Delay

Determine the maximum fiber optic cable length by calculating the fiber optic budget delay and total network propagation before the fiber optic cable runs are incorporated into a network design.

Fiber optic budget is the combination of the optical loss due to the fiber optic cable, in-line splices, and fiber optic connectors.

Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes data to travel from the sending device to the receiving device. Total propagation delay allowed for the network is 25.6

µ s (51.2

µ s roundtrip). If the total propagation delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 25.6

µ s, then use bridges.



Cable Specifications

3.1.3

10BASE-T UTP and STP Cable Specifications

The devices and 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Segments connected to an SEHI

EPIM-T module must meet the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T specifications shown below:

Length

The IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard requires that 10BASE-T devices transmit over a 100 meter (328 foot) link using 22-24 AWG Unshielded

Twisted Pair (UTP) wire. However, cable quality largely determines the maximum link length. With high quality, low attenuation cable, link lengths of up to 200 meters are achievable. Cable delay limits the maximum link length to 200 meters, regardless of the cable type.

Insertion Loss

The maximum insertion loss allowed for a 10BASE-T link is 11.5 dB at all frequencies between 5.0 and 10 MHz. This includes the attenuation of the cables, connectors, patch panels, and reflection losses due to impedance mismatches in the link segment.

Impedance

Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T Twisted Pair products work on twisted pair cable with 75 to 165 ohms impedance. UTP cables typically have an impedance of 85 to 110 ohms.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables, such as IBM Type 1 cable, are also used. The impedance of IBM Type 1 cable is typically 150 ohms. Higher impedance increases signal reflection, but because the cable is shielded, signal reflection has little effect on the quality of the received signal due to the lack of crosstalk between the shielded cable pairs.

Jitter

Intersymbol interference and reflections cause jitter in the bit cell timing, resulting in data errors. A 10BASE-T link must not generate more than

5.0 ns of jitter. If the cable meets the impedance requirements for a

10BASE-T link, jitter should not be a concern.

Delay

The maximum propagation delay of a 10BASE-T link segment must not exceed 1000 ns. This 1000 ns maximum delay limits the maximum link segment length to no greater than 200 meters.




Crosstalk

Crosstalk is caused by signal coupling between the different cable pairs contained within a multi-pair cable bundle. 10BASE-T transceivers are designed so that the user does not need to be concerned about cable crosstalk, provided the cable meets all other requirements.

Noise

Noise is caused by either crosstalk or externally induced impulses.

Impulse noise may cause data errors if the impulses occur at very specific times during data transmission. Generally, the user need not be concerned about noise. If noise-related data errors are suspected, it may be necessary to either reroute the cable or eliminate the source of the impulse noise.

Temperature

Multi-pair PVC 24 AWG cables typically have an attenuation of

8 dB to 10 dB/100 meters at 20

°

C (68

°

F). The attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies significantly with temperature. At temperatures greater than 40

°

C (104

°

F), Cabletron Systems recommends the use of plenum-rated cables to ensure that cable attenuation remains within specification.

3.2

NETWORK PORT SPECIFICATIONS

TRANSCEIVER REQUIREMENTS

When connecting an external network segment through a transceiver to the SEHI with an EPIM-A, the following requirements must be met:

• The transceiver or Ethernet device to which the module is connected must meet IEEE 802.3 standards, and/or Ethernet Version 1.0 or

Version 2.0 standards.

• The Signal Quality Error (SQE) test function on the transceiver must be disabled when it is connected to a repeater or to an Ethernet Version

1.0 device. In addition, some Version 2.0 equipment does not support the SQE test. Devices that do not support the SQE test interpret the

SQE test pulse as a collision.

5.1.1

Connecting Network Ports

The SEHI-22FL has ST style network ports. Read the following guidelines before connecting a fiber optic link segment to the SEHI:

• Insert the connector into the port with the alignment key on the connector inserted into the alignment slot on the port. The connector is then turned clockwise to lock it down.

• The physical communication link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the Transmit (TX) and the Receive (RX). Connect the TX strand from the applicable port on the module to the receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The RX strand of the applicable port on the module connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device.



Chapter 5: Connecting to the Network

• Label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is receive and which is transmit. Cabletron Systems fiber optic cable is labeled so that one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2 at both ends of the cable. If the cable was not purchased from Cabletron Systems, label the cable as described above.

!

C AUT IO N

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 the ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, clean them with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

Use the following steps to connect a fiber optic link segment to the SEHI:

1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the applicable port on the module and from the ends of the connectors on each fiber strand.

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

The SEHI is now ready for operation. Before placing the network into service, test the installation thoroughly, making sure that all stations can be addressed and that the SEHI and all stations are indicating normal operation. Ensure that the networking software is configured properly to match the installed network. If there are any errors or abnormal operation,

proceed to Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.



CHAPTER 6

TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains instructions for using LANVIEW LEDs to troubleshoot physical layer network problems. It also describes how to reset the SEHI and how to reset the NVRAM switch.

6.1

INSTALLATION CHECKOUT

After connecting the SEHI to the network, verify that the packets pass between all Ethernet devices connected to the SEHI and any other devices connected to the network. If there is a problem with any of the attached devices, check the link as follows:

1. Check that the LNK LED, if applicable, for the port is on. If the LED is off, proceed with the following steps: a.

Check that the 10BASE-FL device at the other end of the fiber optic segment is powered up and that the TX and RX fibers are properly connected.

b. For twisted pair EPIMs such as the EPIM-T, verify that the connector on the twisted pair segment has the proper pinouts.

Refer to Chapter 3 for the pin assignments for twisted pair

connectors.

For the SEHI 10BASE-FL ports and the EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2, or

EPIM-F3 check that the TX and RX fibers are properly connected.

c.

Check the cable for continuity. Several tools are available for this test, depending on the media used.

d. Check that the twisted pair segments meet cable specifications for

dB loss as described in Chapter 3.



Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

2. If the remote station is ready and the LNK LED is on, but no data passes through the port, one of the following two conditions may exist:

• Network management disabled the port.

• The port is segmented either because the collision detector was on for more than 110

µ s or the SEHI detected more than 32 consecutive collisions on the attached segment. The affected port remains segmented until a good packet is transmitted/received without collisions.

If the LNK LED is still off, contact Cabletron Systems Technical

Support.

The SEHI incorporates the Cabletron Systems LANVIEW status monitoring and diagnostics system. LANVIEW LEDs help diagnose problems such as power failure or cable fault. The SEHI uses the following LANVIEW LEDs:

• PWR, for power status

• CPU, for board status

• RCV (Receive), LNK (Link), and CLN (Collision) for Ethernet status.

Figure 6-1 provides a quick reference chart of LED locations and

definitions. This chapter also includes a detailed description of each LED.

NOTE

Flashing indicates an irregular LED pulse.

Blinking indicates a steady LED pulse.

PWR

When this green LED is on, it indicates that the SEHI is receiving power.

If this LED is off, it indicates a loss of input power. Check the input power source (circuit breaker, fuse, etc.). If the proper source power is present, the problem could be with the SEHI.

CPU

This LED alternates from red to green during power up. After the boot is complete, the LED blinks green. A blinking green LED indicates normal operation. A red LED indicates a faulty processor.



Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

CLN

This red LED indicates that a collision has occurred on one of the ports.

RCV

When a yellow RCV LED flashes, it indicates that the SEHI is receiving data packets from the associated port segment. Each SEHI port has a corresponding RCV LED. The network RCV port LEDs are labeled 1-12 and the EPIM-1 RCV port LED is labeled E-1.

LNK

When a green LNK LED is on, it indicates an established link between the associated port and the device at the other end of the segment. The

LNK LED remains on as long as a link is maintained. Each SEHI

Network Port (ports 1–12) has a corresponding LNK LED.

6.3

USING THE RESET BUTTON

The SEHI incorporates a recessed RESET button. See Figure 6-1. The

RESET button initializes the SEHI processor. This button does NOT initialize Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM), the nonvolatile random access memory where the SEHI stores network management parameters.

To use the RESET button, use a pen or pencil to press the button. When this is done, the SEHI initializes itself.



Setting the NVRAM Switch

6.4

SETTING THE NVRAM SWITCH

To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, do not remove the chassis cover to access the NVRAM switch, and use only a non-metallic tool when moving the NVRAM switch.

The SEHI uses NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) to store user-entered parameters such as IP address and Community Names. To

reset these parameters to the factory defaults, refer to Figure 6-2 and

perform the following steps:

1. With the power ON and using a non-metallic tool, move the NVRAM switch to the UP position.

2. Press the RESET switch located on the front panel.

3. Wait until the unit boots (approximately 12 seconds).

4. Return the NVRAM switch to the DOWN position.

!

C AUT IO N

Failure to return the NVRAM switch to the DOWN position results in loss of user-entered parameters upon power shutdown and restart. The SEHI clears NVRAM if the unit is restarted with the switch in the UP position.

CHAPTER 7

LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access the

SEHI Local Management. It also explains how to use the Local

Management screens and commands.

Use Local Management to accomplish the following tasks:

• Assign an IP address and subnet mask.

• Select a default gateway.

• Control access to the SEHI through the community names established in the Community Name Table.

• Designate which Network Management Workstations receive trap messages from the device.

• Navigate through the Management Information Base (MIB) and manage the objects within it from a remote location. Given the appropriate security level, the MIB is accessible from the SEHI through SNMP Tools.

Local Management also allows the user to manage each non-intelligent stackable hub attached to the SEHI, and provides a Statistics screen to view error, collision, and traffic statistics for the entire stack, individual module, or individual port.

Community names are set through the Community Name Table option.

Community names are passwords to Local Management and are agents of security control to the SEHI. SEHI access is controlled by establishing up to four different levels of security authorization: Basic-Read, Read-Only,

Read-Write, and Super-User.

With Super-User access, the user changes the existing passwords by changing the community names. Only the community name assigned

Super-User access has full management privileges.

The following sections explain each field on the Community Name Table screen and provides instructions on how to change them.

COMMUNITY NAME

Displays the user-defined name through which a user can access Local

Management for the SEHI. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to Local Management.



The Community Name Table Screen

ACCESS

Indicates the access status accorded each community name. Possible conditions are as follows:

BASIC-READ This allows Read-Only access to Local

Management, but excludes read privileges to the Component Trap screen.

READ-ONLY

READ-WRITE

This allows Read-Only access to Local

Management, but excludes access to security protected fields of the upper levels of authorization (Read-Write or Super-User).

This allows the user to read and write to Local

Management fields, excluding IP Address,

Subnet Mask, and Community Names.

SUPER-USER This access privilege gives the user read and write access to Local Management. Super-User allows read and write access to all modifiable parameters including: Community Names, IP

Addresses, Traps, and SNMP Objects.

Editing the Community Name Field

The password used to access Local Management at the Password screen must have Super-User privileges for the edits to take effect. If a password is entered with Basic-Read, Read-Only, or Read-Write privileges, Local

Management displays the message “AUTHORIZATION PROHIBITS

ACCESS”, and does not include editing capabilities.

To edit the Community Name field:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent to the desired access level.

2. Enter the community name (maximum of 32 characters) into the field.

APPENDIX B

IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDs

This appendix provides instructions for setting up a TFTP server and to download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings.

Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 7,

Section 7.8.

NOTE

Download an image file to the SEHI with a remote management package such as SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM

Element Manager, or the appropriate SPECTRUM Portable

Management Application. Refer to the specific package documentation for image file download procedures.

The SEHI supports the Standard TFTP Download application. In this application the SEHI automatically goes offline during the image download. After the download, the SEHI programs FLASH, then reboots with the new image.

Before downloading the image to the SEHI, you must complete the following steps:

1. Decompress the image file on a DOS PC using the PKUNZIP utility included with the image.

NOTE

The PKUNZIP utility requires a DOS PC. You must decompress the image file on the DOS PC before you load the image file onto the TFTP server.

2. Load the decompressed image file onto the TFTP server.

NOTE

For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP server, refer to your specific workstation documentation. These instructions include limited information and guidelines for setting up a UNIX workstation to work as a TFTP server.

SEHI User’s Guide B-1


Appendix B: Image File Download Using OIDs

B.1

SETTING UP A UNIX WORKSTATION AS A TFTP

SERVER

Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations, this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples indicates operator entry.

!

C AUT IO N

If unsure about how to properly configure a UNIX workstation using these guidelines, contact the Systems Administrator.

To set up a UNIX workstation, proceed as follows:

1. Edit the /etc/ethers file by adding the SEHI MAC address, followed by a unique name (e.g., 00:00:1d:32:0c:1b sehi).

2. Edit the /etc/hosts file by adding the SEHI MAC address and follow it with the same unique name used in step 1 (e.g., 00:00:1d:32:0c:1b sehi).

3. If the workstation already has a /tftpboot directory, confirm the TFTP setup of the workstation as follows:

Request a process status and grep for TFTP (e.g., unix% ps-aux | grep

tftp).

The following information represents a typical output: user 161 7.7

root 87 0.0

1.2

0.9

32 184

48 136 p3

?

S 12:00 grep tftp

S 11:05 tftp -s

The term tftp -s , located at the end of the root string, indicates TFTP is active. If TFTP is NOT running, only the grep process appears.

4. If the workstation does NOT have a /tftpboot directory, than create one

(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).

5. Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned (e.g., unix% chown

nobody tftpboot).

B-2 SEHI User’s Guide


Standard TFTP Download

NOTE

The next step requires decompression of the zipped image file.

If you do not have a UNIX unzip utility, access to a PC with

PKUNZIP, or a way to FTP the decompressed image to your

UNIX workstation, contact Cabletron Systems Technical

Support.

6. Store the hex image file in the /tftpboot directory as sehi.hex.

7. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file by removing anything prior to the tftpboot daemon (e.g., the # sign) that comments-out the line.

8. Kill the inetd process (e.g., unix% kill -HUP ‘process ID number’), and then restart the process (e.g., unix% inetd), to enable the revised inetd.conf file.

NOTE

The user must request a process status and grep for inetd to obtain the process ID number (refer to step 3).

B.2

STANDARD TFTP DOWNLOAD

Table B-1 provides a step-by-step procedure for downloading the

firmware image file. This section provides specific MIB OIDs, MIB names, and the required setting for proper image file download. Refer to the specific MIB walking tool documentation for instructions on how to set MIB OID strings.

The Download OIDs for CabletronSystems products reside in Cabletron

Systems enterprise MIBs (group 52). The specific OIDs necessary to perform an image file download reside in the common download group under ctDL (Cabletron Download). The full OID string to reach this group is

1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1.

When performing the steps in Table B-1, keep the following in mind:

• Follow the steps in order.

• Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in standard dotted decimal notation (e.g., 132.177.118.24).

SEHI User’s Guide B-3


Appendix B: Image File Download Using OIDs

• Enter the FULL path to the image file in the ctDLTFTPRequest OID, including the name of the image file (e.g., c:/tftpboot/sehi.hex).
