Switch Features
Switch Features
The features of the Switch 6108 include:
1-8
■
six auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
■
two dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T
RJ-45 or the mini-GBIC can be used for each port.
■
plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■
IEEE 802.3ab “Auto MDI/MDI-X” on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that
all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair
cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.
Complying with the IEEE 802.3ab standard, the pin operation of each port
is automatically adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that
another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as
MDI; if the switch detects that an end-node device is connected to the
port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■
automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).
■
automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45
ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices—the mini-GBIC
ports always operate at full duplex.
■
easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:
•
console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management
or for Telnet access to the switch.
•
web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common web browsers.
•
HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches—an SNMP-based, graphical
network management tool that you can use to manage your entire
network. This product is included with your new switch.
■
support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops
■
support for up to 30 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the
attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
■
support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—
for a description, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which
is on the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your switch.
■
download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.

Install mini-GBICs (optional—page 2-5). The switch has two slots
for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will install the switch,
it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Note that the mini-GBICs
can be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch
is powered on.
3.
Verify that the switch passes self test (page 2-7). This is a simple
process of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the
LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation.
4.
Mount the switch (page 2-9). The Switch 6108 can be mounted in a
19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal
surface.
5.
Connect power to the switch (page 2-14). Once the switch is
mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.
6.
Connect the network devices (page 2-15). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
7.
Connect a console to the switch (page 2-16). You may wish to modify
the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it
can be managed using a web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be
made easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the
switch’s console port.
At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installation Procedures
Installation Precautions:
Follow these precautions when installing your HP Switch 6108.
Warning
■
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter
devices installed above.
For safe operation, do not install the switch with the back face of the
switch (with the fan vents) facing either downward or upward.
■
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use
the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
■
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the
safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.
The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with
the switch.
■
When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the
switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered
off.
■
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and
over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the
supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on
the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit
for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors.
■
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
■
Make sure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not
restricted.

Note: Since the 10Base-T operation is through
10/100/1000Base-T ports, if you ever want to
upgrade the ports to 100Base-TX, it would be
best to cable the ports initially with category 5
cable. For 1000Base-T, category 5E, or better,
cable should be used.
The 10/100/1000-Base-T ports on the
Switch 6108 include the IEEE 802.3ab “Auto
MDI/MDI-X” feature. This feature allows you
to use either straight-through or crossover
twisted-pair cables for connecting to any
network devices including end nodes, such as
computers, or to other switches, hubs, and
routers.

orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
•
In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for
the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
•
In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
•
On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling,
except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
2. Installing or Removing mini-GBICs
Notes
■
The mini-GBIC slots are shared with two of the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
ports. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is
disabled and cannot be used.
■
The mini-GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is
not supported.
■
Make sure that the network cable is NOT connected when you install or
remove a mini-GBIC.

Removing the mini-GBICs:
Note
You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before removing
it from the switch.
Depending on when you purchased your HP Procurve mini-GBIC, it may have
either of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of
the mini-GBIC, a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC, or a wire bail.
To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic or plastic collar, push the tab
or collar toward the switch until you see the mini-GBIC release from the switch
(you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
To remove the mini-GBICs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is
approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the mini-GBIC from the
slot.

Installation Procedures
3. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test
Before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify that
it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it
passes its self test.
1.
Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector
on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
Note
The Switch 6108 does not have a power switch. It is powered on when the
power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source. For safety, the
power outlet should be located near the switch installation.
The switch automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts and
either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with
the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark
is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.

Check the LEDs on the switch as described below.
Self Test LED
Switch port LEDs
Installing the Switch 6108
Power and
Fault LEDs
When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. Self
test takes approximately 50 seconds to complete.
LED Behavior:
During the self test:
•
Initially, all the switch and port LEDs are on and stay on for most of
the duration of the self test.
•
Most of the LEDs go off and then may come on again during phases
of the self test. For the duration of the self test, the Self Test LED stays
on.
When the self test completes successfully:
•
The Power and Fan Status LEDs remain on.
•
The Fault and Self Test LEDs go off.
•
The port LEDs on the front of the switch go into their normal operational mode:
– If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link
LEDs stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode
selected. In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LEDs should
flicker showing network activity on the port.
– If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link
and Mode LEDs will stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, especially if
the Fault and Self Test LEDs stay on for more than 60 seconds or they start
blinking, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting” for diagnostic help.

Installation Procedures
7. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch 6108
Installing the Switch 6108
The Switch 6108 has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for
performing switch management tasks including the following:
■
Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity statistics
■
Modify the switch’s configuration to optimize switch performance,
enhance network traffic control, and improve network security
■
Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
■
Download new software to the switch
■
Add passwords to control access to the switch from the console, web
browser interface, and network management stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
■
Out-of-band: The Switch 6108 come with a serial cable for connecting a
PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console, directly to the switch.
■
In-Band: Access the console using Telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that
you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using
either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp. For more
information on IP addressing and on starting a Telnet session, see
chapter 3, “Getting Started With Switch Configuration”, and the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM
that came with your switch.
The Switch 6108 can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session
through the Console Port and one in-band Telnet console session.
Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either
one to operate with these settings:
•
any baud rate from 1200 to 115200 (the switch senses the speed)
•
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
•
For the Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option
•
For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter.
If you want to operate the console using a different configuration, make sure
you change the settings on both the terminal and on the switch so they are
compatible. Change the switch settings first, then change the terminal
settings, then reboot the switch and reestablish the console session.

The Switch 6108 also works well as a segment switch. That is, with its high
performance, it can be used for interconnecting network segments—simply
connect the network hubs that form those segments to the switch, or you can
also connect other switches.
In the illustration above, two “Fast” Ethernet hubs with PCs, printers, and local
servers attached, are both connected to a Switch 6108. The devices attached
to the two hubs can now communicate with each other through the switch.
They can also all communicate with the server that is connected to the switch.
Because the Switch 6108 has the IEEE 802.3ab “Auto-MDI/MDIX” feature, the
connections between the switch and the hubs, and between the switch and
end nodes or servers can be through category 5 “straight-through” or “crossover” twisted-pair cable. Category 3 or 4 cable can also be used if the connection is 10 Mbps only. In all cases, the device ports must be configured to auto
negotiate the link characteristics for this feature to work.
The switch, in turn, can be connected to a network backbone through fiberoptic cabling connected to a Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH mini-GBIC installed in the
switch. Now, all the devices on these network segments can access other
network resources that are connected elsewhere on the network backbone.

The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two
examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use
an HP Procurve Switch 8000M to interconnect each of your smaller switched
workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other. With a Gigabit-SX Module, for example, in
the Switch 8000M, the entire switched topology could be connected to a
campus backbone, as shown in the illustration above.
Note

In the illustration above, the 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connection between the
Switch 6108 and the Switch 8000M is by way of a Gigabit-SX mini-GBIC
installed in the Switch 6108 connected to a Gigabit-SX Module in the Switch
8000M.
Installing the Switch 6108
Sample Network Topologies
Stacking the Switch
Switch 6108 units can be connected together, through standard network
connections, and managed through a single IP address. Up to 16 switches can
be connected together in such a “virtual stack”.
You identify the switch as the “Commander” and give that switch an IP address.
Up to 15 other switches in the network can then easily be configured as
Members of the stack and managed through the Commander’s IP address. The
management includes Telnet access and web browser interface access to the
Commander and to each Member switch through the Commander.
2-21
Installing the Switch 6108
For more information on stacking your Switch 6108, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that
came with your switch.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration
This chapter is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly
assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a
Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
For more information on using the switch console and the other switch
management interfaces: the web browser interface and the SNMP management tool, HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches, please see the Management and
Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came
with your switch.
Recommended Minimal Configuration
Many other features can be configured through the switch’s console interface,
to optimize the switch’s performance, to enhance your control of the network
traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been configured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently through
a remote Telnet session, through the switch’s web browser interface, and from
an SNMP network management station running a network management
program, such as HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches. For a listing of switch
features available with and without an IP address, refer to “How IP Addressing
Affects Switch Operation” in the Management and Configuration Guide,
which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.
For more information on IP addressing, refer to “IP Configuration” in the
Management and Configuration Guide.
3-1
Getting Started With Switch
Configuration
In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol)
address and subnet mask, and no passwords. In this state, it can be managed
only through a direct console connection. To manage the switch through inband (networked) access, you should configure the switch with an IP address
and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure
a Manager password to control access privileges from the console and web
browser interface. Other parameters in the Switch Setup screen can be left at
their default settings or you can configure them with values you enter.
Getting Started With Switch Configuration
Note
By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual
method described in this chapter, see “DHCP/Bootp Operation” in the
Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation
CD-ROM that came with your switch.
Using the Console Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password protection in your network is to use a direct console
connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup
screen.
1.
Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI)
prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number:
HP Procurve Switch 6108#
At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup
screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default
settings.
3.
Use the [Tab] key to select the Manager Password field and enter a manager
password of up to 16 characters.

you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web
browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station
using a tool such as HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches.
Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next
section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch
Management
With your Switch 6108, you can use the switch’s IP address to manage the
switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You can use
either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the switch.
Starting a Telnet Session
To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch
is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example,
by using a Ping command to the switch’s IP address).
2.
Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch
and connect to the switch’s IP address.
3.
You will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key to
continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command
(CLI) prompt, for example:
Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the
prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed
context help information about the command. Entering any command
followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in
the command entry.
Starting a Web Browser Session
Your Switch 6108 can be managed through a graphical interface that you can
access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your web
browser and typing in the switch’s IP address as the URL. No additional
software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included
in the switch’s onboard software.
A typical web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your HP Procurve Switch 6108.
Note that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware
perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the
Switch 6108 using the software tools available with the switch, including the
full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface, and HP
TopTools for Hubs & Switches, the SNMP-based network management tool.
For more information, see the chapter “Troubleshooting” in the Management
and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came
with your switch.
This chapter describes the following:
■
basic troubleshooting tips (page 4-1)
■
diagnosing with the LEDs (page 4-4)
■
Proactive Networking tools (page 4-8)
■
hardware diagnostic tests (page 4-9)

■
HP Customer Support Services (page 4-12)
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items
first when starting your troubleshooting:
■
•
If the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will
automatically negotiate both link speed and communication mode.
4-1
Troubleshooting
Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.
The RJ-45 ports are configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to
attached devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine
the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex):
Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
•
If the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example
100 Mbps, at half or full duplex, the switch will automatically sense
the link speed, but will default to a communication mode of half
duplex.
Because the Switch 6108 behaves in this way (in compliance with the
IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed
configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the
switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.
Make sure that all devices connected to the Switch 6108 are configured
to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are
configured this way, for example).
■
Faulty or loose cables. Look for loose or obviously faulty connections.
If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does
not correct the problem, try a different cable.
■
Non-standard cables. Non-standard and miswired cables may cause
network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair
network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable or compare your
cable to the cable in appendix B, “Cables and Connectors” for pinouts and
correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for
every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T network installation.
■
Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have
a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive
cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have
network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to
the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new
topology is probably at fault. Sample topologies are shown at the end of
chapter 2 in this book, and some topology configuration guidelines can
be found online at the HP Procurve web site, http://www.hp.com/go/
hpprocurve.
Troubleshooting
In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains
no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only
one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast
storms that will severely impact your network performance.
For your Switch 6108, if you wish to build redundant paths between
important nodes in your network to provide some fault tolerance, you
should enable Spanning Tree Protocol support on the switch. This
ensures that only one of the redundant paths is active at any time, thus
avoiding data path loops. Spanning Tree can be enabled through the
switch console, the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs &
Switches.
4-2
Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
The Switch 6108 also supports Trunking, which allows multiple network
cables to be used for a single network connection without causing a data
path loop. For more information on Spanning Tree and Trunking, see the
Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation
CD-ROM that came with your switch.
■
Check the port configuration. A port on your Switch 6108 may not be
operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by
Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking).
(Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP
features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have
been configured as disabled through software.
Use the switch console to determine the port’s configuration and verify
that there is not an improper or undesired configuration of any of the
switch features that may be affecting the port. For more information, see
the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.
For more information on possible network problems and their solutions, refer
to the technical note “Troubleshooting LAN Performance and Intermittent
Connectivity Problems”, which can be found on the HP Procurve web site,

Diagnosing with the LEDs
Diagnostic Tips:
Problem
Solution
➊
The switch is not
plugged into an
active AC power
source, or the
switch’s power
supply may have
failed.
1. Verify that the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the switch.
Make sure these connections are snug.
2. Try power cycling the switch by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in.
3. If the Power LED is still not on, verify that the AC power source works by plugging
another device into the outlet. Or try plugging the switch into a different outlet or try a
different power cord.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch power
supply may have failed. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support
services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more
information.
➋
A switch
hardware failure
has occurred. All
the LEDs will stay
on indefinitely.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch may have failed.
Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get
assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more information.
➌
The switch has
experienced a
software failure
during self test.
1. Try resetting the switch by pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch, or by
power cycling the switch.
2. If the fault indication reoccurs, attach a console to the switch (as indicated in
chapter 2) and configure it to operate at 9600 baud. Then, reset the switch. Messages
should appear on the console screen and in the console log identifying the error
condition. You can view the console log at that point by selecting it from the console
Main Menu.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the
electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/
Warranty booklet for more information.
➍
One or both of the
switch cooling
fans may have
failed.
Try disconnecting power from the switch and wait a few moments. Then reconnect the
power to the switch and check the LEDs again. If the error indication reoccurs, one or
both of the fans has failed. The switch has two fans and may continue to operate under
this condition if the ambient temperature does not exceed normal room temperature, but
for best operation, the switch should be replaced. Contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer,
or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer
Support/Warranty booklet for more information.
➎
The network port
for which the LED
is blinking has
experienced a
self test or
initialization
failure.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch port may have
failed. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from
HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more information.
If the port is a mini-GBIC, verify that it is one of the mini-GBICs supported by the switch.
Unsupported mini-GBICs will be identified with this fault condition. The supported miniGBICs are listed in Chapter 2, “Installing the Switch 6108” on page 2-5. The mini-GBICs
are also tested when they are “hot-swapped”—installed or changed while the switch is
powered on.
To verify that the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the mini-GBIC without
having to power off the switch. If the port fault indication reoccurs, you will have to
replace the mini-GBIC.

The network
connection is not
working
properly.
Try the following procedures:
• For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the
connected device, are connected properly.
• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
– For twisted-pair connections to the 10/100/1000-T ports, if the port is configured to
“Auto” (auto negotiate), either “straight-through” or “crossover” cables can be
used because of the IEEE 802.3ab “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature of these ports.
Note: If the switch port configuration is changed to one of the fixed configuration
options (for example, 100 Mbps/Full Duplex), then the port operates as MDI-X only
and you must use the correct type of cable for the connection. In general, for
connecting an end node (MDI port) to the switch, use “straight-through” cable; for
connecting to MDI-X ports on hubs, other switches, and routers, use “crossover”
cable.
•

•
•
Troubleshooting
•

– For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the switch is connected
to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is
connected to the transmit port on the connected device.
For the dual-personality 10/100/1000-T ports, be sure a mini-GBIC is not installed in the
associated slot.
For 1000Base-T connections, verify that the network cabling complies with the IEEE
802.3ab standard. the cable should be installed according to the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568A-5 specifications. Cable testing should comply with the stated limitations for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk, Far-End Crosstalk, Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT),
Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.
The cable verification process must include all patch cables from any end devices,
including the switch, to any patch panels in the cabling path.
Verify that the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change.
You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the
switch, use the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches network
management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if
necessary.
Verify that the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached
device. For example, if the switch port is configured as “Auto”, the port on the attached
device also MUST be configured as “Auto”. Depending on the port type, twisted-pair
or fiber-optic, if the configurations don’t match, the results could be a very unreliable
connection, or no link at all.
If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different
cable.

The port may be
improperly
configured, or
the port may be in
a “blocking”
state by the
normal operation
of the Spanning
Tree, LACP, or
IGMP features.
Use the switch console to see if the port is part of a dynamic trunk (through the LACP
feature) or to see if Spanning Tree is enabled on the switch, and to see if the port may
have been put into a “blocking” state by those features. The show lacp command displays
the port status for the LACP feature; the show spanning-tree command displays the port
status for Spanning Tree.
Also check the Port Status screen using the show interfaces command to see if the port
has been configured as “disabled”.
Other switch features that may affect the port operation include VLANs and IGMP. Use
the switch console to see how the port is configured for these features.
For software troubleshooting tips, see the chapter “Troubleshooting” in the Management
and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your
switch.
Make sure also, that the device at the other end of the connection is indicating a good
link to the switch. If it is not, the problem may be with the cabling between the devices or
the connectors on the cable.

Proactive Networking
Proactive Networking
The HP Procurve Switch 6108 has built-in management capabilities that
proactively help you manage your network including:
■
finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions
(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topologies)
■
informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages
■
recommending network configuration changes to enhance the performance of your network
The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can
be used to monitor the switch and its network connections and to help you
take advantage of these proactive networking features:
■
HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches — an SNMP-based network management tool that is included with your switch.
■
A graphical web browser interface that you can use to manage your switch
from a PC running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft
Internet Explorer, and Netscape Communicator.
■
A full-featured easy-to-use console interface that you can access by
connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the
switch’s console port. The cable to make that connection is provided with
your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a Telnet
connection.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Testing the Switch by Resetting It
If you believe that the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the
switch to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset a switch, either:
■
Unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling)
■
Press the Reset button on the front of the switch
Power cycling the switch and pressing the Reset button both cause the switch
to perform its power-on self test, which almost always will resolve any
temporary operational problems. These reset processes also cause any
network traffic counters to be reset to zero, and cause the System Up Time
timer to reset to zero.
Checking the Switch LEDs
The self test passes if the Fault and Self Test LEDs on the front of the switch
go off after approximately 50 seconds. If these LEDs stay on longer than 60
seconds or begin blinking, there may be a problem with the switch.
See “Diagnosing With the LEDs” on page 4-4 for information on interpreting
the LED patterns.
Checking Console Messages
4-9
Troubleshooting
Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the
switch is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 7, “Connect a Console to
the Switch”, connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a
standard VT-100 terminal to the switch’s Console Port and configure it to run
at 9600 baud, and with the other terminal communication settings shown on
page 2-16. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are
displayed. Additionally, you can check the switch event log, which can be
accessed from the console using the show log command, or from the console
Main Menu.
Troubleshooting
Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling
Network cables that fail to provide a link or provide an unreliable link between
the switch and the connected network device may not be compatible with the
IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T standards. The
twisted-pair cables attached to the Switch 6108 must be compatible with the
appropriate standards. To verify that your cable is compatible with these
standards, use a qualified cable test device.
Testing Switch-to-Device Network Communications
You can perform the following communication tests to verify that the network
is operating correctly between the switch and any connected device that can
respond correctly to the communication test.
■
Link Test -- a physical layer test that sends IEEE 802.2 test packets to any
device identified by its MAC address
■
Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test
packets to any device identified by its IP address
These tests can be performed through the switch console interface from a
terminal connected to the switch or through a Telnet connection, or from the
switch’s web browser interface. For more information, see the Management
and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came
with your switch.
These tests can also be performed from an SNMP network management
station running a program that can manage the switch, for example, HP
TopTools for Hubs & Switches.
Testing End-to-End Network Communications
Troubleshooting
Both the switch and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end
communications test -- a test that sends known data from one network device
to another through the switch. For example, if you have two PCs on the
network that have LAN adapters between which you can run a link-level test
or Ping test through the switch, you can use this test to verify that the entire
communication path between the two PCs is functioning correctly. See your
LAN adapter documentation for more information on running a link test or
Ping test.

Troubleshooting
Restoring the Factory Default Configuration
Restoring the Factory Default
Configuration
As part of your troubleshooting process on the Switch 6108, it may become
necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings.
This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero,
performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default
configuration including deleting the IP address, if one is configured.
Note
This process removes all switch configuration changes that you have made
from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of
VLANs, Spanning Tree, trunks, and stacking. Returning the configuration of
these features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may
result in network connectivity issues.
If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default
settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the
switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after
the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved
configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, you can
use the console copy command. For more information on this command, see
the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation
CD-ROM that came with your switch.
You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself,
or through the switch console.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear
buttons on the front of the switch.
2.
Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.
3.
When the Self Test LED begins to blink, release the Clear button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its
configuration restored to the factory default settings.
To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the
erase startup-config command from the console command prompt.

Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking
cables that work for 100Base-TX connections should also work for
1000Base-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust

B-1
Switch Ports and Network
Cables
Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN
communications. HP recommends that you work with a qualified LAN cable
installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.
Switch Ports and Network Cables
Because of the increased speed provided by 1000Base-T (Gigabit-T), network
cable quality is more important than for either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Site
Cabling plants being used to carry 1000Base-T networking must comply with
the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for
Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT).
Additionally, unlike the cables for 100Base-TX, the 1000Base-T cables must
pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) and Return Loss.
Switch Ports and Network
Cables
When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect
the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch
cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also
comply with the cabling standards.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX
Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for
Gigabit-LX
The following information applies to installations in which multimode
fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port.
Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs, since they are designed to operate with both singlemode and multimode cable, do not provide the transmission conditioning
internally. Thus, under certain circumstances, depending on the cable used
and the lengths of the cable runs, an external Mode Conditioning Patch
Cord may need to be installed between the Gigabit-LX transmitting device
and the multimode network cable to provide the transmission conditioning.
If you experience a high number of transmission errors on the Gigabit-LX
ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch
cords between the Gigabit-LX port in your switch and your multimode fiberoptic network cabling, and between the Gigabit-LX transmission device and
the network cabling at the other end of the multimode fiber-optic cable run.
A patch cord must be installed at both ends.
The patch cord consists of a short length of single-mode fiber cable coupled
to graded-index multimode fiber cable on the transmit side, and only multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single-mode fiber is connected
in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode delay in the
multimode cable.
Note
Most of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber
cable that adheres to the standards listed on page 2-4, there should not be a
need to use mode conditioning patch cords in your network. This is especially
true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short.
If you are using single-mode fiber-optic cabling in your network, there is no
need to use mode conditioning patch cords. Connect the single-mode network
cable directly to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC.
B-3
Switch Ports and Network
Cables
Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling,
Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable. Multimode cable
has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires
that the transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable
design and thus prevent resulting transmission errors. Since Gigabit-SX is
designed to operate only with multimode cable, Gigabit-SX mini-GBICs can
provide that transmission conditioning internally.
Switch Ports and Network Cables
Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX
Installing the Patch Cord
As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX
mini-GBIC with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit)
port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling
patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
So, for any connection, a “straight-through” twisted-pair cable can be used —
you no longer have to use “crossover” cables. If you do happen to use a
correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will still be able to
automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation of the connected device and
will link correctly.
Note
Using Fixed Configurations. If the port configuration is changed to any of
the fixed configurations though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port
operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type must be used: for connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a “straight-through” cable; for
connections to MDI-X ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a
“crossover” cable.
Other Wiring Rules:
■
All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be
twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must
conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See “Twisted-Pair Cable Pin
Assignments” later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each
pin.
■
For 1000Base-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be
available for data transmission. Please see “Note on 1000Base-T Cable
Requirements” on page B-1 for more information on 1000Base-T
cabling.
■
For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 Type
10Base-T standard.
B-5
Switch Ports and Network
Cables
The IEEE 802.3ab “Auto MDI/MDI-X” Feature: The 10/100/1000Base-T
ports on the Switch 6108 all have the “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature that is part of
the IEEE 802.3ab standard. They automatically detect the type of port on any
device connected to the Switch 6108 and then operate as either an MDI or
MDI-X port, whichever is appropriate. If you connect a Switch 6108 twistedpair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the
Switch 6108 ports operates as an MDI port and connects correctly. If you
connect an end node, such as a server or PC which typically have MDI ports,
to the Switch 6108, the switch port operates as an MDI-X port and connects
correctly.
