Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to install the switch:

Selecting a Site for the Switch

As with any electric device, you should place the switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:

-The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).

-The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.

-Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2

(3V/M) field strength.

-Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of the switch.

-The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch.

Connecting to Power

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug it into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 Vac.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the switch.

Cabling

Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices is turned off.

<Note> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.

Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.

<Note> To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs, you need a cross-over cable.

Step 3: Consult Cable Specifications Table on previous page for cabling requirements based on connectors and speed.

Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.

Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the switch is operational.



Switch Management

This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management access to the switch. It describes the types of management applications and the communication and management protocols that deliver data between your management device (workstation or personal computer) and the system. It also contains information about port connection options.

This chapter covers the following topics:

•

Management Access Overview

•

Key Concepts

•

Key Guidelines for Implementation

•

Administration Console Access

•

Web Management Access

•

SNMP Access

•

Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading

Management Access Overview

The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the switch using any or all of the following methods.

The administration console and web browser interface support are embedded in the switch software and are available for immediate use.

Administration Console

The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, menu-driven user interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings.

Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the switch’s console port.

There are two ways to use this management method: direct access or modem access. The following sections describe these methods.

Direct Access

Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminalemulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the switch console port.

When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):

[DEFAULT PARAMETERS]

♦ 115,200bps

♦ 8 data bits

♦ No parity

♦ 1 stop bit



This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.

Modem Access

You can access the switch’s administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console port. The switch management program provides Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen, that lets you configure parameters for modem access.

When you have configured the external modem from the administration console, the switch transmits characters that you have entered as output on the modem port. The switch echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current administration console session. The console appears to be directly connected to the external modem.

Web Management

The switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely.

After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the switch’s web interface applications directly in your web browser by entering the IP address of the switch. You can then use your web browser to list and manage switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the switch’s console port.

Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.03 or later.

SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network management station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for the switch are public.

Protocols

The switch supports the following protocols:

VIRTUAL TERMINAL PROTOCOLS, SUCH AS TELNET

A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you to establish a management session from a

Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address configured on the switch before you can establish access to it with a virtual terminal protocol.

<Note> Terminal emulation is different from a virtual terminal protocol in that you must connect a terminal directly to the console port.

SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)

SNMP is the standard management protocol for multivendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.

Management Architecture

All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI).

By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (e.g. console port) are immediately displayed the other management methods (e.g. SNMP agent of web browser).

The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that the switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.


Menu-Driven Console Management

The switch provides a menu-driven console interface for configuration purposes. The switch can be configured either locally through its RS-232 port or remotely via a Telnet session. For the later, you must specify an IP address for the switch first.

This chapter describes how to configure the switch using its menu-driven console.

* For initial IP settings, you must configure the switch through its

RS232 port.

SNMP & RMON Management

This chapter describes the switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring

(RMON) capabilities.

Overview

RMON is an abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring MIB (Management Information Base). RMON is a system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) document RFC 1757, which defines how networks can be monitored remotely.

RMONs typically consist of two components: an RMON probe and a management workstation:

- The RMON probe is an intelligent device or software agent that continually collects statistics about a LAN segment or VLAN. The

RMON probe transfers the collected data to a management workstation on request or when a pre-defined threshold is reached.

- The management workstation collects the statistics that the RMON probe gathers. The workstation can reside on the same network as the probe, or it can have an in-band or out-of-band connection to the probe.

The switch provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network

Management Station running an SNMP network management application with graphical user interface.

SNMP Agent and MIB-2 (RFC 1213)

The SNMP Agent running on the switch manager CPU is responsible for:

- Retrieving MIB counters from various layers of software modules according to the SNMP GET/GET NEXT frame messages.

- Setting MIB variables according to the SNMP SET frame message.

- Generating an SNMP TRAP frame message to the Network Management Station if the threshold of a certain MIB counter is reached or if other trap conditions (such as the following) are met:

COLD START

LINK UP

LINK DOWN

RISING ALARM

TOPOLOGY ALARM

MIB-II defines a set of manageable objects in various layers of the TCP/IP protocol suites. MIB-II covers all manageable objects from layer 1 to layer 4, and, as a result, is the major SNMP MIB supported by all vendors in the networking industry. The switch supports a complete implementation of SNMP Agent and MIB-II.

RMON MIB (RFC 1757) and Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

The switch provides hardware-based RMON counters in the switch chipset. The switch manager CPU polls these counters periodically to collect the statistics in a format that complies with the RMON MIB definition.

RMON Groups Supported

The switch supports the following RMON MIB groups defined in RFC 1757:

- RMON Statistics Group – maintains utilization and error statistics for the switch port being monitored.

- RMON History Group – gathers and stores periodic statistical samples from the previous Statistics Group.

- RMON Alarm Group – allows a network administrator to define alarm thresholds for any MIB variable. An alarm can be associated with Low Threshold, High Threshold, or both. A trigger can trigger an alarm when the value of a specific MIB variable exceeds a threshold, falls below a threshold, or exceeds or falls below a threshold.

- RMON Event Group – allows a network administrator to define actions based on alarms. SNMP Traps are generated when RMON

Alarms are triggered. The action taken in the Network Management Station depends on the specific network management application.

Bridge Groups Supported

The switch supports the following four groups of Bridge MIB (RFC 1493):

- The dot1dBase Group – a mandatory group that contains the objects applicable to all types of bridges.

- The dot1dStp Group – contains objects that denote the bridge’s state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implement the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to any transparent only, source route, or SRT bridge that implements the Spanning Tree Protocol.

- The dot1dTp Group – contains objects that describe the entity’s transparent bridging status. This group is applicable to transparent operation only and SRT bridges.

- The dot1dStatic Group – contains objects that describe the entity’s destination-address filtering status. This group is applicable to any type of bridge which performs destination-address filtering.
