Ethernet Routing Switch 8600/8800 Hardware Overview

ERS 8800 7.0 Introduction
ERS 8800 7.0 and above This course will introduce the ERS 8800. The ERS 8800 is a new game for everything good about the 8600 plus all of the promise of the new generation of virtualization-enabling software. ERS 8800 Release 7.0 and above hardware requirements: ERS 8895SF CPU modules ERS 8600 R and RS I/O modules or 8800 modules Due to requirements of R and RS modules, High Speed Fans ERS 8000 chassis (8003R, 8006, 8010)
ERS 8800 Release 7.0 is backwards compatible with the ERS 8600. When using the ERS 8600 the hardware requirements are: ERS 8692SF with Supermez ERS 8600 R and RS I/O modules ERS 8000 chassis (8003R, 8006, 8010)
References to the ERS 8600 7.0 also apply to the ERS 8800 (excluding specifics of the 8895SF).
IG Note

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Hardware Overview
Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Hardware Overview The ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 are available in four chassis types: 8003R (only supports R/RS-modules and rel. 7.0 and above) 8006 8010 8010co
All chassis are built using the same backplane architecture and use the same switch fabric and I/O modules. All power supplies and modules are hot-swappable. Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 Chassis Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Chassis

8010 and 8006 Chassis
8010 and 8006 Chassis Layout 8010 and 8006 Chassis Layout
8010 Chassis The ERS 8010 is a ten-slot chassis containing eight slots for I/O modules (slots 1-4 and slots 7-10), and two slots for CPU/ SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the SF modules only. One CPU/SF module is required for operation. If a second CPU/SF module is installed, it provides fail-over redundancy for the first CPU/SF module. In addition, the Silicon Switch Fabrics (SSFs) on both CPU/SF modules are simultaneously active and therefore share the switching load for all the I/O module ports, increasing core switching capacity and throughput to provide non-blocking capabilities even with 240 Gigabit Ethernet ports installed. The 8010 also supports up to three load-sharing, redundant power supplies. Power requirements and power supplies are detailed later in this lesson. The 8010 chassis houses two fan trays to provide cooling for the chassis, one for the top five slots and another for the bottom five slots. A high speed fan try is required when installing R/RS Modules in the chassis. (DS1411017-E6 8010CMHS) 8006 Chassis The 8006 has a six-slot chassis which contains four slots for I/O modules (slots 1-4), and two slots for CPU/SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the CPU/SF modules only. One CPU/SF module is required for operation.
The dual, redundant, load-sharing CPU/SF module capabilities mentioned above are also applicable to the ERS 8006 chassis. The 8006 also supports up to three load-sharing, redundant power supplies. Power requirements are described later in this lesson. The 8006 chassis houses a single fan tray, which provides cooling for all six slots. A high speed fan tray is required when installing R/RS Modules in the chassis. (DS1411018-E6 8006CMHS).

8003R Chassis
8003R Chassis The 8003R is a small chassis for L2-L4 wiring closets. The 8003R optimizes rack space with density and connectivity requirements. The 8003R Chassis consists of a sheet metal enclosure, a backplane, a power backplane, two bays for AC power supplies, and a fan tray for cooling the chassis. It includes two I/O slots that support any two R/RS I/O modules and one slot for the CPU/SF module. Slot 3 is reserved for the 8692SF with the supermez or 8895SF CPU/SF modules. The 8003R chassis support 8005 AC/DC/DI-AC/DI-DC power supplies. The performance and scalability of a fully populated ERS 8003R chassis shall be equivalent to an ERS 8006 or 8010 chassis in which only slots 1, 2 and 5 are populated with the same SF and R/RS modules.
The 8003R chassis is only supported with software 7.0 and above. The 8003R requires a 8692SF with the supermez or the 8895SF. Only R and RS modules are supported. Note

Includes chassis, fan trays, RS232 cable for management console, rack mount kit and cable management. o Requires at least two 8005 power supplies, up to three power supplies supported. o Supports 8600 modules only.

ERS 8010co Cooling Units
ERS 8010co Cooling Units The 8010co chassis provides two fan trays and front to back air flow. Air is pulled through the front of the chassis, across the modules, and out of the rear exhaust plenum.
8010co cooling system

8010co cooling system
Each fan tray contains two high-capacity, multi-speed fans. A control/monitor circuit board in the fan tray reports temperature and fan operating status to the network management software.
Should a single fan fail, the other fan on the tray will increase its speed to accommodate the loss and maintain the air flow. Note: For increased cooling capacity required for R and RS modules, you must install the new high speed cooling module 8006CMHS or 8010CMHS. Cooling management is done by the CPU and will display pertinent warning messages to the console if any low-cooling conditions exist.
Ethernet Routing Switch 8600/8800 Switch Architecture

ERS 8600/8800 Switch Architecture
ERS 8600/8800 Switch Architecture R/RS modules offer both increased port density and increased performance over the older pre-E, E and M-series modules. With R/RS Modules, it is important to understand the concept of standard and high performance slots. For chassis manufactured before August 2006, slots 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are high performance slots and slots 1 and 10 are standard and do not support the full bandwidth required for R/RS Modules. Therefore, to recognize the full bandwidth of R/RS Modules, Avaya recommends installing them in a high performance slot. Chassis manufactured after August 2006 do not have this restriction. All I/O slots are high performance slots. You can identify the High Performance chassis by the revision number in the CLI. The CLI output from the show sys info command displays chassis info. Look for a revision number of 02 or higher in the H/W Config field to indicate the new high performance chassis. Example: chassis info:h/w config:02 The SF switching capability that is 256G per 8895/8692 for a total of 512G. Both switch fabrics are used (active/active) while only one CPU is used.

8010co chassis The ten-slot chassis contains eight slots for I/O modules (slots 14 and slots 7 10) and two slots for CPU/SF modules. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the SF modules only. One CPU/SF module is required for operation. If a second CPU/SF module is installed, it provides fail-over redundancy for the first CPU/SF module. In addition, the SFs on both CPU/SF modules are simultaneously active and therefore share the switching load for all the I/O module ports, increasing core switching capacity and throughput to provide non-blocking capabilities even with 64 Gigabit Ethernet ports installed. The 8010co shelf can support multiple configurations and can provide a redundant architecture in either of two ways: Horizontally Horizontal redundancy provides single shelf redundancy where you have two CPU/Switch Fabric cards operating in an active standby mode. Vertically The redundancy can also be split vertically across two shelves. For CS LAN applications, ERS 8600 typically uses the latter configuration, vertical redundancy.

ERS 8600/8800 CPU/Switch Fabric Modules

ERS 8600/8800 CPU/Switch Fabric Modules
ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 CPU/Switch Fabric Modules The following ERS 8800 and ERS 8600 CPU/SF modules are available for installation in the ERS 8010, 8006 and 8010co chassis: 8895SF - Requires Software Release 7.0 or above. It is it is functionally equivalent to the existing 8692SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module when upgraded with the SuperMezz CPU daughterboard. It is also 33% more energy-efficient, has a 1.5x increase in memory, and a powerful 1.3Ghz processor 8692SF - Requires Software Release 3.7+ and is supported in 8003R chassis with the addition of the supermez daughter card and Release 7.0 and above.
8895SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module
The 8692SF and 8895SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module is a combination processing engine and a high-bandwidth, shared-memory SF. Due to the large form-factor of this board and to facilitate factory upgrades, the board is divided up into two half boards. One half, called the CPU board, contains the CPU and peripheral-related components. The other half, which contains the SF components, is referred to as the SF board. The combination of these two half-boards is referred to as the CPU/SF, and is treated as a single, user-replaceable module. CPU The CPU half of the 8895SF module is a large processing engine. The main responsibility of this processing engine is to keep all L2/L3 route table data up to date. Additionally, the CPU must process all packets that cannot be handled by L2 or L3 due to an unknown route or packet type. If two 8895SF modules are installed, the second CPU can operate in a warm standby fail-over state or High availability mode where the second CPU can take over many mirrored functions. If you install two 8895SF modules in a chassis, both modules must run the same version of software. This is the default configuration; you can enable L2/L3 fail-over by setting a boot flag. This procedure is described later in this lesson. Switch Fabric The SF half of the 8895SF module is a high-bandwidth, shared-memory SF, made up of 10 Megabytes of high-speed memory for packet forwarding (not used for user data storage such
as configuration files). All traffic across all routing switch I/O modules traverses this shared SF. In addition, if two 8895SF modules are installed, all routing switch I/O modules detect the presence of the second SF and re-distribute traffic for half of their ports to it. The two load-sharing SFs dramatically improve maximum performance limits up to 100 million packets per second (pps), with non-blocking performance for 64 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Flash Memory Cards The 8895SF module also supports various sizes of ATA-compliant PCMCIA flash memory cards. This storage can be used to store alternate user configurations as well as other operational run-time software images.
Although other PCMCIA memory cards may physically fit into the PCMCIA slot, they may not be compatible with the 8895SF module. Use only ATA-compliant PCMCIA flash memory cards in the 8895SF PCMCIA card slot.
Alert
Avaya recommends that the PCMCIA card be 128 MB when using Release 5.0 or above LEDs Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are visible to the user on the front of the 8895SF. The LEDs indicate Temperature status, Power Supply status, Fan Module status, CPU Primary/Secondary, and CPU/SF Card online, CPU Utilization, and SF Utilization. ERS 8692SF with SuperMezz Module

8692SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module
8692SF CPU/Switch Fabric Module The 8692SF is comprised of a CPU in the front half and switch fabric (SF) in the back half. The CPU is similar to the 8691SF CPU. There is a 333-MHz processor on the motherboard. Component changes include: 256 MB SDRAM (compared to 128 MB on 8691SF) for larger table sizes and support of advanced configurations in upcoming releases 64 MB Flash Memory (compared 32 MB) for storage of upcoming (larger) image sizes and configurations Flash is partitioned into two volumes, Flash/1 and Flash/2.

8692SF Switch Fabric Detail
8692SF Switch Fabric Detail The 8692SF is comprised of four Fast Fabric Access Devices (FFADs) and one Fast Switch Processor (FSWIP). The FSWIP supports 256 Gbps full duplex per fabric, 512 Gbps per system, and 1 terabit per second (Tbps) in a dual-homed core (two ERS 8600 switches). 380 Mpps (million packets per second) A FFAD supports a 4x increase in HyperPHY links on the backplane as compared to the 8691 switch fabric. 2.488 Ghz operation (compared to 622 Mhz) 19.9 Gbps (full duplex raw per fabric per Fast TAP) Roughly 16 Gbps data per fabric per Fast TAP (FTAP)

8692SF Operation Specifics
8692SF Operation Specifics In Release 5.0 the 8692SF is required for use with ERS R and RS Modules. ERS 7.0 and above requires the supermez card for 8692SF operations. 30-port 1000 BASE-X (Small Form factor Pluggable [SFP] GBICs) 3-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (LAN and WAN) 48-port 10/100/1000 (8-pin modular jack)
The 8692 is interoperable with all ERS Release 3.x models. 19.9 Gbps HyperPHY is operable only with FFAD-FTAP interface. FFAD-TAP interface operates at 622 MHz and yields existing 4.98 Gbps Full duplex raw per fabric per TAP.

The Power Supplies can be mixed and matched with all the various models of Power Supplies. If any Power Supply is connected to a 110V input, all other PSUs power production will be downgraded to low line production numbers. The CLI will display the actual input line voltage that PSU is connected to. It will also show the actual wattage available for the chassis.

Input Power Requirements for Modules
ERS 8600/8800 Chassis Power Requirements When configuring an ERS 8600/8800 system, you must consider total power consumption to ensure proper system performance. R-Modules and RS-Modules require more power and may not operate in an existing chassis configuration. The 8005AC/DC supply is available for increased power requirements.

The total input power consumption of the components (modules and fan trays) must not exceed the output power rating sum of the power supplies. Add the total power, 3.3 V and 12 V requirements of all components installed in the chassis. Identify the Power supply requirements for a non-redundant operation. Identify the Power supply requirements for N+1 redundancy. To determine the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration, use the Power Supply Calculator for ERS 8600/8800, NN48500-519. This tool is available on the Avaya Technical Support Web site at www.avaya.com.

ERS 8600 Power Management Feature
ERS 8600/8800 Power Management Feature The ERS 8600/8800 will monitor the power consumption of the hardware in the chassis. You can also view the power utilized and required by each chassis component using the CLI. You have the option to prioritize which slots are to receive power in the even of a power shortage.
The power budget will be done based on the two required voltages 3.3V and 12V. As part of this feature, the power budget will be calculated for each module type. Bringing up the card during power up will be done based on the priority assigned to the slot in which the card is inserted. 8600:5/config/sys/set/power# info 8600:5/show/sys/power# power-supply-info 8600:5/show/sys/power# slot-info 8600:5/show/sys/power# info In the ACLI ERS-3:5# show sys power ? global Displays power info power-supply Displays detailed power supply info slot Displays power information per slot basis

Power supplies
Power supplies Each ERS 8600/8800 chassis provides redundant power options, depending on the chassis and the number of modules installed. A single 8004 power supply can support up to five modules in both the ERS 8006 (six-slot) and 8010 (ten-slot) chassis. Do not mix power supplies in the same chassis. The 8006 and 8010 chassis support up to three power supplies. You must install at least one power supply per chassis. To support a full configuration of RS modules, an 8004 or 8005 power supply is required. ERS 8600 Release 5.0 introduced the dual-input 8005DI AC power supply. You can use this dual-input supply with two other single-phase AC sources of different phase. To share the two phases with the dual input supply, connect AC source Phase 1 to input 1 on the dual-input supply, and connect AC source Phase 2 to input 2 on the dual-input supply.

SPBm
SPBm
Shortest Path Bridging (MacInMac) Rls 7.1 of the 8800 Software brings with it the the capability to use SPBm to the chassis. SPBm simplifies Network Virtualisation, and Rapid Deployment of services. It will be discussed in greater detail on the advanced course. In this section, the following Acronyms may be used
SPB: Shortest Path Bridging SPBm: Shortest Path Bridging - MacInMac AS: Autonomous System B-MAC: Backbone MAC B-VID: Backbone VLAN identifier ISID: SPBm Service ID ECT: Equal Cost Tree (SPBm) IS-IS: Intermediate system to intermediate system Routing Protocol BEB: Backbone Edge Bridge (Edge node in a SPB network) MPLS: Multi Protocol Label Switching DCB: Data Center Bridging NIC: Network Interface Card
802.1D (2004) - MAC Bridges 802.1p - Traffic Class Expediting and Dynamic Multicast Filtering (published in 802.1D-1998) 802.1Q - Virtual LANs 802.1s - Multiple Spanning Trees 802.1w - Rapid Reconfiguration of Spanning Tree 802.1ag - Connectivity Fault Management 802.1ah - Provider Backbone Bridges 802.1aq - Shortest Path Bridging
The key value propositions for SPBm include: Standards-based o IEEE 802.1aq standard no lock in technology Resiliency o Single robust protocol with sub-second failover o Optimal network bandwidth utilization Simplicity o One protocol for all network services o Plug & Play deployment reduces time to service Scalability o Evolved from Carrier with Enterprise-friendly features o Separates infrastructure from connectivity services Flexibility o No constraints on network topology o Easy to implement virtualization

The evolution of Ethernet technologies continues with the IEEE 802.1aq standard of Shortest Path Bridging. This next generation virtualization technology will revolutionize the design, deployment and operations of the Enterprise Campus core networks along with the Enterprise Data Center. The benefits of the technology will be clearly evident in its ability to provide massive scalability while at the same time reducing the complexity of the network. This will make network virtualization a much easier paradigm to deploy within the Enterprise environment. Shortest Path Bridging eliminates the need for multiple protocols in the core of the network by separating the connectivity services from the protocol infrastructure. By reducing the core to a single protocol, the idea of build it once and dont have to touch it again becomes a true reality. This simplicity also aides in greatly reducing time to service for new applications and network functionality.
A recognition of the existing limitations for network virtualization led to the development of a new link-stated based technology known as Provider Link State Bridging (PLSB). Based on IS-IS 2008 and a natural evolution of PBB/PBT, PLSB addressed the growing needs in regard to network virtualization. This technology was introduced into the IEEE standards body and now known as 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging MacInMac (SPBm). SPBm is based on the 802.1ah encapsulation schema that does not depend on spanning tree to provide a loop free Layer 2 domain, but instead uses the nodal based IS-IS topology protocol. The IEEE is reworking the spanning tree specifications 802.1D to include the new SPB solution. The intention is that once the standard is implemented in network products, the network operator will be able to choose a shortest path bridging topology protocol or the legacy root tree based option. One of the key advantages of the SPBm protocol is the fact that network virtualization provisioning is achieved by ONLY configuring the edge of the network (service access points), thus the intrusive core provisioning that other Layer 2 virtualization technologies require (including 802.1Q VLAN tagging) is not needed when new connectivity services are added to an SPBm network. For example, when new virtual server instances are created and need their own VLAN instance, they are provisioned at the network edge only and dont need to be configured throughout the rest of the network infrastructure. SPBm simplifies network operation by removing a set of overlay protocols and collapsing them into one link state based protocol: IS-IS. At the same time, it achieves true separation between infrastructure and service layer by leveraging the service ID concept (ISID). With the inclusion of IP/SPB into the SPBm protocol simplified provisioning and operation for Layer 2 and Layer 2 Unicast and Multicast virtualization is achieved. Due to the service separation by ISID, there is no dependency of SPBm virtualized services among themselves occurring. Compared to the traditional model true OPEX savings can be expected due to the protocol simplification.

Login Using the EDM and CLI Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) login is similar for each of the management tools. For detailed information about any user interface, refer to NN46205-308 Ethernet Routing Switch 8600/8800 User Interface Fundamentals or NN46200-103 Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 User Interface Fundamentals. To login using the CLI, enter the User Name and Password. The Web server is enabled by default. If you assign an IP address to the switch, you can access the Web server to start EDM. Enterprise Device Manager Enterprise Device Manager (EDM) replaces both the Java-based Device Manager and Web-based management interfaces. EDM is an embedded element management and configuration application for Ethernet Routing Switches that uses a Web-based graphical user interface and retains the look and feel of Device Manager. The EDM Web application is available when you access the switch IP address using one of the approved Web browsers. You can use EDM element management to set up, stage, and configure switches and monitor device statistics. To use EDM you require only an internet browser.
CLI
Out-of-band management Ethernet port
Out-of-band management Ethernet port
Connecting using CLI with Telnet The CLI can be accessed through a Telnet session. To access the CLI remotely, the switch must have an assigned IP address and remote access must be enabled. Telnet is enabled by default. Telnet Access IP Address Telnet must be enabled - Default Occasionally you may need to press Control-Y several times to wake up the connection.
Multiple users can access the CLI or ACLI system simultaneously through the serial port, Telnet, and modems. The maximum number of simultaneous users is four plus, one each at the serial port for a total of 6 users on the chassis. All users can configure simultaneously.
Note

Command Line Interface (CLI)
Command Line Interface You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) or ACLI to configure IP routing protocols in the ERS 8600/8800 and ERS 8300. CLI and ACLI There are two modes of operation: Mode: CLI (Passport CLI) Mode: ACLI (Avaya Standard CLI) Either the ACLI or the CLI is accessible at runtime. You cannot use both the CLI and ACLI commands in the same session. If a switch is operating in ACLI mode, it does not recognize a CLI configuration file and therefore cannot load it. Similarly, a switch operating in CLI mode does not recognize an ACLI configuration file and cannot load it. When you first power up the ERS 8600/8800, the default interface is the CLI. To switch from the CLI to the ACLI, you must change the ACLI boot flag and save the boot configuration file. You use a boot monitor flag to toggle between the existing CLI and ACLI. You must reboot the switch for the change to take effect (if configured from runtime). Also, to retain the configuration, you must save the running configuration in the new mode before you toggle the flag. The CLI and ACLI config files must have unique file names when you save them. If the file names are not unique, the configuration file is overwritten in either CLI format or ACLI format, depending on the choice you made. When you boot dual SF/CPU switches, always boot the secondary SF/CPU before you boot the primary SF/CPU. Avaya recommends that you reset and hold the secondary SF/CPU at the monitor prompt, and then boot the primary SF/CPU. After the primary SF/CPU boots, boot the secondary SF/CPU from the monitor prompt.
Commands in the ACLI include: Type ? or help to obtain command help. To make a feature/parameter false, use no in the syntax. o For example, no vlan members 1 1/20,1/30 portmember You can use the CLI to configure IP routing protocols in the ERS 8600 and ERS 8300.
At his stage most software releases ACLI is referred to as NNCLI. This was renamed to ACLI in the 7.1 release. Note
CLI Command Tree Structure The CLI for the Boot Monitor and Run-time is organized into a tree data structure. Major commands like config and show are at the top of the tree, with their subcommands below. By typing a partial command, you enter a context (essentially, a prefix). Subsequent commands require only the specifics; the system appends the current context to the data you type. It is conceptually similar to the tree-structured directory systems familiar to UNIX and MS/DOS users.
When you type an incomplete command, you see the commands context and sub-context. For example: ERS-8600/config/ip# vlan 1 info Sub-Context: arp dhcp-relay dvmrp forwarding ipflow l3igmp mroute ospf policy rip route route-discovery static-route traffic-filter udpfwd Current Context: action : N/A add-mlt : agetime : 0 delete : N/A qoslevel : 3 ds-field : 1 name : Default CLI Command Styles ERS 8600/8800/8300 When you are within a given branch of the tree, you need to type only the subcommand for that level (see above). This feature enables you to create, delete, or change all relevant parameters for a port without re-entering a complete command. To avoid typing a complete command, you can enter a shortened version, such as dis for disable or en for enable; the CLI only requires enough characters to uniquely distinguish a command from others that start with the same character string. You can also type part of a command and then press Tab to have the system complete the command. If the letters you typed are unique to a command, the command is completed automatically. If not, nothing will happen, indicating that more information is necessary.

Navigating the CLI
Navigating the CLI Boot monitor flag for CLI operation mode Config bootconfig flags acli falsetrue Option to save config in CLI or ACLI mode By default - config is saved in running operation mode option provided to save config in any mode
Save command: save config [file <value>] [verbose] [standby <value>] [backup <value>] [mode <cli/ACLI>]
Show command: show config [verbose] [module <value>] [mode cli|acli]

Getting Help with the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI
Getting Help with the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI When you navigate through the Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI, online help is available at all levels. From any level of the tree, help is accessed four ways: Typing a question mark (?) at the prompt results in a list of all commands. Typing the word help at the prompt provides an explanation of the available help. Typing help <command> explains what the command does and gives its syntax. Typing <command> syntax displays a list of commands and parameters available for that command.
ERS-8600# help commands ERS cli commands Attribute modify MS-DOS file attributes Back back up one level Boot boot the system with an image and config file or from choices box go to top or box level cd change current filesystem directory path clear clear configuration commands config configuration commands copy copy <src> file to <dest> file cp copy files, <dest> can be directory directory list files in a directory dos-chkdsk check MS-DOS filesystem for inconsistencies dos-format initialize device with MS-DOS filesystem dump dump commands edit simple vi line editor to modify script files exit logout of system remove remove file or directory, with wildcard pattern rename move or rename file or directory, with wildcard pattern reset reset switch rlogin rlogin to a remote host rm remove file or directory, with wildcard pattern rsh execute a shell command on a remote machine save save running configuration to a file show commands to display the running configuration source merge a script file into running configuration telnet telnet to a remote host test test the switch top go to top or box level trace trace file configuration commands traceroute trace route to a remote host back up one level

Additional CLI help commands
Additional CLI help commands In addition to the Help commands common to the Boot Monitor, the CLI has additional help commands. Typing help describes help features. Typing help commands provides a list of commands you can enter from the current prompt. Typing help ttychars provides a list of special terminal editing characters. Typing syntax displays a path list of commands and parameters available from the current prompt or <command> forward. Typing help <command> or <command> help describes a specific command or provides a list of sub-commands you can enter from within <command>. Typing ? displays the sub and current context commands available from the current prompt. Typing <command> ? displays the sub and current context commands available from the current prompt if the command is an intermediate node in the command tree structure, otherwise, displays parameter help for the command. Typing <command?> displays a list of commands that match the characters entered.

Repeating commands
Repeating commands - History command syntax The Boot Monitor and Run-time CLI history commands let you list the commands you have entered during the current session and re-enter those commands without having to re-type the entire string. The history commands include the options listed below.
History !! !<number> !<str> !?<substr> ^<sstr>^<rstr> Lists the commands you have entered during the current CLI session Reenters the most recently entered command Enters the command identified in the command history by the variable <number> Runs the last command that matches the given string <str> Runs the last command that matches the given substring <substr> Enters the most recent command but substitutes a new string for a given string

Assigning the initial IP address
When you enter the CLI, the system name is the displayed prompt. For example, the runtime CLI prompt is displayed below: ERS-8600:5# The Boot Monitor CLI prompt is: monitor# Assigning the initial IP address for In-Band management Specifying IP addresses and subnet masks An IP address with a subnet mask can be specified in two forms using dotted decimal notation: <N> <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>/<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy> or <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>/ <N> where: <xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx>.<xxx> is the IP address in dotted-decimal notation. <yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy>.<yyy> is the subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation. <N> is the number of subnet mask bits. The following examples refer to the same IP address and subnet mask pair: 10.10.10.1/24 is the same as 10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0 Assigning or Changing an IP Address The procedure for assigning an IP address to a port or VLAN is not a single-step process. First enter the port or VLAN interface level, and then assign the IP address to the port or VLAN with : 1 (config-if)# ethernet <port> ip create <ipaddr/mask> <vid> (ERS 8600) 2 (config-if)# ip address <address> <subnet mask> ie 1(config)# int gig 4/10 ie 1(config-if)#brouter port 4/10 vlan 456 sub 172.16.50.1/24 ie 2(config) # interface vlan 10 ie 2(config-if)# ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0 To change an IP address, first enter the interface and delete the current IP address: 1 (config-if)#no brouter or
2 (config-if)#no ip addr 172.16.10.1 Then, reassign the IP address as shown above.
Note
When an IP address is assigned to a port or VLAN, local routing is enabled unless IP forwarding is disabled (config ip forwarding disable). On an ERS 8600, a brouter port is created when you assign an IP address to a physical port.
Enterprise Device Manager

EDM overview
Enterprise Device Manager Overview Enterprise Device Manager is a light-weight web-based embedded element management tool to support configuration management for all ERS devices including ERS8600 v7.0. This feature will provide the basic but complete configuration management functionalities for the ERS 8600/8800 devices. This system will provide common look and feel (L&F) with same or similar workflow for the supported devices. This tool essentially represents the browser version of the existing JDM tool and uses http protocol to communicate with the device. EDM will support the configuration of any modules supported in the ERS 8600/8800 v7.0 release or later. Legacy modules will display as unsupported. A maximum of 5 simultaneous EDM sessions is recommended for optimum performance. This is to avoid the device from spending unnecessary processing power in serving the EDM web-sessions. It is recommended to use as few sessions as possible at any given time. To make use of the Web-based EDM Management Interface, the computer to be used must have one of the following Web browsers installed: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 FireFox 3.0 EDM screen capture

Launching EDM
Launching the Enterprise Device Manager EDM is accessed by typing the management ip address in the address URL bar of the browser: http://devicemanagerIPaddress To login to a switch using EDM, the user must use the web User Name, Password and VRF Name assigned to them. The administrator may initially login to EDM via web-browser using the following default rls 7.0 parameters: Username: ro Password: ro VRF Name: GlobalRouter In rls 7.1 the defaults become: Username: admin Password: password
The web server must be enabled by typing config# web-server enable via CLI or ACLI for the EDM to be accessible. In rls 7.1 if it is to be enabled in http mode then the additional command config# no web-server secure-only. must be added to enable http use. if it is not used then only the https version will be available. As well as this the security certificates of https must be trusted into the client.

Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 System Architecture

Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 System Architecture
Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 System Architecture Interface Modules installed in the ERS 8300 Chassis establish connections through the Backplane to either or both Switch Fabric Modules, depending upon the type of Interface Module and whether one or two SFs Modules are installed.
8300 Modules can be installed in existing 8000 chassis, but these chassis (8010, 8006, and 8003), cannot supply in-line power to the 8348TX-PWR/8348GTX-PWR Modules. PoE is not supported in this configuration.
Note
If you are installing ERS 8300 modules in the 8010 or 8006 Chassis, you must upgrade the media access control (MAC) addresses on your chassis to a total of 4096 MAC addresses. Note ERS 8600/8800 modules do not work in the 8310 and 8306 chassis. Note The 8300 and 8600/8800 modules are not supported in the same chassis. Note Dual 839xSF Modules are not supported in the 8000 Series Chassis. This configuration is only supported in the 8300 Series Chassis. Note
Chassis Module relationships

ERS 8300 Module Port Densities
Input/output modules - High Port Density ERS 8300 input/output (I/O) modules provide support for a variety of technologies, interfaces, and feature sets. As of Release 4.1, the ERS 8300 supports the following interface options: 8308XL 8 port 10GBASE-X XFP Ethernet Interface Module (with XFP slots) - delivering a maximum density of 64 ports (68 when factoring in those also available on the 8394SF) 8348GB - 48 port 1000BASE-X SFP Ethernet Interface Module (with SFP slots) delivering a maximum density of 384 ports (400 when factoring in those also available on the 8393SF) 8348GTX48 port 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T, autonegotiating 8348GTX-PWR 48-port 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet Interface Module delivering a maximum density of 384 ports; available with PoE 8348TX48 port 10/100 Mbps, autonegotiating 8348TX-PWR 48-port 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Interface Module delivering a maximum density of 384 ports; available with PoE 8324GTX 24 ports 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Interface Module delivering a maximum density of 192 ports 8324FX 24-port 100 Base-FX Ethernet Interface Module (using MT-RJ connectors) delivering a maximum density of 192 ports 8393SF 8-ports of 1000 Base-X (SFP) available on the 8393SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module 8394SF 2-ports of 10 Gigabit Base-X (XFP) available on the 8394SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module Resiliency and Redundancy High Availability/ Redundancy Dual active Switch Fabric/CPU Module support provides sub-minute fail-over recovery in the event of a CPU failure. The uplink ports integrated with Switch Fabric have redundancy when using two SF/CPU Modules and Distributed Link Aggregation. Backward Compatibility All ERS 8300 Modules can operate together in the same 6- or 10-slot 8300 Series Chassis using the currently available Power Supplies. There is also a high degree of compatibility with previous 8100 or 8600 installations; however neither of these products provides a Power over Ethernet power bus. Use of these chassis should be limited to deployments that do not have (or do not plan to have) a Power-over-Ethernet requirement.

Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 I/O Modules
8393SF Switch Fabric Module The 8393SF Switch Fabric/CPU Module is optimized for high-performance switching of Layer 2/3/4 traffic. Two Switch Fabric modules installed in the Chassis provide redundant, load-sharing capabilities. The 8393SF has a Switch Fabric that allows for up to 416 Gbps switching capacity, with two SFs installed, and includes eight integrated, Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver ports. These SFP ports provide slot-saving connectivity to other network devices. Both Copper and Fiber transceivers can be used. These interfaces operate at 1 Gigabit full-duplex only. Auto MDI/MDIX is supported when using copper SFP transceivers and allows the PHY to automatically determine whether or not it needs to cross over between the pairs so that an external crossover pair is not required. When two 8393SF modules are installed in a chassis, all 16 SFP ports are active. 8393SF Switch FabricCPU Module
Switch Fabric/CPU Modules The switch fabric/CPU (SF/CPU) module performs intelligent switching and routing. Every chassis must have at least one SF/CPU. ERS 8300 supports the 8393SF and 8394SF SF/CPU modules in the 8306, 8310, 8006, and 8010 chassis.You can install two SF/CPU modules in slots 5 and 6 of each 8306, 8310, 8010, and 8006 chassis, to enable redundant operation. The redundant module in slot 6 can assume the processing duties of a failing primary module in slot 5. ERS 8300 does not support mixing CPU modules in a chassis. For more information see NN46200-200 Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 Planning and Engineering Network Design.

Memory upgrade for the 8393SF/CPU
Main CPU
The 8393SF Module includes the main CPU. It is responsible for maintaining all the databases for the switch (such as Layer2/Layer3 forwarding, filtering, and interface configuration). The packet forwarding information is passed on to the I/O modules Forwarding Path Inspection (FPI) units to create a distributed switching architecture. The CPU also generates all packets that originate from the switch. These packets support management protocols like SNMP and Telnet, and also control protocols packets like BPDUs for Spanning Tree. Memory upgrade for the 8393SF/CPU ERS 8300 Release 4.1 requires 256 MB of memory to support some of the scaled environments. An upgrade from 128 MB of memory is available for the 8393SF/CPU to provide the same memory as the 8394SF/CPU. A new version of the 8393SF/CPU with 256 MB of memory is available.

8393SF Architecture
8393SF Architecture The Switch Fabric module includes the following elements: Crossbar Switch Fabric - The Switch Fabric is made up of DRAM and is used to buffer switch traffic as it passes from one I/O module to another. QFI ASIC (Quad Fabric Interface) - The Quad Fabric Interface (QFI) ASIC is the interface that each I/O module has with the Switch Fabric. It controls traffic flow and queuing in and out of the switch fabric. FPI and Packet Buffer (Fast Packet Inspection Unit) - The Fast Packet Inspection (FPI) unit makes the packet forwarding decisions. Destination ports are determined and filters are applied here. The FPI unit interfaces to the ports through the Quad serializers/ deserializers (SERDES) that modify the serial stream of data used outside the switch to a parallel path for switch operations. CPU The CPU controls switch operations and generates packets for all protocols supported by the switch. The CPU interfaces to external entities for switch administration and network management. The CPU loads the boot image upon power-up from NVRAM and then the run-time image. It uses SDRAM for maintaining data structures for switch operations and the main Address Table for learned and configured information. The CPU also interfaces with Flash and the PCMCIA for file storage. The CPU interfaces with the user through the front panel ports. Chassis Area Network Controller The CPU controls the I/O modules using the chassis area network controller. Module image load, Address Table updates, and other CPU to I/O module communication occur here. The SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports provide physical interfaces.

8348TX 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Interface Module The 8348TX module provides 48 auto-sensing, 10/100Mbps ports for desktop connectivity using RJ-45 connectors. It is optimized for high-density wiring closet solutions where Gigabit connectivity is not required. The 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX ports are auto-sensing for connection to hubs and support auto-negotiation for connection to other devices supporting 802.1. Auto MDI/MDIX is supported and allows the PHY to automatically determine whether or not it needs to cross over between the pairs so that an external crossover pair is not required. The 8348TX-PWR Module (detailed later) is available for PoE applications and it is, in all other respects, functionally equivalent to the standard 8348TX.

Off Normal no faults detected Right port LED Receive (RX) RX Green/Steady - The port is connected, but there is no traffic. Green/Blinking - Data is passing through the port. Off indicates the port is not enabled. Module Online LED Green indicates that the module is operational. Amber indicates the module has power but is not operational. The LED is off when no power is available. 8348TX 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Module

8348TX Architecture
8348TX Architecture The 8348TX Ethernet Interface Module includes the following elements: QFI ASIC (Quad Fabric Interface) The QFI ASIC is the interface that each I/O module uses to interface with the switch fabric. It controls traffic flow and queuing in and out of the switch fabric. FPI and Packet Buffer (Fast Packet Inspection Unit) The FPI unit makes the packet forwarding decisions. Destination ports are determined and filters are applied here. The FPI gets the packets to and from the ports through the 10/100 OCT PHY and Quad Magnetics (MAG). They modify the serial stream of data used outside the switch to a parallel path for switch operations. Notice that each Quad MAG controls 8 physical front panel ports. Co-Processor The Module has a Co-Processor that handles the management functions. It communicates to the main CPU on the 839xSF using the Chassis Area Network (CAN). 8384TX Architecture

8348TX-PWR 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet Module
8348TX-PWR 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet Module The 8348TX-PWR 48-port Module provides inline power to any IEEE 802.3af compliant devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, net cameras, security, lighting devices, and access control devices. Standards-based equipment means that you are not tied to one vendor: the Switch has the flexibility to power multiple vendors 802.3af devices. It can supply power up to 15.4 watts per port, which meets the standard and is sufficient to power most devices. Auto MDI/MDIX is supported and allows the PHY to automatically determine whether or not it needs to cross over between the pairs so that an external crossover pair is not required.

Module LEDs
Module LEDs The module includes the following LEDs: Left Port LED 10/100 speed LED is ON for 100 Mbps. Right port Link/Activity LED is ON to indicate a link has been established and flashes for traffic in/out of the port. Module Online LED Green indicates that the module is operational. Amber indicates the module has power yet is not operational. The LED is off when no power is available. PSE Power Source Equipment LED Green indicates 48V is present. Steady Amber indicates 48V failure and that PoE is disabled. The LED is off when 48V is not available or when module is booting. 8348TX-PWR 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet Module
PoE Power and Control Power over Ethernet is supported on the module using the 48Vdc from the 830xAC through the Backplane. Control circuitry determines the PoE port configuration. Power is managed so as not to exceed the module limits and configured limits set by the administrator.

I/O Module and Switch Fabric Connection Specifics
Single Switch Fabric Module When a single Switch Fabric Module is installed in either slot 5 or 6 of the chassis, all I/O modules connect to that single SF Module for switching. Redundant Switch Fabric Modules When two SF Modules are installed in both slots 5 and 6, redundancy is provided and the connection rules below apply. Those Interface Modules with a single connect QFI connect to one of the SF Modules. Use of a particular Switch Fabric is based on the Slot in the Chassis. Modules in Slots 1, 3, 7, and 9 connect to the Switch Fabric in Slot 5; Modules in Slots 2, 4, 8, and 10 connect to the Switch Fabric in slot 6. Interface Modules with a single QFI (or Fabric Adapter) are: 8348TX, 8348TX-PWR, 8324FX, 8348GTX, and 8348GTX-PWR. Those Interface Modules with dual QFI connections connect to both of the SF Modules. Typical the left-hand half of the PHY ports connect to the SF in Slot 5, and the right-hand half of the PHY ports connect to the other SF in Slot 6. Interface Modules with a dual QFI (or Fabric Adapters) are: 8324GTX, 8348GB, and 8308XL.

8005DC power supply The 8005 DC power supply provides 1462 watts of power to the switch. You can use this power supply separately or in a redundant configuration.

8302AC Power Allocation
8302AC Power Allocation The 8302AC provides adequate power for all modules installed in the chassis and a limited amount of power for PoE devices. A standard 15 amp plug and circuit is required for the input circuit. These are ideal for installations that do not have many PoE devices. 8302AC power allocation
PoE Power Supply Management ERS 8300 PoE power allocation is based on the number of installed ERS 8301AC or 8302AC power supplies. PoE oversubscription is handled according to three priorities on each I/O module. A hierarchical approach is implemented where each port can be assigned to one of three different power priority levels to determine the criticality of supplying power to the port. When power drawn by a module exceeds the limit, the lower priority ports PoE is disabled to protect the power of the higher priority ports. For each PoE module, a trap is sent to the management station when the overall power consumption reaches 80% or above of the overall available PoE power. For PoE concepts and configuration, see ERS 8300 Configuration Power over Ethernet, NN46200-512.

8302AC Power Specification
8302AC Power Specification The ERS 8300 provides a lower wattage alternative, the 8302AC power supply, with the specification listed in the following table. ERS 8302AC Power Specifications

8301AC Power Allocation
Power allocation overview PoE power allocation is based on the number and type of PoE Power Supplies installed in the chassis. o One 8301AC (20 amp) 110V input provides 450 W PoE of power. o One 8302AC (15 amp) 110V input provides 225 W PoE of power. o One 8301AC (20 amp) 220V input provides 900 W PoE of power. o One 8302AC (15 amp) 220V input provides 450 W PoE of power Add additional supplies to increase the chassis capability o For redundancy (add one) o To double the PoE available power (add two) All power supplies in the chassis must be of the same type
If you are installing a redundant power supply, power available for PoE is always determined based on N+1 redundancy. If two power supplies are installed in the chassis, PoE power allocation is equivalent to one power supply. If three power supplies are installed in the chassis, PoE power allocation is equivalent to two power supplies. 8301AC Power Allocation The 8301AC is the larger power supply. It requires a 20 amp input circuit and plug. The maximum chassis power can be achieved by installing three 8301AC power supplies. 8301AC power allocation

Determining the number of power supplies
Determining the number of power supplies ERS 8306 and 8310 chassis, the number of power supplies that you must install 1, 2, or 3 depends on the following parameters: Number of modules you install in the chassis Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements Requirement for an optional redundant power supply Avaya recommends that you operate the ERS 8300 in a redundant configuration at all times to ensure maximum network uptime. If a power supply fails after you install a redundant power supply, the ERS 8300 continues to operate with no service interruption. The chassis will continue to supply the same module and PoE output power with the remaining power supplies. A trap and syslog message indicates that the configuration is nonredundant. Avaya recommends that you install each power supply on its own dedicated branch circuit. When you plug the power cord for each power supply into a separate AC circuit, the redundant power supply also provides protection against the disconnection or failure of an individual branch circuit or power supply failure. To determine the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration, use the Avaya Power Supply Calculator Tool which will be discussed more later in this lesson.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs that delivers the electrical current to power a device over the Ethernet cable rather than the power cord. This minimizes the number of wires that you must install to power the network. The result is lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance, and greater installation flexibility than with traditional wiring. The use of PoE has become increasingly popular over the past few years and has been standardized by the IEEE as 802.3af. Many end devices, such as wireless access points, security cameras, and security card readers now support PoE; however, the largest market driver for PoE today is IP Telephony. The ability to centrally power IP phones from the Ethernet switch has made PoE ubiquitous in IP Telephony environments. There are two components to PoE: Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), which is normally the Ethernet switch providing the PoE Powered Device (PD) which is the end device using the power The Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) will not send power out of the Ethernet switch port until it is able to verify that the end station is PoE-capable. IEEE 802.3af standard specifies a resistive discovery mechanism for the PSE to perform this function. This resistive method sends out two low voltage electrical pulses. Once the PSE has successfully discovered the PD, it begins providing power. All Avaya PoE switches support both resistive and capacitive detection mechanisms. IEEE 802.3af standard specifies a maximum of 15.4 watts per device depending on power classification, with many devices using only 4 to 8 watts. Power over Ethernet (PoE) and the ERS 8300 ERS 8306 and 8310 Chassis both include a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Backplane Bus that supports IEEE 802.3af specification for PoE. You must evaluate the power requirements for PoE Modules installed in the chassis to ensure that enough power is available for PoE and all chassis components. Power available for PoE is always determined based on an N+1 redundancy. If you have one or two power supplies in the chassis, you are allocated PoE power equivalent to one power supply. If you have three power supplies in the chassis, you are allocated PoE power equivalent to two power supplies. You cannot mix power supply types in a single chassis. The Power Supply has auto sensing circuitry on the input so that it will automatically operate with voltage ranges 100-120VAC and 200-240VAC. The higher voltage range provides additional power capability to the supply and the switch chassis. ERS 8300 power system is capable of supplying the following PoE power maximums: Up to 800 W PoE power per line card may be assigned o 25W is used for on-board PoE circuitry A maximum of 16 W can be allocated per port
Up to 1800 W PoE power per chassis maximum o 200 W maximum for on-board circuitry up to 8 modules The PoE feature requires the following components: Ethernet Routing Switch 8306 or 8310 chassis with PoE backplane Ethernet Routing Switch 8301 or 8302 power supply Ethernet Routing Switch 8393SF/CPU module ERS 8348TX-PWR or 8348GTX-PWR Module ERS 8300 software that includes a PoE Power Manager (PPM)
ERS 8300 can provide 200 watts of PoE power on the 8348TX or 8348GTX modules and support up to 48 PoE ports on the 8348TX-PWR or 8348GTX-PWR modules. 8348TX-PWR and 8348GTX-PWR modules support an average of 4 watts over all 48 10/100 and 10/100/1000 802.3af ports. You can directly plug the data cable from PoE-enabled access points (APs) in to the ERS 8300. If Power over Ethernet modules are installed in a non-PoE chassis (8006 or 8010 chassis), no PoE will be supplied to the I/O modules.

8005DI DC dual input DC-DC switching power supply (new in 4.1)
8005DI DC dual input DC-DC switching power supply (new in 4.1) The 8005DI DC dual input DC-DC is a dual input DC-DC switching power supply. This power supply provides two main outputs (3.38 VDC and 12 VDC) and a separate fan output (12 VDC) with a total maximum power rating of 1462 W. You can use this power supply separately, in parallel, or in a redundant configuration. 8005DI DC dual input DC-DC switching power supply The 8005DI DC dual input DC-DC is a dual input DC-DC switching power supply.

ERS 8600/8800 Power-On Sequence

ERS 8600/8800 Power-On Sequence
ERS 8600/8800 Power-On Sequence ERS 8600/8800 goes through a five-stage boot sequence before it becomes fully operational. When you turn on power to the switch, the switch management module 8690, 8691SF, 8692SF or 8895SF starts its built-in boot loader. When you have redundant switch management modules installed (869xSF/8895SF), the module in slot 5 becomes the Master by default activating its CPU to control the overall operation of the switch. The designated slot for the master is configurable using the command master <cpu-slot>
The boot sequence consists of the following file loads: Stage 1: Boot monitor image load Stage 2: Boot configuration load Stage 3: Run-time image load Stage 4: I/O module initialization and image load Stage 5: Switch configuration load

ERS 8300 Power-On Sequence
At the time of Power-On or Cold Start, the Ethernet Routing Switch follows a sequence to become operational. The Power-On Flow below summarizes the major steps of this sequence.
Power-On/Cold Start The switch starts from the beginning of the process when power is applied or when the switch resets. System Test The 8393SF module CPU and its components are tested. The pre-boot image is loaded to accomplish this function. Load Boot Monitor The Boot monitor is stored in NVRAM on the 8393SF module. Load Boot Configuration The boot monitor loads the associated configuration file containing parameters that dictate the switch environment. Autoboot Enable? If Autoboot is not enabled, the CPU stops at the Boot monitor, which is reflected by the console prompt monitor#.
Press Return key? You can interrupt the boot process by pressing the return key. monitor# At the boot monitor prompt you can perform a number of operations including copying files, upgrading the images, and changing flags, which change the switchs operational environment. Reset or Boot? From the boot monitor, enter reset to exit or boot to continue. You can specify a particular image file to boot using the boot command. Search for Image The system goes through the primary, secondary, and tertiary search strings looking for a valid image. As the system administrator, you specify the files names that you want the switch to load. Image Found? If an image is not found, then the system cycles back through system tests. Load Image The CPU loads the image. Initialize Modules Each module in the 8300 loads an image from flash that must match the image version of the main CPU. Module tests are performed at this time. ACLI Enable? The 8300 determines which mode to operate in based on a boot flag, ACLI. If enabled, the configuration file and CLI use the Avaya CLI. If not enabled, the Ethernet Routing Switch CLI is used. Load Runtime Configuration CLI The configuration file is loaded as a script of CLI commands that define the switch operation parameters. Load Runtime Configuration ACLI The configuration file is loaded as a script of Ethernet Routing Switch CLI commands that define the switch operation parameters. Switch Operational The switch becomes operational and the CPU starts generating packets to support any protocols configured on the switch.

Successful installation verification
Successful installation verification In a normal power-up sequence, the LEDs light as follows: After you apply power to the switch, the green LED on each power supply and fan tray lights, and the Online LED for each module lights amber. Each module initiates a self-test, during which the port and module LEDs display various patterns to indicate the progress of the self-test. Upon successful completion of the self-test (within 2 or 3 minutes after you apply power for a fully-loaded chassis), the module Online LED transitions from amber to green. After 1 minute of operation, the fan tray Pass LED lights steady green.
If the LEDs on the modules light in this sequence, your installation is successful. If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, contact your local Technical Solutions Center.

Initialize I/O Modules and Load Configuration
Initialize I/O Modules and Load Configuration The CPU initializes each of the I/O slots. At this time you can observe the hardware being detected in each slot. Each module runs through its own self tests. Each I/O module loads its image at this time during the boot process. Once the run-time image is loaded, the CPU searches for the run-time configuration file. In this case, the default file name is used: /flash/config.cfg.
After these steps are completed, the switch becomes operational. At this time, you can log in as a system administrator using the console.

Load the Run-time Image
Load the Run-time Image
The boot monitor searches for the run-time image based on the user-specified parameters in the boot configuration file. The run-time image and configuration file are designated as primary, secondary, and tertiary choices. In this example, the run-time image is loaded from the primary choice (/flash/p83a2100.img for 8300, /flash/p80a7100.img for 8600, p80ae7000.img for 8800) Once the image file has been loaded, it waits for a configurable delay period to discover a secondary CPU module.
8895SF changes New executable images for 8695SF CPU/SF: Note application image (p80ae7000.img), boot monitor image (p80be7000.img), 3DES encryption module (p80ce7000.des), AES/DES encryption module (p80ce7000.aes)

Check Boot and Run-time images
Check Boot and Run-time images the command to check the Boot and Runtime image in use are:

ERS 8300 and 8600/8800 each follows a sequence of steps after you apply power to the chassis power supplies. A terminal connected to the Console Port reflects these steps as they occur. First, the main CPU boot monitor is run from the on-board Boot Monitor Flash non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). You can connect a terminal to the console port to observe the type of CPU, the version of boot monitor code, time, memory size, and the start type: cold or warm. The CPUs flash memory is then tested. The Boot Monitor uses the boot configuration file to load the user-defined parameters and flags for the boot sequence. The default boot configuration filename is /flash/boot.cfg. One of the flags is auto-boot. When auto-boot is enabled, you can stop the boot process from the console port. By stopping at this point, you have access to the boot monitor command line interface that allows you to change the parameters and flags contained in the boot configuration file. The Boot Monitor Flash is upgraded by booting the new p8xbxxxx.img version . This operation overwrites over the old boot image in NVRAM. in theory the "b" file does not need to be maintained on the flash or pcmcia drive after the upgrade, only the NVRAM vesion is used in normal use.

Run ERS 8600/8800 Setup Utility
Run ERS 8600 Setup Utility The Setup Utility was introduced in ERS 8600 Software Release 3.3. It provides a mechanism for quick setup of all basic platform parameters. The Setup Utility is initiated through the console port by entering the run-time CLI command # install.
When a save config command is executed, the saved config file is equal to the last runtime config used. If the primary configuration file in the bootconfig (/flash/boot.cfg) is different from last runtime configuration file then the following warning message would be displayed on console, written to the log file, but not displayed on telnet/ssh logged in sessions.
Note
SW WARNING Choice Primary Node Config file is <file name> Where <file name> is the name of the primary configuration file. This is a warning to the user that should the switch boot, the config file that the switch will boot with, maybe different then the current running and saved config file. After the format-flash command is issued, a reset command must be issued before the save file boot.cfg command or else erroneous error messages will be generated. This procedure functions properly via direct console access, therefore this extra step is not required when using direct console access. For more detailed information on configuring the system with the Setup Utility, please refer to NN46200-100 - ERS 8300 Installation and Commissioning - Quick Start.

Perform configuration tasks

Perform configuration tasks
Perform Configuration Tasks When you first power up the ERS 8600, the default interface is the CLI. To switch from the CLI to the ACLI, you must change the ACLI boot flag and save the boot configuration file. Either the ACLI or the CLI is accessible at runtime. You cannot use both the CLI and ACLI commands in the same session. If a switch is operating in ACLI mode, it does not recognize a CLI configuration file and therefore cannot load it. Similarly, a switch operating in CLI mode does not recognize an ACLI configuration file and cannot load it.

In-Band Management
In-Band Management Run-time CLI You can also access the run-time CLI through a Telnet or rlogin session. To access the run-time or Boot Monitor CLI over the network, use Telnet to connect to an Internet protocol (IP) address associated with the switch. In-Band Management
When you enter the CLI, the system name is the displayed prompt. For example, the run-time CLI prompt is displayed below: ERS-8600:5# The Boot Monitor CLI prompt is: monitor#

Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-Band Management Ethernet Port You can access the Ethernet Routing Switch via the management port using EDM. In order to connect, you first must assign an IP address to the management port. You can either change the IP address using Boot Monitor, or using EDM, simply go to the Edit MgmtPort menu and assign it there. This network does not appear in the routing table; therefore, any address can be used. (You still have to follow the IP Addressing rules and not have a duplicate network or subnet per box.) With this option, you may decide, if given the resources, that it might be advantageous to set up an out-of-band (OOB) management network connecting all the management ports to a secure infrastructure. For example, you could connect all the management ports to a central hub or switch and once the PC is connected to this network, you could attach to any switch without the constraints of traffic across normal network links. The drawback is that connections will be a little slower, and when managing the box through this port, this may affect the throughput. When two 8691SF/8692SF/8895SF/CPU modules are installed in the chassis, each modules out-of-band management port is assigned a unique IP address. In the event of a CPU failure, you would have to manage the switch using the IP address of the backup CPUs out-of-band management port. Using two addresses for a single switch may cause switch identity problems. You can eliminate this confusion by assigning a virtual IP address to these out-of-band management ports so that, regardless of which 8691/8692SF/8895SF/CPU module is Master, the switch is available using the single virtual IP address.
Password Security for ERS 8600 and 8300 Ethernet Routing Switch has a security scheme with up to five levels of access providing various user privileges. The possible levels of security access are: Read-Only Access - Allows the manager to view the device settings but to change nothing. This access level is equivalent to SNMP read-only community access. Layer 2 (L2) Read-Write Access - Allows the manager to view and edit device settings dealing with L2 (bridging) functionality. The L3 routing configuration (Open Shortest Path First [OSPF] or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP]) cannot be modified. Layer 3 (L3) Read-Write Access - Allows the manager to view and edit device settings dealing with both L2 and L3 functions. Read-Write Access for All Functionality - Allows the manager to view and edit most device settings. The only device settings that cannot be changed with Read-Write access are the security and password settings. This access level is equivalent to SNMP read-write community access. Read-Write-All Access - Allows all the privileges of Read-Write access and the ability to change the security settings. The security settings include access passwords and the Web-based management user names and passwords.
When logging onto a switch using the CLI, you are prompted to enter a user name and password. When connecting to the switch using EDM, type the management IP address in the address URL bar of the browser: http://devicemanagerIPaddress and then enter the web User Name, Password and VRF Name assigned to them.

Establishing a CLI Connection
Serial Console Connection To access the run-time and Boot Monitor CLI, you need a direct connection to the switch console port from a terminal or personal computer. You can use any terminal or PC with a terminal emulator as the CLI command station. Be sure the terminal supports the following features: 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control A serial terminal-emulation program such as Terminal or Hyperterm for Windows Cables and connectors to match the Ethernet Routing Switch male data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) connector (DB-9)
Serial Modem Connection The ERS Module 8691/8692/8895SF provides a second serial port for attaching modem and console devices. The Modem port allows you to connect a standard modem for out-of-band, dial-up management. You can configure the console port as a DTE or DCE device using the front panel switch. The modem port is wired as a DTE device.

Configuring the ERS 8600/8800/8300
ERS Installation and Configuration Interfaces There are many management interfaces available to configure the Ethernet Routing Switches. The choice of configuration option should be based on the switch and your familiarity with each of the interfaces. The following table compares features and configuration options for the ERS 8600, 8300, and 1600.

ERS 8600/8800 Configuration Files
ERS 8600 Configuration Files Run-time Configuration There is one Run-time time configuration file: config.cfg Boot Configuration There are two boot configuration files: Boot Configuration file on PCMCIA - pcmboot.cfg This file has priority if it is found. If it is not found, the system will use the /flash/boot.cfg. The Boot Configuration file on Flash - boot.cfg
config.cfg pcmboot.cfg boot.cfg
Run-Time Configuration File (default name) Boot Configuration File on PCMCIA (has priority if found) Boot Configuration File on Flash
The CLI prompt will not be returned to the user until the actual FPGA update has completed, for either a direct console login session or a remote telnet/ssh/rlogin session. A spinning wheel will inform the user that the FPGA update is still in progress. This process will prevent the user from rebooting a switch too early in a FPGA upgrade situation, which might make the R module inoperable, and require an RMA.
When upgrading any ERS8600 to 4.1.3.0 or higher code, if a Mezz module is present, but the Mezz image is not, then the Mezz flag MUST be specifically set to false in boot.cfg or other boot file location (such as pcmboot.cfg). Please note that the default setting for the Mezz flag is enabled, and that previous 4.1.x releases did not have such a requirement. If the boot file is not configured in this manner, the system will look for the Mezz image and if the Mezz image is not present then the switch comes up with I/O modules working as expected, but the user can no longer ping/telnet/ftp/tftp to the switch through management port. If the Mezz image is available on flash or PCMCIA, then there is no issue of ping/telnet/ftp/tftp to that switch. On an ERS 8600 switch, to load a Mezz image whose version is different from boot image version, the Mezz image name has to be configured via the following CLI command: config bootconfig mezz-image image-name <Image-Name> However in this case all the functionality might not work as expected. The following warning message would be generated upon boot time. Warning: The Mezz CPU was booted with Image Version: <version number>Incompatible with Boot Monitor Image Version <version number>. Not all functionalities might work as expected. Please either re-boot with proper Boot Monitor Image or load the proper Mezz/Runtime Image In this scenario for R-modules, the DLD version must to be the same as Mezz image version, or else the R-module will not come up. 6721X Converged Campus: ERS Solution Installation and Configuration 2010.

ERS 8600 Configuration Overview The Run-Time configuration is maintained by the Master CPU. The Run-Time configuration is active in switch memory. You can view the Run-Time Configuration using EDM. You can use CLI commands. show config sho tech As you perform switch configuration changes they are dynamic and occur when you press Enter. For example, if you type config vlan 1 ip create 172.16.1.1/24 and press Enter, the switch adds the IP address to VLAN 1 immediately. The Run-Time configuration must be saved to flash to keep changes after switch reset/reboot.
Run-time configuration file on flash Stores the customized switch configuration when you save the run-time config Normally saved to /flash/config.cfg Or a unique file name and location using save config file /pcmcia/060314.cfg Consists of CLI commands Commands are summarized (config not included in file syntax) You can view the file using more config.cfg. You can edit the file using the ERS 8600 editor or any familiar PC text editor. The config file is executed as part of the Power-On, Boot, Reset process and at no other time. The process begins with the factory default configuration and execution of the config file alters the switch parameters away from the default. Boot flags that have an effect: factorydefaults true skips the config file execution. debugconfig true allows you to observe config file execution. verifyconfig true ensures the correct command syntax in the config file and keeps the file from being used if it is corrupt Saving the Current Configuration - EDM You can use EDM to save the current configuration by opening the Edit Chassis window and selecting the System tab.
You can access the Edit Chassis window by doing the following: 6. 7. 8. 9. Double-click on the chassis, or select the chassis from the Edit menu. Right-click on the chassis. Select Edit from the pop-up menu. Click saveRuntimeConfig.
10. Click Apply.
this can also be accomplished by typing "save config" or "save config file bakupconf.cfg"
Configuration File Contents The following graphic provides details on the contents of the Configuration File.
Maintaining the Configuration Files Example of Files on Flash

The figure below shows an example of the files on flash. These include the config.cfg, boot.cfg, .img, license and .dld files. The .xsvf are the firmware upgrade files for line cards. As can be seen it is often convenient to keep multiple config files of different key points of the life of the switch, both locally, and securely remote.
Create a Backup Copy of the config.cfg File The following figure shows the EDM screens used to create a backup copy of the config.cfg file. This can also be accomplished with the command ERS-8606:5#copy /flash/config.cfg 172.16.10.91:backupconfig.cfg

Upgrading the ERS 8600 switch software
ERS 8600 single CPU configuration Upgrade the Boot Monitor Copy the new image to flash and boot the new image. Upgrade the Run-time Image Copy the new image to flash, modify boot choice for run-time image, and boot the new image. ATM, POS, R-Module Upgrade Upgrade I/O module image at the same time as the run-time image. Copy the new I/O module image to flash and the switch will automatically load the new image during the boot process. I/O module image must match the version of the run-time image. Ensure that R-Module firmware is up to date. Redundant CPU configuration Upgrade the Boot Monitor Copy the new image to flash Boot the new image. Upgrade the Run-time Image Copy the new image to flash. Modify boot choice for run-time image. Boot the new image. Upgrade with Dual CPU In summary, upgrade the backup CPU, switch over, and then upgrade the remaining CPU. ATM, POS, R-Module Upgrade Upgrade I/O module image at the same time as the run-time image. Copy the new I/O module image to flash and the switch will automatically load the new image during the boot process. I/O module image must match the version of the run-time image. Ensure that R-Module firmware is up to date.
During an upgrade from 4.0.x release to 4.1.x release the usable flash memory can be upgraded from 16MB/40MB to 64MB. After the flash has been formatted the first command executed related to any file operation generates Error messages on the console. However, the system recovers automatically and this does not have any impact on functionality.

Configuration file precautions for upgrade Before upgrading to Ethernet Routing Switch , take special note of the following cautionary messages: The configuration file may contain options that are not backward compatible with any prior release. After you upgrade your Ethernet Routing Switch software, make sure you save the configuration file. When installing files on the on-board flash or PCMCIA, make sure that you verify flash capacity before downloading the files to ensure that you have adequate space.
As a precaution, before you upgrade or downgrade your switch software, make a copy of the switch configuration file specified in the boot.cfg file using the following CLI command: copy /flash/config.cfg <device>/config.cfg where device can be the local PCMCIA or a remote PC host
DLD files information for upgrade When the boot configuration is saved in runtime, the current bootp DLD image names are saved in the boot.cfg file. DLD search during bootup The following conditions can result when you upgrade: If you load a new image without removing the bootp DLD entry references from the boot.cfg, then the new version of the file is not downloaded to the I/O boards. The old I/O module DLD file is downloaded instead. On bootup, if a DLD file is not configured in boot.cfg, the CP code searches for a DLD file on flash with the following file name: p83r<stream name><version>.dld
File Found: The stream name and version must match the CP image being initialized. If this file is found, its checksum is verified and it is downloaded to the I/O boards. If the boot configuration is saved, this is the DLD file name saved in boot.cfg. Search for Alternative File: If the CP does not find this DLD file name in its flash, it searches for the following default file name: p83r<stream name>.dld Only the stream name must match the CP image being initialized. If this file is found, its checksum is verified and it is downloaded to the I/O boards. If the boot configuration is saved, this is the DLD file name saved in boot.cfg. Correcting DLD file issues To make the system boot from the default DLD files, first clear the DLD file references made by boot.cfg: 1. 2. Enter the boot monitor. Enter the following command: bootp image default This clears the DLD file entries so that the new version of p83r<stream name><version>.dld or p83r<stream name>.dld will be loaded.
Do not interrupt the DLD download once it has started or failure could occur. Caution Refer to Upgrading to Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 Software Release 4.0 for the detailed procedures to upgrade the switch.
Upgrade the boot monitor

The first step in the upgrade is to use the copy command to load the Boot Monitor image to the switch flash from a TFTP server. This can also be done by installing a PCMCIA Card in your laptop containing the new image and copying that to the PCMCIA card and then to flash. For example: copy 192.168.10.100:p83b4100.img /flash/p83b4100.img Boot the new image file to upgrade the Boot Monitor: Boot /flash/p83b3000.img Upgrade the Pre-boot image To upgrade the Pre-boot image: boot /flash/p83f4100.img Upgrade the Run-time image Upgrade the image by first using the copy command to load the run-time image to the switch flash from a TFTP server shown in the example CLI below. This can also be done by installing a PCMCIA Card in your laptop containing the new image and copying the image to the PCMCIA card and then to flash. copy 192.168.10.100:p83a4100.img /flash/p83a4100.img copy 192.168.10.100:p83r4100.img /flash/p83r4100.img boot /flash/p83a4100.img The switch will now boot the new run-time image. To direct the switch to boot the runtime image by default as the primary image use the CLI commands: config bootconfig choice primary image /flash/p83a4100.img save bootconfig Upgrade with dual CPUs When upgrading a dual CPU configuration, ensure that the current configuration files have been saved on both the Master and Standby CPUs and that they are consistent. Upgrade the Boot monitor and Pre-boot image on the Standby CPU. Then upgrade the Boot monitor and Pre-boot image on the Master CPU. Upgrade the Master CPU runtime image and then upgrade the runtime image on the Standby.

An Advanced License Kit is required for each ERS 8300 chassis. ERS 8300 Series cannot run more than one license file at once. You need only one valid license file for the chassis, regardless of the modules installed. Advanced License Kits are available in kits of 1, 10, 50 and 100 licenses. The software license file is based on authorized chassis MAC addresses. An individual license file can be generated using one chassis MAC address, and a multi-chassis license can be generated using multiple chassis MAC addresses. A multi-chassis license can support up to 100 unique MAC addresses. ERS 8300 Series lets you define a primary, secondary, and tertiary path for the license file, similar to configuration and system image files. This protects against system flash failures. For example, the primary path may point to /flash, the secondary to /PCMCIA, and the tertiary to a network path. After you obtain the license file, you must load it to flash, PCMCIA card, or a TFTP server. You can change the default license file name (license.dat) to another file name for convenience (for example, thirdflr.dat). Once loaded, you must specify the path to the file and reboot the switch for the license to take effect.

Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 features

Overview
Avaya's innovative stacking design of the 5500 series allows for simultaneous bi-directional traffic flow on each stacking port and supports an optimal data flow across the stack using a shortest path algorithm. Most vendors today employ a traditional ring architecture, meaning that a packet travels on the ring in only one direction. For example, in a stack of eight switches, if a packet needs to go from unit 2 to unit 3, it can get there in a single hop. But if a packet needs to go from unit 3 to unit 2, then it has to traverse from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and so on until it reaches unit 2. This requires seven hops. The FAST stack design uses a shortest path algorithm, which means that the packet would traverse directly from unit 3 to unit 2 in a single hop. Flexible stacking across all 5500 series switches-a stack is managed as a single entity with a single IP address. Cost-effective plug-and-play stacking with built-in stacking ports Up to 384 ports of Gigabit desktop connectivity in an 8-rack unit high design-the highest density in the industry (8 5510-48T and/or 5520-48Ts) Industry-leading Gigabit Ethernet performance with innovative stacking using FAST (Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology) -providing up to 640 Gbps Up to 96 built-in SFP GBIC uplink ports in a stack (8 5530s) Up to 16 built-in 10G XFP ports in a stack (8 5530s)

AES
Avaya Energy Saver (AES) You can use Avaya Energy Saver (AES) to reduce network infrastructure power consumption without impacting network connectivity. AES uses intelligent switching capacity reduction in off-peak mode to reduce direct power consumption by up to 40%. AES can also use Power over Ethernet (PoE) port power priority levels to shut down low priority PoE ports and provide more power savings. The power consumption savings of each switch is determined by the number of ports with AES enabled and by the power consumption of PoE ports that are powered off. If AES for a port is set to disabled, the port is not powered off, irrespective of the PoE configuration. AES turns off the power to a port only when PoE is enabled globally, the port AES is enabled, and the PoE priority for the port is configured to low. You can schedule AES to enter lower power states during specified periods of time. These time periods can be a complete week, complete weekend, or individual days. Avaya recommends disabling AES on uplink copper ports since activating or deactivating AES on copper ports will trigger a link down followed rapidly by a link up event. The best solution
is to use fiber ports for uplinks since link status will not change when AES is activated or deactivated.
Important: If a switch is reset while energy-saver is activated, the PoE power saving calculation may not accurately reflect the power saving, and in some cases may display zero savings. This is because the switch did not have sufficient time to record PoE usage between the reset of the switch and energy-saver being reactivated. When energy saver is next activated, the PoE power saving calculation will be correctly updated.
Note

Stacking Connectors
Stacking Connectors ERS 5500 series switches have built-in stacking ports for faster, plug-and-play stacking. This is more cost-effective as cascade modules are not required. This stacking design frees up the uplink ports for dedicated connectivity to the backbone. Each stack link (cable) is 40 Gigabits per second. 5500 series switches are designed with recessed stacking connectors that save premium closet space and protect the integrity of the stack from accidental contact.
In the 5500 series switches, the stack cables can be physically connected from the UP port on one unit to the UP port on a neighbor unit, but this configuration is not supported. Always check that the Cable from the UP port on one unit is connected to the DOWN port on another unit. This should be a first troubleshooting step. FAST Technology ERS 5500 switches can stack up to eight units with a cascade stacking design, assuring continuous uptime even if a single switch in the stack should fail. A loop-back or cascade cable is used to seamlessly connect the entire stack to provide no single point of failure. In the unlikely event of a switch failure, traffic performance is maintained at 40 Gbps on the immediate units in either direction of the failed unit via a "wrapping" method; the remaining units in the stack continue to send traffic bi-directionally at full bandwidth capability of 80 Gbps per switch.

Auto Unit Replacement (AUR)
Auto Unit Replacement (AUR) The Auto Unit Replacement (AUR) feature allows users to replace a unit from a stack while retaining the configuration of the unit. This feature requires the stack power to be on during the unit replacement. The main feature of the AUR is the ability to retain the configuration (CFG) image of a unit in a stack during a unit replacement. The retained CFG image from the old unit is restored to the new unit. Since retained CFG images are kept in the DRAM of the stack, the stack power must be kept on during the procedure. Auto Unit Replacement (AUR) - Configuration File Replacement If a switch in a stack fails, the AUR feature allows the user to replace the switch with an identical switch. The new switch does not need to be running the same release of software because AAUR can upgrade the software. It must be the same switch model. The configuration from the failed switch is copied onto the new switch.
Other information related to this feature: The new unit must be the same hardware configuration as the old, including the same number of ports. If the user adds a new unit with a different hardware configuration the configuration of this unit is used. If the user adds a new unit with the same hardware configuration then the previous configuration of the unit is overwritten with the restored configuration of the failed unit from the stack. This feature can be disabled/enabled at any time using the CLI. The default mode is ENABLE. Customer log messages are provided.
The CFG mirror image is a mirror of a CFG image (in FLASH) of a unit in a stack. The mirror image does not reside in the same unit with the CFG image. The unit that contains the CFG image is called the Associated Unit (AU) of the CFG mirror image. The MAC Address of the AU is called the Associated MAC Address (AMA) of the CFG mirror image. An active CFG Mirror Image is a CFG mirror image that has its AU in the stack. An INACTIVE CFG Mirror Image is a CFG mirror image for which the AU has been removed from the stack. When a CFG mirror image becomes INACTIVE, the INACTIVE CFG mirror image is copied to another unit.
The stack always keeps two copies of an INACTIVE CFG mirror image in the stack in case one unit is removed - the other unit can still provide the backup INACTIVE CFG mirror image. Auto Unit Replacement does not work on a stack of two units only unless it is in stack force mode. Without this configuration, if a unit fails, the remaining unit becomes a standalone switch and Auto Unit Replacement does not load the configuration of the failed unit if it is replaced. If multiple switches have left the stack, the last switch that left is the first switch restored (Last in, First Out). Insert the switch into the stack. The stack copies the configuration to the switch. The switch saves the configuration to its flash and then resets itself. Auto Unit Replacement (AUR)

Configuring AUR
CLI Configuration From the enable mode: Enable the feature => stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable Disable the feature => no stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable Set to Default => default stack auto-unit-replacement-image enable Show the current configuration => show stack auto-unit-replacement-image
The log messages appear for: AUR - enable AUR - disable AUR - default - enable
After a reboot, it takes from 5-10 minutes for the configuration to be taken from all the units in the stack. Avaya has added the following log message: All units mirrored for the first time, so that you can know exactly when you can replace units after the stack has been reset.
Note

Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR)
Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR) The Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR) feature steps in before the Auto Unit Replacement. The Agent Auto Unit Replacement feature synchronizes the software version on the new switch when it is inserted into the stack. AAUR is a utility to automatically update the agent image in units with the image in the base unit if they are different during the stack-join attempt of units in a stack. The process updates all units connected to the stack. Once a unit is updated, it resets and joins the stack. The user can enable/disable the feature via CLI. This user configuration is saved across resets. The default setting for this feature is ENABLE. Customer log messages are provided. This feature was added in 4.2. Agent Auto Unit Replacement (AAUR) Auto Unit Replacement (AUR)-Software Image Replacement
The ERS 4500 release 5.2.0 and above has an added ability to update the diagnostic files when AAUR is enabled. Note

New Unit Quick Configuration Feature
New Unit Quick Configuration Feature The New Unit Quick Configuration (quickconfig) feature allows for the creation of a default configuration that can be applied to any new unit entering a stack configuration. This allows new units to be added to the stack without the need to reset the stack. More importantly, this feature allows new units to be added to the stack and receive pre-configured properties such as VLAN, Spanning Tree Group port memberships etc. The CLI commands detailed in this section are used to configure and enable this feature. All commands in this section are executed in the Global Configuration command mode. CLI Commands To enable quickconfig: quickconfig enable To disable quickconfig: no quickconfig enable To reset quickconfig to factory defaults: default quickconfig To record the default configuration that will be applied to new units in the stack, from the base unit: quickconfig start-recording To end the recording process type a . (dot) in the CLI.
Process 1. 2. 3. 4. Enable quickconfig. Save a template on the base unit. Insert a new switch in the stack. The unit is configured with the CLI commands in the template.

Stack Troubleshooting Features
Stack Troubleshooting Features Ethernet Switch Software (ESS) 5.1 includes the following new tools to troubleshoot stacking issues: Stack Loopback Test - Helps test stack cables and ports Stack Port Counters - Create aggregate port counts, instead of separate counts for each of the 10Gig links in the uplink or downlink. Stack Monitor - Detects issues with the stack and sends traps
Stack Loopback Test The purpose of the Stack Loopback Test is to allow the customer to quickly test the switch stack ports and the stack cables. If the customer is experiencing stack problems, the Stack Loopback Test helps the customer to determine if the root cause is a bad stack cable or a damaged stack port. There are two types of loopback tests: internal loopback test end external loopback test. The purpose of the internal loopback test is to verify that the stack ports are functional. The purpose of the external loopback test is to verify that the stack cable is functional. For accurate results, the internal loopback test must be run before the external loopback test. Run these tests on a standalone switch. No traffic should run through the switch while it is under test. Commands: stack loopback-test internal stack loopback-test external

Stack Manager
Stack Manager Stack Manager consists of the following functional characteristics: Stack Link Verification - Stack link verification is done by transmitting periodic hello/heart-beat packets on each stack link. Base Unit Selection - Base unit selection can be done using rear panel switch or front panel push-button switch. Unit Discovery - The Unit Discovery, Number Assignment, and database Exchange phases are similar to ones in the Ethernet switch architecture. Unit Number Assignment Database Exchange Stack Maintenance
The System Characteristics Menu, Display Hardware Units Menu, and Renumber Stack Units Menu are available through the Console Menu, ACLI and EDM. Stacking Architecture

Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology (FAST)
Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology (FAST) The stacking design of the ERS5500 series allows for simultaneous bi-directional traffic flow on each stacking port and supports an optimal data flow across the stack using a shortest path algorithm. Most vendors today employ a traditional ring architecture, meaning that a packet travels on the ring in only one direction. For example, in a stack of eight switches, if a packet needs to go from unit 2 to unit 3, it can get there in a single hop. But if a packet needs to go from unit 3 to unit 2, then it has to traverse from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and so on until it reaches unit 2. This requires seven hops. The FAST stack design uses a shortest path algorithm, which means that the packet would traverse directly from unit 3 to unit 2 in a single hop. Flexible stacking across all 5500 series switchesa stack is managed as a single entity with a single IP address. Cost-effective plug-and-play stacking with built-in stacking ports Up to 384 ports of Gigabit desktop connectivity in an 8-rack unit high designthe highest density in the industry (8 5510-48T and/or 5520-48Ts) Gigabit Ethernet performance with stacking using FAST providing up to 640 Gbps Up to 96 built-in SFP GBIC uplink ports in a stack (8 5530s) Up to 16 built-in 10G XFP ports in a stack (8 5530s) Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology (FAST)
Stack Forced Mode Stack Forced Mode allows one or both units to become stand-alone switches if a stack of two units breaks. The Stack Forced Mode allows you to manage one of the stand-alone devices from a broken stack of two with the previous stack IP address. If you enable Stack Forced Mode on a stack, you enable Stack Forced Mode on all units in the stack. Stack Forced Mode becomes active only if the stack fails. Stack Forced Mode applies to a stand-alone switch that is part of a stack of two units. When functioning in this mode, the
stand-alone switch keeps the previous stack IP settings (IP address, netmask, gateway). That allows an administrator to reach the device through an IP connection by telnet or Enterprise Device Manager. If one unit fails, the remaining unit ( base or non-base unit) keeps the previous stack IP settings. The remaining unit issues a gratuitous ARP packet when it enters Stack Forced Mode, in order for other devices on the network to update their ARP cache. If the stack connection between the two units fails (a stack cable failure, for example), both stand-alone units retain the IP settings. To detect if the other stack partner is also using the previous stack IP settings, each device issues an ARP request on the IP address. When a failure occurs in a stack of 2 units when forced stack mode is enabled, the previous non-base unit will send out a gratuitous ARP onto the management network. The purpose of sending out this gratuitous ARP is so that the non-base unit of a failed 2 unit stack can determine if the base unit is still operational and using the stack IP address. Such a failure situation in which both the base unit and non-base unit were operational, but not part of a stack could be possible if the 2 units in a stack were connected by a single stack cable and that stack cable were then removed or failed. If the previous non-base unit receives a reply from the previous base unit of the stack, then the previous non-base unit knows that the previous base unit is still operational and does not take over ownership of the stack IP address, but instead will use the local switch IP address if configured. If on the other hand the previous non-base unit does not receive a response from the previous base-unit; the previous non-base unit will now take over ownership of the stack IP address and issue a gratuitous ARP with it's own MAC address to ensure that all devices on the management VLAN have their ARP caches appropriately updated. the command structure is relatively simple and is: stack forced-mode to enable it
no stack forced-mode to disable it stack forced-mode default and show stack forced-mode

ERS 5600 overview

ERS 5600 Overview
ERS 5600 overview The ERS 5600 Series is added in conjunction with the availability of Release 6.0 of the ERS 5500 Series.The ERS5600 has the same software image as the ERS5500 series, so the debut software release of the ERS 5600 Series is release 6.0. The ERS5600 Series complements and is stackable with the ERS5500 Series. It is fully non blocking except when stacking with 24-port and 96-port models. It provides up to 384Gbps switch fabric: 144Gbps when stacked with ERS5600 products (architected for 1.1Tbps stack bandwidth) 80Gbps when stacked with ERS5510/5520/5530
Hardware The ERS 5600 series has five L2/L3 stackable switching platforms that use modular power supply units:

ERS 5600 hardware features
Additional hardware features The 5600 Series switches have a Type-A USB 2.0 port on the front panel and a mini Type B USB port on the rear panel. Front and rear panels This is the front panel of the 5698TFD.
This is the rear panel of the 5698TFD.

Stacking the ERS 5600
Stacking the ERS 5600 Release 6.0 provides two modes of operation for ERS 5000 Series stacks. Pure: with either up to eight ERS 5500 Series switches or eight ERS 5600 Series switches Hybrid or mixed stack: a combination of up to eight ERS 5500 Series switches and ERS 5600 Series switches
To integrate one or more 5600 Series switches into an existing 5500 stack: Set the mode parameter on the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series switches to mixed mode. Install only one 5600 as Non-Base Unit (NBU). It gets the configuration from the Base Unit (BU) and integrates into the stack. Set the existing 5500 BU as NBU (using the switch) and the new 5600 to BU. Once the 5600 is the BU in the stack, you can add more 5600 Series switches to the stack without losing the existing 5500 configuration.

Power redundancy and PoE capabilities

ERS 5600 Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet The PoE capable ERS 5600 stackable switch is available in both a 48-port and a 96-port version. When utilizing PoE, make sure to engineer the power requirements for the switch/stack properly. PoE units require the second power supply to provide the full 15.4W per port, if all ports are at 15.4W. If only select ports require full power, you can achieve 15.4W per port on those ports using a single power supply. You subtract that from the overall power budget supplied by the single power supply. The remaining budget can be dynamically allocated to remaining ports. PoE capabilities
5650TD-PWR 10/100/1000 TX Ports 100FE/1GE SFP Ports 10GFX XFP Port Main power Redundant power PoE power at each port 48 0 2 600W 600W 7.7W 5650TD-PWR 48 0 2 1000W 1000W 15.4W 5698TFD-PWR 96 6 2 2 x 1000W 1000W 15.4W

The power supplies: Contain cooling fans and internal fuses Are hot-swappable and hot-pluggable Can operate in parallel for redundancy (in model 5698 you can use 3 power supply modules for true N+1 redundancy). The RPS 15 is not required for power redundancy on ERS 5600 switches.
Specific keyed power cords are required. They can also be used with the ERS 5500 Series, but ERS 5500 Series power cords cannot be used with the ERS 5600 Series.
