On the ServerIron 350, 450, E Series, and C Series and the WSM is located in the top slot of the device (slot 1). On the ServerIron 850, the WSM is located in the left-most slot of the device. This section contains the following sections: LEDs on page 2-13 Serial Management Interface on page 2-14 Reset Button on page 2-14 NOTE: Any system can be upgraded to a higher performance management module. NOTE: Dual management modules must be of the same type. NOTE: You cannot mix IronCore and JetCore modules in a single ServerIron device. NOTE: You can install up to two WSM6 modules in a device for double the performance and redundancy. However, using two WSM6 modules reduces the number of slots available for JetCore interface modules. With two WSM6 modules installed, both modules are active and the result is double the performance. NOTE: The WSM6-1 and WSM6-2 do not work with the IronCore line modules. LEDs You can determine the status of a WSM processor by observing its LEDs. Table 2.1 contains information on how to determine the status of each LED. Table 2.1: WSM LEDs LED Position State Status Active Upper LED to the left of the serial interface On Off The MP is active.

31 Product Overview 10/100 Ports Each 10/100 port has its own RJ-45 connector. Each connector supports a 10/100 Ethernet network segment on Category 5 (Cat5) wire. The 10/100 ports use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link and adjust port speed accordingly. Use a crossover cable to connect to another Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3 Switch. A crossover cable swaps the wires so that the send signal on one port connects to the receive signal on the other port, and so on. Use a straight-through cable to connect to an end station or server. A straight-through cable does not swap the wires. For the pinout information, see Pin Assignment and Signalling for 10BaseTX and 100BaseTX Ports on page For information about status LEDs, see LEDs on page LEDs The LEDs listed in the tables provide status information for the supported JetCore Line Modules.

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device. CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40 o C (104 o F). CAUTION: Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2006

41 Installing the ServerIron Power Precautions CAUTION: Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to connect it to the power source. If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device. CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors. CAUTION: Use separate branch circuits for the power. This provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. CAUTION: All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location. CAUTION: For the DC input circuit to a 4-slot or 8-slot Chassis device (DC power supply part number RPS3DC), make sure there is a Listed 20 amp circuit breaker, minimum 48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the power supply. The input wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper wire, 14 AWG, marked VW- 1, and rated minimum 90 C. CAUTION: For DC power supplies in 4-slot or 8-slot Chassis devices (part number RPS3DC), use a grounding wire of at least 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG). CAUTION: For the DC input circuit to the system (DC power supply part number SI350-DC), make sure there is a 30 amp circuit breaker, minimum -48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the terminal block. The input wiring for connection to the product should be copper wire, 10 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 degrees celcius. CAUTION: For a DC system (DC power supply part number SI350-DC), use a grounding wire of at least 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 10 AWG wire should be attached to an agency-approved crimp connector, crimped with the proper tool. Preparing the Installation Site Cabling Infrastructure Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. See Connecting Network Devices on page 3-11 for a summary of supported cabling types and their specifications. Installation Location Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least 3" of space at the front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3" of space between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions. December Foundry Networks, Inc. 3-3

42 Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide Installing or Removing DC Power Supplies (for 4-Slot Chassis Devices) Use the following procedures for DC power supplies in 4-slot Chassis devices. Use power supply model RPS3DC for 4-slot Chassis devices. Figure 3.1 DC power supply for 4-slot or 8-slot Chassis device (part number RPS3DC) Installing a DC Power Supply 1. Prepare the positive, negative, and ground wires by stripping about 1/4" of insulation off the end of each one. (Use at least 14 AWG wire.) 2. Loosen the three screws used to hold the wires in the connector. These are the wires under the following markings: NOTE: If you cannot easily reach the screws and wire openings due to the connector guard, remove the connector guard from the power supply. The guard is fastened to the supply by two Phillips-head screws and is mounted over the connector. 3. Slip the ground wire into the opening under the marking until the wire is fully in place, then tighten the screw to hold the wire in place. 4. Repeat for the negative ( ) and positive (+) wires. 5. Pull gently on each wire to make sure they are securely fastened in the connector. 6. Re-attach the connector guard over the connector. 7. Insert the power supply into the chassis. Seat the supply firmly so that the faceplate of the supply is flush with the chassis surface. WARNING: Metal edges on the power supply may be sharp. 8. Tighten the two thumb screws to secure the power supply to the chassis. 9. After the power supply is properly inserted, connect the power source to the wires to activate the circuit. Removing a DC Power Supply 1. Turn off the DC power source or disconnect it from the power supply. 2. Loosen the three screws used to hold the wires in the connector, then pull out the wires Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2006

43 Installing the ServerIron NOTE: If you cannot easily reach the screws and wire openings due to the connector guard, remove the connector guard from the power supply. The guard is fastened to the supply by two Phillips-head screws and is mounted over the connector. If you remove the connector guard, re-attach it once you are finished removing the wires to prevent the guard from being lost. 3. Loosen the two thumb screws that secure the power supply to the chassis. 4. Pull the power supply completely out of the chassis. WARNING: Metal edges on the power supply may be sharp. Verifying Proper Operation Before mounting the device in its network location, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it passes its self test. If your device has more than one power supply installed, repeat the following stps for each power supply. 1. Connect the power cord supplied with the ServerIron to the power connector on the power supply at the rear of the device. 2. Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet. NOTE: The devices do not have power switches. They power on when you connect a power cord to the device and to a power source. If your installation requires a different power cord than that supplied with the device, make sure you obtain a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device. 3. Check the LEDs on the front of the device. When the system is first powered on, the lights simultaneously light as the system goes through system and module diagnostics. After the initial diagnostics are complete, none of the port LEDs light up until a cable is connected. For more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up, see LEDs on page Attaching a PC or Terminal Foundry devices do not have an IP address when shipped from the factory. You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through Telnet connections. The CLI is described in detail in the Foundry ServerIron Command Line Interface Reference. You can attach a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you also can access the system through Telnet and through the Web management interface. To attach to a management station using the serial port: 1. Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the ServerIron using a straight-through cable. The serial port has a male DB-9 connector. NOTE: You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC. 2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows: Baud: 9600 bps Data bits: 8 Parity: None December Foundry Networks, Inc. 3-5

44 Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the following CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window: ServerIron> If you see this prompt, you are now connected to the CLI and can proceed to Assigning IP Addresses on page 3-7. NOTE: If you are configuring a Foundry switch that you have upgraded with ServerIron code, the command prompt might be different. You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. If you do not see one of these prompts: 1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Foundry system. 2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Foundry system. The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. The ServerIron comes with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in Figure 3.2. Figure 3.2 Serial port pin and signalling details Pin Assignment Pin Number Switch Signal 1 DB-9 male Reserved TXD (output) RXD (input) Reserved GND Reserved CTS (input) RTS (output) Reserved Most PC serial ports also require a cable with a female DB-9 connector. Terminal connections will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female. Serial cable options between a Foundry switch or router and a PC or terminal are shown in Figure 3.3. NOTE: As indicated in Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.3, some of the wires should not be connected. If you do connect the wires that are labeled Reserved, you might get unexpected results with some terminals Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2006

You must assign an IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. Foundry devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net masks, and so on) and prefix masks. To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter " " for an IP address with a Class-C sub-net mask. To enter a network mask using prefix addressing, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter " /24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits. By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: ). You can change the display to prefix-addressing format. See the Configuring IP and IP/RIP chapter in the Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Basic Configuration Guide. NOTE: If your network uses a BootStrap Protocol (BootP) server or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, you can allow the Foundry device to obtain IP information from the server. To assign a management IP Address to a ServerIron: 1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable. ServerIron> enable 2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, ServerIron#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present: ServerIron# erase startup-config NOTE: Use this step only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file. 3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command: ServerIron# configure terminal ServerIron(config)# 4. Set the IP and mask addresses. December Foundry Networks, Inc. 3-7

46 Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide ServerIron(config)# ip address Set a default gateway address for the switch. ServerIron(config)# ip default-gateway Syntax: enable [<password>] Syntax: configure terminal Syntax: ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask> or Syntax: ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits> Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr> NOTE: If you plan to deploy the ServerIron in a multinetted environment, you can add up to four additional source IP addresses. The source IP addresses allow the ServerIron and the real servers, remote access server (RAS), and border access router (BAR) to be on different sub-nets.

49 Installing the ServerIron Powering On the ServerIron After you complete the physical installation of the ServerIron, you can power on the system. 1. Remove the power cord from the shipping package. 2. Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel. 3. Insert the power cable plug into a 115V/120V outlet. NOTE: Foundry devices are designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or remove modules. Therefore, the systems do not have separate on/off power switches. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cord(s). The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible. If the outlet is not rated 115/120V, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet. Connecting Network Devices Foundry devices can support connections to other vendors routers, switches, and hubs as well other Foundry switches and routers. The 8-port, 16-port, and 24-port ServerIrons all use 10BaseT/100BaseTX ports with RJ-45 jacks for standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP/Category 5) cable connections. If you have the optional gigabit uplink, these devices support the following types of interfaces: 10BaseT/100BaseTX ports come with RJ45 jacks for standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP/Category 5) cable connections. 100BaseFX ports come equipped with SC(MMF) connectors. 1000BaseSX ports come equipped with SC(MMF) connectors. 1000BaseLX ports come equipped with SC(SMF) connectors. 1000BaseLH ports come equipped with SC(SMF) connectors.

The ANSI Fibre Channel specification specifies 500/500 MHz*km 50 micron MMF and 500/500 MHz*km fiber has been proposed for addition to ISO/IEC Cable length of meters is supported on 62.5 µm multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling. Cable length of meters is supported on 50 µm multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling. Cable length of meters is supported on 9 µm single-mode fiber (SMF) cabling. 1000BaseLH: Cable length should not exceed 70 kilometers. NOTE: Cable installation and network configuration will affect overall transmission capability. The numbers provided above represent the accepted recommendations of the various standards. For network-specific recommendations, consult your local Foundry reseller system engineer. Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs For UTP connections to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs, a 10/100 Mbps switch, or another switch or router, a crossover cable is required (Figure 3.8). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable rather than a crossover cable Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2006

Fiber cabling with SC connectors is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers. Troubleshooting Network Connections For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the ServerIron and at the connected device) are snug. Verify that the ServerIron and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly. Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection: For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling. For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the ServerIron is connected to the receive port on the connected device, and that the receive port on the ServerIron is connected to the transmit port on the connected device. Verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. You can use the CLI. If you have configured an IP address on the device, you also can use the Web management interface. If the procedures above do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable. Testing Connectivity After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices. You also can perform trace routes. Pinging an IP Address To verify that a ServerIron can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI: ServerIron> ping Syntax: ping <ip-addr> <hostname> [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size <byte>] [no-fragment] [quiet] [verify] [data <1 4 byte hex>] [brief] December Foundry Networks, Inc. 3-13

52 Foundry ServerIron Hardware Installation Guide Tracing a Route To determine the path through which a Foundry device can reach another device, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI on the Foundry device: ServerIron> traceroute Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [minttl <value>] [maxttl <value>] [timeout <value>] [numeric] Foundry Networks, Inc.
