Installing A Switch Controller

Switch controllers can be hot swapped. There is no need to power down the switch when

installing or removing switch controllers. The switch will continue to operate as long as

at least one functional switch controller remains in place, although a brief pause in

switching and routing may occur.

Follow these steps to install a switch controller:

1. Read the safety information

For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A

copy of this booklet is supplied with each switch controller. A PDF version

can be found on the CD-ROM that ships with every switch controller and

every chassis.

2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need

To loosen or secure the switch controller’s mounting screws you will need

a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

3. Choose a bay for the switch controller

The first switch controller to be installed in a chassis should be installed in

switch controller bay A.

Do not attempt to install a switch controller in a line card bay (bays 1 to 8 on

the SwitchBlade 8, and bays 1 to 4 on the SwitchBlade 4). Attempting to install

a switch controller in a line card bay is likely to damage the switch controller

and chassis.

4. Prepare the switch controller

In an antistatic environment, remove the switch controller from its packing

material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.

Do not attempt to install a switch controller without observing correct

antistatic procedures. Failure to do so may damage the switch controller and

chassis. If you are unsure what the correct procedures are, contact your

authorised Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller.

An ESD socket is provided on the front panel of the SwitchBlade chassis. The socket is

designed to be used in conjunction with an ESD wrist strap (see Figure 1 on page -5).

5. Install the CPU memory pack

Only Allied Telesyn supplied DIMMS have been tested and approved for use

with SwitchBlade switch controllers. Using DIMM that has not been approved

may cause unreliable operation and will invalidate the switch controller’s

warranty.

In an antistatic environment:

a) Lay the switch controller on a flat surface

b) Unpack the memory pack’s two DIMMs

c) Holding a DIMM at an angle of about 30 degrees from horizontal, align

the notches on its connector strip with the notches on a DIMM slot (see

Figure 2 on page -5)

d) Insert the DIMM into the DIMM slot, sliding it along the two guides

until the retaining latches click into place. The latches should hold the

DIMM firmly in place

e) Repeat the process for the second DIMM

For the switch to function, both DIMMs must be installed (giving 256 MBytes of

DRAM per switch controller).

6. Install CAM

If you purchased Content Addressable Memory (CAM) modules, install

them now by following the instructions in the CAM Quick Install Guide.

The CAM Quick Install Guide can be found on the SwitchBlade

Documentation and Tools CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from

www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz.

7. Prepare the switch controller bay

Remove the switch controller bay faceplate or existing switch controller

To remove a bay’s faceplate:

Loosen the faceplate’s two Phillips mounting screws until they disengage

from the chassis, then remove the faceplate.

Keep the faceplate for future use. If you should remove a switch controller, replace the

faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering the chassis and to maintain proper

airflow.

The switch may overheat or be damaged by dust and debris if bays are left

uncovered.

To remove an existing switch controller:

Loosen the switch controller’s two Phillips mounting screws until they

disengage from the chassis.

Move the switch controller’s ejector levers to the unlocked position (see

Figure 3 on page -6).

Slide the switch controller out of the chassis, keeping the controller in a

straight alignment so it doesn’t jam.

Figure 3: Ejector levers.

8. Insert the new switch controller

Make sure the switch controller’s metal back-panel is aligned with the card

guides (see Figure 4 on page -7).

Switch Controllers are mounted vertically in the SwitchBlade 8 (AT-SB4108) chassis

and horizontally in the SwitchBlade 4 (AT-SB4104) chassis.

With the ejector levers in the unlocked position (see Figure 3 on page -6),

carefully slide the switch controller into the chassis.

The ejectors’ locking mechanisms should align with their slots in the

chassis (see Figure 5 on page -7).

Quick Install Guide 7

C613-04031-01 REV B

When inserting a switch controller, take care to slide the back-panel along both

guides at an equal rate. If a switch controller becomes tight, it must not be

forced. Instead, gently withdraw the controller and try again, taking extra care

to keep the controller aligned with the guides. Forcing a misaligned or jammed

switch controller is likely to damage the controller or chassis.

Figure 4: Card guides on the SwitchBlade 8 chassis.

Figure 5: Ejector lever and locking slot.

9. Secure the switch controller

Move the ejector levers to the locked position (see Figure 3 on page -6) and

tighten the switch controller’s mounting screws.

10. Check the switch controller is receiving power

The switch controller’s Power LED will light green if the controller is

receiving power.

If the power LED fails to light:

For AC chassis models, ensure that:

• The IEC power cords are plugged into the correct sockets on the

chassis’s rear panel. The sockets should correspond to PSU bays that

have PSUs installed.

• The IEC power cords are plugged into supply circuits that are receiving

power and all switches are in the ON position.

• The standby switch on the chassis is in the Run position

C613-04031-01 REV B

For DC chassis models, ensure that:

• The correct DC terminal blocks on the chassis’s rear panel are wired.

The blocks should correspond to PSU bays that have PSUs installed.

• The DC terminals are wired to the correct polarity.

• The circuit breaker supplying the DC supply circuit is On.

• The standby switch on the chassis is in the Run position.

Further troubleshooting information can be found in the SwitchBlade

Hardware Reference.

Configuring The Switch Controller

If this is the only switch controller installed in the chassis you will need to

configure it in order to access the switch’s advanced switching capabilities.

Switch controllers can be configured via the Command Line Interface (CLI) or

Graphical User Interface (GUI).

If a switch controller running the same software release and software licences is

already installed in the chassis, the second switch controller (the slave) will

automatically replicate the first controller’s (the master’s) configuration.

.If two switch controllers are installed, and a system reset or power cycle

occurs, the controller in Bay A will assume master status. Forcing a system

reset or power cycle while installing a new controller in Bay A will therefore

cause any configuration on a controller in Bay B to be overwritten.

To retain the configuration of a controller in Bay B, either remove the controller

from Bay B and place it in Bay A before installing a new controller, or hot swap

the new controller into Bay A.

Using the CLI to configure a switch controller:

1. Connect a terminal or PC to RS-232 (ASYN0)

Use an RS-232 DB9 cable to connect your terminal or PC to the RS-232

Terminal Port (ASYN0) on the master switch controller. Two RS-232 DB9

cables are supplied with each chassis.

If two switch controllers are installed, and the switch has not yet been connected to a

power supply, the switch controller in Bay A will assume master controller status. In all

cases the master controller is the controller whose Master LED is lit.

2. Set the communication parameters

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation

program to:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•Parity:None

•Stopbits:1

• Flow control: Hardware

See the SwitchBlade Hardware Reference for more information on configuring

emulation software.

Quick Install Guide 9

C613-04031-01 REV B

3. Check the power supply

Ensure the chassis’s standby switch is in the Run position and the switch

controller is receiving power (Power LED lights green).

4. Log in

After the switch controller has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log

in prompt doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the switch controller boots for the first time it automatically creates

an account with manager privileges. The account has the log in name

“manager” and the password is “friend”.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

Password: friend

The command prompt appears and you can now use the CLI to configure

the switch controller.

Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with

the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the

new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

5. Load help files

To access help, enter:

set help=help-filename

where help-filename is the name of a help file stored in flash.

To see a list of files stored in flash, enter:

show file

Help files have an HLP extension.

To display a list of help topics, enter:

help

To display help on a specific topic, enter:

help topic

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed

command to see a list of valid options.

See the SwitchBlade Software Reference for more information on configuring

the switch.

Using the GUI to configure a switch controller

The GUI can be accessed through ETH0 on the master switch controller.

ETH0 has a default IP address of 192.168.242.242 and a mask of

255.255.255.0.

If another device on your network already uses 192.168.242.242, do not connect

ETH0 to the network until you have changed the default address. The address

can be changed using ASYN0 and the CLI.

10 SwitchBlade Switch Controller

C613-04031-01 REV B

For instructions on using ASYN0 and the CLI to change ETH0’s IP address,

see the “Graphical User Interface” section in the “Operations” chapter of

the SwitchBlade Software Reference.

1. Connect a PC to ETH0

Use a straight-through Ethernet patch cable to connect your PC to ETH0 on

the master switch controller. Two straight-through Ethernet patch cables

are supplied with each chassis.

The PC should be running Internet Explorer version 5.x, with JavaScript

enabled. A copy of Internet Explorer can be found on the Documentation

and Tools CD-ROM that is bundled with every chassis and every switch

controller.

If two switch controllers are installed, and the switch has not yet been connected to a

power supply, the switch controller in Bay A will assume master controller status. In all

cases the master controller is the controller whose Master LED is lit.

2. Access the GUI

Assign the PC an IP address in the 192.168.242.0 subnet.

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to

bypass the proxy for 192.168.242.242.

Point your web browser at 192.168.242.242.

3. Log in

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

User Name: manager

Password: friend

The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure

the switch controller.

To ensure configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI pages’ menus and

buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.

As a security precaution, change the password and default IP address as soon

as possible.

To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar

menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.

To change ETH0’s IP address, select Configuration > System >

Management from the sidebar menu.

4. To access context-sensitive help

Click on the Help Button [Help] on each page.
