Control features
Serial management interface (console port)
The serial management interface allows you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a
directly connected PC. A straight-through EIA/TIA DB-9 serial cable (M or F) ships with the device. The serial management interface
(the console port) is located in the left corner of the front panel.

POE applications
FWS POE devices provide Power over Ethernet (POE), compliant with the standards described in the IEEE 802.3af specification for
delivering in-line power. The 802.3af specification defines the standard for delivering power over existing network cabling infrastructure,
offering multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services, such as Voice over IP (VoIP), WLAN
access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IP technology devices.
POE technology eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and dedicated UPS near IP powered devices. With power sourcing devices,
such as the Brocade FWS624-POE and FWS648-POE, power is consolidated and centralized in the wiring closets, improving the
reliability and resiliency of the network. Because POE can provide power over Ethernet cable, power is continuous, even in the event of a
power failure.
For more information about POE and how to configure it on FWS devices, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

FastIron WS network interfaces
FWS624 and FWS648 devices provide the following interfaces:

•
•

10/100 Mbpsports with RJ-45 copper connectors (Ports 5~24 or Ports 5~48)
10/100/1000 RJ-45 or 100/1000 SFP (1-GE) combo ports (Ports 1~4)

FWS624G and FWS648G devices provide the following interfaces:

•
•

10/100/1000 Mbps ports with RJ-45 copper connectors (Ports 5~24 or Ports 5~48)
10/100/1000 RJ-45 or 100/1000 SFP (1-GE) combo ports (Ports 1~4)

FastIron WS 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports
These devices contain 24/48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “Pinouts and signalling” on page 49.) Brocade recommends using MDIX cable for
switch-to-switch connections.
Because each port supports auto-negotiation, the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000
Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication
mode of that port can be configured manually.

Installing FWS624 and FWS648 Models
Installation precautions

Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40o C
(104o F).

Make sure the air flow around the front and sides of the device is not restricted.

Never leave tools inside the device.

Lifting precautions

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.

Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power precautions

Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.

To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.

21

Installing FWS624 and FWS648 Models
Preparing the installation site

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 (amp) 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 input power connectors.

Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

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.

Preparing the installation site
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed at the site. Refer to Chapter 5, “Hardware Specifications” or www.brocade.com for a summary
of supported cabling types and their specifications.

RPS12 external redundant power supply
The external redundant power supply (RPS12) can supply backup power to one of four connected devices in the event of an AC loss or
failure of an internal power supply. The system supplies the failed device with up to 120 W for primary 12 VDC power, and up to 780 W
of -54 VDC PoE power (for PoE devices connected to the failed device).
The RPS12 monitors the power status for all attached devices and provides power to first device with a detected power failure. The
RPS12 supports the full load of the device without affecting network operation. When the RPS12 is supplying power to a device, it cannot
provide power to other connected devices.
When a device fails, the RPS12 sends status information to the other connected devices, which then communicate the status of the
RPS12 to network management software.
The following devices are supported by the FastIron RPS12:

•

Installing FWS624 and FWS648 Models
Installing a redundant power supply

Selecting a redundant power supply installation site
RPS2-EIF and RPS12 power supplies can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow these
guidelines when choosing a location.

Do not place a redundant power supply on the floor as the case is not waterproof. It is recommended that
either of the redundant power supplies be installed in a network equipment rack.

Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while
a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a
power source.)
The installation site should meet these requirements:

•
•
•
•
•
•

Be at the center of all the devices you want to link, and near a power outlet.
Maintain temperatures within 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and humidity levels within 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
Provide adequate space (approximately 5.08 cm (2 inches) on all sides for proper air flow.
Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.
Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of
electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.

•

Provide a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device,
and is powered from an independent circuit breaker.

•

As with any electrical equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Equipment checklist
When you unpack the RPS2-EIF or RPS12 power supply, make sure you have received all the components. (Refer to “Package contents”
on page 26.) Before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.

Optional rack-mounting equipment
If you plan to rack-mount a redundant power supply, have the following equipment available:

•
•

Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install (screws are not included)
A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)

Mounting a redundant power supply in a rack

verifying that it passes the self test.
1.

Connect the power cord supplied with the device to the power connector on the power supply on the rear of the device.

2.

Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
NOTE
FastIron 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 use a power cord that
displays 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.

Verify that the LED for the power supply is green.

4.

Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs.
LEDs for linked ports will come on during the boot process, then all LEDs will go off. Once the boot sequence is complete, LEDs
for linked ports will again come on.
For more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up, refer to the section, “LEDs” on page 26.

Attaching a PC or terminal
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the text-based command line interface (CLI). The CLI is described in detail in the
FastIron Configuration Guide. You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP
address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web Management Interface, or IronView Network Manager.

Checking Connectivity
Assigning permanent passwords
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly recommends assigning passwords. Refer to
the FastIron Configuration Guide.
NOTE
You cannot assign a password using the Web Management Interface. You can assign passwords using IronView Network
Manager if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.
The CLI contains the following access levels:

•

User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but you
cannot configure system or port parameters.

•

Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can perform tasks such as
manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.

•

CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system IP address and configure switching and routing
features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.

You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:

•

Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only
password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.

•
•

Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.
Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.

Set passwords.
1.

At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
Brocade>enable

2.

Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#

3.

Enter the following command to set the super-user password.
Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password

NOTE
You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.
4.

Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords.
Brocade(config)# enable port-config-password 
Brocade(config)# enable read-only-password 

NOTE
If you forget your super-user password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password” on page 40.

Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password 
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.

Recovering from a lost password
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for the device but the password has
been lost, you can regain super-user access to the device using the following procedure.
NOTE
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
Recover from a lost password.
1.

Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.

2.

Reboot the device.

3.

While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.

4.

Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)

5.

Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.

After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Configuring IP addresses
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other
management interfaces.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing
(CIDR) network prefix masks:

•

To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

•

To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the
IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” 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: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the
prefix format. Refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:

•

Ethernet port

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses

•
•

Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or “VE”)
Loopback interface

By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to 128 IP addresses.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Base Layer 3 interface parameters on individual
ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual routing interface itself.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing
(CIDR) network prefix masks:

•

To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

•

To enter a prefix network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address.
For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant bits (ones).

By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to
prefix format.

Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port
To assign an IP address to port 0/1/1, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 0/1/1
Brocade(config-if-0/1/1)# ip address 192.45.6.1 255.255.255.0

NOTE
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows.
Brocade(config-if-0/1/1)#ip address 192.45.6.1/24

Syntax: [no] ip address  
or

Syntax: [no] ip address /

Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. You can configure up to eight loopback interfaces.
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example.
Brocade(config)# exit
Brocade(config)# int loopback 1
Brocade(config-lbif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24

Syntax: interface loopback 
The  parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 to the maximum number of virtual interfaces
supported on the device. To display the maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values
command. The maximum is listed in the System Parameters section, in the Current column of the virtual-interface row.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses

Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a Base Layer 3 Switch. You can configure
routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 Switch to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other,
without using an external router.
This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.
NOTE
The switch uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 0/1/1) as the MAC address for all ports
within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
To add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP address on the interface, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 0/1/1 to 0/1/4
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24

The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name “IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24” and add a range of
untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two
commands change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.

Syntax: router-interface ve 
Syntax: interface ve 

Deleting an IP address
To delete an IP address, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-if-0/1/1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1

This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-if-0/1/1)# no ip address *

Syntax: no ip address  | *

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses

Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is
required (Figure 1 and Figure 2). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover
cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two
1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well. For more
information about this feature, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses

Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers through fiber ports. Refer to “Connecting a network
device to a fiber port” on page 45.

Automatic MDI or MDIX detection
All 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet Copper ports on the Brocade FastIron WS devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI)
and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gigabit copper ports by default.
For each port, you can disable auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
For more information about this feature and how configure it, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the Brocade device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, fiber cabling with an LC connector is required.
To connect the Brocade device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following:

•
•

Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or mini-GBIC)
Cable the fiber optic module

The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.

Installing a fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP) in each SFP slot you want to use.
You can install a new fiber optic module in an SFP slot while the FastIron WS CHE1 is powered on and running.
Before installing one of these modules into the slot, have the following on hand.
NOTE
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface. For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series
1 megohm resistor.

All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Install a fiber optic module.
1.

Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.

2.

Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3.

Gently insert the fiber optic module into the slot until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect
insertion.

1.

Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2.

Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. For
more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors” on page 46.

3.

Gently insert the cable connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connectors until the tabs lock into
place.

4.

Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about
the LED indicators, refer to Table 1 on page 47.

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC)) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner that shipped with your FastIron WS
CHE1. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following Web site:
http://www.fisfiber.com/Home_Page.asp
When not using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.

Testing connectivity
You can observe the LEDs related to network connection.

Pinging an IP address
To verify that a FastIron WS device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following at any level of
the CLI on the Brocade device:
Brocade>ping 192.33.4.7

If the other actions do not resolve the problem, try
using a different port or a different cable.

The port is not transmitting or receiving user packets. You
can do the following:

•
•

Check the Link LED to make sure the link is still
established with the remote port. If not, take the
actions described in the Meaning or Action column
for the Link LED.
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 or
IronView Network Manager.

If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Brocade Technical Support.

Tracing a route
To determine the path through which a Brocade device can reach another device, enter a command such as the following at any level of
the CLI on the Brocade device.
Brocade>traceroute 192.33.4.7

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Troubleshooting network connections

Syntax: traceroute  [maxttl ] [minttl ] [numeric] [timeout ]

The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all responses to
a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Brocade device displays up to two responses by
default.

Troubleshooting network connections
Follow these guidelines when troubleshooting your network connections:

•
•
•

For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the Brocade device and the connected device) are snug.
Verify that the Brocade device 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 device is connected to the receive port on the connected
device, and that the receive port on the device 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 or IronView Network Manager.

•

If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Using Virtual Cable Testing to diagnose a cable
FastIron WS devices support Virtual Cable Test (VCT) technology. VCT technology enables you to diagnose a conductor (wire or cable)
by sending a pulsed signal into the conductor, then examining the reflection of that pulse. This method of cable analysis is referred to as
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). By examining the reflection, the Brocade device can detect and report cable statistics such as local
and remote link pair, cable length, and link status.

Configuration notes
Refer to these configuration notes when troubleshooting network connections:

•
•

This feature is supported on copper ports only. It is not supported on fiber ports.

•
•

If the port is operating at 100 Mbps half-duplex, the TDR test on one pair will fail.

The port to which the cable is connected must be enabled when you issue the command to diagnose the cable. If the port is
disabled, the command is rejected.

If the remote pair is set to forced 100 Mbps, any change in MDI or MDIX may cause the device to interpret the Multilevel
Threshold-3 (MLT-3) as a reflected pulse, in which case, the device will report a faulty condition. In this case, Brocade
recommends that you run the TDR test a few times for accurate results.

Command syntax
To diagnose a cable using TDR, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade#phy cable-diag tdr 0/1/1

The above command diagnoses the cable attached to port 0/1/1.

Syntax: phy cable-diag tdr

Digital Optical Monitoring
You can configure your FWS to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by specified port. When this feature is
enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports. Console
messages and syslog messages are sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the SFP manufacturer’s
recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide

Managing FastIron WS temperature settings
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the device and how to change the temperature warning and shutdown
levels.

Using the temperature sensor on the device
The device comes with three built-in temperature sensors, located on the main board of the device. The temperature sensors cause the
device to generate a Syslog message and SNMP trap if the temperature exceeds a specified warning level or shutdown level. If the
device’s temperature exceeds the safe threshold (shutdown level), the device will reboot.
The software reads the temperature sensors according to the device poll time, which is 60 seconds by default. If the temperature equals
or exceeds the shutdown temperature for five consecutive polls of the temperature by the software, the software will reboot the device to
prevent damage.
You can use the CLI or Web Management Interface to perform the following tasks:

•
•
•

Display the temperature of the device
Change the warning and shutdown temperature levels
Change the device poll time

Displaying the temperature on the FastIron WS
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the
device poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other system components.
To display the temperature of a device, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.

Power specifications for POE
The implementation of the 802.3af standard limits power to 15.4W (44V to 57V) from the power sourcing device. This limit complies
with safety standards and existing wiring limitations. Though limited by the 802.3af standard, 15.4 watts of power is ample, as most
powered devices consume an average of 5 to 12 watts of power. IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and network surveillance
cameras each consume an average of 3.5 to 9 watts of power.
Brocade 48-volt power supplies provide power to the POE daughter card, and ultimately to POE power-consuming devices. The
number of POE power-consuming devices that one 48-volt power supply can support depends on the number of watts required by each
device. Each 48-volt power supply provides 410 watts of power for POE, and each POE port supports a maximum of 15.4 watts of
power per POE power-consuming device. For example, if each POE power-consuming device attached to the FWS consumes 12 watts
of power, one 48-volt supply will power up to 34 POE ports.
If your FastIron WS chassis has 48 ports, and each POE-enabled port needs 15.4 watts, then a maximum of 26 ports can supply power
to connected devices.
For power supply specifications, refer to “AC power supply specifications” on page 62. For POE configuration procedures, refer to the
FastIron Configuration Guide.

Power and cooling problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or
internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges
at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the
problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact Technical Support for assistance.

Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the
power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning
properly.

In-band access
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other
network management software. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If
you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you
entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not
been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.

Caution and Danger Notices
Cautions

Table 0.4:
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
(amp) 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 input power connectors.

VORSICHT

Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät überbelastet
werden. Addieren Sie die Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte, die am selben
Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie feststellen, ob die Gefahr einer
Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen Sie diese Summe mit der
Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme (in Ampere) stehen
normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben den Eingangsstromanschlüssen.

MISE EN GARDE

Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le
câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des circuits
d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les dispositifs installés sur
le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la limite de charge
du circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement imprimée sur chaque
dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée d'alimentation.

PRECAUCIÓN

Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la
protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los circuitos de
suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de todos los instrumentos
instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma con el límite nominal
para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas están generalmente
impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los conectores de corriente de entrada.

Table 0.5:
CAUTION

Use the erase startup-config command 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.

VORSICHT

Verwenden Sie den Befehl "Erase startup-config" (Löschen Startup-Konfig) nur für neue
Systeme. Wenn Sie diesen Befehl in ein bereits konfiguriertes System eingeben, löscht der
Befehl die Konfiguration. Falls Sie aus Versehen die Konfiguration eines bereits
konfigurierten Systems löschen, geben Sie den Befehl "Write Memory" (Speicher schreiben)
ein, um die laufende Konfiguration in der Startup-Konfig-Datei zu speichern.

MISE EN GARDE

N'utilisez la commande erase startup-config que pour les nouveaux systèmes. Si vous
entrez cette commande sur un système que vous avez déjà configuré, elle efface la
configuration. Si vous effacez la configuration par accident sur un système configuré, entrez
la commande write memory pour enregistrer la configuration actuelle dans le fichier
startup-config.

PRECAUCIÓN

Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas nuevos
solamente. Si usted introduce este comando en un sistema que ya ha configurado, el
comando borrará la configuración. Si usted borra accidentalmente la configuración en un
sistema ya configurado, introduzca el comando write memory (escribir memoria) para
guardar la configuración en ejecución en el archivo startup-config.

Table 0.6:
CAUTION
