2.13. Configuring Device Management

Function Introduction

User can manage the switch through the management port. The switch has two management ports: an Ethernet port and a console port.

Principle Description

N/A

Configuring console port for management

The default console parameters of switch are:

• Baud rate default is 115200.

• Data bits default is 8.

• Stop bits default is 1.

• Parity settings default is none.

Before you can assign switch information, make sure you have connected a PC or terminal to the console port, and configured the PC or terminal software parameters to match the default console port parameters. After login in the switch, you can modify the console parameters.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# speed 19200

Switch(config-line)# end

Configuring out band Ethernet port for management

In order to manage device by out band Ethernet port, you should configure management ip address first by console port.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# management ip address 10.10.38.106/24
Switch(config)# management ipv6 address 2001:1000::1/96

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show management ip address
Management IP address is: 10.10.38.106/24
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Switch# show management ipv6 address
Management IPv6 address is: 2001:1000::1/96
Gateway: ::

Configuring Temperature

The switch supports temperature alarm management. You can configure three temperature thresholds: low, high and critical. When switch temperature is lower than low threshold or higher than higher threshold, the switch will be alarm. If the switch temperature is higher than critical threshold, the switch will cut off its power automatically.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# temperature 5 70 90

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show environment

Sensor status (Degree Centigrade):
Index Temperature Lower_alarm Upper_alarm Critical_limit
1 50 5 70 90

Configuring Fan

The switch supports to manage fan automatically. If the fan is fail or the fan tray is absent, the switch will be alarm. And if the fan tray supports speed-adjust, the switch can adjust the fan speed depending on the real-time temperature. The switch has three temperature thresholds:

Tlow=50, Thigh=65 and Tcrit=80 Celsius scales. If Temperature > Thigh, the fan will run on 100% speed rate. And there has a temperature hysteresis Thyst=2 Celsius scales. Assuming temperature has previously crossed above Tlow, Thigh or Tcrit, then the temperature must drop below the points corresponding Thyst(Tlow-Thyst, Thigh-Thyst or Tcrit-Thyst) in order for the condition to drive fan speed rate to lower level. For example:

• temperature is 58 Celsius scales, the fan speed rate is 30%; (Tlow<58<Thigh)

• temperature increases to 65 Celsius scales, the fan speed rate is 70%;(Thigh=65)

• temperature decreases to 63 Celsius scales, the fan speed rate is still 70%;(Thigh-Thyst =63)

• temperature decreases to 62 Celsius scales, the fan speed rate is 30%;(62<Thigh-Thyst)

The Tlow, Thigh, Tcrit, Thyst and fan speed rate for each temperature threshold are hard code, and couldn’t be modified.

Configuring Power

The switch supports to manage power status automatically. If the power is failed or the fan in power is failed, the switch will be alarm. If power is removed or inserted, the switch will notice user also.

User can show the power status to verify the power status.

Configuring Transceiver

The switch supports manage the transceiver information, and the transceiver information includes basic information and diagnostic information. The basic information includes transceiver type, vendor name, PN, S/N, wavelength and link length for supported type. The diagnostic information includes real-time temperature, voltage, current, optical transmit power, optical receive power and the threshold about these parameters. If the transceiver is inserted or removed, the real-time parameter is out of threshold, the switch will notice the users.

User can show the transceiver information to verify this function.
