Recognizing that networking require- ments vary from business to business — with differing needs at the Edge, Core and Distribution Layer, Nortel offers the highly flexible Ethernet Routing Switch Series ERS ; encom- passing the original models and the new models, combining to offer a versatile portfolio of ten models.
This provides Enterprises the ability to choose the model that best fits their networking requirements see Table 1 for details. This is unprecedented in the Industry and ensures optimal performance for delay- sensitive application traffic traversing the Stack. Page of 16 Go. Once downloaded, the configuration file automatically configures the switch or stack according to the NNCLI commands in the file.
This feature provides administrators with the flexibility of creating command configuration files that can be used on several switches or stacks with minor modifications.
This editable ASCII configuration file can then be uploaded to a switch from an external file server. The ASCII configuration file contains configuration settings for the following network management applications:. No one knows stacking like Avaya. We introduced our first Stackable Chassis product in and have been perfecting the technology ever since. We differentiate ourselves by ensuring that our Stackable Chassis performs like a modular chassis implementation.
Our products offer genuine chassis-like features including true pay-as-you-grow scaling and in service maintenance and restoration. Not all Series switches have a USB port on the rear panel. Consult the documentation provided with the USB drive to ensure compliance with these standards. The switch housing of a Series Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch is not strong enough to support the weight of these units. Page 32 You connect the switches in the stack by the stack connectors. You designate one unit as the base unit by setting a switch on the back panel.
Page 33 stack up or cascade down stack down. This designation depends on the stack cabling arrangement. The Unit Select switch is used to designate a switch in the stack as a base or non-base unit.
Sliding the switch to the right designates that switch as the base unit. Page 34 When a switch participates in a stack configuration, a stack MAC address is automatically assigned during stack initialization. Page 35 A RS communications cable can be attached to the console port of any switch in the stack to establish a console connection. Page 36 36 Installation fundamentals Figure 4 Cascade down configuration Attention: Since many network management software packages assume a cascade down stack down configuration, Nortel recommends the usage of this configuration.
For stack installation procedures, see Cascade up In a cascade up stack up configuration, the base unit is physically located as the top unit in the stack. Page 37 In addition to increasing bandwidth, the software uses the cables to provide two paths between units.
If one path breaks the data travels over the remaining path with half the normal inter-switch bandwidth. Table 2 Switch cabling requirements Required cable Information contained in the Release Notes takes precedence over any information contained in this document. The following table lists the power specifications for the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch Table Installation tasks include the procedures required to bring the switch online.
The procedures reflect the recommended method to install the Series switch in the simplest way, with necessary safety precautions. Page Installation Preparation "Verifying the contents of the box" page 64 Switch placement This task flow shows the sequence of procedures you perform to place the switch.
