Frequently Asked Questions - ProCurve 5400zl HP

How do I connect a console to the ProCurve 5400zl switch?

Use the supplied serial cable to connect a PC or VT-100 terminal to the Console Port on the front of the switch. Configure the terminal emulator for VT-100, 9600 baud (auto-sensing), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, flow control none.

What does the Fault LED indicate?

A blinking Fault LED indicates a fault condition on the switch, a module, port, power supply, or fan. The specific component's status LED will also flash simultaneously. If the Fault LED stays on for over 120 seconds during self-test, a failure has occurred.

Can I install modules while the switch is running?

Yes, most modules are hot-swappable. However, if you replace a module with a different type, you must reboot the switch after installation. The management module is not hot-swappable.

How do I set an IP address for remote management?

Connect a console and run the setup command. In the Switch Setup screen, set IP Config to Manual, then enter the IP address and subnet mask. Save the configuration. Alternatively, use DHCP/Bootp by leaving IP Config at default.

What is the maximum PoE power available?

With the 875 W power supply (J8712A), up to 273 W for PoE. With the 1500 W supply (J8713A) at 220 V, up to 900 W for PoE. The external Power Supply Shelf (EPS) can add up to 1800 W.

How do I restore factory defaults?

Press and hold the Clear button on the front panel while pressing and releasing the Reset button, then continue holding Clear for at least one second. Release Clear. The switch will reboot with factory defaults.

What cable types are supported for 10/100/1000BASE-T ports?

Category 5 or better UTP/STP cable, up to 100 meters. The ports support Auto MDI/MDI-X, so either straight-through or crossover cables work when in auto-negotiation mode.

How do I replace a failed fan tray?

The fan tray is hot-swappable. Loosen the retaining screws, pull the assembly out about one inch and wait 20 seconds for fans to stop, then remove completely. Install the new tray immediately (within 2 minutes) to avoid overheating. Tighten screws.

Can I use the switch with 200-240 V only?

The J8712A power supply accepts 100-127 V or 200-240 V automatically. The J8713A power supply works only with 200-240 V. Both are 50/60 Hz.

What does the Test LED behavior indicate?

During self-test, the Test LED stays green and turns off when the test passes. If it remains blinking or stays orange, a component has failed self-test. The Fault and relevant module LEDs will also flash.

^1 The blinking behavior is an on/off cycle once every 1.6 seconds, approximately. ^2 The blinking behavior is an on/off cycle once every 0.5 seconds, approximately.

Table 1-2. Switch Module LEDs

These LEDs are located on the modules themselves, one pair for each port.

LED State Meaning
Link	On	Indicates the port is enabled and receiving a link beat signal (for the twisted-pair ports), or a strong enough light level (for the fiber-optic ports) from the connected device.
	Off One of these conditions exists:
	Blinking1	• no active network cable is connected to the port• the port is not receiving link beat or sufficient light• the port has been disabled through the switch console, the web browser interface, ProCurve Manager, or other network management tool.The port has failed self test. The switch Fault, Self Test LEDs, and appropriate module status LEDs will flash simultaneously.
Mode	Depending on the mode selected, displays the following: network activity information, whether the port is configured for Full Duplex operation, maximum speed operation, or whether PoE power is being supplied or not. See “LED Mode Select Button and Indicator LEDs” below for more information.
1The blinking behavior is an on/off cycle once every 1.6 seconds, approximately.

LED Mode Select Button and Indicator LEDs

To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each of the switch ports, the Series 5400zl Switches use a Mode LED for each port. The operation of this LED is controlled by the LED Mode Select button on the switch chassis, and the current selection is indicated by the mode indicator LEDs near the button. Press the button to change from one mode to the next.

Figure 1-6. Mode LEDs and LED Mode Select Button

■If the Activity in Actator LED is lit, each port Mode LED displays activity information for the port—it flickers as network traffic is received and transmitted through the port.
■If the Full Duplex in FDXtor LED is lit, the port Mode LEDs light for those ports that are operating in full duplex.
If the speed Spd indicator LED is lit, the port LEDs behave as follows to indicate the connection speed for the port:

• Off = 10 Mbps
• Blinking = 100 Mbps (the blinking behavior is a repeated on/off cycle once every 0.5 sec.)
• On = 1000 Mbps

■If the PoE in PoEator LED is lit, the Link and Mode LEDs indicate PoE status:

Link LED:

• On = PoE is enabled on this port

• Off = PoE is disabled on this port.

• Slow Blinking = Internal PoE fault on this port.

• Fast Blinking = This port is denied PoE power or has an external load fault.

Mode LED:

- On = PoE power is be supplied on this port

- Off = PoE is not being supplied on this port.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Series 5400zl Switches”. The console is a full-featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device emulating a VT-100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.

Reset Button

This button will reset the switch when powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface, and through SNMP network management applications, such as ProCurve Manager.

Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. In this case, the switch must be reset to initialize the new module type. See “Hot Swapping Switch Modules” on page 2-28.

Clear Button

This button is used for the following purposes:

■ Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.

■ Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Reset button in a specific pattern, the Clear button clears any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default configuration to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.

Back of the Switch

Figure 1-7. Back of a 5406zl Switch with One Power Supply

Figure 1-8. Back of a 5412zl Switch with two Power Supplies

Power Connector

The Series 5400zl Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The Series 5400zl Switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts when using the J8712A power supply, and 200-240 volts only when using the J8713A power supply, and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Redundant Power Supply

Load-sharing redundant power supplies (ProCurve Switch zl 875 W Power Supply, J8712A or a ProCurve Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply J8713A) can be installed in the back of the Series 5400zl Switches. To provide redundancy, each power supply should be connected to different AC power sources. Then, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run.

Caution

The switch redundant power supply is hot swappable, but, as indicated by the caution statement on the power supply, it must be disconnected from AC power before being installed or removed.

CAUTION: · Refer to the Installation guide for proper power cord selection · Disconnect AC power from the power supply BEFORE Installing or removing the supply. Otherwise, damage to the equipment may result.

Because the switch can run on a single supply, removing a redundant supply will not interrupt switch operation. However, on the 5412zl one power supply will only supply enough power to run the module slots A-F. Slots G-L will not receive any power unless there are at least two power supplies installed. For more information regarding power see the:

■ ProCurve Switch zl Internal Power Supply Installation Guide.
■ ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products Planning and Implementation Guide.

Installation Procedures

Summary

Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.

1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-7). Make sure the physical environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See page 2-6 for some installation precautions.
2. Install switch modules (page 2-9). The Series 5400zl Switches have six or 12 universal slots for installing any of the ProCurve Switch zl modules. The Switch 5406zl-48G has two 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules preinstalled and the 5412zl-96G has four 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules preinstalled. Depending on where you will install your Series 5400zl Switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so they can also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.

Note Make sure you use only ProCurve Switch zl Modules in your Series 5400zl Switches.

1. Install power supplies (page 2-12). The Series 5406zl Switches supports up to two power supplies. It may be easier to install the power supplies before mounting the switch. The switch must have at least one power supply to operate.
2. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-15). This is a simple process of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs on the switch's front panel and on the modules show correct operation. It may be easier to verify if the switch passes self test before mounting the switch.
3. Mount the switch (page 2-17). The Series 5400zl Switches can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface. An optional Rail Mounting Kit (5070-0145) is available for mounting Series 5400zl Switches in a cabinet suitable for shipping. See the installation details for more information.
4. Install the Grounding Wire (page 2-21). If a grounding wire is to be attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches

Installation Procedures

1. Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-21). Once the switch is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.
2. Connect a Power Supply Shelf (optional—page 2-22). You may wish to use a Power Supply Shelf with your switch. To do so you must connect the external power supply using the EPS cables supplied with the Power Supply Shelf.
3. Connect the network devices (page 2-25). Using the appropriate network cables, connect other switches, hubs, routers, computers, servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports. For more information, see “Connect the Network Devices” on page 2-25.

Note

The 10/100/1000-T ports on the zl Modules comply with IEEE 802.3x standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. This feature allows you to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your twisted-pair network connections.

1. Connect a console to the switch (optional—page 2-26). You may wish to modify the switch's configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a web browser or from an SNMP network management station. Configuration changes can be made easily through the switch's console interface.

At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installation PrecautionsFollow these precautions when installing your Series 5400zl Switch:

WARNING

■Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.■ Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power supply or module slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. Never have more than one power supply or module slot uncovered at a time while the switch is powered on.■To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part of your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign object to enter any module or power supply slots.■This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the unit.

Installation Precautions (continued)

Cautions

■If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, use only an HP 10000 series rack and a rail mounting kit (5070-0145) for each switch.
■ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch's current requirements. In addition, be sure to 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 switch and power supply.
■ When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
■ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. Each power supply should be connected to a dedicated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
■ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 55^ C ( 131^ F) ^1 .
- Allow three to four inches of space around the sides and back of the switch to make sure the air flow for the switch is not restricted.

1. Prepare the Installation Site

Cabling Infrastructure

Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications. See the following table for cable types and lengths, and see appendix B, "Switch Ports and Network Cables" on page B-1 for more information:

Installation Location

Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment:

In the front of the switch, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
In the back of the switch, allow at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) of space for the power cord and cooling.
■On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.

2. Install Switch Modules

Install switch modules into the slots as shown in the illustration below. For installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the module.

Caution Make sure you install only ProCurve Switch zl Modules.

Avoid any electrostatic discharge problems by handling the modules only by their bulkheads.

The slot cover can be removed, and the module can be installed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use.

Module Installation Notes

■Any of the supported Switch zl Modules can be installed in any of the slots.
The modules can be “hot swapped”, installed after the switch is already powered on, and normally will be immediately operational. But, if you are replacing a module with a different type than what was previously installed in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the module is installed. See “Hot Swapping the Switch Module” on page 2-28.
■ Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into the slot using the extractor handles, until the bulkhead on the module is contacting the front face of the switch chassis.
■ Once the module is fully inserted, screw in the two retaining screws to secure the module in place. The screws should be tightened until they are secure, but not overtightened.
■If you do not use one or more of the slots, ensure the slot cover plate is still attached over the slot for safe operation and proper switch cooling. For safety, you should not have more than one module slot uncovered at a time.
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures

Figure 2-1. Module Being Installed in a Chassis

Figure 2-2. Generic Chassis with Module Fully Installed

3. (Optional) Install Another Power Supply

Caution

The Series 5400zl switches are designed to provide continuously operating PoE power in the event of a single power supply failure with only a loss of PoE power to lower priority ports.

If more than one power supply fails while the switch is at or near maximum operating power (that is: the sum total of all PoE supply capacity minus the largest supply, see chapter 2 and 4 of the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products), loss of all PoE power may result.

To return PoE power to the ports, without causing the switch to reboot, when there are two or more power supplies still supplying 12V power, unplug the power cord for 5 seconds and replug it for each power supply one at a time.

Another, load-sharing redundant power supply (either a ProCurve Switch zl 875 W Power Supply (J8712A), or a ProCurve Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) can be installed in the back of the switch. The 5406zl can hold up to two power supplies and the 5412zl can hold up to four power supplies.

The 875 W Power Supply (J8712A) can supply up to 273 watts for PoE power. The 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) can supply up to 900 watts at 220 volts for PoE power.

To prevent overloading of the building circuits breakers, the second power supply must be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. This also helps with redundancy, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run.

Install the second power supply into power slot number 2 as shown in Figure 2-3. Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

The slot cover can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screw-driver. Retain the slot cover for future use.

Caution

The switch power supplies are hot swappable; they can be installed while the switch is receiving power from the supply in the other slot. But, as indicated by the caution statement on the power supply, the supply must not be connected to AC power before being installed or removed.

For safety and proper switch cooling, if either of the power supply slots are not being used, make sure to attach the cover plate over the slot. Please see the "Installation Precautions" on page 2-6 for more information.

For installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the power supply.

Insert the power supply into the opening, then slide it all the way in until it connects to the switch. The power supply face plate will be flush with the back face of the switch.

Figure 2-3. Installing a Power Supply

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures

Once the power supply is installed, tighten the four retaining screws that hold it in place. The screws can be tightened with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Be careful not to overtighten the screws.

Figure 2-4. Back of Switch with Power Supply Fully Installed

4. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test

After you have installed any modules and the optional second power supply, but before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes its self test.

If you have installed a second power supply, repeat these procedures with the second power supply to verify it works correctly also.

1. Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Figure 2-5. Power Connector on Back of Switch

Note

The Series 5400zl Switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source.

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, please see the "Installation Precautions" on page 2-6.

1. Check the LEDs on the switch and on each of the switch modules. The LED behavior is described on the next page.

If the LED display is different than what is described, especially if the Fault LED stays on for more than approximately 120 seconds or it starts blinking, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4, "Troubleshooting" for diagnostic help.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures

Figure 2-6. Switch Fault, Module, and Chassis LEDs

When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The entire download, initialization, and self test process can take up to 2 minutes for a fully loaded chassis, depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch.

LED Behavior:

During the self test:

■ Initially, Power, Fault, Locator, and all the switch chassis LEDs are on. Then, after approximately 30 seconds, all the module LEDs go on as the modules receive power and code is downloaded to them, the Fault LED goes off, and the chassis LEDs turn orange and then go off except Test, Fan, and Power, which turn green.
■ When the download of code to the modules is completed, the module LEDs go off. You may see each port LED go on briefly, in sequence, as the port is tested.
■ For the duration of the self test, the Test LED stays on.

When the test completes successfully:

■ The Power LED stays on, and the Status LEDs on the switch chassis stay on for the devices installed: one for each switch module installed, one for each power supply installed, and one for all the fans.
■ The Fault, Locator, and Test LEDs are off.
■The port LEDs on the switch modules go into their normal operational mode:

• If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link LEDs stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode selected. In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LEDs should flicker showing network activity on the port.
• If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs will stay off.

5. Mount the Switch

After the modules and optional power supply are installed and you have verified the switch passes self test, you are ready to mount the switch in a stable location. The Series 5400zl Switches can be mounted in these ways:

■in a rack or cabinet
■on a horizontal surface

Rack or Cabinet Mounting

The Series 5400zl Switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet. If you are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet, read the following “Equipment Cabinet Note” on page 2-17.

Equipment Cabinet Note

If you are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet, in place of the 12-24 screws supplied with the switch, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet. Plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips and partially install the two bottom screws, as described in step 2 on the previous page, before proceeding to step 3.

WARNING

For safe operation, please read the “Installation Precautions” on page 2-5 and page 2-6 before mounting the switch.

1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to the switch with the included 8-mm M4 screws.
   For the Switch 5406zl, each bracket is attached with four screws as shown in the following illustration.
   Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures

Figure 2-7. Attaching Brackets to the 5400zl Switch

1. Partially install a screw into the top hole of a pair of holes that are 0.5 inches apart in each rack/cabinet upright as shown in the illustration below. Ensure that the screws are at the same level in each upright.

Figure 2-8. Mounting Screw Positioning

1. Place the switch in the rack and lower it so the notches in the bottom of the bracket slide onto the screws, then tighten these screws.

Figure 2-9. Notches in Bracket Being Installed

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches Installation Procedures

1. Install the other screw into the upper hole in each bracket. Tighten these screws.

Figure 2-10. Screws in Bracket Being Installed

Horizontal Surface Mounting

Place the switch on a table or other horizontal surface. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and switch power cord to the table legs or other part of the surface structure to help prevent people from tripping over the cords.

Note

Ensure the air flow is not restricted around the sides and back of the switch.

6. Install the Grounding Wire

If a grounding wire is to be attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.

1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and remove the grounding lug and two screws from the back of the switch.
2. Crimp the grounding lug to a properly grounded grounding wire.
3. Re-attach the grounding lug to the switch with the two screws.

Figure 2-11. Attaching Grounding Lug to the 5400zl Switch

7. Connect the Switch to a Power Source

1. Plug the included power cord into the switch's power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.

If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power supply from the redundant AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is, protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the switch will lose all power.

1. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See "LED Behavior" on page 2-16.

8. (Optional) Connect a Power Supply Shelf to the switch

1. Connect the supplied external power supply (EPS) cables to the switch and to the Power Supply Shelf.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on all connectors to prevent any accidental disconnects.
3. Plug the power supply cords into the power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.

The ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf, (J8714A), hereafter referred to as the EPS, is an accessory product for the Series 5400zl switches. The EPS provides External Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power for up to two 5400zl switch products.

The EPS can supply up to 1800 watts (depending upon which power supplies are installed) of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply should fail, or as additional PoE power to be made available to the switch's PoE ports. For further information regarding the EPS PoE capabilities, see the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products Planning and Implementation Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started Guide, which are on the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com. See page 5-1 for details.

The EPS is an unmanaged power supply that only provides information by way of LEDs.

EPS Operation

The EPS has a mechanism for detecting that it is connected to a valid switch with an EPS cable. When the EPS is connected to a powered switch it will provide additional PoE power to the switch within 2 seconds.

Caution Disconnecting the EPS (PoE power) cable with power flowing is not supported, and could cause loss of PoE power to all network devices connected to the switch. The Power Supply Shelf must be powered down before disconnecting the EPS (PoE power) cable, if power is flowing. Only the power supply to be disconnected must be powered down. The EPS cable may be connected at any time.

Operating Characteristics of the EPS (J8714A)

The Power Supply Shelf has two EPS Ports. The EPS can provide a maximum of up to 900 watts of PoE power to each of the two EPS ports depending on which power supply is used. It is important to understand the PoE power requirements of the 5400zl Series switches because if the PoE power is not planned and implemented correctly the end devices connected to the switch ports may not receive power if an internal switch PoE power supply should fail. For further information regarding the Power Supply Shelf PoE capabilities, see the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products Planning and Implementation Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf Installation and Getting Started Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Power Supply Shelf LEDs

The EPS LEDs are duplicated on the front and back of the device. The following graphic shows an example of the front of the EPS. There are two dual colored (green/orange) LEDs for each EPS port:

Although these examples show the EPS connecting to the 5406zl switch, it can also be connected to a 5412zl switch in the same manner. These examples also show the switch and the EPS using the J8713A power supply, the J8712A power supply can also be used. It depends on how much PoE power is required.

For more information on PoE requirements see the Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products, Planning and Implementation Guide.

9. Connect the Network Devices

The type of network connections you will need to use depends on the types of switch modules you have installed in your Series 5400zl Switch. See the documentation accompanying the modules for cabling configurations and procedures for those modules.

In general for all the modules, when a network cable from an active network device is connected to the switch, the Link LED for the switch port should go on. If the Link LED does not go on, use the table below to help solve the problem, and see the module documentation for troubleshooting procedures.

Condition Diagnostic Tip

Port LED is still off when a cable is connected

Try the following procedures:For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection:- for all twisted-pair connections, the RJ-45 connectors on the Series 5400zl Switches allow you to use either straight-through cable or crossover cable when the port is in the “Auto” configuration.- for fiber-optic connections, verify the transmit port on the switch is connected to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.See appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for information on cables.Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change.Verify the connection parameters in the configurations of the switch port and the connected device match. Mismatched configurations are a frequent cause of connection problems. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager network management software to determine the state and configuration of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

10. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch

The Series 5400zl Switches have a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing the following tasks:

■Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity counters
■Modify the switch's configuration
- Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
■Download new software to the switch
■ Add passwords and other security features to control access to the switch from the console, web browser interface, and network management stations

The console can be accessed through these methods:

■ Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console, directly to the switch using the serial cable that comes with the Series 5400zl Switches. If the PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, you can use a readily available 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable, or attach a 9-to-25 pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the cable.
In-Band: Access the console using telnet from a PC or UNIX station on the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp.

The Series 5400zl Switches can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session through the Console Port and one in-band telnet session.

Terminal Configuration

To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a VT-100 or DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal, or use a VT-100 terminal and configure it to operate with these settings:

■ any baud rate from 2400 to 115200 (the switch automatically senses the speed)
■8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to None
■for Windows Terminal program, also disable (unchecked) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option
■for the Hilgrave HyperTerminal program, select the "Terminal keys" option for the "Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys act as" parameter

If you want to operate the console using a different configuration, ensure you change the settings on both the terminal and on the switch. Change the switch settings first, then change the terminal settings, and reestablish the console session.

Direct Console Access

To connect a console to the switch, follow these steps:

1. Connect the PC or terminal to the switch's Console Port using the console cable included with the switch. (If your PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, first attach a 9-pin to 25-pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the console cable.)
2. Turn on the terminal or PC's power and, if using a PC, start the PC terminal program.
3. Press the Enter key two or three times and you will see the copyright page and the message "Press any key to

continue". Press a key, and you will then see the switch console CLI prompt.

Telnet Console Access

To access the switch through a telnet session, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is reachable from the telnet workstation (for example by using a Ping command to the switch's IP address)
2. Start the telnet program and connect to the switch's IP address.
3. The copyright page and the message "Press any key to continue" will display. Press a key, and the switch console CLI prompt will display.

If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time through either a direct connection or a telnet session, see chapter 3, "Getting Started With Switch Configuration" for some basic configuration steps. For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

The switch modules can be “hot swapped” (except for the Management Module, it is not hot swappable), that is installed or replaced while the switch is powered on (See Module Installation Notes on page 2-9). The procedures differ slightly, though between adding new modules to an empty slot or replacing modules with the same type, and exchanging the module with a different type.

Adding or Replacing Modules

If a module has to be replaced with one of the same type, or you are expanding the switch capability by adding a module in a slot where one was not previously installed (since the last switch reboot), the replaced or new module is immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.

Changing the Module Type

If you exchange a module with a different type of module though, for example a 10/100/1000-T zl Module is installed in place of a 4 port 10G X2 Module that was in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the new module is installed so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.

You can reboot the switch by any of the following methods:

■Pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch.

■ Unplugging and plugging in the power cord (power cycle). If two power supplies are installed, both power cords would have to be unplugged.

■ Issuing the boot command from the switch console CLI, or selecting the boot Switch option from the switch console menu, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager.

Until the switch is rebooted, the module will not operate and the Module Status LED for the affected slot will continue to flash.

Example Network Topologies

This section shows a few example network topologies in which the Series 5400zl Switches can be implemented. Although these examples show the 6-slot chassis, the principles are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

Figure 2-15. Basic Switch Connectivity

The Series 5400zl Switches can provide basic network connectivity to a high number of PoE devices. These devices can be easily connected, as shown in the above illustration.

Use as an Edge Switch

When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond the edge of the local network, the Series 5400zl Switches are excellent platforms for that expansion. With the flexibility of 6 slots, the high port count 10/100/1000-Tzl Modules for local connections, and the availability of Gigabit speeds on both copper and fiber cables, the Series 5400zl Switches can provide that access beyond the edge for a high number of network users.

In the above illustration, two Switch 5406zls are connected to a ProCurve Routing Switch 9308, which can serve as a campus backbone or core switch.

The 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connections between the two Switch 5406zls and the Routing Switch 9308 is by way of Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs installed in the mini-GBIC port on the 20 port Gig-T plus 4 mini-GBIC zl Module in the Switch 5406zls and Gigabit-LX ports on the Routing Switch 9308. With the Gigabit-LX connections, the distance between the Switch 5406zls and the Routing Switch 9308 can be up to ten kilometers.

The connections are trunked, through a configuration change on the Switch 5406zl, to provide redundancy and load sharing for higher bandwidth.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

This chapter is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.

For more information on using the switch console and the other switch management interfaces: the web browser interface and the SNMP management tool, ProCurve Manager, please see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Recommended Minimal Configuration

In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask, and no passwords. In this state, it can be managed only through a direct console connection. To manage the switch through in-band (networked) access, you should configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure a Manager password to control access privileges from the console and web browser interface. Other parameters in the Switch Setup screen can be left at their default settings or you can configure them with values you enter.

Many other features can be configured through the switch's console interface, to optimize the switch's performance, to enhance your control of the network traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been configured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently through a remote Telnet session, through the switch's web browser interface, and from an SNMP network management station running a network management program, such as ProCurve Manager. For a listing of switch features available with and without an IP address, refer to "How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation" in the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

For more information on IP addressing, refer to “IP Configuration” in the Management and Configuration Guide.

Note

By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual method described in this chapter, see "DHCP/Bootp Operation" in the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Using the Switch Setup Screen

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password protection in your network is to use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup screen.

1. Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).

The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number, for example:

ProCurve 5400zl#

1. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup screen. The following illustration is an example of a Setup screen with default settings.

Figure 3-1. Switch Setup Screen

1. Use the Tab key to select the Manager Password field and enter a manager password of up to 16 characters.
2. Tab to the IP Config (DHCP/Bootp) field and use the Space bar to select the Manual option.
3. Tab to the IP Address field and enter the IP address that is compatible with your network.

4. Tab to the Subnet Mask field and enter the subnet mask used for your network.

5. Press Enter, then S (for Save).

The following is information on the fields in the Setup screen. For more information on these fields, see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Parameter Default

System Name blank Optional; up to 25 characters, including spaces
System Contact blank Optional; up to 48 characters, including spaces
Manager Password blank Recommended; up to 16 characters (no blank spaces)
Logon Default	CLI	The default setting selects the command line interface for console access. The alternative is the Menu interface.
Time Zone 0 (none) Optional; 1440 to -1440. The number of minutes your location is to the West (-) or East (+) of GMT.
Community Name public Default setting recommended.
Spanning Tree Enabled	No	Default setting recommended unless STP is already running on your network or the switch will be used in complex network topologies.
Default Gateway	blank	Recommended; Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway node if network traffic needs to be able to reach off-subnet destinations.
Time Sync Method	TimeP	Optional; The protocol the switch uses to acquire a time signal. The options are SNTP and TimeP.
TimeP Mode	Disabled	Synchronizes the time kept on the switch to the TimeP server.
IP Config	DHCP/Bootp	Set to Manual unless a DHCP/Bootp server is used on your network to configure IP addressing.
IP Address	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	Recommended; If you set IP Config to Manual, then enter an IP address compatible with your network.
Note: The IP address and subnet mask assigned for the switch must be compatible with the IP addressing used in your network. For more information on IP addressing, see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
Subnet Mask	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	Recommended; If you entered an IP address, then enter a subnet mask compatible with your network.

Where to Go From Here

The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections, you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station using a tool such as ProCurve Manager.

Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP management interfaces and all the features that can be configured on the Series 5400zl Switches, please see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

To Recover from a Lost Manager Password: If you cannot start a console session at the manager level because of a lost Manager password, you can clear all passwords and user names by getting physical access to the switch and pressing and holding the Clear button for a full second.

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management

With your Series 5400zl Switches, you can use the switch's IP address to manage the switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You can use either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the switch.

Starting a Telnet Session

To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example, by using a ping command to the switch's IP address).
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch and connect to the switch's IP address.
3. You will see the copyright page and the message "Press any key to continue". Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command (CLI) prompt, for example (assuming there is no password):

ProCurve 5400zl#

Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed context help information about the command. Entering any command followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in the command entry.

Starting a Web Browser Session

Your Series 5400zl Switch can be managed through a graphical interface that you can access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your web browser and typing in the switch's IP address as the URL. No additional software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included in the switch's onboard software.

An example web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.

Figure 3-2. Switch Web Browser Interface - Status Overview

For more information on using the web browser interface, please see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

An extensive help system is also available for the web browser interface. To access the help system though, the subnet on which the switch is installed must have access to the internet, or ProCurve Manager needs to be installed on a network management station that is on the subnet.

Replacing Components

This chapter shows you how to remove and install the following components:

■ Power supplies (see page 4-2)
■ Fan trays (see page 4-4)
■ Management module (see page 4-5)
■ Management module components Flash Disk (see page 4-6), and Battery (see page 4-7)

For a complete list of parts and part numbers, see page 2-1.

Hot Swapping

The ProCurve Switch 5400zl supports “hot swapping” - the ability to replace the following hardware components while the switch is operating: a fan tray, power supply (if a second power supply is installed), interface module.

The Management module and its components are not hot swappable.

The hot swapping feature allows you to remove or install modules without powering off or rebooting the switch. Swapped-in modules are recognized by the switch and begin functioning immediately after they are installed.

Caution

The ProCurve 5400zl Switch and its components are sensitive to static discharge. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions when hot swapping components. For example, connect your antistatic wrist strap to the ground point on the front of the switch, above the rightmost power supply bay.

WARNING This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the unit.

Replacing Power Supplies

If your ProCurve 5400zl Switch is configured with redundant power supplies, you will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if a power supply fails. Replace the failed component as soon as possible. One of the Internal Power LEDs on the management module will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED indicating which power supply failed.

Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

To remove an AC power supply:

1. Ensure the AC power supply is not plugged into an AC power source on the failed power supply.

2. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws and remove the failed power supply.

Figure 4-1. Power Supply Removal

1. Insert the power supply into the opening. Slide it all the way in until it connects to the switch. The power supply face plate will be flush with the back face of the switch.

Figure 4-2. Power Supply Installation

1. Tighten the four retaining screws that hold it in place. Be careful not to overtighten the screws.

For more detail refer to the ProCurve Switch zl Internal Power Supply Installation Guide (5991-3787).

Replacing Fan Trays

When a fan fails the Fan Status LED on the switch chassis will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED. In this case, the entire fan tray needs to be replaced. You cannot replace individual fans.

The fan tray is hot swappable. It can be removed and replaced without removing power from the switch. However, install the new fan tray immediately (within two minutes) after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and switch shutdown (within three minutes).

Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the same for the 12-slot chassis.

WARNING To avoid contact with spinning fans, if you are hot swapping out the fan tray assembly, pull the assembly out one-inch and allow the fans to stop rotating (approximately 20 seconds) before pulling it all the way out.

1. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws holding the fan tray assembly and pull the fan tray assembly out.
2. Install the new fan tray assembly and tighten the retaining screws.

Replacing the Management Module

The switch does not have to be powered off to remove the management module, however when the management module is removed all ports will lose communication. ProCurve Networking recommends replacing the Management module, flash disk and battery (on the Management module) during scheduled down time.

To install (or replace) a Management Module:

1. On the module unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.
2. Using the extractor handles, pull the module out from the slot.
3. Remove the flash disk from the failed module and install it into the replacement module.
4. Remove the battery from the failed module and dispose of properly.
5. Install the new battery that came with the replacement module. See the following pages for replacement instructions.
6. Install the replacement module into the switch.
7. Use an equal amount of pressure and push both extractor handles closed to completely seat the module.
8. Tighten the retaining screws.

Replacing the Management Module Compact Flash Card

The Compact Flash card is the primary non-volatile storage medium located on the management module that contains both the boot software and configuration files. When a Flash card fails the Flash status LED on the management module will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED.

Installing a Compact Flash Card

To install (or replace) a Compact Flash card:

1. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws securing the management module. (You cannot access the Compact Flash when the management module is installed. This prevents inadvertent removal of the system image while the system is running.)

2. Using the extractor handles, pull the management module out from the slot.

Figure 4-4. Management Module Removal

1. Slide out the old flash card.
2. Slide in the new flash card being careful not to bend any pins.
3. Reinstall the management module into the switch.
4. Use an equal amount of pressure and push both extractor handles closed to completely seat the module.
5. Tighten the retaining screws.

Replacing the Management Module Battery

The battery on the management module is used to keep time for the internal switch clock. There is no indicator LED for when the battery dies. The only indication will be the internal clock will not keep the correct time.

WARNING

■ The battery requires special handling at end-of-life. The battery can explode or cause burns if disassembled, charged, or exposed to water, fire or high temperature. After replacing the battery, properly dispose of used battery according to instructions.
■There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Ensure to replace the battery with the same type.
■To avoid shorting of battery, remove and properly dispose of battery before returning the Management Module for repair.

Installing a New Battery

To install (or replace) a New Battery:

1. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws securing the management module. (You cannot access the battery when the management module is installed.)
2. Using the extractor handles, pull the module out from the slot.

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your Series 5400zl Switches. Note that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting using the software tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface, and ProCurve Manager, the SNMP-based network management tool.

Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting:

■ Faulty or loose cables. Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.

■ Non-standard cables. Non-standard and miswired cables may cause network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable or compare your cable to the cable in appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T network installation.
■ Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new topology is probably at fault.

In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.

With your Series 5400zl Switches, if you wish to build redundant paths between important nodes in your network to provide some fault tolerance, you should enable Spanning Tree Protocol support on the switch. This ensures that only one of the redundant paths is active at any time, thus avoiding data path loops. Spanning Tree can be enabled through the switch console, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager.

The Series 5400zl Switches also support Trunking, which allows multiple network cables to be used for a single network connection without causing a data path loop. See the Management and Configuration Guide for more information on Spanning Tree and on Trunking, which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

■Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.

The RJ-45 ports on the Series 5400zl Switches are all configured as "Auto". That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex):

• if the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will automatically negotiate both link speed and communication mode
• if the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps, at half or full duplex, the switch will automatically sense the link speed, but will default to a communication of half duplex

Because the Series 5400zl Switches behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.

Ensure that all devices connected to the Series 5400zl Switches are configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).

If necessary though, you can modify the configuration of the ports on the Series 5400zl Switches to match the configuration of the connected device. Use the switch console, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager to modify the port configuration.

- Check the port configuration. A port on your Series 5400zl Switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.

Use the switch console to determine the port's configuration and verify that there is not an improper or undesired configuration of any of the switch features that may be affecting the port. See the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

For more information on possible network problems and their solutions, refer to the technical note “Troubleshooting LAN Performance and Intermittent Connectivity Problems”, which can be found on the ProCurve Networking Web site, www.procurve.com, in the Reference Library section.

Diagnosing with the LEDs

Table 5-1 shows LED patterns on the switch and the switch modules that indicate problem conditions.

1. Check in the table for the LED pattern you see on your switch
2. Refer to the corresponding diagnostic tip on the next few pages.

Diagnostic Tips:

Tip Number	Problem Solution
1	The power supplies installed in the switch are not plugged into active AC power sources, or the power supply may have failed.	1. Verify the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the switch.Ensure these connections are snug.2. Try power cycling the switch by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in.3. If the Power LED is still not on, verify the AC power source works by plugging another device into the outlet. Or try plugging the switch into a different outlet or try a different power cord.If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch power supply may have failed. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
2	A switch hardware failure has occurred. All the LEDs will stay on indefinitely.	Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch may have failed. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
3	The switch has experienced a backplane failure during self test.	The failure may be just in the communications with a single module slot, or it might be more significant. Start a console session with the switch, and at the CLI prompt issue the command show logging. In the event log that is displayed, there will be messages that describe the extent of the problem. If the problem is with individual slots, the remainder of the switch slots will be fully operational and can be used until you get a chance to replace the switch.If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
4	The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is blinking is an invalid module.	The fact that the Link and Mode LEDs never are lit on the module indicates that it is a ProCurve Switch gl module and should not be used in your zl switch.zl moduleEnsure you have installed a zl module in the slot. ProCurve xl/gl modules will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with your ProCurve zl switch. Check to ensure the module has a Blue "zl module" symbol on it.Remove the module from the switch and replace it with a zl module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. You can remove and replace the module without having to power down the switch. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get information on supported Switch zl modules. The modules that are available as of the printing of this manual are listed on page 1-13.
5	The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization fault.	The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset (through the Reset button on the switch, or the Boot or Reset options in the console or web browser interface), and when they are hot swapped (installed when the switch is powered on).Since the Link and Mode LEDs on the module were lit at least briefly, that indicates that the module did receive power from the switch, but the subsequent download process failed. Either the module is faulty, or it is a new module type that is not yet supported by the operating code on the switch.As ProCurve Networking introduces new modules for your ProCurve Switch zl, you may have to update the switch with new operating code that supports the new module. The documentation that came with the module will indicate which version of the operating code is needed to support the module. The modules that are supported in your Switch zl, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on page 1-13 under “Switch Features”. The latest code can be downloaded from the ProCurve Networking Web site at www.procurve.com.First verify the switch has a version of code that supports the module that is indicating the fault. If the module is not one of the ones listed on page 1-13, check the module documentation to see what version of switch code is needed. Download the new code and retest the module.If you have the correct code installed in the switch, try removing and reinstalling the module. You can do this without having to power down the switch. When the module is reinstalled, it will be retested automatically.If the fault indication reoccurs, the module may have failed. Remove the module from the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
6	In the slot corresponding to the letter that is blinking, a module was installed that is a different type than the previously installed module, and the switch has not yet been reset.	When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slots, if you install a different module type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you must reset the switch so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type. The blinking LED informs you that this change of module types has occurred. The module will not work properly until the switch is reset.You can reset the switch by any of these methods:pressing the Reset button.power cycling the switch.selecting the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager.
7	The network port for which the Link LED is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization failure.	During the module self test, described in tip number 4 earlier in this table, each network port is also tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable, but the rest of the ports on the module, which have passed their self test, will continue to operate normally.If the port is a mini-GBIC, verify it is one of the mini-GBICs supported by the mini-GBIC zl Module. Unsupported mini-GBICs will be identified with this fault condition. The supported mini-GBICs are listed in the module Installation Guide. The mini-GBICs are also tested when they are “hot-swapped”--installed or changed after the mini-GBIC zl Module is installed and receiving power from the switch.To verify the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the module, as described in tip number 4. For the mini-GBICs, you can just remove and reinstall the mini-GBIC without having to remove the module. If the port fault indication reoccurs, and you need to be able to use the port, you will have to replace the mini-GBIC or the module. In the mean time, all the other module ports will operate normally.
8	A fault condition has been detected on the power supply installed in the slot corresponding to the blinking number.	Try removing and reinstalling the power supply.Caution: Ensure the AC power cord is disconnected from the supply before removing and reinstalling the supply.Reconnect the power supply to the AC power source. If the error indication reoccurs after the supply is reinstalled, the power supply may be faulty. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
9	One or more of the switch cooling fans may have failed.	Try disconnecting power from the switch and wait a few moments. Then reconnect the power to the switch and check the LEDs again. If the error indication reoccurs, one or more of the fans has failed. The switch has multiple fans and may continue to operate OK under this condition if the ambient temperature does not exceed normal room temperature, but for best operation, the switch should be replaced. Contact your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.
10	The network port for which the Link LED is blinking has been disabled because port security has been configured on the switch and a security violation has been detected on the port.	For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that whenever a security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable the port. When a port is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will be continuously flashed at the fast rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The blinking continues until you clear the security violation through the switch console. In the console, you can view the identity of the connected device that committed the security violation.Once the security violation is cleared, you must re-enable the port through the console.For more information on the Port Security feature, see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
Tip Number	Problem Solution
11	The network connection is not working properly.	Try the following procedures:For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected.Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection.-for any of the twisted-pair connections, in the default configuration (Auto), either a straight-through or a crossover cable can be used and the switch will automatically adjust its operation. See the "HP Auto-MDIX Feature" description on page B-6 for more information.Note:If the module configuration is changed to one of the fixed configuration options though (for example, 100-Full Duplex), then the port operates as MDI-X only and the correct type of cable must be used. in general, for connecting to an end node (MDI port), use straight-through cable; for connecting to MDI-X ports on hubs, other switches, and routers, use crossover cable.-for fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the switch is connected to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device, and that both devices are transmitting correctly.For a 1000 Mbps connection, verify the network cabling complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standard. The cable should be installed according to the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5 specifications. Cable testing should comply with the stated limitations for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk, Far-End Crosstalk, Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.The cable verification must include all patch cables from any end devices, including the switch, to any patch panels in the cabling path.Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change. You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.Verify the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached device. For example, if the switch port is configured as "Auto", the port on the attached device also MUST be configured as "Auto". Depending on the port type, twisted-pair or fiber-optic, if the configurations don't match, the results could be a very unreliable connection, or no link at all.If the other procedures don't resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Proactive Networking

The Series 5400zl Switches have built-in management capabilities that proactively help you manage your network including:

■finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions (for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topologies)
■ informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages
■recommending network configuration changes to enhance the performance of your network

The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can be used to monitor the switch and its network connections, and to help you take advantage of these proactive networking features:

■ProCurve Manager - an SNMP-based network management tool included with your switch
■ A graphical web browser interface you can use to manage your switch from a PC that is running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.
A full-featured easy-to-use console interface you can access by merely connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the switch's console port. The cable to make that connection is provided with your switch. The console interface is also accessible through a telnet connection.

See the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Management and Configuration Guide for more information on using these software tools to diagnose and manage your switch, which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Testing the Switch by Resetting It

If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset a switch, either:

■Unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling)
■Press the Reset button on the front of the switch
■Select the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager.

Power cycling the switch, pressing the Reset button, and the software reset or reboot options all cause the switch to perform its power-on self-test, which almost always will resolve any temporary operational problems. These reset processes also cause any network traffic counters to be reset to zero and cause the System Up Time timer to reset to zero. Neither of these reset procedures causes any changes to the switch configuration.

Checking the Switch LEDs

The self-test passes if the Fault and Test LEDs on the front of the switch go off after approximately 90 to 150 seconds depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch. If these LEDs stay on longer than 180 seconds or begin blinking, the switch, or a module, or an individual mini-GBIC may have to be replaced as indicated by the LEDs.

See “Diagnosing With the LEDs” on page 5-4 for information on interpreting the LED patterns.

Checking Console Messages

Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the switch is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 8, “Connect a Console to the Switch”, connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a standard VT-100 terminal to the switch’s Console Port and configure it to run at 9600 baud and with the other terminal communication settings shown on page 2-26. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are displayed.

Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling

If you think the cable should work but still isn't working, it may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected to. The twisted-pair cables attached to the Series 5400zl Switches must be compatible with these standards. To verify your cable is compatible with these standards, use a qualified cable test device.

ProCurve Networking also offers a wire testing service. Contact your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer or your local ProCurve Networking sales office for more information.

Testing Switch-to-Device Network Communications

You can perform the following communication tests to verify the network is operating correctly between the switch and any connected device that can respond correctly to the communication test.

• Link Test – a physical layer test that sends IEEE 802.2 test packets to any device identified by its MAC address
  ■Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test packets to any device identified by its IP address

These tests can be performed through the switch console interface from a terminal connected to the switch or through a telnet connection, or from the switch's web browser interface. See the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

These tests can also be performed from an SNMP network management station running a program that can manage the switch, for example, ProCurve Manager.

Testing End-to-End Network Communications

Both the switch and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end communications test – a test that sends known data from one network device to another through the switch. For example, if you have two PCs on the network that have LAN adapters between which you can run a link-level test or Ping test through the switch, you can use this test to verify the entire communication path between the two PCs is functioning correctly. See your LAN adapter documentation for more information on running the a link test or Ping test.

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting an IP address, if one is configured.

Note This process removes all switch configuration changes that you have made

from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of VLANs, spanning tree, trunks, stacking, meshing, routing, and security. Returning the configuration of these features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may result in network connectivity issues.

If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, you can use the console copy command. See the switch Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself or through the switch console.

To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:

1. Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.
2. Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.
3. As soon as the Test LED begins to flash, release the Clear button.
   The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its configuration restored to the factory default settings.

To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the erase startup config command from the console command prompt.

Downloading New Code

When product enhancements occur for the Series 5400zl Switches, new code can be downloaded to the switch through several methods, for product enhancements and new features. Please see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

The new code would be available on the ProCurve Networking Web site, www.procurve.com.

Switch Ports and Network Cables

Note

This appendix includes switch connector information and network cable information for cables that should be used with the Series 5400zl Switches, including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair cables.

Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN communications. It is recommended that you work with a qualified LAN cable installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.

Cables

Twisted-Pair

10 Mbps Operation	Category 3, 4, or 5 100-ohm differential unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable, complying with IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T specifications, fitted with RJ-45 connectors.

Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100Base-TX connections should also work for 1000Base-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust connections you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5).

Because of the increased speed provided by 1000Base-T (Gigabit-T), network cable quality is more important than for either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Site cabling that is being used to carry 1000Base-T networking must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). Additionally, unlike the cables for 100Base-TX, the 1000Base-T cables must pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.

When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also comply with the cabling standards.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX

The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port.

Note

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord cables only apply to one Gigabit operation. Mode Conditioning Patch Cord cables are not supported for 10 Gigabit operation.

Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling, Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires that the transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable design and thus prevent resulting transmission errors. Since Gigabit-SX is designed to operate only with multimode cable, Gigabit-SX mini-GBICs can provide that transmission conditioning internally.

Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs, since they are designed to operate with both single-mode and multimode cable, do not provide the transmission conditioning internally. Thus, under certain circumstances, depending on the cable used and the lengths of the cable runs, an external Mode Conditioning Patch Cord may need to be installed between the Gigabit-LX transmitting device and the multimode network cable to provide the transmission conditioning.

If you experience a high number of transmission errors on the Gigabit-LX ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch cords between the Gigabit-LX port in your switch and your multimode fiber-optic network cabling, and between the Gigabit-LX transmission device and the network cabling at the other end of the multimode fiber-optic cable run. A patch cord must be installed at both ends.

The patch cord consists of a short length of single-mode fiber cable coupled to graded-index multimode fiber cable on the transmit side, and only multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single-mode fiber is connected in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode delay in the multimode cable.

Note

If you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres to the standards listed on page 3, there should not be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short. If you are using single-mode fiber-optic cabling, there is no need to use mode conditioning patch cords. Connect the single-mode network cable directly to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC.

Installing the Patch Cord

As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.

If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected together.

Figure B-1. Mode Conditioning Patch Cord

Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has LC connectors on the end that connects to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC, and has multimode fibers that match the characteristics of the multimode fiber in your network.

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs

The HP Auto-MDIX Feature. In the default configuration, "Auto", the 10/100Base-TX ports on the 10/100-TX and PoE xl Modules used in the Series 5400zl Switches all automatically detect the type of port on the connected device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port, whichever is appropriate. So for any connection, a straight-through twisted-pair cable can be used -- you no longer have to use crossover cables, although crossover cables can also be used for any of the connections. The 100/1000-T xl Module supports the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the "Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature, which operates the same way.

Note

HP Auto-MDIX was developed and shared with the IEEE for the development of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. HP Auto-MDIX and the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MDI-X feature are completely compatible.

If you connect a Series 5400zl Switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the Series 5400zl Switch port automatically operates as an MDI port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a server or PC, which typically have MDI ports, the Series 5400zl Switch port operates as an MDI-X port. In all cases, you can use standard straight through cables.

If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will still be able to automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link correctly to the connected device.

If the port configuration is changed to any of the fixed configurations though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type must be used. In general, for connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable; for connections to MDI-X ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a crossover cable.

Other Wiring Rules:

■All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See the Pin Assignment tables below the cable illustrations later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each pin.
For 1000Base-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be available for data transmission. See “Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements” on page B-2 for more information on 1000Base-T cabling.
For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 100-ohm differential unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard.
■ For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use Category 5 100-ohm differential UTP or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard.
For 1000 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better 100-ohm differential UTP or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard; Category 5e or better is recommended.

Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections

Because of the HP Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switches, for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches, you can use straight-through cables.

If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables must be then used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.

Cable Diagram

Note

Pins 1 and 2 on connector "A" must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2 on connector "B".

Pins 3 and 6 on connector "A" must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 3 and 6 on connector "B".

Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in this application, although they may be wired in the cable.

The HP Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switches also allows you to use crossover cables for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches.

If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and crossover cables must be then used for connections to hubs or switches or other MDI-X network devices.
