Frequently Asked Questions - MXG610s DELL

What is the Dell EMC MXG610s?

The Dell EMC MXG610s is a 32-port Fibre Channel switch module designed for the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 chassis. It supports data rates of 8, 16, and 32 Gbps and provides 16 internal ports for server connections and 16 external ports (via SFP+ and QSFP transceivers) for storage and fabric connectivity.

How do I install the MXG610s in the MX7000 chassis?

Ensure the chassis is powered on and the I/O module bay C1 or C2 is empty. Orient the module with the ports facing you, open the release lever, slide the module into the slot until it clicks, and lock it. The switch will run POST and become ready when the power/status LED is steady green.

How can I configure the IP address of the switch?

Use the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Modular (OME-M) GUI. Navigate to Devices > I/O modules, select the switch, go to Settings > Network, and configure static or DHCP IP settings. Alternatively, you can use the CLI via serial or SSH.

What types of transceivers are supported?

Only Brocade-branded SFP+ and QSFP optical transceivers are supported. For current compatibility, refer to the Brocade Fibre Channel Transceiver Platform Support Matrix. Using non-Brocade transceivers may cause the switch to not recognize them.

How do I back up the switch configuration?

Use the configUpload command via SSH or serial console to upload the configuration to an FTP server. Regular backups are recommended to restore settings on replacement modules.

What does the port status LED indicate?

The bicolor LED shows port status: Solid green (online with link), Solid amber (receiving carrier but not online), Slow flashing amber (disabled), Fast flashing amber (fault), Slow flashing green (online but segmented), Fast flashing green (internal loopback), and Flickering green (traffic flowing).

How do I upgrade the firmware?

Download the firmware package from Dell EMC support, decompress it, and use the firmwareDownload command via CLI. Ensure you back up the configuration before upgrading. Monitor progress with firmwareDownloadStatus. Do not interrupt the process.

What are the power requirements for the MXG610s?

The module draws power from the MX7000 chassis: 12 V supply, with maximum power consumption of 60 W at 25°C (idle 50 W). It also requires a 3.3 V standby supply derived from the same source.

How can I reset the switch to factory defaults?

After a factory restore, the default IP address is 192.168.0.200+ (SlotID[1-2]), subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1. The default username is admin and password is password. Change the password upon first login.

What licenses are available and how do I add them?

• System reliability guidelines
•Static-sensitive devices
•Electrical considerations
•Environmental considerations
- Unpack
- Switch module information

Multiple switch module installation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports up to two MXG610s switch modules in fabric C slot locations—C1 and C2. During configuration, you must assign the first switch module that you install a unique Ethernet IP address. By default, the switch modules use dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) for IP address assignment.

If you do not have a DHCP server, install and configure one switch module at a time to ensure that IP address conflicts do not occur.

System reliability guidelines

To ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, meet the following requirements:

● Each of the Fabric C switch module bays at the back of the MX7000 chassis contains either a switch or a filler blade.
- Replace a removed hot-swappable switch module with an identical switch module or filler blade within 60 seconds of removal.
- Do not block the ventilation areas on the front and back of the MX7000 chassis, power modules, and fans.
- Follow the reliability guidelines detailed in the PowerEdge MX7000 documentation.

Static-sensitive devices

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow these precautions:

• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the module carefully, hold it by its edges or frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

• Do not leave the modules where others can handle and damage it.

• While the module is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis or any grounded rack component for at least two seconds. This action drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

• Remove the module from its package. Install it directly into the chassis without setting the module down. If you must set down the module, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the module on the chassis or on a metal surface.
  ● Take care when you handle modules during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

- The chassis comes with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) connector. To use the ESD connector, see the documentation included with the chassis.

Electrical considerations

The MXG610s requires a maximum of 140 watts; the MX7000 chassis supplies 12 V power. Out of this 12 V power input, the standby power supply supplies 3.3 V. No other power requirement or provision exists.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or disposed off. If the real-time clock begins to lose time, contact your switch module supplier.

Environmental considerations

Ensure proper cooling and ventilation. Verify the following:

●Air vents on the MX7000 are not blocked or restricted.
- Ambient air temperature at the front of the MX7000 does not exceed 40^ (104°F) while the switch module is operating.

Unpack

If you purchased the switch separately from the MX7000 chassis, the shipping carton includes one switch module with two, four, or eight SWL 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers pre-installed.

1. Open the shipping box and inspect the contents for damage.

NOTE: Do not insert a damaged switch module in the blade server chassis. If the switch module is damaged, contact your sales representative before proceeding.

1. Remove the foam layer that sits on top of the switch module.
2. Remove the switch module from the protective foam surround.
3. Remove the foam ends from the switch module.
4. Remove the orange protective cover from the internal connectors.
5. Slide the switch module out of the antistatic sleeve.

NOTE: Always follow standard ESD precautions.

Switch module information

Before installing the switch module, obtain the switch module serial number. To locate the serial number:

• Locate the serial number on the label attached to the top of the switch module. This label is not visible when you install the switch module in the chassis.
• If you have installed the switch module, enter the chassisShow command. The switch module serial number displays along with other data.

Switch module installation overview

Topics:

•MX7000 chassis preparation
- Switch module installation
- Switch module replacement

MX7000 chassis preparation

Before you insert the switch module in the MX7000 chassis, meet the following conditions:

●The chassis is powered up and meets all its specific power requirements.
●The I/O module bay C1 or C2 is empty and ready to receive the switch module.
- If you are replacing an existing switch module, to maintain the proper cooling level in the chassis, insert the replacement switch module within one minute.

Switch module installation

Insert the switch modules in the MX7000 chassis slots and check that the modules are functioning properly.

NOTE: The switch module works in slots C1 and C2. Do not insert the switch module in any other slot because this action may damage the chassis or switch module connector pins.

1. Remove the orange plastic protective cover for the backplane connector.

1. PowerEdge MX7000 chassis back view.
2. Switch module slot C2

3. Switch module slot C1

4. Orient the switch module port side facing you.

The module latch is on the right side.

1. Backplane connectors
2. Switch module top view.

3. Switch module latch in the open position.

4. Open the release lever, and slide the switch module into the slot completely.

You hear a click when the switch module is locked into the I/O module bay. If power is applied to the MX7000, locking the switch module in the module bay powers on the switch.

When you apply power, the switch module runs POSTs which may take up to two minutes to complete. After the power/status LED light is steady green for at least two minutes, the module is ready to use.

1. Start from port 0, then port 17, and then the rest of the ports when cabling the SFP+ ports.

You are now ready to insert more SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers, if needed. Be sure to use only Brocade-branded SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers. The MXG610s does not recognize non-Broadcom products.

Switch module replacement

If there is a switch module failure, you must remove and replace the switch module.

NOTE: Before beginning this procedure, you must have a replacement switch module or filler blade available. Never leave the slot on the blade server chassis open for an extended time period. To maintain proper airflow, fill the slot with either a replacement switch module or filler blank.

For more information about removing and replacing the switch module, see the PowerEdge MX7000 Users Guide.

1. Back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server using the configUpload command.

The configUpload command uploads the switch module configuration to the server and makes it available for downloading to the replacement switch module if necessary. To ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch module, back up the configuration regularly.

1. Stop all activity requiring the ports the switch module uses.

To verify that there is no activity, view the switch module LEDs.

1. Disconnect all cables from the SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers.
2. Remove the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceivers from the switch module external ports.
3. Press the release latch, and gently pull the release lever out from the switch module.

You can feel the switch module unseat and move out of the I/O module bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 in).

The following shows the open and unlocked view of the release lever and release latch:

a. Backplane connectors
b. Switch module top view
c. Switch module release lever and latch

1. Slide the switch module out of the I/O module bay and set it aside.

NOTE: If you do not insert a replacement switch module, to maintain proper airflow and cooling, use a filler blank to fill the empty slot. Do not leave the slot empty.

1. Insert the replacement switch module in the I/O module bay of the blade server chassis.
   Complete this step within 60 seconds.
2. Insert the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceivers.
3. Reconnect the cables.

For more information, see the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceivers documentation.

• Time and items required
• Transceiver and cable safety considerations
- Clean the fiber optic connector
•Optical transceivers
•Fiber optic cables
• Optical transceivers and cabling installation
• Optical transceiver removal and replacement
•Optical transceiver operation

Time and items required

The installation or replacement procedure for one transceiver takes less than five minutes. Ensure that the following items are available:

● Supported Brocade-branded transceivers
- Compatible fiber-optic cables

For current information about supported transceivers, see the Brocade Fibre Channel Transceiver Platform Support Matrix and Brocade Transceiver Module Resources on www.brocade.com.

WARNING: Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

Transceiver and cable safety considerations

To avoid power leakage and equipment safety, install the transceivers and cables with care.

WARNING: Use only optical transceivers that are Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., qualified and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 825-2. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

Clean the fiber optic connector

To ensure the connectors function properly, clean and protect them from dust.

To avoid problems with the connection between the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceivers and the fiber cable connectors, Dell EMC strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber optic cable connectors, Dell EMC recommends using a fiber optic reel-type cleaner.

Optical transceivers

To avoid damage to the optical transceivers, handle them carefully.

Before installing an optical transceiver:

• The housing on the optical transceiver includes an integral guide key that prevents you from inserting the transceiver incorrectly.
• Use minimal pressure when you insert an optical transceiver in the port. Forcing the transceiver into the port can damage the transceiver or the switch module port.
• You can insert or remove an optical transceiver while the blade server chassis is powered on.
• First insert the optical transceiver in the port before connecting the cables.
• Remove the cable from the optical transceiver before you remove the optical transceiver from the switch module.

To order Brocade-branded optical transceivers and cables, contact your sales representative.

For a complete list of optical transceivers and other interoperable hardware, see the Brocade website.

Fiber optic cables

After modifying the switch module IP address and domain name, cable all the external ports to the fabric connections before bringing the switch module online.

To avoid damage to the fiber-optic cables:

• Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
• When you attach the cable to a device on the slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable. The cable cannot bend to a radius of less than 5.08 cm (2 in.) when the device is extended or becomes pinched when the device retracts.
• Route the cable away from places where it may get snagged by other devices in the rack.
• Do not overtighten the cable straps, or bend the cables to a radius of less than 5.08 cm (2 in.).
• Dell EMC does not recommend tie wraps (also known as zip ties) for optical cables because you can easily overtighten them.
• Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure that the cable is well supported.

NOTE: Do not bend a cable to a radius of less than 5.08 cm (2 inches) under full tensile load and 3.048 cm (1.2 inches) with no tensile load.

Optical transceivers and cabling installation

NOTE: When cabling SFP+ optical transceivers, start with port 0, then port 17, and then the other ports.

To insert the optical transceivers and the cable connections:

1. Insert the optical transceiver in an external port on the switch module until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
   Transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
2. Insert the fiber optic cable in the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
   Cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable connector does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

For instructions specific to a cable type, see the cable manufacturer's documentation.

Optical transceiver removal and replacement

1. Disconnect the cable from the SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver.

NOTE: Your SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers may differ slightly from the optical transceiver shown in the following illustration, but the steps for removal are the same:

1. Remove the SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the replacement SFP+/QSFP optical transceiver in the appropriate external port of the switch module.

  •Diagnostic tests
• Remove a license
• Software upgrade or downgrade

Port-side LEDs

Each switch module uses bicolored external LEDs to indicate operation status.

1. FC port 0 status LED 2. FC port 17 status LED
2. FC port 24 status LED 4. Module power status LED
3. Module identification LED

Table 4. Port-side LEDs

LED Description
Module power and status LED	●Solid green—The switch is working correctly.●Blinking amber—The switch is working incorrectly. The temperature may be too high, a software error has occurred, or another error is discovered.●Off—There is no power supplied to the FC switch module. Reseat the module and ensure that the chassis power is on and it has adequate power for the I/O module.
Module identification LED	●Off—Module is not identified.●Blinking blue—Module is being identified.
FC port status LED	●Both off—No light or signal carrier—no module, no cable —for the media interface●Solid amber—Receiving light or signal carrier, but not yet online●Slow flashing amber, 2-second intervals—Disabled; results of diagnostics or the portdisable command.●Fast flashing amber, 1/2-second intervals—Error occurred, fault with port.●Solid green—Online; connected with external device over cable●Slow flashing green, 2-second intervals—Online but segmented; Loopback cable or incompatible switch.●Fast flashing green, 1/2-second intervals—Internal loopback, diagnostic.●Flickering green—Online and frames flowing through the port.

POST results

The power-on self-test (POST) system check performs each time you start up, reboot, or reset the switch module. During the POST, the LEDs activate in various indicator patterns.

NOTE: The default POST diagnostic level is 0; therefore, no POST runs by default. To run the POST, set the POST diagnostic level to a nonzero value before powering on the switch module.

To determine whether POST completed successfully or whether any errors were detected:

- Verify that the LEDs on the switch module indicate a healthy switch.

If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon. To verify the LED state, use the switchShow command or web Tools.

- To verify that the switch module is working correctly, use the blade server management application.

- Review the system log for errors.

Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log. This log is accessible through the errShow command.

BOOT results

BOOT includes the following tasks after POST completes:

●Performs universal port configuration
- Initializes links
- Analyzes the fabric. If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.
- Obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.
- Constructs unicast routing tables.
- Enables normal port operation.

Diagnostic tests

In addition to the POST, the fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. These tests include internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use.

Initiate diagnostic tests with the command line using a secure shell (SSH) session or a terminal set up with a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to connect by external cables to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceivers, and cables. For information about the available diagnostic tests, use the diagHelp command.

All diagnostic tests are run at 32 Gbps link speeds.

NOTE: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive link speed.

• Off—No light or signal carrier; no module or cable for the media interface.
  ●Solid amber—Receiving light or signal carrier, but not yet online,
• Slow flashing amber, 2-second intervals—Disabled; the result of diagnostics or the portDisable command.
• Fast flashing amber, 1/2-second intervals—Error; a fault with a port.

Remove a license

When you remove licenses, some features require that you reboot the switch. Some features require you to disable and reenable selected ports or the entire switch. For example, Dynamic POD license requires you to disable and reenable the chassis or the appropriate ports.

1. Enter the license --show command to display the active licenses.
2. Issue the license --remove -key command to remove the license key.

The license key is case-sensitive, and you must enter it exactly as shown. If the license key includes spaces, enclose the entire string in double quotation marks.

1. Take the appropriate action that the command output indicates.

Depending on the license type, you may be prompted to reboot the switch or to enable the ports.

1. Enter the license --show command to verify that the license is removed.

If there are no license keys, the command output displays No licenses.

Software upgrade or downgrade

To upgrade the firmware, perform the following steps:

1. Enter the version command to verify the current firmware version.
2. Back up your switch configuration before the firmware download.
3. (Optional) For extra support, connect the switch to a computer with a serial console cable.

Log and include all serial consoles and any open network connection sessions, such as SSH, with any troubleshoot reports.

1. Enter the supportSave command to collect all current core files before the firmware download.

This information helps to troubleshoot the firmware download process if there is a problem.

1. Enter the version command to determine the fabric OS version and other build information.

Firmware upgrades are available for customers with support service contracts and for partners on the Dell EMC website at www.dell.com/support.

1. Decompress the firmware package.

Use the UNIX tar command for .tar files, the gunzip command for all .gz files, or a Windows unzip program for all .zip files.

When you unpack the downloaded firmware, it expands into a directory that is named according to the firmware version.

The firmwareDownload command, when issued with the path to the directory where the firmware is stored, performs an automatic search for the correct package file type associated with the switch.

1. Enter the firmwareDownload command.

NOTE: When upgrading multiple switch modules, complete the following steps on each switch module before you upgrade the next one.

NOTE: Do not interrupt the firmware download process. If you encounter a problem, wait for the 30 minutes time-out before issuing the firmware download command again. Disrupting the process; for example, by disconnecting the switch from the power source, can render the switch inoperable and may require you to seek help from your switch service provider.

1. Start a separate CLI session on the switch module while the upgrade is proceeding.

To monitor the upgrade progress, use the firmwareDownloadStatus command.

1. Enter the version command after the switch module reboots to verify the firmware upgrade.

Initial setup and verification

Before you begin the switch module configuration, ensure that you configure the MX7000 chassis correctly. For more information, see the OpenManage Enterprise Module Edition User Guide.

To configure and connect to the switch module, you need the following:

●MXG610s switch module installed in a MX7000
●A workstation with access to the OME-M GUI
●A serial cable to connect to the switch module serial console port, if required

NOTE: You can change the switch module IP address only through the OME-M GUI.

• An unused IP address and a corresponding subnet mask and gateway address if you did not use DHCP to set the DHCP address
• Access to an FTP server to back up the switch module configuration

Topics:

• Switch module power
• IP addresses
  •Static IP addresses
• Serial connection
• Set date and time
• Chassis and switch name
• Set domain ID
• Software licenses
• Verify device operation
• Configuration backup

Switch module power

The MX7000 chassis power supply provides power to the switch module. There is no separate power supply required.

IP addresses

DHCP

DHCP is the default IP address mode. When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.

Static IP addresses

Dell EMC recommends configuring the switch module through the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise — Modular (OME-M) graphical user interface (GUI). Use this management GUI to configure the switch IP address, host name, and password. By default, the IP address mode is set to DHCP. Use the GUI to assign a static IP address. To configure the FC switch module, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the OME-M GUI.

Serial connection

To log in to the switch module through the serial connection on the front panel, perform the following steps:

1. Connect the console cable with the micro-USB connector to the console port on the switch module and to a USB port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation such as synchronization programs.
3. Open a terminal emulator application such as PuTTY, XShell, or SecureCRT on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or C-Kermit in a LINUX environment. Configure the application as follows:

- In a Windows environment, use the following values:

• Bits per second—9600
  ○Databits—8
  oParity—None
  ○Stop bits—1
  ○Flow control—None; must be disabled on the host side

NOTE: Flow control is not supported on the serial connection when attached to a remote terminal. You must disable flow control on the customer-side remote terminal server in addition to the host-side clients.

• In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter tip /dev/ttyb -9600. at the prompt.

• If you are already using ttyb, use ttya instead and enter tip /dev/ttya -9600 at the prompt.

• Press enter when the terminal emulator application stops reporting information to display the login prompt.

Switch Console Login:

1. Log in to the switch module as admin, using the default password: password.

You are prompted to change the default admin and user passwords at initial login. Write down the new passwords, and keep this information in a secure location.

Set date and time

Use date and time settings for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly.

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

1. Log in to the device as admin.
2. Enter the date ["newdate"] command at the command line.

The "newdate" variable specifies the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. The operand is optional; if omitted, the current date and time displays. Date and time are specified as a string in the mddhhmmyy format:

• mm: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01–12.
• dd: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01–31.
• hh: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00–23.
• mm: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00–59.
• yy: Specifies the year. Valid values are 00–37 and 70–99. Year values from 70 to 99 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values from 00 to 37 are interpreted as 2000-2037.

Done
Switch name has been changed. Please re-login to the switch for the change to applied 

Set domain ID

To set the switch domain ID:

1. Log in to the switch through SSH using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.

The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch automatically resets to a unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after it is powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, enter the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric.

a. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.

b. Enter the configure command.

The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press enter to accept each default value.

c. Enter y after the Fabric param prompt.

The following recommendations apply:

- Keep backup copies of the startup configuration for all switches in the fabric.

- Upload the configuration backup copies to an external host or an attached USB device.

- Avoid copying configuration files from one switch to another. Instead, restore the switch configuration files from the backup copy.

Backup procedure

To back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server:

1. Open an SSH session to the serial console.
2. Enter the configUpload command.

You are presented with a series of prompts.

1. Follow the prompts to upload the configuration.
