Bi-directional GBIC (MGBIC)
The Bi-directional Gigabit Interface Converters are deployed as a pair. One of the SFP Mini-GBICs is placed at one end of a single strand of single mode fiber (terminated with an LC UPC1 connector) and the second at the other end of the same fiber, achieving bi-directional transmission on a single fiber. These Mini-GBICs support the Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) extensions to the SFP standard. Beacon Priority Policy - A role/service that allows for the Beacon packet to have the highest priority when propagating though the network. This ensures the Beacon packet will be transmitted back to the PBQ in a flooded switch. Bootstrap Protocol The range of priority values used to determine which device is selected as the Spanning Tree root. This value can range from 0- 65535 for bridge priority mode 802.1d (decrement by 1) or from 0-61440 for bridge priority mode 802.1t (decrement by 4096).

(Circuit Breaker Policy) a role/service that disables a port when a Beacon packet is received from an edge switch or from the tier below. A policy rule that will disable a port that receives an incoming packet of an outgoing Beacon packet Loop. This is used to refer to policy rule that will disable an uplink (ISL) port that interfaces two root switches that receives an incoming packet of an outgoing Beacon packet Loop. This function is a subset of the Circuit Breaker. Command Line Interface Refers to the main body of switches that provide the network with its backbone connections. A core switch can also be considered an edge switch in reference to the root; however the outer most edge switches within the network are normally not considered to be core switches. Class of Service is based on the IEEE 802.1D (802.1p) standard specification, and allows you to define eight priorities (0-7, with 7 granted highest priority). CoS allows you to assign data to higher priority through the device by delaying less critical traffic during periods of congestion. The higher priority traffic through the device is serviced first before lower priority traffic. The Class of Service capability of the device is implemented by a priority queueing mechanism.

1. Introduction
B0700CF Rev A
Redundant Power Supply Capability

The A4-series (P0973JM/P0973JN/P0973JP) switches have the capability to support power supply redundancy when connected to an optional external Redundant Power Supply Module (RPSM) (P0973BP). If the internal power supply fails, the RPSM assumes the entire load of the switch without interrupting network traffic. The switch's internal power supply and RPSM each have their own ac power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different ac power circuit for additional ac power source redundancy. The A4-series switches additional access plates as shown in Figure 1-4 are non-functional and cannot support redundant internal power supplies. Adding an additional internal power supply disrupts the internal thermal characteristics, and decreases the overall thermal specification (0 to +50C (32F to 122F)) of the switch. This capability cannot be supported on the A4-series switch.
Additional Access Plates
Figure 1-4. Redundant Power Access Plates on Rear of A4-Series Switches
A4-series Ethernet Managed Switch Visual Indicators

Indicators on the front of the switch indicate: CPU, RPS, and MGR. The CPU indicator, indicates the health of the control processor. The RPS indicates the status of the redundant power supply. The MGR indicator, when lit indicates the switch is in Managed mode, when off indicates the unit is a member of a stack (See Caution below). Indicators for each port and uplink (ISL) indicate: port enabled and link activity, data collisions and diagnostic failure. Refer to LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs on page 26 for a full description of these LEDs. ! CAUTION A4-series stacking ports must be configured as uplink (ISL) ports prior to connecting them to other switches. If an A4-series switchs stacking port is connected prior to their configuration the switch will boot-up in a stacking mode, which is not allowed in The MESH control network due to sub-second failover requirements.
A4-series Ethernet Managed Switch Mini-GBIC Modules

NOTE
On an A4-series switch, the two stacking ports (see Port 25/Up and 26/Down in Figure 1-5) must be configured as standard Gigabit Ethernet ports. [Refer to Switch Configuration on page 36, step 5.]

1. Introduction
Stacking/Uplink (ISL) Ports
Figure 1-5. Stacking Ports on an A4-series Switch
The two stacking/uplink (ISL) ports accept a RJ-45 Category 5 copper cable (1000Base-T). Dual ports allow both upstream and downstream switches to be connected using the high speed Gigabit Ethernet protocol over CAT5 copper cable when configured as an uplink (ISL) port. The two 1000Base-X uplink (ISL) Gigabit (SFP) ports can be populated with Mini-GBIC modules as shown in Figure 1-6. Dual ports allow both upstream and downstream switches to be connected using the high speed Gigabit Ethernet protocol over CAT5 copper cable or Fiber Optic cables utilizing a variety of Mini-GBIC modules for connectivity. Refer to Table 1-1.
Figure 1-6. Fiber Uplink (ISL) Mini-GBIC Modules with LC Connector (P0972WT, P0972WU, P0972YQ and P0973FT)
The 1000Base-BX Fiber uplink (ISL) Mini-GBIC modules with Simplex LC connectors (P0973JB and P0973JC) are shown in Figure 1-7. 1000Base-BX is a version of Fast Ethernet over a single strand of optical fiber (unlike 1000Base-LX, which uses a pair of fibers). Simplex singlemode fiber is used, along with a special multiplexer (Mini-GBIC) which splits the signal into transmit and receive wavelengths. The two wavelengths used for transmit and receive are either 1310 nm or 1490 nm. The Mini-GBIC modules on each side of the fiber are not the same device, as the one transmitting P0973JC Mini-GBIC module downstream (from the core of the network to the edge) uses the 1490 nm wavelength, and the edge transmitting P0973JB MiniGBIC module upstream uses the 1310 nm wavelength with a distances up to 10 km (6.2 mi).

Redundant Power Supply System Chassis (RPSC) Overview (P0973BM/BN)

The Redundant Power Supply Chassis (RPSC) provides a simple and economical solution for providing a backup power source for up to eight Ethernet switch devices. When a Redundant Power Supply Module (RPSM) (P0973BP) is connected to a switch, the RPSM continuously monitors the internal power supply of the switch. If a power interruption is detected, the RPSM is automatically triggered to provide power for the switch, preventing an interruption in network traffic. The end result is a more reliable network infrastructure, protecting the network from a single source of failure from a network device power supply. Depending on your system requirements, the RPSC can consist of the following components to support up to eight switch devices: One RPSC chassis (P0973BM) Up to eight RPSMs (P0973BP) Up to eight ac power cords (one cord per RPSM) Up to eight PSM cables (one per RPSM)
NOTE
The chassis is shipped with one RPSM (P0973BP). Additional RPSMs are ordered separately. Each RPSM is shipped with an interconnecting PSM cable and an ac power cord.

Redundant Power Supply Chassis (RPSC) Guidelines (P0973BM/BN)

The following guidelines must be observed when a site is selected for the Redundant Power Supply Chassis (P0973BM/BN). If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance may result. The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below: Chassis placement close enough to connect the 2 m (6.6 ft) PSM cables from the RPSMs to the ac power source.
Up to eight three-pronged power receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified below. Up to eight ac outlets on independently fused circuits must be within 1.82 m (6 ft) from the installation site. If there is an ac power source failure, this will prevent the powering down of RPSMs due to a single source power failure.

B0700CF Rev A
2. Site Planning
Power cords and type of outlet are dependent on the country. In the United States, one power cord with an NEMA 5-15P plug is provided with each RPSM (P0973BP).
NOTE
If you plan to remove and not replace a RPSM (P0973BP), immediately reinstall cover plates over any empty power supply slots to prevent EMI leakage from the chassis.
An ambient temperature of between 0 and 50C (32 to 122F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10C (18F) per hour. To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 102 mm (4.0 in) at the front and rear of the chassis. Before installing the chassis into a rack, ensure that the rack can support the device(s) without compromising the stability of the rack. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

4. Switch Configuration
This chapter describes the steps necessary to configure the A4-series Ethernet managed switches as part of The MESH control network and the I/A Series control network.
Configuring Ethernet Switches

There are two methods available to configure A4-series Ethernet managed switches: The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software, and Command Line Interface (CLI).
The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software (SCAS)

The MESH Network Switch Configurator Application Software (SCAS) for the I/A Series system control network was created for Invensys customers as a configuration tool for qualified Ethernet switches. It reduces the repetitive Command Line Interface (CLI) command entries which are required to configure The MESH control network switches, by allowing users to customize configuration files that define a set of CLI commands downloadable via the serial port. SCAS is designed and tested for operation with the A4-series Ethernet managed switches and their uplink (ISL) modules. Refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) document for information on how to use SCAS. ! CAUTION The A4-series switch should be configured using SCAS, revision 3.4.1 or greater. This revision can be found at the Global Customer Support Center web site, listed below. The latest version of the tool and its documentation are available on the Global Customer Support Center web site http://support.ips.invensys.com After logging in to the web page, go to: Support -> Foxboro -> Product Information -> Briefs/Product Releases -> then select MESH Network Switches Documentation Details on downloading SCAS are provided in The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) document, in the section Getting the Latest Configuration Revision. Customers are encouraged to download and use the latest documentation and configurator tools on the Global Customer Support Center web site.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Entries

This section provides instructions and specific CLI entries that must be typed and entered into the switches for proper operation in their appropriate control network.
31
B0700CF Rev A
Logging In
By default, the A4-series switch is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-Only access rw for Read-Write access admin for superuser access to all modifiable parameters. The default password is set to a blank string. For information on changing these default settings, refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA, Rev. H or later) document, in the section Changing Switch Password and Settings.
Configuration Requirements
All managed switches require configuration before they are added to their appropriate control network. ! CAUTION Switches should be configured off line before they are connected to The MESH control network. The A4-series Ethernet managed switches have their two fixed RJ-45 stacking/uplink (ISL) ports configured in stacking mode when shipped. You must configure them in uplink (ISL) mode before connecting any uplink cables to them. Configuration of managed switches is accomplished by connecting a terminal (or a computer running terminal emulation software) to the serial console port on the switch and using the switchs resident management software to set the parameters. Refer to Connecting Ethernet Switch to the PC on page 33. For customized switch configurations, refer to the documentation included with the switch for command line entry instructions on configuring a specific switch model. To avoid the possibility of address conflicts, IP addresses for managed switches are automatically assigned by the system configurator (SysDef or IACC). Once the configurator has selected the IP addresses, each switch must be configured with its IP address (refer to The MESH Control Network Addresses in The MESH Control Network Architecture Guide (B0700AZ), or the Note on selecting an IP address on page 45 for an I/A Series control network, as appropriate). For information on using the system configurator, refer to: I/A Series System Definition: A Step-by-Step Procedure (B0193WQ) or I/A Series Configuration Component (IACC) Users Guide (B0400BP). While using SysDef, record the address of the station monitoring the switch. There is a switch parameter named TRAP under the SNMP Configuration menu that you should set based on this IP address. ! CAUTION Do not mirror active ports to other used ports. Doing so results in an excessive increase in the traffic levels routed by the switches.
32
B0700CF Rev A
NOTE
When adding a switch or blade to the network, clear the NVRAM, or return the switch to the Factory Default Configuration to obtain default settings before configuring the switch.
NOTE
Uplink (ISL) ports should be installed and configured first. Otherwise, configured information may be lost when the uplink ports are installed. This chapter provides generic configuration information that applies to all Ethernet switches and specific procedures for the switches that have been tested and qualified by Invensys for use with I/A Series systems. The configuration information is presented as follows: Generic Switch Parameters on page 34 Connecting Ethernet Switch to the PC on page 33 Switch Configuration on page 36
Connecting Ethernet Switch to the PC

The Network Administrator computer (laptop recommended) needs to be connected to the switchs CLI port (for example, serial port) through the computers COM port using cable P0973EY. Figure 4-2 shows the connection from a PC to the Ethernet switches. The A4-series switches use P0973EY, a 9-pin D connector on their CLI port to connect to the 9-pin D connector on the PC (see Table 4-1).

Edge Switches
An edge switch is a switch which will not be configured as a root or backup bridge. The edge switch usually interfaces I/A Series system devices (Control Processors, FCMs, and so forth) to the root switches. Multiple root switches can be configured to take over as roots by adjusting the Bridge Priority Value. However, normally only two roots exist, primary and backup root switch, all other switches are defined as edge switches.
35
B0700CF Rev A
NOTE
The concept of root and edge switches is not applicable to the I/A Series control network.
Switch Configuration
Configuration for The MESH control network differs for the: 24-Port Copper / Fiber switches (P0973JM/P0973JN) 8x8 switch (P0973JP)
NOTE
To configure the A4-series switches for I/A Series software, Version 7.x as part of the I/A Series control network, refer to Appendix B Configuring A4-Series Switches for I/A Series Software Version 7.x on page 43. The A4-series switches (P0973JM, P0973JN, P0973JP) must be booted with a supported version of I/A Series qualified and compatible firmware. (Refer to the Appendix Qualified Switch Firmware Compatibilities Matrix in The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) for supported versions.) To configure these switches, it is recommended that you refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) and use the latest Switch Configurator Application Software to configure this switch.
Resetting Password
The switchs Command Line Interface (CLI) locks out after three incorrect password attempts and remains locked out for 15 minutes. The Reset Password switch remains non-functional for those 15 minutes.
NOTE
Power must be applied to the unit before the 15 minute lockout can expire. If you forget the switchs login password, use the Reset Password switch as described in the following procedure.
36
B0700CF Rev A
Reset Password Switch Figure 4-3. A4-Series Reset Password Switch
To reset the A4-series switch password, refer to Figure 4-3 and proceed as follows: 1. Press and hold the Reset Password switch while the switch is operational. This change of the login password to the default password will be indicated via CLI only. 2. Login to the device management (see Logging In on page 32). Now, you can login to the switch via the console port and assign a new password. For information on changing the password settings, refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA, Rev. H or later) document, in the section Changing Switch Password and Settings.

Appendix B. Configuring A4-Series Switches for I/A Series Software Version 7.x
This appendix discusses the manner for configuring A4-series switches for use in an I/A Series control network connected to workstations running I/A Series software, Version 7.x. For more information on the I/A Series control network, refer to Control Network Users Guide (B0400DV). The A4-series switches (P0973JM, P0973JN, P0973JP) must be booted with a supported version of I/A Series qualified and compatible firmware. (Refer to the Appendix Qualified Switch Firmware Compatibilities Matrix in The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) for supported versions.) To configure these switches, it is recommended that you refer to The MESH Control Network Operation, and Switch Installation and Configuration Guide (B0700CA) and use the latest Switch Configurator Application Software to configure this switch.
Software Configuration for I/A Series Software Version 7.x

To configure A4-series switches (P0973JN, P0973JM, and P0973JP) for use with workstations running I/A Series software, Version 7.x, proceed as follows: 1. Connect the workstation to the switch. a. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a workstation (COM1 or COM2). b. Connect the other end of the cable to the COM port on the switch. c. On an XP/NT/2000 workstation: click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal. d. In the name box, type: INVENSYS SWITCHES. Click OK. e. Select the appropriate serial port to which the switch is connected (COM1 or COM2). f. The COM1/COM2 properties dialog opens, the settings should be: Bits Per Second: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 g. Click OK.

B0700CF Rev A
Appendix B. Configuring A4-Series Switches for I/A Series
NOTE
When using HyperTerminal software with the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs. 2. Log-in to the switch with a default user account. a. When asked for your user name, type: admin. Press <Enter>. b. When asked for your password, press <Enter>. 3. To provide better security to the switch, change the password and login functions:
NOTE
The password must be at least 8 characters long. In the following steps, ******** is the user defined password for this switch. Passwords are not displayed on the console screen.
A4 (su)-> set password admin Please enter new password: ******** Please re-enter new password: ******** Password changed. A4 (su)-> set system login ro read-only disable A4 (su)-> set system login rw read-write disable
4. To clear the switch configuration:

NOTE
The following command should be performed before configuring the switch to ensure the switch is in a known state. This command resets the switch.
A4 (su)-> clear config
5. At this point, the stacking ports must be configured as uplink (ISL) ports.
NOTE
The following command resets the switch.

A4 (su)-> set switch stack-port ethernet A4 (su)-> Y
44
B0700CF Rev A
NOTE
When an A4-series switch has the front panel uplink (ISL) ports configured in Ethernet mode, clear config will not change the uplink (ISL) ports to stacking mode. The clear config all command will set the uplink (ISL) ports to stacking mode. 6. Once the switch has booted, set up the IP address of the switch. Enter the IP address (151.128.79.nnn) that was assigned to the switch defined by the SysDef or IACC during the I/A Series system configuration.
NOTE
When selecting the IP address, in order to avoid the possibility of address conflicts, IP addresses for managed switches should be assigned sequentially beginning with address 151.128.79.1 and continuing through 151.128.79.192. For example, the first configured switch should be assigned an address of 151.128.79.1, the second configured switch should be 151.128.79.2, and so forth. In the event that more than 192 addresses are needed, the block of addresses from 151.128.80.1 through 151.128.80.192 can be used for additional switches.
A4 (su)-> set ip address 151.128.79.nnn mask 255.255.0.0
7. Set the switchs ID. The name you assigned to the switch (for example, letterbug) during system configuration should be assigned to the switch (for example, SW0001).
A4 (su)-> set system name SW0001 A4 (su)-> set system location Bldg N32-049 A4 (su)-> set system contact Joe Smith ext. 555
NOTE
If an uplink (ISL) GBIC port is added or removed from the switch hardware configuration, the following steps (8-13) must be entered to ensure proper operation. 8. Set up port configuration, as follows. For fiber and copper switches (P0973JN, P0973JM, and P0973JP):
A4 (su)-> set flowcontrol disable A4 (su)-> set port lacp port *.*.* disable A4 (su)-> set port negotiation ge.1.* enable A4 (su)-> set mac agetime 65000 A4 (su)-> set port negotiation fe.1.* disable A4 (su)-> set port duplex fe.*.* full A4 (su)-> set port speed fe.1.* 100 A4 (su)-> set port negotiation fe.1.1;fe.1.3;fe.1.5;fe.1.7;fe.1.9;fe.1.11;fe.1.13;fe.1.15 disable
In addition, for the copper switch (P0973JM):

If the Fast Ethernet port is to be used as an uplink (ISL) port, disable the port admin-
denotes the port to be used as an uplink (ISL) port. Example 1: The following example disables adminedge on ports 1 through 4.
A4 (su)-> set spantree adminedge fe.1.1-4 false
Example 2: The following example disables adminedge on ports 2 and 4.

A4 (su)-> set spantree adminedge fe.1.2;fe.1.4 false A4 (su)-> set gvrp disable A4 (su)-> set gvrp disable *.*.* A4 (su)-> set cdp state disable A4 (su)-> set cdp state disable *.*.* A4 (su)-> set SSH disable A4 (su)-> set telnet disable all A4 (su)-> set webview disable
10. Configure security for the switch.
! CAUTION Leaving unused Ethernet ports enabled is a high security risk. It is recommended that all unused Ethernet and uplink (ISL) ports be disabled. 11. Disable unused ports as recommended above.
# A4 (su)-> set port disable fe.1.#
