Chapter 2

Cabling the Switch

This chapter describes how to connect the cables that you must use with the

Switch, including pinouts for local area networks (LAN) connections, and how

to read the LEDs when the Switch is powered on.

LAN Speed Selection

The Switch automatically determines the speed of the LAN connection during

power-up. To change the speed simply power down the Switch, connect to the

desired LAN, and power the unit back up.

LAN Interface

100BASE-TX connections require Category 5, twisted-pair wire. The

100BASE-TX specification supports 100Mbps transmission over two pairs of

Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet wiring; one pair each for transmit and

receive operations.

100 meters is the maximum recommended cable segment length

between a 100BASE-TX repeater and a workstation (due to signal

timing requirements). This wiring scheme complies with the EIA 568

wiring standard.

10BASE-T

connections can use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.

Cabling the Switch

Connector Pinouts

The LAN connectors on the Switch are RJ-45 straight-through. The

following illustration shows the Switch connector's 10/100BASE-TX

pinouts.

Figure 2

10/100BASE-TX Pinouts

Optional WAN Interface

The WAN connectors are located on a PCI card that is installed in the switch.

Two DB26S connectors provide the signals needed to interface to V.35

equipment. Included in the accessory box are two cables that map the DB26S

signals to a standard V.35 connector. The cable pin-outs are shown below.

Cabling the Switch 5

Note that you will need a DSU/CSU (digital service unit/channel service unit)

between the WAN connection and the Switch.

Serial Cable

The serial cable provided with the Switch is a DB9/DB25-to-DB9/DB25. This

provides a cross-over (transmit-to-receive and receive-to-transmit). The DB9

connector goes into the Switch and the other DB9 or DB25 connector goes

into your workstation or terminal. You should ignore the extra DB25

connection that is attached.

Connecting the Cables

1. Connect the 10/100BASE-TX LAN RJ-45 connector to the Switch.

2. Connect the power cord to the back of the Switch and to the electrical outlet.

3. Additionally, if you have LAN or WAN cards in Slots 1 through 3, connect

those cables (refer to Installing Optional Cards on page 44).

NOTE

: Slot 4 is not supported.

Extranet Switch Back View

Bay Networks ships a serial cable with the Switch. You can provide the Switch

with a Management IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway address

via the Serial Interface (refer to page 14 for details). Bay Networks, however,

recommends that you use the IP Address Configuration Utility diskette for

easy initial IP address configuration (refer to page 12).

Understanding the Lights and LEDs

The Power light is green when the power is on; if it is flashing, there is a

hardware failure and you should contact Bay Networks.

The Reset light is green, and when it flashes the Switch is either reading or

writing to the disk. You can press the Reset button to restart the Switch,

however, Bay Networks recommends that you restart the Switch from the

System Shutdown display (refer to the Administrator's Guide for details).

Power on the Switch and confirm that the interfaces are cabled properly by

examining the two LEDs located adjacent to the RJ-45 connector of the LAN

port, or the LEDs located on the card panel.

Figure 5 shows the LAN Port LEDs and Figure 6 shows the PCI card

10/100BASE-TX LAN LEDs. Look at the condition of the LEDs, then examine

the corresponding LED tables to better understand the indications.

Chapter 3

Assigning a System Identity

This section describes two methods, IP Address Configuration Utility and

Serial Interface Configuration Procedure, that allow you to assign a

Management IP Address, subnet mask, and optional default gateway address

to your Extranet Switch. The Management IP Address is the address that is

used for all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. The Management

IP Address will enable you to manage the Switch from a Web browser.

Figure 7 shows the choices you have when first configuring your

Management IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The IP

Address Configuration Utility is on a diskette that comes with your Switch.

Figure 7 − Initial Management IP Address Configuration

Assigning a System Identity

10

Startup Configuration Requirements

This section provides descriptions of the fields that you must complete with

either the IP Address Configuration Utility or the Serial Interface

Configuration procedure.

Management IP Address

Enter a Management IP Address for the system. You need this address to

manage all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. This address

must be accessible from one of the Switch's private physical interfaces. In

order to do so, the Management IP Address must map to the same network

as one of the private interfaces.

For example, if you are planning on assigning IP address 10.2.3.3 with

the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, then the

Management IP Address must reside in the 10.2 network.

Carefully record the Management IP Address. Later, during the Quick

Start or the Guided Configuration, you will be asked to supply IP

addresses for the physical interfaces.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask defines how many bits of the IP Address represent the

network the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on

the network.

The device uses the Subnet Mask to determine which IP Addresses are

directly reachable on the network and which must be routed through a

gateway. A sample IP Address is 10.2.3.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0.

This indicates that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.

Default Gateway

The Default Gateway is where packets are routed onto the private network if

there is not a specific route in the routing table to the desired location.

Assigning a System Identity

11

Private and Public Interfaces

The Bay Networks Extranet Switch provides secure access between your local

area network (LAN) and Public Data Networks like the Internet. Throughout

this document the term Private refers to the LAN within your corporation,

and the term Public refers to Public Data Networks. This concept is

important because the Public interface accepts only tunneled protocols, while

the Private interface accepts both regular (nontunneled) and tunneled

protocols. You must be careful to correctly configure each interface of the

Switch for proper network security.

The LAN port is configured to be Private by default. Bay Networks

recommends that you connect this interface to your corporate LAN.

Additional interfaces that are inserted into the expansion slots are set to

Public by default.

Private

Indicates that this interface is attached to the internal corporate LAN and

accepts regular networking protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, etc. The

Private interface also accepts tunneled protocols (e.g., IPsec, PPTP, L2TP,

and L2F) that can be used for secure management access to the Switch.

Public

Indicates that this interface is attached to a Public Data Network like the

Internet. The Switch rejects nontunneled protocols and only accepts tunneled

protocols like IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and L2F. For diagnostic purposes, the

ability to PING the Public interface is also supported.

Assigning a System Identity

12

IP Address Configuration Utility

Bay Networks provides a utility to perform the initial configuration of a Switch.

Requirements

To assign the Switch a Management IP Address with the Bay Networks IP

Address Configuration Utility you must have the following:

• A PC running Windows 95 or Windows NT with a functioning

TCP/IP stack.

• The PC must be running on the same subnet as the Switch that is

to be configured, and it must have an operational network

connection.

If your environment does not match these requirements, then you must use

the serial interface configuration.

To test the function of your TCP/IP stack, send a PING command to any host.

Running the IP Configuration Utility

The program "BayNetIP.exe" is on a diskette labeled "IP Address

Configuration Utility" that accompanies the Switch. You can copy the utility

to your hard disk and execute it from there, or you can load it from the

diskette drive. The "BayNetIP.exe" program launches the IP Address

Configuration Utility, which allows you to assign a Management IP Address

and subnet mask to the Switch. To run "BayNetIP.exe," follow these steps:

1. Insert the diskette into the A: drive and select Start→Run:

a:\BayNetIP.exe

or, open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and open the "3

Floppy (A:)" drive, then double-click on the icon:

Assigning a System Identity

13

The following display appears while the program searches for a Bay

Networks Switch that has not been configured with a Management IP

Address and subnet mask.

Figure 8 − Serial Number Search Display

2. The program automatically enters the Serial Number for the first

Switch discovered into the table of discovered Switches.

Figure 9 − IP Address Configuration Utility Display

3. Assign a Management IP Address and Subnet Mask to the Switch;

the Default Gateway address is optional and can be added later (refer

to Startup Configuration Requirements on page 10 for descriptions of

the required fields).

If you have more than one Switch, click Search to automatically add

the additional Switch serial numbers. To verify the Switches that

have been discovered, you can refer to the serial number on the bar

code on the back of the Switch.
