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.

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.
Figure 4
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 StartRun:
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.
