About This Guide Who Should Read this Manual?
OmniSwitch 6450 Series Hardware Users Guide November 2011 page ix
Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this users guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to config-
ure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge on the OmniSwitch 6450 Series hardware will benefit from the material in this guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as you are ready to familiarize yourself with your switch hardware components.
You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the brief hardware overviews
in the OmniSwitch 6450 Series Getting Started Guide.
You should already be familiar with the very basics of the switch hardware, such as module LEDs and
module installation procedures. This manual will help you understand your switch hardware components
(e.g., chassis, cables, power supplies, etc.) in greater depth.
What is in this Manual?
This users guide includes the following hardware-related information:
•Descriptions of switch configurations.
•Descriptions of “availability” features.
•Descriptions of chassis types (e.g., OmniSwitch 6450-10).
•Instructions for mounting the chassis.
•Descriptions of hardware components (status LEDs, chassis, cables, backup power supplies, etc.).
•Managing a chassis.
•Hardware-related Command Line Interface (CLI) commands
What is Not in this Manual?
The descriptive and procedural information in this manual focuses on switch hardware. It includes infor-
mation on some CLI commands that pertain directly to hardware configuration, but it is not intended as a
software users guide. There are several OmniSwitch 6450 Series users guides that focus on switch soft-
ware configuration. Consult those guides for detailed information and examples for configuring your
switch software to operate in a live network environment. See “Documentation Roadmap” on page -x and
“Related Documentation” on page -xii for further information on software configuration guides available
for your switch.

How is the Information Organized? About This Guide
page x OmniSwitch 6450 Series Hardware Users Guide November 2011
How is the Information Organized?
This users guide provides an overview of OmniSwitch 6450 Series switches, specifications of the hard-
ware components, steps for setting up and managing OmniSwitch 6450 Series switches, and an overview
and procedures for managing Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Documentation Roadmap
The OmniSwitch user documentation suite was designed to supply you with information at several critical
junctures of the configuration process.The following section outlines a roadmap of the manuals that will
help you at each stage of the configuration process. Under each stage, we point you to the manual or
manuals that will be most helpful to you.
Stage 1: Using the Switch for the First Time
Pertinent Documentation: Getting Started Guide
Release Notes
The Getting Started Guide provides all the information you need to get your switch up and running the
first time. This guide provides information on unpacking the switch, installing power supplies, unlocking
access control, setting the switch’s IP address, and setting up a password. It also includes succinct over-
view information on fundamental aspects of the switch, such as hardware LEDs, the software directory
structure, CLI conventions, and web-based management.
At this time you should also familiarize yourself with the Release Notes that accompanied your switch.
This document includes important information on feature limitations that are not included in other user
guides.
Stage 2: Gaining Familiarity with Basic Switch Functions
Pertinent Documentation: Hardware Users Guide
Switch Management Guide
Once you have your switch up and running, you will want to begin investigating basic aspects of its hard
ware and software. Information about switch hardware is provided in the Hardware Users Guide. This
guide provide specifications, illustrations, and descriptions of all hardware components—e.g., chassis,
backup power supplies, etc.
The Switch Management Guide is the primary user guide for the basic software features on a switch. This
guide contains information on the switch directory structure, basic file and directory utilities, switch access
security, SNMP, and web-based management. It is recommended that you read this guide before connect-
ing your switch to the network.

About This Guide Documentation Roadmap
OmniSwitch 6450 Series Hardware Users Guide November 2011 page xi
Stage 3: Integrating the Switch Into a Network
Pertinent Documentation: Network Configuration Guide
When you are ready to connect your switch to the network, you will need to learn how the OmniSwitch
implements fundamental software features, such as 802.1Q, VLANs, and Spanning Tree. The Network
Configuration Guide contains overview information, procedures and examples on how standard network-
ing technologies are configured in the OmniSwitch.
Anytime
The OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide contains comprehensive information on all CLI commands
supported by the switch. This guide includes syntax, default, usage, example, related CLI command, and
CLI-to-MIB variable mapping information for all CLI commands supported by the switch. This guide can
be consulted anytime during the configuration process to find detailed and specific information on each
CLI command.

Availability Features OmniSwitch 6450 Series
page 1-4 OmniSwitch 6450 Series Hardware Users Guide November 2011
Availability Features
OmniSwitch 6450 Series switches incorporate advanced Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) proto-
cols to ensure high availability for mission critical applications. Availability features are hardware- and
software-based safeguards that help to prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem
failure.
In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components without
powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help to ensure that the switch or virtual chassis is consistently available for high-impact
network operations.
Hardware-related availability features include:
•Software Rollback
•Hot Swapping
•Hardware Monitoring
Software Rollback
Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the switch to return to a prior “last
known good” version of software in the event of a system software
problem. The switch controls software rollback through its resilient directory structure design
(i.e., /flash/working and /flash/certified).
For detailed information on the software rollback feature, as well as the switch’s /flash/working and
/flash/certified directories, refer to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the Switch
Management Guide.
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing components without powering off
switches or disrupting other components.This feature facilitates hardware upgrades and maintenance and
allows users to easily replace components in the unlikely event of hardware failure.
The following components can be hot swapped:
•Transceivers

OmniSwitch 6450 Series Availability Features
OmniSwitch 6450 Series Hardware Users Guide November 2011 page 1-5
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an
error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The
trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message.
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the chassis front panel. LEDs are used to
indicate conditions such as hardware and software status, temperature errors, link integrity, data flow, etc.
For detailed LED descriptions, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6450 Series Chassis and Hardware
Components.”
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. Monitoring information for chassis components, such as the optional back up power supply,
chassis temperature sensor, and chassis fans is provided in Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6450 Series Chassis
and Hardware Components.” The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
