The VSP 8000 Series supports two field-replaceable 800-W
power supplies. One power supply ships with the unit and you
can optionally install a second power supply for redundancy.
If you install a second power supply, the load is shared equally
and neither one acts as a primary power supply.
Use this procedure to install either the primary or redundant
power supply.
4Install power supply unit
• There are two power supply slots (PSU1 on top and PSU2 on
the bottom). If you only have one power supply, you can install it
in either PSU1 or PSU2.
• The switch ships with filler panels covering the power supply
slots. If you’re not installing a second power supply, you must
leave one of the filler panels in place for proper cooling.
• You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational.
One power supply is required for continued
switch operation.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the filler panel to the
chassis. (Save the filler panel for possible future use.)
2. Insert the power supply into the slot.
3. Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot (AC PSU
shown). The spring latch should engage and move back to its
original position as shown below:
Notes:
• The chassis design prevents an incorrect installation of a
power supply. If you insert a power supply upside down, it will
not fully insert.
• The spring latch design ensures that you remove the power
cord before removing a power supply from the chassis. If you
don’t remove the cord, you cannot move the latch to the left to
release the hooks from the chassis.
4. After you install a power supply, proceed with connecting either
the AC power cord or the DC power supply wiring assembly.
5. Check the LED on the power supply. If it is off, the power supply
is not operating. If it is green, the power supply is operating
normally.
There are two ways to install an Avaya VSP 8000 switch in an
equipment rack. Refer to one of the following sections:
• Mount the switch using the supplied bracket.
• Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit.
Note: For more details on installing the VSP 8000 Series, see
Avaya VSP 8000 Series Installation (NN47200-300).
5Mount the VSP 8000 switch
3. Slide the switch onto a shelf in the rack as illustrated.
4. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.

Prepare the rack
• Ensure that there is enough rack space to accommodate a
2RU switch (8.8 cm).
•The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.
•The rack is grounded to the same grounding electrode used
by the power service in the area. The ground path must be
permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from
the rack to the grounding electrode.
Mount the switch using the supplied bracket
Caution: Avaya strongly recommends using the mounting
brackets with a shelf. Using the brackets without a shelf can
cause damage to the rack because of the chassis weight.
When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units
directly on top of one another.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the switch.
2. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch as illustrated below.
• Use the front set of holes for a 4–post rack installation.
• Use the set of holes near the center of the chassis for a
2–post rack installation.

Check the front-panel LED as the device powers on to be sure
the PWR LED is green. If it’s not, make sure the power cord is
plugged in correctly. The switch will power on immediately
when it is connected to a suitable power source.
6Power Up
Note: Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and
operating normally. Verify that the transceivers and network
cabling support your network configuration. For a complete list of
supported transceivers, see the Release Notes for your VSP
8000 model.
1. Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.
2. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the
network configuration.
3. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.
4. Insert the transceiver into the proper SFP/SFP+ slot on the
switch as illustrated. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver
until it clicks and locks into position in the slot.

Use one of the following steps to configure either an
in-band or an out-of-band management interface.
Step 2a:
Configure an in-band management IP interface and VLAN
Note: The following procedure uses VLAN 20 and IP address
10.139.43.17 as an example.
1. Create a VLAN:
Switch:1(config)# vlan create 20 type port-mstprstp 0
2. Add VLAN members:
Switch:1(config)# vlan members add 20 1/1-1/4
3. Activate ports:
Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitEthernet1/1-1/4
Switch:1(config-if)# no shutdown
4. Configure an IP interface for the VLAN:
Switch:1(config)# interface vlan 20
Switch:1(config)# ip address 10.139.43.17 255.255.255.0
5. Add a static route:
Switch:1(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.139.43.1
weight 1
1. Connect the console cable from the terminal to the
console port (l0l0l) of the switch to allow initial
configuration. Any terminal or PC with the appropriate
terminal emulator can be used as the management
station.
2. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal
emulation program to VT100 or VT100/ANSI.
3. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal
emulation application.

PEC Code Name Short Description
Avaya RJ-45/DB-9
CONSOLE CABLE
The VSP 8000 has an RJ-45 female
connector, so a serial cable with
RJ-45 connectors, or a serial cable
with a DB-9 female connector on
one end and an RJ-45 on the other
is appropriate.
The maximum length for the console
port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).
Converts DB-9 MALE to RJ-45 serial
port. The adaptor can be used for
PC or device with DB-9 MALE
console port. Also, can be used with
Category 5 RJ-45 straight cable to
provide console connection.
Converts DB-9 FEMALE to RJ-45
serial port. This adaptor can be used
to convert DB-9 of AL2011013-E6
console cable to RJ-45.

On your VSP 8000 switch, the console port (l0l0l) is the RJ-45
port outlined with a blue border on the front of your switch
(note orientation). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the
switch console port to your management terminal. Use
adaptors to provide different connection options. The
maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).
The following tables describe the RJ-45 and DB-9 console port
pin-out information. You can use the pin-out information to
verify or create a console cable for use with your maintenance
terminal.
DB–9 Console port pin assignments
1Connect the console cable to the VSP 8000
2Configure a management interface
Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit
Use the VSP 8000 Universal Slide Rack Mount Kit to install
your switch in equipment racks with a depth from 300mm to
900mm. This kit is a separately ordered item (Part #
EC8011002). For installation information, see the instructions
that come with the kit. They are also in Installing the Avaya
VSP 8000 Series (NN47227-300).
Step 2b:
Configure an out-of-band management IP interface and
VLAN
1. Configure the management interface:
Switch:1(config)# interface mgmtEthernet mgmt
Switch:1(config-if)# ip address 10.139.43.17/24
2. Configure static routes:
Switch:1(config)# router vrf mgmtrouter
Switch:1(config-vrf)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.139.43.1
