Hot-Swapping
Hot-swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing certain hardware components without
powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the chassis. This feature greatly facilitates
hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely
event of hardware failure. The following hardware components can be hot-swapped:
• Power supplies
• Transceivers
• Plug-in modules
Note. For information on adding and removing power supplies and plug-in modules, refer to Chapter 3,
“Chassis and Power Supplies.”
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 front and rear panels. LEDs are used
to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed
LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.
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. The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.
Note. For information on configuring a Virtual Chassis (VC), refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8
Switch Management Guide.
Items Required
• Grounding wrist strap
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-blade screwdriver
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 6860 switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:
• The installation site must maintain a temperature between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 113° Fahrenheit)
and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-condensing) at any time.
• Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation at the front, back, and sides of the switch.
Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on page 2-4 for minimum clearance requirements. No clearance is
necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.
Electrical Requirements
Note. Alcatel-Lucent switches must be installed by a professional installer. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that proper grounding is available and that the installation meets applicable local and
national electrical codes.
Redundant AC Power. It is recommended that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With
redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supplies (on separate circuits) can
remain operational.
• For switches using DC power, refer to the “DC Power Supply Connections” on page 3-37 for
more information.
• Every power supply that is connected to building power should be earth grounded.
• Earth grounding for the power cable, should be verified to be 0.01 ohm or less.
• Each switch should be grounded to same earth ground as the power supply.
2 Shielded cables (STP) offer some minimal level of additional protection over unshielded Ethernet
cables (UTP) but the use of a surge protector is still recommended.
• It is suggested to use STP Cat5e or better for 1Gbps Ethernet switches for any outdoor application or
applications where Ethernet cables come in close proximity to alternating current conductors.
• Always install cables according to manufacturer requirements.
3 For any connections where integrity of the cabling within a building ground is questionable (i.e outdoor
connections), copper Ethernet ports must be connected with an appropriate surge protection device, inline,
between the PSE and PD per the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and grounding.
4 Caution should be taken for any cable connected to any outdoor device, not only on the device ground-
ing, but to ensure that any outdoor device cables that could carry surge currents, do not pass those surge
currents to upstream Ethernet switches.
5 Caution - Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large amounts of static electricity
due to the dielectric properties of their construction materials in addition, this build up of electricity could
lead to a Cable Discharge Event (CDE). A CDE can occur due to the differential in charges on the cable
and the equipment it’s being connected to. It is recommended that installers momentarily ground all
copper Ethernet cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connect-
ing them to the port.
Note. Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in voiding the warranty of the affected
ALE product.
Items Included
Your OmniSwitch 6860 includes the following items:
• OmniSwitch chassis with power supplies, per order
• Transceivers, per order
• Blank cover panel
• Rack mount brackets
• Micro USB-to-USB cable
• Country-specific power cord(s)
• Rubber table-mounting feet
• Attachment screws
• Assorted instructional cards, anti-static bags and additional packaging
Weight Considerations
Depending on model type, an empty OmniSwitch 6860 chassis weighs between 4.45 kg (9.8 lbs) and
5.03 kg (11.1 lbs).
When fully populated with power supplies and mounting brackets, the OmniSwitch 6860 can weigh up to
6.49 kg (14.3 lbs). (Weights to not include transceivers or cabling.)
Airflow Considerations
To ensure proper airflow, be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated area and provide minimum
recommended clearance at the front, back and sides of the switch.
Never obstruct chassis air vents.
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis.
Note. For additional information on cabling for console, EMP, USB, Bluetooth and other connections,
refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide.
For information on modifying these settings, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch
Management Guide.
For information on manually configuring Ethernet ports, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network
Configuration Guide.
Note. If you have more than one power supply installed, be sure to plug in each power supply in rapid
succession, (i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that there will be adequate power for all
components throughout the boot process.
Component LEDs
During the boot process, component LEDs will flash and change color, indicating different stages of the boot.
Following a successful boot, chassis LEDs should display as follows:
If the LEDs do not display as indicated, make sure the boot process is complete. If the LEDs do not display as
indicated following a complete boot sequence, contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support. For complete
information on LED states, refer to “Chassis Status LEDs” on page 3-21.
Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed your computer’s terminal emulation software
via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic
information. Continue to “Your First Login Session” on page 2-7.
Important. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before initiating your first login
session.
->
Note. A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. Privileges determine whether
the user has read or write access to the switch and which commands the user is authorized to execute. For
detailed information on setting up and modifying user accounts, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8
Switch Management Guide.
Note. You should be connected to the switch via the console port before attempting to change IP
address information.
To change the default IP and mask, use the ip interface command. For example:
-> ip interface emp address 168.22.2.120 mask 255.255.255.0
Verify your settings using the show ip interface command. See the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch
Management Guide for additional information regarding EMP port addressing.
Note. Although you have configured the EMP with valid IP address information, you will not be able to
access the switch through this port (i.e. TELNET, FTP, HTTP, SSH or SNMP) until you have unlocked
these remote session types. See “Unlocking Session Types” on page 2-9 for more information.
Note. When you unlock session types, you are granting switch access to non-local sessions (e.g., Telnet).
As a result, users who know the correct user login and password will have remote access to the switch. For
more information on switch security, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide.
You cannot specify more than one session type in a single command line. However, you can still unlock
multiple session types by using the aaa authentication command in succession. For example:
-> aaa authentication http local
-> aaa authentication telnet local
-> aaa authentication ftp local
Refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for complete aaa authentication command syntax options.
1 Be sure that you have logged into the switch as user type admin (see “Logging In to the Switch” on
page 2-7).
2 Enter the keyword password and press Enter.
Note. Be sure to remember or securely record all new passwords; overriding configured passwords on an
OmniSwitch is restricted.
4 You will be prompted to re-enter the password. Enter the password a second time.
New password settings are automatically saved in real time to the local user database; the user is not required
to enter an additional command in order to save the password information. Also note that new password
information is retained following a reboot. All subsequent login sessions, including those through the console
port, will require the new password to access the switch.
For detailed information on managing login information, including user names and passwords, refer to the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide.

Airflow Recommendations
To ensure proper airflow, be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated area and provide minimum
recommended clearance at the front, back and sides of the switch, as shown below. Restricted airflow can
cause your switch to overheat, which can lead to switch failure. Refer to the following important
guidelines regarding airflow:
Follow the guidelines below regarding the minimum clearance requirements when mounting
the chassis.
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis.
Note. Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis components, blank cover panels
should be installed over empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.
Face arrow up
when installing.
2 Insert the blank cover panel in the empty chassis slot and secure using attachment screws (provided).
Rack-Mounting
Refer to the following important guidelines before installing the chassis in a rack:
• Two people are required to rack mount the switch: One person to lift the chassis into position and one
person to secure the chassis to the rack using the rack mount screws.
• The chassis has rack-mount flanges that support standard 19-inch rack mount installations.
• Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the screws supplied by the
rack vendor.
• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install the switch at the bottom
of the rack whenever possible.
Note. If you are installing the switch in a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per rack manu-
facturer’s specifications.

4 Secure the flange to the chassis using the attachment screw (provided).
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the flange on the opposite side of the chassis.
2 One person should lift and position the chassis until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the
rack post.
3 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes marked in step 1.
4 Once the holes are aligned, the second person should insert a screw through the bottom hole on each
flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.
5 Install the remaining screws in the top hole of each flange. Be sure that all screws are
securely tightened.
Note. Never attempt to operate a switch while it is placed on its top or side.
Power Supplies
OmniSwitch 6860 switches use four (4) power supply types:
OmniSwitch 6860 power supplies are located at the rear of the switch chassis. Refer to “OmniSwitch 6860
Chassis Details” for more information on component locations. Two slots are provided. If a second power
supply is installed, it will assume a standby role.
Please note that the OS6860 does not provide an on/off switch. Connecting an installed power supply to a
power source will boot the switch. Likewise, disconnecting all installed power supplies from a power
source will power off the switch.
Dying Gasp
If the switch loses all power it will maintain power long enough to send a Dying Gasp message before
completely shutting down. An SNMP trap, Syslog message and Link OAM PDUs will be generated.
Scenarios
A Dying Gasp event will be generated in the following scenarios:
• Primary power supply failure (if only power supply present)
• Primary power supply failure and then backup power supply failure
• Backup power supply failure and then primary power supply failure
Note. Connect each power supply to a separate independent power source to avoid simultaneous
power failures.
SNMP Trap
As soon as the power failure is detected, an SNMP trap is sent to the first three configured SNMP stations.
The trap includes the following information:
• Slot number
Use the snmp station command and refer to the SNMP Configuration chapter for information on
configuring an SNMP station.
Syslog Message
As soon as the power failure is detected, the following Syslog message is sent to the first three configured
Syslog servers, along with the time of the failure:
Use the swlog output socket command to add a Syslog station. Refer to the Using Switch Logging
Configuration chapter in the Network Configuration Guide for information on configuring a Syslog server.
Note. The maximum number ports which can send out a dying gasp PDU simultaneously is limited to ten
ports minus the number of Syslog/SNMP servers configured. For example, if two SNMP servers and one
Syslog server are configured, the maximum number of ports which can send out a dying gasp PDU is
seven.

Connection Details
For DC power supply units, make the following power connections:
Connect the power supply using the supplied DC cable. The cable consists of three 12AWG wires (Green/
Yellow, Black, Red).
One end of the cable has a three pin connector in a plastic housing that is inserted into a three pin input
connector on the power supply. The other end of the cable is connected to a fuse panel or other source of
-48VDC power.
Observe proper polarity when connecting to a fuse panel. The cable wire leads must be connected as
follows:
• Green/yellow - ground
• Black - return
• Red - -48VDC
Note. The power supply shown in the following diagrams is a OS6860-BP-PH/OS6860-BP-PX unit.
However, comparable installation and removal steps also apply to OS6860-BP and OS6860-BP-D power
supply units, as well as the OS6860 FANTRAY NONPOE Fan Tray (see page 3-43).

To check the switch’s current temperature status, use the show temperature command. For example:
For more information about this command, see the “Chassis Management and Monitoring Commands”
chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the ambient air temperature at all times via an onboard sensor. If an over-temperature
condition occurs, there are two different levels of error severity:
• Warning threshold has been exceeded
Warning Threshold
If the temperature exceeds the switch’s user-configurable warning threshold, the switch sends out a trap.
Traps are printed to the console in the form of text error messages.
When the warning threshold has been exceeded, switch operations remain active. However, it is
recommended that immediate steps be taken to address the over-temperature condition.
Addressing warning threshold temperature conditions may include:
• Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
• Verifying that the warning threshold has not been manually set too low.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides inline power directly from the switch’s Ethernet ports. Powered
Devices (PDs) such as IP phones, wireless LAN stations, Ethernet hubs, and other access points can be
plugged directly into the Ethernet. From these RJ-45 the devices receive both electrical power and
data flow.
As the feature reduces devices’ dependence on conventional power sources, PoE eliminates many restric-
tions that traditional electrical considerations have imposed on networks.
In a PoE configuration, Power Source Equipment (PSE) detects the presence of a PD and provides an elec-
trical current that is conducted along the data cable. The PD operates using the power received via the
Ethernet data cable; no connection to an additional power source (e.g., an AC wall socket) is required.
Note on Terminology. There are several general terms used to describe the feature, PoE. The terms Power
over Ethernet (PoE), Power over LAN (PoL), Power on LAN (PoL), and Inline Power are synonymous
terms used to describe the powering of attached devices via Ethernet. For consistency, this chapter and the
CLI Command Reference Guide refer to the feature as Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Additional terms, such as Powered Device (PD) and Power Source Equipment (PSE) are not synonymous
with PoE, but are directly related to the feature:
• PD refers to any attached device that uses a PoE data cable as its only source of power. Examples
include access points, IP telephones, Ethernet hubs, wireless LAN stations, etc.
• PSE refers to power sourcing equipment, which provides power to a single link section. PSE main
functions include searching the PD, optionally classifying the PD, supplying power to the link section
only if the PD is detected, monitoring the power on the link section, and scaling power back to detect
level when power is no longer requested or required.
As the switches fully support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, you may also attach non-PD equipment,
such as computer workstations, printers, servers, etc. to the PoE ports.
Important. Alcatel-Lucent recommends that PoE-enabled switches with attached IP telephones should
have operational power supply redundancy at all times for 911 emergency requirements. In addition, both
the switch and the power supply should be plugged into an Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS).
In This Chapter
This chapter provides specifications and descriptions of hardware and software used to provide PoE for
attached devices.
The chapter also provides information on configuring PoE settings on the switch through the Command
Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the
syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. Topics and configuration procedures
described in this chapter include:
• Power over Ethernet Specifications on page 4-3
Note. You can also monitor all chassis components and manage many chassis features, including Power
over Ethernet, with WebView, Alcatel-Lucent’s embedded web-based device management application.
WebView is an interactive and easy-to-use GUI that can be launched from the OmniVista or a web
browser. Please refer to WebView’s Online Documentation for more information.
Note. PoE units support different wattage power supplies. If unlike power supplies are mixed or if an
unsupported power supply is used, a console message and a trap are generated.
Although class-detection is disabled by default, the OS6860 still provides power to incoming PDs (if
available in the power budget). However, to strictly enforce class detection as specified in the 802.3at
standard, class detection must be enabled using the lanpower slot class-detection command.
Enabling class detection will reset all PoE ports on the chassis.
If power to a particular port has been administratively disconnected, you can reactivate power to the port
using the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:
-> lanpower port 2/1/1-24 admin-state enable
Note. You cannot use the lanpower port admin-state command to initially activate PoE on a port. This
syntax is intended only to reactivate power to those that have been disconnected via the lanpower slot
service command. To initially activate PoE, you must use the lanpower slot service command as
described above.
Disabling PoE
To disable PoE on a particular port, use the lanpower port admin-state command. For example:
-> lanpower port 1/1/12 admin-state disable
To disable PoE for all PoE-capable ports in a slot, use the lanpower slot service command. For example:
-> lanpower slot 1/1 service stop
reduces the power allowance on port 24 to 3000 milliwatts. This new value is now the maximum amount
of power the port can use to power any attached device (until the value is modified by the user).
Important. Decreasing the slot-wide power could cause lower priority ports to lose power if the new
value is less than the total PoE power currently being consumed.
To increase or decrease the total power available to a slot, use the lanpower slot maxpower command.
Since you are setting the power allowance for an individual slot, you must specify a chassis/slot value in
the command line. For example, the syntax
-> lanpower slot 3/1 maxpower 400
reduces the power allowance of chassis 3, slot 1 to 400 watts. This value is now the maximum amount of
power the slot can use to power all attached devices (until the value is modified by the user).
Note. Changing the maximum power available to a slot or port does not reserve or immediately allocate
that power. These settings are only used for configuring a maximum amount of power that may be used,
any unused power is still available and remains a part of the overall PoE budget.
changes the priority value of port 6 to the highest priority level of critical. Now that the default value has
been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that are mission critical for network opera-
tions.
Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature
is not compatible with IEEE specifications. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer
Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
detection enabled.
Reminder. Priority disconnect applies only when there is inadequate power remaining in the power
budget for an incoming device.
Note. For OS6860 switches using 920W power supplies, priority disconnect supports up to a maximum of
780W of PoE power (per power supply installed). For switches using 600W power supplies, priority
disconnect supports up to a maximum of 450W of PoE power (per power supply installed).
For information on setting the priority disconnect status, refer to the section below. For information on
setting the port priority status (a separate function from priority disconnect), refer to “Setting Port Priority
Levels” on page 4-7.
Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to
power an incoming device.
When a PD is being connected to a port with the same priority level as all other in the slot, the physical
port number is used to determine whether the incoming PD will be granted or denied power. Due to the
support of different PoE standards and PoE hardware on each platform the internal port priority is differ-
ent for each platform. The following tables should be used to determine PoE priority:
Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to
power an incoming device.
When a PD is being connected to a port with a higher priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming
PD will automatically be granted power over the other devices, regardless of its physical port number.
In order to avoid a power budget deficit, another port in the slot is disconnected. In determining which
port to power off, the system software first selects the port with the lowest configured priority level. For
example, if a critical priority device is being added to a slot in which five existing devices are attached to
high priority and one device is attached to a low priority port, the low priority port is automatically
disconnected, regardless of its physical port number.
If all existing devices are attached to with the same lower priority level, the system software disconnects
the port with both the lowest priority level and the highest priority physical port number. For example, if a
critical priority device is being added to a slot in which six existing devices are attached to high priority,
the high priority port with the lowest physical port priority number is automatically disconnected.
Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to
power an incoming device.
When a PD is being connected to a port with a lower priority level than all other in the slot, the incoming
PD will be denied power, regardless of its physical port number. Devices connected to other higher-prior-
ity will continue operating without interruption.
Reminder. Priority disconnect examples are applicable only when there is inadequate power remaining to
power an incoming device.
When priority disconnect is disabled, power will be denied to any incoming PD, regardless of its port
priority status (i.e., low, high, and critical) or physical port number (i.e., 1–24).
• If the amount of power remaining is less than the port's configured maximum PoE power value or the PD's
class maximum power then the switch will not power up the PD.
• This applies even if the newly connected PD actually requires less than the maximum power available for
the port.
In this example the newly connected PD will not be powered on since the port's maximum PoE power value is
greater than the PoE power remaining on the switch.
To allow the PD to be powered, the port's maximum PoE value can be configured to be less than the power
remaining by issuing the following command to set the port's maximum PoE power to 10W:
-> lanpower power 1/1/1 power 10000
The newly connected PD will be powered on since the port's maximum PoE power value is now less than the
PoE power remaining on the switch. The examples assume the new PD has the same or lower priority as the
existing PDs, otherwise priority disconnect will override.
The Guard Band functionality does not apply to PDs that are already powered up. However, priority disconnect
will apply if there's not enough power to power all PDs in the case of the power budget being reduced, such as
the removal of a power supply.
Please refer to the “Understanding Priority Disconnect” on page 4-8 for additional details.
