Core to edge: 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Overview A widely used method for segmenting the areas in which switches are installed calls for three different classifications: access, distribution, and core. Access switches provide aggregation of end nodes for connection to a distribution or core switch and are usually found in wiring closets. Distribution switches aggregate the links from access switches and possibly server farms. Distribution switches anchor the network in small networks, for example in a building or across a campus. Core switches provide the focal point of the local network, aggregating the distribution switches, providing connectivity for central site data centers, and providing connectivity in many cases to the external network.

The performance, features, and reliability of the HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Series make them suitable for applications throughout a network topologyfrom mission-critical enterprise-class access layer deployments to moderately sized core use models. The HP 3500 and 6200 yl Switch Series provide fixed-port configuration simplicity, while the HP 5400 zl and 8200 zl Switch Series offer the flexibility, in-chassis redundancy, and scalability in modular form factors. The HP 3500 Switch Series is focused at providing Intelligent Edge features for advanced access layer implementations. The HP 6200 yl Switch Series of advanced Layer 3 stackables is designed to be deployed as an aggregator of traffic from the edge to the core of the network. The HP 5400 zl Switch Series provides the same Intelligent Edge features as the HP 3500 Series, with baseline high availability in a modular form factor. The HP 8200 zl Switch Series offers advanced resiliency and redundancy and brings to the portfolio a highly available switch platform for mission-critical access layer through midsized core deployments. Both the HP 5400 zl and 8200 zl Switch Series offer service modules to enable a wide range of networking applications and services.

The foundation for all of these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as QoS and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. A high-capacity switch fabric, based on the most recent ProVision ASIC architecture, is integrated with the switch backplane. The HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Switch Series have been designed as a product family using the ProVision ASICs and software, providing consistency and scalability across the family.

The ProVision ASICs are aimed at accomplishing several objectives:

Provide a great engineering balance between feature capabilities, performance, and price Bring sophisticated control features to the edge of the network Have programmable features that allow future requirements to be accommodated in the ASICs

Key features of the HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Switch Series include:

ProVision ASIC architecture The ProVision application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architecture is used in the HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Series. The ProVision ASIC architecture consists of multiple network chips interconnected by fabric chips providing a non-blocking crossbar fabric implementation. A network chip is implemented on each of the various line interface modules (also known as line cards).

Each network chip represents a node in the system with links connecting to the interconnect fabric. Each zl module provides approximately 28.8 Gbps of data bandwidth on standard zl modules. Version 2 zl modules with 10GbE interfaces have access to 48.6 full-duplex Gbps with HP 8200 zl Switches, and 31.6 full-duplex Gbps with HP 5400 zl Switches. In addition, a management module with a dedicated CPU provides communications control between the network chips and fabric chips.

Figure 1: ProVision ASIC architecture for HP 5406 zl Switch with standard zl modules

Figure 1 illustrates an example of the logical interconnection of the ProVision ASICs for standard zl modules on the 6-slot 5406 zl Switch with standard zl modules. All of the key elements are connected to the active backplane. The active backplane contains the switch fabric and distributes power to all modules. The HP 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Switch Series have similar architectural components. The 8200 zl Switch Series offers a comparable architecture with modular switch fabric and redundant switch management modules.

Inside the ProVision ASIC architecture Each line interface module contains a full ASIC-based Layer 3 routing switch engine as well as Layer 4 filtering and metering. The standard zl modules use fourth-generation switching ASICs. This network switch engine, in the ProVision ASICs, provides all the packet processing such as Layer 2 and Layer 3 lookups; filtering and forwarding decisions; and VLAN trunking and priority queuing determinations. The ProVision ASIC on each line card contains its own CPU. These features of the ProVision ASIC are common for all products in the HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 6200 yl, and 3500 Switch Series.

Classification and lookup When a packet first comes in, the classifier section determines the packet characteristics, its addresses, VLAN affiliation, any priority specification, and so on. The packet is stored in input memory; lookups into the table memory are done to determine routing information; and a ProVision ASIC-specific packet header is created for the packet with this information. This header is then forwarded to the Policy Enforcement Engine.

Policy Enforcement Engine The ProVision ASICs on each line interface module contain the Policy Enforcement Engine. This engine provides fast packet classification to be applied to ACLs, QoS, rate limiting, and some other features through an onboard Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). Some of the variables that can be used include source and destination IP addresses (can follow specific users), TCP/UDP port numbers, and ranges (apply ACLs to an application that uses fixed port numbers or ranges). Over 14 different variables can be used to specify the packets to which ACL and QoS rules, rate limiting counters, and others are to be applied.

Partially implemented in the initial software release, the Policy Enforcement Engine will provide a common front end for the user interface to ACLs, QoS, rate limiting, and some other services. In subsequent software releases for the switches, more features can take advantage of the Policy Enforcement Engine to provide a powerful, flexible method for controlling the network environment. For example, traffic from a specific application can be raised in priority for some users, blocked for some other users, and limited in bandwidth for yet other users. After going to the Policy Enforcement Engine, the header is then forwarded to the programmable section of the network switch engine.

Network switch engine programmability Each ProVision ASIC switch engine contains multiple programmable units, making them truly Network Processor Units (NPUs). One of the functions of the NPU is to analyze the header of each packet as it comes into the switch. The packets addresses can be read with the switch making forwarding decisions based on this analysis. For example, if a packets IEEE 802.1Q tag needs to be changed to remap the packet priority, the ProVision ASIC needs to look at each packet to see if any particular one needs to be changed. This packet-by-packet processing has to occur very quickly to maintain overall wire-speed performancea capability of the ProVision ASICs.

To broaden the flexibility of the ProVision ASICs, a programmable function is included for its packet processing. This NPU function provides the HP networking designers with the opportunity to make some future changes or additions in the packet processing features of the ASIC by downloading new software to it. Thus, new features needing high-performance ASIC processing can be accommodated, extending the useful life of the switch without the need to upgrade or replace the hardware.

The concept of adding the programmable functionality of the NPU within a switching ASIC was originally designed and implemented in the popular HP Switch 4000M family introduced in 1998. The programmable capability of the HP 5300 xl Switch Series was a second-generation design based on the original HP Switch 4000M implementation. The programmable capability was used to give both the HP Switch 4000M and 5300 xl Switch new ASIC-related features well after initial release of those products. The customers investments in the HP Switch 4000M and 5300 xl Series are preserved by this new functionality, which is not possible without the ASIC NPU programmability.

Being based on the HP Switch 4000M and 5300 xl Switch implementations, the NPU capabilities of the ProVision ASICs used in the HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 6200 yl, and 3500 Series are a third-generation design.

Fabric Interface After the packet header leaves the programmable section, the header is forwarded to the Fabric Interface. The Fabric Interface makes final adjustments to the header, based on priority information, multicast grouping, and so on, and then uses this header to modify the actual packet header as necessary.

The Fabric Interface then negotiates with the destination ProVision ASICs for outbound packet buffer space. If congestion is present on the outbound port, weighted random early detection can be applied at this point as a congestion-avoidance mechanism. Finally, the ProVision ASICs Fabric Interface forwards the entire packet through the Fabric-ASIC to an awaiting output buffer on the ProVision ASICs that controls the outbound port for the packet. Packet transfer from the ProVision ASICs to the Fabric-ASIC is accomplished using the full-duplex backplane connection, also managed by the Fabric Interface. The full-duplex backplane connection is 28.8 Gbps with standard zl modules, 46.8 Gbps with 8200 zl switches, and 31.6 Gbps with 5400 zl switches.

ProVision ASIC CPU Each ProVision ASIC contain its own CPU for learning of Layer 2 nodes, packet sampling for the XRMON function, handling local MIB counters, and running other module-related operations. Overall, the local CPU offloads the master CPU by providing a distributed approach to general housekeeping tasks associated with every packet. MIB variables, which need to be updated with each packet, can be done locally. The Layer 2 forwarding table is kept fresh through the use of this CPU. Other per-port protocols, such as Spanning Tree and LACP, are also run on this CPU. The local CPU, being a full-function microprocessor, allows functionality updates through future software releases.

Fabric ASIC The Fabric ASIC provides the crossbar fabric for interconnecting the modules together. The use of a crossbar allows wire-speed connections simultaneously from any module to any other module. As mentioned in the ProVision ASICs section, the connection bandwidth between the Fabric-ASIC and each line interface modules ProVision ASIC is dependent upon the version of zl module and the chassis type.

Management subsystem The management subsystem is responsible for overall switch management. The management subsystem consists of a CPU, flash memory to hold program code, processor memory for code execution, status LEDs and pushbuttons, a console interface, and other system support circuitry to interface and control each line interface module. In the case of the 5400 zl switch series, the management subsystem is on a module that is removable/upgradable. Each 5400 zl series chassis requires one management module to function. For the HP 6200 yl and 3500 Series, the management subsystem is an integrated component. The 8200 zl switch series offers a modular management subsystem and can also be deployed with redundant management modules for enhanced system availability.

Advanced capabilities of the product family The HP 8200 zl, 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Switch Series include a number of advanced capabilities that offer a highly reliable, robust chassis data environment that leads to increased network uptime, keeping overall network costs down.

Right sizing the network With a variety of 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, PoE+, non-PoE, and with a combination of different configuration modules, 5400 zl/8200 zl chassis offer true choice. Based on the actual need for a specific deployment model, a customer can right-size the network. This provides high degree of flexibility to the customer.

ProVision hardware resiliency Many functions required in a switch have been implemented in the single ASIC on the module. What requires a number of chips in other vendor products is achieved in a single ProVision ASIC, which keeps the part count low and increases overall reliability of the module by a significant degree.

Another engineering aspect in the ASIC is hardware error detection with correction in software for the memory used by the switch. This capability includes the memory used for forwarding the network traffic such as the routing and forwarding tables, the Policy Enforcement Engine information, multicast tables, and other data structures. Traffic sent across the backplane uses a protocol to check that there is space available at the destination module so that fabric data is not lost.

HP 8200 zl Switch Series Watch this video to know the capabilities of HP 8200 Switch Series.

The high-availability design of the HP 8200 zl Switch Series, with its dual-management and fabric modules and HP Networkings auto-synchronizing capability, positions this switch perfectly as a distribution/aggregation switch, for medium-scale core applications, or for mission-critical access layer deployments. It shares the same software and hardware capabilities with the HP 5400 zl, 3500, and 6200 yl Switch Series.

The 8200 zl switch series enables the use of core features, such as dynamic routing protocols OSPFv2, OSPFv3, and VRRP, as well as PIM-DM and PIM-SM for multicast routing support. The 8200 zl series follows in the evolution of HP managed chassis switches, featuring choice of PoE+ and non-PoE on every copper port, chassis flexibility, and a scalable architecture, with a high-availability design for critical network operations.

The 8200 zl series requires a single management module that initializes, controls, and monitors the various interface and fabric modules. The 8212 zl switch base system has 12 slots available for population with interface and services modules (the management and fabric modules have their own dedicated slots and are not counted as part of the 12 slots), and it supports up to four internal power supplies. The 8206 zl switch base system has six slots available for population with interface and services modules (the management and fabric modules have their own dedicated slots and are not counted as part of the six slots), and it supports up to two internal power supplies.

The 8200 zl series shares interface, services modules, and power supplies used with the HP 5400 zl Switch Series. The power supplies can be used for purposes of power redundancy or for additional PoE requirements. Power redundancy is useful in networks that provide two separate AC power feeds. A minimum of two power supplies are required for proper operation of all 12 slots in a 8212 zl switch. Up to four power supplies can be installed in an 8212 zl switch, providing N+N power redundancy. In the event of a failure that would result in a configuration with one operable power supply, the 8212 zl switch will continue to operate, but only the top six slots (labeled A through F) will remain powered on, so critical network connections should be prioritized toward the top of the switch. A minimum of one power supply is required for proper operation of all six slots in an 8206 zl switch. Up to two power supplies can be installed in the 8206 zl switch, providing N+N power redundancy.

Note: No power supplies ship with 8200 zl switch series base chassisthey must be ordered separately. There are three types available with different PoE/PoE+ power capacities.

The 8200 zl management modules are hot-swappablethe switch does not have to be powered off to remove either management module. The dual MM design allows either module to manage the system in an active/standby model. By default, MM1 will assume the active role; but in general, whichever MM was the last one to be active, the other MM will assume the standby role. All operations are performed through the active MM (either MM1 or MM2). If the active MM were to fail, the standby MM takes control of the switch and continues operation. However, if only one management module is running and then is removed, all ports lose communication and the system will be powered down.

HP 8200 zl Switch chassis layout The HP 8206 zl Switch is a rack-mountable, 6U-height chassis. The interface modules are inserted in the front slots, labeled A through F. Management and fabric modules are labeled MM1/MM2 and FM1/FM2, respectively.

HP 8200 zl Switch Seriesspecific modules and components The HP 8200 zl Switch Series shares interface modules and power supplies with the HP 5400 zl Switch Series. This next section will cover details of modules and components specific to the 8200 zl series.

HP 8200 zl Management Module (J9092A)

The HP 8200 zl Switch Series requires at least a single management module that oversees (or supervises) the operation of the interface modules and fabric modules. The management module is responsible for network control processing (for example, OSPF updates or ARP requests), while each interface module in conjunction with the fabric modules handles the traffic switching in ASIC hardware.

The use of dual management modules by default synchronizes configuration information and code images automatically for the user. There is no need for a synchronize command. When configuration changes are written to flash memory (write memory) or software updates are performed on the Active Module (a TFTP copy of newer software into flash), they are automatically copied over to the Standby Management Module.

Figure 5: Closeup of the Management Module LEDs in a typical operational state

The LEDs on the 8200 zl Management Module are grouped in two columns:

One set to indicate the management modules state (Active, Standby, or Down) One set to indicate the status of components (CompactFlash and DIMM system memory) and communication status

with the System Support Module (SSM)

The MM Status LED indicates general health of the management module, indicated by a green color after the module has passed power on self-test. MM Reset is a recessed button used to manually reset the management module. The management modules are designed to be hot-swappable and can be removed from the chassis without damage. The synchronization of files (configuration, code images, state, and default condition directives) may indeed be occurring; so to reduce the possibility of corruption between MMs, when manually removing the module, use the MM Shutdown button. MM Shutdown is a recessed button used to gracefully shut down the management module, completing any synchronization of files and state information to the second management module. When the Down LED is lit, the management module can be removed. The LED indicators are covered in more detail in Appendix L: Troubleshooting.

Processor The CPU processor is a Freescale PowerPC 8540 operating at 667 MHz.

Memory Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) is used for the storage of uncompressed executable code and data structures. The SDRAM consists of a 256 MB DDR-1 DIMM in the base module, expandable up to 1 GB. The DDR-1 interface is 64 bits running at 166 MHz bus speed (333 MHz data rate).

Flash The flash consists of a 128 MB CompactFlash, expandable up to 1 GB, and a 4 MB mirror-bit flash. The mirror-bit flash is used for initial boot code. The CompactFlash is used for nonvolatile configuration storage and compressed code storage. The CompactFlash is socketed for future upgrade capability.

The CompactFlash may be programmed in a bulk fashion or one sector at a time. Because all application code is executed out of SDRAM, the CompactFlash may be programmed while the switch is operational; in other words, you can download new code onto the CompactFlash during system operation. The CompactFlash is sized so that a backup copy of an older revision of application code also may be stored. The system also allows you to hold up to three copies of configuration files, associating them to a particular flash image (primary = Config1, secondary = Config2, Active Running session = Config3).

Console port The management module incorporates one RS-232 serial port for local management and configuration. This port uses an RJ-45 connector mounted on the front panel. To connect to the console, an RJ-45toDB9 cable is provided with each switch and is similar to the rollover cable used on Cisco products.

16

Auxiliary port The management module includes a USB auxiliary port used for offline data transfer of files without the need for a network to be set up. System code can be copied to a USB memory stick, and the system can copy this image from USB, just as you would over the network.

HP 8200 zl Fabric Modules (J9093A)

The switching fabric is provided by two fabric modules, each housing a single ProVision Fabric ASIC. Much like the design of the award-winning HP 5412 zl Switch, the Fabric ASICs are load-sharing and resilient to each other. With standard zl modules and with both fabric ASICs operational, all 12 slots of the 8212 zl switch provide wire-speed switching capacity for up to 288GbE ports, or up to 28.8 Gbps per slot when used with 10GbE ports. With v2 zl modules, and with both fabric ASICs operational, 43.6 Gbps is available per slot with 10GbE ports.

In the unlikely case of a failing ASIC on either of the fabric modules, the resilient design of the 8212 zl switch lets it continue to operate with all 12 slots interconnected by the remaining fabric module, albeit at half capacity until a repair cycle can be performed. Replacing a failed module is simply a matter of removing two screws and replacing the module. Subsecond recovery of the switching fabric is performed automatically.

HP 8200 zl System Support Module (J9095A)

The HP 8200 zl Switch Series is a fully repairable core switch. All active components for the system are mounted on removable, quickly replaceable modules. Where the management and fabric components of the system are redundant and resilient to failure conditions, other components that normally would be designed into the backplane are instead designed into the SSM. It contains:

System clock Multiplexer circuitry for management module to interface module communication Fan controller circuitry

On an 5400 zl Switch Series chassis, these components are designed into the chassis backplane.

Rather than duplicate status information and control buttons on each of the dual management modules, the System Support Module creates a common location for:

System Reset and Clear buttons Status LEDs for internal power supplies, external power supply (EPS), and fabric and interface modules LED Mode indicators (which dictate the function of the Mode LED on individual ports) to indicate activity (Act),

full-duplex operation (FDx), speed (Spd), delivery of PoE power (PoE), and a configurable User Mode (Usr)

17

All components contained on the SSM are very low failure rate functions (as evidenced from the very low failure rate of HP 5400 zl Series chassis and predecessor chassis products). But in the event of a failure of any of these components, this module can be replaced without removing any network cables or interface modulesas required by other competitor designswhen there is a need to service some components mounted to the backplane.

Since the SSM is a required module for the operation of the 8212 zl switch chassis, it is not a hot-swappable module. Although no damage will occur to the chassis if the SSM is removed during operation, its removal will indeed power down the system (similar to pulling a sole management module with no standby MM in place). To prevent the accidental removal of the module, the SSM is mounted to the chassis with tamper-resistant screws (TRSs). TRSs also contribute to the low failure rate probability for the SSM. Contributors to module failure include static discharge through user handling or misalignment of pins upon reinsertion.

Figure 6: Tamper-Resistant Torx-20 screws and wrench (included with spare SSM)

As with many critical components, a best practice would be to have a spare SSM onsite, and a TRS wrench is included with every separately purchased J9095A module should you ever need to replace a failed SSM. All other modules can be removed by using a blade screwdriver or T10 Torx driver.

Figure 7: Closeup of SSM in a typical state

Figure 7 shows that PoE, temperature, and fan status are good (solid green) and that there are two power supplies installed. Both fabric modules are in a good state, as are modules installed in Slots A through D and I through K. Modules E through H are empty. The bicolor Mode LEDs on ports would be indicating any network activity on any port that is linked.

The LED indicators are covered in more detail in Appendix L.

18

HP 8212 zl Switch Fan Tray (J9094A)

The fan tray assembly contains the cooling fans for the interior of the 8212 zl switch chassis; the power supplies have their own internal cooling fans. The 8212 zl fan tray consists of six variable-speed fansfour to cool the modules and two to cool the SSM and management modules. The fan speed is based on the sensed ambient temperature of the chassis.

The fan tray is installed/replaced from the rear of the chassis and mounted on the left side of the chassis (from a front-view perspective). The fans draw air through ventilation holes on the left and through the system to ventilation holes on the right (side-to-side airflow).

Figure 8: Airflow direction of HP 8212 zl Switch

The fan tray is hot-swappable in the 8212 zl switch; it can be removed and replaced without removing power from the switch. However, the new fan tray should be installed immediately after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and the automatic switch shutdown within three minutes.

In the event of an individual fan failure, an SNMP trap and event log entry are generated. A system can typically operate for quite a long time with a single fan failure (out of the six), while the other fans step up in speed to compensate for the loss of airflow.

The rear panel of the fan tray replicates the Power/Fault/Locator LEDs found on the front of the 8212 zl switch. This is useful when attempting to locate an 8212 zl switch while walking behind a row of equipment cabinets.

19

Figure 9: Closeup view of rear-mounted Power, Fault, and Locator indicator LEDs on the 8212 zl Switch

The Locator function is enabled through the following CLI command:

HP Networking Switch 8200 zl# chassislocate? blink Blink the chassis locate led (default 30 minutes). off Turn the chassis locate LED off. on Turn the chassis locate led on (default 30 minutes).

HP Networking Switch 8200 zl# chassislocate blink? Number of minutes duration (default 30).

By indicating a number N after either the blink or on parameter, the locator LED will extinguish automatically after N minutes. If no value is specified, the default is 30 minutes.

20

HP 8206 zl Switch Fan Tray (J9476A)

The J9476A fan tray assembly contains the cooling fans for the interior of the 8206 zl switch chassis. The 8206 zl fan tray consists of four fans. The fan speed is based on the sensed ambient temperature of the chassis.

As with the 8212 zl switch, the fan tray is installed/replaced from the rear of the chassis and mounted on the left side of the chassis (from a front-view perspective). The fans draw air through ventilation holes on the left and through the system to ventilation holes on the right (side-to-side airflow).

Figure 10: Airflow direction of HP 8206 zl Switch

The fan tray is hot-swappable in the 8206 zl switch; it can be removed and replaced without removing power from the switch. However, the new fan tray should be installed immediately after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and the automatic switch shutdown within three minutes.

In the event of an individual fan failure, an SNMP trap and event log entry are generated. A system can typically operate for quite a long time with a single fan failure (out of the six), while the other fans step up in speed to compensate for the loss of airflow.

The rear panel of the fan tray replicates the Power/Fault/Locator LEDs found on the front of the 8206 zl switch. This is useful when attempting to locate an 8206 zl switch while walking behind a row of equipment cabinets.

21

Figure 11: Closeup view of rear-mounted Power, Fault, and Locator indicator LEDs on the 8206 zl switch

The Locator function is enabled through the following CLI command:

HP Networking Switch 8200 zl# chassislocate? blink Blink the chassis locate led (default 30 minutes). off Turn the chassis locate LED off. on Turn the chassis locate led on (default 30 minutes).

HP Networking Switch 8200 zl# chassislocate blink? Number of minutes duration (default 30).

By indicating a number N after either the blink or on parameter, the locator LED will extinguish automatically after N minutes. If no value is specified, the default is 30 minutes.

HP 5400 zl Switch Series Watch this video to know more about the HP 5400 Switch Series.

The HP 5400 zl Switch Series of high-end edge switches has been designed to be a feature-oriented high-performance wiring closet switch series. It can also be used as a low-to-medium distribution switch with the embedded Premium features, described later in the document.

The 5400 zl switch series is the latest generation of managed chassis products from HP Networking. The 5400 zl series follows in the evolution of HP Networking managed chassis switches, featuring choice of PoE and non-PoE on every copper port, chassis flexibility in the stackable price range, and a scalable architecture.

The 5406 zl Switch and 5412 zl Switch each require a single management module that initializes, controls, and monitors the various line and services modules and the switch fabric. The 5406 zl Switch has six slots available for population with interface and services modules, and it supports up to two internal power supplies. The 5412 zl Switch has 12 interface/services module slots, and it supports up to four internal power supplies.

The 5400 zl series shares interface, services modules, and power supplies used with the HP 8200 zl Switch Series. The power supplies can be used for purposes of power redundancy or for additional PoE requirements. Power redundancy is useful in networks that provide two separate AC power feeds. A minimum of two power supplies is required for proper operation of all 12 slots in an 5412 zl switch. Up to four power supplies can be installed in an 5412 zl switch, providing N+N power redundancy. In the event of a failure that would result in a configuration with one operable power supply, the 5412 zl switch will continue to operate; but only the top six slots (labeled A through F) will remain powered on, so critical network connections should be prioritized toward the top of the switch.

A minimum of one power supply is required for proper operation of a 5406 zl switch. Up to two power supplies can be installed in the 5406 zl switch, providing N+N power redundancy.

The base configuration for the 5406 zl switch (J8697A) includes a management module, Intelligent Edge software, and six open slots. Line interface modules can be added as needed for connectivity. The base configuration for the 5412 zl switch (J8698A) includes a management module, Intelligent Edge software, and 12 open slots. Line interface modules can be added to the 5412 zl switch as needed for connectivity.

Note: No power supplies are shipped with base chassis productsthey must be ordered separately.

23

The management module monitors the ambient temperature of the system. In the event the temperature exceeds a product-specified threshold, an SNMP trap and event log entry are generated.

HP 5400 zl Series chassis layout The HP 5406 zl Switch chassis is rack mountable with 4U height, and the 5412 zl Switch chassis is rack-mountable with 7U height. The line interface modules are inserted in the front slots, labeled A through F on the 5406 zl switch, and A through L on the 5412 zl switch.

The management module is removable/replaceable and occupies a dedicated slot in the front. The switch does not have to be powered-off to remove the management module.

However, when the management module is removed, all ports lose communication and the system will be powered down.

28

The internal power supplies are inserted in the back slots. These slots are labeled PS1 and PS2 on the 5406 zl switch and PS1 through PS4 on the 5412 zl switch. A power supply is hot-swappable provided at least one other power supply is operational. If the 5412 zl switch has only two power supplies and one of them fails, then only the upper six slots (slots A through F) will receive power.

Fan tray The fan tray assembly contains the cooling fans for the interior of the 5400 zl series chassis, but it excludes the chassis power supplies, which have their own internal cooling fans. The 5406 zl fan tray consists of two variable-speed fans, and the 5412 zl fan tray consists of four variable-speed fans. The fan speed is based on the sensed ambient temperature of the chassis.

The fan tray is mounted on the left side of the chassis (from a front-view perspective), and the fans draw air through ventilation holes to the left and blow the air out through ventilation holes to the right (side-to-side airflow).

The fan tray is hot-swappable in the 5406 zl and 5412 zl switches. It can be removed and replaced without removing power from the switch. However, the new fan tray should be installed immediately after removing the old fan tray to avoid overheating and the automatic switch shutdown within three minutes.

In the event of an individual fan failure, an SNMP trap and event log entry are generated.

HP 5400 zl management module All configurations of the HP 8200 zl/5400 zl Switch Series include a single management module that oversees the operation of the line interface modules and switch fabric. The management module incorporates an RS-232 serial port for local management and configuration. To connect to the console, a standard null modem cable is used.

Figure 17: HP 5400 zl Switch Series management module

29

zl power supplies There are three different power supplies available for the HP 8200 zl/5400 zl Switch Series. These power supplies provide system power (the power needed to run the switch itself) and PoE/PoE+ power (the power sent down the Ethernet cable to power the device at the other end). The difference between these power supplies is the amount of PoE/PoE+ power available from the supply.

HP 8200 zl/5400 zl Switch Series chassis use the same power supplies. There are three internal power supplies available:

875 W (110 V/220 V) 1500 W (220 V) 1500 W PoE+ (110 V/220 V)

As indicated in the following figure, the internal power supply provides both system power as well as PoE. The HP 8200 zl/5400 zl Switch Series, as well as the 3500 series, can power any device that adheres to the IEEE 802.3af standard. The HP 3500-PoE+ yl Switches can power any device that adheres to the IEEE 802.3at standard. The HP 8200 zl/5400 zl Switch Series can power any device that adheres to the IEEE 802.3at standard, when PoE+ zl modules are used in conjunction with PoE+ power supplies. In addition, devices using prestandard Cisco PoE power can also be powered. The switches will automatically detect what type of power and how much is needed when a compatible device is plugged into the port.

Using the HP 875 W Power Supply (J8712A) and/or 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) with the 1500 W PoE+ Power Supply (J9306A) is not supported. It is recommended that you use the same power supply model for all power supplies installed in a given 8200 zl/5400 zl series chassis.

The internal power supplies provide system power for all internal components (+12 V output within +/5% tolerance, regulated). The J8712A and J8713A power supplies provide power for PoE ports (48 V output within +/5% tolerance, regulated), which meets isolation and noise requirements of the IEEE 802.3af specification. The J9306A power supply provides power for PoE/PoE+ ports (54 V output within +/5% tolerance, regulated), which meets isolation and noise requirements of the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at specifications.

The internal supplies have over-current, over-temperature, and over-voltage protection, as well as integrated fans. Hot-swapping is allowed, taking into account that disconnecting the power supplies may interrupt PoE operation.

An external power shelf, the HP zl Power Supply Shelf, is available to house up to two zl power supplies. The power supplies in the power supply shelf can be connected to one or two 8200 zl/5400 zl switches to provide additional PoE/PoE+ power, either to power additional PoE-powered devices, or to provide more power for PoE power redundancy. The supplies in the power shelf are connected to the switch(es) via one or two 2 m EPS cables. The PoE power provided is added to the internal power supply PoE power to figure the total amount of PoE power to the ports in the switch.

30

While the connectors on the EPS connector cable will fit the connectors on the HP 3500 Switch Series, no power will flow from the power shelf. Extra PoE power for the 3500 switch series can be obtained with the HP 620 Redundant/External Power Supply. Extra PoE+ power for the 3500-PoE+ yl switches can be obtained with the HP 630 Redundant/External Power Supply.

Power supply configurations The 5406 zl and 8206 zl switches provide slots for two internal supplies and require at least one internal power supply. An additional internal power supply may be added for 1+1 redundancy system power or to provide additional PoE power.

The 5412 zl and 8212 zl switches provide slots for four internal supplies and require at least two internal power supplies. Two additional internal power supplies may be added for 1+1 system power redundancy or to provide additional PoE power.

Note: 1+1 power supply redundancy implies providing twice the minimum number of supplies required to power the system.

Table 6 shows the HP 5400 zl and 8200 zl Switch Series minimum and maximum internal power supply configurations, as well as internal combined power with external power shelf configurations.

When deciding on which and how many power supplies should be configured for an 5400 zl/8200 zl switch series, the following criteria can be used to guide the decision: How much power will be required for each port, full PoE+ (30 W), full PoE (15.4 W), or phone (8 W) power?

How many network devices will require power (how many PoE/PoE+ ports are needed)?

Is redundant power required (for internal power and/or PoE power)?

Note: The power supplies provide a pool of power for all line interface modules to draw from; that is, PoE power is not limited on a per line interface module.

Tables 7 and 8 show examples of the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports that can be supported by the 8206 zl and 5406 zl switches. Table 7 shows the maximum number of PoE ports at full power (Class 015.4 W), and the next section shows the maximum number of PoE ports at phone power (8 W) for each configuration. Table 8 shows the maximum number of PoE+ ports at full power (Class 430 W), and the next section shows the maximum number of PoE ports at full power (Class 015.4 W) for each configuration. These categories are further subdivided based on whether a second internal power supply is used to provide power redundancy in the event one of the power supplies fails.

Note: Two 875 W internal power supplies cannot supply sufficient PoE power to an 8206 zl and 5406 zl switch fully populated with 24-port line interface modules (144 ports). Two 1500 W power supplies can be used to supply full PoE power (15.4 W) to 116 ports.
