About the Passport 8100 Modules
The Passport 8100 modules provide a full complement of switching capabilities in
a Passport 8000 Series chassis. The Passport 8100 modules provide 10/100
megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiating twisted pair Ethernet ports, 100 Mb/s
fiber Ethernet ports, and fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports. A Passport 8000 Series
chassis with installed Passport 8100 modules constitutes a single switching entity
with distributed management and full redundancy.
The Passport 8100 modules include a switch management module and
input/output (I/O) modules. For CPU system redundancy, you can install two
interfaces with different speeds, port counts, and media types.

About the Passport 8100 Modules
The Passport 8190SM module fits into either slot 5 or slot 6 in the Passport
chassis. Image, configuration, and log files are maintained on the flash memory
(onboard and PCMCIA) of this module. The module also provides out-of-band
management by using the Ethernet port on the module.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends using the Ethernet port on the Passport
8190SM module for management rather than a switched port.
You achieve redundancy by putting a Passport 8190SM module into both slots 5
and 6 of the chassis. When running normally, the second module is in standby
mode. Should the primary Passport 8190SM module fail, the secondary module
initializes while the switch continues to pass traffic. When the secondary Passport
8190SM module completes initialization, it resets the switch with a convergence
time similar to the convergence timing for spanning tree.
The Passport 8190SM module can also be in the chassis with the Passport 8690SF
Switch Fabric Module. The Passport 8690SF module provides layer 3
functionality for 8600 Series modules (routing switch modules). For more
information about the Passport 8690SF module, refer to Using the Passport 8600
Modules.
Note: Although you can mix 8100 Series and 8600 Series modules in the same
chassis, Nortel Networks does not recommend this configuration.
Physical features on the front panel of the Passport 8190SM module include a
management port, DCE/DTE switch for the console port, console port, modem
port, reset button, PCMCIA card slot, and status LEDs.
Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet Management port on the Passport 8190SM module is an MDI
10/100BASE-T port that allows out-of-band management using a Web browser,
Device Manager and VLAN Manager, or a Telnet session to access the command
line interface (CLI). You can use this port to connect the switch to a network
management station. The port has its own IP address but does not switch traffic to
other ports in the chassis.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
Note: This port should be used only as a management port. It does not provide
network connectivity.
The DTE/DCE switch changes the pin assignments on the Console port and
allows you to designate the connector as either DTE or DCE. For information
about pin assignments for this port, refer to Appendix A, “Technical
Specifications.”
Serial Ports
The Passport 8190SM module provides two serial ports for attachment of modem
or console devices. The Console port provides terminal access to the Passport
8190SM module using the CLI. The Modem port allows you to connect a standard
modem for out-of-band, dial-up management.
For communications specifications used by the serial ports, refer to Appendix A,
“Technical Specifications.”
Reset Button
The recessed reset button on the module allows you to perform a hard reset or
reboot of the system.
PCMCIA Card Slot
The Passport 8190SM module provides a PCMCIA card slot for use with an
ATA-type Sandisk-compatible flash memory card. The flash memory card
provides a convenient way to store switch configurations and boot images. Using
the memory card, you can quickly transfer configurations and images between
multiple switches or store multiple configurations for a single switch.
Note: You cannot use the Passport 1200 PCMCIA card in Passport 8000
Series equipment.

Passport 8132TX 32-Port I/O Module
The Passport 8132TX module (Figure 1-3) is a single-slot I/O module for the
Passport 8000 Series chassis. It has 32 autosensing 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
switched ports with RJ-45 connectors. The ports have integrated LEDs to indicate
port operation, and the module has three additional LEDs to indicate system
operation. An expansion slot allows you to install an MDA to provide additional
port types. You can add 10/100BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, or Gigabit Ethernet ports
by installing an optional MDA in the Passport 8132TX module. Inserter/extractor
levers and captive retaining screws are at each end of the module.
9155EA
Figure 1-3.
Passport 8132TX Edge Switch Module
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port Connectors
The Passport 8132TX module provides 32 10/100 Mb/s autosensing ports that
support the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiation standard. Each port can operate in full-
or half-duplex mode. When a port is connected to another device that also
supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, the two devices negotiate the best speed and
duplex mode of operation.
The port connectors are 8-pin modular RJ-45 connectors configured as MDI-X
(media-dependent interface-crossover) connections. You can connect these ports
to an MDI port (for example, a workstation or server) using a straight-through
cable. If you are connecting to a device that does not have an MDI port, use a
crossover cable (see “MDI and MDI-X Connections” on page A-12).
Note: For 10 Mb/s connections, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 copper
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Use only Category 5 UTP cable to
connect ports that will operate at 100 Mb/s.
Refer to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” for more information about the
RJ-45 port connectors.

Redundancy Features
A Passport 8000 Series chassis with one or more Passport 8190SM modules and
two or more power supplies provides features that support redundant operation in
case of certain failures. These redundancy features allow you to use this switch in
high-availability environments where system uptime is critical to application
performance.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
Redundant Passport 8190SM Modules
When you install two Passport 8190SM modules in a Passport 8000 Series
chassis, one provides the active CPU functions for the switch; the CPU subsystem
on the other module is in standby mode. If the active CPU fails, the standby CPU
assumes the CPU functions for the switch within 1 second. Then the module
relearns the routing databases for the switch.
If two Passport 8190SM modules are installed in the chassis when you turn on
switch power, the module in slot 5 becomes the active CPU; the module in slot 6
is in standby mode.
Redundant Power Supplies
A Passport 8000 Series chassis supports redundant power supplies. Both AC and
DC power supplies are available, and they may be combined in the same chassis.
The Passport 8010 Chassis with more than six installed modules requires a
minimum of two power supplies for a nonredundant configuration. A redundant
configuration for such a chassis requires three power supplies.
fails, the system loses power and network connectivity.
In a chassis with two installed power supplies, you can add a third power supply
without removing power to the chassis. In a chassis with a redundant power
configuration, you can hot-swap any one power supply while the chassis
continues to operate with no interruption of service (Table 1-1).

Failure of the power supply module
Disconnection or cutting of the AC or DC line cord
When you plug the power cords for each power supply into separate AC circuits
or separate DC power sources, the Passport 8000 Series redundant power supplies
also provide protection against the failure of an individual circuit or power source.
Note: Redundant power supplies are an optional feature, not a requirement.
A single Passport 8000 Series power supply provides adequate operating power
for up to 6 installed modules in the chassis. Two power supplies constitute a
nonredundant power configuration for a Passport 8010 Chassis with 7 to 10
installed modules.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
Combining Passport 8100 and Passport 8600 Modules
Although the Passport system software allows you to install both Passport 8100
Series and Passport 8600 Series modules in the same switch chassis, Nortel
Networks does not recommend such a configuration for the following reasons:
•
Each type of modules functions as a separate switching entity in the chassis,
with no switched connection between the two. To provide connectivity
between the two switch entities, you must make external cable connections.
•
Each CPU module must have its own IP address to allow separate
management of the separate switch entities. When you use Device Manager,
you can manage either the Passport 8100 Series switch or the Passport 8600
Series switch at a given time. The other modules in the chassis are grayed out.
•
The Passport 8190SM module provides management only for Passport 8100
Series edge switch modules. Similarly, the Passport 8690SF module provides
management only for Passport 8600 Series routing switch modules. With two
types of switch modules installed, you cannot install redundant CPUs,
because you must have one each of the Passport 8690SF module and the
Passport 8190SM module.

Chassis Configuration Requirements
Slots in the Passport 8000 Series chassis are numbered from the top down, starting
with 1. In either the Passport 8010 or the Passport 8006 chassis, slots 5 and 6 are
reserved for the Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module. Any of the
Passport 8100 Series I/O modules can be installed in the remaining chassis slots.
Note: You must install an I/O module in slot 1 or slot 2 to provide bus master
functions in the switch.
Safety and Environmental Precautions
Before you perform any installation or replacement procedure on the switch,
please note the following safe-handling guidelines:
•
To prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle the switch
chassis and modules only when you, the chassis, and the chassis modules are
properly grounded. Nortel Networks recommends using a grounding wrist
strap.
•
•
When handling modules, do not touch components on the circuit boards;
always handle modules by their edges. Store unused modules in their
protective packaging.
To maintain proper airflow and cooling, always cover unused module slots
and power supply bays with filler panels.

Securing the Module in the Chassis
Turning On the Chassis Power
Although you can install or replace modules in an operating chassis, in a new
installation you may prefer to install all the modules before turning on the chassis
power.
To turn on the chassis power:
1. Verify that all power cords are connected properly, as described in the
installation instructions for the power supplies.
2. Turn all the power switches to the On position.
Note: In a chassis with two power supplies in a nonredundant power
configuration, you must turn on both power supply units within 2 seconds of
each other. If you wait longer to turn on the second power supply, both power
supplies will shut down. To correct this condition, turn off both power
supplies, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on both power supplies again
within 2 seconds.

Specifying Port Numbers
Each port number on the Passport switch consists of a slot number and a position
number in the format <slot>/<position>. The slot number identifies the chassis
slot containing the I/O module with that port. The position number identifies the
position of the port on the I/O module. Chassis slots are numbered from the top
down, and ports are numbered generally from left to right beginning with 1 for the
far left port. On high-density modules with two rows of ports, such as the Passport
8148TX module, ports in the top row are assigned sequential odd numbers, and
ports in the bottom row are assigned sequential even numbers (Figure 3-1).
9494EA
Figure 3-1.
Port Numbers on High-Density Modules
MDA ports are numbered as a continuation of the ports on the module, and port
numbers on an MDA are in ascending order from left to right. For example, the far
left MDA port in a Passport 8132TX module is port 33. Gigabit MDAs with
redundant PHYs are regarded as a single port.
To specify a list of port numbers, separate individual port numbers with commas.
For example:
3/4,7/22,10/47
To specify a range of ports, type the low port number in the range, a dash, and
then the high port number in the range. For example:
3/4-3/16
Note: Spaces are not allowed in port lists or ranges.

Basic Switch Configuration
Booting the Switch
When you turn on the switch power supplies, the switch begins its automatic boot
process. The default boot order is to try to boot the switch first from the PCMCIA
card, then from the internal flash memory, and finally over the network. If a
terminal is connected to the Console port, you can watch the system messages that
record the boot sequence. You can modify this boot order using the boot monitor
command line interface (CLI).
While the Passport 8190SM module is booting, the I/O modules boot using their
local image files, which check for the presence of a Passport 8190SM module in
the chassis. When the Passport 8190SM module has completed its boot process,
the I/O modules transmit a load request. Messages on the console screen indicate
the request and the completion of the image load. Then the I/O modules reboot
using the newly loaded image. The entire boot sequence for the switch can take up
to one minute.
When the switch starts booting, you can access the boot monitor by pressing any
key during the first 4 seconds of the boot sequence. For details about the boot
monitor and using the command line interface to modify the boot process, refer to

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
Switch Configuration
The Passport 8100 Series modules provide layer 2 switching as soon as you install
them and turn on the switch power. The default configuration includes a single
VLAN with a VLAN ID of 1 that contains all the ports in the switch.
The only configuration you need to do for the Passport 8100 Series switch is to
assign an IP address and a gateway address (default route) for remote
management.
Configuring the Passport switch as a layer 2 switch consists of the following
tasks:
•
•
•
•
Confirm that all ports are in the default VLAN.
Assign an IP address for management.
Specify a default gateway address or default route.
Test connectivity.
To configure the switch as a layer 2 (bridging/switching) device:
1. Confirm that all ports are in the default VLAN using the command:
show vlan info ports
The display shows the VlanId (1) and lists the port members.
2. To assign an IP address for management, use the command:
config bootconfig net mgmt ip <ipaddr/mask>
where:
<ipaddr/mask> is the IP address/subnet mask you are assigning (for
example, 10.10.10.1/24).
Alternatively, you can assign an IP address to the default VLAN (VLAN ID
1) using the command config vlan 1 ip create <addr/mask>.
Note: Nortel Networks does not recommend assigning an IP address to
the default VLAN. Management response is significantly degraded by
managing the switch through the default VLAN.

Basic Switch Configuration
3. Specify a default gateway address/default route.
When configuring IP on most layer 2 switches, you need to specify the IP
address of the device and the IP address of the default gateway.
Use the following Boot Monitor CLI command to specify the default route:
net mgmt route net 0.0.0.0 <ipaddr>
Use the following Run-Time CLI command to specify the default route:
config bootconfig net mgmt route net 0.0.0.0 <ipaddr>
In each of these commands, ipaddrspecifies the IP address of the default
gateway.
4. To save the configuration, enter:
save config
Your Passport 8100 switch now has an IP address and can be used as a layer 2
switch.

Normal Power-Up Sequence
In a normal power-up sequence, the LEDs display as follows:
1. When power is applied to the switch, the green LED on each power supply
and fan tray turns on within 5 seconds.
2. Each module initiates a self-test, during which the port and module LEDs
display various patterns to indicate the progress of the self-test.
3. Upon successful completion of the self-test (within 10 seconds after power is
applied), the Online LED lights.
For information about the other LEDs on the Passport 8132TX, 8148TX,

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
If you have connected a terminal to the Console port on the Passport 8190SM
module and fail to get a login prompt, the port may have an incorrect DCE/DTE
setting. Try moving the DCE/DTE switch from its current setting to the other
position (Figure 4-1).

Failure of Management Software to Recognize I/O Modules
If management software does not recognize the presence of any I/O modules in
the switch, the device view in Device Manager, for example, shows a switch with
only a management module installed. This situation can occur when no I/O
module is installed in slot 1 or slot 2 of the chassis. A Passport 8000 Series chassis
must have an I/O module installed in slot 1 or slot 2 of the chassis to provide bus
master functions for the switch.
LED Indications of Problems
If the switch is not operating properly, LEDs may provide information about the
probable cause. Table 4-1 lists possible problems as indicated by LEDs on the

Port Connection Problems
Port connection problems can usually be traced to a poor cable connection or to an
problems can be remedied by making sure that the cable connections are secure
and that the cables are connected to the correct ports at both ends of the link.
For more information about cabling, see “Cabling,” next in this chapter.
Port connection problems can also be traced to the autonegotiation mode (refer to
“Autonegotiation Modes” on page 4-5) or the port interface.
Cabling
Cabling for 10BASE-T networks can consist of 2-pair Category 3, 4, or 5
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. However, to cover future upgrades to Fast
Ethernet, Nortel Networks strongly recommends that you use all Category 5 cable
in your network.
Ethernet 10BASE-T network installations use cables consisting of two pairs of
twisted pair wires—one pair to send data and one to receive data. These wires
must connect to another 10BASE-T station that has the sending pair attached to its
receiving pair and vice versa. In this way, the two nodes can exchange data. If the
two nodes are wired alike, they both attempt to send data out on the same
RJ-45 pins. In such a case, a straight-through cable would not work. However, a
crossover cable would operate normally.
The Passport 8100 Series modules are designed to have Ethernet NICs connect
directly to their RJ-45 ports using straight-through (MDI) cables. However, if a
Passport 8100 module must connect to a hub or another switch that follows usual
conventions, a crossover cable (MDI-X) is required.
The 100 Mb/s ports are designed to operate using Category 5 UTP cabling only.
Category 5 UTP cable is a 2-pair cable certified to handle up to 100 Mb/s
bandwidth. To minimize crosstalk noise, maintain the twist ratio of the cable up to
the point of termination; untwist at any termination should not exceed 0.5 inch
(1.27 cm).
For best performance with respect to noise immunity and emissions, the unused
pairs in the 2-pair cable should be terminated at their characteristic impedance
(that is, 100 ohms) in the equipment at each end of the cable. All Nortel Networks
100BASE-TX equipment includes such a Common Mode Termination (CMT).

Troubleshooting
Networks 100BASE-FX MDA is not supported on single-mode fiber. SC
connectors are used on 2-port 100BASE-FX MDAs, and MT-RJ connectors are
used on 4-port 100BASE-FX MDAs.
Cables for the GBICs vary depending on the specific GBIC type. For details of the
cable requirements for GBICs, refer to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”
Autonegotiation Modes
Port connection problems can occur when a port (or station) is connected to
another port (or station) that is not operating in a compatible mode (for example,
connecting a full-duplex port on one station to a half-duplex port on another
station).
The Passport 8100 modules negotiate port speeds according to the IEEE 802.3u
autonegotiating standard. The switch adjusts (autonegotiates) its port speed and
duplex mode to match the best service provided by the connected station, up to
100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode.
The following autonegotiation problems can occur:
•
•
If the connected station uses a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible
with the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard, the Passport 8100 module
cannot negotiate a compatible mode for correct operation.
If the autonegotiation feature is not present or is not enabled at the connected
station, the Passport 8100 module may not be able to determine the correct
duplex mode.
In both situations, the Passport 8100 module autosenses the speed of the
connected station and, by default, reverts to half-duplex mode. If the connected
station is operating in full-duplex mode, it cannot communicate with the switch.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
To correct this mode mismatch problem:
1. Use the CLI to disable autonegotiation for the suspect port.
Refer to Reference for the Passport 8000 Command Line Interface Switching
Operations for the appropriate CLI commands.
2. Use the CLI to set the speed and duplex mode of the port to match the
speed/duplex mode of the connected station.
You may have to try several settings before you find the correct speed/duplex
mode of the connected station.
If the problem persists, follow these additional steps:
1. Using the CLI, disable the autonegotiation feature at the connected
station.
2. Manually set the speed/duplex mode of the connected station to the same
speed/duplex mode you have manually set for the Passport 8100 module
port.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends that you manually set the Passport 8100
module port to the desired speed/duplex mode when connecting to any of the
following Nortel Networks products:

Troubleshooting
Installation-Related Issues
Ethernet networks tend to be fairly simple, but they can still have problems that
take time to resolve. The most common problems are associated with the actual
network wiring.
If you have problems with a newly established network (initial setup), the trouble
is most likely related to cabling or addressing. If the network has been operational
for an extended period and is now beginning to have problems, the trouble is
probably related to recent additions or changes.
Addresses
Remember that each Passport 8100 module or Passport 8000 Series switch has a
media access control (MAC) station address and an IP address. The MAC station
addresses are unique because each address contains the Nortel Networks
manufacturer ID and node ID codes.
A valid IP address is not required for normal switching operation or if you are
managing the switch from a console. However, for management over the network
(SNMP or Telnet session), a valid IP address is required.
You can change the IP address of the unit to match your own network addressing
structures. Make sure that the IP address of the Passport 8100 module or Passport
8000 Series switch is unique in your network. You can change the IP address
using the config ip addresscommand (refer to “Assigning an IP Address to the
Management Port” on page 3-5). You will need to set a valid IP address if you
intend to use network management with SNMP or Telnet.

Console Serial Port
The Console serial port is implemented as a DB-9 connector. This port can
operate as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment
(DCE) device. Use the switch to the left of the port to set the port to DTE (left) or
DCE (right). Default settings for this port are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and
one stop bit.
Because the Console port expects to receive Data Set Ready (DSR) and Clear To
Send (CTS) signals before transmitting, these control lines are required in the
cabling. The Console port does not support any inbound flow control; that is, the
port does not toggle control lines to indicate an input buffer full condition.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
MDI and MDI-X Connections
device must connect to the receiver of the other device. The connection must be
achieved through a crossover function, which could be a crossover cable or a port
that implements the crossover function internally.
The Passport 8100 modules use MDI-X ports that allow you to connect directly to
end stations without using crossover cables (Figure A-1). Ports that implement the
crossover function internally are known as MDI-X ports (where “X” refers to the
crossover function).

Installing an MDA
The MDA slot on the Passport 8132TX module accommodates a single MDA.
The connection can be either an RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX MDA or a fiber
(100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) MDA with an SC or MT-RJ connector.
Note: The MDAs are hot-swappable in an operating Passport 8132TX
module; however, the module resets when an MDA is inserted or removed.
To install an MDA:
1. Loosen the retaining screw at each end of the module.
2. Use the inserter/extractor levers to disconnect the module from the
chassis backplane connector.
3. Loosen the thumbscrews and remove the filler panel (or previously
installed MDA) from the MDA slot.
4. Insert the MDA into the slot (Figure C-5), taking care to slide the MDA
onto the guides provided on the module backing.
Caution: Make sure the MDA slides in on the guides provided. Failure to
align the guides could result in bent and broken pins.

Using the Passport 8100 Modules
Installing a GBIC
The Passport 8108GB module has eight bays for installing GBICs. The GBIC
bays are covered by spring-loaded filler panels that rotate out of the way as you
push the GBIC into place. You can install or replace a GBIC in an operating
switch module without powering down the switch.
Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure
your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume
that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.
To install a GBIC:
1. Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
2. Insert the GBIC into the slot on the module (Figure D-2).
GBICs are keyed to prevent improper insertion. If the GBIC resists pressure,
do not force it. Remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.
