Enterasys Networks A2H123-24 manual Connectivity, Management, Stack Connections

Connectivity

Stack Connections

The switches have front‐panel RJ45 connectors for connections in a stack configuration. The stacking cables used for the connections are standard Category 5 or better UTP cable.

Redundant Power Supply Capability

The SecureStack A2 has power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional external redundant power supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the SecureStack A2 without interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy.

Caution: The A2H123-24 is not PoE-compliant. Do not connect a SecureStack PoE Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the power connector. Otherwise, damage to the device may result.

Precaución: El dispositivs A2H123-24 no cumple con el estándar PoE (power over ethernet). No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS- POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.

Connectivity

The SecureStack A2 connects to Ethernet networks or workstations by means of the fixed front panel RJ45 connectors and two fixed fiber‐optic LC connectors. For more connectivity information, refer to Chapter 2, Network Requirements.

Management

Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote management is possible using Telnet, the Enterasys NetSight® management application, or the WebView application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through the DB9 Console port connector on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.

Switch Configuration Using WebView

Enterasys Networks’ HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.
