3. Installatie
Follow these steps for proper installation of your BDCOM S2900-24T4X-2AC switch.
3.1 Voorbereiding van de locatie
- Zorg ervoor dat de installatielocatie schoon, droog en goed geventileerd is.
- Houd de omgevingstemperatuur tussen 0°C en 50°C (32°F en 122°F).
- Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
- Ensure adequate space around the switch for proper airflow, especially at the sides where ventilation is located.
3.2 Rekmontage
The switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack-mounted installation (1U height).
- Bevestig de meegeleverde rackmontagebeugels aan de zijkanten van de switch met behulp van de bijgeleverde schroeven.
- Align the switch with the rack posts and secure it using appropriate rack screws.
- Ensure the switch is level and securely fastened in the rack.
3.3 Stroomaansluiting
- Zorg ervoor dat de aan/uit-schakelaar op het achterpaneel in de UIT-stand staat.
- Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power input on the rear panel of the switch.
- Connect the other end of the AC power cord to a grounded power outlet (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
- Flip the power switch to the ON position. The Power (PWR) LED on the front panel should illuminate.
3.4 Netwerkverbindingen
- GE TX Ports: Connect standard RJ45 Ethernet cables from your network devices (servers, workstations, other switches) to the GE TX ports (1-24).
- 10GE/GE SFP+ Ports: Insert compatible SFP+ transceivers into the SFP+ slots (TE1-TE4). Connect fiber optic cables from other network devices or uplinks to these transceivers. Ensure the transceivers and cables match the required speed (1G or 10G).
- Console-poort: For initial configuration and management, connect a console cable (RJ45 to DB9 or USB) from your management workstation to the console port.
4. Initiële configuratie
The BDCOM S2900-24T4X-2AC switch can be configured via its Command Line Interface (CLI) through the console port or via a web-gebaseerde grafische gebruikersinterface (GUI).
4.1 Console Access (CLI)
- Connect your computer to the switch's console port using a console cable.
- Open een terminalemulatieprogramma (bijvoorbeeld PuTTY, Tera Term) op uw computer.
- Configure the serial port settings:
- Baudsnelheid: 9600
- Gegevensbits: 8
- Pariteit: Geen
- Stop bits: 1
- Stroomregeling: Geen
- Power on the switch. The boot-up messages will appear in the terminal window.
- Log in using the default credentials (refer to the official BDCOM documentation for default username and password).
- Begin configuring the switch according to your network requirements. The command structure is similar to Cisco IOS.
4.2 Web-based Management (GUI)
Once the switch has an IP address configured (either manually via CLI or via DHCP), you can access its web interface.
- Ensure your management computer is on the same network segment as the switch.
- Open een web browser en voer het IP-adres van de switch in.
- Log in met de juiste inloggegevens.
- The GUI provides a user-friendly interface for configuring various switch functions. Note that the included PKI certificate may be expired, requiring generation of a new one for secure access.
For detailed command references and advanced configuration, please consult the official BDCOM S2900 series documentation.
5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
The BDCOM S2900-24T4X-2AC switch operates automatically once configured. Here are general operational guidelines:
- Aan/uit: Use the power switch on the rear panel. Always ensure proper shutdown procedures if available through CLI/GUI before powering off.
- LED-indicatoren: Controleer de LED's op het voorpaneel voor de operationele status:
- PWR (vermogen): Continu groen geeft aan dat de schakelaar is ingeschakeld.
- SYS (Systeem): Indicates system status (e.g., solid green for normal operation, blinking for activity or errors). Refer to the full manual for specific patterns.
- Poort-LED's: Indicate link status and activity for each GE and SFP+ port.
- Netwerkconnectiviteit: Ensure all connected devices are properly cabled and configured for network access.
- Layer-3 Lite Functionality: The switch supports basic Layer-3 routing capabilities. Configure VLANs, IP interfaces, and static routes as needed for inter-VLAN routing and network segmentation.
- Linkaggregatie (LACP): For increased bandwidth and redundancy, configure Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on multiple ports to form a single logical link (port channel). Ensure a lower value for the 'agg-period' parameter if configuring LACP.
6. Onderhoud
Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt ervoor dat uw switch lang meegaat en optimaal presteert.
- Schoonmaak: Reinig de buitenkant van de schakelaar regelmatig met een zachte, droge doek. Gebruik geen vloeibare reinigingsmiddelen of spuitbussen. Zorg ervoor dat de ventilatieopeningen vrij zijn van stof en andere obstakels.
- Firmware-updates: Check the BDCOM official website for the latest firmware updates. Applying updates can improve performance, add features, and fix bugs. Follow the provided instructions carefully during firmware upgrades.
- Configuratieback-up: Regularly back up your switch configuration to an external storage device. This allows for quick restoration in case of a device reset or failure.
- Milieumonitoring: Zorg ervoor dat de werkomgeving binnen de gespecificeerde temperatuur- en vochtigheidsbereiken blijft.
7. Probleemoplossing
This section provides solutions to common issues. For more complex problems, contact technical support.
7.1 Stroomproblemen
- Geen stroom:
- Controleer of het netsnoer goed is aangesloten op zowel de schakelaar als het stopcontact.
- Zorg ervoor dat de aan/uit-schakelaar op het achterpaneel in de stand AAN staat.
- Controleer het stopcontact met een ander apparaat om te bevestigen dat het werkt.
7.2 Problemen met netwerkconnectiviteit
- Geen link op een poort:
- Check the Ethernet or fiber cable connection. Ensure it is securely plugged into both the switch port and the connected device.
- Verify the cable is not damaged. Try a different cable.
- Controleer of het aangesloten apparaat is ingeschakeld en correct functioneert.
- Check the port status LEDs on the switch. If the LED is off, there might be no link.
- For SFP+ ports, ensure the transceiver is correctly seated and compatible. The switch can be particular about transceivers.
- Trage netwerkprestaties:
- Check for network congestion.
- Verify duplex and speed settings on the switch port and connected device.
- Ensure cables are appropriate for the speed (e.g., Cat5e/6 for Gigabit Ethernet).
7.3 Management Access Issues
- Cannot Access CLI via Console:
- Verify the console cable connection.
- Check the serial port settings in your terminal emulation program (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control).
- Zorg ervoor dat de juiste COM-poort is geselecteerd.
- Cannot Access GUI via Web Browser:
- Verify the switch has an IP address and your computer can reach it (ping the IP address).
- Zorg ervoor dat uw web browser is not blocking the connection due to certificate warnings (the default certificate may be expired).
- Wis de browsercache of probeer een andere browser.
