100-8t Quick Start Guide

Configuring the ExtremeXOS Switch Software
To initialize the ReachNXT 100-8t, perform the following steps on the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch:
1
If the ReachNXT 100-8t will be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the uplinked
ExtremeXOS switch, configure PoE on the uplinked switch, using the following commands:
●
enable inline-power
(enabled by default)
●
show inline-power
●
configure inline-power
For more information about configuring PoE, refer to the
ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide
.
2
Enable LLDP for the port to which the ReachNXT 100-8t will be connected. Use the following
command to enable LLDP:
enable lldp ports
[
all
| <port_list>]
3
Connect the ReachNXT 100-8t uplink port (port 9 or 9x) to the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch.
This step initializes the ReachNXT 100-8t. When initialization is complete, and the uplinked
ExtremeXOS switch is detected, the MGMT LED on the ReachNXT 100-8t lights solid green.
4
To verify that the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch detects the ReachNXT 100-8t, enter the following
command on the uplinked switch:
show lldp neighbors detailed
For an LLDP neighbor that is a ReachNXT 100-8t, the command output is similar to the following:
#
show lldp neighbors detailed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
LLDP Port 4:1 detected 1 neighbor
Neighbor: 00:04:96:1F:A8:00/9, age 29 seconds
- Chassis ID type: MAC address (4)
Chassis ID : 00:04:96:1F:A8:00
- Port ID type: ifName (5)
Port ID : "9"
- Time To Live: 120 seconds
- System Name: "Reach 100-8t 800284-00-01 0840G-00560"
- System Description: "Reach 100-8t 1.6.1.6"
NOTE
To function, the ReachNXT 100-8t must be connected to an ExtremeXOS switch. The ReachNXT 100-8t only
operates when it detects an ExtremeXOS switch connected to the uplink port via LLDP. LLDP must be enabled on
the ExtremeXOS switch to which the ReachNXT 100-8t is connected. The ReachNXT 100-8t disables its user ports
if no ExtremeXOS switch is detected, or the uplink port is down. The user ports are re-enabled when the uplink port
is up, and an ExtremeXOS switch is detected.
