Color State
Green The Switch is powered-up and operating normally.
Red The Switch has failed its Power On Self Test (POST).
Yellow flashing Some ports have failed POST*
Off The Switch is not receiving power.
* In this event you can still use the Switch using the remaining ports that have passed the
POST.
CAUTION: The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method of connecting or
disconnecting mains power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord.
Connecting a The Switch 4210 26-port PWR has a -48V DC Redundant Power Supply socket.
Redundant Power
Supply WARNING: Only properly trained and qualified personnel should install the
Redundant Power Supply (RPS).
WARNING: Make sure to read these instructions in conjunction with the RPS flyer
and the safety and installation instructions supplied with your RPS.
WARNING: When powering any Switch 4210 from an RPS, make sure that the
unit is earthed (grounded) by either connecting the power cord to the unit or by
connecting the earth terminal on the rear of the unit to a reliable electrical earth
(or by connecting both). Ensure that the earth connection is made before
connecting the DC supply from the RPS.
3Com switches that support -48V DC RPS inputs, and are PoE enabled, can only
be powered by an RPS that complies with the isolation requirements of IEEE-Std
802.3af. Non PoE enabled switches do not have this restriction.
WARNING: Any RPS must be approved as a SELV output in accordance with IEC
60950-1/UL 60950-1/EN 60950-1.
WARNING: The characteristics of the Switch 4210 DC supply input are provided in
Table 11 on page 19.
Specifying the 3Com’s redundant power solution allows you to use any off-the-shelf -48V DC
Redundant Power RPS that meets the requirements defined in Table 11 on page 19.
System
For an approved vendor list, more details about purchasing the 3Com
recommended RPS, and a full set of requirements go to:
http://www.3Com.com/RPS
The 3Com recommended RPS generates -48V DC power using power supply units
(or rectifiers). The outputs of the rectifier(s) are connected together so that you
can increase the total -48V power available by adding rectifiers. For example, three
Table 14 shows an example of the total power available from several 1500W
rectifiers.
A minimum of two rectifiers are required for each shelf to provide N+1 rectifier
redundancy.

You can also connect a battery to battery terminals prior to the DC power
distribution to provide uninterrupted power and to be protected against the loss
of AC mains power.
3Com’s RPS solution uses -48V DC power distribution. The RPS system provides
bulk -48V DC power that is separately distributed to a number of network
switches.
Each RPS consists of a shelf that can house from one to six rectifiers, a Distribution
Module, and a Management Module.
Connecting the Switch When connecting the RPS to the switch, the circuit breaker and 2-core cables need
to the Redundant Power to be matched to the switch’s power rating. Table 15 shows the recommended
System circuit breaker and cable rating for the Switch 4210. The recommended cable
length should not exceed three metres (9.84 feet).
Table 15 Switch 4210 Circuit Breaker and Cable Ratings
WARNING: Ensure that the circuit breaker in the RPS is in the open (off) position
when connecting the cable to the RPS and the cable and connector to the switch.
WARNING: Ensure that the positive terminal on the switch is connected to the
positive (common) terminal of the RPS and that the negative terminal on the
switch is connected to the negative (circuit breaker) terminal of the RPS.
Figure 23 shows how to connect the power supply to the RPS socket in the back
of the switch. Use the cable tie supplied with your switch to support the cable in
the back of the RPS connector as shown in Figure 23.

When the RPS is connected to the switch, you can move the circuit breaker in the
RPS to the closed (on) position and the switch will be powered by the -48V DC
power.
The -48V DC power takes priority over the AC mains and powers the switch if it is
connected.
Connecting the Earthing Use the earthing cable that accompanies your switch if the length is suitable.
Cable Alternatively use the earthing cable specification as defined in “Earthing Lead” on
page 20.
The earthing cable is only required if the switch is powered by the RPS only.
The recommended cable length should not exceed three meters (9.84 feet).
Using Power over The Switch 4210 Power over Ethernet (PoE) units can supply power to any IEEE
Ethernet 802.3af compliant device through any of its front panel ports over a Category 5 or
Category 5e Ethernet cable. The same cable connects the device to the network.
The Switch 4210 units can supply power through the 10/100 ports only.
power required to the device, providing that the total power budget for the switch
is not exceeded.
■ Reduced Cabling — a PoE (802.3af) compliant device that has its power
supplied over its Ethernet cable does not require a separate power supply. If,
for example, you use the switch to connect a 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN
Access Point 8500 to the network, then only a network cable is required to
provide both power and network connectivity.
■ Increased Reliability — a device powered by a PoE switch can take advantage
of the facilities available to the switch. You can fit the switch with a redundant
power supply or uninterruptible power supply to increase its uptime.
The switch supports resistor detection according to IEEE 802.3af and pre-standard
detection methods.
The Switch 4210 supports 3Com 802.3af equipment. For the latest list of
supported devices, refer to the product page on the 3Com web site at
http://www.3com.com/
For additional information on Power over Ethernet, refer to the Power over
Ethernet Configuration chapter in the Configuration Guide available on the 3Com
Web site. Power over Ethernet management is available using the web interface or
the command line interface (CLI).
Connecting the A Console cable is an 8-core cable. One end of the cable is a crimped RJ-45
Console Cable connector for the connection to the Console port of the switch, and the other end
is a DB-9 female connector for the connection to the serial port on the Console
terminal, as shown in Figure 24.
When you want to use the terminal to configure the switch, follow these steps to
connect a terminal device to your switch using console cables:
1 Plug the DB-9 female connector of the Console cable to the serial port of the PC
or terminal where the switch is to be configured.
2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the Console cable to the Console port of the
switch.
CAUTION: Pay attention to the mark on the Console port and be sure to plug the
connector to the right port.
This chapter explains the initial set up of the switch and the different methods of
accessing the management software to manage a switch. It covers the following
topics:
n For information on the lost password procedure, refer to the Configuration Guide
that is supplied with your switch.
Methods of Managing To manage your switch you can use one of the following methods:
a Switch ■ Command line interface management
■ Command line interface management using SSH
■ Web interface management
■ SNMP management
Command Line Interface Each switch has a command line interface (CLI) that allows you to manage the
Management switch from a workstation, either locally using a console port connection (see
Figure 25), or remotely over the network (see Figure 26).
■ User View
This view is shown when you first connect to the switch and shows basic
information about operation and statistics. The prompt for user view is
<4210>.
■ System View
This view enables you to configure the system parameters. To display this view,
from user view enter system-view. The prompt for system view is [4210].
Command Line Interface The Switch 4210 supports Secure Shell version 2.0 (SSHv2.0), allowing secure
Management using SSH access to the switch’s Command Line Interface.
If you use SSH to administer your switch and the network traffic is intercepted, no
passwords or configuration information is visible in the data. To securely
administer the switch using the Command Line Interface you need a third-party
SSH client.
Web Interface Each switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage it using a
Management Web browser remotely over an IP network (see Figure 27).
SNMP Management You can manage a switch using any network management workstation running
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as shown in Figure 28. For a
description of 3Com network management applications refer to “3Com Network
Management” on page 63.
Setting Up Your This section provides an overview of what you need to do to set up your switch so
Switch that you can manage it in its default state. The setup process is summarized in
Figure 29. Detailed steps are provided in the sections that follow. In brief, you
need to:

CAUTION: To protect your switch from unauthorized access, you must change all
three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not intend to actively
manage your switch. For more information on default users and changing default
passwords, see “Default Users and Passwords” on page 50.
IP Configuration In order for the device to be remotely managed, it requires an IP address. You can
use one of the following methods to allocate IP information to your switch.
Configuring IP Manually
When you configure the IP information, the switch remembers the information
that you enter until you change it again. You should use the Manual IP
configuration method if:
■ you do not have a DHCP or BootP server on your network
■ you want to remove the risk of the IP address ever changing
■ your DHCP or BootP server does not allow you to allocate static IP addresses.
(Static IP addresses are necessary to ensure that the switch is always allocated
the same IP information.)
For most installations, 3Com recommends that you assign a known IP address to
your switch. This makes management simpler and more reliable as it is not
dependent on a DHCP or BootP server, and eliminates the risk of the IP address
changing.
If the switch is not allocated with an automatic IP address, the IP configuration will

If you use the automatic IP configuration method, you need to discover the
automatically allocated IP information before you can begin management.
Viewing If you allow the switch to automatically configure its own IP information you need
Automatically to discover and view the IP information before you can begin to manage the
Configured IP switch. You can discover the IP information by:
Information ■ Connecting a workstation to the switch’s console port using a console cable.
You can then manually enter the IP information using the command line
interface (CLI).
■ Using Network Director or 3Com Network Supervisor. These applications
auto-discover the switch and display the automatically allocated IP information
assigned to the switch.
■ Reviewing information in your DHCP Server. The DHCP server in your network
may log IP address assignments. By reviewing this log, you may be able to
determine the device's IP address. Refer to your DHCP Server documentation
for details.
Connecting to the You can view the automatically configured IP information using the command line
Console Port interface (CLI) through a connection to the console port. This example describes a
local connection to the console port, rather than a remote one using a modem.
For further information on connecting using the console port see “Connecting the
Workstation to the Switch”on page 42.
You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information using the
command line interface. To do so:
1 Connect your switch to the network using the Ethernet cable. As soon as a
network connection is made the switch begins the automatic IP configuration
process.
The automatic IP configuration process usually completes within one minute.
2 The CLI login sequence begins as soon as the switch detects a connection to its
console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times until it
starts.
3 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and press
Return at the password prompt. If you have logged on correctly, <4210> is
displayed as shown in Figure 30.
The initial set up of your switch is now complete and and you can now set up a
management method. See “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 36 for
details.
If you do not intend to use the CLI from the console port to manage the switch,
you can logout, disconnect the serial cable, and close the terminal emulator
software.
Using 3Com Network 3Com has two management applications that will discover and help you manage
Director or 3Com your network. 3Com Network Supervisor is freely distributed PC software ideal for
Network Supervisor monitoring your network. It discovers your devices and connections, alerts you to
network or configuration issues, assists you in registering your devices, and
proactively monitors the health of your network.
You can use 3Com Network Supervisor or 3Com Network Director to discover the
automatically allocated IP information. To do so:
Most DHCP and BootP servers allow you to configure static IP addresses so that
you know the switch’s IP address. Refer to the documentation that accompanies
your DHCP or BootP server for more information on this topic.
If your network does not have a DHCP or BootP server, the workstation running
3Com Network Supervisor or 3Com Network Director must be on the same subnet
as the switch because auto-IP addresses are not routable.
Manually Configuring You can manually configure the switch IP information by:
IP Information ■ Connecting a workstation to the switch’s console port using a console cable.
You can then manually enter the IP information using the command line
interface (CLI). This is the only way to assign an IP address to a device that does
not have an IP address already, or that has an unknown IP address. You can also
use this method to change switch’s IP information.
■ Connecting a workstation to one of the port’s on the switch’s front panel using
an Ethernet cable. You can then manually enter the IP information using the
web interface or the command line interface. This is only applicable if the
device already has an IP address and you know that address.
Connecting to the To set up your switch manually you can make a connection to the console port,
Console Port (this example describes a local connection to the console port, rather than one
using a modem). You can do this while the switch is offline (before you connect
the switch to a network) or while the switch is online (connected to a network).
Prerequisites
■ A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as Microsoft
Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate with the switch using
the console port directly.
■ Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.
■ The console cable (RJ-45) supplied with your switch.
You can find pin-out diagrams for the cable in “Pin-outs” on page 57.
■ IP information, including:
■ IP address
■ subnet mask
■ default gateway
■ management VLAN ID, normally set to the default value (1)
2 Open your terminal emulation software and configure the COM port settings to
which you have connected the cable. The settings must be set to match the
default settings for the switch, which are:
■ 19,200 baud (bits per second)
■ 8 data bits
■ no parity
■ 1 stop bit
■ no hardware flow control
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the terminal emulation software for
more information.
3 Power up the switch. The Power on Self Test (POST) runs automatically. The Switch
4210 takes approximately one minute to boot.
To manually set up the switch with IP information using the command line
interface perform the following steps
1 The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the switch detects a
connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times until it

If you experience a problem that is not listed here, it may be included in the
Support section of the switch 4210 Command Reference Guide availabe on
3Com’s web site at www.3com.com.
For Technical Support information, see “Obtaining Support for Your 3Com
Products” on page 59.
Solving Problems If the LEDs on the switch indicate a problem, refer to the list of suggested
Indicated by LEDs solutions below.
The switch unit has failed its Power On Self Test (POST) because of an internal
problem. The fault type will be indicated on the unit LEDs. Contact your supplier
for advice.
A port has failed and has been automatically disabled. You can verify this by
checking that the Port LED is quickly flashing Yellow. If a port fails, the switch
passes its Power On Self Test and continues to operate normally.
A link is connected and yet the Port LED does not light
Check that:
■ The switch and the device at the other end of the link (or cable) are connected
securely.
■ The devices at both ends of the link are powered-up
■ The quality of cable is satisfactory
■ Auto-negotiation settings are the same at both ends.
Auto-negotiation problems will occur with 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T where
auto-negotiation is disabled and incorrect cables are being used (cross-over or
straight).
Auto-negotiation problems will occur with fiber if:
■ The Receiver (RX) and Transceiver (TX) cable connectors are swapped
■ Fibers are broken
■ Auto-negotiation differs at either end (a link appears at the ‘fixed’ end and
not at the auto-negotiation end)
Solving Hardware In the rare event of your switch unit experiencing a hardware failure, refer to the
Problems list of suggested solutions below.
If one fan has failed in the switch, a warning message will be generated in the
following ways:
■ Unit LED
The seven segment display will show a green flashing ‘f’.
■ RMON Trap
If configured, an RMON trap is generated and sent to the management
workstation.
■ Command Line Interface
An indication of a general hardware failure is provided through the Top level
menu displayed when logging on to the CLI. For more detailed information
about the failure select the display logbuffer command.
■ Web interface
An indication of fan failure is provided through the Device Summary table for
the specific unit. In addition all Summary tables turn red to indicate the fan
failure.
Solving If you experience communication problems with the switch, ensure that:
Communication ■ The switch IP address and Management VLAN ID has been configured.
Problems
■ If the switch is separated from your management application by a router,
ensure that the default gateway IP address within the switch is the same as the
IP address of the router.
■ The switch’s IP address was discovered correctly by your network management
application.
IP Addressing
To be managed correctly, each device on your network (for example a switch or
Hub) must have a unique IP address. IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n where n
is a decimal number between 0 and 255. An example IP address is 192.168.100.8.
If your network has a connection to the external IP network, that is, you access the
Internet, you must apply for a registered IP address.
If your IP network is internal to your organization only, that is, you do not access
the Internet, you may use any arbitrary IP address as long as it is not being used by
another device on your network. 3Com suggests you use addresses in the range
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
These suggested IP addresses are part of a group of IP addresses that have been
set aside specially for use ‘in house’ only.
Solving Fabric If you are having problems with correctly forming a fabric, first ensure that
Formation Problems Spanning Tree is enabled. If it is enabled, do the following:
1 Power off all units in the fabric.
2 Check all the cable connections in the fabric.
3 Check the ports have been enabled as fabric ports.
4 Power on all units in the fabric.
