1.1  
System Requirements  
The following sections briefly describe the minimum system requirements and the  
configurable features. Links are provided to other chapters and appendices  
containing more detailed information.  
1.1.1  
Connectivity  
The switch can work in any AdvancedTCA shelf. It is mainly designed to be used as  
hub blade, however, it can also operate a node or a full-mesh blade.  
1.1.1.1  
Hub Connectivity  
In AdvancedTCA. the hub board defines the system, so it is important that it be put  
in the correct slot. In all shelves there are two slots specifically designated for hub  
boards, logical slots 1 and 2. If the slots are not labeled, these slots are easily  
identifiable because they have a larger number of Zone 2 connectors than the other  
slots (the only slots with all five Zone 2 connectors).  
Base is always routed in a dual star. This means every node slot has a Base channel  
routed to each of the hub slots. Independent of how the Fabric is used, a hub board  
is always needed for Base. If full mesh node boards are used in a full mesh shelf, a  
hub board is not needed for Fabric.  
1.1.2  
Electrical and Environmental  
The switch has the following power requirements:

The 48VDC has a tolerance of 0VDC to 75VDC without damage. The switch will  
operate when 48VDC is 36VDC to 72VDC, inclusive.  
Caution – Any input voltage outside the range of 0VDC to 75VDC can damage the  
switch.  
The switch requires air flow. A minimum of 100 LFM should be kept on the board at  
all times. If an RTM is being used, active RTM cooling is not required.  
Caution – None of the integrated chips junction temperature should exceed 125˚C.  
The switch requires air flow to meet this requirement. Testing should be done in  
your shelf to find the quantity of air flow needed. 100 LFM is the recommended  
minimum quantity of air flow.  
The switch might contain materials that require regulation upon disposal. Please  
dispose of this product in accordance with local rules and regulations. For disposal  
or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic  
Industries Alliance at http://www.eiae.org/.

1.2  
Unpacking  
Check the shipping carton for damage. If the shipping carton or contents are  
damaged, notify the carrier and Sun. Retain the shipping carton and packing  
material for inspection by the carrier. Obtain authorization before returning any  
product to Sun. Refer to the Netra CP3240 Switch Getting Started Guide (820-3254) for  
return instructions.  
Caution – This board must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.  
Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a static-free workstation. Use the  
anti-static bag shipped with the product to handle the board. Wear a wrist strap  
grounded through one of the system's ESD ground jacks when installing or servicing  
system components.  
1.3  
Handling Switches  
Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage to the  
assembly, always connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the system.  
Caution – Do not flex the switches; the surface-mounted components can break if  
the switch is bent.  
To minimize the amount of switch flexing, observe the following precautions:  
■
When removing a switch from an electrostatic discharge bag, keep it vertical until  
you place the switch on the electrostatic discharge mat.  
■
Do not place a switch on a hard surface. Use a cushioned antistatic mat. The  
switch connectors and components have very thin pins that bend easily.  
■
■
Be careful of small parts located on the component side of a switch.  
Do not use an oscilloscope probe on the components. The soldered pins are easily  
damaged or shorted by the probe point.  
■
Transport a switch in an antistatic bag.

Features  
Part of Sun’s ATCA platform, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch complies with PICMG  
3.0 R2.0 ECN002 and PCIMG 3.1 Option 1 and Option 9. The Sun Netra CP3240  
switch implements two separate switched networks on a single PCB. By separating  
the Base and Fabric networks, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch provides a separate  
control plane and data plane. It provides 1Gigabyte Ethernet switching on the 3.0  
Base Fabric, and the 3.1 Expansion Fabric provides 1Gigabyte/10Gigabyte Ethernet  
switching. Both of these networks are fully managed with the robust FASTPATH  
management suite. Both networks support Layer 2 switching as well as Layer 3  
routing.  
The Sun Netra CP3240 switch can host three AdvancedMC mid-size modules. A  
variety of different AMC types can be used, including AMC.1, AMC.2, and AMC.3.  
Netra CP3240 switch supports connectivity to three AMCs and to RTMs with  
multiple 10Gigabyte-Ethernet links.  
The XCP3240H-RTM-CU-Z (copper) and XCP3240H-RTM-OP-Z (fiber optic) are  
Sun’s RTMs that are paired with the Sun Netra CP3240 switch.

The Sun Netra CP3240 switch uses Broadcom StrataXGS 3 BCM56800 for Fabric  
Ethernet switching/routing. This chip is an Ethernet switch with 20 10Gigabyte  
ports. It provides non-blocking, wire-speed switching and routing on all ports under  
100% load. The BCM56800 features many advanced features presented to the user  
via the FASTPATH software. See Section 4.10, “FASTPATH” on page 4-18 for more  
information.  
Broadcom BCM5464R and BCM5461S  
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet PHY  
Quad and single ports respectively, the Broadcom PHYs provide the physical  
interfacing for 10/100/1000Base-T. They are low-power devices and provide features  
such as jumbo frames support, auto-MDIX, and cable testing.

Freescale PowerQUICC II MPC8247  
Communications Processor  
The Freescale MPC8247 is a microprocessor designed for maximum flexibility. It  
features a dual core architecture with a PPC G2 LE core and a RISC core controlling  
the peripherals. Running at 400MHz with only 1 watt of power, the MPC8247  
provides high performance with incredibly low power consumption. Paired with the  
256MB PC100 SDRAM and 64MB flash, the CPU subsystem of the Sun Netra CP3240  
switch is more than enough to handle the switching application and future  
upgrades.  
Pigeon Point BMR-H8S-AMCc AdvancedTCA  
IPMI Subsystem  
The Sun Netra CP3240 switch uses the near-industry standard Pigeon Point Systems  
BMR-H8S-AMCc for dedicated IPMI management. It controls all interaction between  
the Sun Netra CP3240 switch and the shelf management controller. It fully supports  
the PICMG 3.0 R2.0 ECN002 and the AMC.0 R2.0 specifications. The  
BMC-H8S-AMCc provides all required management for the AMC modules, in  
addition to the voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, e-Keying, and other  
services it provides for the Sun Netra CP3240 switch. Pigeon Point Systems is the  
leading provider of IPMI firmware for AdvancedTCA, and the firmware has been  
thoroughly tested to be fully compliant with the specification.

Base Fabric Switch Subsystem  
FIGURE 2-4 Base Fabric Switch Subsystem  
PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA defines 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet over the Base Fabric,  
called “Base” in this guide. The Base is designed to be the control plane for the shelf.  
Scaling from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps, the Base interface can accommodate a wide  
variety of node boards. The Base interface on the Sun Netra CP3240 switch is based  
around three main components: the Broadcom BCM56503, the Broadcom BCM5464x,  
and the Freescale MPC8247.

2.4.4  
Expansion Fabric Switch Subsystem  
FIGURE 2-5 Expansion Fabric Switch Subsystem  
PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA provides an agnostic mesh on the backplane called the  
Expansion Fabric. This interface is the data plane in the shelf. The Expansion Fabric  
is called “Fabric” in this guide. This fabric can be several different technologies  
defined by AdvancedTCA sub-specifications. The Sun Netra CP3240 switch is  
designed to comply with PICMG 3.1 Ethernet/Fibre Channel for AdvancedTCA Systems,  
options 1 and option 9. That means the Sun Netra CP3240 switch provides a single  
1/10Gigabyte port to each node board.  
The Fabric uses 10GBase-BX4 Ethernet to provide connectivity between boards  
though the backplane. The Fabric can scale down to 1Gigabyte and work with  
1000Base-BX boards. The Fabric subsystem is based around two main components:  
the Broadcom BCM56800 and the Freescale MPC8247.

2.4.5  
AdvancedMC Sites  
PICMG AdvancedMC AMC.0 defines hot-swappable daughter cards to be used in  
PICMG architectures. The Sun Netra CP3240 switch supports three AMC sites so  
that the functionality of the Sun Netra CP3240 switch can be expanded. AMC.2  
(Ethernet) AMCs are supported with direct connections to the Base and Fabric  
subsystems. Other types of AMCs, such as AMC.1 (PCI-Express) or AMC.3  
(SAS/SATA), can be used as well. Nearly any type of AMC can be supported,  
because the Sun Netra CP3240 switch connects the AMCs sites directly together on  
certain ports.

CHAPTER  
4
Configuring Switch Software  
This chapter describes how to configure the switch software.  
The switch incorporates four main software components:  
■
IPMI firmware, which runs on a separate microcontroller.  
■
uBoot loads the boot for the system. It can be compared to a BIOS on a node  
board.  
■
■
Operating system (OS), which uses Monta Vista 3.1 Pro, based on the 2.4.20 Linux  
kernel.  
LVL7 Systems’ FASTPATH software, which provides all of the management and  
control features of the switch.  
The IPMI firmware, uBoot, and OS are covered in this chapter. FASTPATH is  
described, however, for detailed information and command syntax, refer to the Netra  
CP3240 Switch Command Reference Manual (820-3253).

uBoot  
uBoot is the boot loader. Much like a BIOS, it brings the system to a usable state for  
the operating system (OS) to boot. It also performs a POST of the CPU subsystem. It  
can be used as a recovery console if the firmware image becomes corrupt or a  
firmware update fails. Several important environment variables are stored in uBoot,  
only some of which should ever be changed, namely noekeyand baudrate.  
4.2.1  
uBoot Console  
To get to a uBoot console, you must prevent the switch from booting into the OS.  
Shown here is an example of the start of a boot sequence.  
CPU: 400 MHz  
DRAM: 256 MB  
FLASH: 64 MB, Base, Primary Flash

There is only a one-second delay to press a key.  
When the uBoot prompt is displayed, you can then enter any of the following  
commands.  
TABLE 4-5  
Command

Writes the variables to flash. You must save the changes if you want them  
to persist through a reset.  
4.2.2  
E-Keying Control in uBoot  
See the Section 4.3.1, “e-Keying” on page 4-7 for a description of e-Keying, and how  
it is supported.  
To disable e-Keying, use the noekeyenvironment variable.  
List the ports to be disabled separated by only commas.  
set noekey 1,2,3,4  
Or use the word allto disable e-Keying completely.  
set noekey all  
To re-enable e-Keying clear the variable.  
set noekey  
After changing the environment variables you must always save if you would like  
the change to persist though a reset.

4.2.3  
Serial-Baud Rate Control in uBoot  
You can change the serial baud rate from within FASTPATH, the boot menu, or in  
uBoot. Changing it in uBoot is the only method that allows it to persist through a  
reset. Only standard baud rates are accepted.  
Note – Change the baud rate on the Fabric first, then on the Base. If the baud rate  
on the Fabric and Base do not match, the Fabric will not be accessible. If the Fabric is  
not accessible, change the baud rate on the Base until the Fabric is accessible.  
To change the baud rate in uBoot, enter the command as in the following example.  
set baudrate <115200>  
After changing the rate, you must save if you would like the change to persist  
though a reset.  
4.3  
Linux  
The switch uses Linux as an operating system. The Monta Vista 3.1 Pro 2.4.20 kernel  
is used. There are no settings to change, and the OS is completely transparent to the  
user.  
4.3.1  
e-Keying  
e-Keying is implemented as a Linux driver. The CPUs for both Base and Fabric have  
a direct connection to the IPMI controller, which is used to communicate e-Keying  
messages. The CPU is interrupted when an e-Keying event occurs. The driver  
handles these interrupts and disables ports based on the information it receives. This  
disables the port at the PHY level. e-Keying can be ignored by creating a uBoot  
environment variable as described in the Section 4.2.2, “E-Keying Control in uBoot”  
on page 4-6.  
Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Software

4-7  
     
4.3.2  
4.3.3  
e-Keying Bypass  
e-Keying can be ignored by creating a uBoot environment variable as described in  
Section 4.2.2, “E-Keying Control in uBoot” on page 4-6. When e-Keying is bypassed,  
ports are no longer enabled or disabled based on the e-Keying state. The e-Keying  
information is still shared with the shelf manager as usual, but now ports are  
enabled regardless if the shelf manager enables them or not.  
ATCA LEDs  
The ATCA LEDs can be turned on from several sources, one of which is a Linux  
driver. Both the Base and Fabric drive these LEDs. The red OOS LED is driven until  
FASTPATH has loaded, at which point the green Healthy LED is driven. The OOS  
LED signals are “OR” so that if one or more are active, the LED is on. The Healthy  
LED signals are “AND.” The Base and Fabric must be booted into FASTPATH as  
well as several hardware conditions must be met for this LED to be on.  
4.4  
Serial Select  
A single-serial port is provided to control both CPUs. The ` key, usually in the  
upper left key on the keyboard and the same key as ~, can be used to switch  
between controlling the Base (3.0) and the Fabric (3.1). The ` key works in uBoot,  
Linux, the BCM debug shell, and FASTPATH.  
When you switch between Base and Fabric [Base] or [Fabric] is printed to the  
console so that you know which one you are currently controlling.  
(switch Base) #  
(and then ENTER is pressed here)  
(switch Base) #[Fabric]

4.5  
Serial Location  
The switch supports running its serial port to both the front panel and the RTM. It  
does not support both the front panel and RTM at the same time. You must  
configure the port to go to the location needed. By default, the port is routed to the  
front panel.  
4.5.1  
Changing Serial Location from UBoot  
In this example, the serial port direction is to the RTM.  
CODE EXAMPLE 4-1

The switch takes approximately 50 seconds to boot to a console and be fully  
functional.  
4.6.1  
Boot Utility Menu  
There is a utility menu that can be used before FASTPATH boots. During boot there  
is a two-option menu displayed for five seconds. This menu allows access to the  
utility menu if you press number 2 and Enter.

4.6.1.1  
Load Code Update Package using TFTP/FTP  
FASTPATH can be updated from within FASTPATH itself, but it can also be updated  
from this menu.  
■
■
■
The update image must be on a TFTP server or FTP server.  
The server must be on the same network as the out-of-band management port.  
You need to have the IP of the server, the desired IP of the board being updated,  
the gateway (if needed), and the file name.  
Note – DHCP can be used to obtain an IP for the switch during this update. Enter  
dhcpas the IP address. This entry begins the update and provides status  
information as it is updating.  
4.6.1.2  
4.6.1.3  
Erase Current Configuration  
This is the same as clearconfigfrom within FASTPATH. This option can be used  
if the switch is in an unknown state, and restoring the default settings is desired.  
Erase Permanent Storage  
This command completely erases FASTPATH, any log files, and any configurations.  
It does not erase uBoot or Linux. Use of this command is never recommended.  
Updates can safely be installed without running this option, and configurations and  
log files are preserved.  
4.6.1.4  
Select Boot Method  
The switch supports three boot methods:  
■
■
■
from the local image on the flash  
from an image over the network  
from an image over the serial port  
The default option is booting from the flash. See Section 4.9, “Network Boot” on  
page 4-14 for more information.

4.6.1.5  
Start Diagnostic Application  
This option boots the Broadcom diag shell, currently SDK version 5.4.1. This  
environment is provided as is, with no support. Several commands provided in this  
shell are not supported and will not work. This shell is provided mainly for debug,  
testing, and diagnostics purposes. This shell has many low-level tests, and low-level  
register access. It can be used to check the integrity of particular boards. Help is  
provided in the shell with ??and commands followed by a single question mark.  
Some commands of interest are TestListand TestRun.  
4.7  
Primary and Backup Flash  
The switch features hardware flash redundancy. If the switch fails to boot from the  
primary flash for any reason, the onboard IPMC will reset the board and attempt to  
boot out of the backup flash. No user interaction is required.  
The switch backup flash comes preprogrammed with default settings. You can  
change what is loaded on the backup flash by using the CopyPrimaryFlashto  
BackupFlashcommand from the utility menu.  
4.8  
Dual Firmware Images  
The switch supports dual firmware images of the Base and Fabric software. While  
this feature does not provide high availability (the hardware redundant flash  
provides that), it does provide a way to store two copies of the firmware on the  
switch. This allows you to switch between firmware, as needed.  
4.8.1  
Booting the Non-Active Image  
Which image is active can be changed several ways.  
From the boot menu, the ActivateBackupImageoption can be used.  
From within FASTPATH the bootsystemcommand in combination with the  
updatebootcodecommands can be used.

4.8.2  
4.8.3  
Updating the Non-Active Image  
All of the update methods supported by the active image (image1 by default) are  
also supported for the non-active image (image2).  
Fabric 1G/10G Auto-negotiation  
The Fabric networks support both 1Gigabyte and 10Gigabyte operation. No  
configuration is required to put the switch into either a 1Gigabyte or 10Gigabyte  
mode. The switch will dynamically connect at the appropriate speed.  
4.9  
Network Boot  
The switch supports network booting. This feature can be used to test updates to  
FASTPATH without installing them. Updates containing changes to uBoot, Linux, or  
the IPMC must be installed to the flash before they can be used.  
1. Setup a TFTP server on the update network.  
Tftpd is the standard TFTP server for Linux and Solaris.  
For Windows, Solarwinds (http://www.solarwinds.net) offers a free TFTP server.  
2. Place the update image on the TFTP server.  
It will have a .tgz file extension.  
3. Connect to the serial management port of the network to be updated, and  
connect the MGMT port to the update network.  
4. Reboot the switch using the reboot button, hotswap handle, or reload  
command.  
5. As the switch boots, press number 2to enter the Utility Menu.  
6. Press number 8to change the boot method.  
7. Press number 3to select network as the boot method.  
8. Enter the information for your TFTP server.  
For host IP, you can enter dhcpif you would like to use DHCP to obtain a valid  
IP address.

4.10  
FASTPATH  
The switch features LVL7 Systems’ FASTPATH 2340 software, version 4.4.  
FASTPATH is a software package providing the robust management needed to  
control a modern switch-router. This section serves as a quick primer on using  
FASTPATH on the switch. FASTPATH is not covered in detail in this guide, but is  
covered in the Netra CP3240 Switch Command Reference Manual (820-3253).  
4.10.1  
Management Options  
The switch can be controlled by a CLI, a web interface, and through SNMP. All  
management interfaces, other than serial, can be enabled or disabled, provided over  
both the out-of-band management port and/or any in-band ports, and be limited to  
certain in-band ports.  
4.10.1.1  
CLI  
The switch provides an industry standard CLI. The CLI is provided over the serial  
port, telnet and SSH. This section only describes some basic commands. For detailed  
command syntax, refer to the Netra CP3240 Switch Command Reference Manual  
(820-3253).  
The CLI is mode based. It works similarly to a console in Linux or Windows.  
Commands are grouped under modes, and those commands only work when the  
user is in the current mode. There are very few global commands.  
To return to one mode higher than the current mode, use exit.  
For example to shutdown port 17, switch to enable mode, configure mode, interface  
17 mode, then issue the shutdowncommand. Use exitto return to configure  
mode, and exitagain to return to enable mode.  
Many commands have a noform. The noform is used to disable the command. With  
the previous example, to re-enable port 17, once you are in the interface 17 mode,  
you would issue the noshutdowncommand.

SNMP Defaults  
SNMP is enabled by default. The default read-only community string is public.  
The default read-write community string is private.  
4.10.4  
Secure Remote Access  
4.10.4.1  
SSH and SSL/TLS Keys  
The switch supports SSH for a secure CLI console as well as SSL/TLS for secure  
HTTP. By default, SSH and SSL are disabled. The switch cannot generate its own  
keys. Keys must be generated on an external PC, and uploaded to the switch via  
TFTP. Once the keys are on the switch, SSH and HTTPS must be enabled to be used.  
4.10.4.2  
Enabling SSH and SSL  
First, the certifications and keys must be uploaded to the switch using a command  
such as the following:  
copy tftp://<ip>/<file> <location>  
Upload the following files to the switch:.  
File  
Location  
rsa1.key  
rsa2.key  
dsa.key  
nvram:sshkey-rsa1  
nvram:sshkey-rsa2  
nvram:sshkey-dsa  
nvram:sslpem-dhweak  
nvram:sslpem-dhstrong  
nvram:sslpem-server  
dh512.pem  
dh1024.pem  
server.pem  
rootcert.pem nvram:sslpem-root  
Enable secure access (SSH/Telnet) and disable non-secure access (SSL/HTTP).

4.10.5  
Default Settings  
The switch comes configured with a default configuration. This configuration boots  
the board to Layer 2 switching. This configuration is very basic and should be  
updated for your environment. The default settings are as follows:  
■
■
■
■
■
every port is in VLAN 1  
every port is configured in switching mode  
management interfaces are enabled  
spanning-tree is enabled on every port  
everything else is disabled  
The settings of the switch can be checked with the showrunning-config  
command. This command shows how the current configuration is different than the  
default configuration. This command can be very useful because the output is in  
script format. This output can be backed up or copied to another switch.  
4.10.6  
Port Ordering  
The ports are ordered the same way as the ATCA channels. The ATCA specification  
allows for backplanes to be routed differently. This means that logical slots and  
physical slots often do not match.  
The switch supports an abstraction layer that allows the port order to be changed.  
This allows vendors to match logical slots and physical slots independent of routing.  
Contact Sun if you would like a non-standard port order. Sun’s port ordering is  
shown in the following table for shelves with middle hub slots, that is, slots 7 and 8.

Note – If ports are ordered the same as the ATCA channels, Base and Fabric are  
always one number off. So, if a board is in slot 6, it is connected to Base channel 3  
and Fabric channel 2.

Firmware Updates  
All of the firmware listed in this section is field upgradeable. There is a single  
update image that supports the Base firmware, Fabric firmware, and IPMC  
firmware. This update image must be installed twice though, once on the Base and  
once on the Fabric. The IPMC update happens during a Base update. Each firmware  
can be updated independently without affecting other firmware, for example,  
FASTPATH can be updated without touching uBoot and Linux.

4.12  
Fiber Optic RTM Configuration  
For the fiber optic RTM (XCP3240H-RTM-OP-Z) to work correctly, switch firmware  
1.2.1.0 or newer is required. The following sections describe support and  
requirements for configuring the RTM.  
4.12.1  
4.12.2  
Module Support  
The Fiber Optic RTM was designed to work with any standard compliant SFP or  
SFP+ module.  
Backplane Ports Versus RTM Optical Ports  
The Sun Netra CP3240 switch’s backplane ports are capable of auto-negotiating  
between 1G and 10G speeds without any user input. However, the RTM optical  
ports must be explicitly configured without auto-negotiation for 1G operation. This  
requirement is due to the underlying technology used in 10G interfaces.  
4.12.3  
10G Configuration for RTM Optical Port  
For 10G operation, an SFP+ module must be used and the port must be set to no  
auto-negotiate. For all 10G RTM ports, noauto-negotiateis the default  
setting.  
CODE EXAMPLE 4-6  
Enabling 10G Operation on RTM Optical Ports  
configure  
interface <0/xx>  
no auto-negotiate  
exit  
exit  
where <0/xx>is the port number of the RTM on Fabric. Valid entries are 0/17, 0/18,  
0/19, and 0/20.  
For each port on the RTM, enter the command.  
Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Software 4-25  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
4.12.4  
1G Configuration for RTM Optical Port  
For 1G operation, an SFP module must be used and the port (17-20) must be set to  
auto-negotiate. When you enable auto-negotiation, 1G operation is automatically  
enabled and 10G operation is automatically disabled.  
For all 10G RTM optical ports noauto-negotiateis the default setting. Therefore,  
1G operation must be explicitly enabled. Note that Base 10G port, 0/25 and 0/27 do  
not support 1G operation. The Fabric 10G RTM optical ports support both 1G and  
10G operation.  
CODE EXAMPLE 4-7  
Enabling 1G Operation on RTM Optical Ports  
configure  
interface <port numbers/range in 0/20 format>  
auto-negotiate  
exit  
exit  
where <0/xx>is the port number of the RTM on Fabric. Valid entries are 0/17, 0/18,  
0/19, and 0/20.  
For each port on the RTM, enter the command.

Serial Cable  
The switch uses RJ-45 connectors for its serial ports. To connect to a PC’s DB9  
connector, a special cable or adapter is needed. These cables and adapters are  
available through various sources or can be made easily. The cable must cross over  
the TXD and RXD signals, as both the PC and switch are DTE. The minimum cable  
pinout is listed in the following table.
