Overview

The Avaya Virtual Services Platform (VSP) 4000 4850GTS Series is a network switch designed for enterprise environments, offering robust connectivity and advanced features for managing network traffic. This Quick Install Guide provides essential information for the initial setup and commissioning of the device.

Function Description

The VSP 4000 4850GTS Series switch serves as a core component in a network infrastructure, facilitating high-speed data transfer and network management. It is designed to handle various network demands, from basic connectivity to more complex Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) applications. The switch supports both AC and DC power variants, offering flexibility in deployment scenarios. Its primary function is to connect network devices, manage data flow, and provide a reliable and scalable network backbone. The optional redundant power supply unit (PSU) enhances reliability by providing fault tolerance and load sharing, which is crucial for maintaining continuous network operation. For PoE+ models, the redundant PSU also increases the available power budget, allowing for more powered devices to be connected.

Usage Features

The VSP 4000 4850GTS Series offers several usage features that simplify deployment and operation:

  • Flexible Mounting Options: The switch can be deployed in multiple ways to suit different physical environments. For table or shelf mounting, rubber footpads are provided to ensure stability. Adequate clearance (at least 2 inches on all sides and 5 inches at the back for power cord clearance) is recommended for proper airflow. For rack mounting, the switch occupies one Rack Unit (RU) of vertical space in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack-mounting hardware, including brackets and screws, is included for secure installation.
  • Power Supply Flexibility: The switch ships with one power supply installed, but it supports two field-replaceable power supplies. Users can optionally install a redundant power supply to enhance network uptime and distribute power load. The installation process for the redundant PSU is straightforward, involving the removal of a blanking plate and insertion of the new PSU into a rear slot. Proper seating and securing with thumb screws are emphasized to prevent incorrect installation.
  • Easy Power-Up Procedure: Connecting the AC power cord to the back of the switch and then to an AC power outlet initiates the power-up sequence. The front-panel PWR LED indicates successful power-on. In case of a redundant PSU installation, two power cords are required.
  • SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Support: The switch supports Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) and SFP+ transceivers, allowing for flexible network cabling options and connectivity to various network devices. The installation of transceivers is a simple process of inserting them into the designated slots until they click and lock into position. This modularity enables users to adapt the switch to specific network configurations and future expansion needs.
  • Console Port for Initial Configuration: The VSP 4000 features an RJ-45 console port, outlined with a blue border, for initial configuration and management. This port allows connection to a management terminal (PC or other device) using a console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9 or RJ-45 to RJ-45) and appropriate adaptors. The maximum length for the console port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). Terminal emulation settings (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity, Flow Control) are provided to ensure proper communication.
  • VLAN Configuration: The guide outlines steps for configuring an in-band VLAN and a management IP interface for the VLAN. This allows for network segmentation and remote management of the switch, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
  • Safe Shutdown Procedure: A critical usage feature is the recommended shutdown procedure. Before unplugging the AC power cord, users are instructed to enter specific commands (enable followed by sys shutdown) to ensure all pending data is flushed and data integrity is maintained. Waiting for the "System Halted, OK to turn off power" message confirms a safe shutdown.

Maintenance Features

While the guide primarily focuses on installation, several aspects touch upon maintenance:

  • Field-Replaceable Power Supplies: The ability to install and replace power supplies in the field is a significant maintenance feature. This modular design allows for quick replacement of faulty PSUs without requiring the entire switch to be taken offline, minimizing downtime.
  • ESD Precautions: The guide explicitly states to "Observe ESD precautions when unpacking." This is a crucial maintenance practice to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to sensitive electronic components during handling and installation, thereby extending the lifespan of the device.
  • Documentation for Ongoing Support: The guide references various documents available on www.avaya.com/support, including "Locating the latest software and product Release Notes," "The Regulatory guide," "Documentation Reference," "Installation," "Quick Start Configuration," "Release Notes," and "Administration." These resources are essential for ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, and understanding the full capabilities of the VSP 4000 Series switch. They provide detailed information on software updates, regulatory compliance, advanced installation procedures, and administrative tasks, all of which contribute to the long-term health and performance of the device.
  • USB Device Caution: A specific caution regarding the USB device in the slot highlights a maintenance consideration. Users are warned not to remove the USB device, as it can seriously affect switch operation and boot-up. This emphasizes the importance of understanding specific hardware requirements for proper device function and avoiding actions that could lead to system instability.
  • Grounding Requirements: For rack mounting, the guide specifies the need to ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the power service, ensuring a permanent ground path with resistance not exceeding 1 ohm. This is a critical safety and maintenance measure to protect the equipment from electrical surges and ensure stable operation. Avaya recommends using a filter or surge suppressor for added protection.
