Expansion Components
Installation and Configuration
This chapter covers the following topics:
The standard configuration for the Catalyst Matrix includes a chassis and one Catalyst Matrix module (see Figure 5-1). A Catalyst Matrix module includes a fan, power supply, front AC power receptacle, and complete logic circuitry. The Catalyst Matrix chassis needs only one module to operate, but has another slot available for a second, redundant module. If two modules are used, the unit runs with the one on-line (primary) module installed in the left hand side and an off-line (secondary) module installed in the right-hand side. If the primary module should fail, Catalyst Matrix operation is switched to the secondary module through automatic logic control. The modules can be also be switched manually using the ACTIVATE push button on the front panel. For a detailed explanation of the Catalyst Matrix modules, see the following section, Catalyst Matrix Module Description. Installation instructions for the Module follow the description section.
The following figure shows the Catalyst 3000 with a Catalyst Matrix module in the left (primary) position and a blank cover plate over the right (secondary) position.
Figure 5-1 : View of a Catalyst Matrix Chassis with a Catalyst Matrix Module
Catalyst Matrix Module Description
There are two slots in the Catalyst Matrix for modules; a primary slot (normally on-line), and a secondary slot (normally off-line). The modules are hot-swappable. When a secondary module is installed, it provides a redundant module that can be switched on-line if the primary module fails. The primary slot is the one on the left, as viewed from the front of the unit.
Modules switch-over automatically or manually. Automatic switch-over occurs if power fails on the active module or if a primary to secondary switch-over is initiated through any attached Catalyst 3000. Switch-overs can also be initiated manually using the ACTIVATE front panel push button on the Catalyst Matrix module. Pressing the push button on the off-line module forces it on-line and causes the other module to go off-line. The newly activated module assumes the switching functions. The following sections are detailed descriptions of module switch-overs.
Automatic Switch-over From the Catalyst 3000
Automatic switch-over is initiated when a Catalyst 3000 senses that the primary module has failed. When a failure is detected, any Catalyst 3000 can request the Catalyst Matrix to switch from the primary module to the secondary module. Once the secondary module is on-line, no further switch-over requests are generated by the Catalyst 3000. This one-time switch-over prevents module swap oscillations. The Catalyst 3000 cannot initiate a switch-over from the secondary module to the primary module.
Each Catalyst 3000 periodically sends a packet to itself (self-ping). As long as the packet returns, the on-line Catalyst Matrix module is considered OK. If the self-ping packets do not arrive after a time-out, the on-line module is considered faulty and the Catalyst 3000 requests a module switch-over. The request is via a software controlled request line in the Stack Port link. If a switch-over is requested and the primary module is on-line, the Catalyst Matrix will switch to the secondary module (if present).
A manual switch-over is one that is initiated by the operator. Each module has an ACTIVATE push button on the front panel. Pressing this push button on the off-line module turns it on-line (active), while the module that was on-line is forced off-line. Pressing the push button on the on-line module has no effect.
During a controlled switch-over, data transfer management helps prevent errors. A controlled switch-over is one activated by a Catalyst 3000 (automatic) or by the user push button (manual).
An uncontrolled switch-over occurs when the on-line module is removed or powered off. Several packets could get corrupted during this time.
If the Catalyst Matrix ports are idle during module switch-over, no packets will be corrupted.
Powering a module on or off, or moving a module, has the following effects:
Simultaneous power up. When both modules are installed and powered up at the same time, the primary module will go on-line. The secondary module has a power-up delay that allows the primary module to go on-line first.
Hot insertion. If a second module (primary or secondary) is inserted and powered up after the other module has gone on-line, nothing will happen; the new module will stay off-line and the other will stay on-line.
On-line module powered off or removed. Whether primary or secondary, the remaining module will detect the other's absence and go on-line. (Packet errors may occur with this type of switch-over.)
Both ACTIVATE push buttons pressed simultaneously. Whichever push button is pressed first causes its module to go on-line and force the other off-line. In the unlikely case of a tie, the primary module will go on-line.
Catalyst Matrix Module Installation
A Catalyst Matrix module can be installed in the Catalyst Matrix chassis in either the left hand position, right hand position, or both. If a module fails, it can be easily replaced by the user. The only tool needed is a Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver. The following describes the procedure for adding or replacing a Catalyst Matrix module.
Use the following steps for installing or replacing a Catalyst Matrix module. If you are installing a module into an open slot proceed to Step 5.

Installing WS-X3004 Stack Port (Rear) Expansion Module
The following section explains the installation and use of the WS-X3004 Catalyst Stack Port connection module. With the installation of this module in each Catalyst 3000, from two to eight Catalyst 3000 units can be cabled together to form a Stack.
The WS-X3004 is a single-port expansion module with a special 50-pin connector that is installed into the rear panel of the Catalyst 3000. If you have two Catalyst 3000 units each equipped with a WS-X3004 module, then when you connect the modules, the two Catalyst 3000 units function as a Stack. If you have more than two Catalyst 3000 units each equipped with a WS-X3004 module, you can combine them into a unified Catalyst Stack by connecting each module to a Catalyst Matrix unit. See the section "Catalyst Stack Cable Connections" in Chapter 4, "Installation."

WS-X3009/WS-X3010 Dual-Port Fast Ethernet with ISL
The Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) expansion module is a dual-port interface that is used to establish a connection between Catalyst switches and high-speed devices, such as servers or routers. Each of the dual-ports can be configured as Fast Ethernet or ISL mode. For an explanation of ISL configurations see the section "ISL Functional Overview and Specifications" later in this document. For configuring ISL trunk ports from a console connection, see Chapter 7, "Console Configuration." The dual-port Fast Ethernet expansion module with ISL is available in two models:
The following topics are discussed in this section:
Figure 5-19 : WS-X3009 ISL Expansion Module Figure 5-20 : WS-X3010 ISL Expansion Module ISL Functional Overview and Specifications
ISL is used to interconnect VLAN-capable Fast Ethernet devices like Catalyst 3000 and Catalyst 5000 switches and Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7500 routers to network servers, or to high-performance backbone devices such as Fast Ethernet hubs, switches, and routers. The ISL protocol tags a standard Ethernet frame with the VLAN information associated with that frame. VLAN packet tagging allows networks to contain VLAN trunks.
A trunk is a physical link between two Catalyst switches, or between Catalyst switches and routers, that carries the traffic of multiple VLANs. Trunks allow you to extend VLANs from one Catalyst switch to another. Users usually connect switches to each other and to routers using high-speed interfaces, such as Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM.
The Catalyst series switch provides a means of multiplexing VLANs between switches and routers by using ISL on Fast Ethernet or LAN emulation on ATM protocols:
You can use any combination of these trunk technologies to form enterprise-wide VLANs. You can choose between low-cost copper and long-distance fiber connections for your trunks. An ISL trunk is like a continuation of the switching backbone. It provides a means for the Catalyst to multiplex VLANs between switches and routers.
The following figures, Figure 5-21 and Figure 5-22, are examples of Fast Ethernet ISL configurations.

Connectors, LEDs, and Switches
Table 5-15, Table 5-16, and Table 5-17 describe the connector, LEDs, and switches on the Dual Port Fast Ethernet module.
Inserting the Dual Port Fast Ethernet With ISL Module
Expansion modules are installed in the expansion slots on the front of the Catalyst switch. All front expansion modules are installed in a similar way. Use the previous section "Installing The WS-X3001 (100Base TX) Expansion Module" as an example for detailed installation instructions and precautions for the dual port Fast Ethernet module.
Cabling Dual Port Fast Ethernet With ISL Modules
The dual port Fast Ethernet module's network port is either an RJ-45 or SC-style connector, depending upon the model type. The RJ-45 connector uses UTP Ethernet Category 5 cable. The SC connector uses 1300 nm multimode fiber optic cable.
Observe the following warnings and notes when cabling a dual-port Fast Ethernet expansion module with fiber-optic cable.
When cabling the Dual Port Fast Ethernet modules, the polarity of the fiber cable connectors must be "crossed-over." The TX (transmit) connector of one device goes to the RX (receive) connector of the other device. Check the polarity of each side of the fiber-optic cable. Use one side of the fiber-optic cable to connect from the transmit (Tx) side of a dual-port Fast Ethernet module to the receive (Rx) side of another device. Use the other side of the cable to connect the receive side of the dual-port Fast Ethernet module to the transmit side of the other device.
Checking the Installation/Troubleshooting
When the link is established, the LINK LED is on. If the LED is not on, try the following tests:
If the above tests do not correct the problem, contact Cisco support.
If, after installation, there is poor system performance or the Dual Port Fast Ethernet module does not work at all, remove the module and check for any damage or bent connector pins. You may need a bright light to see inside the expansion module slot to check for bent pins. If you cannot find an immediate cause for the problem, contact Cisco support.
