6 Built-In Self Test (BIST)

The BIST performs a set of basic hardware and configuration validity tests. Tests in the BIST

are sorted into several groups – for example, the tests of the Power Supply units belong to a

Power Supply Test group.

Startup BIST - The BIST is performed automatically on startup. The results are summarized on

the terminal before the switch banner.

BIST by request - A user may request BIST execution at any time by using a CLI command.

The current BIST status may be read and cleared by using CLI commands.

When the BIST detects a failure in any of the tests, it causes the Status LED indicator to blink.

The ALCATEL 7250 supports the following tests:

• CPU Notify RAM Test

• CPU Interface Test

• Testing Switch Core

• Data Buffer Test

• Power Supply Test

• On-Board Power Test

• Fan Test

Table 6-1 describes the tests.


29/41

6-2

Table 6-1: Description of the Built-in Tests

Test Description

CPU Notify RAM

Test

On boot, the entire DRAM (256M) is tested. This test is run once at

startup.

CPU Interface Test Checks the existence of the UART (register write/read operation).

Both COM1 and COM2 are checked.

Testing Switch Core Checks validity and functionality of the switch core.

Data Buffer Test Checks the integrity of NVRAM database.

Power Supply Test Checks the existence and status of the DC power supplies.

If both DC power supplies are connected, the test will result with

Passed. When one of the DC power supply is disconnected, the test

will result with Failed.

Fan Test Checks the status of the 3 fans.

On-Board Power Test Checks the 5 On-Board Power levels: 3.2V , 2.5V , 1.8V , 1.5V and

1.25V.

6.1 BIST Test Results Review

If any of the BIST tests fail, the FLT LED starts blinking. To display BIST results, perform the

following steps:

1. Connect a terminal cable to Console port.

2. Re-power the unit, if required.

3. Use the show self-test command in Privileged (Enable) mode. If you prefer to display allBIST results, use the show self-test full command instead.

To invoke a BIST by Request at any time while the ALCATEL 7250 is running, use the self-

test command in Privileged (Enable) mode.

The ALCATEL 7250 will automatically start up in debug mode when one of the five On-Board power levels deviates by 2% above or below the required level. See the explanation below.

6.2 Startup Execution of BIST

The startup BIST reports a summary of the results by BIST group. If all tests of the group pass,

Passed is displayed for all groups.

7 Software Download

The executable software image contained on the ALCATEL 7250 Access platform can be

upgraded via the network whenever new versions become available, reflecting changes in the

MIBs or enhancements to the software. The software is stored in erasable Flash memory. It

must be downloaded using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

IMPORTANT

NOTE

!

Before loading new software, the unit’s configuration must be saved in

an external text file as shown in Section 5.2 - “Saving Configuration in

a Text File”, because downloading a new software version will cause

the configuration to revert to the factory defaults.

7.1 Software Image Naming Conventions

Table 7-1 displays typical software image names (application software release 3.8.9 and

7250View software release 3.3.9 are used as examples).

NOTE The image name is a typical example. The numbers in the name are

illustrative and should not be regarded as the latest released version numbers.

7.2 Downloading a Device Software Image to the

Switch Using TFTP

Preparing to Download an Image Using TFTP

Before you begin to download a software image using TFTP, take the following precautions:

• Ensure that the workstation acting as TFTP server is configured properly.

• Ensure that the ALCATEL 7250 has a route to the TFTP server. The ALCATEL 7250 andthe TFTP server must be in the same subnet if you do not have a router to route traffic

between subnets. Use the ping command to check connectivity to the TFTP server.

• Ensure that the software image to be downloaded is in the correct directory on the TFTPserver.


33/41

7-2

• Ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be atleast read for the specific username.

• A power outage (or other problem) during the download procedure can corrupt the Flashcode. If the Flash code is corrupted, you can connect to the ALCATEL 7250 through the

console port and download the application in the Loader by using the download

application command.

Downloading a Device Software Image Using TFTP

To download a device software image to the ALCATEL 7250 from a TFTP server, proceed as

follows:

Step 1. Copy the device software image file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the

workstation.

Step 2. Log into the ALCATEL 7250 through the console port or through a Telnet session.

If you log in using Telnet, your Telnet session will disconnect when you reset the

ALCATEL 7250 to run the new software.

Step 3. Make sure there is enough free space on the device file system. Use “dir”

command for this. Free disk space should be at least 0.5MB larger then the

downloaded application size.

7250#dir

Example:

7250#dirLi s t i ng Di rectory f l ash: / :d S 2048 J un 30 2005 17: 56 Boot /

Fr ee di sk space 5655104

Step 4. If there is not enough free space, delete unnecessary files. This is done by using

“del” command.

7250#del

Example:

7250#del /Boot/Oldimage.bin

Step 5. Download the device software image from the TFTP server using the copy

application command in Privileged (Enable) mode:

7250#copy application [ ]


34/41

7-3

Example:

7250#copy application tftp://192.192.54.0/7250v6.3.4.bin

NOTE The ALCATEL 7250 remains operational while the image is downloaded.

The application is downloaded into /Boot directory.

Step 6. Configure the ALCATEL 7250 to boot with the newly downloaded image. This is

done by selecting boot application and boot device.

7250#config boot7250( boot par am) #application 7250( boot par am) #device local 7250( boot par am) #exit

Example:

7250#config boot7250( boot par am) #application 7250v6.3.4.bin 7250( boot par am) #device local 7250( boot par am) #exit

Step 7. Reset the ALCATEL 7250 using one of the reload commands. If you are

connected to the ALCATEL 7250 through Telnet, your Telnet session will be

disconnected.

Step 8. After the ALCATEL 7250 reboots, enter the show version command to check the

version on the ALCATEL 7250.

Downloading a 7250View Image Using TFTP

To download a 7250View software image to the ALCATEL 7250 from a TFTP server, proceed

as follows:

Step 1. Copy the 7250View software image file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the

workstation.

Step 2. Log into the ALCATEL 7250 through the console port or through a Telnet session.

If you log in using Telnet, your Telnet session will disconnect when you reset theALCATEL 7250 to run the new software.

Step 3. Download the 7250View software image from the TFTP server using the copy

java command in Privileged (Enable) mode:

7250#copy java [ ]

Example:

7250#copy java tftp://192.192.54.0/7250ViewL3-V3.3.9.img

NOTE The ALCATEL 7250 remains operational while the image is downloaded.

http://www.alcatel.com/


35/41

7-4

The Java image is downloaded into /Java directory.

Step 4. Enter the show version command to check the Java version on the ALCATEL

7250.

7.3 Software upgrade via Ethernet Port (Outband)

The ALCATEL 7250 has an Ethernet port which allows the user to access the ALCATEL 7250

for management purposes or software upgrades. This port, labeled ETH, is on the left side of the

ALCATEL 7250's front panel and is not one of the switched ports. In order to configure this

port for IP the following commands should be used (from config mode):

7250( conf i g) #interface Outband07250( conf i g Outband0)#ip addr 10.1.1.7/8

This command will assign the IP address 10.1.1.7 and the netmask 255.0.0.0

In order to see the current configuration of this IP interface, the following command should be

used (from Privileged (Enable) mode):

7250#show ip interfaces

If you want to save the new IP address of the Outband0 interface, use the write command (fromPrivileged (Enable) mode).

8 Hot-swapping Modules

8.1 Hot-Swapping an Access Module

The access modules and the power-supply modules can be extracted or replaced without

interrupting the ALCATEL 7250’s operation. You can extract an Access module without

preparation if immediate hot-swap is required, but using CLI commands to prepare the module

for extraction is highly recommended in order to assure graceful hot-swapping.

Once the module is ready for extraction, release the panel screws on both sides of the module

and draw the module out of its slot. Insert the replacement module in the slot, push it carefullyall the way in and fasten the panel screws.

Figure 8-1: Extracting an Access Module

CAUTION To avoid improper ventilation to the ALCATEL 7250’s internal circuitry

and units, never leave an empty access slot uncovered. If a removed

module is not immediately replaced, cover the empty slot with the supplied

blank faceplate and fasten it to the panel with the two screws.

The access slots are designed to optionally accommodate a wide module that occupies both slots(future hardware implementation not currently available). Insertion of a wide module will

require removal of the supporting rail between the Access slots.

CAUTION Removal of the supporting rail changes the device access slots types from

single-slot to dual-slot. Such an operation can be performed only once

during initial configuration of the device.

Even though hot-swap operation is supported both for single-module and

dual-module slots, the conversion of the device from dual-slot into single

slot configuration is a part of initial hardware configuration of the device

and cannot be reversed.

Technical Lab support is required to undo this hardware change.

To remove the supporting rail between the Access slots, release the screw that holds it to its

place (see Figure 8-2) and draw the rail out.

8.2 Hot-Swapping a Power Supply

The ALCATEL 7250 has two redundant power supplies, and can be operated when only one

power supply is connected and powered on, or with both power supplies active. When both

power supplies are active, you can remove or replace one power supply unit without

interrupting the operation of the ALCATEL 7250.

To extract a power-supply unit, release the panel screws on both sides of the unit and draw the

unit out of its slot. Insert the replacement unit in the slot, push it carefully all the way in andfasten the panel screws.

Figure 8-3: Extracting a Power-Supply Unit

CAUTION To avoid improper ventilation to the ALCATEL 7250’s internal circuitry

and units, never leave an empty slot uncovered. If a removed power supply

is not replaced, insert the supplied blank PSU filler into the slot and fasten

it to the panel with the two screws.

39/41

8-4

NOTE Before extracting a power supply unit while the ALCATEL 7250 is

running, verify that the other power supply is properly functioning, as

indicated by the corresponding PSU LEDs on the front panel.

REMEMBER:

Both power-supply fans may function even if only one power supply is

connected, to prevent overheating. A working fan does not indicate that the power supply on which it is assembled is active.
