Setup Extreme ReachNXT 100-8t with uplink switch

Problem Description : 

Setup Extreme ReachNXT 100-8t with uplink switch

 Resolution : 

To initialize the ReachNXT 100-8t, perform the following steps on the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch:

If the ReachNXT 100-8t will be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch, configure PoE on the uplinked switch, using the following commands:

enable inline-power (enabled by default)

show inline-power

configure inline-power

For more information about configuring PoE, refer to the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

Enable LLDP for the port to which the ReachNXT 100-8t will be connected. Use the following command to enable LLDP:

enable lldp ports [all | <port_list>]

Connect the ReachNXT 100-8t uplink port (port 9 or 9x) to the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch.

This initializes the ReachNXT 100-8t. When initialization is complete, and the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch is detected, the MGMT LED on the ReachNXT 100-8t lights solid green.

To verify that the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch detects the ReachNXT 100-8t, enter the following command on the uplinked switch:

show lldp neighbors detailed

For an LLDP neighbor that is a ReachNXT 100-8t, the command output is similar to the following:

# show lldp neighbors detailed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

LLDP Port 4:1 detected 1 neighbor

Neighbor: 00:04:96:1F:A8:00/9, age 29 seconds

1.Chassis ID type: MAC address (4) Chassis ID : 00:04:96:1F:A8:00

2.Port ID type: ifName (5) Port ID : "9"

3.Time To Live: 120 seconds

- System Name: "Reach 100-8t 800284-00-01 0840G-00560"

 -System Description: "Reach 100-8t 1.6.1.6"

NOTE: To function, the ReachNXT 100-8t must be connected to an ExtremeXOS switch. The ReachNXT 100-8t only

operates when it detects an ExtremeXOS switch connected to the uplink port via LLDP. LLDP must be enabled on

the ExtremeXOS switch to which the ReachNXT 100-8t is connected. The ReachNXT 100-8t disables its user ports

if no ExtremeXOS switch is detected, or the uplink is down. The user ports are re-enabled when the uplink port is

up, and an ExtremeXOS switch is detected.
