Chapter 1. The RackSwitch G8264
Introduction
This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo® RackSwitch™ G8264
(referred to as G8264 throughout this document).
The G8264 is a 1U rack‐mountable aggregation switch with unmatched line‐rate
Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance. The G8264 uses a wire‐speed, non‐blocking
switching fabric that provides simultaneous wire‐speed transport of multiple
packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8264 contains the following switching ports:
Forty‐eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports
which also support legacy 1 GbE connections
Four 40 GbE Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports, each of which can
optionally be used as four 10GbE/FCoE SFP+ ports
QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ modules or passive Direct‐Attach
Cables (DACs), including those that allow the port to be used as four 10 GbE SFP+
ports.
SFP+ ports, when used in 10 GbE mode, can be populated with optical transceiver
modules or active or passive DACs. When used in legacy 1 GbE mode, the ports can
be populated with optical or copper transceiver modules.
The G8264 is 1U in height and can be mounted horizontally or vertically, depending
on your application. Mounting options are available for a variety of rack systems.
For superior reliability, the G8264 uses redundant, hot‐swap power supply modules
and four hot‐swap fan modules. Module options are available for either
front‐to‐rear airflow, or rear‐to‐front airflow.
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection, a Web browser‐based interface, or SNMP‐based network
management software.
Note: Other features supported on your switch depend on the specific firmware
installed. For more information, see the Application Guide and Command Reference
for your specific switch and its installed firmware.

Rear Panel
Fans
For cooling, the rear panel of the G8264 has four bays for hot‐swap fan modules.
Four fan modules are required for redundancy. When four fan modules are used, if
there is a failure of one of the fans, the switch reports the condition, the other fans
continue to run, and the switch continues to operate normally.
You can replace one failed hot‐swap fan module while the switch is operating. If a
second fan fails, the switch reports the condition and shuts down to prevent
overheating.
Compatible fan options are listed in the Lenovo Networking Catalog.
Fan operation and internal temperatures are monitored. If the air temperature
exceeds a desired threshold, the environmental monitor displays warnings.
Note: If a fan fails, the maximum operating temperature drops from +40°C (104°F)
to +35°C (95°F).

Chapter 2: Switch Components 29
Two power supply modules are required for redundancy. Each power supply can
be connected to a separate circuit to mitigate the risk of down‐time during a
localized power failure. When used in a redundant configuration, the dual power
supplies have a load‐sharing capability that enables each power supply to operate
at approximately 50 percent of full load.
Using redundant power can minimize the power disruption during a power supply
failure and extend the expected lifetime of each power supply by operating
normally in a conservative power mode.
For proper airflow when operating the switch with only one power supply module,
the empty power supply bay must be protected by a blank cover module.
30 G8264 Installation Guide
There is no power switch on the G8264 power modules; the switch powers up when
power is supplied through the power cord to one or both power supplies.
Power LEDs
On the front of the switch, the Power LED on the management panel indicates the
general status of the power supplies. The LED flashes when only one power cord is
connected, and is steady when both power cords are connected (see “System Status
LEDs” on page 22).
Additional LED indicators are located on the rear panel of the switch, on the
individual power supply modules. The following table describes the power supply

36 G8264 Installation Guide
Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the switch and other electronic devices. To
avoid damage, keep static‐sensitive devices in their static‐protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an
electrostatic‐discharge wrist strap, if one is available.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
While the device is still in its static‐protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of any unpainted metal surface on a grounded rack component in the
rack in which you are installing the device, for at least 2 seconds. This drains
static electricity from the package and from your body.
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the switch
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into
its static‐protective package. Do not place the device on a switch cover or on a
metal surface.
Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Cabling Guidelines
Make sure that all connection cables comply with the following recommendations:
Make sure that the cables and cabling components comply with industry
standards.
Dress and affix cables to the rack to minimize the stress on the I/O connectors,
connector cages, and cables. If possible, use horizontal and vertical cable
managers to minimize obstruction of the airflow and other equipment.
Use wide Velcro straps to reduce pressure points.
Position large or heavy cable bundles under other cable bundles to prevent
crushing or stress. Over‐bundling, or placing multiple bundles on top of each
other, can degrade performance.
Make sure that the radius of any bend does not exceed the vendor
recommended minimum bend radius.
Do not stress cables and connectors by applying additional twists, tension
beyond load ratings, stapling, or applying nylon tie‐wraps with a tie‐wrap
puller.

Chapter 5. Initializing the G8264
When you supply power to the G8264, the switch initializes automatically for basic
functions.
Statement 5
CAUTION:
The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power
supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device
also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from
the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.
System Status LEDs
The following LEDs on the switch front panel indicate the overall system status:
Power: Steady green if the both power cords are connected, or flashing green if
the only one power cord is connected.
Service ( ! ): Off if the system is OK, or flashing if service is required.
For additional LED indicators, see the appropriate section in Chapter 2, “Switch
Components” starting on page 19.
Connecting to the Switch
Use the switch Command‐Line Interface (CLI) to perform additional configuration
tasks. You can access the CLI using the serial console port or management port.
Using the Serial Console Port
You can access the switch CLI through the serial console port on the front panel of
the switch. This port uses RS‐232 serial communications. Use the console cable kit to
connect the serial console port to a terminal or a computer running a terminal
emulation program.
1
2
76 G8264 Installation Guide
The console port terminal‐emulation requirements are as follows:
Default baud rate = 9,600 bps
Character size = 8 characters
Parity = none
Stop bits = 1
Data bits = 8
Flow control = none
Using the Management Port
If the switch is connected to a network that employs DHCP, you can also access the
switch CLI through the RJ‐45 management port. This port uses Ethernet
communications and can be accessed using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser via the
IP address provided by the network’s DHCP server.
Logging In to the Switch
When the switch starts, it performs initial self tests, and then prompts for the
password. For example:
At the prompt, type the switch password and press Enter. The default is admin.
Note: If the switch has already started prior to your connection, you may need to
press Enter to display the password prompt.
Default Configuration Files
The switch firmware contains default configuration files that are loaded at the
factory. When the switch first initializes, the default configuration files are loaded
into the active switch memory. The default settings allow the switch to perform
basic functions with minimal effort by the system administrator.
Custom configuration settings made by the administrator will override the default
settings and can be saved so that they are retained if the switch is rebooted.
However, if desired, you can revert the custom configuration settings to the original
factory defaults. The original factory default configuration files are a permanent
part of the firmware; you cannot deleted them or change their original definitions.

Chapter 5: Initializing the G8264 77
Configuring an IP Interface for Remote Access
To manage the switch remotely using Telnet, SNMP, or a web‐browser, you must
first configure an IP interface. You can use DHCP to automatically configure the
interface (enabled by default), or you can manually configure the following IP
parameters:
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway address
By default, DHCP is enabled on the management interfaces and BOOTP is enabled
on interface 1. If there is no DHCP offer received, the switch uses the default
management IP address (192.168.50.50/24). This address is overwritten when a
DHCP/BOOTP address is received for that interface. If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled
and there is no static address configured for DHCP/BOOTP, requests will continue
to be sent. This feature does not change existing DHCP/BOOTP functionality.
To configure an IP interface for remote management, complete the following steps.
1.Log on to the switch using the serial console port or management port on the G8264 front panel.
2.Enter IP interface mode.
3.Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment, then enable the interface.
4.Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.
After you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing
network connection, you can use the Telnet program from an external management
station to access and control the switch. The management station and your switch
must be on the same IP subnet.
The switch CLI allows you to configure and control the switch over the network
using the Telnet program. You can use the CLI to perform many basic network
management functions. In addition, you can configure the switch for management
using an SNMP‐based network management system or a web‐browser.
For more information about using the CLI, see the Command Reference guide for
your specific switch and firmware version.

Updating Firmware
If firmware updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo
website. The switch might have features that are not described in the
documentation that comes with the switch, and the documentation might be
updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical
updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in
the switch documentation.
Configuration settings are lost during a firmware update. Before updating the
firmware, save a copy of the configuration to a separate device. In the event of a
failed update, the saved configuration can be restored. For more information about
the configuration file, see the Command Reference guide for your specific switch and
firmware version.
