1-1 Ethernet Technology

Fast Ethernet

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies are proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them, Fast Ethernet,or 100T, provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from 10T technology.

100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps,while maintaining the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet protocol.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex,flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company's existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet are essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use applications that generate more traffic.Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your subnetworks.

Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fibre connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC's are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.

In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow's rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies.

Switching Technology

Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.

Switching is a cost-eff

ork loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments, which are not competing with each other for network

netw transmission capacity, and therefore decreasing the load on each segment.

The Switch acts as a high-speed selectiv another) is automatically forwarded by the Switch,without interfering with any other segments (ports).This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards.

or Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet netw

F can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, for example, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205meter network diameter limit for 100TX networks.Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging

Allied Telesyn AT-9724TS High-Density Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

1-2 Switch Description

The AT-9724TS has 24 1000T Gigabit ports that may be used in uplinking various network devices to the Switch, including PCs, hubs and other switches to provide a gigabit Ethernet uplink in full-duplex mode.

In addition, the AT-9724TS is equipped with 4 SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) combo ports, which are to be used with fibre-optical transceiver cabling in order to uplink various other networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances.These 4 SFP ports support full-duplex transmissions, have autonegotiation and can be used with AT-MG8LX10 (1000LX),AT-MG8SX (1000SX) and AT-MG8ZX (1000ZX) transceivers.These four ports are referred to as “combo” ports which means that both the SFP ports and the 1000T ports are numbered the same (21–24) and cannot be used simultaneously.Attempting to use the ports simultaneously will cause a link down status for the 1000T ports. SFP ports will always have priority over these 1000T ports.

Also included at the rear of the Switch are two 10-gigabit stacking ports used to stack up to twelve switches in a ring topology.The AT-9724TS may be used as the master unit of a switch stack when utilizing these ports and, in total, may provide a stacking solution of up to 288 gigabit ports.

Note: The four SFP combo ports on the Switch, numbered 21–24 cannot be used simultaneously with the corresponding 1000T ports, numbered 21–24. If both ports are in use at the same time (ex. port 21 of the SFP and port 21 of the 1000T), the SFP ports will take priority over the combo ports and render the 1000T ports inoperable.

The AT-9724TS supports SNMP versions 1, 2c,and 3.You can specify which version of SNMP you want to use to monitor and control the Switch.The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security provided between the management station and the network device.

In SNMP v.1 and v.2, user authentication is accomplished using 'community strings',which function like passwords.The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from any station that has not been authenticated are ignored (dropped).

The default community strings for the Switch used for SNMP v.1 and v.2 management access are:

public – Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.

private – Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.

SNMP v.3 uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts.The first part is to maintain a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP managers.The second part describes what each user on that list can do as an SNMP manager.

The Switch allows groups of users to be listed and configured with a shared set of privileges.The SNMP version may also be set for a listed group of SNMP managers.Thus, you may create a group of SNMP managers that are allowed to view read-only information or receive traps using SNMP v.1 while assigning a higher level of security to another group, granting read/write privileges using SNMP v.3.

Using SNMP v functions.The functions allowed or restricted are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB.An additional layer of security is available for SNMP v.3 in that SNMP messages may be encrypted.To read more about how to configure SNMP v.3 settings for the Switch read the section entitled Management.

.3 individual users or groups of SNMP managers can be allowed to perform or be restricted from performing specific SNMP management

Traps

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch.The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change.The Switch generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager).Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure,Topology Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storm.

MIBs

Management and counter inf Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base.The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

ormation are stored by the Switch in the Management Information Base (MIB).The Switch uses the standard MIB-II Management

4-9 IP Address Assignment

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP,TFTP).The Switch's default IP address is 10.0.0.1.You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory.This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found by entering the command "show switch" into the command line interface, as shown below.

Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z.Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.

The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.

Figure 4- 4.Assigning the Switch an IP Address

In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.53.13.144 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully.The Switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based management.

4-10 Connecting Devices to the Switch

After you assign IP addresses to the Switch,you can connect devices to the Switch.

To connect a device to an SFP transceiver port:

• Use your cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.

• Insert the SFP transceiver (sold separately) into the SFP transceiver slot.

• Use the appropriate network cabling to connect a device to the connectors on the SFP transceiver.

m Caution: When the SFP transceiver acquires a link, the associated integrated 10/100/1000T port is disabled.

5-1 Introduction

All software functions of the AT-9724TS can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) interface.The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.

Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal switching software and configure it.

The Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the console program.

5-2 Login to Web Manager

To begin managing your Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you have defined for the device.The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.

Note: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.0.0.1.
