1. Introduction: Industrial Ethernet

Harsh environments require robust solutions.

The Avaya-Belden Industrial Ethernet (IE) solutions can stand up to environmental settings that have
wide temperature ranges, excessively dirty areas, high EMI, or areas where it is not always feasible or
possible to use a NEMA-rated enclosure to protect the Ethernet switching equipment. Examples of this
include:

 Manufacturing
 Military
 Mining (coal, gas, etc.)
 Civil communications infrastructures
 Department of Transportation

In the manufacturing environment, Industrial Ethernet will soon completely replace proprietary BUS­systems (fieldbus, Profibus, etc.) that are connecting industrial robots, actors, sensors and other
manufacturing components. This migration to Ethernet is being driven by the ubiquitous availability and
price points of Ethernet. Most, if not all, manufacturing environments already have some form of Ethernet
in place – handling the office/backend networks. The ability to leverage this, along with the continually
lowering price of Ethernet makes this very attractive as a Layer 1 / Layer 2 replacement for the plant floor
network.

Avaya and Belden are working together to offer a joint solution of industrial and data center switching
infrastructure that ensures the interoperability and integration between the equipment offered by the two
vendors. The Avaya-Belden total solution now encompasses not only the IE network, but also the
backend office infrastructure.

2. Avaya-Hirschmann™ Ethernet Switches
interoperability testing

This document provides the details of the interoperability testing between the Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switches and the Hirschmann™ Industrial Switches. The various network design scenarios and test
cases are detailed in this of this document.

The interoperability testing focused primarily on verifying throughput under normal conditions and then
simulating various fault conditions to test high availability. The following sections describe the Avaya and
Hirschmann™ switches used in these tests.

2.1 Avaya Ethernet switching components

The following Avaya Ethernet switches are part of this solution:

Avaya Ethernet Switch 470
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5600
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5530

2.1.1 Ethernet Routing Switch 5600

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 (ERS 5600) is a Layer 2/3 routing switch providing direct end station
connectivity, aggregation for closet connectivity, as well as for servers, network appliances, and other
devices. The ERS 5600 provides flexibility in many network designs as it can be utilized as a closet
switch, aggregation switch, or as a small core switch.

The ERS 5600 supports Switch Clustering by using Split Multilink Trunking (SMLT) for active/active uplink
connectivity without the use of any form of spanning tree. However, the ERS 5600 also supports the IEEE

802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for those environments where spanning tree is desired.

Figure 1 – ERS 5600

2.1.2 Ethernet Routing Switch 5530

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5530 (ERS 5530) can be used for data center aggregation or as the core of
a small network. The ERS 5530-24TFD comes with 24 ports of 10/100/1000, including twelve in a combo
configuration with 1000BASE-X SFP ports, and two ports of 10GBASE-X XFP connectivity.

This switch is a versatile and powerful aggregation platform. As with all ERS 5500 models, the ERS 5530
features support for an external redundant power supply and full Stack-compatibility with the ERS 5600
models.

2.1.3 Ethernet Switch 470

The Ethernet Switch 470 (ES 470) is a stackable switch that provides resiliency, convergence readiness,
and security. It includes two built-in GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) uplink ports and built-in stacking
ports in a compact, 1 rack-unit high design.

The ES 470 delivers Layer 2 switching for simplified network deployments and helps drive lower Total
Cost of Ownership. The ES 470 switches are designed to provide high-density desktop connectivity for
use in the wiring closets. All models are ideal for mid to large-size businesses and large enterprise branch
offices. All models include Lifetime Warranty.

2.2 Hirschmann™ Ethernet switching components

The following Hirschmann™ Ethernet switches are part of this solution:

Hirschmann™ MACH1040
Hirschmann™ RS30
Hirschmann™ MS30

2.2.1 Hirschmann™ Ruggedized Switch MACH1040

Hirschmann™ Ruggedized Switches are designed for high network availability and operational safety in
the harshest conditions. The Hirschmann™ MACH1040 Gigabit Ethernet Switch operates in the
temperature range of -40 to +70 °C, and it has high resistance to shock, vibration, electrical discharge,
and magnetic fields. The MACH 1040 also uses the latest energy-saving chip technology, providing an
extremely low thermal footprint despite being fan-less.

The MACH 1040 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a 19” rack-mount Layer-2/3 routing switch with either 16 front
or rear-facing Gigabit Ethernet RJ45/SFP combo ports (the Small-Form factor Pluggable ports support
100 mbps and Gigabit transceivers). The rear-facing option provides a cleaner look and restricts
unauthorized access to the cabling and all ports support version 2 of Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588
version 2) while 4 of the 16 ports are available with Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af).

Management functions include Command Line Interface, Management Information Base, Telnet, HTTP,
TFTP as well as SFP Management. In addition, an SNMP interface permits the use of network
management software, such as HiVision and HiDiscovery. For high network availability, the MACH 1040
supports media redundancy capabilities such as Fast HIPER Ring, MRP (IEC ring function), Trunking,
Link Aggregation and Rapid Spanning Tree. Security mechanisms include access control according to
IEEE 802.1x, IP and MAC port security as well as SNMP V3 und SSH.

2.2.2 Hirschmann™ Rail Switch RS30

The Hirschmann™ Rail Switch (RS30) is a compact, managed OpenRail switch that comes in a small
footprint. The RS30 is a Layer 2 switch that provides high port-density with speeds up to 1 Gigabit. The
switch is Class 1 Div 2 rated, has a redundant media/ring, redundant power inputs, and DIN rail mounts. It
also comes with extensive security options and alarming to ensure network integrity.

Figure 3 – RS30

2.2.3 Hirschmann™ Modular MICE Switch MS30

MICE refers to the Mechanical, Ingress, Climatic/Chemical and Electromagnetic noise environment where
the switch is going to be installed. The Modular Switch 30 (MS30) is a MICE Switch that offers you
maximum flexibility due to the huge variety of media modules and therefore perfectly prepared for the
growing network demands of the future. The MS30 is a Layer 2 switch that supports RSTP, HIPER-ring,

and redundant network/ring coupling.

The following equipment and software were used for the sample configuration provided:

4. Testing methodology

The Avaya Data Solutions Test Lab conducted comprehensive tests using a methodology that verified
connectivity under normal conditions and under various fault conditions. The testing consisted of using

PCs connected to the Hirschmann™ switches (100Mbps Ethernet) and a PC connected to an ES 470
(100Mbps Ethernet). Pings were run between all the PCs in both directions. This ensured network
connectivity to and through the core of the network.

A steady-state environment was tested where all devices were properly configured and connected as
shown in each of the network topology figures. From this steady state, links and switches were failed to
simulate network outages. These links and switches were then recovered simulating the restoration of the
network. The results of each of these tests are detailed in the tables for each section. Please note that all
tests were done simulating a single point of failure in the network. Multiple, simultaneous failures are out
of the scope of these tests.

The Test Lab used the following scenarios to test the solution:

1) ERS 5600 single connection to Hirschmann™ switches (See next section.)

2) ERS 5600 MLT connection to Hirschmann™ switches (See page 22.)

3) ERS 5530 switch cluster connection to Hirschmann™ switches (See page 33.)

Hirschmann™ switches used in this testing.

The following figure represents the topology for this test:

Figure 5 – ERS 5600 single connection to Hirschmann™ switches

5.1 Procedure steps

1. Set up a single connection between the ERS 5600 and the Hirschmann™ MACH1040.

2. Test basic interoperability of link auto-negotiation (half/full duplex and 10/100/1000 Mbps).

3. Test on both copper and fiber ports.

4. Connect the ERS 5600 to the Hirschmann™ RS30 and repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Connect the ERS 5600 to the Hirschmann™ MS30 and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Note: This test uses Port 1/3 as the connection to the Hirschmann™ switches. It also uses only one
VLAN (VLAN 1).
