Network Application

X-Ring Application

The EIR508 series of Industrial Switches incorporate the X-Ring Protocol to
ensure network reliability and system restoration within 300 ms in the event
of a connection failure. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to the spanning tree
protocol (STP) algorithm but it has faster recovery time. The following figure
below is an example of an X-Ring application.

B&B Electronics – Westlink Commercial Park – Oranmore, Galway, Ireland – Ph [phone] – Fax [phone] – www.bb-europe.com

Coupling Ring Application

If the network has more than one X-Ring group, the coupling ring function is
used to connect them and add redundancy. This ensures that transmissions
between the two ring groups will not fail. The figure below is an example of
the coupling ring application.

24

Dual Homing Application

The Dual Homing function is used to prevent a connection loss between the
X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch. Assign a port in each X-ring
group to be the Dual Homing ports The Dual Homing function can only be
used when the X-Ring function is active. Each X-Ring group can have one
Dual Homing port.

[NOTE] In the Dual Homing architecture, the upper level switches must
have Rapid Spanning Tree protocol enabled.

VLAN configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) can be thought of as a broadcast domain that exists
within a switch or a defined set of switches. By grouping switch ports into
VLANs, traffic flooding is limited since devices can only communicate
directly with devices belonging to the VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a switch
is the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of devices to another Layer
2 switch. However, the network devices retain their same physical
connection. The EIR508 series switches support port-based and 802.1Q
(tagged-based) VLAN. In the default configuration, the VLAN option is
disabled.

VLAN Configuration interface

Port-based VLAN

With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a VLAN. Therefore, all
devices attached to a given port should be members of the same VLAN. As
with other VLAN configurations, the packets forwarded using this method do
not leak into other VLAN domains on the network. After the port has been
assigned to a VLAN, devices on the port cannot send to or receive from
devices in other VLANs without the intervention of another layer 3 device or
the ability to tag the data packet with a specific PVID.

802.1Q VLAN

Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification which allows VLANs
to be created across devices from different venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frame. The tag contains a
VLAN Identifier (VID).

When the 802.1Q VLAN is enabled, all ports on the switch belong to a
default VLAN (VID 1). The default VLAN can’t be deled. The EIR508 series
will support up to 64 VLAN groups.

RSTP Configuration

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP). It provides a faster spanning tree convergence after a
topology change. The switch will auto detect a device that is running STP or
RSTP protocol.

System Configuration

 Modify RSTP state.

 RSTP mode: Enable or disable RSTP function.
 Priority (0-61440): a value used to identify the root bridge. The

bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected
as the root. If the value changes, the switch must be rebooted. The
priority value must be multiple of 4096 according to the protocol
standard rule.

 Max Age (6-40): the number of seconds a bridge waits without

receiving Spanning-tree Protocol configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6 and 40

 Hello Time (1-10): The time that the control switch sends out a

BPDU packet to check RSTP status. Enter a value between 1 and

10.

 Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds a port waits

before changing from its Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning
and listening states to the forwarding state. Enter a value between
4 through 30.

[NOTE]

1. Use the following rule to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time,
and Forward Delay Time

2 x (Forward Delay Time value –1) > = Max Age value >= 2
x (Hello Time value +1)

2. If the configuration is not saved it will be lost when the
switch is powered off.

200000000

 Priority: Network priority. Enter a number from 0 to 240. The value of

priority must be a multiple of 16

 Admin P2P: Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible

within RSTP are dependent upon whether the port concerned can only
be connected to one other bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point
LAN segment), or whether it can be connected to two or more bridges

X-Ring

X-Ring provides network redundancy similar to the Spanning Tree and
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols. However, recovery time is greatly reduced
when the X-Ring protocol is used. The protocol identifies one switch as the
Ring Master. Packets are blocked from the redundant path unless a ring
member becomes disconnected from the rest of the network. When this
happens, the protocol automatically restores connectivity using the
redundant path.
In the X-Ring topology, every switch should enable X-Ring function and
assign two member ports to the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group
would be set as the backup switch. Other switches are called working
switches and their two member ports are called working ports. If a network
connection failure occurs, the backup port will automatically become a
working port to recover.
The switch has a Dipswitch to configure the switch as the ring master. The
ring master has the rights to negotiate and place a command to other
switches in the X-Ring group. If more than one switch is in master mode,
the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the
ring master. An LED on the front panel indicates that the switch is the ring
master.
Coupling ring is used to connect 2 or more X-Ring groups providing a
redundant back-up Dual homing is used to recover from a connection loss
between an X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch.
X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology.
The action is similar with STP or RSTP, but the algorithms not the same.

 Enable X-Ring: Mark the check box to enable the X-Ring function
 1st & 2nd Working Ports: Assign two ports as the member ports. One

port will be working port and one port will be the backup port. The
system will automatically decide which port is working port and which
port is backup port.

 Enable Coupling Ring: Mark the check box to enable the coupling ring

QoS Configuration

Configure QoS setting of every port

 QoS Policy: Select the QoS policy rule

 Using the 8,4,2,1 weight fair queue scheme: The switch will

follow 8:4:2:1 rate to process priority queue from Highest to lowest..
For example: the system will process 8 high queue packets, 4
middle queue packets, 2 low queue packets, and one lowest

52

queue packets at the same time.

 Use the strict priority scheme: The highest queue will always be

processed first.

 Priority Type: Every port has 5 priority types

 Port-base: The port priority will follow the default port priority

assigned – High, middle, low, or lowest.

 COS only: The port will follow the COS priority assigned.
 TOS only: The port will follow the TOS priority assigned.
 COS first: The port will follow COS priority first, and then another

priority rule.

 TOS first: The port will follow TOS priority first, and then another

priority rule.

 COS priority: Set the COS priority level 0~7
 TOS priority: The system provides 0 to 63 TOS priority levels. Each

level has 4 types of priority – high, mid, low, and lowest. The default
value is “Lowest”. When the IP packet is received, the system will check
the TOS value.

[NOTE] QoS and Rate control cannot be used simultaneously.
