SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

THE FE-100F3 FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE, FPIM-05 AND

FPIM-07 FDDI PORT INTERFACE MODULES, AND APIM-29 ATM

PORT INTERFACE MODULE USE CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS.

READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE

INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.

The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:

• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).

• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).

• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1

accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS

When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the ﬁber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the ﬁber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.

Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is

0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

1.5 PORT REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN (CHASSIS)

The Port Redirect Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-6, enables the user to select a source module and port as well as a destination module and port and add a new Port Redirect or delete an existing one. Source and destination ports can only be used in one redirect instance, and only installed and capable modules and ports will appear in the selectable ﬁelds. If a port is currently being redirected, it does not appear in the source or destination selectable ﬁelds. Frames received on the source port can be redirected in a particular frame format, and any frames with errors can be either dropped or forwarded to the destination port. For example, port 1 can be set as the source port with port 2 as the destination port. Frames from port 1 are then automatically redirected to port 2 according to a particular frame format, and frames with errors can be either forwarded or dropped according to the screen settings.

The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traf ﬁc to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current trafﬁc from the source port can be examined.

Although all trafﬁc from the source port (including, if desired,

NOTE

errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal s witching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

To access the Port Redirect Conﬁguration screen from the Port Redirect screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT CONFIGURATION menu item and press ENTER.

1.6 VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN (CHASSIS)

The VLAN Redirect Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-6, enables the user to select a source module and VLAN ID and a destination module and port as well as add a new VLAN Redirect or delete an existing one. For example, VLAN ID 1 can be set as the source VLAN ID with port 2 as the destination port. Trafﬁc from VLAN 1 is then automatically redirected to port 2 according to the Frame Format setting for that source VLAN. The Frame Format setting determines the format in which the frames receiv ed belonging to the source VLAN are redirected to the destination port. The frames can be forwarded in the frame format as received, tagged, or untagged.

The VLAN redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows trafﬁc associated with a particular VLAN to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current trafﬁc from the source VLAN can be examined.

Although trafﬁc associated with a particular VLAN is sent to the

NOTE

destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

The Redirect Errors function is not supported on this screen.

To access the VLAN Redirect Conﬁguration screen from the Port Redirect screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION menu item and press ENTER. The VLAN Redirect Conﬁguration screen displays.

Advertised Ability (Selectable)

During auto-negotiation, the FE-100TX “tells” the module at the other end of the segment about its capabilities. The capabilities of a port with an FE-100TX installed are 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex mode), 100Base-TX and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex mode). In normal operation, with all capabilities enabled, the FE-100TX “advertises” that it has the ability to operate in any mode. The Network Manager (or user) may choose to set up the port so that only a portion of the available capabilities are advertised and the others are disabled. For example, only 100Base-TX and 100Base-TXFD might be enabled so that only devices that operate at 100 Mbps can communicate with that port. Section 1.13.5 describes how to enable or disable advertised modes.

1.13.1 Conﬁguring an FE-100FX or FE-100F3

When an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 is installed, it must be manually set to operate in the same technology as the device at the other end of the connected segment. Section 1.13.2 provides instructions for manually conﬁguring the port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 interface.

VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION

The VLAN Redirect Conﬁguration screen is used to conﬁgure the module to direct trafﬁc from a VLAN to a particular switch port. For details, refer to Section 1.16.

1.15 PORT REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN

The Port Redirect Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-16, enables the user to redirect frames from one source port to one destination port on the module. Frames received on the source port can be redirected and transmitted in the frame format in which they are received (normal), or they can be redirected with a VLAN Tag (TAGGED) or without a VLAN Tag (UNTAGGED). Also, any errored frames received can be either dropped or forwarded to the destination port. For example, port 1 can be set as the source port with port 2 as the destination port. Frames from port 1 are then automatically redirected to port 2 according to the conﬁgured frame format, and frames with errors can be either forwarded or dropped according to the screen settings.

If an optional ATM interface is installed, up to 128 ports may be

NOTE

set to redirect frames. This includes ATM Port Virtual Channels (PVCs).

The port redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows trafﬁc to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current trafﬁc from the source port can be examined.

Although all trafﬁc from the source port (including, if desired,

NOTE

1.16 VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN

The VLAN Redirect Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-17, enables the user to select a source VLAN ID and a destination port on the module. For example, VLAN ID 1 can be set as the source VLAN with port 2 as the destination port. Trafﬁc from VLAN 1 is then automatically redirected to port 2 according to the Frame Format setting for that source VLAN. The Frame Format setting determines the format in which the frames receiv ed belonging to the source VLAN are redirected to the destination port. The frames can be forwarded in the frame format as received, tagged, or untagged.

The VLAN redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows trafﬁc associated with a particular VLAN to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current trafﬁc from the source VLAN can be examined.

Although trafﬁc associated with a particular VLAN is sent to the

NOTE

destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

The Redirect Errors function is not supported on this screen.

1.21 SUMMARY OF VLAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT

The VLAN conﬁguration process is an extension of normal Local Management operations. A series of Local Management screens provides access to the functions and commands necessary to add, change, or delete VLANs and to assign ports to those VLANs. The IGMP/VLAN Conﬁguration screen has been added to the SmartSwitch to enable the operation of IGMP on selected VLANs.

A switch supporting 802.1Q VLANs provides the VLAN Conﬁguration screens as a standard part of its Local Management hierarchy when the switch is conﬁgured to operate in 802.1Q Mode. The hierarchy of the Local Management screens pertaining to 802.1Q VLAN conﬁguration is shown back in Figure 1-2. For information concerning the other VLAN screens, refer to the Cabletron Systems 802.1Q VLAN User’s Guide.

IGMP/VLAN CONFIGURATION

Used to enable or disable IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) on selected VLANs. For details, refer to Section 1.23.

1.23 IGMP/VLAN CONFIGURATION SCREEN

The IGMP/VLAN Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-22, allows the user to enable or disable IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol, RFC 2236) on selected VLANs.

IGMP provides a solution for handling multicast streams in layer 2 switching devices. IGMP is for hosts on multi-access networks to inform locally attached switches of their Multicast group membership information. This is performed by hosts multicasting IGMP Host Membership Reports. Multicast switches listen for these messages and then pass them to routers. This allows distribution trees to be formed to deliver multicast datagrams.

Information from the IGMP packets is used to send the multicast stream only to the end stations that request it. IGMP is enabled or disabled by VLAN, not port-by-port.

Certain versions of ﬁrmware will not allow the switch to be a

NOTE

querier. Please check your release notes for further information. Refer to RFC 2236, Section 8, for more information on IGMP, and also Appendix A.

The following multicast routing protocols are transparently supported and are used only to detect the location of routers (see the Release Notes for any changes or additions to this list):

• DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol, RFC 1075)

• PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) version 1 and 2

• CBT (Core Based Trees)

• MOSPF (Multicast OSPF, RFC 1583)

Displays the current conﬁgured IGMP version running on the VLAN selected in the VLAN ID ﬁeld. The default is version 2. The IGMP Version ﬁeld can be toggled to conﬁgure the switch in either version 1 or 2 to match the router conﬁguration. For IGMP to function correctly, all switches on a LAN must be conﬁgured to run the same version of IGMP.

Query Interval (Modiﬁable)

If the switch is the querier, the value in the Query Interval ﬁeld indicates how often IGMP Host-Query frames are transmitted on the VLAN selected in the VLAN ID ﬁeld. This value is also used in calculations for other timers. The default value is 125 seconds. The range of possible entries is 1 to 300 seconds. An entry outside of the range will cause the error message “PERMISSIBLE RANGE: 1...300” to display in the Event Message ﬁeld.

Interface Robustness (Modiﬁable)

Allows tuning for the expected frame loss on a subnet. If a subnet is expected to be high loss, the Robustness Variable may be increased. IGMP is robust to (Robustness Variable-1) packet losses. This value is also used in calculations for other timers. The default value is 2.

If the Interface Robustness is adjusted higher than the default

TIP

value, depending on the network, this may be an indication of problems with the network that need to be resolved.

Last Member Query Interval (Modiﬁable)

Displays the Max Response Time inserted into Group-Speciﬁc Queries sent in response to Leave Group messages, and is also the amount of time between Group-Speciﬁc Query messages. This value may be tuned to modify the leave latency of the network. A reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. The interval is in tenths of seconds. This value is not used if the switch is not the querier.

Querier Address (Read-Only)

Displays the address of the IGMP Querier on the IP subnet to which this VLAN is attached.

Querier Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the number of seconds that the current IGMP Querier has been operational since the last change in Queriers.

Querier Expire Time (Read-Only)

1.26 ADVANCED PORT PRIORITY CONFIGURATION

SCREEN

The Advanced Port Priority Conﬁguration screen, Figure 1-25, is used to set the Priority/Queue Mapping and Priority Regeneration for a particular port and also can be used to change the default port priority. Priority/Queue Mapping is used to set the transmit (TX) queue (0 or 1, with 0 being the lowest level TX queue) for each frame priority.

For example, if the TX queue is set to 1 for those frames with a priority 1, then those frames would be transmitted before any frames with a priority that has the TX queue set to 0.

Priority Regeneration is used to classify different types of trafﬁc by reprioritizing received frames to a different transmit priority. For example, the frames associated with a particular type of trafﬁc that ha v e a received (RX) transmit priority, or a port default priority, of 3 could be changed to have a transmit priority of 5.

The Advanced Port Priority Conﬁguration screen does not

The following describes ho w frames of learned trafﬁc is handled. When a frame is received, it is checked to see if it has a priority. If it does, it is forwarded to the appropriate output port. If it does not, the frame is assigned the default RX priority and then forwarded to the appropriate output port. At the output port, the RX priority of the frame is checked against the TX Regeneration table and may be transmitted at a different TX priority according to the table. For example, a frame with an RX priority of 3 could be regenerated with a TX priority of 5. The new value would also be inserted in the VLAN tag if the frame is tagged as outbound.

The regenerated priority is used to determine the correct queue as deﬁned in the Priority/Queue Mapping. The default values for the TX Priority settings are listed in Table 1-3 according to RX priority.

Security State (Selectable)

Used to select the security state for each port on the connector for frames received. The states are as follows:

• NonSecure – Allows the ports on the connector to receive all frames.

The source address of received frames is not e xamined and the frames are processed in a non secure state. The last source address detected is displayed in the address column. This provides a quick and easy way to see what address belongs to what port.

• LockOnNext – The next frame received by each port is examined to

learn its source address. After the source address of a frame is learned on a port, it is now locked on that address and only those frames received with that same source address are allowed on that port. All frames received that do not have that same source address will cause the device to execute the actions selected in the Action On Intruder ﬁeld.

• LockedOnAddr – The port locks do wn on the address that is currently

conﬁgured in the Port Level Security Conﬁguration screen (if one is entered) or on the source address of the currently received frame. If an address is not conﬁgured or received, the device assumes the default address of “00-00-00-00-00-00” as the locked on address as indicated by the address ﬁelds in Figure 2-3. When a port is locked on an address and a frame received violates the set security, the actions selected in the Action On Intruder ﬁeld are executed.
