Overview

1.3 OVERVIEW

The HSIM-W85 extends the functionality of certain Cabletron Systems platforms by providing an interface for Wide Area Network (WAN) DS1 services. The HSIM-W85 is a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) used to provide WAN services using the SmartSwitch series of products as a platform. The HSIM-W85 has 8 physical DS1 interfaces, providing 8 separate logical DS1 connections. Eight separate T1 circuits can be conﬁgured, or the circuits can be combined into various Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) groupings, up to a 12 Mbps full duplex data circuit within a Layer 2 IMUX group.

The typical conﬁguration is a head-end WAN aggregation point for up to 8 T1s into a single WAN physical interface. The HSIM-W85 is able to uplink any combination of single T1s or multiple T1 IMUX groups to the backbone. Refer to Appendix B for a diagram of a typical conﬁguration.

The HSIM-W85 has its own i960 HD microprocessor used to process data packets, provide simple conﬁguration, Inverse Multiplexer functionality, and statistics processing. The SmartSwitch host platform provides the required logical IP Host services. The HSIM-W85 is designed to be installed in any Cabletron Systems product that supports the High Speed Interface Module.

The HSIM-W85 operates in two modes:

•

Switching

•

IMUX

The ﬁrst mode, switching, is the default mode. The HSIM-W85 forwards data packets received by the host platform out through the logical DS1 interfaces. It also forwards packets received in the DS1 interfaces to or through the host. The default and only layer 2 WAN protocol used with the HSIM-W85 is raw HDLC.

NOTE

HSIM-W85 User’s Guide 1-3

The host platform may operate in 802.1D bridging, 802.1Q VLAN, or SecureFast mode.

Chapter 1:

Introduction

The second mode of operation is using Cabletron Systems Inverse Multiplexer (IMUX) functionality to aggregate multiple DS1 connections into single higher bandwidth WAN connections. To operate in this mode, the user conﬁgures the appropriate IMUX groups containing the DS1 connections.

Along with the built-in management features (Network Tools) described in Chapter 4, the HSIM-W85 can be managed using SNMP. Statistical data can be accessed via SNMP by referencing the interface group deﬁned in RFC 1213.

1.4 DATA FLOW IN THE HSIM-W85

The T1 data streams are terminated by T1 framers, which provide an HDLC bit stream to the HDLC controller. The controller receives data packets from each of the bit streams and places them in a memory subsystem. The on board CPU examines the packet and notiﬁes the host of its arrival. Finally, a Cabletron proprietary ASIC transfers the data to the host platform.

This process is followed in reverse when a packet is transmitted from the host platform out the T1 ports. The host platform notiﬁes the HSIM-W85 when a packet is coming and transfers the packet to the memory. The HDLC format is applied to the data, then the data is framed to a T1 format, and passed to the framer. The T1 data is transmitted out through the T1 interface.

1.5 FEATURES

The following are some of the highlights of the HSIM-W85 features:

•

Data Transfer Rates of 12 Mbps in full duplex, when running all eight T1s carrying continuous data trafﬁc of 64-byte packets or larger.

•

High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol

•

T1 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX)

•

WAN IP Priority Queuing functionality

•

DS1 Alarm Thresholds

•

SNMP support

1.5.1 Connectivity

The HSIM-W85 module supports WAN technology using eight live full duplex T1 connections.

The primary function of the HSIM-W85 is to provide LAN-to-WAN access. WAN physical connectivity will be supported through the use of a T1 interface. LAN-to-WAN connectivity will be supported through HDLC and T1 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX).

The HSIM-W85 interoperates with those Cabletron Systems WAN products that support raw HDLC as the WAN protocol. This support is limited to the CyberSWITCH product line which supports HDLC:

•

CSX400 – Version 02.00.15 or higher

•

HSIM-W6 – Version 02.00.15 or higher

•

HSIM-W84 – Version 02.00.xx or higher

•

HSIM-W87 – SSR 2200 Version 04.05.06 or higher

1.5.2 HDLC

The High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol is used in conjunction with the Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature to conserve a user’s WAN bandwidth between two Cabletron Systems products, over a point-to-point connection. Cabletron Systems products such as the HSIM-W6, HSIM-W84, HSIM-W85, HSIM-W87, and CSX400 must be in use on both ends of the WAN link for these functions to work. The HDLC (RAW) protocol reduces the amount of overhead information that needs to be contained within each data packet to direct it to its destination. This decreased packet overhead provides the IMUX functions with more bandwidth to transfer user data.

HSIM-W85 User’s Guide 1-5

Chapter 1:

Introduction

1.5.3 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX)

Cabletron Systems Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature provides enhanced throughput for users by following this process:

•

The IMUX function evenly distributes a data packet stream from the LAN interface through multiple full T1 WAN interfaces on the HSIM-W85.

•

Data packet streams received by the WAN interfaces on the other end of the WAN links are then recombined, ordered, and transmitted to the LAN interface.

The IMUX function is conﬁgured using the Network Tools command, imux, described in Chapter 4.

NOTE

Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX), such as the HSIM-W6, CSX400, HSIM-W84, HSIM-W85, and HSIM-W87, must exist on both ends of the WAN link for the IMUX function to work. All bridging and switching functions, such as 802.1D, SecureFast VLAN, and

802.1Q are able to run as normal on the host platform when using the IMUX function on the HSIM-W85.

1.5.4 Priority Queuing

WAN IP Priority Queuing is used to prioritize IP packets from a speciﬁed IP address. This prioritizing ensures that certain packets get through the network, such as management packets which are necessary to the operation of the network. It also ensures that routers that depend on protocols with tight timing, such as RIP, do not time out. The prioritized packets do not eliminate other trafﬁc on the network, but are held in a special queue, so that they are not discarded during oversubscribed traf ﬁc peaks. Priority Queuing can be enabled in management, using Network Tools. Refer to the wanpq command in the

Management

chapter.

Features

1.5.5 DS1 Alarm

The DS1 Error Threshold Alarm Monitor allows the user to set error thresholds. The monitor notiﬁes the user of potential DS1 problems with SNMP trap events.

The ds1alarm Monitor feature can be enabled in management, using Network Tools. Refer to the ds1alarm command in the chapter.

Management

1.5.6 SNMP and MIB Support

With SNMP support, the MIBs supported by the HSIM-W85 include:

•

MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes Local Management and the Network Tools utility. Local Management allows access to statistics screens that apply to the HSIM-W85 through the host platform. Network Tools allows access to a command set from which you can conﬁgure and manage the HSIM-W85. This chapter provides the following information:

• Overview of Local Management, Section 4.1

• Network Tools used with the HSIM-W85, Section 4.2

• Sample IMUX conﬁguration, Section 4.3

4.1 LOCAL MANAGEMENT

NOTE

Access to Local Management screens and Network Tools is obtained by using Local Management on the host platform. Refer to the host platform user’s guide to establish a Local Management connection, and for information on the screens.

Make sure that the following requirements have been met before accessing the HSIM-W85 through Local Management:

• The HSIM-W85 is properly installed in the host platform.

• A management terminal is properly conﬁgured and connected, either

locally or using Telnet, to the host platform in which the HSIM-W85 resides. Refer to the host platform document for further information.

In order to view the HSIM-W85 statistics screens, you must navigate through a series of Local Management screens via the host platform.

Figure 4-1 shows a typical hierarchy of screens that you would navigate

through in order to reach the HSIM-W85 screens. The lines shown in boldface indicate a typical path used to access the HSIM-W85 conﬁguration and statistics screens.

Important Notice

The HSIM-W85 statistics that are accessed using the Switch and Interface Statistics screens are not explained in this manual. Refer to the applicable host platform manual for details . “T1 Interf ace” will be displa yed as the name of the eight HSIM-W85 T1 interfaces in the statistics screens. The HSIM-W85 Interface port will display as “WAN HSIM-W85 Interface” in the statistics screen.

4.2 NETW ORK TOOLS

The Network Tools utility allows management of objects in the HSIM-W85 Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and conﬁguring the HSIM-W85. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow the user to view and modify a device’s objects.

The host platform software contains either the Network Tools utility, or the MIB Navigator utility. They are essentially the same tool, with some minor differences depending on the platform. They will both be referred to as Network Tools in this document, and there is no difference in their use for the purpose of this document. Using Network Tools may be a more convenient method for a user to conﬁgure the HSIM-W85 than using the MIBs in some circumstances. Full functionality is still available by using the MIBs. The host platform has a set of functions for Network Tools that are used on that platform. The following additions to the Network Tools utility from the WAN perspective are speciﬁc to the HSIM-W85, and can only be used when an HSIM-W85 is installed in the platform.

• imux – support for conﬁguration and monitoring of the Inverse

Multiplexer (ctwan-multi-imux-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.00)

• ds1alarm – support for ds1 alarm monitoring (ctremote-mib.txt,

Revision 1.00.02, Ds1Alarms branch)

• wanpq – support for Wan IP Priority Queuing (ctremote-mib.txt,

Revision 1.00.02, ctIPPQFilters branch)

• dsx1 – support for RFC 1406 statistics and conﬁguration

• ds1ext – support for extensions to RFC 1406 (ctremote-mib.txt,

Revision 1.00.03 CtDS1Ext branch)

HSIM-W85 User’s Guide 5-1

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

• Check with the WAN Service Provider to ensure that the circuit has

been conﬁgured by them and is active.

NOTE

Status (S) LED is OFF

It may be necessary to provide proof of proper conﬁguration of your WAN connection. Service Providers typically require proof that the customer’s equipment is conﬁgured correctly before checking their own conﬁguration.

The port is operating normally. If it is not, and this LED is OFF, the port may be disabled. Use management to make sure that the WAN interface on the HSIM-W85 is conﬁgured correctly.

Status (S) LED is RED

A RED alarm indicates that the WAN connection is not receiving proper framing or has lost framing from the remote device.

• Verify the framing, zero suppression.

• Verify the use of proper cabling on the WAN connection.

Status (S) LED is AMBER

The device is in Yellow alarm mode. A Yellow alarm indicates that the HSIM-W85 is receiving proper framing from the Telco, but the Telco is not receiving proper framing.

• Check for faulty or incorrect cabling between the Telco and the

HSIM-W85.

• Request that the Telco verify the conﬁguration and operation of the

circuit.

Status (S) LED is GREEN (blinking)

Device is in test mode.

• The HSIM-W85 is running its Power-up Diagnostic Tests.

• Loopback Testing is underway on a WAN circuit. Loopback testing

can be initiated by the Telco.

Troubleshooting the HSIM-W85

5.1.2 Investigating Software Conﬁguration Problems

Software problems usually occur when your software conﬁguration contains incomplete or incorrect information.

Device not forwarding packets

• Ensure that the proper DS1 transmit clock source is conﬁgured using

the dsx1 command in Network Tools.

NOTE

When connecting two ds1 devices, one must be tx cloc k master (local timing) and the other must be slave (loop timing).

• Check the DS1 line type. The default is ESF but some de vices may be

conﬁgured for D4. Ensure that the local and remote DS1 devices are conﬁgured with the same line (Framing) type.

• Ensure that the DS1 loopback is not conﬁgured (default is none) using

the dsx1 command.

5.1.3 Problems with the Firmware Image

The ﬁrmware image for the HSIM-W85 is supported on the host platform. If there is a problem with the ﬁrmware image for the HSIM-W85, the image for the platform must be downloaded. Refer to the host platform user’s guide for information on this procedure.
