1.1.2 Link Types of Ethernet Ports

An Ethernet port on an S3600 switch can operate in one of the three link types:

z Access: An access port can belong to only one VLAN, and is generally used to

connect user PCs.

z Trunk: A trunk port can belong to more than one VLAN. It can receive/send

packets from/to multiple VLANs, and is generally used to connect another switch.

z Hybrid: A hybrid port can belong to more than one VLAN. It can receive/send

packets from/to multiple VLANs, and can be used to connect either a switch or user PCs.

48 10/100 Mbps (electrical)

4 (SFP) 1

 Note:

A hybrid port allows the packets of multiple VLANs to be sent without tags, but a trunk port only allows the packets of the default VLAN to be sent without tags.

You can configure all the three types of ports on the same device. However, note that you cannot directly switch a port between trunk and hybrid and you must set the port as access before the switching. For example, to change a trunk port to hybrid, you must first set it as access and then hybrid.

1.1.3 Configuring the Default VLAN ID for an Ethernet Port

An access port can belong to only one VLAN. Therefore, the VLAN an access port belongs to is also the default VLAN of the access port. A hybrid/trun k port can belong to several VLANs, and so a default VLAN ID for the port is required.

After you configure default VLAN IDs for Ethernet ports, the packets passing through the ports are processed in different ways depending on different situations. See 1-2 for details.

z If the VLAN ID is

neither the default VLAN ID, nor one of the VLAN IDs allowed to pass through the port, discard the packet.

Processing of an outgoing

packet

Deprive the tag from the packet and send the packet.

z If the VLAN ID is just the

default VLAN ID, deprive the tag and send the packet.

z If the VLAN ID is not the

default VLAN ID, keep the original tag unchanged and send the packet.

Send the packet if the VLAN ID is allowed to pass through the port. Use the port hybrid vlan command to configure whether the port tags the packet when sending a packet in this VLAN (including default VLAN).

Caution:

You are recommended to set the default VLAN ID of the local hybrid or trunk ports to the same value as that of the hybrid or trunk ports on the peer switch. Otherwise, packet forwarding may fail on the ports.

1.1.4 Adding an Ethernet Port to Specified VLANs

You can add the specified Ethernet port to a specified VLAN. After that, the Ethernet port can forward the packets of the specified VLAN, so that the VLAN on thi s switch can intercommunicate with the same VLAN on the peer switch.

An access port can only be added to one VLAN, while hybrid and trunk ports can be added to multiple VLANs.

1.2.2 Limiting Traffic on individual Ports

By performing the following configurations, you can limit different types of incoming traffic on individual ports. When a type of inco ming traffic exceed s the threshold you set, the system drops the packets exceeding the traf fic limit to reduce the traf fic ratio of this type to the reasonable range, so as to keep normal network service.

1.2.3 Enabling Flow Control on a Port

Flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. If congestion occurs on the local switch:

z The local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending

packets to itself or reducing the sending rate temporarily.

z The peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending

rate temporarily when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is avoided and the network service operates normally.

z If you specify a destination aggregation group ID, the configuration of the source

port will be copied to all ports in the aggregation group and all ports in the group will have the same configuration as that of the source port.

1.2.8 Configuring Loopback Detection for an Ethernet Port

Loopback detection is used to monitor if loopback occurs on a switch port.

1-8

Page 10

Operation Manual – Port Basic Configuration H3C S3600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 1 Port Basic Configuration

After you enable loopback detection on Ethernet ports, the switch can monitor if external loopback occurs on them. If there is a loopback port found, the switch will put it under control.

z If loopback is found on an access port, the system disables the port, sends a Trap

message to the client and removes the corresponding MAC forwarding entry.

z If loopback is found on a trunk or hybrid port, the system sends a Trap me ssage to

the client. When the loopback port control function is enabled on these ports, the system disables the port, sends a Trap message to the client and removes the corresponding MAC forwarding entry.

Caution:

z To enable loopback detection on a specific port, you must use the

loopback-detection enable command in both system view and the specific port view.

z After you use the undo loopback-detection enable command in system view,

loopback detection will be disabled on all ports.

1.2.9 Configuring the Ethernet Port to Run Loopback Test

Y ou can configure the Ethernet port to run loopba ck test to check if it operates normally . The port running loopback test cannot forward data packets normally. The loopback test terminates automatically after a specific period.

 Note:

z external: Performs external loop test. In the external loop test, self-loop headers

must be used on the port of the switch ( for 100M port, the self-loop headers are made from four cores of the 8-core cables, for 1000M port, the self-loop header are made from eight cores of the 8-core cables, then the packets forwarded by the port will be received by itself.). The external loop test can locate the hardware failures on the port.

z internal: Performs internal loop test. In the internal loop test, self loop is established

in the switching chip to locate the chip failure which is related to the port.

After you use the shutdown command on a port, the port cannot run loopba ck test. Y ou cannot use the speed, duplex, mdi and shutdown commands on the ports running loopback test. Some ports do not support loopback test, and corresponding prompts will be given when you perform loopback test on them.

By performing the following configuration, you can set the interval to perform statistical analysis on the traffic of a port.

When you use the display interface interface-type interface-number command to display the information of a port, the system performs statistical analysis on the traffic flow passing through the port during the specified interval and displays the average rates in the interval. For example, if you set this interval to 100 seconds, the displayed information is as follows:

Last 100 seconds input: 0 packets/sec 0 bytes/sec Last 100 seconds output: 0 packets/sec 0 bytes/sec
