Management Access

The FastSwitch 24 provides management access interfaces for local and remote configuration, management and monitoring the device at its Serial port, Ethernet Service por ts and Ethernet Line ports. Serial port and Ethernet Service ports provide out-of-band interfaces (CLMI and CLI) dedicated to switch management. Ethernet Line ports provide in-band interfaces (CLI, WEB and SNMP) for the user's network and for switch management. Each interface is described below.

Console Menu Line Interface

The Console Menu Line Inter face (CMLI) provides a menu -or ie nted interface for c onf igu ri ng a nd monitoring the FS-24 switch. Users can access this interface only at the serial port.

Console Line Interface

Console Line Interface (CLI) commands allow the user to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol, VLAN, MAC Filter, Port Security, 802.1x, and other functi ons of the FS-24. Users ca n also monitor traps, perform service port configuration, etc. CLI commands are executed at the serial port interface or via a Telnet session.

Web Browser Interface

The FS-24 can be configur ed and managed via a gra phical interface using a web browser . Real time events suc h as alarms an d statistics can also be m onitored using the web interface.

Simple Network Management Protocol

The FS-24 switch provides an embedded SNMP agent for management access via an external SNMP manager, such as HP OpenView. The FS-2 4 forwards SNMP statistics and traps so that an SNMP manager can receive RMON statistics and port alarm traps sent from the switch.

FastSwitch Applications

Figure 1-2 shows FastSwitch 24 devices at the Corporate Office providing up to 24 auto-sensing

10/100 copper ports for flexible desktop and workgroup connectivity. One gigabit per second uplink provides fast et hernet connectivit y to the supporting ser ver. In addition, a second gigabit link extends the ethernet switch density to 48 ports. Forwarding rates up to 9.6 million packets per second, non-blockin g archi tect ure and resi lienc y fe ature s such as Fast Spannin g Tree Pr otoco l and link aggregation are supported on all ports.

When the Innovx FastSwitc h 24 is deployed with companion Innovx access produc ts, an enterpr ise network can be extended to cost-effectively reach branch offices. The Innovx FastRoute device establishes a secure and reliable LAN extension between floors or between buildings, eliminating expensive routers. The Innovx FastSwitch 9- or 18-Port devices provide scalable ethernet connectivity to the LAN-attached equipment at remote sites.

Naming Ports

Ports on the In novx FastSwitch 24 can be phys ical “fixed” Ethern et por ts ( FEP) , a single port on a user-installed uplink feature card, or a logical trunk in the FS-24 switch. Each port is referred to using the following naming convention:

<slot-number>.<port-number>

where:

Note

<slot-number>

represents the port type and

represents the number of the

physical port within the selected port type.

• Slot 0 denotes the fixed 24 x 10/100 fixed Ethernet ports (FEP).

• Slot 1 represents an uplink port on a user-installed feature card.

• Slot 2 is rep resents the logical trunk port.

<port-number>

is the number assigned to the port. The range and assignment of port numbers

varies by the slo t type. The ass ignment of port numb ers by sl ot number is shown in th e table b elow:

Trunking

The FS-24 supports both s tatic an d dynamic tr unking usi ng the Link Aggregatio n Control Pr otocol (LACP). LACP provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its trans mission and r eception func tions in a n orderly ma nner. Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network by combining two or more lower speed ports.

Note

LACP operation requires full-duplex mode. For more detailed information, refer to IEEE 802.3ad

Aggregator Settings

The Aggregator Setting tab at the Trunking web page, shown below, is used to create a link aggregation across two or more ports.

To create a link aggregation group with two or more ports, the following parameters are used:

System Priority

A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lo west value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.

Group ID

There are seven trunk groups to provided configure. Choose the "group id" and click "Get".

LACP

If enabled, the group is LACP static trunking group. If disabled, the group is local static trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically.

A maximum of four ports can be aggrega ted at t he same ti me. If the number of por ts conf igure d to be part of a LACP st atic tr unking gr oup exceed s the maxi mum number, th e excess ports a re moved to to standby stat e and woul d be a ble to join the trunking gro up, i f any of the working ports in t h e group fails. If local static trunking group is used then the number of group member ports must be as same as the work ports.

1. Select the ports to join the trunking group by selecting the ports from the ports list. A maximum of four ports can be aggregated at the same time.

2. If LACP is enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each port on State Activity page.

3. To complete the LACP configuration, click the

State Activity

The State Activity tab on the Trunking web page displays the state of each LACP, and indicates whether that port is in an active or passive state. A typical State Activity window is shown below.

Active (select)

In this state the switch automatically sends LACP protocol packets through this port.

Passive (no select)

In this state the switch does not automatically send LACP protocol packets through this port, and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the peer device.

A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can per form dynamic LACP trunking. Switches attached to a link that has two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic LACP trunking because both switches are waiting for LACP protocol packet from its peer. If you are an active LACP actor, when you select trunking port, the active status will be created automatically.

Forwarding and Filtering

The FastSwitch 24 supports IP multicast. The Forwarding and Filtering web page allows the user to enable/disable IGMP Snooping, Static MAC Addresses and MAC Filtering.

IGMP Snooping

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. Multic ast traffic is propag ated through the networ k using switches, rout ers, and hosts that support IGMP and other multicast protocols.

The IGMP Snooping tab of the Forwarding and Filtering web page enables/disables IGMP snooping. When enabled, ports will detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP has three types of messages, described below.

Query

This message is sent f rom the querie r (IGMP router or swi tch) asking for a respons e from each host belonging to the multicast group.

Report

This a message is sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report message.

Leave Group

This message sent is by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to be a member of a specific multicast group.

Static MAC Address

The Static Address tab of the Forwarding and Filtering web page allows a static MAC address to remain in the switch's add ress table, reg ardless of whethe r the device is phys ically conn ected to the switch. This saves the swit ch from having to re-lea rn a device's MAC address when a disconnected or powered-off device be comes active on the network again. A ty pical Static MAC Address window is shown below.

To add a Static MAC Address, perform the following procedure:

1. From the main menu, click Administrator->Filter Database->Static MAC Address.

2. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device network activity.

3. In the Port Number box, enter a port number.

4. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, VLAN IDs are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.

5. Click the Add button

MAC Address Filtering

MAC address filtering allows the switch to drop unwanted tra ffic. Traffic is filtered based on the destination address es. For e xample, if net work is conge sted b ecause of h eavy burst s of traffi c from one particular MAC addr ess, using this page, user can filter all traffic transmitted from or to that MAC address. This type of filtering would enable the network administrator to restore network traffic flow while troubleshooting the problem.

To add MAC filtering, perform the following procedure:

1. In the MAC Address box, enter the MAC address that needs to be filtered.

2. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, in the VLAN ID box, type the VID to

associate with the MAC address.

3. Click the Add button.

4. If a MAC address filter has to be deleted, enter the MAC address to be deleted and then click

VLAN Configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows the user to isolate network traffic so that members of a VLAN receive traffic, only from the members of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN is logically equivalent of connecting a group of network d evice s to a separ ate Layer 2 switc h even though all th e netwo rk devi ces are st ill plugged into the same switch physically. The FS-24 supports port-based, 802.1Q (tagged-based) and protocol-based VLAN. In the default configuration, VLAN support is disabled.

Note

If VLAN mode is changed, you have to reboot the switch to put the change in effect.

Port-based VLAN

In Port-based VLAN, packets c an be exc hanged onl y between devic es atta ched to t he ports that a re members of the same VLAN group. I f port- based VLAN i s enable d, the VLAN-tagg ing is ignored.

Tag-based VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q standard. It is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders using this standard. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN inserts a "tag" into the Ethernet fr ames, which contains the VLAN identifier (VID).

Protocol-based VLAN

In order for an end station to s end packets to different VLANs, i t has to be ei ther capable of tagging packets wi th VLAN ID or get attached to a VLAN- aware bridge/switch that is capable of classifying and tagging the packets with different VLAN ID based on not only default Port-based VLAN ID (PVID) but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

The FastSwitch 24 supports protocol-based VLAN classification and tagging based on layer 2 packet formats used by selec ted popul ar prot ocols, such as Novel l IPX and AppleTa lk's Et herTal k.

Port VID and Ingress Filtering

Port VID (PVID): Port VLAN ID (PVID) defines the VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged frames received from a given port. For example, if port 10's PVID is 100, all untagged packets received on port 10 will belong to VLAN 100. The default PVID setting for all ports is VID 1.

This feature is useful for accommodating devices that user wants to participate in the VLAN but that don't support taggi ng. Only one unt agged VLAN is allowed per port. In oth er words, ther e can be only one PVID per port.

Ingress Filterin g: Ingress f iltering feature is used to fil ter tagged frame s received throu gh a port with VLAN ID that doesn't match any of the VLANs in which the port participates in. Disabling this setting will cause all frames to be forwarded, regardless of the port's VLAN setting.

GVRP

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the s witch i s conne cted t o a dev ice wit h GVRP enabl ed, the de vice c an send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch, and it will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.

Logging In to the Switch

1. When the connection is made to the FS-24, a login screen will prompts for a username and

password. A successful login will display the CLI prompt FS-24. (If you are at the Console Menu, you can switch the the CLI interface by selecting the Command Line Interface option. This displays the CLI prompt.)

A user ID and password are required for all users trying to access and manage the switch. Read Write (admin) access is used to run config, show, reset, save, clear, commands to configure,

maintain and troubleshoot the switch. The login account name (admin) with password (l2sw) is pre-configured and can not be deleted, but the pa ssword can be changed us ing following commands :

LS2W> config user password <name> <passwd>

LS2W> config user password admin gdc

To bring back default password settings for admin account use "clear config" command.

Note

The FS-24 supports only one login account with full access rights.

Network Port Access Setup

If one of the network ports is used for in-band management, use the following command to configure that port:

• If DHCP is used, type the following commands:

LS2W> config network protocol <none/dhcp>

LS2W> config network protocol dhcp

• If static IP address is used, type the following commands:

LS2W> config network protocol <none/dhcp>

LS2W> config network protocol none

LS2W> config network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]

LS2W> config network parms a.b.c.d e.f.g.h k.l.m.n

where, a.b.c.d - IP addre ss assigned for i n-band management , e.f.g.h - network mask to be assign ed for in-band management; k.l.m.n - IP address of the default gateway.

The default protocol is none. Afte r changing pr otocol type fr om none to DHCP, the s witch needs t o be rebooted using "L2SW> reset switch" command.

Telnet Access Setup

A telnet session to the L2S W switch can b e initiated by starting any telnet client s oftware on the management station (for e.g., from a PC running any Windows Operating System, type telnet a.b.c.d where, a.b.c.d is the IP address of the L2SW switch).

Once a telnet connection is established, the switch will prompt the user to enter user ID and password. After entering a valid user id and password, CLI prompt will be displayed.

• Maximum number of sessions - Up to five simultaneous telnet sessions can be created.

• Inactivity Timeout - Telnet session will be terminated after the 5 minutes of inactivity.

VLAN

Figure 5-4

MAC Filter Entries

A VLAN is an arbitr ary group ing of no des on t he network. This gro uping p romotes eff icient use of network resources a nd facilitat es productive entry of rep etitive network transactions. Conceptually, a VLAN allows the network administrator to structure, separate, or partition the network. For example, these structures in existing LANs are subnets in IP networks or broadcast domains in bridged networks. When multiple LAN segments are bridged together, the bridged segments still "see" all broadcast and multicast traffic on each LAN that is phy sically connected to t he bridges and shared media hubs. The numbe r of stations or LAN segments that c an be bridged without creati ng excessive broadcast traffic on the LAN segments is limited. To avoid excessive broadcast traffic, networks must be divided into subnets and typically subnets are constrained by the physical LAN structure. VLANs are used to overcome some of these constraints involved in configuring the network.

The FS-24 supports the following three types of VLANs:

• Port base VLAN

• Tag based VLAN

• Protocol based VLAN

The following commands can be used to display the configuration of VLAN type, add or delete a port attached to a VLAN.

Console Line Interface VLAN

1. To configure the VLAN mode on the switch, use following command:

L2SW> Config vlan mode <none/port/dot1q>

L2SW> config vlan mode port

• None - To disable VLAN on the switch

• Port - Enable port-bas ed VLAN mode, tag -based VLAN is e xcluded. All packets wil l be associated with default port VID before forwarding, and no tag modification (insert, modify or remove) will take place when the packet is transmitted out of this port. Only Shared VLAN (SVL) is supported in this mode.

• Dot1q - Enable both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. A default VLAN with VLAN ID 1 is created and assigned to all ports, once the mode is set to dot1q.

2. To create a VLAN, use the following commands. The valid range is from 2- 4094. A alphanumeric name can be assigned to the created VLAN. The maximum length of the alphanumeric string is 16 characters.

L2SW> config vlan create <vlanid> <name>

L2SW> config vlan create 10 Yellow

3. To add or delete a port to a new VLAN, use the following command. This command can be used for both port-based VLAN and Protocol based VLAN.

L2SW> config vlan addport <vlanid> <slot.port>

L2SW> config vlan addport 10 0.1

L2SW> config vlan delport <vlanid> <slot.port>

L2SW> config vlan delport 10 0.1

4. To remove VLAN, use the following command:

L2SW> config vlan delete <vlanid>

L2SW> config vlan delete 10

5. To configure protocol based VLAN, use following command:

L2SW> config vlan protocol <vlanid> <protocoltype>

3. Enable tagging and add tagged member ports to it.

L2SW> config vlan port tagging <enable/disable> <vlanid> <slot.port>

L2SW> config vlan port tagging enable 10 0.1

Note

If the trunk grou ps exist and if trunks p orts have to be configur ed as part o f a VLAN, then add trunk id instead of port number.

Port VID & Ingress filtering

1. Set the port VLAN ID, assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. This feature is useful for

accommodating devices that user w ant s t o participate in VLAN but that don't support tagging. L2SW each port allo ws us er to set one PVID, the range is 1-4094 defaul t PVID is 1. The PVID must be same as VLAN ID, that the port belongs to VLAN group, or the untagged traffic will be dropped. The following command is for PVID configuration:

L2SW> config vlan port pvid <1-4094> <slot.port/all>

L2SW> config vlan port pvid 10 0.1

2. Ingress filtering feature allows only those frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be

forwarded, if the port belongs to that VLAN. Disabling these settings will cause all frames to be forwarded, regardless of the port's VLAN settings. The following command is for Ingress settings on the port.

L2SW> config vlan port ingressfilter <enable/disable> <slot.port/ all>

L2SW> config vlan port ingressfilter enable 0.1

• Enable - To enables ingress filtering on the specified port.

• Disable - To disables ingress filtering on the specified port.

• Slot.port - Physical port or trunk port, or all.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks. STP i s a bridge-bas ed mechanism fo r providi ng fault to leran ce on networks by determining alternate paths for bridged traffic when a failure is encountered. STP enables user to implement parallel paths for network traffic and ensure the following:

• Redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational.

• Redundant paths are enabled if the main traffic paths fail.

STP can be enabled, by configuring the System and Per Port Configuration as displayed in the following commands.

1. To enable or disable administrative mode for switch use following command:

L2SW> config spanningtree switch adminmode <enable/disable>

L2SW> config spanningtree switch adminmode enable

2. To configure STP hello time for switch. The valid range is from 1 to 10 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds.

L2SW> config spanningtree switch hellotime <interval>

L2SW> config spanningtree switch hellotime 3

3. To configure the interval between messages that the spanning tree receives from the root switch. If a switch does not receive a BPDU message from the root switch within this interval, it re-computes the spanning tree topology. The range for bridges maximum age is 6 to 40 seconds. The default value is 20 seconds.

L2SW> config spanningtree switch maxage <interval>

L2SW> config spanningtree switch maxage 10

range of the forwarding delay is 4 to 30 seconds and the default value is 15 seconds.

L2SW> config spanningtree switch forwarddelay <interval>

L2SW> config spanningtree switch forwarddelay 10

5. To configure the STP bridge prior ity, use following command. The allowed range for the STP

priority is 1 to 65535 and the default value is 32768.Higher numerical value means a lower priority.

L2SW>config spanningtree switch priority <priority>

L2SW> config spanningtree switch priority 10

6. To configure the STP port priority, use following command. The value of the STP priority

makes the port more or less likely to beco me the root port. The allowed range of STP priority is 0 to 255 and the default value is 128. A higher numerical values means a lower priority

L2SW> config spanningtree port priority <slot.port/all> <priority>

L2SW> config spanningtree port priority 0.1 10

7. To Configure the STP path cost, use following commands. Path cost represents the shortest

distance from any switch to the root switch. The valid range is 1 to 65535.The default value assigned to the port depen ds upon the ne gotiated/co nfigur ed speed of the por t. The defaul t STP path costs are 10 for FE ports and 4 for GE ports.

L2SW> config spanningtree port pathcost <slot.port/all> <cost>

L2SW> config spanningtree port pathcost 0.1 8

8. To display STP settings at switch and at port level, use the following commands.
