Express 530T Switch

Overview

This guide provides information on configuring and managing the Intel
Express 530T Switch and is organized into these chapters:

• Chapter 1 - Information on the switch hardware and optional
modules

• Chapter 2 - Information on using the switch in a LAN and advanced
features such as link aggregation and Virtual LANs (VLANs)

• Chapter 3 - How to use Intel Device View

• Chapter 4 - How to use Web Device Manager

• Chapter 5 - Overview of Local Management

Management

Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device
and monitor network health. There are several methods for managing this
switch; you can use one method or any combination.

®

• SNMP management applications such as Intel
LANDesk
Intel products and show a graphical representation of the device
(with the use of the proper MIB).

• Onboard management allows control ov er the de vice without
using an SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a
graphical interface; Local Management is a menu-driven interface.

• Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage 530T switches
if you compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.

About the 530T Switch

General

• The 530T switch is capable of auto-negotiating port speed and can
operate at 10Mbps or 100Mbps per port. The switch matches t he
highest possible speed of an attached device.

• The 530T switch is capable of auto-negotiating port duplex and can
operate at half- or full-duplex.

Cabling

• Use Category 5 or greater unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP)
cable when connecting 100Mbps devices to the switch.

• Use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 3, 4, or 5
UTP) cable when connecting 10Mbps devices to the switch.

• Limit the cable length between devices to 100 meters (328 feet).

• Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a server or
workstation. For more information on cabling, see pages 7 and 8.

Modules

The 530T switch accepts a Stack Matrix Module to connect with up to
three member switches and an uplink module (Module A) to provide an
additional two Gigabit ports.

Configuring Modules

Normally you do not need to make any changes to the optional modules
because they are designed to configure them selves automatically for the
attached device. However, you might need to configure the modules in
order to communicate with older devices. You can use the Local
Management or Web Device Manager to configure the 1000SX,
1000LX, or 1000T modules.

C H A P T E R 1 Seting up the Intel® Express 530T Switch

NOTE

100 meters = 328 feet
200 meters = 656 feet
500 meters = 1640 feet
2 km = 2000 meters = 6560 feet
5 km = 5000 meters = 16400 feet

Media Requirements

Incorrect cabling is often the cause of network performance problems.
Read the next two pages to make sure your cabling is correct.

10Base-T

The 10Base-T Ethernet specification allows you to use CAT 3, CAT 4,
or CAT 5 UTP cabling. The limit is 100 meters between any two devices.

100Base-TX

The 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet specification requires that you use CAT
5 UTP cabling to operate at 100Mbps. If you use lower grade cabling
(CAT 3 or CAT 4) you may get a connection, but also experience data
loss or slow performance. You ’re limited to 100 meters between any two
devices.

1000Base-T

The 1000Base-T Gigabit specification requires that y ou use CAT 5 UTP
cabling to operate at 1000Mbps. If you use a lower grade cabling you will
experience either no connection or extreme data loss. The maximum
distance between any two devices is 100 meters.

1000Base-SX/1000Base-LX

Express 530T Setup

The optional 1000Base-SX and -LX Gigabit Modules provide a high­speed connection to another device up to 5 km away. The maximum
distance depends on the type of cable used. Refer to the following table
for a list of cable types and maximum distances. Use cables with an SC­type fiber optic connector.

Straight-through vs. Crossover
Cable

Switch ports are wired MDI-X, so use a straight-through cable to connect
to a workstation or server (network adapter cards are wired MDI). To
connect to another MDI-X port, use a crossover cable. Here are the pin
arrangements for the switch’s Ethernet port and the typical RJ-45
connector.

About a stack

• There can be only one 530T switch in a stack.

• The 530T switch requires the installation of a Stack Matrix Module
to stack it with a 535T . (Only one Stack Matrix Module is needed for
the entire stack.)

• The 530T can be stacked only with 535T switches.

• You can stack up to three 535T switches with a 530T.

• In a stack, the 530T is the control switch and the 535Ts are the
member switches.

• The member switches are all managed through the control switch’s
management interface.

• There is only one IP address for the entire stack of switches (the
control switch’s IP address).

• There can be only one instance of Spanning Tree, regardless of the
number of switches in the stack.

• Ports from any switch can be members of any VLAN.

• For link aggregation, the anchor ports are 1, 7, 15 for both the
control and member switches. You can also link aggregate the
module ports on the control switch (530T).

• You can only link aggregate ports on the same switch.

NOTE

When setting up a stack, stack
the 535T switches in the order in
which they are connected to the
Matrix Module.

The 535T connected to the
Switch 1 port of the Matrix
Module would be the switch
directly under the control switch,
the 535T connected to the Switch
2 port would be underneath that,
etc.

This makes it easier to determine
which switch is which when
managing them.

Assemble a stack

To stack a 530T with 535Ts, you need to purchase a Stack Matrix
Module.

1 Insert the Stack Matrix Module into the slot in the back of the 530T,

labeled Matrix Module, and tighten the screws.

In a stack of switches, the 530T is the control switch and the 535Ts are
member switches.

The switch that you connect to the port labeled Switch 1 in the 530T’s
Stack Matrix Module is referred to in the Web Device Manager and
Local Management as Member 2. The switch connected to the port
labeled Switch 2, is Member 3. And the switch connected to the port
labeled Switch 3, is Member 4.

Overview

This section provides an overview for using the Intel® Express 530T
Switch within a network. The chapter covers the basic differences
between a switch and hub, basic switching features, such as flow control
and Spanning Tree, and a discuss ion of the more advan ced features such
as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch.

What is a Switch?

A switch segments traffic, providing each port its own collision domain.
This is different than a hub where all ports belong to the same collision
domain.

Segments and hubs

Hubs combine multiple wires so all attached devices behave as though
they are on the same wire. Since the devices share the same segment, data
sent by one device is retransmitted to all devices on the same hub. This
is equivalent to having all devices connected in a bus topology as
illustrated below.

Client A sends

signal to Client B

Signal sent to all ports

Client B

receives signal

The disadvantage is all devices must share the total available bandwidth.
The more devices that are attached to the hub results in less bandwidth
for each user. Also, network performance suffers since all devices
receive traffic and collisions from other users because the hub
retransmits data across all ports.

Switches

Switches send traffic only to specific ports, rather than transmit data
across all ports. This means that each device attached to the switch
receives fewer collisions and the entire bandwidth is available to the
device.

The switch maintains a table that associates a device’s MAC address to
a port on the switch. When Client A communicates with Client B, the
switch looks in the table to determine which port Client B is attached to
and then forwards the traffic to that port. If a device sends traffic to an
address that is not in the table (or sends broadcast or multicast traffic) the
switch sends the traffic out to all ports on the switch. When the switch
receives a response it updates the table with the new address.

Flow Control

During times of heavy network activity, the switch’s port buffers can
receive too much traffic and fill up faster than the switch can send the
information. In cases like this, the switch tells the transmitting device to
wait so the information in the buffer can be sent. This traffic control
mechanism is called flow control.

The method of flow control depends on whether the port is set to full- or
half-duplex. If a port is operating at half-duplex, the switch sends a
collision (also called backpressure) which causes the transmitting device
to wait. If the port operates at full-duplex, the switch sends out an IEEE

802.3x PAUSE frame. You can enable or disable flow control for each
port on the Express 530T switch.

Spanning Tree Protocol

Spanning Tree helps to prevent any loops within the network topology.
A loop can occur if there is more than one path for information to travel
between devices. The Spanning Tree Protocol works by determining the
“cost” of a connection. For example, if two devices are connected b y two
links, Spanning Tree uses the conn ection with the lowest cost and b locks
the second connection from working.

Spanning Tree prevents loops by allowing only one active path between
any two network devices at a time. However, you can also use this
behavior to establish redundant links between devices which can take
over in the event the primary link fails.

The 530T supports one instance of Spanning Tree per switch (or per
stack of switches).

PC Client A

Switch A

Path: 3

Cost: 100

Path: 1

In this example, Client A can communicate with Server B over two
different paths. The primary path is Path 1 because the cost of the
connection between switches A and C is lower than the cost between
switches A, B and C. If the primary path fails, traffic is sent over the
backup path automatically.

C H A P T E R 2 Using the Intel® Express 530T Switch

Tagged Frames

The 802.1D (1998 Edition) and 802.1Q specifications published by the
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) extends Ethernet
functionality to add tag information to Ethernet frames and propagate
these tagged frames between bridges (for examp le, a switch). The tag can
carry priority information, VLAN information, or both and allows
bridges to intelligently direct traffic across the network.

For outgoing (egress) packets you can specify whether you want the
packets to be tagged or untagged. For incoming (ingress) packets you
can set the ingress filtering so that packets are forwarded to a specific
port as long as that port is a member of the VLAN. You can set a Port
VLAN Identifier (PVID) so that if untagged traffic goes to that port, the
packet inherits the VLAN Identifier (VID) of the port.

Priority

The IEEE 802.1D (1998 Edition) specification incorporates IEEE 802. 1p
and defines information in the frame tag to indicate a priority level.
When these tagged packets are sent out on the network, the higher
priority packets are transferred first. Priority packet tagging (also known
as Traffic Class Expediting) is usually set on the LAN adapter in a PC
and works with other elements of the network (switches, routers) to
deliver priority packets firs t. The priority level can rang e from 0 (low) to
7 (high).

The 530T switch can read the priority tags and forward traffic on a per­port basis. The switch uses two priority queues per port and routes traffic
to a queue depending on the packet’s tag. For example, when a packet
comes into the switch with a high priority tag, the switch routes the
packet to its high-priority queue.

Even though there are eight priority levels, the 530T switch can route a
packet into only one of the two queues. The switch maps levels 0-3 to the
low queue (the default) and levels 4-7 to the high queue. If a packet is
untagged, the switch determines the best way to send the packet.

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation allows you to combine from 2 to 8 (adjacent) ports so
that they function as a single high-speed link. For example, link
aggregation is useful when making connections between switches or to
connect servers to the switch.

Link aggregation, sometimes known as port trunking, can be used to
increase the bandwidth to some devices. Link aggregation can also
provide a redundant link for faul t tolerance. If one link in the agg regation
fails, the switch balances the traffic among the remaining links.

2 ports aggregated x 100Mbps = 200Mbps link

4 ports aggregated x 100Mbps = 400Mbps link

16

To aggregate ports, you must link an “anchor” port with an adjacent port.
The 530T switch supports up to four link aggregation groups (anchor
ports 1, 7, 15) This includes one link aggregation group for the two
module ports.

Guidelines

• The switch treats aggregated links as a single port. This includes
Spanning Tree and VLANs.

• All ports share the same settings as the anchor port. You can change
anchor port settings, but you cannot configure other ports in the link.

• When a port is configured as a member of an aggregated link, it
immediately adopts the characteristics of the anchor port. When a
port is no longer a member of an aggregated link, the characteristics
are reset to the default settings (autonegotiate speed/duplex, flow
control enabled).

• If a port is part of an aggregated link, it cannot be configured as the
target port for a port mirror. However, a port in an aggregated link
can serve as the source port for a port mirror.

• When a 530T is stacked with one or more 535T switches, you
cannot aggregate ports that belong to separate switches. The 530T
supports up to four link aggregatio n groups, and each 535T suppo rts
up to three.

C H A P T E R 2 Using the Intel® Express 530T Switch

Virtual LANs

A Virtual LAN is a logical network grouping that allows you to isolate
network traffic so members of the VLAN receive traffic only from o ther
members. Creating a VLAN is the physical equivalent of moving a group
of devices to a separate switch (creating a Layer 2 broadcast domain).
The advantage of VLANs is that you can reduce broadcast traffic for the
entire switch and increase security, withou t chan ging the wiring of y our
network.

The Express 530T switch supports two types of VLANs:

• Port-based

• IEEE 802.1Q (tag) -based

Port-based VLANs

This is the simplest and most common form of VLAN. In a port-based
VLAN, the system administrator assigns the switch’s ports to a specific
VLAN. For example, the system administrator can designate ports 2, 4,
6, and 9 as part of the engineering VLA N and ports 17, 1 9, 21, and 22 as
part of the marketing VLAN. The advantage of port-based VLANs is that
they are easy to configure and all changes happen at the switch so they
are transparent to the users. The 530T supports a maximum of 24 port­based VLANs. A port can belong to only one VLAN at a time.

If a user changes location, the system administra tor reassigns the port to
the new VLAN. Another advantage is if a hub is connected to a port that
is part of a VLAN, all devices connected to the hub are also part of the
VLAN. The disadvantage is that there is no way to exclude an individual
device on that hub from becoming part of the VLAN.

When a 530T switch is stacked with one or more 535T switches, ports
from any of the switches can be members of a port-based VLAN.

NOTE

When a 530T is stacked with
one or more 535T switches,
ports from any/all of the
switches can be members of
each VLAN.

IEEE 802.1Q (tag)-based VLANs

The second type of V LAN supp orted b y th e 530T switch is base d on the
IEEE 802.1Q specification. Th e specification provides a uniform way for
creating VLANs within a network and allows the creation of a VLAN
that can also span across the network. Until recently, VLAN
implementation was vendor specific so it was not possible to create a
VLAN across devices from di fferent vendors.

The 802.1Q VLAN works by using a tag added to the Ethernet frames.
The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that identifies the frame as
belonging to a specific VLAN. These tags allow switches that support the

802.1Q specification to segregate traffic between devices and

communicate a device’s VLAN association across switches.

There are multiple advantages to implementing 802.1Q VLANs. First, it
helps to contain broadcast and multicast traffic across the switch thus
improving performance. Second, ports can belong to more than one
VLAN. Third, VLANs can span multiple switches that support the

802.1Q specification. Finally, it can provide security and improve

performance by logically isolating users and grouping them together.
The 530T switch supports up to 2047 tag-based VLANs.

A logical grouping can be mapped to a work g roup. For example, you can
create a VLAN that groups all the users from the engineering department
into one VLAN. A benefit of this logical grouping is that it can improve
performance by cutting down traffic that belongs to a different logical
group (for example, mark eting), improv e security (engineer ing can’t see
marketing), and ease moves since the user doesn’t have to be physically
located in the same group to participate in the VLAN.

When a 530T switch is stacked with one or more 535T switches, ports
from any/all of the switches can be members of a tag-based VLAN.

18

C H A P T E R 2 Using the Intel® Express 530T Switch

On the 530T switch, overlapping VLANs can be supported through the
use of 802.1Q-capable devices. However, for non-802.1Q-capable
devices, overlapping VLANs can be supported by implementing an
asymmetric VLAN on the switch (see references below for more
information). An asymmetric VLAN is a type of 802.1Q configuration
where endstations send traffic on one VLAN and receive traffic on
another VLAN. The 530T switch can support asymmetric VLANs.

To learn more about asymmetric VLANs, see
http://support.intel.com/support or refer to IEEE 802.1Q Specification
Annex B.1.3.

Spanning Tree and VLANs

The 530T supports the Spanning Tree Protocol across the entire switch
(or stack of switches), not per VLAN. If a lo op occurs in a VLAN the port
is disabled and all VLAN traffic over that port is blocked.

A good example of this can be seen below. Both Switch 1 and Switch 2
have two port-based VLANs configured. Crossover cables connect the
ENG_VLAN on Switch 1 to ENG_VLAN on and Switch 2. Crossover
cables also connect the MRKT_VLAN on Switch 1 to the
MRKT_VLAN on Switch 2. When Spanning Tree is enabled, the
redundant link between the MRKT_VLANs is blocked and th ose
VLANs can no longer communicate.

When the switch is running 802.1Q VLANs, Spanning Tree is required
for GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) to work properly.

C H A P T E R 2 Intel® Express 530T Switch Users Guide

NOTE

The 530T supports a
maximum of 24 IGMP
sessions, with a maximum of
32 multicast groups per
session. These parameters are
the same whether the 530T is
standalone or in a stack.

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP)

Since IEEE 802.1Q VLANs can span networks, it poses a challenge for
network administrators to manage changes to the VLAN. The GARP
(Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP) provides a dynamic mechanism for switches to share topology
information and manage changes with other switches. This alleviates the
network administrator from manually propag ating VLAN configur ation
information across switches.

GARP is defined by the IEEE 802.1D (1998 Edition) specification and
is the mechanism used by switches and end nodes to propagate VLAN
configurations across the network domain. GVRP uses GARP as a
foundation to propagate VLAN configurations to other switches.
Devices that support GVRP transmit their updates to a known multicast
address that all GVRP-capable devices monitor for infor mation u pdates.

Sending GVRP messages between switches accomplishes these tasks:

• Dynamically adds or removes a port from participating in a VLAN

• Sends updates about the switch’s own VLAN configuration to
neighboring GVRP-capable devices

• Integrates dynamic and static VLAN configurations within the same
switch. Static VLAN configurations are created by the user on the
switch for devices that don’t support GVRP

Dynamically created VLANs are not saved in the switch’s memory.
When the device that is sending out the GVRP updates is disabled or
rebooted the dynamic VLAN is removed.

Internet Group Multicast Protocol

Under normal circumstances, multicast traffic is bro adcast by the switch
to all ports. For multicast traffic based on the IGMP (Internet Group
Multicast Protocol), the switch can optimize the broadcasting of
multicast traffic by forwarding multicast traffic to only the ports that
require it.

IGMP snooping is a feature that allows the switch to forward multicast
traffic intelligently. The switch “snoops” the IGMP query and report
messages and forwards traffic to on ly the ports th at request the multicast
traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports
and possibly affecting network performance.

IGMP requires a router that records the presence of multicast group s on
its subnets and keeps track of group membership. It is important to
remember that multicasting is not connection oriented, so data is
delivered to the requesting hosts on a best-effort level of service.

NOTE

The 530T sends BootP
requests for several minutes;
after that time, if no IP has
been entered, the switch stops
sending the request and
continues to boot.

In a stack of switches, only one
MAC address (the control
switch’s MAC address) is
discovered.

Installing a New Device

After you’ve installed a new switch on your network, you can use Intel
Device View’s Device Install Wizard to configure it for management.

To install and configure a new switch for
management

1 Start Intel Device View. The Device Install Wizard appears. If it

doesn’t appear, click Install from the Device menu or double-click
the appropriate MAC address in the Device Tree under Unconfig­ured Devices. (The MAC address is located on the rear of the
switch.)
