In general, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch is responsible for switching both VLAN tagged and untagged frames from a receiving port to one or more transmitting ports. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch performs multiple steps during the switching process:
VLAN classification
Learning
Filtering
Forwarding
Aging
Below is additional information about tasks that the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch performs during unicast and multicast switching.
UNICAST SWITCHING
VLAN Classification
When the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways:
If the frame is untagged, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch classifies the frame to an associated VLAN.
If the frame is tagged, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify the broadcasting domain of the frame.
Learning
After VLAN classification, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks the <source MAC address, VLAN> pair in the switching database (SDB) to see whether the <source MAC address, VLAN> pair is known.
If it is unknown, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch inserts the <source MAC address, VLAN> into the SDB and learns the <source MAC address, VLAN>.
If it is known, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks the <source MAC address, VLAN> for a mismatched port ID. If the port ID associated with the <source MAC address, VLAN> pair in the SDB is different than the receiving port, the switch modifies the port ID in the SDB and modifies its management database (MDB) accordingly.
Filtering
After learning the address, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks:
Whether the source port or destination port is in the forwarding state.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 11
2: Product Overview
Whether the source MAC address or destination MAC address is to be filtered.
Whether the source port ID is the same as destination port ID.
If any of these conditions are met, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch drops the receiving packet. Otherwise, it continues with the forwarding process described below.
Forwarding
During the forwarding process, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks whether the <destination MAC address, VLAN> pair is unknown.
If it is unknown, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch floods the receiving frame to all ports in the VLAN, excluding the source port.
If it is known, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch forwards the receiving frame to the port associated with the <destination MAC address, VLAN> pair. At the same time, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch ascertains the individual’s port’s VLAN tagging/untagging configuration and corresponding VLAN ID to render the appropriate frame tagging when the frame is ready to be transmitted.
MULTICAST SWITCHING
For multicast switching, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks whether the received frame is a BPDU. If a BPDU is received, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch forwards the frame to the CPU for processing by the spanning tree protocol. Otherwise, the Xpress­Pro SW 94000 switch performs the following processes:
VLAN classification
Same as for unicast switching.
Learning
Same as for unicast switching.
Filtering
After learning the address, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch checks:
Whether the source port or destination port is not in the forwarding state.
Whether the source MAC address or destination MAC address is to be filtered.
If any of these conditions are met, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch drops the receiving packet. Otherwise, it continues with the forwarding process described below.
Forwarding
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch floods the received multicast frame to all ports that are in forwarding state within the VLAN, excluding the source port. At the same time, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch ascertains the individual port’s VLAN tagging/untagging configuration and corresponding VLAN ID to render the appropriate frame tagging when the frame is ready to be transmitted.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 12
2: Product Overview
Aging
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch performs the aging process for the <MAC addresses, VLAN> pair in the switching database. Once a <MAC address, VLAN> pair is aged out, the SDB is modified.
Spanning Tree
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch supports one Spanning Tree per bridged network.VLAN
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same wire, even though they may actually be physically located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are analogous to a group of end stations, perhaps on multiple physical LAN segments that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if they were on a common LAN.
VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. One of the biggest advantages of VLANs is that when a computer is physically moved to another location, it can stay on the same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration.
Because VLANs are not limited by the hardware constraints that physically connect traditional LAN segments to a network, they can define a network into various logical configurations. For example, VLANs can define a network by application. In this scenario, a company might create one VLAN for multimedia users and another for email users. VLANs can also define a network by department. For example, a company might have one VLAN for its Engineering Department, another for its Marketing Department, and another for its Account Payable Department.
VLANs can also be set up according to the organization structure within a company. For example, the company president might have his/her own VLAN, the executive staff might have a different VLAN, and the remaining employees might have yet a different VLAN.
As these examples show, VLANs offer unparalleled flexibility. The following sections describe how deploying VLANs can benefit organizations and reduce administration costs.
Broadcast Containment
In traditional networks, traffic broadcasts to all network devices, whether they are the intended recipients or not. However, VLANs can be set up to contain only those devices that need to communicate with each other. As a result, VLANs significantly reduce network congestion. In addition, VLANs prevent broadcast storms from causing network meltdown due to volumes of traffic.
Multicast-Based Multimedia Applications
Multimedia applications, such as interactive training, video conferencing, and news-video transmissions, require large amounts of bandwidth. These applications are also extremely sensitive to variable delays, which are unavoidable on a shared Ethernet network. By defining a VLAN based on the IP multicast address for all subscribing members on the VLAN, sufficient bandwidth will be available for these application, providing true multimedia on Ethernet.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 13
2: Product Overview
Enhanced Security
Because VLANs are self-contained, only the devices within the same VLAN can communicate with each other. If a device in one VLAN wants to communicate with a device in another VLAN, the traffic must go through a router.
VLAN Membership
VLAN implementation allows:
VLANs across multiple switches by using explicit or implicit tagging and the GARP/GVRP protocol defined in IEEE802.1p and 802.1Q.
An end station’s network interface card may belong to multiple VLANs.
A switch port may be associated with multiple VLANs.
Definitions of VLAN Membership
VLAN implementation allows VLAN membership to be defined based on ports. Port­based VLANs are organized by physical port number. For example, switch ports 1, 2, 4 and 6 can be grouped on VLAN, while server ports 3, 5, 7 and 8 can be on another VLAN. Broadcasts from servers within each group would only go to the members of its own VLAN. This ensures that broadcast storms cannot cause a network meltdown due to traffic volume.
VLAN Membership Learning
Port-based VLAN is defined using a static binding between a VLAN and its associated ports. The switch’s forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port ID. Therefore, to make valid forwarding and flooding decisions, the switch learns the relationship of the MAC address to its related port – and thus to the VLAN – at runtime.
Remote VLAN Learning
In addition to providing network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member ports, the switch also supports GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol). GVRP allows for dynamic registration of VLAN port members within switch and across multiple switches.
Other than supporting dynamic updating of registration entries in a switch, GVRP is used to communicate VLAN registration information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that a VLAN member can cover a wide span of switches on a network.
GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and switches to issue and revoke VLAN memberships. VLAN-aware switches register and propagate VLAN membership to all ports that belong to the active topology of the VLAN.
VLAN CONFIGURATION
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch provides a Local/Remote Management Console Interface for VLAN configuration and management An SNMP-based VLAN MIB is also provided.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 14

GVRP

2: Product Overview
Intra-VLAN Communication
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch supports intra-VLAN communication through hardware, as described in “Basic Functions” section.
Inter-VLAN Communication
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch supports inter-VLAN communication using CPU-based routing software
In addition to network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member ports, the routing switch supports GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). GVRP supports dynamic registration of VLAN port members within a switch and across multiple switches.
In addition to dynamically updating registration entries within a switch, GVRP is used to communicate VLAN registration information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that members of a VLAN can cover a wide span of switches on a network.
GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and switches to issue and revoke VLAN memberships. VLAN-aware switches register and propagate VLAN membership to all ports that are part of the active topology of the VLAN.

IGMP Snooping and IP Multicast Filtering

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) runs between hosts and their immediately neighboring multicast routers. The protocol’s mechanisms allow a host to inform its local router that it wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group.
Routers periodically query the LAN to determine if known group members are still active. If there is more than one router on the LAN performing IP multicasting, one of the routers is elected “querier” and assumes the responsibility of querying the LAN for group members.
Based on the group membership information learned from the IGMP, a router can determine which (if any) multicast traffic needs to be forwarded to each of its “leaf” sub­networks. Multicast routers use this information, along with a multicast routing protocol, to support IP multicasting across the Internet.
IGMP provides the final step in an IP multicast packet delivery service since it is only concerned with the forwarding of multicast traffic from the local route to group members on directly attached sub-networks.
Routing switches support IP Multicast Filtering by:
Passively snooping on the IGMP Query and IGMP Report packets transferred
between IP Multicast Routers and IP Multicast host groups to learn IP Multicast group members, and
Actively sending IGMP Query messages to solicit IP Multicast group members.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 15
The purpose of IP multicast filtering is to optimize a switched network’s performance, so multicast packets will only be forwarded to those ports containing multicast group hosts members and routers instead of flooding to all ports in the subnet (VLAN).
Routing switches with IP multicast filtering/switching capability not only passively monitor IGMP Query and Report messages, DVMRP Probe messages, PIM, and MOSPF Hello messages; they also actively send IGMP Query messages to learn locations of multicast routers and member hosts in multicast groups within each VLAN.
Note, however, IGMP neither alters nor routes any IP multicast packets. Since IGMP is not concerned with the delivery of IP multicast packets across sub-networks, an external IP multicast router is needed if IP multicast packets have to be routed across different sub-networks.

Administration Console

The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, menu-driven user interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings.
Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch’s console port.
There are two ways to use this management method: direct access or modem access. The following sections describe these methods.
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 23
4: Switch Management
[Default parameters]
115,200bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
Modem Access
You can access the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch’s administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console port. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch management program provides Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen, which lets you configure parameters for modem access.
When you have configured the external modem from the administration console, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch transmits characters that you have entered as output on the modem port. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current administration console session. The console appears to be directly connected to the external modem.

Web Management

The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely.
After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch’s web interface applications directly in your web browser by entering the IP address of the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch. You can then use your web browser to list and manage switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch’s console port.
Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.03 or later.
Netscape Navigator
If you use Netscape Navigator 4.03 or 4.04, install the Netscape JDK 1.1 Patch. Download the patch from:
http://help.hetscape.com/filelib.html#smartupdate
If you encounter problems accessing Help files when you use Netscape, clear the browser memory cache and disk cache, and restart the browser.

SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Xpress­Pro SW 94000 switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network management station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch are public.

Protocols

The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch supports the following protocols:
Virtual terminal protocols, such as Telnet
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you to establish a management session from a Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address configured on the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch before you can establish access to it with a virtual terminal protocol.
Note: Terminal emulation is different from a virtual terminal protocol in that you must connect a terminal directly to the console port.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is the standard management protocol for multivendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.

Management Architecture

All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (e.g. console port) are immediately displayed the other management methods (e.g. SNMP agent of web browser).
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 25
4: Switch Management
The management architecture of the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 26
5: Menu-Driven Console Management
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch provides a menu-driven console interface for configuration purposes. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch can be configured either locally through its RS-232 port or remotely via a Telnet session.
This chapter describes how to configure the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch using its menu-driven console.

VLAN & PVID Perspective
There are three types of private VLAN ports: promiscuous, isolated, and community.
A promiscuous port communicates with all other private VLAN ports and is the port you use to communicate with routers, servers, and administrative workstations.
An isolated port has complete Layer 2 separation from other ports within the same private VLAN with the exception of the promiscuous port.
Community ports communicate among themselves and with their promiscuous ports. These ports are isolated at Layer 2 from all other ports in other communities or isolated ports within their private VLAN.
Primary VLAN conveys incoming traffic from the promiscuous port to all other promiscuous, isolated, and community ports.
Isolated VLAN used by isolated ports to communicate to the promiscuous ports.
XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 36
5: Menu-Driven Console Management
Community VLAN used by a group of community ports to communicate among themselves and transmit traffic to outside the group via the designated promiscuous port.

Note: Default VLAN:
The IEEE802.1Q standard defines VLAN ID #1 as the default VLAN. The default VLAN includes all the ports as the factory default. The default VLAN’s egress rule restricts the ports to be all untagged, so it can, by default, be easily used as a simple 802.1D bridging domain. The default VLAN’s domain shrinks as untagged ports are defined in other VLANs.
