Overview
The Cajun™ P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a
range of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and a Layer 3 capability/ATM
Expansion sub-module. The Cajun P332MF switch has 12x100BaseFX MT-RJ ports
and an Expansion sub-module slot. The optional expansion sub-modules provide
additional Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
A Cajun P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and up to 3 backup power supply
units. The stacked switches are connected using the Cajun X330STK stacking submodules which plug into a slot in the back of the Cajun P330. They are connected
using the X330SC or X330LC cable (if the stack is split between 2 racks). The Cajun
X330RC cable connects the top and bottom switches in the stack and provides
redundancy and hot-swappability in the same way that modules can be swapped in
a modular switching chassis.
The Cajun P330 is fully compliant with IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit
Ethernet, Spanning Tree and Flow Control. This full standards-compliance,
combined with auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps and half/full duplex
facilitates the expansion of your network to match your company's growing needs.
Cajun P330 Family Features
•You can connect up to 10 Cajun P330 switches in a stack. Moreover, this stack
can be either in one rack or split over several racks using the X330LC Long
Cable, according to your requirements.
•Cajun X330STK - this stacking sub-module is used to connect Cajun P330
switches in a stack, via the Octaplane.
•Cajun P330 BUPS - this back-up power supply module supports up to four
Cajun P330 switches.
•One RJ-45/RS232 front panel console connector for both terminal and modem
(future) sessions.
•Two fan units in every switch, with operation sensors.
•One virtual IP address for managing the whole stack, the P330 stack is managed
as a single entity.
•Hot-swapping of one switch at a time - by activation of the redundant cable:
— Does not disrupt the operation of other Cajun P330 switches.
— Does not change stack configuration.
— Does not require network downtime.
•Connection through Telnet from the front panel ports of
— multiple levels of password protection
— login and inactivity timeouts

Chapter 1Overview
Layer 2 Features
Auto-Negotiation
Every 10/100 port on the Cajun P330 supports Auto-Negotiation which
automatically detects and supports the operating mode and speed of a connected
device. Auto-negotiation is also supported on the Gigabit Ethernet ports for flow
control mode only.
This means that you can simply connect the Cajun P330 to Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet equipment at full or half duplex without configuration.
Congestion Control
Congestion control is a key element of maintaining network efficiency as it
prevents resource overload.
The Lucent Cajun P330 supports congestion control on all Ethernet ports, using the
following:
•Back Pressure in half duplex mode
•IEEE 802.3x Flow Control in full duplex mode
VLANs
The Cajun P330 VLANs are fully IEEE 802.1Q compliant and can handle up to 3k
tagged VLANs.
Special VLAN (Virtual Sideband) for management provides physical security for key
applications.
Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
LAG provides increased bandwidth and redundancy for critical high-bandwidth
applications such as inter-stack links and connections to servers. You can aggregate
the bandwidth of up to eight 10/100Base-Tx ports, two 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X
ports.
Load sharing ensures that if one of the port connections fails, the other connections
will assume the load seamlessly. Load balancing guarantees that the traffic load at
any level will be evenly divided among all the LAG links.
IP Multicast Filtering
IP Multicast allows you to send a single copy of an IP packet to multiple
destinations, and can be used for various applications including video streaming
and video conferencing.
On LANS, IP Multicast packets are transmitted in MAC Multicast frames.
Traditional LAN switches flood these Multicast packets to all stations in the VLAN.
2Cajun P332MF User’s Guide
Multicast filtering functions may be added to the Layer 2 switches to avoid sending
Multicast packets where they are not required. Layer 2 switches capable of
Multicast filtering send the Multicast packets only to ports that connect members of
that Multicast group. This is typically based on IGMP snooping, GMRP or CGMP.
Note: To operate IP Multicast filtering with IGMP snooping, Hardware Ver. C/S 2.0
or higher is mandatory.
Radius Security
The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is an IETF standard
(RFC 2138) client/server security protocol. Security and login information is stored
in a central location known as the RADIUS server. RADIUS clients such as the
Cajun P330, communicate with the RADIUS server to authenticate users.
All transactions between the RADIUS client and server are authenticated throught
the use of a “shared secret” which is not sent over the network. The shared secret is
an authentication password configured on both the RADIUS client and its RADIUS
servers. The shared secret is stored as clear text in the client’s file on the RADIUS
server, and in the non-volatile memory of the Cajun P330. In addition, user
passwords are sent between the client and server are encrypted for increased
security.
Chapter 1Overview
Port Redundancy
Redundancy can be implemented between any two ports in the same stack at the
link level. You can also assign redundancy between any two LAGs in the stack or
between a LAG and a port. One port or LAG is defined as the primary port, and the
other as the secondary port. In case the primary port link fails, the secondary port
takes over.
Intermodule Redundancy
Intermodule redundancy includes all Port Redundancy functionality. Intermodule
redundancy maintains port integrity even when the primary port link fails as the
result of a failure of the module. If the module on which the primary port in an
Intermodule Port Redundancy is powered down or removed from the device, the
secondary port in the Intermodule Port Redundancy takes over. Only one module
per stack must be set for Intermodule Port Redundancy.
Stack Redundancy
In the unlikely event that a Cajun P330 switch or Octaplane link should fail, stack
integrity is maintained. The broken link is bypassed and data transmission
Cajun P332MF User’s Guide3
Chapter 1Overview
continues uninterrupted. The single management IP address for the stack is also
preserved for uninterrupted management and monitoring.
Hot-Swappable
You can remove or replace any unit within the stack without disrupting operation
or performing stack-level reconfiguration. You can therefore adapt the P330 to
your requirements on the fly and with a down-time which is second to none.
Backup Power Supply
Each Cajun P330 basic unit comes with a Backup Power Supply (BUPS) connector.
If the internal power supply should fail, the Cajun P330 BUPS (available
separately,) will automatically supply power to the switch for uninterrupted
operation.
Fans
The Cajun P330 base unit fans have integrated sensors which provide advance
warnings of fan failure via management.
Network Management Agent (NMA) Redundancy
Since each Cajun P330 module has an integral SNMP agent, any module in a stack
can serve as the stack NMA while other NMAs act as redundant agents in “hot”
standby. If the “live” NMA fails then a backup is activated instantaneously.
The Cajun P330 complies with the following standards.
IEEE
•802.3x Flow Control on all ports
•802.1Q VLAN Tagging support on all ports and 802.1p compatible
•802.1D Bridges and STA
•803.2z Gigabit Ethernet ports
•803.2u Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports
IETF
•MIB-II - RFC 1213
•Bridge MIB for Spanning Tree - RFC 1492
•RMON - RFC 1757
•SMON - RFC 2613
