ANAGEMENT

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 1000 management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial port on the front panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).

The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software (such as SMC’s EliteView).

The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the network.

The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support management functions such as:

• Enable/disable any port

• Set the communication mode for any port

• Configure SNMP parameters

• Configure VLANs or multicast filtering

• Display system information or statistics

• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

• Download system firmware

• Restart the system

1-1

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Required Connections

Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s front panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix B of this guide.

When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-17 for a complete description of configuration options.)

Note: If the default settings for the switch’s serial port have been

modified and you are having difficulty making a console connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 3-6.

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site

Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a sample initialization string: “ATQ1 S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined below:

Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring D0 : Don’t care DTR K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control W : Write command to modem memory

Configure the Remote Site

At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and no flow control.

1-3

WITCH MANAGEMENT

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch via a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.

After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using network management software such as EliteView.

Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see

“IP Configuration” on page 2-13.

2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system (up to four).

3. The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMPbased network management software, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.

User name : Enter Password :

If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the default user names are “admin” and “guest,” with no password. The administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. While the guest has Read Only access to the management program.

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select Console Login Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.

Assigning SNMP Parameters

Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an SNMP agent which monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the switch are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are described in the following sections.

Using the Spanning Tree Algorithm

The Spanning Tree Algorithm can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network. For a more detailed description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “Spanning Tree Algorithm” on page 4-2.

Protocol

Priority 32,768 Device priority is used in selecting the root

device, root port, and designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.

Enter a value from 0 - 65535.

Remember that the lower the numeric value, the higher the priority.

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Parameter Default Description

Hello Time 2 Time interval (in seconds) at which the root

device transmits a configuration message.

The minimum value is1.

The maximum value is the lower of 10 or [(Max. Message Age / 2)

-1].

Max (Message) Age

Forward Delay

20 The maximum time (in seconds) a device

can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA information (provided in the last configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached to the network.

The minimum value is the higher of 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)].

The maximum value is the lower of 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay - 1)].

15 The maximum time (in seconds) the root

device will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding). This delay is required because every device must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.

The maximum value is 30.

The minimum value is the higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1].

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Parameter Default Description

Priority 128 Defines the priority for the use of a

port in the STA algorithm. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree. When more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.

The range is 0 - 255.

(Path) Cost 100/19/4 This parameter is used by the STA

algorithm to determine the best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower media. (Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)

The default and recommended range is:

Ethernet: 100 (50~600) Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60) Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)

The full range is 0 - 65535.

2-37

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Parameter Default Description

FastForwarding DISABLED This parameter is used to enable/

disable the Fast Spanning Tree mode for the port. In this mode, ports skip the Blocked, Listening and Learning states and proceed straight to Forwarding.

FastForwarding enables end-node workstations and servers to overcome time-out problems when the Spanning Tree Algorithm is implemented in a network. Therefore, FastForwarding should only be enabled for ports that are connected to an end-node device.

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Parameter Description

Status Displays the current state of this port within the spanning

tree:

Disabled Port has been disabled by the user or has

failed diagnostics.

No Link There is no valid link on the port.

Blocking Port receives STA configuration messages,

but does not forward packets.

Listening Port will leave blocking state due to

topology change, starts transmitting configuration messages, but does not yet forward packets.

Learning Has transmitted configuration messages for

an interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the port begins learning addresses.

Forwarding The port forwards packets, and continues

learning addresses.

The rules defining port status are:

• A port on a network segment with no other STA-compliant bridging device is always forwarding.

• If two ports of a switch are connected to the same segment and there is no other STA device attached to this segment, the port with the smaller ID forwards packets and the other is blocked.

• All ports are blocked when the switch is booted, then some of them change state to listening, to learning, and then to forwarding.

Using a Mirror Port for Analysis

You can mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a network sniffer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner. When mirroring port traffic, note that the target port must be configured in the same VLAN as the source port (see “Configuring Virtual LANs” on page 2-55).

You can use the Mirror Port Configuration screen to designate a single port pair for mirroring as shown below:

SMC TigerSwitch 1000 Local Management -- SMC8606T

< Mirror Port Configuration >

Mirror Source Port : Port 1

Mirror Target Port : Port 2

Status : DISABLED

<APPLY> <OK> <CANCEL> Use <TAB> or arrow keys to move, other keys to make changes.

Parameter Description

Mirror Source Port The port whose traffic will be monitored.

Mirror Target Port The port that will duplicate or “mirror” all the

traffic happening on the monitored port.

Status Enables or disables the mirror function.

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Configuring Port Trunks

Port trunks can be used to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. You can configure up to four trunk connections (combining 2~4 ports into a fat pipe) between any two TigerSwitch 1000 switches. However, before making any physical connections between devices, use the Trunk Configuration menu to specify the trunk on the devices at both ends. When using a port trunk, note that:

• Ports can only be assigned to one trunk.

• The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as

trunk ports.

• The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including duplex mode, and VLAN assignments.

• None of the ports in a trunk can be configured as a mirror source port or mirror target port.

• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN.

• The Spanning Tree Algorithm will treat all the ports in a trunk as a whole.

• Enable the trunk prior to connecting any cable between the switches to avoid creating a loop.

• Disconnect all trunk port cables or disable the trunk ports before removing a port trunk to avoid creating a loop.

IGMP Multicast Filtering

Multicasting is used to support real-time applications such as video conferencing or streaming audio. A multicast server does not have to establish a separate connection with each client. It merely broadcasts its service to the network, and any hosts which want to receive the multicast register with their local multicast switch/ router. Although this approach reduces the network overhead required by a multicast server, the broadcast traffic must be carefully pruned at every multicast switch/router it passes through to ensure that traffic is only passed on the hosts which subscribed to this service.

This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to query for any attached hosts who want to receive a specific multicast service. The switch looks up the IP Multicast Group used for this service and adds any port which received a similar request to that group. It then propagates the service request on to any neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will continue to receive the multicast service. (For more information, see “IGMP Snooping” on page 4-7.)

2-47

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Configuring IGMP

This protocol allows a host to inform its local switch/router that it wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group. You can use the IGMP Configuration screen to configure multicast filtering shown below:

<APPLY> <OK> <CANCEL> Use <TAB> or arrow keys to move, <Space> to scroll options.

Parameter Description

IGMP Status If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic

to determine which hosts want to receive multicast traffic.

IGMP Query Count

The maximum number of queries issued for which there has been no response before the switch takes action to solicit reports.

IGMP Report Delay

The default priority for all ingress ports is zero. Therefore, any inbound frames that do not have priority tags will be placed in the low priority output queue. Default priority is only used to determine the output queue for the current port; no priority tag is actually added to the frame. You can use the 802.1P Port Priority Configuration menu to adjust default priority for any port as shown below:

Configuring Virtual LANs

You can use the VLAN configuration menu to assign any port on the switch to any of up to 256 LAN groups. In conventional networks with routers, broadcast traffic is split up into separate domains. Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains. This can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle a lot of IPX and NetBEUI traffic. By using IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs and GARP VLAN Registration Protocol, you can organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains, confining broadcast traffic to the originating group. This also provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. For more information on how to use VLANs, see “Virtual LANs” on page 4-3. The VLAN configuration screens are described in the following sections.

Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring

In addition to the menu-driven system configuration program, this switch also provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The Web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above).

Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first performed the following tasks:

1. Configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default

gateway using an out-of-band serial connection or BOOTP protocol.

2. Set a user name and password using an out-of-band serial

connection. Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user name and password as the onboard configuration program.

Navigating the Web Browser Interface

To access the Web-browser interface you must first enter a user name and password. The administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. The default user name for the administrator is “admin,” with no password.

Home Page

When your Web browser connects with the switch’s Web agent, the home page is displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu on the left side of the screen and System Information on the right side. The Main Menu links are used to navigate to other menus and display configuration parameters and statistical data.

WEB I

If this is your first time to access the management agent, you should define a new Administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the Main Menu, select Security and enter a new password for the Administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.

Note: Based on the default configuration, a user is allowed three

attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated. See “Console Login Configuration” on page 2-22.

Configuration Options

Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click on the “Apply” button at the bottom of the page to confirm the new setting. The following table summarizes the Web page configuration buttons.
