1.1 EMS Overview
The Element Management System (EMS) retrieves management information from switches
using SNMP protocol.
An EMS is composed of Network Elements (NE) that represent resources in a Network
Management System (NMS). The network elements can represent a physical piece of
equipment on the network, the components of a device on the network, or parts of the network
itself. The EMS is designed to manage the ES-3124 Series switches in the NMS. The ES-3124
Series covers the ES-3124 and the ES-3124PWR.

5.2 STP Status
5.2.1 Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to
ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.
5.2.1.1 STP Terminology
The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree; it is the bridge with the lowest identifier value
(MAC address).
Chapter 5 Status 62
NetAtlas Enterprise 1.00 User’s Guide
Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame onto a LAN through that port. It is assigned
according to the speed of the link to which a port is attached. The slower the media, the higher
the cost - see the next table.
Table 14 STP Path Costs
LINK SPEED RECOMMENDED VALUE RECOMMENDED RANGE ALLOWED RANGE
4Mbps 250 100 to 1000 1 to 65535
10Mbps 100 50 to 600 1 to 65535
16Mbps 62 40 to 400 1 to 65535
100Mbps 19 10 to 60 1 to 65535
1Gbps 4 3 to 10 1 to 65535
10Gbps 2 1 to 5 1to 65535
On each bridge, the root port is the port through which this bridge communicates with the root.
It is the port on this switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is
no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree
network.
For each LAN segment, a designated bridge is selected. This bridge has the lowest cost to the
root among the bridges connected to the LAN.
5.2.2 How STP Works
After a bridge determines the lowest cost-spanning tree with STP, it enables the root port and
the ports that are the designated ports for connected LANs, and disables all other ports that
participate in STP. Network packets are therefore only forwarded between enabled ports,
eliminating any possible network loops.
STP-aware switches exchange Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) periodically. When the
bridged LAN topology changes, a new spanning tree is constructed.
Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs
(Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello
BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root
bridge is down. This bridge then initiates negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the
network to re-establish a valid network topology.
63 Chapter 5 Status
5.2.3 STP Port States
STP assigns five port states (see next table) to eliminate packet looping. A bridge port is not
allowed to go directly from blocking state to forwarding state so as to eliminate transient
loops.

Use the following screens to view a table of MAC address entries or to view a table of IP
address mappings.
5.5.1 802.1D: MAC Table
The MAC table shows how frames are forwarded or filtered across the switch’s ports. It shows
what device MAC address, belonging to what VLAN group (if any) is forwarded to which
port(s) and whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the switch) or static (manually
entered in Static MAC Forwarding).
The switch uses the Filtering Database to determine how to forward frames. See the following
figure.
1 The switch examines a received frame and learns the port on which this source MAC
address came.
2 The switch checks to see if the frame's destination MAC address matches a source MAC
address already learned in the Filtering Database.
NetAtlas Enterprise 1.00 User’s Guide
If the switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, then it forwards the frame
to that port.
If the switch has not already learned the port for this MAC address, then the frame is
flooded to all ports. Too much port flooding leads to network congestion.
If the switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, but the destination port is
the same as the port it came in on, then it filters the frame.

5.5.3 802.1D: ARP Table
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP
address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC
address, on the local area network.
An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits
long. The ARP Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its
corresponding IP address.
5.5.4 How ARP Works
When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the
switch, the switch's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it
to the device.
If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the
LAN. The switch fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the
known IP address of the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the switch puts all
ones in the target MAC field (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The
replying device (which is either the IP address of the device being sought or the router that
knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the target's MAC address, swaps the
sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the requesting machine. ARP
updates the ARP Table for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that
replied.

The ARP table can hold up to 16K entries.

NetAtlas Enterprise 1.00 User’s Guide
CHAPTER 10
System Configuration
10.2.1 About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network switches. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. A
manager station can manage and monitor the switch through the network via SNMP version
2c. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if
TCP/IP is configured.
Figure 70 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
Chapter 10 System Configuration 92
NetAtlas Enterprise 1.00 User’s Guide
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed switch (the ES-3124).
An agent translates the local management information from the managed switch into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators
perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor
managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a switch. Examples of variables include such as number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection
of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of
accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol
operations:
Table 27 SNMP Commands
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Get Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list
Set Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
within an agent. In SNMP, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of
a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of
GetNext operations.
See the switch User’s Guide for a list of supported Traps.
10.2.2 Configuring SNMP

11.1 IGMP Snooping
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112 and
RFC 2236 for information on IGMP versions 1 and 2 respectively.
A layer-2 switch can passively snoop on IGMP Query, Report and Leave (IGMP version 2)
packets transferred between IP multicast routers/switches and IP multicast hosts to learn the IP
multicast group membership. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group
registration information, and configures multicasting accordingly.
NetAtlas Enterprise 1.00 User’s Guide
CHAPTER 11
Switch Configuration
Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic,
that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, group multicast traffic is only
forwarded to ports that are members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no additional
network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your
switch.

Queuing Method Select Strictly Priority or Weighted Fair Scheduling from the drop-down
list box.
Strictly Priority services queues based on priority only. When the highest
priority queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue begins.
Q7 has the highest priority and Q0 the lowest.
Weighted Fair Scheduling is used to guarantee each queue’s minimum
bandwidth based on their bandwidth portion (weight). Queues with larger
weights get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller
weights.
MAC Address Learning MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC
address learning to occur on a port, the port must be active.
Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically
learned MAC addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age
out (and must be relearned).
