This means that only users with Administrator privilege can see all other users.
  • Page 41: Ethernet Interface Configuration

    Switched connections between Ethernet segments last only for the duration of the packet. New connections can be made between different segments for the next packet. The ESB26 solves congestion problems caused by high-bandwidth devices and a large number of users by assigning each device to its own 100 or 1000 Mbps segment.

  • Page 60: Link Aggregation Groups (Lags)

    7. Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) Introduction Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), also known as trunks, provide increased bandwidth and high reliability while saving the cost of upgrading the hardware. By combining several interfaces into one logical link, LAGs offer network channels tailored to need, filling the gaps between 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps with intermediate bandwidth values.
  • Page 61: Feature Overview

    Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) Feature Overview Static Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) Static LAGs provide the ability to treat multiple switch ports as one switch port. These port groups act as a single logical port for high-bandwidth connections between two network devices.
  • Page 62 Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) Passive: The switch does not initiate the LAG, but understands the LACP packet. The switch will reply to the received LACP packet to eventually form the LAG if the other end (in active state) requests it to do so. Active: The switch is willing to form an aggregate link, and initiate the negotiation.
  • Page 63: Supported Standards, Mibs And Rfcs

    Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) MAC Addresses Learned on LAG Ports You can see in the MAC address table the physical ports and the LAGs on which the MAC addresses were learned. Each MAC address is shown with the number of the port on which it was physically learned and the name of the LAG group to which the port belongs.
  • Page 64: Prerequisites

    Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) Prerequisites The following guidelines apply to LAG configuration: • You do not need to do any changes to existing higher-layer protocols or applications in order to use Link Aggregation. • Links that cannot take part in Link Aggregation - due to their inherent capabilities or the capabilities of the devices to which they attach, or due to management configuration -operate as normal, individual links.

    8. Traffic Monitoring Introduction Traffic monitoring extends the monitoring capabilities of existing network analyzers in a switched Ethernet environment. Traffic can be monitored on switch's ports and VLANs by configuring another port to "mirror" the traffic on the ports or VLANs you want to monitor. By attaching an analyzer to the mirror port, the system administrator can observe the traffic on the monitored ports and analyze the traffic on the network.

The backup link becomes active only if a failure on the main link occurs. A resilient link comprises a resilient link pair that contains a main link and a standby link.
  • Page 85 Resilient Link prefer port Designates the preferred port of the resilient link. active port Designates the active port of the resilient link. show Displays a table of the configured resilient links. show counter Produces a table showing how many swaps each resilient link has undergone in the current session.
  • Page 86 Resilient Link 3. Removing a specified resilient link from the list of defined resilient links: device-name(config)#no resilient-link 1 ports The ports command, in Resilient-link Configuration mode, adds a port pair as a resilient link. This adds a new resilient link to a list of already defined resilient links. Ports are defined in unit/slot/port notation.
  • Page 87 Resilient Link prefer port The prefer port command, in Resilient-link Configuration mode, sets one of the ports of the resilient link as preferred. A port is said to be preferred if it is always the main port as long as it has the link. Traffic will be switched back to the main port as soon as its connection is recovered.
  • Page 88 Resilient Link show The show command, in Resilient-Link Configuration mode, displays a table of the configured resilient links. The table specifies the resilient-link ID numbers, the resilient link ports, which port is preferred (if any), and which port is currently active. You can specify by ID number or by a range of ID numbers which configured resilient links to display.

  • Page 154 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) network. The MST instances combine with the IST at the boundary of the region to become the CST. The IST connects all the MSTP switches in the region and appears as a subtree in the CST that encompasses the entire switched domain, with the root of the subtree being the IST master.

  • Page 157 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Link Type Rapid connectivity is established only on point-to-point links. If you connect a port to another port through a point-to-point link and the local port becomes a designated port, the RSTP negotiates a rapid transition with the other port by using the proposal-agreement handshake to ensure a loop-free topology.

If all the legacy switches on the link are RSTP switches, they can process MSTP BPDUs as if they are RSTP BPDUs.

    Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Prerequisites The MSTP implementation operates over MSTIs which are, in turn, mapped into groups of VLANs. However, since the MSTP does not enforce VLAN membership state for ports, a situation of inconsistency between the MSTP port’s state and the real state of the port may arise.

    Virtual LANs (VLANs) based VLAN, BiNOS follows the 802.1Q standard that lets you assign a single switch port to two or more VLANs. Tagging VLANs Tagging is a process that inserts a marker (called a tag) into the Ethernet frame. The tag contains the identification number of a specific VLAN, called the VLAN ID.

    Virtual LANs (VLANs) Figure 17-1 VLAN Spanning Two Switches The switch-to-switch connections are typically called trunks. Using tags, multiple VLANs can span multiple switches using one or more trunks. In a port-based VLAN, each VLAN requires its own pair of trunk ports. Using tags, multiple VLANs can span two switches with a single trunk.

  • Page 210 Virtual LANs (VLANs) In port-based VLAN classification within a switch, the VLAN ID associated with an untagged or priority-tagged frame (i.e., a frame without a tag header, or with a tag header that carries the null VLAN ID) is determined, based on the frame’s port of arrival into the switch. This classification mechanism requires the association of a specific VLAN ID, the Port VLAN Identifier, or PVID, with each of the switch’s ports.

    18. Quality of Service Introduction Today’s networks transmit data streams for various applications using many different protocols. Different types of traffic sharing a data path through the network can interact in ways that affect their application performance. Traffic prioritization becomes especially important when delay-sensitive, interactive applications are supported across the network.
  • Page 221 Sorting Packets for QoS Handling Packet Sorting by 802.1p Priority Values Nokia ESB26 supports the standard 802.1p priority bits that are part of a tagged Ethernet packet. The 802.1p bits can be used to prioritize the packet. When a packet arrives at the switch, the switch examines the 802.1p priority field and assigns the packet to a specific QoS queue for transmission.
  • Page 222 Quality of Service Figure 18-1 802.1p Priority Header Fields When the switch detects ingress traffic that contains 802.1p prioritization information, the traffic is mapped to various hardware queues on the egress port of the switch. The transmitting hardware queue determines the bandwidth management and priority characteristics used when transmitting packets.
  • Page 223 Quality of Service NOTE When changing the priority on the port the priority of the dynamic MAC address is also changes. Traffic Scheduling Congestion management features allow you to control congestion by determining the order in which packets are transmitted based on priorities assigned to those packets. Congestion management entails the creation of queues, assignment of packets to those queues based on the packet’s classification, and scheduling of the packets in a queue for transmission.
  • Page 224 Quality of Service Figure 18-2 Strict Priority Queuing Benefits of SP Queuing SP provides absolute preferential treatment to high priority traffic, ensuring that mission- critical traffic traversing various WAN links gets priority treatment. In addition, SP provides a faster response time than do other methods of queuing. Weighted Round Robin (WRR) In this scheduling method, a weighting factor for each queue determines how many bytes of data the system delivers from the queue before it moves on to the next queue.
  • Page 225 Quality of Service is serviced again. A better solution is to specify 500-byte, 600-byte, and 500-byte counts for the queue. This configuration results in a ratio of 31/38/31, which may be acceptable. In order to service queues in a timely manner and ensure that the configured bandwidth allocation is as close as possible to the required bandwidth allocation, you should cross-check the byte count resulting from each protocol’s packet size, otherwise the results may not match what you wish to configure.
  • Page 226 Quality of Service respectively, from each queue. These are the byte counts you would specify in your custom queuing configuration. To determine the bandwidth distribution this ratio represents, first determine the total number of bytes sent after traffic serviced on all of the three queues: (1 x 1086) + (12 x 291) + (2 x 831) = 1086 + 3492 + 1662 = 6240 Then determine the percentage of the total number of bytes sent from each queue: 1086/6240, 3492/6240, 1662/6240 = 17.4, 56, and 26.6 percent...

    Quality of Service impaired, since UDP does not use the "slow start" flow control mechanism that is used by TCP. Output Traffic Shaping When congestion occurs, the packets are transmitted on the outgoing interface and the assigned queues.

    20. IGMP Snooping Introduction The BiNOS switch can use IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping to constrain the flooding of multicast traffic. This is done by dynamically configuring physical interfaces to forward multicast traffic only to interfaces that are associated with IP multicast devices.
  • Page 255: Immediate-Leave Processing

    IGMP Snooping traffic to the VLAN. The switch forwards multicast group traffic only to those hosts listed in the forwarding table for that multicast group. When hosts want to leave a multicast group, they can leave silently or send a leave message. When the switch receives a leave message from a host, it sends out a MAC-based general query to determine if any other devices connected to that interface are interested in traffic for the specific multicast group.

    34. 802.1X Port-Based Authentication Introduction The IEEE 802.1X standard offers a method for controlling port access in a central location on a user or device basis. 802.1X helps to facilitate the control of networks. The 802.1X (or dot1x) standard relies on the supplicant (user or client that requests authentication) to provide credentials in order to gain access to the network.
  • Page 372: Mode Of Operation

    802.1X Port-Based Authentication Mode of Operation When a BiNOS switch is configured as an authenticator, the ports of the switch must be configured for authorization. When the authenticator detects that the link with the supplicant is active and an EAPOL start- packet is received, the authenticator port sends an EAP packet to the supplicant requesting the supplicant’s identification.
  • Page 373: Ports In Authorized And Unauthorized States

    802.1X Port-Based Authentication Table 34-1 802.1X Supplicant Modes M o d e D e s c r i p t i o n Single Host Only one supplicant may be authorized on a port. If several supplicants request authorization, the first one that authenticates successfully is authorized, and all the others are rejected without trying to authenticate them.
  • Page 374: Supported Standards, Mibs And Rfcs

    802.1X Port-Based Authentication successfully authenticated, the port transitions to the authorized state, allowing all traffic for the supplicant to flow normally. If a supplicant that does not support 802.1X is connected to an unauthorized 802.1X port, the switch requests the supplicant's identity. In this situation, the supplicant does not respond to the request, the port remains in the unauthorized state, and the supplicant is not granted access to the network.

    802.1X Port-Based Authentication Configuring and Displaying 802.1X The BiNOS 802.1X implementation consists of configuring the three participants for operation. Supplicants that connect to 802.1X authenticators are required to support EAP. The 802.1X implementation needs at least one RADIUS server to be configured. Dot1x works with every RADIUS server that is compatible with RFC 2865 and RFC 2869, as well as with every 802.1X supplicant that is compatible with the IEEE 802.1X standard.

    37. DNS Resolver Introduction The Domain Name System (DNS) is the means by which Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to- remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.
