2 Introduction
The PRIMERGY BX Blade Server system is a modular server system that can integrates up to
10 server modules, four Ethernet Switch Modules (one switch will be included in the base
enclosure, the other three are optional) and two Management Modules (MMB). The Ethernet
Module provides networking or Switch functions to PRIMERGY BX Blade Server. The
Management Modules provides a single point of control for the PRIMERGY BX Blade Server.
The PRIMERGY BX600 Ethernet Switch Modules are 42-port devices that are connected to
servers through the mid-plane connectors located on PRIMERGY BX Blade Server middle
plane. The device has 44 ports. The ports numeration starts from the internal ports g1-g30
connected to server blades, and ports g31-g42 are the external ports connecting the Ethernet
Switch Module to the network through the internal ports. The g43 and g44 are inter-link ports
connected two switch blades through the mid-plane.
y
12 external RJ-45 connectors for 10/100/1000 Base-T copper ports (uplinks).
y
2 internal ports (Named inter-link ports) connected two switches.
y
30 internal ports connected to servers through PRIMERGY BX Blade Server mid-plane
connector of a VHDM type.
The terminal connection to the device is provided through the MMB board only. No access
point is provided on the Ethernet Switch Module front panel. For debugging and management
purposes, a UART bus of each Ethernet Switch Module is connected to the MMB board. The
MMB board can select for management only one switch at a time.
The Ethernet Switch Module receives a power supply (12 V dc) through the mid-plane
connector. A two system LED indicates the Ethernet Switch Module status (Power module,
MMB-selected or not).
The following figure illustrates the PRIMERGY BX600:
Figure 1-1. PRIMERGY BX600 GESwitch Blade Front Panel
2.1 Features of the Switch
The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing features. Multicast
filtering provides support for real-time network applications. Port-based and tagged VLANs,
plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration provide traffic security and efficient use of
network bandwidth. QoS priority queuing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time
multi-media data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to
bottlenecks caused by port saturation. And broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast
traffic storms from engulfing the network. Some of the management features are briefly
described below.
Head of Line Blocking
Head of Line (HOL) blocking results in traffic delays and frame loss caused by traffic competing
for the same egress port resources. HOL blocking queues packets, and the packets at the
head of the queue are forwarded before packets at the end of the queue.
Flow Control Support (IEEE 802.3X)
Flow control enables lower speed devices to communicate with higher speed devices, by
requesting that the higher speed device refrains from sending packets. Transmissions are
temporarily halted to prevent buffer overflows.
Back Pressure Support
On half-duplex links, the receiving port prevents buffer overflows by occupying the link so that it
is unavailable for additional traffic.
Jumbo Frames Support
Jumbo frames are frames with an MTU size of up to 9K bytes, and better utilize the network by
transporting the same data using fewer frames. The main benefits of this facility are reduced
transmission overhead, and reduced host processing overhead. Less frames leads to less I/O
interrupts. This facility is typically used for server-to-server transfers.
MDI/MDIX Support
The Ethernet Switch Module automatically detects whether the cable connected to an RJ-45
port is crossed or straight through. Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Dependent
Interface (MDI) and the standard wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-Dependent
Interface with Crossover (MDIX).
Auto Negotiation
Auto negotiation allows an Ethernet Switch Module to advertise modes of operation. The auto
negotiation function provides the means to exchange information between two devices that
share a point-to-point link segment, and to automatically configure both devices to take
maximum advantage of their transmission capabilities.
2.1.1
MAC Address Supported Features
MAC Address Capacity Support
The Ethernet Switch Module supports up to 16K MAC addresses. The Ethernet Switch Module
reserves specific MAC addresses for system use.
Static MAC Entries
MAC entries can be manually entered in the Bridging Table, as an alternative to learning them
from incoming frames. These user-defined entries are not subject to aging, and are preserved
across resets and reboots.
Self-Learning MAC Addresses
The Ethernet Switch Module enables automatic MAC address learning from incoming packets.
The MAC addresses are stored in the Bridging Table.
Features of the Switch
Introduction
Automatic Aging for MAC Addresses
MAC addresses from which no traffic is received for a given period are aged out. This prevents
the Bridging Table from overflowing.
Port Security
Port security prevents unauthorized users from accessing your network. It allows each port to
learn, or be assigned, a list of MAC addresses for devices authorized to access the network
through that port. Any packet received on the port must have a source address that appears in
the authorized list, otherwise it will be dropped. Port security is disabled on all ports by default,
but can be enabled on a per-port basis.
Address Filtering
This switch provides a packet filter for all traffic entering the CPU port and hence potentially
forwarded or routed to the management network. The packet filter is rule/pattern based and
constitutes a set of patterns which when matched will DROP the packet, and a further set of
patterns which when matched will ACCEPT the packet.
MAC Multicast Support
Multicast service is a limited broadcast service, which allows one-to-many and many-to-many
connections for information distribution. Layer 2 Multicast service is where a single frame is
addressed to a specific Multicast address, from where copies of the frame are transmitted to
the relevant ports.
2.1.2
Layer 2 Features
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping examines IGMP frame contents, when they are forwarded by the Ethernet
Switch Module from work stations to an upstream Multicast router. From the frame, the
Ethernet Switch Module identifies work stations configured for Multicast sessions, and which
Multicast routers are sending Multicast frames.
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and
outgoing packets from a monitored port to a monitoring port. Users specify which target port
receives copies of all traffic passing through a specified source port.
Broadcast Storm Control
Storm Control enables limiting the amount of Multicast and Broadcast frames accepted and
forwarded by the Ethernet Switch Module. When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast and
Multicast frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. This occupies bandwidth, and
loads all nodes connected on all ports.
VLAN Supported Features
The switch supports up to 512 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share
the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the
network. The switch supports tagged VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard. Members of
VLAN groups can be dynamically learned via GVRP, or ports can be manually assigned to a
specific set of VLANs. This allows the switch to restrict traffic to the VLAN groups to which a
user has been assigned. By segmenting your network into VLANs, you can:

Lan Switch and Router Blade
Sample Applications
Network Planning
1) Eliminate broadcast storms which severely degrade performance in a flat network.
2) Simplify network management for node changes/moves by remotely configuring VLAN
membership for any port, rather than having to manually change the network connection.
3) Provide data security by restricting all traffic to the originating VLAN, except where a
connection has been configured between separate VLANs using a router or Layer 3 switch.
VLAN Support
VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. Packets are
classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the VLAN tag or based on a combination of
the ingress port and packet contents. Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in
the same VLAN.
Port Based Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Port-based VLANs classify incoming packets to VLANs based on their ingress port. For more
information, see "Defining VLAN Ports Settings".
IEEE802.1V Protocol Based Virtual LANs (VLANs)
VLAN classification rules are defined on data-link layer (Layer 2) protocol identification.
Protocol based VLANs isolate Layer 2 traffic for differing Layer 3 protocols.
Full 802.1Q VLAN Tagging Compliance
IEEE 802.1Q defines an architecture for virtual bridged LANs, the services provided in VLANs
and the protocols and algorithms involved in the provision of these services. An important
requirement included in this standard is the ability to mark frames with a desired Class of
Service (CoS) tag value (0-7).
GVRP Support
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) provides IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning
and dynamic VLAN creation on 802.1Q trunk ports. When GVRP is enabled, the Ethernet
Switch Module registers and propagates VLAN membership on all ports that are part of the
active underlying "Spanning Tree Protocol Features" topology.
GMRP Protocol
GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) is a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP) application that provides a constrained multicast flooding facility similar to IGMP
snooping. GMRP and GARP are industry-standard protocols defined by the IEEE
802.1p.GMRP provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to dynamically
register group membership information with the MAC bridges attached to the same LAN
segment and for that information to be disseminated across all bridges in the Bridged LAN that
supports extended filtering services. The operation of GMRP relies upon the services provided
by the GARP. GMRP software components run on both the switch and on the host. On the host,
GMRP is typically used with IGMP: the host GMRP software spawns Layer 2 GMRP versions
of the host's Layer 3 IGMP control packets. The switch receives both the Layer 2 GMRP and
the Layer 3 IGMP traffic from the host. The switch uses the received GMRP traffic to constrain.
2.1.3
Spanning Tree Protocol Features
(1) Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, IEEE 802.1D) – This protocol adds a level of fault tolerance by
allowing two or more redundant connections to be created between a pair of LAN segments.
17
Lan Switch and Router Blade
When there are multiple physical paths between segments, this protocol will choose a single
path and disable all others to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the
network. This prevents the creation of network loops. However, if the chosen path should fail
for any reason, an alternate path will be activated to maintain the connection.
(2) IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP, IEEE 802.1w) – This protocol reduces the convergence
time for network topology changes to about 10% of that required by the older IEEE 802.1D
STP standard. It is intended as a complete replacement for STP, but can still interoperate with
switches running the older standard by automatically reconfiguring ports to STP-compliant
mode if they detect STP protocol messages from attached devices.
(3) IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree - The IEEE 802.1s is the supplement to IEEE Std 802.1Q
adds the facility for VLAN bridges to use multiple spanning trees, providing for traffic belonging
to different VLANs to flow over potentially different paths within the virtual bridged LAN.802.1s
supports spanning tree by per VLAN.
Fast Link
STP can take up to 30-60 seconds to converge. During this time, STP detects possible loops,
allowing time for status changes to propagate and for relevant Ethernet Switch Modules to
respond. 30-60 seconds is considered too long of a response time for many applications. The
Fast Link option bypasses this delay, and can be used in network topologies where forwarding
loops do not occur.
Link Aggregation
One Aggregated Links may be defined, with up to 6 member ports, to form a single Link
Aggregated Group (LAG). This enables:
• Fault tolerance protection from physical link disruption
• Higher bandwidth connections
• Improved bandwidth granularity
• High bandwidth server connectivity
LAG is composed of ports with the same speed, set to full-duplex operation.
Link Aggregation and LACP
LACP uses peer exchanges across links to determine, on an ongoing basis, the aggregation
capability of various links, and continuously provides the maximum level of aggregation
capability achievable between a given pair of systems. LACP automatically determines,
configures, binds and monitors the port binding to aggregators within the system.
BootP and DHCP Clients
DHCP enables additional setup parameters to be received from a network server upon system
startup. DHCP service is an on-going process. DHCP is an extension to BootP. For more
information on DHCP, see "Defining DHCP IP Interface Parameters".
2.1.4
Ethernet Switch Module Management Features
The PRIMERGY BX600 can either be managed through the console port (out-of-band
management) or through the network (in-band management) with SNMP, TELNET or HTTP
protocols.
Various Files of Management Operation:
There are three types of files for the PRIMERGY BX600:
z
Š
Configuration Files: The file stores system configuration information
Š
Operation Code: Executed after system boot-up, also known as Run Time Image
Š BootRom Image: The images brought up by loader when power up. Also known as POST
(Power On Self-Test)
Due to the size of flash memory, the PRIMERGY BX600 supports only two copies for
Configuration files and Operation Code respectively, but only one copy for BootRom
Image.
z
Duplication of Management file
The PRIMERGY BX600 can copy those three types of files in three different ways.
1.
Local file to local file copy: The PRIMERGY BX600 can copy an existed local
Configuration File to another local file. Copy exited local Operation Code to another
local file is not permitted.
2.
Remote TFTP Server to Local file copy: The PRIMERGY BX600 can support to
download Configuration File or Operation Code from remote server to local file.
3.
Local file to remote server: The PRIMERGY BX600 can support to upload an existed
local Configuration File to the remote server.
4.
Running Config to local file copy
5.
Running Config to remote TFTP server
6.
Local file to Running Config copy
7.
Remote TFTP server to Running Config copy
Select Start-up Files
Users can select one of two copies for Configuration Files and Operation Codes as start-up file
which is used as default bootup configuration and execution image, And the other copy of
Configuration File and Operation Code will be used for backup.
Save Configuration as file
Users can save the running configuration as a file for future use. This newly saved
configuration file can be selected as start-up file later on. Or users can upload this saved
configuration to the remote server for backup.
Provision
The PRIMERGY BX600 allows users to select the Configuration files to configure the system.
There are two timings to configure system: Start-up and Run time.
y
Start-up: Select the Configuration File for start-up purpose.
y
Run time: Users can choose a new configuration file to reconfigure the system while
system running, without rebooting the system. This function is available for CLI only.
SNMP Alarms and Trap Logs
The system logs events with severity codes and timestamps. Events are sent as SNMP traps
to a Trap Recipient List.
SNMP Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) over the UDP/IP protocol. To control access to
the system, a list of community entries is defined, each of which consists of a community string
and its access privileges. There are 2 levels of SNMP security read-only and read-write.
Web Based Management
With web based management, the system can be managed from any web browser. The
system contains an Embedded Web Server (EWS), which serves HTML pages, through which
the system can be monitored and configured. The system internally converts web-based input
into configuration commands, MIB variable settings and other management-related settings.
Configuration File Download and Upload
The Ethernet Switch Module configuration is stored in a configuration file. The Configuration
file includes both system wide and port specific Ethernet Switch Module configuration. The
system can display configuration files in the form of a collection of CLI commands, which are
stored and manipulated as text files.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
The Ethernet Switch Module supports
upload/download via TFTP.
boot
image,
software
and
configuration
Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an extension to SNMP, which provides comprehensive network
traffic monitoring capabilities (as opposed to SNMP which allows network Ethernet Switch
Module management and monitoring). RMON is a standard MIB that defines current and
historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects, allowing real-time information to be captured
across the entire network.
Command Line Interface
Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and semantics conform as much as possible to common
industry practice. CLI is composed of mandatory and optional elements. The CLI interpreter
provides command and keyword completion to assist user and shorten typing.
Syslog
Syslog is a protocol that allows event notifications to be sent to a set of remote servers, where
they can be stored, examined and acted upon. Multiple mechanisms are implemented to send
notification of significant events in real time, and keep a record of these events for after-the-fact
usage.
SNTP
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) assures accurate network Ethernet Switch Module
clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a
network SNTP server. Time sources are established by Stratums. Stratums define the distance
from the reference clock. The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest) the more accurate
the clock is.
2.1.5
Security Features
SSL
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of
data through privacy, authentication, and data integrity. It relies upon certificates and public
and private keys. SSL version 3 and TLS version 1 are currently supported.
Port Based Authentication (802.1x)SSL
Port based authentication enables authenticating system users on a per-port basis via an
external server. Only authenticated and approved system users can transmit and receive data.
Ports are authenticated via the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server
using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Locked Port Support
Locked Port increases network security by limiting access on a specific port only to users with
specific MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually defined or learned on that port.
When a frame is seen on a locked port, and the frame source MAC address is not tied to that
port, the protection mechanism is invoked.
RADIUS Client
RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol. A RADIUS server maintains a user database, which
contains per-user authentication information, such as user name, password and accounting
information. For more information, see "Configuring RADIUS Global Parameters".
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to an Ethernet
Switch Module. SSH version 1 and version 2 are currently supported. The SSH server feature
enables an SSH client to establish a secure, encrypted connection with a Ethernet Switch
Module. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an inbound telnet connection.
SSH uses RSA Public Key cryptography for Ethernet Switch Module connections and
authentication.
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the Ethernet Switch
Module. TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining
consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes.
2.1.6
Quality of Service Features
The PRIMERGY BX600 support the mapping of DSCP (Differentiated Service Code Point) to
CoS queues. Therefore, packet with different DSCP value can be scheduled to separated CoS
queues for different services. DSCP definition is backward compatible with TOS definition.
Hence PRIMERGY BX600 also support the mapping of TOS to CoS queues. And packet with
difference precedence can be scheduled to different prioritized CoS queues.
Access Control List (ACLs)
Packet filtering can help limit network traffic and restrict network use by certain users or
devices. ACLs filter traffic as it passes through a switch and permit or deny packets crossing
specified interfaces or VLANs. An ACL is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions
that apply to packets. When a packet is received on an interface, the switch compares the
fields in the packet against any applied ACLs to verify that the packet has the required
permissions to be forwarded, based on the criteria specified in the access lists. The first match
decides whether the switch accepts or rejects the packets. Because the switch stops testing
after the first match, the order of conditions in the list is critical. If no conditions match, the
switch rejects the packet. If there are no restrictions, the switch forwards the packet; otherwise,
the switch drops the packet. The switch can use ACLs on all packets it forwards, including
packets bridged within a VLAN.
These access lists are supported on Layer 2 interfaces: Standard IP access lists using source
addresses and Extended IP access lists using source and destination addresses and optional
protocol type Information. The switch examines ACLs associated with all inbound features
configured on a given interface and permits or denies packet forwarding based on how the
packet matches the entries in the ACL. In this way, ACLs are used to control access to a
network or to part of a network.
An ACL is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions. The switch tests packets
against the conditions in an access list. The first match determines whether the switch accepts
or rejects the packet. Because the switch stops testing after the first match, the order of the
conditions is critical. If no conditions match, the switch denies the packet.
The PRIMERGY BX600 supports these types of ACLs or access lists for IP:
• Standard IP access lists use source addresses for matching operations.
• Extended IP access lists use source and destination addresses for matching operations and
optional protocol-type information for finer granularity of control.
Standard ACLs are the oldest type of ACL. Standard ACLs control traffic by comparing the
source address of the IP packets to the addresses configured in the ACLs. Extended ACLs
control traffic by comparing the source and destination addresses of the IP packets to the
addresses configured in the ACLs. Rules can be configured to inspect up to six fields of a
packet: Source IP, Destination IP, Source L4 Port, Destination L4 Port, TOS Byte, Protocol
Number.
Strict Scheduling for Priority Queue
In addition to WRR, PRIMERGY BX600 also supports Strict scheduling ensures that the
highest priority packets will always get serviced first, ahead of all other traffic, and that the
other three queues will be serviced using WRR scheduling.
WRR (Weighted Round Robin)
The PRIMERGY BX600 supports Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling. The WRR
queuing algorithm ensures that the lower priority packets are not entirely starved for bandwidth
and are serviced without compromising the priority settings administered by the network
manager.
Differentiated Services
Network resources are apportioned based on traffic classification and priority, giving
preferential treatment to data with strict timing requirements according to network management
policy. The PRIMERGY BX600 supports the Differentiated Services(Diffserv). The Diffserv is a
method of offering quality-of-service treatment for network traffic without the need for a
resource reservation protocol. An administration specifically provisions the network equipment
to identify the following: The classes of traffic in the network & The QoS treatment the classes
of traffic receive.
Diffserv controls the traffic acceptance throughout the DiffServ domain, the traffic transmission
throughout the Diffserv domain and the bandwidth guarantee within the network nodes. By
controlling the acceptance, the transmission and bandwidth, a policy-based range of services
is established.
There are 3 keys QoS building blocks to configure Diffserv. Class, Policy and Services.
2.1.7
Layer III Routing Features
IP Routing
The PRIMERGY BX600 IP Routing layer (IPv4 support) contains the IP Forwarding layer,
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Mapping Layer, and Routing Table Object (RTO).
PRIMERGY BX600 also provides that each port which is be configured to participate in the
routed network.
The IP Routing layer provides the following functions:
ARP Mapping (Table)/Static ARP
For maintaining the ARP Table used to correlate IP and MAC addresses. The table
contains both static entries configured by user and entries dynamically updated based on
information in received ARP frames.
Static ARP can be defined in the ARP table. When static entries are defined, a permanent
entry is entered and is used to translate IP address to MAC address.
Routing Table Object (RTO)
The Routing Table Object manages a common routing table for all registered routing
protocols.
IP Forwarding Layer
The IP Forwarding layer forwards received IP packets that cannot be forwarded through
the hardware.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
The Routing Information Protocol, or RIP, has been a long-standing protocol used by routers
for exchanging route information. RIP is a distance vector protocol whereby each route is
characterized by the number of gateways, or hops, a packet must traverse to reach its intended
destination. RIP categorized as an interior gateway protocol and operates within the scope of
an autonomous system.
RIP is designed such that its routers send the contents of their routing table every 30 seconds
to each adjacent router. These periodic updates allow routes to remain active in the route table;
absence of a route from the updates causes the route to be declared unusable after 180
seconds have elapsed, and to be removed from the table after an additional 120 seconds
passes without the route appearing in an update message.
Two versions of RIP are in current use:
RIPv1 defined in RFC 1058
- The RIP routing messages are specified by IP destination network and hop count and not
include the concept of subnets.
- The RIP routing messages are broadcast to all stations on the attached network.
RIPv2 defined in RFC 172
- The RIP routing messages are extended to include subnet mask and gateway
information.
- For network traffic, the RIP routing message is sent to a multicast address.
- Add an authentication scheme to improve security for updating route tables.
RIPv2 enhancements defined in RFC 2453
- An implementation of RIP must use simple split horizon and use spilt horizon with
poisoned reverse.
- An implementation of RIP must implement triggered update for deleted routes and may
implement triggered updates for new routes or change of routes. RIP implementations
must also limit the rate at which triggered updates may be transmitted.
- An implementation of RIP should support host routes.
The PRIMERGY BX600 Managed Switch supports both versions of RIP.
BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent
In the majority of network configurations, BOOTP/DHCP clients and their associated servers
do not reside on the same IP network or subnet. Therefore, some kind of third-party agent is
required to transfer BOOTP/DHCP messages between clients and servers. Such an agent is
known as a "BOOTP/DHCP relay agent”.
PRIMERGY BX600 Relay Agent also will support to relays BOOTP and DHCP requests. The
agent relays requests from a subnet without a BOOTP/DHCP server to a server or next-hop
agent on another subnet. BOOTP/DHCP relay agent only processes BOOTP/DHCP messages
and generates new BOOTP/DHCP messages as a result.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
PRIMERGY BX600 supports Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to
provide backup for the failing router without requiring any action on the part of the end station.
It is based on the concept of having more than one router recognize the same IP address. One
of the routers is elected the “master” router and handles all traffic sent to the specified virtual
router IP address. If the master router fails, one of the backup routers will be elected in its place,
and will start handling traffic sent to the address. This change will be transparent to end
stations.
VRRP increases the availability of the default path without requiring configuration of dynamic
routing or router discovery protocols on every end station. The greater default path availability
is accomplished by using any of the virtual router IP addresses on the LAN as the default first
hop router for the end stations. Multiple virtual routers can be defined on a single router
interface on, but only one IP address can be assigned to a given virtual router.
Router Discovery
The router discovery messages do not constitute a routing protocol. Instead, the router
discovery messages enable hosts to discover the existence of neighboring routers through the
use of router advertisement. Router advertisement is unsuitable for determining the best route
to a particular destination. If a host chooses a poor first-hop router for a particular destination, it
should receive an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Redirect from that router,
identifying a better one.
PRIMERGY BX600 router discovery, a router periodically multicasts a Router Advertisement
from each of its multicast interfaces, announcing the IP address(es) of that interface. Hosts
discover the addresses of their neighboring routers simply by listening for advertisements.
Since a host knows the address of its neighbors, the host can send IP data grams beyond its
directly attached subnet.
Virtual LAN (VLAN) Routing
PRIMERGY BX600 incorporates both 802.1Q VLAN bridging and routing functions. The
internal bridging function can be an interface to the routing function and the routing function
can be an interface to the bridging function will support. Even though PRIMERGY BX600
supports both 802.1Q VLAN bridging and routing functions, each port cannot operate as both a
router port and an 802.1Q bridge port.
When a port is enabled for bridging (the default) rather than routing, all normal bridge
processing is performed for an inbound packet associated with a VLAN. Its MAC Destination
Address (DA) and VLAN ID are used to search the MAC address table and the packet was
forwarded depend on MAC table. If routing is enabled for the VLAN and the MAC DA of an
inbound unicast packet is that of the internal bridge-router interface, the packet will be routed.
An inbound multicast packet will be forwarded to all ports in the VLAN, plus the internal
bridge-router interface if it was received on a routed VLAN.
Route Redistribution
Route Redistribution allows routers running different routing protocols to exchange routing
information on the network. A route redistribution implementation must consider that different
routing protocols use different ways of expressing the distance to a destination. Also routing
metrics in different protocols may have different formats and allow a different range of values.
For example,
the RIP route metric is a single integer from 1 to 16.
the OSPF route metric is a 24 bit integer.
PRIMERGY BX600 implementation of route redistribution has the following configuration
characteristics:
- For each routing protocol (OSPF, RIP), the administrator may specify which routes are
redistributed (OSPF, RIP, static, connected).
- When OSPF redistributes, the administrator may optionally specify a metric, metric type
(external type 1 or external type 2), and a tag value. The administrator may specify
whether OSPF redistributes subnetted routes.
- When RIP redistributes, the administrator may optionally specify a metric. When RIP
redistributes from OSPF, the administrator may specify one or more types of OSPF routes
to be accepted. Valid values are internal, external 1, external 2, NSSA external 1, and
NSSA external 2.
- For each pair of source and destination routing protocols, the administrator may
optionally specify an access list to filter routes by destination address and mask.
Route Preferences
Use route preference to configure the default preference for each protocol (e.g. 60 for static
routes, 150 for OSPF Type-2). These values are arbitrary values in the range of 1 to 255 and are
independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to determine the
shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol.
The best route to a destination is selected by using the route with the lowest preference value.
When there are multiple routes to a destination, the preference values are used to determine
the preferred route. If there is still a tie, the route with the best route metric will be chosen. To
avoid problems with mismatched metrics (i.e. RIP and OSPF metrics are not directly
comparable) you must configure different preference values for each of the protocols.
The references configure value is below:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Static - The static route preference value in the router. The default value is 1. The range is 1 to
255.
OSPF Intra - The OSPF intra route preference value in the router. The default value is 8. The
range is 1 to 255. The OSPF specification (RFC 2328) requires that preferences must be given
to the routes learned via OSPF in the following order: intra < inter < type-1 < type-2.
OSPF Inter - The OSPF inter route preference value in the router. The default value is 10. The
range is 1 to 255. The OSPF specification (RFC 2328) requires that preferences must be given
to the routes learned via OSPF in the following order: intra < inter < type-1 < type-2.
OSPF Type-1 - The OSPF type-1 route preference value in the router. The default value is 13.
The range is 1 to 255. The OSPF specification (RFC 2328) requires that preferences must be
given to the routes learned via OSPF in the following order: intra < inter < type-1 < type-2.
OSPF Type-2 - The OSPF type-2 route preference value in the router. The default value is 150.
The range is 1 to 255. The OSPF specification (RFC 2328) requires that preferences must be
given to the routes learned via OSPF in the following order: intra < inter < type-1 < type-2.
RIP - The RIP route preference value in the router. The default value is 15. The range is 1 to
255.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol uses within larger autonomous networks in
preference to RIP. OSPF is a link-state protocol that multicasts table updates only when a
change has taken place and transmits only the changed portion of the table. To give
preferences to certain routes, OSPF uses both administratively assigned costs for a given
router and link-states as metrics. In addition, OSPF supports variable-length subnet masks.
OSPF can operate within a hierarchy. The largest entity within the hierarchy is the autonomous
system (AS), a collection of networks under a common administration sharing a common
routing strategy. This is sometimes called a routing domain. An AS can be divided into a number
of areas or groups of contiguous networks and attached hosts. Routers within the same area
share the same information, so they have identical topological databases. Information is sent in
the form of link-state advertisements (LSAs) to all other routers within the same hierarchical
area. An area's topology is not visible to routers outside the area.
Two different types of OSPF routing occur as a result of area partitioning: Intra-area and
Interarea. Intra-area routing occurs if a source and destination are in the same area. Inter-area
routing occurs when a source and destination are in different areas. An OSPF backbone
distributes information between areas.
PRIMERGY BX600 supports OSPF version 2 in accordance with RFC 2328. PRIMERGY
BX600 also provides a compatibility mode for the RFC 1583 OSPF specification, which allows
interoperability with OSPF version 2 routers using the older implementation.
DNS and DNS Relay
The DNS protocol controls the Domain Name System (DNS), a distributed database with
which you can map host names to IP addresses. When you configure DNS on your switch, you
can substitute the host name for the IP address with all IP commands, such as ping, telnet,
traceroute, and related Telnet support operations.
To keep track of domain names, IP has defined the concept of a domain name server, which
holds a cache (or database) of names mapped to IP addresses. To map domain names to IP
addresses, you must first identify the host names, specify the name server that is present on
your network, and enable the DNS.
DNS relay acts as a forwarder between the DNS Clients and the DNS Servers. PRIMERGY
BX600 DNS Relay designed for home/office users that don’t need to know name server also
can access to Internet. Only setting DNS server on client station points toward that switch.
IP Multinetting
PRIMERGY BX600 support an IP Multinetting function. It is the process of configuring more
than one IP address on a network interface. IP Multinetting is also synonymously called IP
Aliasing or Secondary Addressing. Typical uses of IP Multinetting are:
Reorganizing servers with no other machine updates.
Virtual hosting of Web and FTP servers
2.1.8
IP Multicast Features
IGMPv3
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is the multicast group membership discovery
protocol. Three versions of IGMP exist. Versions 1 and 2 are widely deployed. Since IGMP is
used between end systems (often desktops) and the multicast router, the version of IGMP
required depends on the end-user operating system being supported. Any implementation of
IGMP must support all earlier versions.
The following list describes the basic operation of IGMP, common to all versions. A multicast
router can act as both an IGMP host and an IGMP router and as a result can respond to its own
IGMP messages. The PRIMERGY BX600 implementation of IGMPv3 supports the multicast
router portion of the protocol (i.e. not the host portion). It is backward compatible with IGMPv1
and IGMPv2.
PRIMERGY BX600 IGMPv3 the multicast router function is below:
1. One router periodically broadcasts IGMP Query messages onto the network.
2. Hosts respond to the Query messages by sending IGMP Report messages indicating
their group memberships.
3. All routers receive the Report messages and note the memberships of hosts on the
network.
4. If a router does not receive a Report message for a particular group for a period of
time, the router assumes there are no more members of the group on the network.
All IGMP messages are raw IP data grams, and are sent to multicast group addresses, with a
time to leave (TTL) of 1. Since raw IP does not provide reliable transport, some messages are
sent multiple times to aid reliability.
IGMPv3 is a major revision of the protocol and provides improved group membership latency.
When a host joins a new multicast group on an interface, it immediately sends an unsolicited
IGMP Report message for that group. IGMPv2 introduced a Leave Group message, which is
sent by a host when it leaves a multicast group for which it was the last host to send an IGMP
Report message. Receipt of this message causes the Querier possibly to reduce the remaining
lifetime of its state for the group, and to send a group-specific IGMP Query message to the
multicast group. The Leave Group message is not used with IGMPv3, since the source
address filtering mechanism provides the same functionality.
IGMPv3 also allows hosts to specify the list of hosts from which they want to receive traffic.
Traffic from other hosts is blocked inside the network. It also allows hosts to block packets for
all sources sent unwanted traffic.
IGMPv3 adds the capability for a multicast router to learn which sources are of interest to
neighboring systems for packets sent to any particular multicast address. This information
gathered by IGMP is provided to the multicast routing protocol (i.e. DVMRP, PIM-DM, and
PIM-SM) that is currently active on the router in order to ensure multicast packets are delivered
to all networks where there are interested receivers.
Protocol Independent Multicast – Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols are not dependent on any particular unicast
routing protocols to construct forwarding information for multicast packets, although unicast
information is needed for forwarding packets. The Dense Mode version of PIM is most
appropriate for networks with relatively plentiful bandwidth and with at least one multicast
member in each subnet.
PIM-DM assumes that all hosts are part of a multicast group and forwards packets to hosts
until informed that group membership has changed. A group membership change results in the
multicast delivery tree being pruned.
The PIM-DM protocol operates as follows:
1. The first message for any (source, group) pair is forwarded to the entire multicast
network, with respect to the time-to-live (TTL) value in the packet.
2. TTL restricts the area flooded by the packet.
3. All leaf routers with no members in a directly attached subnet send prune messages
to the upstream router.
4. Any branch for which a prune message is received is deleted from the delivery tree.
PRIMERGY BX600 will use PIM-DM’s RPF to correctly forward message. PIM-DM Reverse
Path Forwarding (RPF), which is the fundamental concept in multicast routing that enables
routers to correctly forward multicast messages down the distribution tree. RPF makes use of
the existing unicast routing table to determine the upstream and downstream neighbors and
build a source-based shortest-path distribution tree. A router forwards a multicast message
only if the multicast message is received on the upstream interface. This RPF check helps to
guarantee that the distribution tree will be loop-free.
The multicast messages contain the source and group information so that downstream routers
can build up their multicast forwarding tables. If the source goes inactive, the tree is torn down.
Multicast messages arriving at a router over the proper receiving interface (i.e., the interface
that provides the shortest path back to the source) are forwarded on all downstream interfaces
until unnecessary branches of the tree are explicitly pruned. In addition to the prune messages,
PIM-DM uses graft messages and assert messages. Graft messages are used when a new
host wants to join a group, and assert messages are used to shut off duplicate flows.
PRIMERGY BX600 PIM-DM can be enabled but will only become operational when both
routing and IGMP are enabled and operational.
Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM), like PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), uses
the unicast routing table to perform the Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) check function instead
of maintaining a separate multicast route table. Therefore, regardless of which unicast routing
protocol(s) is (are) used to populate the unicast routing table (including static routes), PIM-SM
uses this information to perform multicast forwarding; hence, it too is protocol independent.
The unicast routing table is used to determine the path that PIM control messages such as Join
messages take to get to the source subnet, and data flows along the reverse path of the Join
messages. Based on received Join/Prune messages, routers maintain a set of mappings
between the incoming interfaces and outgoing interfaces for each known multicast group.
PIM-SM uses two scenarios in the network for building information trees, which are used for
inter-domain routing. They are
- Source sending data for a multicast group
- Receiver of a multicast group requesting data
In both the above scenarios PIM-SM makes use of the following concepts
Rendezvous Point (RP): RP is the root of a shared distribution tree down which all multicast
traffic flows.
Designated Router (DR): DR is responsible for sending 'Join' messages to the RP for
members on the network and for sending 'Register' messages to the RP for sources on the
network.
PIM-SM is used to efficiently route multicast traffic to multicast groups that may span wide area
networks and where bandwidth is a constraint. PIM-SM uses shared trees by default and
implements source-based trees for efficiency this data threshold rate is used to toggle between
trees. PIM-SM assumes that no hosts want the multicast traffic unless they specifically ask for
it. It creates a shared distribution tree centered on a defined “rendezvous point” (RP) from
which source traffic is relayed to the receivers. Senders first send the multicast data to the RP,
which in turn sends the data down the shared tree to the receivers. Shared trees centered on a
RP do not necessarily provide the shortest/optimal path. In such cases PIM-SM provides a
means to switch to more efficient source specific trees.
The PRIMERGY BX600 IP Multicast implementation of PIM-SM supports both automatic RP
router election and user specified RP designation.
Automatic RP determination
The RP for a given IP group address (G) may be determined by the protocols specified in
section 2.6 of RFC 2362. PRIMERGY BX600 supports these protocols.
Static RP designation
The user may specify which router shall be the RP for a given IP group address via the
user interface. This information will be used to designate the RP for the group if no
information for the group address has been obtained via the automatic RP determination
protocols. Note that if the router learns of an RP for a group via the automatic mechanism
it will take priority over a static designation.
Source Sending Data
As soon as an active source sends a packet to the DR that is attached to this source, the DR is
responsible for “Registering” this source with the RP and requesting the RP to build a tree back
to that DR. The DR encapsulates the multicast data from the source in a special PIM-SM
message called the 'Register message' with the multicast data encapsulated in the message.
After the sources register with the RP the data is forwarded down the shared tree to the
receivers.
Receiver Requesting Data
PIM Sparse mode uses the explicit join model whereby; the receivers send PIM Join messages
to a designated “Rendezvous Point” (RP). In order to join a multicast group G, a host (receiver)
conveys the membership information through the IGMP to DR. When a DR gets a membership
indication from IGMP for a new group, DR looks up the RP associated to the group and sends
a join message to the RP.
The router can switch to a source's shortest path tree (SP- tree) if the data rate of packets
received from a specific source over the shared tree exceeds the threshold value during a
specified time interval. The routers (RP and the last hop DR of the receiver) dynamically create
a source specific shortest path tree using Join/Prune messages and stop traffic from flowing
down the shared RP tree (using Register Stop Messages when the RP has no downstream
receivers for the group or that particular source) when the data rate reaches a threshold value.
Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP)
The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is a hop-based method of building
multicast delivery trees from multicast sources to all nodes of a network. The delivery trees are
built by pruned and grafted messages, therefore the tree is shortest path to multicast source
and is relatively efficient. The multicast group information forward by a distance-vector
algorithm, therefore, the propagation is slow. DVMRP is used for optimized high delay (high
latency) relatively low bandwidth networks.
DVMRP resembles the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The DVMRP module exchanges
probe packets and report packet with the multicast group member hosts sitting in the directly
connected network. Based on the information exchange, the DVMRP module creates a
database (multicast routing table) for each of the interfaces in the multicast router.
The database consists of information types as:
Multicast group entries
Timers
Counters
Flags
Dependencies
States
The multicast router uses the database of information to route multicast packets from the
source (that is not sitting in the same LAN as the hosts) to the member hosts.
2.2 Description of Hardware
Ethernet Switch Module Port Configurations
PRIMERGY BX600 Front Panel Port Description
The PRIMERGY BX600 Ethernet Switch Module contains 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports for
connecting to the network, 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting PRIMERGY BX Blade
Server management MMB modules, and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting PRIMERGY
BX600 Ethernet Switch.
The 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. These ports support auto
negotiation, duplex mode (Half or Full duplex), and flow control. The 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports
that connect to server modules can only operate at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex. These 30 ports also
support flow control. The two inter-link ports connected two BX600 Ethernet Switches through
Mid-plane. They can only operate at 1000Mbps, full-duplex.
The following figure illustrates the PRIMERGY BX600 front panel.

2.2.1
Ethernet Ports
Up-link Ports
12 external RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode, and flow
control. Each port can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex, and
control the data stream to prevent buffers from overflowing. The up-link ports can be connected
to other IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliant devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) away using
Category 5 twisted-pair cable. These ports also feature automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so
you can use straight-through cables for all connections. These up-link ports are named g31 –
g42 in the configuration interface.
Note – Note that when using auto-negotiation, the speed, transmission mode and flow
control can be automatically set if this feature is also supported by the attached device.
Otherwise, these items can be manually configured for any connection.
Note – Auto-negotiation must be enabled for automatic MDI/MDI-X pin-out configuration.
Internal Ports
The switch also includes 30 internal 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet ports that connect to the
server blades in the chassis. These ports are fixed at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. The internal ports
are named g1 – g30 in the configuration interface.
Inter-Link Ports
The switch also includes 2 internal 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet ports that connect two switch
blades in the chassis. These ports are fixed at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. The internal ports are
named g42 – g43 in the configuration interface.

3 Network Planning
3.1 Introduction to Switching
A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non- crossbar
switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers.
The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for
today’s networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access point (e.g.,
the network card for a high-volume file server), the device experiencing the congestion (e.g., a
server or user) can be attached directly to a switched port. This allocates the full bandwidth of
the Ethernet segment to the devices attached to a single port on the switch. And, when
operating at full- duplex, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be doubled to further
maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the maximum distance between end
stations is limited. For traditional Ethernet, there may be up to four hubs between any pair of
stations; for Fast Ethernet, the maximum is two. This is known as the hop count. However, a
switch turns the hop count back to zero, subdividing the network into smaller and more
manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, thereby
removing this limitation.
The Switch Blade can be easily configured into any Ethernet network to signifi- cantly boost
bandwidth, while using conventional cabling and network cards.
3.2 Sample Applications
The switch is designed to consolidate your network core providing high- bandwidth
connections between the server chassis and workgroup switches. Some typical applications
are described in this section.
3.2.1
Backbone Connection
The switch can connect to the network backbone or other key sites over high- speed Gigabit
Ethernet links, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the uplink ports are providing 2 Gbps full-duplex connectivity to the
corporate backbone, to the Internet, and to other servers.
Figure 2: Backbone Connection
3.2.2
Making VLAN Connections
This switch supports Virtual LANs (VLANs) which can be used to organize any group of
network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the
originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more
secure and cleaner network environment.
VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the
VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs can be used for small networks attached to
a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the
VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links.
Figure 3: Making Vlan Connection
i
When connecting to a switch or other network device that does not support
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags, use untagged ports.
1000BASE-T Pin Assignments
Making Network Connections
4 Making Network Connections
The Switch Blade connects server boards installed inside the system to a common switch
fabric, and also provides three external ports for uplinking to external IEEE 802.3ab compliant
devices. For most applications, the external ports on the switch will be connected to other
switches in the network backbone.It may also be connected directly to Gigabit Ethernet
network cards in PCs or servers.
i
Before connecting cables, you may want to first configure the Spanning Tree Protocol to
avoid network loops. Refer to “Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration” on page 60 for
more information.
4.1 Connecting to 1000BASE-T Devices
The data ports on the switch operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, full and half
duplex, with support for auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode and flow control. You can
connect any data port on the switch to any server or workstation, or uplink to a network device
such as another switch or a router. The 1000BASE-T standard uses four pairs of Category 5
twisted-pair cable for connections up to a maximum length of 100 m (328 feet).
i
For 1000 Mbps operation, you should first test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab
1000BASE-T compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page 34 for more
information.
1. Prepare the devices you wish to network. For 1000 Mbps operation, make sure that
servers and workstations have installed 1000BASE-T network interface cards. Other
network devices should have RJ-45 ports that comply with the IEEE 802.3ab
1000BASE-T standard.
2. Prepare shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables (straight-through or crossover)
with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use 100-ohm Category 5
(Category 5e or better is recommended) cable for 1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet connections.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device, and the other end
to any available RJ-45 port on the switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the switch.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
!
38
Lan Switch and Router Blade
standards.
i
For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire pairs in the cable must be connected. When
auto-negotiation is enabled, the 1000BASE-T ports support the auto MDI/MDI-X feature,
which means that at any operating speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps), either straight-through
or crossover cables can be used to connect to any server, workstation, or other network
device. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). (Note
that auto-negotiation must be enabled to support auto MDI/MDI-X.)
4.2 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for
1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that
for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5)
cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only
recommenda- tions for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5
cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.
4.2.1
Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and
Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing infor- mation is specified in the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for Return
Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100
Ohm 4- Pair Category 5 Cabling”.
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between
switches and end devices.
4.2.2
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling for 1000BASE-T
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for
1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and correct the
problem:
1.
Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e cables.
2.
Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3.
Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
4.3 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments
1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through
cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches. (Auto-negotiation
must be enabled to support auto MDI/MDI-X.)
The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports require that
all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires
are used for both transmit and receive.
Use 100-ohm Category 5 or 5e unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP)
cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

5.3 Start up and Configuration the Ethernet Switch Module
It’s important to understand the Ethernet Switch Module architecture when configuring the
Ethernet Switch Module. The Ethernet Switch Module has two types of ports. One type is for
interfacing the Ethernet Switch Module with PRIMERGY BX Blade Server, and the other type
are regular Ethernet ports used for connecting PRIMERGY BX Blade Server to the network.
The Ethernet Switch Module module is connected to PRIMERGY BX Blade Server
(Management Board) MMB through 30 internal ports called the Internal Ports. The maximum
link speed through the Internal Ports is 1 Gigabit per port. The port configuration ID’s are g1 to
g30. To connect the Ethernet Switch Module module to the network there are 12 PHY based
ports called the External ports. The external 12 ports are 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports.
The port configuration ID’s are g31 to g42.
The default configuration of the internal and external ports are as follows:
Table 5 -1. Port Default Settings
Figure 5 -1. Installation and Configuration Flow
5.4 Configuring the Terminal
To configure the device, the station must be running terminal emulation software. Ensure that
switch module is correctly mounted and is connected to the chassis serial port. Ensure that the
terminal emulation software is set as follows: Connect PRIMERGY BX Blade Server serial port
to the Ethernet Switch Module.
NOTE:
1.

3.
4.
5.
The default data rate is 9600. No other data rate is required for initial configuration.
Sets the data format to 9600 baudrate 9600,8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Sets Flow Control to none.
Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is
for Terminal keys (not Windows keys).
For accessing switch module from terminal perform following steps:
Connect your terminal to the serial port of the Chassis.Power up the Chassis and observe
booting information (if Chassis is running press <Enter> few times to ensure that terminal
connection is successful).
5.5 Booting Device
• The device is delivered with a default configuration.
• The device is not configured with a default user name and password.

Switch Module goes through Power On Self Test (POST). POST runs every time the device is
initialized and checks hardware components to determine if the device is fully operational
before completely booting. If a critical problem is detected, the program flow stops. If POST
passes successfully, a valid executable image is loaded into RAM. POST messages are
displayed on the terminal and indicate test success or failure.
As the device boots, the bootup test first counts the device memory availability and then
continues to boot. The following screen is an example of the displayed POST:
------------ Performing Power-On Self Tests (POST) -------------System SDRAM Test..........…………….........PASS
CPU Self Test......................………………….PASS
UART Loopback Test.................……………..PASS
Flash Memory Initialize............……………….PASS
Flash Memory Checksum Test.........………...PASS
PCI Bus Initialize and Test........………………PASS
System Timer Test..................………………..PASS
---------------Power-On Self Test Completed--------------------------The boot process runs approximately 60 seconds.
The auto-boot message displayed at the end of POST (see the last lines) indicates that no
problems were encountered during boot. During the BootROM Back Door Command Line
Interface can be used to run special procedures. To enter the BootROM Back Door CLI menu,
press <Ctrl-B> within the first two seconds after the auto-boot message is displayed. If the
system boot process is not interrupted by pressing <Ctrl-B>, the process continues
decompressing and loading the code into RAM. The code starts running from RAM and the list
of numbered system ports and their states (up or down) are displayed. After the device boots
successfully, a system prompt is displayed ((FSC Routing) #) which is used to configure the
device. However, before configuring the device, ensure that the latest software version is
installed on the device. If it is not the latest version, download and install the latest version. For
more information on downloading the latest version see the "Software Download"

6 Web-Based Management Interface
6.1 Overview
The BX600 Network Switch Blade provides a built-in browser software interface that lets you
configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This software interface also allows for system monitoring and
management of the Network Switch. When you configure this Network Switch for the first time
from the console, you have to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the Network Switch.
Thereafter, you can access the Network Switch’s Web software interface directly using your
Web browser by entering the switch’s IP address into the address bar. In this way, you can use
your Web browser to manage the Switch from any remote PC station, just as if you were
directly connected to the Network Switch’s console port.
The 6 menu options available are: System, Switching, Routing, Security, QOS and IP
Multicast.

6.2.1.3.7. Defining Authentication List Configuration Page
You use this screen to configure login lists. A login list specifies the authentication method(s)
you want used to validate switch or port access for the users associated with the list. The
pre-configured users, admin and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named defaultList,
which you may not delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you
specifically assign them to a different list
Selection Criteria
Authentication List - Select the authentication login list you want to configure. Select
'create' to define a new login list. When you create a new login list, 'local' is set as the initial
authentication method.
Configurable Data
Authentication List Name - If you are creating a new login list, enter the name you want
to assign. It can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.
Method 1 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method that should appear first in the
selected authentication login list. If you select a method that does not time out as the first
method, such as 'local' no other method will be tried, even if you have specified more than
one method. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create a new login list.
The options are:
Local- the user's locally stored ID and password will be used for authentication
Radius- the user's ID and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server
instead of locally
Reject- the user is never authenticated
Tacacs- the user's ID and password will be authenticated using the TACACS server
instead of locally
Undefined- the authentication method is unspecified (this may not be assigned as the
first method)
Main Menu
Web-Based Management Interface
Method 2 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear
second in the selected authentication login list. This is the method that will be used if the
first method times out. If you select a method that does not time out as the second method,
the third method will not be tried. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first
create a new login list.
Method 3 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear third
in the selected authentication login list. Note that this parameter will not appear when you
first create a new login list.
Command Buttons

6.2.1.3.10.
Defining User Login Page
Note: This page provides a user account (from those already created) to be added into
the Authentication List.
Each configured user is assigned to a login list that specifies how the user should be
authenticated when attempting to access the switch or a port on the switch. After creating a
new user account on the User Account screen, you should assign that user to a login list for the
switch using this screen and, if necessary, to a login list for the ports using the Port Access
Control User Login Configuration screen. If you need to create a new login list for the user, you
would do so on the Login Configuration screen.
The pre-configured users, admin and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named
Main Menu
Web-Based Management Interface
defaultList, which you may not delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the
defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list.
A user that does not have an account configured on the switch is termed the 'default' or
'non-configured' user. If you assign the 'non-configured user' to a login list that specifies
authentication via the RADIUS server, you will not need to create an account for all users on
each switch. However, by default the 'non-configured user' is assigned to 'defaultList', which by
default uses local authentication.
Selection Criteria
User - Select the user you want to assign to a login list. Note that you must always
associate the admin user with the default list. This forces the admin user to always be
authenticated locally to prevent full lockout from switch configuration. If you assign a user
to a login list that requires remote authentication, the user's access to the switch from all
CLI, web, and telnet sessions will be blocked until the authentication is complete. Refer to
the discussion of maximum delay in the RADIUS configuration help.
Configurable Data
Authentication List - Select the authentication login list you want to assign to the user for
system login.

Defining SNMP
6.2.1.7.1. Configuring SNMP Community Configuration Page
By default, two SNMP Communities exist:
private, with 'Read/Write' privileges and status set to enable
public, with 'Read Only' privileges and status set to enable
These are well-known communities, you can use this menu to change the defaults or to add
other communities. Only the communities that you define using this menu will have access to
the switch using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols. Only those communities with read-write
level access will have access to this menu via SNMP.
You should use this menu when you are using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocol: if you want
to use SNMP v3 you should use the User Accounts menu.
Configurable Data
SNMP Community Name - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing community,
or to create a new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing community
names, or select 'Create' to add a new one. A valid entry is a case-sensitive string of up to
16 characters. The default community names are public and private.
Client IP Address - Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a
range of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this
device. If either (IP Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP
address. Otherwise, every client's IP address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client IP
Address, and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client IP
Address and Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client
whose IP address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access.
To allow access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and
use that machine's IP address for Client IP Address.
Client IP Mask - Taken together, the Client IP Address and Client IP Mask denote a range
of IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this device. If
either (IP Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP address.

Managing Protocol-based VLAN
6.2.2.2.1. Protocol-based VLAN Configuration Page
You can use a protocol-based VLAN to define filtering criteria for untagged packets. By default,
if you do not configure any port- (IEEE 802.1Q) or protocol-based VLANs, untagged packets
will be assigned to VLAN 1. You can override this behavior by defining either port-based
VLANs or protocol-based VLANs, or both. Tagged packets are always handled according to the
IEEE 802.1Q standard, and are not included in protocol-based VLANs.
If you assign a port to a protocol-based VLAN for a specific protocol, untagged frames received
on that port for that protocol will be assigned the protocol-based VLAN ID. Untagged frames
received on the port for other protocols will be assigned the Port VLAN ID - either the default
PVID (1) or a PVID you have specifically assigned to the port using the Port VLAN
Configuration screen.
You define a protocol-based VLAN by creating a group. Each group has a one-to-one
relationship with a VLAN ID, can include one to three protocol definitions, and can include
multiple ports. When you create a group you will choose a name and a Group ID will be
assigned automatically.
Selection Criteria
Group ID - You can use this screen to reconfigure or delete an existing protocol-based
VLAN, or create a new one. Use this pull down menu to select one of the existing
PBVLANs, or select 'Create' to add a new one. A Group ID number will be assigned
automatically when you create a new group. You can create up to 128 groups.
Configurable Data
Group Name - Use this field to assign a name to a new group. You may enter up to 16
characters.

three configurable protocols: IP, IPX, and ARP. Hold down the control key to select more
than one protocol.
IP - IP is a network layer protocol that provides a connectionless service for the
delivery of data.
ARP - Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a low-level protocol that dynamically
maps network layer addresses to physical medium access control (MAC) addresses
IPX - The Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is a connectionless datagram
Network-layer protocol that forwards data over a network.
VLAN - VLAN can be any number in the range of (1 to 3965) . All the ports in the group will
assign this VLAN ID to untagged packets received for the protocols you included in this

The statistics reported on this panel are as specified in RFC 1213.
Non-Configurable Data
IpInReceives - The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including
those received in error.
IpInHdrErrors - The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP
headers, including bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors,
time-to-live exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP options, etc.
IpInAddrErrors - The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in
their IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity.
This count includes invalid addresses (e.g., 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported
Classes (e.g., Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not
forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination
address was not a local address.
IpForwDatagrams - The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their
final IP destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward
them to that final destination. In entities which do not act as IP Gateways, this counter will
include only those packets which were Source-Routed via this entity, and the
Source-Route option processing was successful.
IpInUnknownProtos - The number of locally-addressed datagrams
successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
received
IpInDiscards - The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were
encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (e.g., for
lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded
while awaiting re-assembly.
Main Menu
Web-Based Management Interface
IpInDelivers - The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP
user-protocols (including ICMP).
IpOutRequests - The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols
(including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does
not include any datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams.
IpOutDiscards - The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was
encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded
(e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.
IpNoRoutes - The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found
to transmit them to their destination. Note that this counter includes any packets counted
in ipForwDatagrams which meet this `no-route' criterion. Note that this includes any
datagrams which a host cannot route because all of its default gateways are down.
IpReasmTimeout - The maximum number of seconds which received fragments are held
while they are awaiting reassembly at this entity.
IpReasmReqds - The number of IP fragments received which needed to be reassembled
at this entity.
IpReasmOKs - The number of IP datagrams successfully re-assembled.
IpReasmFails - The number of failures detected by the IP re-assembly algorithm (for
whatever reason: timed out, errors, etc). Note that this is not necessarily a count of
discarded IP fragments since some algorithms can lose track of the number of fragments
by combining them as they are received.
IpFragOKs - The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at this
entity.
IpFragFails - The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they
needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be, e.g., because their Don't
Fragment flag was set.
IpFragCreates - The number of IP datagram fragments that have been generated as a
result of fragmentation at this entity.
IpRoutingDiscards - The number of routing entries which were chosen to be discarded
even though they are valid. One possible reason for discarding such an entry could be to
free-up buffer space for other routing entries.
IcmpInMsgs - The total number of ICMP messages which the entity received. Note that
this counter includes all those counted by icmpInErrors.

ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Down - This is the initial interface state. In this state, the lower-level protocols have
indicated that the interface is unusable. In this state, interface parameters will be set
to their initial values. All interface timers will be disabled, and there will be no
adjacencies associated with the interface.
Loopback - In this state, the router's interface to the network is looped back either in
hardware or software. The interface is unavailable for regular data traffic. However, it
may still be desirable to gain information on the quality of this interface, either through
sending ICMP pings to the interface or through something like a bit error test. For this
reason, IP packets may still be addressed to an interface in Loopback state. To
facilitate this, such interfaces are advertised in router- LSAs as single host routes,
whose destination is the IP interface address.
Waiting - The router is trying to determine the identity of the (Backup) Designated
Router for the network by monitoring received Hello Packets. The router is not
allowed to elect a Backup Designated Router or a Designated Router until it
transitions out of Waiting state. This prevents unnecessary changes of (Backup)
Designated Router.
Designated Router - This router is itself the Designated Router on the attached
network. Adjacencies are established to all other routers attached to the network. The
router must also originate a network-LSA for the network node. The network- LSA will
contain links to all routers (including the Designated Router itself) attached to the
network.
Backup Designated Router - This router is itself the Backup Designated Router on
the attached network. It will be promoted to Designated Router if the present
Designated Router fails. The router establishes adjacencies to all other routers
attached to the network. The Backup Designated Router performs slightly different
functions during the Flooding Procedure, as compared to the Designated Router.
Other Designated Router - The interface is connected to a broadcast or NBMA
network on which other routers have been selected to be the Designated Router and
Backup Designated Router either. The router attempts to form adjacencies to both the
Designated Router and the Backup Designated Router.
The State is only displayed if the OSPF admin mode is enabled.
Designated Router - The identity of the Designated Router for this network, in the view
of the advertising router. The Designated Router is identified here by its router ID. The
value 0.0.0.0 means that there is no Designated Router. This field is only displayed if the
OSPF admin mode is enabled.
Backup Designated Router - The identity of the Backup Designated Router for this
network, in the view of the advertising router. The Backup Designated Router is identified
here by its router ID. Set to 0.0.0.0 if there is no Backup Designated Router. This field is
only displayed if the OSPF admin mode is enabled.

Router ID - A 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format that identifies the neighbor router.
Options - The optional OSPF capabilities supported by the neighbor. The neighbor's
optional OSPF capabilities are also listed in its Hello packets. This enables received Hello
Packets to be rejected (i.e., neighbor relationships will not even start to form) if there is a
mismatch in certain crucial OSPF capabilities.
Router Priority - Displays the OSPF priority for the specified neighbor. The priority of a
neighbor is a priority integer from 0 to 255. A value of '0' indicates that the router is not
eligible to become the designated router on this network.
State - The state of a neighbor can be the following:
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ

Down - This is the initial state of a neighbor conversation. It indicates that there has
been no recent information received from the neighbor. On NBMA networks, Hello
packets may still be sent to "Down" neighbors, although at a reduced frequency.
Attempt - This state is only valid for neighbors attached to NBMA networks. It
indicates that no recent information has been received from the neighbor, but that a
more concerted effort should be made to contact the neighbor. This is done by
sending the neighbor Hello packets at intervals of Hello Interval.
Init - In this state, a Hello packet has recently been seen from the neighbor. However,
bidirectional communication has not yet been established with the neighbor (i.e., the
router itself did not appear in the neighbor's Hello packet). All neighbors in this state
(or greater) are listed in the Hello packets sent from the associated interface.
2-Way - In this state, communication between the two routers is bidirectional. This
has been assured by the operation of the Hello Protocol. This is the most advanced
state short of beginning adjacency establishment. The (Backup) Designated Router is
selected from the set of neighbors in state 2-Way or greater.
Exchange Start - This is the first step in creating an adjacency between the two
neighboring routers. The goal of this step is to decide which router is the master, and
to decide upon the initial DD sequence number. Neighbor conversations in this state
or greater are called adjacencies.
Exchange - In this state the router is describing its entire link state database by
sending Database Description packets to the neighbor. In this state, Link State
Request Packets may also be sent asking for the neighbor's more recent LSAs. All
adjacencies in Exchange state or greater are used by the flooding procedure. These
adjacencies are fully capable of transmitting and receiving all types of OSPF routing
protocol packets.
Loading - In this state, Link State Request packets are sent to the neighbor asking for
the more recent LSAs that have been discovered (but not yet received) in the
Exchange state.
Full - In this state, the neighboring routers are fully adjacent. These adjacencies will
now appear in router-LSAs and network-LSAs.
Events - The number of times this neighbor relationship has changed state, or an error
has occurred.

Create New Virtual Link - Select this option from the dropdown menu to define a new
virtual link. The area portion of the virtual link identification is fixed: you will be prompted
to enter the Neighbor Router ID on a new screen.
Area ID and Neighbor Router ID - Select the virtual link for which you want to display or
configure data. It consists of the Area ID and Neighbor Router ID.
Configurable Data
Neighbor Router ID - Enter the neighbor portion of a Virtual Link specification. Virtual
links may be configured between any pair of area border routers having interfaces to a
common (non-backbone) area. You only enter this ID when you are creating a new virtual
link.
Hello Interval - Enter the OSPF hello interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a network. Valid values range
from 1 to 65,535. The default is 10 seconds. .
Dead Interval - Enter the OSPF dead interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
specifies how long a router will wait to see a neighbor router's Hello packets before
declaring that the router is down. This parameter must be the same for all routers
attached to a network. This value should a multiple of the Hello Interval (e.g. 4). Valid
values range from 1 to 2147483647. The default is 40.
Iftransit Delay Interval - Enter the OSPF Transit Delay for the specified interface. This
specifies the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet
over the selected interface. Valid values range from 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). The
default value is 1 second.
Retransmit Interval - Enter the OSPF retransmit interval for the specified interface. This
is the number of seconds between link-state advertisements for adjacencies belonging to
this router interface. This value is also used when retransmitting database descriptions
and link-state request packets. Valid values range from 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). The
default is 5 seconds.

network. All routers on the network must be configured with the same key.
Encrypt - If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an authentication
key and an authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All
routers on the network must be configured with the same key and ID.
Authentication Key - Enter the OSPF Authentication Key for the specified interface. If
you do not choose to use authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you
Main Menu

choose 'simple' authentication you cannot use a key of more than 8 octets. If you choose
'encrypt' the key may be up to 16 octets long. The key value will only be displayed if you
are logged on with Read/Write privileges, otherwise it will be displayed as asterisks.
Authentication ID - Enter the ID to be used for authentication. You will only be prompted
to enter an ID when you select 'Encrypt' as the authentication type. The ID is a number
between 0 ad 255, inclusive.
Non-Configurable Data
Down - This is the initial interface state. In this state, the lower-level protocols have
indicated that the interface is unusable. In this state, interface parameters will be set to
their initial values. All interface timers will be disabled, and there will be no adjacencies
associated with the interface.
Waiting - The router is trying to determine the identity of the (Backup) Designated Router
by monitoring received Hello Packets. The router is not allowed to elect a Backup
Designated Router or a Designated Router until it transitions out of Waiting state. This
prevents unnecessary changes of (Backup) Designated Router.
Point-to-Point - The interface is operational, and is connected to the virtual link. On
entering this state the router attempts to form an adjacency with the neighboring router.
Hello Packets are sent to the neighbor every HelloInterval seconds.
Designated Router - This router is itself the Designated Router on the attached network.
Adjacencies are established to all other routers attached to the network. The router must
also originate a network-LSA for the network node. The network- LSA will contain links to
all routers (including the Designated Router itself) attached to the network.
Backup Designated Router - This router is itself the Backup Designated Router on the
attached network. It will be promoted to Designated Router if the present Designated
Router fails. The router establishes adjacencies to all other routers attached to the
network. The Backup Designated Router performs slightly different functions during the
Flooding Procedure, as compared to the Designated Router.
Other Designated Router - The interface is connected to a broadcast or NBMA network
on which other routers have been selected to be the Designated Router and Backup
Designated Router. The router attempts to form adjacencies to both the Designated
Router and the Backup Designated Router.
Neighbor State - The state of the Virtual Neighbor Relationship.

Managing DNS Relay
6.2.3.5.1. Configuring DNS Relay
The DNS protocol controls the Domain Name System (DNS), a distributed database with which
you can map host names to IP addresses. When you configure DNS on your switch, you can
substitute the host name for the IP address with all IP commands, such as ping, telnet,
traceroute, and related Telnet support operations. To keep track of domain names, IP has
defined the concept of a domain name server, which holds a cache (or database) of names
mapped to IP addresses. To map domain names to IP addresses, you must first identify the
host names, specify the name server that is present on your network, and enable the DNS.

6.2.3.8.5. Configuring Router Route Preference
Use this panel to configure the default preference for each protocol (e.g. 60 for static
routes, 170 for BGP). These values are arbitrary values in the range of 1 to 255 and are
independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to determine the
shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol.
The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest
preference value. When there are multiple routes to a destination, the preference values
are used to determine the preferred route. If there is still a tie, the route with the best
route metric will be chosen. To avoid problems with mismatched metrics (i.e. RIP and
OSPF metrics are not directly comparable) you must configure different preference
values for each of the protocols.

RADIUS servers are configured, the max retransmit value on each will be exhausted
before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout
value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore,
the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum

attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout value on that server has
passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in
receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times
timeout) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user login
attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS application returns a
response.

Managing Differentiated Services
6.2.5.2.1. Defining DiffServ Configuration Page
Operation
Packets are filtered and processed based on defined criteria. The filtering criteria is defined by
a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes may be defined on a
per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs.
The configuration process begins with defining one or more match criteria for a class. Then one
or more classes are added to a policy. Policies are then added to interfaces.
Packet processing begins by testing the match criteria for a packet. The 'all' class type option
defines that each match criteria within a class must evaluate to true for a packet to match that
class. The 'any' class type option defines that at least one match criteria must evaluate to true
for a packet to match that class. Classes are tested in the order in which they were added to
the policy. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found.
Selection Criteria
DiffServ Admin Mode - This lists the options for the mode, from which one can be

Configuring Diffserv Wizard Page
Operation
The DiffServ Wizard enables DiffServ on the switch by creating a traffic class, adding the traffic
class to a policy, and then adding the policy to the ports selected on DiffServ Wizard page. The
DiffServ Wizard will:
Create a DiffServ Class and define match criteria used as a filter to determine if incoming
traffic meets the requirements to be a member of the class.
Set the DiffServ Class match criteria based on Traffic Type selection as below:
VOIP - sets match criteria to UDP protocol.
HTTP - sets match criteria to HTTP destination port.
FTP - sets match criteria to FTP destination port.
Telnet - sets match criteria to Telnet destination port.
Any - sets match criteria to all traffic.
Create a DiffServ Policy and adds the DiffServ Policy to the DiffServ Class created.
If Policing is set to YES, then DiffServ Policy style is set to Simple. Traffic which conforms
to the Class Match criteria will be processed according to the Outbound Priority selection.
Outbound Priority configures the handling of conforming traffic as below:
High - sets policing action to markdscp ef.
Med - sets policing action to markdscp af31.
Low - sets policing action to send.
If Policing is set to NO, then all traffic will be marked as specified below:
High - sets policy mark ipdscp ef.
Med - sets policy mark ipdscp af31.
Low - sets policy mark ipdscp be.
Each port selected will be added to the policy created.

Values
ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal bytes ranging from 0 to
255. The default for all IP parameters consists of zeros (that is, 0.0.0.0). The interface IP
address of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
macaddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for
example 00:06:29:32:81:40.
areaid Area IDs may be entered in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). An area ID
of 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the backbone. Area IDs have the same form as IP addresses, but are
distinct from IP addresses. The IP network number of the sub-netted network may be used for
the area ID.
routerid The value of <router id> must be entered in 4-digit dotted-decimal notation (for
example, 0.0.0.1). A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
slot/port This parameter denotes a valid slot number, and a valid port number. For example,
0/1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1. The <slot/port> field is composed of a valid
slot number and a valid port number separated by a forward slash (/).
logical slot/port This parameter denotes logical slot number, and logical port number
assigned. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG). The operator can use the
logical logical slot number, and the logical port number to configure the port-channel.
Conventions
Network addresses are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation, or network.
Network addresses are shown using the following syntax:
Table 5-1. Network Address Syntax

Format
A.B.C.D
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
Range
0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
hexidecimal digit pairs
Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user defined strings.
If the operator wishes to use spaces as part of a name parameter then it must be enclosed in
double quotation marks.
Empty strings (““) are not valid user defined strings. Command completion finishes
spelling the command when enough letters of a command are typed to uniquely identify the
command word. The command may be executed by typing <enter> (command abbreviation) or
the command word may be completed by typing the <tab> or <space bar> (command
completion).
The value 'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This
should never happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not handled
correctly.
Management Commands
Command Reference
The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.
Annotations
The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use
when writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability. The exclamation point (‘!’)
character flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word
anywhere on the command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any command
line that begins with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the
parser.

storm-control broadcast
This command enables broadcast storm recovery mode on the selected interface. If the mode
is enabled, broadcast storm recovery with high threshold is implemented. The threshold
implementation follows a percentage pattern. If the broadcast traffic on any Ethernet port
exceeds the high threshold percentage (as represented in “Broadcast Storm Recovery
Thresholds” table) of the link speed, the switch discards the broadcasts traffic until the
broadcast traffic returns to the threshold percentage or less. The full implementation is
depicted in the “Broadcast Storm Recovery Thresholds” table.

Display Message
SNMP Community Name: The community string to which this entry grants access. A valid
entry is a case-sensitive alphanumeric string of up to 16 characters. Each row of this table
must contain a unique community name.
Client IP Address: An IP address (or portion thereof) from which this device will accept
SNMP packets with the associated community. The requesting entity's IP address is ANDed
with the Subnet Mask before being compared to the IP Address. Note: that if the Subnet
Mask is set to 0.0.0.0, an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 matches all IP addresses. The default value
is 0.0.0.0
Client IP Mask: A mask to be ANDed with the requesting entity's IP address before
comparison with IP Address. If the result matches with the IP Address then the address is an
authenticated IP address. For example, if the IP Address = 9.47.128.0 and the
corresponding Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0, a range of incoming IP addresses would
match. That is, the incoming IP Address could equal 9.47.128.0 - 9.47.128.255. The default
value is 0.0.0.0.
Access Mode: The access level for this community string.

This section provides detailed explanation of the spanning tree commands. Due the IEEE
requirement, the basic spanning tree (STP, 802.1d) will be removed, the STP will be simulated
in the satge of the mutli-spanning tree (MSTP, 802.1s). So the basic five stages will be different
from the traditiaonal phases. It doesn’t influnced the basic spanning tree function. This is not
conflict point of the view.
The commands are divided into two functional groups:
z Show commands display spanning tree settings, statistics, and other information.
z Configuration Commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command there is a show command that displays the configuration

7.10.2.1 authentication login
This command creates an authentication login list. The <listname> is up to 15 alphanumeric
characters and is not case sensitive. Up to 10 authentication login lists can be configured on
the switch. When a list is created, the authentication method “local” is set as the first method.
When the optional parameters “method1”, “method 2”, and/or “method 3” are used, an ordered
list of methods are set in the authentication login list. If the authentication login list does not
exist, a new authentication login list is first created and then the authentication methods are set
in the authentication login list. The maximum number of authentication login methods is three.
The possible method values are local, radius, reject, and tacacs.
The value of local indicates that the user’s locally stored ID and password are used for
authentication. The value of radius indicates that the user’s ID and password will be
authenticated using the RADIUS server. The value of reject indicates that the user is never
authenticated. The value of tacacs indicates that the user’s ID and password will be
authenticated using the TACACS.
To authenticate a user, the authentication methods in the user’s login will be attempted in order
until an authentication attempt succeeds or fails.
Note that the default login list included with the default configuration cannot be changed.
Syntax
authentication login <listname> [<method1>] [<method2>] [<method3>]

7.15 Differentiated Service Command
Note: This Switching Command function can only be used on the QoS software version.
This chapter contains the CLI commands used for the QOS Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
package.
The user configures DiffServ in several stages by specifying:
1. Class
• creating and deleting classes
• defining match criteria for a class
Note: The only way to remove an individual match criterion from an existing class definition is
to delete the class and re-create it.
2. Policy
• creating and deleting policies
• associating classes with a policy
• defining policy statements for a policy/class combination
3. Service
• adding and removing a policy to/from a directional (that is, inbound, outbound)
interface
Packets are filtered and processed based on defined criteria. The filtering criteria are
defined by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes may be
defined on a per class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match
occurs.
Packet processing begins by testing the match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Commands
Command Reference
packet when a class match within that policy is found.
Note that the type of class - all, any, or acl - has a bearing on the validity of match criteria
specified when defining the class. A class type of 'any' processes its match rules in an ordered
sequence; additional rules specified for such a class simply extend this list. A class type of ‘acl’
obtains its rule list by interpreting each ACL rule definition at the time the Diffserv class is
created. Differences arise when specifying match criteria for a class type 'all', since only one
value for each non-excluded match field is allowed within a class definition. If a field is already
specified for a class, all subsequent attempts to specify the same field fail, including the cases
where a field can be specified multiple ways through alternative formats. The exception to this
is when the 'exclude' option is specified, in which case this restriction does not apply to the
excluded fields.
The following class restrictions are imposed by the 7300 Series L3 Switch DiffServ
design:
• nested class support limited to:
• 'all' within 'all'
• no nested 'not' conditions
• no nested 'acl' class types
• each class contains at most one referenced class
• hierarchical service policies not supported in a class definition
• access list matched by reference only, and must be sole criterion in a class
• that is, ACL rules copied as class match criteria at time of class creation, with class
type 'any'
• implicit ACL 'deny all' rule also copied
• no nesting of class type 'acl'
Regarding nested classes, referred to here as class references, a given class definition
can contain at most one reference to another class, which can be combined with other match
criteria. The referenced class is truly a reference and not a copy, since additions to a
referenced class affect all classes that reference it. Changes to any class definition currently
referenced by any other class must result in valid class definitions for all derived classes
otherwise the change is rejected. A class reference may be removed from a class definition.
The user can display summary and detailed information for classes, policies, and services.
All configuration information is accessible via the CLI, Web, and SNMP user interfaces.
7.15.1 General Commands

7.15.2 Class Commands
The 'class' command set is used in DiffServ to define:
Traffic Classification specifies Behavior Aggregate (BA) based on DSCP, and MultiField (MF) classes of traffic (name, match criteria)
Service Levels specifies the BA forwarding classes / service levels. Conceptually,
DiffServ is a two-level hierarchy of classes: 1. Service/PHB, 2. Traffic Class
This set of commands consists of class creation/deletion and matching, with the class
match commands specifying layer 3, layer 2, and general match criteria. The class match
criteria are also known as class rules, with a class definition consisting of one or more rules to
identify the traffic belonging to the class. Note that once a class match criterion is created for a
class, it cannot be changed or deleted - the entire class must be deleted and re-created.
The CLI command root is class-map.
7.15.2.1 class-map
This command defines a new DiffServ class of type match-all, match-any or
match-access-group.
Syntax
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Commands
Command Reference
class-map [ match-all ] <class-map-name>
<class-map-name> is a case sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 31 characters uniquely
identifying the class.
Note: The class name 'default' is reserved and must not be used here.
When used without any match condition, this command enters the class-map mode. The
<class-map-name> is the name of an existing DiffServ class.
Note: The class name 'default' is reserved and is not allowed here. The class type of match-all
indicates all of the individual match conditions must be true for a packet to be considered a
member of the class. The class type of match-access-group indicates the individual class
match criteria are evaluated based on an access list (ACL).
<aclid> is an integer specifying an existing ACL number (refer to the appropriate ACL
documentation for the valid ACL number range). A matchaccess-group class type copies its
set of match criteria from the current rule definition of the specified ACL number. All elements
of a single ACL Rule are treated by DiffServ as a grouped set, similar to class type all. For any
class, at least one class match condition must be specified for the class to be considered valid.
Note: The class match conditions are obtained from the referenced access list at the time of
class creation. Thus, any subsequent changes to the referenced ACL definition do not affect
the DiffServ class. To pick up the latest ACL definition, the DiffServ class must be deleted and
recreated. This command may be used without specifying a class type to enter the Class-Map
Config mode for an existing DiffServ class.
Note: The CLI mode is changed to Class-Map Config when this command is successfully
executed.

Restrictions The class types of both <classname> and <refclassname> must be identical
(that is, any vs. any, or all vs. all). A class type of acl is not supported by this command.
Cannot specify <refclassname> the same as <classname> (that is, self-referencing of class
name not allowed). At most one other class may be referenced by a class. Any attempt to
delete the <refclassname> class while still referenced by any <classname> shall fail.
The combined match criteria of <classname> and <refclassname> must be an allowed
combination based on the class type. Any subsequent changes to the <refclassname> class
match criteria must maintain this validity, or the change attempt shall fail. The total number of
class rules formed by the complete reference class chain (includes both predecessor and
successor classes) must not exceed a platform-specific maximum. In some cases, each
removal of a refclass rule reduces the maximum number of available rules in the class
definition by one.

Syntax
match dstl4port {<portkey> | <0-65535>}
To specify the match condition as a single keyword, the value for <portkey> is one of the
supported port name keywords. The currently supported <portkey> values are: domain, echo,
ftp, ftpdata, http, smtp, snmp, telnet, tftp, www. Each of these translates into its equivalent
port number, which is used as both the start and end of a port range.
To specify the match condition using a numeric notation, one layer 4 port number is required.
The port number is an integer from 0 to 65535.
To specify the match condition using a numeric range notation, two layer 4 port numbers are
required and together they specify a contiguous port range. Each port number is an integer

the IP DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) field in a packet, which is defined as the high-order six bits
of the Service Type octet in the IP header (the low-order two bits are not checked).
Syntax
match ip dscp <value>
<dscpval> value is specified as either an integer from 0 to 63, or symbolically through one of
the following keywords: af11, af12, af13, af21, af22, af23, af31, af32, af33, af41, af42, af43,
be, cs0, cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5, cs6, cs7, ef.
Note: The ip dscp, ip precedence, and ip tos match conditions are alternative ways to specify a
match criterion for the same Service Type field in the IP header, but with a slightly different
user notation.
Note: To specify a match on all DSCP values, use the match [not] ip tos <tosbits> <tosmask>
command with <tosbits> set to 0 and <tosmask> set to 03 (hex).
Default

Type octet in the IP header (the low-order five bits are not checked). The precedence value is
an integer from 0 to 7.
Syntax
match ip precedence <0-7>
Note: The ip dscp, ip precedence, and ip tos match conditions are alternative ways to specify a

7.15.2.11 match ip tos
This command adds to the specified class definition a match condition based on the value of
the IP TOS field in a packet, which is defined as all eight bits of the Service Type octet in the IP
header.
Syntax
match ip tos <tosbits> <tosmask>
<tosbits> is a two-digit hexadecimal number from 00 to ff.
<tosmask> is a two-digit hexadecimal number from 00 to ff.
The <tosmask> denotes the bit positions in <tosbits> that are used for comparison against
the IP TOS field in a packet. For example, to check for an IP TOS value having bits 7 and 5 set
and bit 1 clear, where bit 7 is most significant, use a <tosbits> value of a0 (hex) and a
<tosmask> of a2 (hex).
Note: The ip dscp, ip precedence, and ip tos match conditions are alternative ways to specify a
match criterion for the same Service Type field in the IP header, but with a slightly different
user notation.
Note: In essence, this the “free form” version of the IP DSCP/Precedence/TOS match
specification in that the user has complete control of specifying which bits of the IP Service
Type field are checked.

Syntax
match protocol {<protocol-name> | <0-255>}
<protocol-name> is one of the supported protocol name keywords. The currently supported
values are: icmp, igmp, ip, tcp, udp. Note that a value of ip is interpreted to match all protocol
number values. To specify the match condition using a numeric value notation, the protocol
number is a standard value assigned by IANA and is interpreted as an integer from 0 to 255.
Note: This command does not validate the protocol number value against the current list
defined by IANA.

7.15.3 Policy Commands
The 'policy' command set is used in DiffServ to define:
Traffic Conditioning Specify traffic conditioning actions (policing, marking, shaping) to
apply to traffic classes
Service Provisioning Specify bandwidth and queue depth management requirements of
service levels (EF, AF, etc.)
The policy commands are used to associate a traffic class, which was defined by the class
command set, with one or more QoS policy attributes. This association is then assigned to an
interface in a particular direction to form a service. The user specifies the policy name when the
policy is created.
The DiffServ CLI does not necessarily require that users associate only one traffic class to
one policy. In fact, multiple traffic classes can be associated with a single policy, each defining
a particular treatment for packets that match the class definition. When a packet satisfies the
conditions of more than one class, preference is based on the order in which the classes were
added to the policy, with the foremost class taking highest precedence.
This set of commands consists of policy creation/deletion, class addition/removal, and
individual policy attributes. Note that the only way to remove an individual policy attribute from
a class instance within a policy is to remove the class instance and re-add it to the policy. The
values associated with an existing policy attribute can be changed without removing the class

7.16.2.3 mac access-list
This command creates a new rule for the current MAC access list. Each rule is appended to the
list of configured rules for the list. Note that an implicit 'deny all' MAC rule always terminates the
access list. Note: The 'no' form of this command is not supported, as the rules within an ACL
cannot be deleted individually. Rather, the entire ACL must be deleted and re-specified.
A rule may either deny or permit traffic according to the specified classification fields. At a
minimum, the source and destination MAC value and mask pairs must be specified, each of
which may be substituted using the keyword any to indicate a match on any value in that field.
The bpdu keyword may be specified for the destination MAC value/mask pair indicating a
well-known BPDU MAC value of 01-80-c2-xx-xx-xx (hex), where 'xx' indicates a don't care. The
remaining command parameters are all optional. The Ethertype may be specified as either a
keyword or a four-digit hexadecimal value from 0x0600-0xFFFF. The currently supported
<ethertypekey> values are: appletalk, arp, ibmsna, ipv4, ipv6, ipx, mplsmcast, mplsucast,
netbios, novell, pppoe, rarp. Each of these translates into its equivalent Ethertype value(s). The
assign-queue parameter allows specification of a particular hardware queue for handling traffic
that matches this rule. The allowed <queue-id> value is 0-(n-1), where n is the number of user
configurable queues available for the hardware platform. The redirect parameter allows the
traffic matching this rule to be forwarded to the specified <slot/port>. The assign-queue and
redirect parameters are only valid for a 'permit' rule.

sequence number.
Exchange - the router is describing its entire link state database by sending Database
Description packets to the neighbor.
Loading - Link State Request packets are sent to the neighbor asking for the more recent
LSAs that have been discovered (but not yet received) in the Exchange state.
Full - the neighboring routers are fully adjacent and they will now appear in router-LSAs and
network-LSAs.

no - This command sets the administrative mode of the IP multicast forwarder in the router
to inactive . For multicast routing to become operational, IGMP must be currently enabled.
An error message will be displayed on the CLI if multicast routing is enabled while IGMP is
disabled. However, the IP multicast mode configuration is stored in the multicast
configuration file and is automatically enabled once IGMP is enabled.

7.29.2.2 ip multicast staticroute
This command creates a static route which is used to perform RPF checking in multicast
packet forwarding. The combination of the <sourceipaddr> and the <mask> fields specify the
network IP address of the multicast packet source. The <groupipaddr> is the IP address of the
next hop toward the source. The <metric> is the cost of the route entry for comparison with
other routes to the source network and is a value in the range of 0 and 255. The current
incoming interface is used for RPF checking for multicast packets matching this multicast static
route entry.

Using SNMP
8 Using SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication protocol designed
specifically for managing devices or other elements on a network. Equipment commonly
managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically used to
configure these devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor
them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems.
To access this switch from a network management station using SNMP, follow these steps:
1.
Install an SNMP management application on your host computer.
2.
Verify that the management station and switch are configured to the same
IP domain.
3.
Configure the community name and access rights for network management
access via SNMP.
4. To receive trap messages from the switch, you must specify the IP address of the
trap managers, associated community names, and trap types that the switch will
generate.
5.
An SNMP management station can configure and monitor network devices by
setting or reading device variables specified in the Management Infor- mation Base
(MIB). The key MIB groups supported by this switch are listed in this appendix.
To monitor device status or modify system parameters on the switch from a network
management system, you must access the appropriate MIB variables via your
SNMP management application.

10 Troubleshooting and Tips
If you are having problems connecting to the network, check your network cabling to
ensure that the device in question is properly connected to the network. Then refer to
verify that the corresponding port on the switch is functioning properly.
If you are having problems connecting to the management interface, refer to the
troubleshooting chart.
10.1 Diagnosing Switch Indicators
If you have a connected a device to a port on the switch, but the Link LED is off, then
check the following items:
Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device.
Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified
limits.
Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible
defects. Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If any network cabling
appears to be malfunctioning, test it in an alternate environment where you are sure
that all the other components are functioning properly.
10.2 Accessing the Management Interface
Supported
Using SNMP
MIBs
You can access the management interface for the switch from anywhere within the
attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or any SNMP-based network
management software. If you are having trouble accessing the management
interface, then refer to the troubleshooting information displayed in the following
table.
Symptom
Action
Cannot connect to the switch
• Be sure you have configured the agent with a valid IP address, subnet mask and
using Telnet, Web browser,
or SNMP software
default gateway.
• If you are trying to connect to the agent via the IP address for a
tagged VLAN group, your management station must include the appropriate tag in
its transmitted frames.
• Check that you have a valid network connection to the switch
and that the port you are using has not been disabled.
• Check network cabling between the management station and the switch.
• If you cannot connect using Telnet, there may already be four active sessions. Try
connecting again at a later time.
Cannot access the
on-board configuration
• Be sure you have set the terminal emulator program to VT100
compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps.
program via a serial port
connection
• Check that the null-modem serial cable conforms to the pin-out connections
provided in the Operating Manual for the server.
Forgot or lost the
password
• Restore the “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” file with the “boot system” command
described on page 134.
