10 2-1-2-3. Switch Cascading in T opology • T akes the Delay T ime into Account Theoretically , the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly . In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diam eter) must follow the constraint of the IEEE 802.3/802.[...]

11 Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area networ k. Every port can access each other (See Fig. 2-2). If the VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each other di rectly is bounded to the same VLAN area. The VLAN area is defined by which VL AN you are on. The switch support s both port-based VLAN and[...]

12 Case 2b: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-4). 1. VLAN1 members can not access VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4 members. 2. VLAN2 members can not access VL AN1 and VLAN3 members, but they can access VLA N4 members. 3. VLAN3 members can not access VLAN1, VLAN2 and VLAN4. 4. VLAN4 members can not access VL AN1 and VLAN3 members, but they can access VLA N2 members.[...]

13 2-1-3. Configuring the Management Agent of 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch Just like browsing on the Internet, this switch is de signed to allow users to access and manage it s functions through its web-based interface. Users can monitor the status of the switch, as well as to configure the switch through this web- based interface. Here we will gui[...]

14 2-1-3-1. Management through Ethern et Port There are two ways to configure and monitor the switch through its Ethe rnet port – using a web browser and an SNMP manager program. The later one is RubyVie w dependant which is not covered here. Using a web bro wser to access the switch’ s web-based management UI is highly user friendly so that we[...]

15 Fig. 2 -7 the Log in Screen for Web 2-1-4. IP Address Assignment For IP addre ss configuration, four p arameters are required. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. IP addre ss: The IP addre ss of the network device in a network is used for internet working communication. The IP address is structured as shown in Fig. 2-8. It[...]

16 According to IPv4, the IP addre ssed are divided three classes, class A, class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP addre ss/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/ 24. Each class ha s its address ra nge as described below . [...]

17 Class D and E: Class D is a cla ss with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RF C 1 1 12. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast. According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP addre ss blocks reserved and to be use[...]

18 In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 2 5-bit long, 255.255.255.128, cont ains 126 members in the sub-netted network. Anothe r is that the length of network prefi x equals the number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask. With this, you can easily count the number of IP addresses matched. The following table shows t he result. Prefi[...]

19 For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like 255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network. Default gateway: When the destination of a routed packet not listed in the routing t able, all traffic will be put into a device with this designated I P addre ss, which is known [...]

22 3. Basic Concept and Management In this chapter we are goin g to introduce you the basic concept s and features of Ethernet, and how to work with the managem ent feature s provided by this switch. 3-1. What’ s the Ethernet Ethernet originated and was implement ed at Xerox in Palo Alto, CA in 1973 and was successfully comm ercialized by Digi t [...]

23 The above diagram shows the Ethernet ar chitecture in OSI model. LLC sub- layer and MAC sub-layer will re spond to the Data Li nk layer , and the transceivers will respond to the Physical layer . Logical Link Control (LLC) Dat a link layer is composed of both the su b-layers of MAC and MAC-client. Here MAC client may be logical link control or b[...]

24 The table 3-1 is the format of LLC PDU. It comprises four fields, DSAP , SSAP , Contro l and Information. The DSAP address field i dentifies the one or more service access point s, in which the I/G bit indicates it is individual or gr oup address. If all bits of DSAP are 1s, it’s a global address. The SSAP address field identifies the sp ecifi[...]

25 3-2. Media Acces s Control (MAC) MAC Addressing Because LAN is co mposed of many nodes, for the data exchanged among these nodes, each nod e must have its own unique address to identify who should send the data or should receive the data. In OSI model, each layer provides its own mean to identify the unique address in some form, for example, IP [...]

26 Bit 47 bit 0 1st byte 2nd byte 3rd byte 4t h byte 5th byte 6th byte OUI code Serial number Table 3-3 Ethernet MAC address The first bit of the first byte in t he Destination address (DA) deter mines the address to be a Unicast (0) or Multicast frame (1), known as I/G bit indicating individual (0) or group (1 ). So the 48-bit address space is div[...]

27 - Destination address (DA) — The DA field is used to identify which network device(s) should receive t he packet. It is a unique address. Please see the section of MAC addre ssing. - Source addresses (SA) — The SA field indicates the source node. The SA is always an individual address and the left-most bit in the SA field is always 0. - Leng[...]

28 How does a MAC work? The MAC sub-layer has two primary jobs to do: 1. Receiving and transm itting data . When receiving data, it pars es frame to detect error; when transmi tting dat a, it performs frame assembly. 2. Performing Media access co ntrol. It prepares the initiation jobs for a frame transmission an d makes recovery from tran smission [...]

29 Ethernet MAC transmits frame s in half-duplex and full-du plex ways. In half- duplex operation mode, the MAC ca n either transmit or receive frame at a moment, but cannot do both jobs at the same time. As the transmission of a MAC frame with half-dupl ex operation exists only in the same collision domain. The carrie r signal needs to spend time [...]

31 3-3. Flow Control Flow control is a mechanism to tell the source device stop sending frames for a specified period of time designated by target device until the PAUSE time expires. This is accomplished by sen ding a PAU SE frame from target device to source device. When the target is not busy and the PAUSE time is ex pired, it will send another [...]

32 Frame Reception In essence, the frame reception is t he same in both operations of half duplex and full duplex, except that full-duplex operat ion u ses two buffers to transmit and receive the frame independently. The receiv ing no de always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame. When a frame [...]

33 What if a VLAN tagging is applied? VLAN tagging is a 4-byte long data im mediately following the MAC so urce address. When tagged VLAN is applied, t he Ethernet frame structure will have a little change shown as follows. Only two fields, VLAN ID and Tag c ontrol information are different in comparison with the basic Ethernet frame. The re st fie[...]

34 The maximum length of the extension is equal to the quantity (slotTime - minFrameSize). The MAC continues to monitor the medium for collisions while it is transmitting extension bits, and it will treat any collision that occurs after the threshold (slotTime) as a late collision. 3-4. How does a switch w ork? The switch is a layer 2 Ethernet Swit[...]

35 Extended Distance Limit ations: The diameter of a half-duplex LAN se gment is determined by its maximum propagation delay time. For example, in 10M LAN, the most distance of a LAN segment using cable i s 2500 meters an d 185 meters when using coaxial cable. The switch with it s per port per collision domain can extend the di stance li ke a bridg[...]

36 How does a switch operate? A Layer 2 switch uses some features of the Data Link layer in OSI model to forward the p acket to destination port(s ). Here we introduce some important features of a switch and how they work. MAC address t able When a pa cket is received on a port, th e switch fi rst checks if the pa cket is good or bad and extract s [...]

37 Mac address aging There is a field in MAC address ta ble us ed to put the entry’s Age time which determines how long a MAC entry can reside in a switch. The age time is refreshed when a packet with that SA arrives. Usually , the age time is programmable. T ransmission schedule In most layer 2 switches, the QoS is supported. QoS in a switch mus[...]

38 3-5. V irtual LAN What is a VLAN? It is a subset of a LAN. Before we discuss VLAN, we must un derstand what LAN is. In general, a LAN is composed of different physical n etwork segment s bridged by switches or bridges which attach to end stations in the same broadca s t domain. The traf fic can reach any stati on on the same LAN. Beyond thi s do[...]

39 Now we apply VLAN technology to configure the system shown as the figure above. We ca n partition the users into the dif ferent logical networks which have their own broadcast domain. The traf fic will not disturb among these logical networks. The users 1x (x denotes a ~ d) are members of VLAN 1. Any traf fic within VLAN 1 does not flow to VLAN [...]

40 There are many types of VLAN appli ed. The most popular ones are port- based VLAN, tag-ba sed VLAN and protocol-based VLAN.  Port-based VLAN Some physical port s are configured as members of a VLAN. All stations attached on t hese ports can communica te with each other .  T ag-based VLAN It identifies the membership by VLAN ID, no matter w[...]

41 VLAN-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN tag field, contains VLAN identification without the value of 0 and 4095, and priority information. Priority-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN tag fiel d, contains VLAN identification with the value of 0 and priority information. Untagge d frame: An Ethernet frame carries no VLAN t [...]

42 Ingress Rule: Each packet received by a VLAN-aware bridge will be classified t o a VLAN. The classification rule is described as follows . 1. If the VID of the packet is null (VID=0 ) or this packe t is an untagged packet: a. If there are still some other ways(e. g. protocol, MAC addr ess, application, IP-subnet, etc.) to classify the incoming p[...]

43 How does a T agged VLAN work? If the ingress filtering is enabled and when a packet is receive d, the VLAN bridge will first check if the VID of the packet present s. 1). If the packet has a non-zero VID, t he VLAN bridge will apply this VID as the VLAN ID of the packet in the network. 2). For a packet with a null tag or no VLAN t ag, if the VLA[...]

44 3-6. Link Aggregation Basically , Link Aggregation is to aggregate the ban dwidth of more than one port to an assigned logical link. This hig hly increases total bandwid th to the targeted device. There is more than one Link Aggreg ation technology in many vendors’ switch products al ready , wh ich may cause the problem of interoperability . T[...]

45 T erminology Link Aggregation: It is a method to have multiple physical links with the same media and speed bundled to be a logical link forming a Link Aggregation Group wit h a group ID. With the viewpoint of MAC client, each Link Aggregation Group is an ind ependent link. There are three cases of link used in th e network, which are switch to [...]
