December 2007 Feature Descriptions 31-Bit Network Mask Support Adds support for a 31-bit netmask to allow for a point-to-point Ethernet network between two routers. 802.1AB with MED Extensions IEEE 802.1AB (2005) is the latest version for the standards based connectivity discovery protocol. The purpose of the IEEE standard 802.1AB for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), is to provide support for network management software dealing with topology discovery such as OmniVista.
authentication, the switch sends RADIUS frames to the server with the source MAC address embedded in the username and password attributes. In release 6.3.1 the number of possible 802.1X users is 2K per system, not to exceed 1K per module or stackable unit. This number is a total number of users that applies to all authenticated clients, such as AVLAN and 802.1X supplicants or non-supplicants. In addition the use of all authentication methods and Learned Port Security (LPS) on the same port is supported.
December 2007 • IPv6 multicast policies are not supported. • Anti-spoofing and other UserPorts profiles/filters do not support IPv6. • The default (built-in) network group, “Switch”, only applies to IPv4 interfaces. There is no such group for IPv6 interfaces. • IPv6 ACLs are not supported on A1 NI modules. Use the show ni command to verify the version of the NI module. Contact your Alcatel-Lucent support representative if you are using A1 boards.
Commands entered using the ACLMAN shell are interpreted and converted to Alcatel-Lucent CLI syntax that is used for creating QoS filtering policies. This implementation of ACLMAN also provides the following features: • Importing of text files that contain common industry ACL syntax. • Support for both standard and extended ACLs. • Creating ACLs on a single command line. • The ability to assign a name, instead of a number, to an ACL or a group of ACL entries.
December 2007 • Partitioned Switch Management - A user account includes a login name, password, and user privileges. The privileges determine whether the user has read or write access to the switch, and which command domains and command families the user is authorized to execute on the switch. The privileges are sometimes referred to as authorization; the designation of particular command families or domains for user access is sometimes referred to as partitioned management.
Automatic VLAN Containment (AVC) In an 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) configuration, it is possible for a port that belongs to a VLAN, which is not a member of an instance, to become the root port for that instance. This can cause a topology change that could lead to a loss of connectivity between VLANs/switches. Enabling Automatic VLAN Containment (AVC) helps to prevent this from happening by making such a port an undesirable choice for the root.
December 2007 include command syntax definitions, defaults, usage guidelines, example screen output, and release history. The CLI uses single-line text commands that are similar to other industry standard switch interfaces. DHCP Relay DHCP Relay allows you to forward DHCP broadcast requests to configurable DHCP server IP address in a routing environment. DHCP Relay is configured using the IP helper set of commands. Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) support was enabled by default in previous releases.
• Rate Limiting—Limits the number of DHCP packets on a port. This functionality is provided using the QoS application to configure ACLs for the port. • User-configurable Option 82 Suboption Format—Allows the user to specify the type of information (switch base MAC address, system name, or user-defined string) that is inserted into the Circuit ID and Remote ID suboptions of the Option-82 field. This functionality only applies when DHCP Snooping Option-82 Data Insertion is enabled.
December 2007 • Dynamic anomalous port quarantining. Ethernet Interfaces Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet port software is responsible for a variety of functions that support Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These functions include initialization of ports, notifying other software modules when a port goes down, configuration of basic line parameters, gathering of statistics for Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports, and responding to administrative enable/disable requests.
network dynamically learn those VLANs. An end station can be plugged into any switch and can be connected to its desired VLAN. However, for end stations to make use of GVRP, they need Network Interface Cards (NIC) aware of GVRP. Release 6.3.1 added the following: • OS9000 Support • Generate a trap if the number of dynamic VLANs exceeds the maximum threshold configured for GVRP.
December 2007 IP Multicast VLAN IP Multicast VLAN involves the creation of separate, dedicated VLANs constructed specifically for multicast traffic distribution. These distribution VLANs connect to the nearest multicast router and support multicast traffic only. The IP Multicast feature works in both the enterprise environment and the VLAN Stacking environment. The ports are separately classified as VLAN stacking ports or as legacy ports (Fixed ports/Tagged Ports).
Value, IP-directed broadcasts, and the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). In addition, this software allows one to trace an IP route, display Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) information, and display User Datagram Protocol (UDP) information. OmniSwitch 6850 and 9000 switches support hardware routing/flooding to static ARP with multicast MAC address. The switch operates only in single MAC router mode.
December 2007 IP DoS Filtering By default, the switch filters the following denial of service (DoS) attacks, which are security attacks aimed at devices that are available on a private network or the Internet: • ARP Flood Attack - OS6800/OS6850/OS9000 • Invalid IP Attack - OS6850/OS9000 • Multicast IP and MAC Address Mismatch - OS6850/OS9000 • Ping Overload - OS6850/OS9000 • Packets with loopback source IP address - OS6850/OS9000 IP Multicast Switching (IPMS) IP Multicast Switching is a one-to-man
In addition, a route map may also contain statements that modify route parameters before they are redistributed. Redistribution is configured by specifying a source and destination protocol and the name of an existing route map. Criteria specified in the route map is applied to routes received from the source protocol. IPX Routing The Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol, developed by Novell for NetWare, is a Layer 3 protocol used to route packets through IPX networks.
December 2007 L2 Static Multicast Addresses Static multicast MAC addresses are used to send traffic intended for a single destination multicast MAC address to multiple switch ports within a given VLAN. A static multicast address is assigned to one or more switch ports for a given VLAN. The ports associated with the multicast address are then identified as egress ports.
Link Aggregation (static & 802.3ad) Alcatel-Lucent’s link aggregation software allows you to combine several physical links into one large virtual link known as a link aggregation group. Using link aggregation can provide the following benefits: • Scalability. You can configure up to 32 link aggregation groups that can consist of 2, 4, or 8 Ethernetports. • Reliability. If one of the physical links in a link aggregate group goes down, the link aggregate group can still operate. Ease of Migration.
December 2007 NTP Client The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver. It provides client time accuracies within half a second on LANs and WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) (via a Global Positioning Service receiver, for example). OSPFv2/OSPFv3 Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) is available.
Port Mapping (Private VLANs) Port Mapping is a security feature that controls peer users from communicating with each other. A Port Mapping session comprises a session ID and a set of user ports and/or a set of network ports. User ports within a session cannot communicate with each other and can only communicate via network ports. In a Port Mapping session with user port set A and network port set B, ports in set A can only communicate with ports in set B.
December 2007 OmniSwitch can have ports running in either 1x1 mode when connecting to another OmniSwitch, or PVST+ mode simultaneously. • • • • • • It is mandatory that all the Cisco switches have the Mac Reduction Mode feature enabled. Priority values can only be assigned in multiples of 4096 to be compatible with the Cisco MAC Reduction mode.
00-80-9F-66-xx-xx to 00-80-9F-6F-xx-xx. Third-party devices can be added to this group as well. Note: When automatic NMS prioritization is enabled, QoS policies that specify priority are not applied to the NMS traffic. Other QoS policies, however, are applied to this type of traffic as usual. BPDU Shutdown Ports - The BPDUShutdownPorts group is a special QoS port group that identifies its members as ports that should not receive BPDUs.
December 2007 Ingress and Egress Bandwidth Shaping - Bandwidth shaping is configured on a per port basis by specifying a maximum bandwidth value for ingress and egress ports. However, on the OmniSwitch 6850 and 9000 switches, configuring minimum and maximum egress bandwidth is supported on a per COS queue basis for each port Also note that configuring the maximum bandwidth for ingress ports is not supported on the OmniSwitch 6800.
Remote Port Mirroring (802.1Q based) This feature provides a remote port mirroring capability where traffic from a local port can be carried across the network to an egress port where a sniffer can be attached. This features makes use of an 802.1q tag to send the mirrored traffic over the network using tagged VLANs. • • • • • Remote port mirroring is supported only on OS6850 and OS9000 switches. There must not be any physical loop present in the remote port mirroring VLAN.
December 2007 policy to a specific port or link aggregate instead of the originally intended destination. This type of policy may use any condition; the policy action determines which port or link aggregate to which the traffic is sent. RMON Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) is an SNMP protocol used to manage networks remotely.
Secure Copy (SCP) The scp CLI command is available for copying files in a secure manner between hosts on the network. The scp utility performs encrypted data transfers using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. In addition, scp uses available SSH authentication and security features, such as prompting for a password if one is required.
December 2007 Secure Shell (SSH) Public Key Authentication DSA public key authentication is supported when using PuTTY SSH software to generate the private and public key for the client and to access the switch. It is now possible to enforce the use of public key authentication only on the switch. By default, both password and public key authentication are allowed.
MAC Retention - The MAC Retention functionality is implemented to enhance Smart Continuous Switching for stackable products by retaining the base MAC address of the primary stack element during a takeover. As a result, both L2 and L3 traffic as well as the associated control protocols (e.g. routing protocols, spanning tree) will be minimally affected during takeover. Release 6.3.1 added enhancements for avoiding duplicate MAC scenarios.
December 2007 address table that have aged beyond the configurable aging timer value. Accessing MAC Address Table entries is useful for managing traffic flow and troubleshooting network device connectivity problems. MAC Address Mode There are now two source learning modes available for the OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches: synchronized and distributed. By default the switch runs in the synchronized mode, which allows a total MAC address tables size of 16K per chassis.
Syslog to Multiple Hosts Sending syslog files to multiple hosts is allowed. It is possible to specify up to a maximum of four servers. Switch Logging The Switch Logging feature is designed to provide a high-level event logging mechanism that can be useful in maintaining and servicing the switch. Switch Logging uses a formatted string mechanism to process log requests from applications.
December 2007 User Definable Loopback Interface Loopback0 is the name assigned to an IP interface to identify a consistent address for network management purposes. The Loopback0 interface is not bound to any VLAN, therefore it always remains operationally active. This differs from other IP interfaces, such that if there are no active ports in the VLAN, all IP interfaces associated with that VLAN are not active.
network.. VLAN Stacking Legacy and Eservice Modes - The VLAN Stacking application operates in one of two modes: Legacy and Eservice. The two modes basically differ in how VLAN Stacking is configured, with the Eservice mode offering the following additional enhancements that are not available in the Legacy mode: • Ethernet service-based approach that is similar to configuring a virtual private LAN service (VPLS). • Ingress bandwidth sharing across User Network Interface (UNI) ports.
December 2007 Global VRRP Configuration Release 6.3.1 added the following capabilities for VRRP2 only: • Globally enable or disable all or a range of VRRP instances. • View or configure default values such as priority, preempt, or advertising interval on all or a group or VRRP instances. Web-Based Management (WebView) The switch can be monitored and configured using WebView, Alcatel-Lucent’s web-based device management tool.
