GLXY9.book Page 1 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM 5 Advanced Management This chapter describes advanced topics for SNMP and RMON management of the IntraChassis 9000, Multicast Traffic Management, and configuration of Spanning Tree Protocol parameters. Spanning Tree Protocol The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a part of the IEEE 802.1D standard that provides for redundancy in a bridged LAN by allowing multiple links between points in the LAN.
GLXY9.book Page 2 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management How It Works All bridges on the network communicate with each other using special packets called Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). The information exchanged in the BPDUs enables bridges on the network to: ❑ Elect a single bridge to be the Root Bridge. ❑ Calculate the shortest path from each bridge to the root. ❑ Select a Designated Bridge on each segment which lies closest to the root, and will forward traffic to the root.

GLXY9.book Page 4 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management another BPDU, it assumes that a change in the topology has occurred and begins recalculating the spanning tree. Forward Delay The Forward Delay parameter regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic after a recalculation of the spanning tree. If a port begins forwarding traffic too soon, the network can be adversely affected. The permitted range of the Forward Delay is 4 to 30 seconds.
GLXY9.book Page 5 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Spanning Tree Protocol Current STP Settings The following settings are displayed in the Spanning Tree Port Configuration menu screen, as shown in Figure 5-2. Setting Description STP Status Whether spanning tree protocol is currently enabled or disabled. Bridge ID The Bridge Identifier of this bridge. The first part of the Bridge ID is the Bridge Priority. (If the Bridge ID is shown as 8000 000094EE5080, the 8000 is the Bridge Priority.

GLXY9.book Page 8 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management Ethernet Statistics Group This group contains statistics measured on each port of the IntraChassis 9000. These are cumulative counters which start at zero each time the IntraChassis 9000 is reset. The Statistics Group is automatically implemented by the IntraChassis 9000. Ethernet History Group This group records periodic statistical samples from ports on the IntraChassis 9000 and stores them for later retrieval.
GLXY9.book Page 9 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Security You can designate a device as a trap receiver as explained in "Adding or Updating a Trap Receiver" in the "SNMP Configuration" section of Chapter 3. This receiver device will get the following information from the specified traps.
GLXY9.book Page 10 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management Station Movement Trap This security measure ensures that when any end station is moved from one switch port to another, an alert (Station Movement Trap) will be sent to the designated trap receiver. The information displayed in the alert is listed in Table 5-1. The station movement is detected when the station’s MAC address (already learned by the switch) appears on a different switchboard.

Then type n to toggle New Node detection from enabled to disabled, or disabled to enabled. By default, New Node detection is disabled {right?}.
GLXY9.book Page 12 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management group presents to the user a picture of connection to a single LAN, it is different from a LAN in the sense that it localizes the broadcast, multicast, and flooded traffic to parts of LAN segments, rather than to the whole LAN. In essence, a VLAN segment/group can be considered the Layer-2 broadcast segment equivalent of a Layer-3 network.

Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used throughout this chapter.
GLXY9.book Page 15 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM VLAN Management The management operations allowed on a VLAN group are: ❑ Creation ❑ Deletion ❑ Name configuration. ❑ VID Change configuration. ❑ Adding and deleting port members ❑ Adding and deleting untagged sets ❑ Sharing and unsharing VLANs ❑ Inserting and removing MAC addresses ❑ Toggling Management Access Default VLAN As per IEEP802.
GLXY9.book Page 16 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM Advanced Management frame. Ports should have a non-zero VID associated with them. By default, the PVID of all ports is 1, in compliance with IEE P802.1Q specifications. The allowed PVID range is 1-4094. The PVID of 4095 is assigned to ports that are configured to receive only 802.1Q tagged frames. See the “Port Admit Frame Type” section for details. Port Admit Frame Type All ports are set by default to receive both 802.
GLXY9.book Page 17 Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:04 PM VLAN Management VLAN untagged set. Deleting a port from the untagged set means that the port is still a member of this VLAN, but it can transmit tagged frames only. Ports can be added to the untagged set of a VLAN group. When added to the untagged set, the port is added to the VLAN’s port member set also. So in essence, a port in a VLAN can transmit either tagged or untagged frames, depending on its association with the VLAN’s untagged set.
