Summit 400-48t Switch Overview and Installation The switch determines whether the port is the primary or redundant port based upon the order in which the cables are inserted into the switch. When the switch senses that cables are in both the fiber and corresponding copper port, the switch enables the uplink redundancy feature. For example, if you insert mini-GBICs into ports 1X and 3X first, and then connect copper ports 1 and 3, the switch assigns ports 1 and 3 as redundant ports.
Software Overview For more information on VLANs, see Chapter 5. Spanning Tree Protocol The switch supports the IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which is a bridge-based mechanism for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP enables you to implement parallel paths for network traffic, and ensure that: • Redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational. • Redundant paths are enabled if the main traffic paths fail. A single spanning tree can span multiple VLANs.
Summit 400-48t Switch Overview and Installation ESRP-Aware Switches Extreme switches that are not running ESRP, but are connected on a network that has other Extreme switches running ESRP are ESRP-aware. When ESRP-aware switches are attached to ESRP-enabled switches, the ESRP-aware switches reliably perform fail-over and fail-back scenarios in the prescribed recovery times. No configuration of this feature is necessary. NOTE If you disable EDP on the switch, the switch is no longer ESRP-aware.
Software Licensing • Layer 3 QoS • Access Lists, except rate limiting • Network Login, both web-based and 802.1X Advanced Edge Functionality The Advanced Edge license enables support of additional routing protocols and functions, including: • IP routing using OSPF • IP multicast routing using PIM (Sparse Mode) • EAPS-Edge Product Support The Summit 400 can support Advanced Edge functionality. However, the switch is enabled and shipped with an Edge license.

2 Managing the Switch This chapter covers the following topics: • Overview on page 47 • Using the Console Interface on page 48 • Using the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port on page 48 • Using Telnet on page 48 • Using Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) on page 52 • Using SNMP on page 52 • Authenticating Users on page 63 • Using Network Login on page 64 • Using the Simple Network Time Protocol on page 64 Overview Using ExtremeWare, you can manage the switch using the following methods: • Access the CLI by connectin
Managing the Switch The switch supports up to the following number of concurrent user sessions: • One console session • Eight Telnet sessions • Eight SSH2 sessions • One web session Using the Console Interface The CLI built into the switch is accessible by way of the 9-pin, RS-232 port labeled console, located on the back of the switch. For more information on the console port pinouts, see Table 10 on page 37. After the connection has been established, you will see the switch prompt and you can log in.
Using Telnet NOTE Maximize the Telnet screen so that automatically updating screens display correctly. To open the Telnet session, you must specify the IP address of the device that you want to manage. Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet facility if you are unsure of how to do this. After the connection is established, you will see the switch prompt and you may log in.
Managing the Switch Manually Configuring the IP Settings If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you must enter the IP parameters for the switch in order for the SNMP Network Manager, Telnet software, or web interface to communicate with the device. To assign IP parameters to the switch, you must perform the following tasks: • Log in to the switch with administrator privileges using the console interface. • Assign an IP address and subnet mask to a VLAN.
Using Telnet 6 Configure the default route for the switch using the following command: configure iproute add default {} For example: configure iproute add default 123.45.67.
Managing the Switch Using Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of ExtremeWare that allows you to encrypt Telnet session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch, or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system. Image and configuration files may also be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Protocol 2 (SCP2).
Using SNMP Accessing Switch Agents To have access to the SNMP agent residing in the switch, at least one VLAN must have an IP address assigned to it. By default, SNMP access and SNMPv1/v2c traps are enabled. SNMP access and SNMP traps can be disabled and enabled independently—you can disable SNMP access but still allow SNMP traps to be sent, or vice versa. Supported MIBs In addition to private MIBs, the switch supports the standard MIBs listed in Appendix A.
Managing the Switch Use the none option to remove a previously configured access-profile. • Community strings—The community strings allow a simple method of authentication between the switch and the remote Network Manager. There are two types of community strings on the switch. Read community strings provide read-only access to the switch. The default read-only community string is public. Read-write community strings provide read and write access to the switch.
Using SNMP already been using SNMPv1/v2c trap receivers, trap groups are very easy to incorporate into your network. You cannot define your own trap groups. If you need to define more selectively which notifications to receive, you will need to use the notification filter capabilities available in SNMPv3.

Using SNMP • RFC 3415, View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), talks about VACM as a way to access the MIB. SNMPv3 Overview The SNMPv3 standards for network management were primarily driven the need for greater security and access control. The new standards use a modular design and model management information by cleanly defining a message processing subsystem, a security subsystem, and an access control subsystem.
Managing the Switch SNMPv3 Security In SNMPv3 the User-Based Security Model (USM) for SNMP was introduced. USM deals with security related aspects like authentication, encryption of SNMP messages and defining users and their various access security levels. This standard also encompass protection against message delay and message replay. USM Timeliness Mechanisms There is one SNMPv3 engine on an Extreme switch, identified by its snmpEngineID.
Using SNMP To delete a user, use the following command: configure snmpv3 delete user [all-non-defaults | {hex} ] NOTE In the SNMPv3 specifications there is the concept of a security name. In the ExtremeWare implementation, the user name and security name are identical. In this manual we use both terms to refer to the same thing. Groups. Groups are used to manage access for the MIB.
Managing the Switch • SNMPv2c—community strings based security • SNMPv3—USM security The default is User-Based Security Model (USM). You can select the security model based on the network manager in your network. The three security levels supported by USM are: • noAuthnoPriv—No authentication, no privacy. This is the case with existing SNMPv1/v2c agents. • AuthnoPriv—Authentication, no privacy. Messages are tested only for authentication. • AuthPriv—Authentication, privacy.
Using SNMP To define a view that includes the entire MIB-2, use the following subtree/mask: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 / 1.1.1.1.1.0.0.0 which, on the command line, is: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 / f8 When you create the MIB view, you can choose to include the MIB subtree/mask, or to exclude the MIB subtree/mask.
Managing the Switch The from option sets the source IP address in the notification packets. The tag-list option allows you to associate a list of tags with the target address. The tag defaultNotify is set by default. Tags are discussed in the section “Notification Tags”.
Authenticating Users To display the association between parameter names and filter profiles, use the following command: show snmpv3 filter-profile {{hex} } {param {hex} } To display the filters that belong a filter profile, use the following command: show snmpv3 filter {{hex} {{subtree}
Managing the Switch NOTE You cannot configure RADIUS and TACACS+ at the same time. RADIUS Client Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS, RFC 2138) is a mechanism for authenticating and centrally administrating access to network nodes. The ExtremeWare RADIUS client implementation allows authentication for Telnet, Vista, or console access to the switch.
Using the Simple Network Time Protocol Configuring and Using SNTP To use SNTP, follow these steps: 1 Identify the host(s) that are configured as NTP server(s). Additionally, identify the preferred method for obtaining NTP updates. The options are for the NTP server to send out broadcasts, or for switches using NTP to query the NTP server(s) directly. A combination of both methods is possible. You must identify the method that should be used for the switch being configured.
Managing the Switch Table 14: Time Zone Configuration Command Options (Continued) absolute_day Specifies a specific day of a specific year on which to begin or end DST. Format is: // where: • is specified as 1-12 • is specified as 1-31 • is specified as 1970 - 2035 The year must be the same for the begin and end dates. time_of_day Specifies the time of day to begin or end Daylight Savings Time.

3 Accessing the Switch This chapter covers the following topics: • Understanding the Command Syntax on page 69 • Line-Editing Keys on page 72 • Command History on page 72 • Common Commands on page 72 • Configuring Management Access on page 74 • Domain Name Service Client Services on page 77 • Checking Basic Connectivity on page 78 Understanding the Command Syntax This section describes the steps to take when entering a command.
Accessing the Switch 3 The value part of the command specifies how you want the parameter to be set. Values include numerics, strings, or addresses, depending on the parameter. 4 After entering the complete command, press [Return]. NOTE If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command-line prompt, it indicates that you have outstanding configuration changes that have not been saved. For more information on saving configuration changes, see Appendix B. Syntax Helper The CLI has a built-in syntax helper.
Understanding the Command Syntax Switch Numerical Ranges Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers use the parameter in the syntax. A portlist can be a range of numbers, for example: port 1-3 You can add additional port numbers to the list, separated by a comma: port 1-3,6,8 Names All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Names must begin with an alphabetical character and are delimited by whitespace, unless enclosed in quotation marks.
Accessing the Switch Limits The command line can process up to 200 characters, including spaces. If you enter more than 200 characters, the switch generates a stack overflow error and processes the first 200 characters. Line-Editing Keys Table 17 describes the line-editing keys available using the CLI. Table 17: Line-Editing Keys Key(s) Description Backspace Deletes character to left of cursor and shifts remainder of line to left.
Common Commands Table 18: Common Commands (Continued) Command Description configure account {encrypted} {} Configures a user account password. configure banner Configures the banner string. You can enter up to 24 rows of 79-column text that is displayed before the login prompt of each session. Press [Return] at the beginning of a line to terminate the command and apply the banner. To clear the banner, press [Return] at the beginning of the first line.
Accessing the Switch Table 18: Common Commands (Continued) Command Description disable telnet Disables Telnet access to the switch. disable web Disables web access to the switch. enable bootp vlan [ | all] Enables BOOTP for one or more VLANs. enable cli-config-logging Enables the logging of CLI configuration commands to the Syslog for auditing purposes. The default setting is enabled.
Configuring Management Access User Account A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters, with the exception of: • User account database. • SNMP community strings. A user-level account can use the ping command to test device reachability, and change the password assigned to the account name.

Configuring Ports Combination Ports” on page 89. If you plan to use the automatic failover feature, ensure that port settings are set correctly for autonegotiation. Fiber ports run at 1000 Mbps, regardless of whether you attempt to manually slow them using the CLI. If you plan on running the copper ports at 1000 Mbps, it is recommended that you keep autonegotiation on. For ports running at slower speeds, you can manually configure the speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and disable autonegotiation.
Jumbo Frames of time it takes to transmit one byte on the link at the specified or negotiated link speed. The configured Interpacket Gap value has no effect on received packets. The default value is 12. The minimum and maximum allowed values range between 12 and 1023. The standard effective Interpacket Gap for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces ranges between 12 and 1023. Some vendors’ 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces drop packets when packets are transmitted using a value of 12.
Configuring Ports Jumbo Frames Example The following example create two VLANs sw1 and sw2. It adds port 12 to sw1 and port 13 to sw2. It configures port 12 and 13 for jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes (including CRC). It also configures VLANs sw1 and sw2 to accept IP packets up to 9194 bytes.
Load Sharing on the Switch 3 Assign an IP address to the VLAN. 4 Enable ipforwarding on the VLAN. 5 Set the MTU size for the VLAN, using the following command: configure ip-mtu vlan The ip-mtu value can be 1500 - 9194, with 1500 the default. NOTE To set the MTU size greater than 1500, all ports in the VLAN must have jumbo frames enabled. IP Fragmentation within a VLAN ExtremeWare supports IP fragmentation within a VLAN. This feature does not require you to configure the MTU size.
Configuring Ports may be compatible with third-party trunking or link-aggregation algorithms. Check with an Extreme Networks technical representative for more information. Load-Sharing Algorithm The Summit 400-48 uses an address-based load-sharing algorithm as the distribution technique to determine the output port selection. Algorithm selection is not intended for use in predictive traffic engineering.
Load Sharing on the Switch Configuring Switch Load Sharing To set up a switch to load share among ports, you must create a load-sharing group of ports. The first port in the load-sharing group is configured to be the “master” logical port. This is the reference port used in configuration commands. It can be thought of as the logical port representing the entire port group.

Extreme Discovery Protocol NOTE When a mirrored port is configured, the forwarding database for items being mirrored (e.g., ports or VLANs) is automatically cleared if the link status on the mirrored port changes. This clearing results in some temporary flooding until the normal learning process completes. Removing or inserting a probe device into the mirror port may appear to cause flooding, but this temporary condition is normal.
Configuring Ports The selection of whether a copper or fiber connection is determined by the order in which the cables are first inserted into the switch. For example, if you inserted a SFP connector into 1X and then a Ethernet cable into port 1, the fiber port becomes the primary uplink port and port 1 becomes the redundant port. Hardware determines when a link is lost and swaps the primary and redundant ports to maintain stability.
5 Virtual LANs (VLANs) This chapter covers the following topics: • Overview of Virtual LANs on page 91 • Types of VLANs on page 92 • VLAN Names on page 96 • Configuring VLANs on the Switch on page 97 • Displaying VLAN Settings on page 98 • MAC-Based VLANs on page 99 • on page 101 Setting up Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) on the switch eases many time-consuming tasks of network administration while increasing efficiency in network operations.
Virtual LANs (VLANs) Types of VLANs VLANs can be created according to the following criteria: • Physical port • 802.1Q tag • Ethernet, LLC SAP, or LLC/SNAP Ethernet protocol type • MAC address • A combination of these criteria Port-Based VLANs In a port-based VLAN, a VLAN name is given to a group of one or more ports on the switch. All ports are members of the port-based VLAN default.
Types of VLANs Spanning Switches with Port-Based VLANs To create a port-based VLAN that spans two switches, you must do two things: 1 Assign the port on each switch to the VLAN. 2 Cable the two switches together using one port on each switch per VLAN. Figure 14 illustrates a single VLAN that spans a BlackDiamond switch and a Summit 400 switch. All ports on the BlackDiamond switch belong to VLAN Sales. Port 1X and ports 1 through 28 on the Summit 400 switch also belong to VLAN Sales.

VLAN Engineering spans system 1 and system 2 by way of a connection between system 2, port 2X, and system 1, slot 8, port 6.
Types of VLANs Assigning a VLAN Tag Each VLAN may be assigned an 802.1Q VLAN tag. As ports are added to a VLAN with an 802.1Q tag defined, you decide whether each port will use tagging for that VLAN. The default mode of the switch is to have all ports assigned to the VLAN named default with an 802.1Q VLAN tag (VLANid) of 1 assigned. Not all ports in the VLAN must be tagged.

Configuring VLANs on the Switch • Quotation mark VLAN names must begin with an alphabetical letter. Quotation marks can be used to enclose a VLAN name that includes special characters, including single quotation marks or commas. Spaces may not be included, even within quotation marks. For example, the names test, test1, and test_15 are acceptable VLAN names. The names “test&5” and “joe’s” may be used if enclosed in quotation marks. Names such as “5test” or “test 5” are not permitted.
Virtual LANs (VLANs) NOTE If you plan to use this VLAN as a control VLAN for an EAPS domain, do NOT assign an IP address to the VLAN. 3 Assign a VLANid, if any ports in this VLAN will use a tag. 4 Assign one or more ports to the VLAN. As you add each port to the VLAN, decide if the port will use an 802.1Q tag. VLAN Configuration Examples The following example creates a port-based VLAN named accounting, assigns the IP address 132.15.121.
MAC-Based VLANs • How the VLAN was created. • IP address. • STPD information. • Protocol information. • QoS profile information. • Ports assigned. • Tagged/untagged status for each port. • How the ports were added to the VLAN. • Number of VLANs configured on the switch. Use the detail option to display the detailed format. MAC-Based VLANs MAC-Based VLANs allow physical ports to be mapped to a VLAN based on the source MAC address learned in the FDB.
Virtual LANs (VLANs) 00:00:00:00:00:01 2 matching entries sales any • The group “any” is equivalent to the group “0”. Ports that are configured as “any” allow any MAC address to be assigned to a VLAN, regardless of group association. • Partial configurations of the MAC to VLAN database can be downloaded to the switch using the timed download configuration feature.
MAC-Based VLANs To display timed download information, use the following command: show switch Example In relation to MAC-based VLANs, the downloaded file is an ASCII file that consists of CLI commands used to configure the most recent MAC-to-VLAN database. This feature is different from the normal download configuration command in that it allows incremental configuration without the automatic rebooting of the switch.

6 Forwarding Database (FDB) This chapter describes the following topics: • Overview of the FDB on page 103 • Associating QoS Profiles with an FDB Entry on page 105 • FDB Configuration Examples on page 106 • Displaying FDB Entries on page 107 Overview of the FDB The switch maintains a database of all media access control (MAC) addresses received on all of its ports. It uses the information in this database to decide whether a frame should be forwarded or filtered.
Forwarding Database (FDB) • You can enter and update entries using the command line interface (CLI). • Certain static entries are added by the system upon switch boot up. FDB Entry Types FDB entries may be dynamic or static, and may be permanent or non-permanent. The following describes the types of entries that can exist in the FDB: • Dynamic entries—A dynamic entry is learned by the switch by examining packets to determine the source MAC address, VLAN, and port information.
Associating QoS Profiles with an FDB Entry Non-permanent static entries are created by the switch software for various reasons, typically upon switch boot up. They are identified by the “s” flag in show fdb output. If the FDB entry aging time is set to zero, all entries in the database are considered static, non-aging entries. This means that they do not age, but they are still deleted if the switch is reset.
Forwarding Database (FDB) learned, it is created as a permanent dynamic entry, designated by “dpm” in the flags field of the show fdb output.
Displaying FDB Entries Overriding 802.1p Priority This example associates the QoS profile qp5 with the wildcard permanent FDB entry any-mac on VLAN v110: create fdbentry any-mac vlan v110 dynamic ingress-qosprofile qp5 Configuring the FDB Aging Time You can configure the again time for dynamic FDB entries using the following command: configure fdb agingtime If the aging time is set to zero, all aging entries in the database are defined as static, nonaging entries.

7 Quality of Service (QoS) This chapter covers the following topics: • Overview of Policy-Based Quality of Service on page 110 • Applications and Types of QoS on page 110 • Configuring QoS on page 112 • QoS Profiles on page 112 • Traffic Groupings on page 113 — IP-Based Traffic Groupings on page 114 — MAC-Based Traffic Groupings on page 114 — Explicit Class of Service (802.
Quality of Service (QoS) Overview of Policy-Based Quality of Service Policy-based QoS allows you to protect bandwidth for important categories of applications or specifically limit the bandwidth associated with less critical traffic. For example, if voice–over-IP traffic requires a reserved amount of bandwidth to function properly, using policy-based QoS, you can reserve sufficient bandwidth critical to this type of application.
Applications and Types of QoS where there are speed differences (for example, going from Gigabit Ethernet to Fast Ethernet). Key QoS parameters for video applications include minimum bandwidth, priority, and possibly buffering (depending upon the behavior of the application). Critical Database Applications Database applications, such as those associated with ERP, typically do not demand significant bandwidth and are tolerant of delay.
Quality of Service (QoS) Configuring QoS To configure QoS, you define how your switch responds to different categories of traffic by creating and configuring QoS profiles. You then group traffic into categories (according to application, as previously discussed) and assign each category to a QoS profile. Configuring QoS is a three-step process: 1 Configure the QoS profile. QoS profile—A class of service that is defined through prioritization settings.
Traffic Groupings Table 22: QoS Parameters (Continued) Qp2 Q1 Lowhi 0 0% 100% Qp3 Q2 Normal 0 0% 100% Qp4 Q3 Normalhi 0 0% 100% Qp5 Q4 Medium 0 0% 100% Qp6 Q5 Mediumhi 0 0% 100% Qp7 Q6 High 0 0% 100% Qp8 Q7 Highhi 0 0% 100% Traffic Groupings A traffic grouping is a classification of traffic that has one or more attributes in common. Traffic is typically grouped based on the applications discussed starting on page 110.
Quality of Service (QoS) IP-Based Traffic Groupings IP-based traffic groupings are based on any combination of the following items: • IP source or destination address • TCP or UDP protocols • TCP/UDP port information IP-based traffic groupings are defined using access lists. Access lists are discussed in detail in “IP Access Lists (ACLs)” on page 142.
Traffic Groupings Dynamic MAC Addresses Dynamic MAC addresses can be assigned a QoS profile whenever traffic is coming from or going to the MAC address. This is done using the following command: create fdbentry [ | any-mac] vlan dynamic ingress-qosprofile {ingress-qosprofile } For any port on which the specified MAC address is learned in the specified VLAN, the port is assigned the specified QoS profile.
Quality of Service (QoS) on an application-specific basis. Extreme switch products have the capability of observing and manipulating packet marking information with no performance penalty. The documented capabilities for 802.1p priority markings or DiffServ capabilities (if supported) are not impacted by the switching or routing configuration of the switch. For example, 802.
Traffic Groupings Table 24: 802.1p Priority Value-to-QoS Profile Default Mapping (Continued) Priority Value QoS Profile 6 Qp7 7 Qp8 Configuring 802.1p Priority For Slow Path Traffic Some traffic can originate on the switch, for example Ping or Telnet packets. This traffic comes from the switch CPU and is referred to as slow path traffic. This traffic is internally tagged with an 802.1p priority of 7, by default, and egresses the VLAN through the highest queue.

Replacing DiffServ Code Points An access list can be used to change the DiffServ code point in the packet prior to the packet being transmitted by the switch.
Quality of Service (QoS) VLAN A VLAN traffic grouping indicates that all intra-VLAN switched traffic and all routed traffic sourced from the named VLAN uses the indicated QoS profile. To configure a VLAN traffic grouping, use the following command: configure vlan qosprofile For example, all devices on VLAN servnet require use of the QoS profile qp4.
Modifying a QoS Configuration port. Data is captured for a specified port and aggregated over all other ports in the system. The data leaving the QoS monitor port does reflect the aggregate, but it also reflects the original data captured at the ingress ports. Even if you attempt to change the priority using an access-list, the QoS monitor still reflects the statistics before the access-list changed the traffic at the egress port.
Quality of Service (QoS) destination MAC-based grouping, re-apply the QoS profile to the static FDB entry, as documented. You can also save and reboot the switch. • For physical and logical groupings of a source port or VLAN, re-apply the QoS profile to the source port or VLAN, as documented. You can also save and reboot the switch. Traffic Rate-Limiting The Summit 400 switch rate-limiting method is based on creating a rate limit, a specific type of access control list.

Status Monitoring and Statistics • Received Byte Count (RX Byte Count)—The total number of bytes that were received by the port, including bad or lost frames. This number includes bytes contained in the Frame Check Sequence (FCS), but excludes bytes in the preamble. • Received Broadcast (RX Bcast)—The total number of frames received by the port that are addressed to a broadcast address.
Port Monitoring Display Keys • Receive Alignment Errors (RX Align)—The total number of frames received by the port that occurs if a frame has a CRC error and does not contain an integral number of octets. • Receive Frames Lost (RX Lost)—The total number of frames received by the port that were lost because of buffer overflow in the switch. Port Monitoring Display Keys Table 26 describes the keys used to control the displays that appear when you issue any of the show port commands.
Status Monitoring and Statistics a log message, or require an action. For example, a link going down, a user logging in, a command entered on the command line, or the software executing a debugging statement, are all events that might generate a log message. The new system for saving, displaying, and filtering events is called the Event Management System (EMS). With EMS, you have a lot more options about which events generate log messages, where the messages are sent, and how they are displayed.
Event Management System/Logging disable log target [console-display | memory-buffer | nvram | session | syslog [ {:} [local0 ... local7]]] NOTE Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the syslog host facility.

Since the ability to display log messages on other sessions was added, the target name session was chosen.
Status Monitoring and Statistics RMON Using the Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities of the switch allows network administrators to improve system efficiency and reduce the load on the network. The following sections explain more about the RMON concept and the RMON features supported by the switch. NOTE You can only use the RMON features of the system if you have an RMON management application, and have enabled RMON on the switch.
RMON History The History group provides historical views of network performance by taking periodic samples of the counters supplied by the Statistics group. The group features user-defined sample intervals and bucket counters for complete customization of trend analysis. The group is useful for analysis of traffic patterns and trends on a LAN segment or VLAN, and to establish baseline information indicating normal operating parameters.
Status Monitoring and Statistics Event Actions The actions that you can define for each alarm are shown in Table 29. Table 29: Event Actions Action High Threshold No action Notify only Send trap to all trap receivers. Notify and log Send trap; place entry in RMON log. To be notified of events using SNMP traps, you must configure one or more trap receivers, as described in Chapter 2. 140 ExtremeWare 7.

Security MAC-Based VLANs MAC-Based VLANs allow physical ports to be mapped to a VLAN based on the source MAC address learned in the FDB. This feature allows you to designate a set of ports that have their VLAN membership dynamically determined by the MAC address of the end station that plugs into the physical port. You can configure the source MAC address-to-VLAN mapping either offline or dynamically on the switch.
IP Access Lists (ACLs) to compare with the incoming packets, and an action to take for packets that match. When you create an access list, you must specify a value for each of the fields that make up the access mask used by the list.
Security matching packets arrive at a rate above the limit you set. When you create a rate limit, you must specify a value for each of the fields that make up the access mask used by the list.
IP Access Lists (ACLs) forwarded. A permit access list can also apply a QoS profile to the packet and modify the packet’s 802.1p value and the DiffServ code point. Access Mask Precedence Numbers The access mask precedence number determines the order in which each rule is examined by the switch and is optional. Access control list entries are evaluated from highest precedence to lowest precedence.
Security Maximum Entries If you try to create an access mask when no more are available, the system will issue a warning message. Three access masks are constantly used by the system, leaving a maximum of 13 user-definable access masks. However, enabling some features causes the system to use additional access masks, reducing the number available. For each of the following features that you enable, the system will use one access mask. When the feature is disabled, the mask will again be available.
IP Access Lists (ACLs) Access Control List Examples This section presents three access control list examples: • Using the permit-establish keyword • Filtering ICMP packets • Using a rate limit Using the Permit-Established Keyword This example uses an access list that permits TCP sessions (Telnet, FTP, and HTTP) to be established in one direction. The switch, shown in Figure 20, is configured as follows: • Two VLANs, NET10 VLAN and NET20 VLAN, are defined.
Security Figure 21: Access control list denies all TCP and UDP traffic 10.10.10.1 10.10.20.1 10.10.10.100 10.10.20.100 NET10 VLAN NET20 VLAN TCP UDP ICMP ES4K010 Step 2—Allow TCP traffic. The next set of access list commands permits TCP-based traffic to flow. Because each session is bi-directional, an access list must be defined for each direction of the traffic flow. UDP traffic is still blocked.
IP Access Lists (ACLs) Figure 23: Host A initiates a TCP session to host B SYN SYN / ACK ACK Host A Host B EW_036 An access list that uses the permit-established keyword filters the SYN packet in one direction. Use the permit-established keyword to allow only host A to be able to establish a TCP session to host B and to prevent any TCP sessions from being initiated by host B, as illustrated in Figure 23.
Security Figure 25: ICMP packets are filtered out 10.10.10.1 10.10.20.1 10.10.10.100 10.10.20.100 NET10 VLAN NET20 VLAN ICMP ES4K011 Example 3: Rate-limiting Packets This example creates a rate limit to limit the incoming traffic from the 10.10.10.x subnet to 10 Mbps on ingress port 2. Ingress traffic on port 2 below the rate limit is sent to QoS profile qp1 with its DiffServ code point set to 7. Ingress traffic on port 2 in excess of the rate limit will be dropped.
Network Login Authentication Types Authentication is handled either as a web-based process or as described in the IEEE 802.1x specification. The initial release of Network Login by Extreme Networks supported only web-based authentication, but later releases have supported both types of authentication. Although somewhat similar in design and purpose, web-based and 802.1x authentication of Network Login can be considered complementary, with Extreme Networks offering a smooth transition from web-based to 802.
Security Co-existence of Web-Based and 802.1x Authentication ExtremeWare supports both web-based and 802.1x authentication. Authenticating with 802.1x does not require any additional commands besides those used for web-based mode. When a port is configured for Network Login, the port is put in unauthenticated state. It is ready to perform either type of authentication. Whether to perform web-based or 802.1x depends on the type of packets being received from the client. Web-based mode uses HTTP, while 802.
Network Login Authentication Methods The authentication methods supported are a matter between the supplicant and the authentication server. The most commonly used methods are: • MD5-Challenge. • Transport Layer Security (TLS), which uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and strong mutual authentication. • Tunneled TLS (TTLS), which is a Funk/Certicom proposal. TLS represents the most secure protocol among these methods. TTLS is advertised to be as strong as TLS.
Security Add the following line to the RADIUS server dictionary file for netlogin-only enabled users: Extreme:Extreme-Netlogin-Only = Enabled Netlogin-Only Disabled A netlogin-only disabled user can log in using Network Login and can also access the switch using Telnet, SSH, or HTTP.
Network Login Table 30: VSA definitions for web-based network login VSA Attribute Value Type Sent-in Description Extreme-Netlogin -Vlan 203 String Access-Accept Name of destination VLAN (must already exist on switch) after successful authentication. Extreme-Netlogin -Url 204 String Access-Accept Destination web page after successful authentication. Extreme-Netlogin -Url-Desc 205 String Access-Accept Text description of network login URL attribute.
Security • Once the first MAC is authenticated, the port is transitioned to the authenticated state and other unauthenticated MACs can listen to all data destined for the first MAC. This could raise some security concerns as unauthenticated MACs can listen to all broadcast and multicast traffic directed to a Network Login-authenticated port.
Network Login Note that the 192.168 IP address range can be used on all switches because the user is on the VLAN only long enough to log in to the network. After the login is complete, the user is switched to a permanent VLAN with a real IP address delivered from a real DHCP server. The following example demonstrates the second network login configuration step for a Summit 48si edge switch, in which the guest VLAN is created: create vlan guest configure guest ipa 45.100.1.
Security NOTE The idea of explicit release/renew is required to bring the network login client machine in the same subnet as the connected VLAN. In Campus Mode using web-based authentication, this requirement is mandatory after every logout and before login again as the port moves back and forth between the temporary and permanent VLANs. On other hand in ISP Mode, release/renew of IP address is not required, as the network login client machine stays in the same subnet as the network login VLAN.
Network Login DHCP Server on the Switch A DHCP server with limited configuration capabilities is included in the switch to provide IP addresses to clients. The DHCP server is not supported as a standalone feature. It is used only as part of the Network Login feature. DHCP is enabled on a per port, per VLAN basis.
Security Where is the DNS name of the switch. For example, configure netlogin base-url network-access.net makes the switch send DNS responses back to the netlogin clients when a DNS query is made for network-access.net. To configure the network login redirect page, use the following command: configure netlogin redirect-page Where defines the redirection information for the users once logged in.
Using Routing Access Profiles Using Routing Access Profiles To use routing access profiles, you must perform the following steps: 1 Create an access profile. 2 Configure the access profile to be of type permit, deny, or none. 3 Add entries to the access profile. Entries can be one of the following types: — IP addresses and subnet masks — VLAN 4 Apply the access profile. Creating an Access Profile The first thing to do when using routing access profiles is to create an access profile.
Security Adding an Access Profile Entry Next, configure the access profile, using the following command: configure access-profile add {} {permit | deny} [ipaddress {exact} | as-path | ipxnet | ipxsap | vlan] The following sections describe the configure access-profile add command. Specifying Subnet Masks The subnet mask specified in the access profile command is interpreted as a reverse mask.
Using Routing Access Profiles Table 32: Regular Expression Notation (Continued) Character Definition ^ Matches the beginning of the AS path $ Matches the end of the AS path – Matches the beginning or end, or a space - Separates the beginning and end of a range of numbers * Matches 0 or more instances + Matches 1 or more instances ? Matches 0 or 1 instance { Start of AS SET segment in the AS path } End of AS SET segment in the AS path ( Start of a confederation segment in the AS path )
Security configure access-profile delete Applying Access Profiles Once the access profile is defined, apply it to one or more routing protocols or VLANs. When an access profile is applied to a protocol function (for example, the export of RIP routes) or a VLAN, this forms an access policy. A profile can be used by multiple routing protocol functions or VLANs, but a protocol function or VLAN can use only one access profile.

Security • Inter-area Filter—For switches configured to support multiple OSPF areas (an ABR function), an access profile can be applied to an OSPF area that filters a set of OSPF inter-area routes from being sourced from any other areas.

Security Denial of Service Protection A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack occurs when a critical network or computing resource is overwhelmed and rendered inoperative in a way that legitimate requests for service cannot succeed. In its simplest form, a Denial of Service attack is indistinguishable from normal heavy traffic. The Summit 400 switch is not vulnerable to this simple attack because it is designed to process packets in hardware at wire speed.
Denial of Service Protection For example, to review the DoS traffic for port 1, issue this command: sh cpu-dos-protect ports 1 The output from this command follows: * ex160:22 # sh cpu-dos-protect ports 1 Cpu dos protect: enabled Port L3Miss L3Err Bcast IpUnkMcast Learn Curr Int Cfg Thr Cfg Int Pass ______________________________________________________________________ 1 150 150 150 150 150 1 150 1 3 Trusted ports: none The output of this show command displays the following information, which can help yo

Authenticating Users Using RADIUS or TACACS+ configure radius [primary | secondary] server [ | ] {} client-ip [] To configure the timeout if a server fails to respond, use the following command: configure radius timeout Configuring the Shared Secret Password In addition to specifying the RADIUS server IP information, RADIUS also contains a means to verify communication between network devices and the server.
Security To enable RADIUS accounting, use the following command: enable radius-accounting To disable RADIUS accounting, use the following command: disable radius-accounting Per-Command Authentication Using RADIUS The RADIUS implementation can be used to perform per-command authentication. Per-command authentication allows you to define several levels of user capabilities by controlling the permitted command sets based on the RADIUS username and password.
Authenticating Users Using RADIUS or TACACS+ When you configure the Cistron server for use with Extreme switches, you must pay close attention to the users file setup. The Cistron RADIUS dictionary associates the word Administrative-User with Service-Type value 6, and expects the Service-Type entry to appear alone on one line with a leading tab character.
Security After modifying the ‘vendor.ini’ file, the desired user accounts must be configured for the Max-Concurrent connections. Using the SBR Administrator application, enable the check box for ‘Max-Concurrent connections’ and fill in the desired number of maximum sessions. Extreme RADIUS Extreme Networks provides its users, free of charge, a radius server based on Merit RADIUS. Extreme RADIUS provides per-command authentication capabilities in addition to the standard set of radius features.

Security In PROFILE2, a user associated with this profile can use any enable command, the clear counters command and the show management command, but can perform no other functions on the switch. We also know from the users file that gerald has these capabilities.
Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) attempting to administer the switch. TACACS+ is used to communicate between the switch and an authentication database. NOTE You cannot use RADIUS and TACACS+ at the same time. You can configure two TACACS+ servers, specifying the primary server address, secondary server address, and UDP port number to be used for TACACS+ sessions.
Security • Generating or specifying an authentication key for the SSH2 session. To enable SSH2, use the following command: enable ssh2 {access-profile [ | none]} {port } You can specify a list of predefined clients that are allowed SSH2 access to the switch. To do this, you must create an access profile that contains a list of allowed IP addresses. You can also specify a TCP port number to be used for SSH2 communication. By default the TCP port number is 22.
Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) The user must have administrator-level access to the switch. The switch can be specified by its switch name or IP address. Configuration or image files stored on the system running the SSH2 client may be named as desired by the user. However, files on the switch have predefined names, as follows: • configuration.cfg—The current configuration • incremental.cfg—The current incremental configuration • primary.img—The primary ExtremeWare image • secondary.

Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching Figure 28: Gigabit Ethernet fiber EAPS MAN ring Transit node Transit node Gigabit Ethernet Fiber EAPS MAN ring Transit node Transit node Master node EW_070 One port of the master node is designated the master node’s primary port (P) to the ring; another port is designated as the master node’s secondary port (S) to the ring.
Overview of the EAPS Protocol Figure 29: EAPS operation S4 S3 S5 S2 S6 P S S1 Direction of health-check message Secondary port is logically blocked Master node EW_071 If the ring is complete, the master node logically blocks all data traffic in the transmit and receive directions on the secondary port to prevent a loop. If the master node detects a break in the ring, it unblocks its secondary port and allows data traffic to be transmitted and received through it.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching Table 33: EAPS Terms (Continued) Term Description protected VLAN A VLAN that carries data traffic through an EAPS domain. You must configure one or more protected VLANs for each EAPS domain. (Also known as data VLAN) Fault Detection and Recovery EAPS fault detection on a ring is based on a single control VLAN per EAPS domain. This EAPS domain provides protection to one or more data-carrying VLANs called protected VLANs.
Fault Detection and Recovery • Polling response Link Down Message Sent by a Transit Node When any transit node detects a loss of link connectivity on any of its ring ports, it immediately sends a “link down” message on the control VLAN using its good link to the master node. When the master node receives the “link down” message (see Figure 30), it immediately declares a “failed” state and opens its logically blocked secondary port on all the protected VLANs.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching During the time between when the transit node detects that the link is operable again and when the master node detects that the ring is complete, the secondary port on the master node is still open and data could start traversing the transit node port that just came up.
Configuring EAPS on a Switch Defining the EAPS Mode of the Switch To configure the EAPS node type of the switch, use the following command: configure eaps mode [master | transit] One node on the ring must be configured as the master node for the specified domain; all other nodes on the ring are configured as transit nodes for the same domain. The following command example identifies this switch as the master node for the EAPS domain named eaps_1.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching the secondary port blocking, and writes a critical error message to syslog warning the user that there is a fault in the ring. An SNMP trap is also sent. To use the failtimer expiry action of earlier releases, use the open-secondary-port parameter. NOTE Increasing the failtime value provides more protection by waiting longer to receive a health-check packet when the network is congested.
Configuring EAPS on a Switch NOTE The control VLAN must NOT be configured with an IP address. In addition, only ring ports may be added to this control VLAN. No other ports can be members of this VLAN. Failure to observe these restrictions can result in a loop in the network. NOTE When you configure the VLAN that will act as the control VLAN, that VLAN must be assigned a QoS profile of Qp8, and the ring ports of the control VLAN must be tagged.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching NOTE The configuration of the Superbridge, SubBridge, and IP range control VLANs cannot be modified.
Configuring EAPS on a Switch To display more detailed EAPS status information, use the following command: show eaps {} {detail} If you enter the show eaps command without an argument or keyword, the command displays a summary of status information for all configured EAPS domains. You can use the detail keyword to display more detailed status information. NOTE The output displayed by this command depends on whether the node is a transit node or a master node.
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching Table 34: show eaps Display Fields (Continued) Field Description State: On a transit node, the command displays one of the following states: • Idle—The EAPS domain has been enabled, but the configuration is not complete. • Links-Up—This EAPS domain is running, and both its ports are up and in the FORWARDING state. • Links-Down—This EAPS domain is running, but one or both of its ports are down.

11 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) This chapter covers the following topics: • Overview of the Spanning Tree Protocol on page 195 • Spanning Tree Domains on page 196 • STP Configurations on page 198 • Per-VLAN Spanning Tree on page 202 • Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol on page 202 • STP Rules and Restrictions on page 213 • Configuring STP on the Switch on page 213 • Displaying STP Settings on page 216 Using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) functionality of the switch makes your network more fault tolerant.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Spanning Tree Domains The switch can be partitioned into multiple virtual bridges. Each virtual bridge can run an independent Spanning Tree instance. Each Spanning Tree instance is called a Spanning Tree Domain (STPD). Each STPD has its own root bridge and active path. After an STPD is created, one or more VLANs can be assigned to it. NOTE A VLAN can span multiple STPDs.
Spanning Tree Domains Port Modes An STP port has two modes of operation: • 802.1d mode This mode is used for backward compatibility with previous STP versions and for compatibility with third-party switches using IEEE standard 802.1d. BPDUs are sent untagged in 1D mode. Because of this, on any given physical interface there can be only one STPD running in 1D mode.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Rapid Root Failover ExtremeWare supports rapid root failover for faster STP failover recovery times in STP 802.1d mode. If the active root port link goes down ExtremeWare recalculates STP and elects a new root port. Rapid root failover allows the new root port to immediately begin forwarding, skipping the standard listening and learning phases. Rapid root failover occurs only when the link goes down, and not when there is any other root port failure, such as missing BPDUs.
STP Configurations Figure 31: Multiple Spanning Tree Domains Sales, Personnel, Marketing Manufacturing, Engineering, Marketing Switch A Switch Y Switch B STPD 1 Switch Z Switch M STPD 2 Sales, Personnel, Manufacturing, Engineering, Marketing ES4K016 When the switches in this configuration start up, STP configures each STPD such that there are no active loops in the topology. STP could configure the topology in a number of ways to make it loop-free.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Figure 32: Tag-based STP configuration Marketing & Sales Marketing, Sales & Engineering Switch 1 Switch 3 Switch 2 Sales & Engineering ES4K023 The tag-based network in Figure 32 has the following configuration: • Switch 1 contains VLAN Marketing and VLAN Sales. • Switch 2 contains VLAN Engineering and VLAN Sales. • Switch 3 contains VLAN Marketing, VLAN Engineering, and VLAN Sales.
STP Configurations Alternatively, the same VLAN may span multiple large geographical areas (because they belong to the same enterprise) and may traverse a great many nodes. In this case, it is desirable to have multiple STP domains operating in a single VLAN, one for each looped area. The justifications include the following: • The complexity of the STP algorithm increases, and performance drops, with the size and complexity of the network. The 802.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Switching products that implement Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) have been in existence for many years and are widely deployed. To support STP configurations that use PVST, ExtremeWare has an operational mode called PVST+. Summit 400 has limited support for PVST+ and only operates in compatibility mode. As stated before, a VLAN can span multiple STPDs.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol devices across the network. For broadcast links, there is no difference in convergence time between STP and RSTP. RSTP supersedes legacy STP protocols, supports the existing STP parameters and configurations, and allows for seamless interoperability with legacy STP. NOTE RSTP is not supported in conjunction with ESRP. RSTP Terms Table 35 describes the terms associated with RSTP. Table 35: RSTP Terms Term Description root port Provides the shortest path to the root bridge.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) RSTP assigns one of four port roles to bridge ports in the network, as described in Table 36. Table 36: RSTP port roles Port Role Description Root Provides the shortest path to the root bridge. There is only one root port per bridge; the root bridge does not have a root port. If a bridge has two or more ports with the same path cost, the port with the best port identifier becomes the root port.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Configuring Link Types. By default, all ports are broadcast links. To configure the ports in an STPD, use the following command: configure stpd ports link-type [auto | edge | broadcast | point-to-point] • auto—Configures the ports as auto links. If the link is in full duplex mode, or if link aggregation is enabled on the port, an auto link behaves like a point-to-point link. • edge—Configures the ports as edge ports.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Table 39: Derived timers (Continued) Timer Description Hold A port uses the hold timer to restrict the rate that successive BPDUs can be sent. The default value is the same as the value for the bridge hello timer. Recent backup The timer starts when a port leaves the backup role. When this timer is running, the port cannot become a root port. The default value is double the hello time (4 seconds). Recent root The timer starts when a port leaves the root port role.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol • Is a designated port and attaches to another bridge by a point-to-point link and receives an “agree” message from the other bridge port. • Is an edge port. An edge port is a port connected to a non-STP device and is in the forwarding state. The preceding sections provide more information about RSTP behavior.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) To prevent this type of loop from occurring, the recent root timer starts when the port leaves the root port role. The timer stops if the port enters the blocking state. RSTP requires that the recent root timer stops on the previous root port before the new root port can enter the forwarding state. Designated Port Rapid Behavior When a port becomes a new designated port, or the STP priority changes on an existing designated port, the port becomes an unsynced designated port.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Suppose we have a network, as shown in Figure 35, with six bridges (bridge A through bridge F) where the following is true: • Bridge A is the root bridge • Bridge D contains an alternate port in the blocking state • All other ports in the network are in the forwarding state Figure 35: Initial network configuration A B C A,0 A,1 A,2 F E D A,1 A,2 A,3 Designated port Root port Blocked port EW_103a The preceding steps describe how the network reconverges.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 2 Bridge E believes that bridge A is the root bridge. When bridge E receives the BPDU on its root port from bridge F, bridge E: • Determines that it received an inferior BPDU.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol 4 Bridge D believes that bridge A is the root bridge.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 6 To complete the topology change, the following occurs: • Bridge D moves the port that received the agree message into the forwarding state • Bridge F confirms that its receiving port (the port that received the “propose” message) is the root port, and immediately replies with an “agree” message to bridge E to unblock the proposing port Figure 41: Completing the topology change A B C A,0 A,1 A,2 Root port Designated port F E D A,5 A,4 A,3 EW_103g Figure 42 displ
STP Rules and Restrictions STP Rules and Restrictions This section summarizes the rules and restrictions for configuring STP. • EMISTP and PVST+ only operate in compatibility mode on the Summit 400. As stated before, a VLAN can span multiple STPDs. However, on the Summit 400, there is a hardware limitation that restricts each physical port to a single STPD. If the Summit 400 port is already a member of an STPD, then that port cannot be in another VLAN that is in a different STPD, or not in a STPD at all.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) The following parameters can be configured on each STPD: • Hello time • Forward delay • Max age • Bridge priority • StpdID The following parameters can be configured on each port: • Path cost • Port priority • Port mode NOTE The device supports the RFC 1493 Bridge MIB. Parameters of only the s0 default STPD are accessible through this MIB. NOTE If an STPD contains at least one port not in dot1D mode, the STPD must be configured with an StpdID.

IP Unicast Routing Router Interfaces The routing software and hardware routes IP traffic between router interfaces. A router interface is simply a VLAN that has an IP address assigned to it. As you create VLANs with IP addresses belonging to different IP subnets, you can also choose to route between the VLANs. Both the VLAN switching and IP routing function occur within the switch. NOTE Each IP address and mask assigned to a VLAN must represent a unique IP subnet.
Overview of IP Unicast Routing Populating the Routing Table The switch maintains an IP routing table for both network routes and host routes.
IP Unicast Routing • Static routes • Directly attached network interfaces that are not active. NOTE If you define multiple default routes, the route that has the lowest metric is used. If multiple default routes have the same lowest metric, the system picks one of the routes. You can also configure blackhole routes—traffic to these destinations is silently dropped. IP Route Sharing IP route sharing allows multiple equal-cost routes to be used concurrently.
Relative Route Priorities router redundancy and simplify IP client configuration. The switch supports proxy ARP for this type of network configuration. The section describes some example of how to use proxy ARP with the switch.

IP Unicast Routing packet that is to be relayed by the switch. Similarly, if a DHCP reply received by the switch contains a valid relay agent option, the option will be stripped from the packet before it is relayed to the client. The DHCP relay agent option consists of two pieces of data, called sub-options. The first is the agent circuit ID sub-option, and the second is the agent remote ID sub-option.
UDP-Forwarding UDP-Forwarding UDP-forwarding is a flexible and generalized routing utility for handling the directed forwarding of broadcast UDP packets. UDP-forwarding allows applications, such as multiple DHCP relay services from differing sets of VLANs, to be directed to different DHCP servers. The following rules apply to UDP broadcast packets handled by this feature: • If the UDP profile includes BOOTP or DHCP, it is handled according to guidelines in RFC 1542.
IP Unicast Routing UDP Echo Server You can use UDP Echo packets to measure the transit time for data between the transmitting and receiving end. To enable UDP echo server support, use the following command: enable udp-echo-server To disable UDP echo server support, use the following command: disable udp-echo-server 230 ExtremeWare 7.

Interior Gateway Protocols Overview The switch supports the use of two interior gateway protocols (IGPs); the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. RIP is a distance-vector protocol, based on the Bellman-Ford (or distance-vector) algorithm. The distance-vector algorithm has been in use for many years, and is widely deployed and understood. OSPF is a link-state protocol, based on the Dijkstra link-state algorithm.
Overview of RIP Overview of RIP RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) first used in computer routing in the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPAnet) as early as 1969. It is primarily intended for use in homogeneous networks of moderate size. To determine the best path to a distant network, a router using RIP always selects the path that has the least number of hops. Each router that data must traverse is considered to be one hop.
Interior Gateway Protocols Triggered Updates Triggered updates occur whenever a router changes the metric for a route, and it is required to send an update message immediately, even if it is not yet time for a regular update message to be sent. This will generally result in faster convergence, but may also result in more RIP-related traffic.
Overview of OSPF Link-State Database Upon initialization, each router transmits a link-state advertisement (LSA) on each of its interfaces. LSAs are collected by each router and entered into the LSDB of each router. Once all LSAs are received, the router uses the LSDB to calculate the best routes for use in the IP routing table. OSPF uses flooding to distribute LSAs between routers. Any change in routing information is sent to all of the routers in the network.
Interior Gateway Protocols Opaque LSAs Opaque LSAs are a generic OSPF mechanism used to carry auxiliary information in the OSPF database. Opaque LSAs are most commonly used to support OSPF traffic engineering. Normally, support for opaque LSAs is auto-negotiated between OSPF neighbors.
Overview of OSPF NOTE Area 0.0.0.0 exists by default and cannot be deleted or changed. The backbone allows summary information to be exchanged between ABRs. Every ABR hears the area summaries from all other ABRs. The ABR then forms a picture of the distance to all networks outside of its area by examining the collected advertisements, and adding in the backbone distance to each advertising router. When a VLAN is configured to run OSPF, you must configure the area for the VLAN.
Interior Gateway Protocols • Stub area. • NSSA. Virtual links can be configured through normal areas. External routes can be distributed into normal areas. Virtual Links In the situation when a new area is introduced that does not have a direct physical attachment to the backbone, a virtual link is used. A virtual link provides a logical path between the ABR of the disconnected area and the ABR of the normal area that connects to the backbone.
Overview of OSPF Figure 47: Virtual link providing redundancy Virtual link Area 2 ABR 1 Area 1 ABR 2 Area 0 Area 3 EW_017 Point-to-Point Support You can manually configure the OSPF link type for a VLAN. Table 42 describes the link types. Table 42: OSPF Link Types Link Type Number of Routers Description Auto Varies ExtremeWare automatically determines the OSPF link type based on the interface type. This is the default setting.
Interior Gateway Protocols Route Re-Distribution RIP and OSPF can be enabled simultaneously on the switch. Route re-distribution allows the switch to exchange routes, including static routes, between the three routing protocols. Figure 48 is an example of route re-distribution between an OSPF autonomous system and a RIP autonomous system. Figure 48: Route re-distribution OSPF AS Backbone Area 0.0.0.0 ABR Area 121.2.3.
Route Re-Distribution Re-Distributing Routes into OSPF Enable or disable the exporting of RIP, static, and direct (interface) routes to OSPF using the following commands: enable ospf export [direct | rip | static] [cost [ase-type-1 | ase-type-2] {tag }] These commands enable or disable the exporting of RIP, static, and direct routes by way of LSA to other OSPF routers as AS-external type 1 or type 2 routes. The default setting is disabled.
Interior Gateway Protocols RIP Configuration Example A switch that has three VLANs is defined as follows: • Finance — Contain ports 5 and 6. — IP address 192.207.35.1. • Personnel — Contain ports 22 and 23. — IP address 192.207.36.1. In this configuration, all IP traffic from stations connected to ports 5 and 6 have access to the switch by way of the VLAN Finance. Ports 22 and 23 reach the switch by way of the VLAN Personnel.
OSPF Configuration Example configure ospf vlan timer You can configure the following parameters: • Retransmit interval—The length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. If you set an interval that is too short, unnecessary retransmissions will result. The default value is 5 seconds. NOTE The OSPF standard specifies that wait times are equal to the dead router wait interval.
Interior Gateway Protocols Area 0 is the backbone area. It is located at the headquarters and has the following characteristics: • Two internal routers (IR1 and IR2) • Two area border routers (ABR1 and ABR2) • Network number 10.0.x.x • Two identified VLANs (HQ_10_0_2 and HQ_10_0_3) Area 5 is connected to the backbone area by way of ABR1 and ABR2. It is located in Chicago and has the following characteristics: • Network number 160.26.x.
Displaying OSPF Settings configure vlan HQ_10_0_1 ipaddress 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0 configure vlan HQ_10_0_2 ipaddress 10.0.2.2 255.255.255.0 enable ipforwarding configure ospf add vlan all area 0.0.0.0 enable ospf Displaying OSPF Settings There are a number of commands you can use to display settings for OSPF. To show global OSPF information, use the show ospf command with no options.
Interior Gateway Protocols • Interface authentication—prevents unauthorized routers from forming adjacency. This is achieved by inserting authentication information in the Hello PDUs and validating them on the received Hello PDUs. You can configure authentication separately for level 1 and level 2. • Domain or area authentication—prevents intruders from injecting invalid routing information into this router.
Displaying OSPF Settings problems. For example, when a router has a memory shortage, it might be that the Link State database is not complete, resulting in an incomplete or inaccurate routing table. By setting the overload bit in its LSPs, other routers can ignore the unreliable router in their SPF calculations until the router has recovered from its problems.

IP Multicast Routing NOTE You should configure IP unicast routing before you configure IP multicast routing. PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) Overview Protocol independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routes multicast packets to multicast groups. The sparse mode protocol is designed for installations where the multicast groups are scattered over a large area such as a wide area network (WAN). PIM-SM is a router-to-router protocol, so all routers and switches must upgrade to the same PIM-SM version.
IGMP Overview configure pim crp static
IP Multicast Routing IGMP Snooping IGMP snooping is a layer 2 function of the switch. It does not require multicast routing to be enabled. In IGMP snooping, the layer 2 switch keeps track of IGMP requests, and only forwards multicast traffic to the part of the local network that requires it. IGMP snooping optimizes the usage of network bandwidth, and prevents multicast traffic from being flooded to parts of the local network that do not need it.
Multicast Tools should IP address type entries, and the IP address of each entry must be in the class-D multicast address space, but should not be in the multicast control subnet range (224.0.0.x/24).
IP Multicast Routing If a router does not support the mtrace functionality, it will silently drop the request packet and no information will be returned. For this situation, you could send the trace with a small number of maximum hops allowed, increasing the number of hops as the stream is traced. The group IP address must be in the class-D multicast address space, but should not be in the multicast control subnet range (224.0.0.x/24).

B Software Upgrade and Boot Options This appendix describes the following topics: • Downloading a New Image on page 317 • Saving Configuration Changes on page 319 • Using TFTP to Download the Configuration on page 321 • Upgrading and Accessing BootROM on page 322 Downloading a New Image The image file contains the executable code that runs on the switch. It comes preinstalled from the factory. As new versions of the image are released, you should upgrade the software running on your system.
Software Upgrade and Boot Options indicated, the next selected boot-up image space is used. This is the primary image space by default, but it can be changed with the following command: use image [primary | secondary] Understanding the Image Version String The image version string contains build information for each version of ExtremeWare. You can use either the show version or show switch command to display the ExtremeWare version running on your switch.
Saving Configuration Changes Table 45: Sample show output Release Type Show Version Command Show Switch Command Beta Version 7.0.1 (Build 3) beta1.triumph-r4 7.0.1b3 beta1.triumph-r4 Development Branch Version 7.0.0 (Build 67) branch.triumph-r5 7.0.0b67 branch.triumph-r5 Software Signatures Each ExtremeWare image contains a unique signature. The BootROM checks for signature compatibility and denies an incompatible software upgrade.
Software Upgrade and Boot Options NOTE If the switch is rebooted while in the middle of a configuration save, the switch boots to factory default settings. The configuration that is not in the process of being saved is unaffected. Returning to Factory Defaults To return the switch configuration to factory defaults, use the following command: unconfigure switch This command resets the entire configuration, with the exception of user accounts and passwords that have been configured, and the date and time.
Using TFTP to Download the Configuration Using TFTP to Download the Configuration You can download ASCII files that contain CLI commands to the switch to modify the switch configuration. Three types of configuration scenarios that can be downloaded: • Complete configuration • Incremental configuration • Scheduled incremental configuration If you load a configuration from a different model, you can safely write the correct configuration over the unsupported configuration.
Software Upgrade and Boot Options Scheduled Incremental Configuration Download You can schedule the switch to download a partial or incremental configuration on a regular basis. You could use this feature to update the configuration of the switch regularly from a centrally administered TFTP server. As part of the scheduled incremental download, you can optionally configure a backup TFTP server.
Upgrading and Accessing BootROM To access the BootROM menu, follow these steps: 1 Attach a serial cable to the console port of the switch. 2 Attach the other end of the serial cable to a properly configured terminal or terminal emulator, power cycle the switch while depressing the spacebar on the keyboard of the terminal. As soon as you see the BootROM-> prompt, release the spacebar. You can see a simple help menu by pressing h.
Software Upgrade and Boot Options 324 ExtremeWare 7.
C Troubleshooting If you encounter problems when using the switch, this appendix may be helpful. If you have a problem not listed here or in the release notes, contact your local technical support representative. LEDs Power LED does not light: Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the device and to the supply outlet. On powering-up, the MGMT LED lights yellow: The device has failed its Power On Self Test (POST) and you should contact your supplier for advice.
Troubleshooting Cable Diagnostics If you are having a problem establishing a link, you might have a faulty Ethernet cable. An Ethernet cable is composed of four pairs of unshielded twisted-pair (UTP). Of those four pairs, two are required to create the link. In addition to physically inspecting the cable, you can run a CLI command to test the cable.
Using the Command-Line Interface Using the Command-Line Interface The initial welcome prompt does not display: Check that your terminal or terminal emulator is correctly configured. For console port access, you may need to press [Return] several times before the welcome prompt appears. Check the settings on your terminal or terminal emulator. The settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON/OFF flow control enabled.
Troubleshooting Check that SNMP access was not disabled for the system. Permanent entries remain in the FDB: If you have made a permanent entry in the FDB (which requires you to specify the VLAN to which it belongs and then delete the VLAN), the FDB entry will remain. Though causing no harm, you must manually delete the entry from the FDB if you want to remove it.
Using the Command-Line Interface Always verify that the Extreme switch and the network device match in configuration for speed and duplex. No link light on Gigabit fiber port: Check to ensure that the transmit fiber goes to the receive fiber side of the other device, and vice-versa. All gigabit fiber cables are of the cross-over type. The Extreme switch has auto-negotiation set to on by default for gigabit ports.
Troubleshooting If you are connecting to a third-party device and have checked that the VLAN IDs are the same, the Ethertype field used to identify packets as 802.1Q packets may differ between the devices. The default value used by the switch is 8100. VLANs, IP Addresses and default routes: The system can have an IP address for each configured VLAN. It is necessary to have an IP address associated with a VLAN if you intend to manage (Telnet, SNMP, ping) through that VLAN or route IP traffic.
TOP Command To change the debug tracing facility for a certain system to a specified debug level, use the following command: configure debug-trace vlan Some of the debug trace systems commands can be applied to a particular VLAN, some apply to the switch as a whole, so the vlan option is not available with all systems.
Troubleshooting • download image • download configuration • configure iparp • configure vlan ipaddress • configure iproute add default • configure diagnostics • show iproute • show iparp • show vlan • show version • show log • ping • clear log • clear log diag-status Contacting Extreme Technical Support If you have a network issue that you are unable to resolve, contact Extreme Networks technical support.
