EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Communication Redundancy Setting up Communication Redundancy on your network helps protect critical links against failure, protects against network loops, and keeps network downtime at a minimum. The Communication Redundancy function allows the user to set up redundant loops in the network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently disconnected or damaged.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions Port trunking and Turbo Ring can be enabled simultaneously to form a backbone. Doing so will increase the bandwidth of the backbone, and also provide redundancy. For example, suppose that two physical ports, 1 and 2, are trunked to form trunk group Trk1, and then Trk1 is set as one Turbo Ring path, if port 1 gets disconnected, the remaining trunked port, port 2, will share the traffic.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions “Turbo Ring” rings with an even number of EDS units If there are 2N EDS units (an even number) in the “Turbo Ring” ring, then the backup segment is one of the two segments connected to the (N+1) st EDS (i.e., the EDS unit directly opposite the master).
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Ring Coupling Configuration For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to create one BIG redundant ring, since some devices could be located in a remote area. For these systems, “Ring Coupling” can be used to separate the devices into different smaller redundant rings, but in such a way that they can still communicate with each other.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Note that the ring coupling settings for a “Turbo Ring V2” ring are different from a “Turbo Ring” ring. For Turbo Ring V2, Ring Coupling is enabled by configuring the “Coupling Port (Primary)” on Switch B, and the “Coupling Port (Backup)” on Switch A only. You do not need to set up a coupling control port, so that a “Turbo Ring V2” ring does not use a coupling control line.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Dual-Homing Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”) The “dual-homing” option uses a single Ethernet switch to connect two networks. The primary path is the operating connection, and the backup path is a back-up connection that is activated in the event that the primary path connection fails.

The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocked if this port is connected to the Tail port as a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions EDS-408A: port 8 The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures in a network, and provide protection from loops. Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network. Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s STP feature is disabled by default. To be completely effective, you must enable RSTP/STP on every EDS connected to your network.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of them from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determines that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through Bridges C and A as this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions Each bridge must have a Bridge Identifier that specifies which bridge acts as the central reference point, or Root Bridge, for the STP system—bridges with a lower Bridge Identifier are more likely to be designated as the Root Bridge. The Bridge Identifier is calculated using the MAC address of the bridge and a priority defined for the bridge. The default priority of EDS is 32768. Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Differences between RSTP and STP RSTP is similar to STP, but includes additional information in the BPDUs that allow each bridge to confirm that it has taken action to prevent loops from forming when it decides to enable a link to a neighboring bridge. Adjacent bridges connected via point-to-point links will be able to enable a link without waiting to ensure that all other bridges in the network have had time to react to the change.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions ¾ The route through Bridges Y and B costs 300 (Y to B=200, B to A=100) y The Designated Bridge Port for LAN Segment 3 is Port 2 on Bridge C. Using STP on a Network with Multiple VLANs IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition, does not take into account VLANs when calculating STP information—the calculations depend only on the physical connections.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions At the top of this page, the user can check the Current Status of this function. For RSTP, you will see: Now Active: This shows the communication protocol being used—Turbo Ring, RSTP, or none. Root/Not Root This is displayed only when RSTP is selected as the mode of operation. It indicates whether or not this EDS is the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically).
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Forwarding Delay Setting Numerical value input by user Description The amount of time this device waits before checking to see if it should change to a different state. Factory Default 15 (sec.) Hello time (sec.) Setting Numerical value input by user Description The root of the Spanning Tree topology periodically sends out a “hello” message to other devices on the network to check if the topology is healthy.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Port Status This indicates the current Spanning Tree status of this port. The status values are Forwarding for normal transmission, and Blocking to block transmission. Configuration Limits of RSTP/STP The Spanning Tree Algorithm places limits on three of the configuration items previously described: [Eq. 1]: 1 sec ≦ Hello Time ≦ 10 sec [Eq. 2]: 6 sec ≦ Max. Age ≦ 40 sec [Eq.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual y y y Featured Functions Assign priorities to different categories of traffic. For example, set higher priorities for time-critical or business-critical applications. Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications, such as video conferencing or voice over IP, and minimize traffic delay and jitter. Improve network performance as the amount of traffic grows. This will save cost by reducing the need to keep adding bandwidth to the network.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual y Featured Functions The tag is part of the IEEE 802.1Q header, so to implement QoS at layer 2, the entire network must implement IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. It is only supported on a LAN and not across routed WAN links, since the IEEE 802.1Q tags are removed when the packets pass through a router.
EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual y Featured Functions low-priority, but in the event that high-priority traffic exceeds the link capacity, lower priority traffic is not blocked. Strict: This method services high traffic queues first; low priority queues are delayed until no more high priority data needs to be sent. This method always gives precedence to high priority over low-priority.
