EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Turbo Ring and STP/RSTP cannot both be used on the network at the same time. The following table lists the key differences between each feature. Use this information to evaluate the benefits of each, and then determine which features are most suitable for your network. Topology Recovery Time Turbo Ring Ring < 300 ms STP Ring, Mesh Up to 30 sec.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Initial Setup 1. Select any two ports as redundant ports. 2. Connect the redundant ports to form the Turbo Ring You do not need to set the Master to use Turbo Ring. Master is only needed to identify which segment acts as the backup path. The actual topology of the redundant ring, i.e., which segment will be blocked, is determined by the number of EDS-518A switches that make up the ring, and where the “Ring Master” is located.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions When the number of EDS-518A units in the Turbo Ring is odd. If there are 2N+1 EDS-518A units (an odd number) in the Turbo Ring, with EDS-518A units and segments labeled counterclockwise, then segment N+1 will serve as the backup path. Master For the example shown here, N=1, and therefore N+1=2.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Decide appropriate coupling ports in each switch and link them together. Next, assign one switch (e.g., Switch A) as coupler and set the proper coupling control port with another switch (e.g., Switch B) in the same Turbo Ring, and then connect them. The Coupler switch (e.g., Switch A) will monitor switch B through the coupling control port to decide if the coupling port’s backup path should be recovered or not.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Redundant Port Status This field indicates the current status of redundant ports. The state is “Forwarding” for normal transmission, “Blocked” for transmission that is stopped if this port is the backup path, and “Link down” for non-connection. Ring Coupling Indicates if the Ring Coupling function is “Enabled” or “Disabled.” Coupling Port Status This indicates the current status of coupling ports.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) implements the Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol defined by IEEE Std 802.1w-2001. RSTP provides the following benefits: y y The topology of a bridged network will be determined much more quickly compared to STP. RSTP is backward compatible with STP, making it relatively easy to deploy. For example: ¾ Defaults to sending 802.1D style BPDUs if packets with this format are received. ¾ STP (802.1D) and RSTP (802.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 What happens if a link failure is detected? As shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual y Featured Functions Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link. The efficiency cost is usually determined by the bandwidth of the link, with less efficient links assigned a higher cost. The following table shows the default port costs for a switch: Port Speed 10 Mbps 100 Mbps 1000 Mbps Path Cost 802.1D, 1998 Edition 100 19 4 Path Cost 802.1w-2001 2,000,000 200,000 20,000 STP Calculation The first step of the STP process is to perform calculations.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Example The LAN shown in the following figure has three segments, with adjacent segments connected using two possible links. The various STP factors, such as Cost, Root Port, Designated Bridge Port, and Blocked Port are shown in the figure.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The following figure shows an example of a network that contains VLANs 1 and 2. The VLANs are connected using the 802.1Q-tagged link between Switch B and Switch C. By default, this link has a port cost of 100 and is automatically blocked because the other Switch-to-Switch connections have a port cost of 36 (18+18).
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Now Active: This will show which communication protocol is being used—Turbo Ring, RSTP, or neither. Root/Not Root This field will appear only when selected to operate in RSTP mode. It indicates whether or not this EDS-518A is the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically). At the bottom of this page, the user can configure the “Settings” of this function.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Enable STP per Port Setting Enable/Disable NOTE Description Select to enable the port as a node on the Spanning Tree topology. Factory Default Disabled We suggest not enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol once the port is connected to a device (PLC, RTU, etc.) as opposed to network equipment. The reason is that it will cause unnecessary negotiation.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Traffic Prioritization EDS-518A’s traffic prioritization capability provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network by making data delivery more reliable. You can prioritize traffic on your network to ensure that high priority data is transmitted with minimum delay. Traffic can be controlled by a set of rules to obtain the required Quality of Service for your network.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual IEEE 802.1p Priority Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Featured Functions IEEE 802.1D Traffic Type Best Effort (default) Background Standard (spare) Excellent Effort (business critical) Controlled Load (streaming multimedia) Video (interactive media); less than 100 milliseconds of latency and jitter Voice (interactive voice); less than 10 milliseconds of latency and jitter Network Control Reserved traffic Even though the IEEE 802.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual 2. Featured Functions As the 802.1p priority levels are fixed to the traffic queues, the packet will be placed in the appropriate priority queue, ready for transmission through the appropriate egress port. When the packet reaches the head of its queue and is about to be transmitted, the device determines whether or not the egress port is tagged for that VLAN. If it is, then the new 802.1p tag is used in the extended 802.1D header.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Queuing Mechanism Setting Weighted Fair Strict Description EDS-518A has 4 priority queues. In the weighted fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities. This approach prevents the lower priority frames from being starved of opportunity for transmission with only a slight delay to the higher priority frames.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions CoS Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different CoS values to 4 different egress queues. Factory 0: Low 1: Low 2: Normal 3: Normal 4: Medium 5: Medium 6: High 7: High TOS/DiffServ Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different egress queues.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-518A increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage. The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions VLANs provide extra security: Devices within each VLAN can only communicate with other devices on the same VLAN. If a device on VLAN Marketing needs to communicate with devices on VLAN Finance, the traffic must pass through a routing device or Layer 3 switch. VLANs help control traffic: With traditional networks, congestion can be caused by broadcast traffic that is directed to all network devices, regardless of whether or not they need it.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions Access Port: The port connects to a single device that is not tagged. The user must define the default port PVID that determines to which VLAN the device belongs. Once the ingress packet of this Access Port egresses to another Trunk Port (the port needs all packets to carry tag information), EDS-518A will insert this PVID into this packet to help the next 802.1Q VLAN switch recognize it.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Port 6 connect a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 5; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 5. y Port 7 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 4; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 4. After proper configuration: y y y y y Packets from device A will travel through “Trunk Port 3” with tagged VID 5.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Management VLAN ID Setting VLAN ID ranges from 1 to 4094 Description Set the management VLAN of this EDS-518A. Factory Default 1 Port Type Setting Access Trunk Description This port type is used to connect single devices without tags. Select “Trunk” port type to connect another 802.1Q VLAN aware switch or another LAN that combines tagged and/or untagged devices and/or other switches/hubs.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions VLAN Mode Setting Description 802.1Q VLAN Set VLAN mode to 802.1Q VLAN Port-based VLAN Set VLAN mode to Port-based VLAN Factory Default 802.1Q VLAN Port Setting Enable/Disable Description Set port to specific VLAN Group. Factory Default Enable (all ports belong to VLAN1) VLAN Table In 802.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions The physical network can have a maximum of 64 VLAN settings. Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your EDS-518A. The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Network without multicast filtering Group 1 Multicast Stream Group 2 Multicast Stream Serial ports Console IGMP Group2 LAN 1 IGMP Group1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 IGMP Group2 IGMP Group1 All hosts receive the multicast traffic, even if they don’t need it.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Query Mode Query mode allows the EDS-518A to work as the Querier if it has the lowest IP address on the subnetwork to which it belongs. IGMP querying is enabled by default on the EDS-518A to help prevent interoperability issues with some multicast routers that may not follow the lowest IP address election method. Enable query mode to run multicast sessions on a network that does not contain IGMP routers (or queriers).
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Enabling Multicast Filtering Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying. If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the network. Configuring IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Static Multicast Router Port Setting Select/Deselect NOTE Description Select the option to select which ports will connect to the multicast routers. It’s active only when IGMP Snooping is enabled. Factory Default Disabled At least one switch must be designated the Querier or enable IGMP snooping and GMRP when enabling Turbo Ring and IGMP snooping simultaneously. IGMP Table EDS-518A displays the current active IGMP groups that were detected.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Join Port Setting Select/Deselect Description Factory Default Select the appropriate options to select the join ports for None this multicast group. Configuring GMRP GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. GMRP provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to register or un-register Group membership information dynamically.
EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Bandwidth Management In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the device malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device.
