EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions 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 (802.1w) can operate on different ports of the same EDS. This feature is particularly helpful when EDS ports are connected to older equipment, such as legacy switches.
EDS-408A/405A 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 determines which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y Featured Functions Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link. The efficieny 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-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Example The LAN shown below 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-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions 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). This means that both VLANs are now subdivided—VLAN 1 on Switch units A and B cannot communicate with VLAN 1 on Switch C, and VLAN 2 on Switch units A and C cannot communicate with VLAN 2 on Switch B. Switch A VLAN1 100BaseTX full-duplex Link; only carries VLAN1 (path cost = 18) VLAN2 Switch B VLAN1 VLAN2 Block 802.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions 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). At the lower portion of this page, the user can configure the Settings of this function.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Max. Age (sec.) Setting Numerical value input by user Description If this device is not the root, and it has not received a hello message from the root in an amount of time equal to Max. Age, then this device will reconfigure itself as a root. Once two or more devices on the network are recognized as a root, the devices will renegotiate to set up a new Spanning Tree topology.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions [Eq. 4]: 2 * (Hello Time + 1 sec) ≦ Max. Age ≦ 2 * (Forwarding Delay – 1 sec) The EDS’s firmware will alert you immediately if any of these restrictions are violated. For example, setting Hello Time = 5 sec, Max. Age = 20 sec, and Forwarding Delay = 4 sec does not violate Eqs. 1 through 3, but does violate Eq. 4, since in this case, 2 * (Hello Time + 1 sec) = 12 sec, and 2 * (Forwarding Delay – 1 sec) = 6 sec.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions IEEE 802.1D—a layer 2 marking scheme. Differentiated Services (DiffServ)—a layer 3 marking scheme. IEEE 802.1D Traffic Marking The IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition marking scheme, which is an enhancement to IEEE Std 802.1D, enables Quality of Service on the LAN. Traffic service levels are defined in the IEEE 802.1Q 4-byte tag, which is used to carry VLAN identification as well as IEEE 802.1p priority information.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions traffic is classified based upon the IEEE 802.1D frame and is assigned to the appropriate priority queue based on the IEEE 802.1p service level value defined in that packet. Service level markings (values) are defined in the IEEE 802.1Q 4-byte tag, and consequently traffic will only contain 802.1p priority markings if the network is configured with VLANs and VLAN tagging. The traffic flow through the switch is as follows: 1. 2.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring Traffic Prioritization QoS Classification The EDS supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 QoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets.
