BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches • Virtual local area networks (VLANs), supporting: -- IEEE 802.
PAGE 34
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch • RADIUS network security: Allows you to set up your switch with RADIUS-based (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) security, for authenticating local console and TELNET logins. • IEEE 802.
PAGE 35
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) In a traditional shared-media network, traffic generated by a station is propagated to all other stations on the local segment. Therefore, for any given station on the shared Ethernet, the local segment is the collision domain because traffic on the segment has the potential to cause an Ethernet collision. The local segment is also the broadcast domain because any broadcast is sent to all stations on the local segment.
PAGE 36
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch RADIUS-Based Network Security The RADIUS-based security feature allows you to set up network access control, using the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) security protocol. The RADIUS-based security feature uses the RADIUS protocol to authenticate local console and TELNET logins.
PAGE 37
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Port Mirroring The port mirroring feature (sometimes referred to as conversation steering) allows you to designate a single switch port as a traffic monitor for up to two specified ports or two media access control (MAC) addresses. You can specify port-based monitoring, where all traffic on specified ports is monitored, or address-based monitoring, where traffic between specified MAC addresses is monitored.
PAGE 38
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch SNMP MIB Support The BayStack 350 switch supports an SNMP agent with industry standard MIBs, as well as private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The BayStack 350 switch supports the MIB-II (RFC 1213), the Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed management statistics. For a complete listing of supported MIBs, see “Features” on page 1-8.
PAGE 39
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches BootP Automatic IP Configuration The BayStack 350 switch has a unique 48-bit hardware address, or MAC address, that is printed on a label on the back panel. You use this MAC address when you configure the network BootP server to recognize the BayStack 350 switch BootP requests.
PAGE 40
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Configuration and Switch Management The BayStack 350 switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. You can manage the switch using the Nortel Networks Optivity® network management software, Nortel Networks Device Manager Software, or any generic SNMP-based network management software; however, you must assign an IP address to the switch.

BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Desktop Switch Application Figure 1-5 shows the BayStack 350-24T switch used as a desktop switch, where desktop workstations are connected directly to switch ports. This configuration provides dedicated 100 Mb/s connections to the network center, to the server, and up to 26 users. This configuration uses the optional 400-4TX MDA (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA).
PAGE 42
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Segment Switch Application Figure 1-6 shows the BayStack 350-24T switch used as a segment switch to alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. Before segmentation, 88 users had a total bandwidth of only 10 Mb/s available. After segmentation, 92 users have 40 Mb/s, four times the previous bandwidth, while adding 22 dedicated 100 Mb/s connections.
PAGE 43
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches High-Density Switched Workgroup Application Figure 1-7 shows a BayStack 350-24T switch with a high-speed (gigabit) connection to a Nortel Networks Accelar ™ 1100 switch. BayStack 303 and 304 switches are also shown in this example of a high-density switched workgroup. As shown in Figure 1-7, the Accelar 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch, connecting to the BayStack 350 switch with an optional gigabit (1000BASE-SX) MDA for maximum bandwidth.
PAGE 44
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups BayStack 350 switches support up to 64 VLANs with 802.1Q tagging available per port. Ports are grouped into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN. Frames received in one VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN, and IP Multicast frames and unknown unicast frames are flooded only to ports in the same VLAN.
PAGE 45
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches IEEE 802.1Q Tagging BayStack 350 switches operate in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q tagging rules. Important terms used with the 802.1Q tagging feature are: 309979-A Rev 00 • VLAN identifier (VID) -- the 12-bit portion of the VLAN tag in the frame header that identifies an explicit VLAN. • Port VLAN identifier (PVID) -- a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific VLAN (see Figures 1-10 to 1-15).
PAGE 46
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch • Filtering database identifier (FID) -- the specific filtering/forwarding database within the BayStack 350 switch that is assigned to each VLAN. The current version of software assigns all VLANs to the same FID. This is referred to as Shared VLAN Learning in the IEEE 802.1Q specification. The default configuration settings for BayStack 350 switches have all ports set as untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as PVID = 1.
PAGE 47
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches In Figure 1-10, untagged incoming packets are assigned directly to VLAN 2 (PVID = 2). Port 5 is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2, and port 7 is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2.

PAGE 50
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch VLANs Spanning Multiple Switches You can use VLANs to segment a network within a switch. When connecting multiple switches, it is possible to connect users of one VLAN with users of that same VLAN in another switch. However, the configuration guidelines depend on whether both switches support 802.1Q tagging. With 802.1Q tagging enabled on a port for a VLAN, all frames leaving the port for that VLAN are marked as belonging to that specific VLAN.
PAGE 51
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Because there is only one link between the two switches, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) treats this configuration as any other switch-to-switch connection. For this configuration to work properly, both switches must support the 802.1Q tagging protocol. VLANs Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches Figure 1-17 shows VLANs spanning multiple untagged switches. In this configuration switch S2 does not support 802.
PAGE 52
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch To connect multiple VLANs across switches with redundant links, the STP must be disabled on all participating switch ports. Figure 1-18 shows possible consequences of enabling the STP when using VLANs between untagged (non-802.1Q tagged) switches. Station A Non-802.1Q tagged switch S1 VLAN 1 No Communications Forwarding VLAN 2 Blocking Non-802.1Q tagged switch S2 VLAN 1 VLAN 2 Station B BS35017A Figure 1-18.
PAGE 53
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Shared Servers BayStack 350 switches allow ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in Figure 1-19. In this example, clients on different broadcast domains share resources. The broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN 3 can be seen by all VLAN port members of VLAN 3.

PAGE 60
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch VLAN Configuration Rules VLANs operate according to specific configuration rules. When creating VLANs, consider the following rules that determine how the configured VLAN reacts in any network topology: • All ports that are involved in port mirroring must have memberships in the same VLANs. If a port is configured for port mirroring, the port’s VLAN membership cannot be changed.
PAGE 61
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches IGMP Snooping BayStack 350 switches can sense IGMP host membership reports from attached stations and use this information to set up a dedicated path between the requesting station and a local IP Multicast router. After the pathway is established, the BayStack 350 switch blocks the IP Multicast stream from exiting any other port that does not connect to another host member, thus conserving bandwidth.
PAGE 62
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch As shown in Figure 1-26, a non-IP Multicast filtering switch causes IP Multicast traffic to be sent to all segments on the local subnet. IGMP Host Host membership query Host membership query Internet Designated router #1 Designated router #2 Non-IP Multicast filtering switch Multicast stream Host membership report Non-IP Multicast filtering switch Host membership report BS35021B Figure 1-26.
PAGE 63
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches One client, connected to S2, responds with a host membership report. Switch S2 intercepts the report from that port, and generates a proxy report to its upstream neighbor, S1. Also, two clients connected to S4 respond with host membership reports, causing S4 to intercept the reports and to generate a consolidated proxy report to its upstream neighbor, S1.
PAGE 64
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch After the switches learn which ports are requesting access to the IP Multicast stream, all other ports not responding to the queries are blocked from receiving the IP Multicast (see Figure 1-28).

PAGE 65
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches IGMP Snooping Configuration Rules The IGMP snooping feature operates according to specific configuration rules. When configuring your switch for IGMP snooping, consider the following rules that determine how the configuration reacts in any network topology: • A port that is configured for port mirroring cannot be configured as a static router port.
PAGE 66
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing You can use the VLAN Configuration screens to prioritize the order in which the switch forwards packets, on a per-port basis. For example, if messages from a specific segment are crucial to your operation, you can set the switch port connected to that segment to a higher priority level (by default, all switch ports are set to Low priority).
PAGE 67
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Port 5 Traffic class User priority (6) 7 6 5 4 High 3 2 1 0 Low High priority packet Port transmit queue BS35025A Figure 1-30. Port Transmit Queue As shown in Figure 1-30, the switch provides two transmission queues, High and Low, for any given port. Frames are assigned to one of these queues on the basis of user_priority using a traffic class table. This table is managed by using the Traffic Class Configuration screen (Figure 1-31).
PAGE 68
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch To configure the port priority level, follow these steps: 1. Determine the priority level you want to assign to the switch port. User priority levels are assigned default settings in all BayStack 350 switches. The range is from 0 to 7. The traffic class table can be modified. Therefore, view the settings shown in the Traffic Class Configuration screen before setting the port priority in the VLAN Port Configuration screen. 2.
PAGE 69
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches 5. Select a priority level from the range shown in the Traffic Class Configuration screen (or modify the Traffic Class parameters to suit your needs). 6. Assign the priority level to ports using the VLAN Port Configuration screen: a. Press [Ctrl]-R to return to the VLAN Configuration Menu. b. From the VLAN Configuration Menu, select VLAN Port Configuration (or press c). The VLAN Port Configuration screen opens (Figure 1-32).
PAGE 70
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch MultiLink Trunks MultiLink Trunks allow you to group up to four switch ports together to form a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the interconnection between the devices (up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode). You can configure up to six MultiLink Trunks.
PAGE 71
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Each of the trunks shown in Figure 1-33 can be configured with up to four switch ports to provide up to 800 Mb/s aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplex mode. As shown in this example, when traffic between switch-to-switch connections approaches single port bandwidth limitations, creating a MultiLink Trunk can supply the additional bandwidth required to improve the performance.

Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Clients accessing data from the servers (FS1 and FS2) are provided with maximized bandwidth through trunks T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. Trunk members (the ports making up each trunk) do not have to be consecutive switch ports; you can select ports randomly, as shown by T5. With spanning tree enabled, one of the trunks (T2 or T3) acts as a redundant (backup) trunk to switch S2.

PAGE 82
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Before Configuring Trunks When you create and enable a trunk, the trunk members (switch ports) take on certain settings necessary for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. Before configuring your MultiLink Trunk, you must consider these settings, along with specific configuration rules, as follows: Before configuring any MultiLink Trunk: 1. Read the configuration rules provided in the next section, “MultiLink Trunking Configuration Rules.
PAGE 83
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches 309979-A Rev 00 • All trunk members must be configured into the same VLAN before the Trunk Configuration screen’s Trunk Status field can be set to Enabled (See “VLAN Configuration Menu” on page 3-20). • When an active port is configured in a trunk, the port becomes a trunk member when you set the Trunk Status field to Enabled. The spanning tree parameters for the port then change to reflect the new trunk settings.
PAGE 84
Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Spanning Tree Considerations for MultiLink Trunks The spanning tree Path Cost parameter is recalculated based on the aggregate bandwidth of the trunk. For example, Figure 1-41 shows a four-port trunk (T1) with two port members operating at 100 Mb/s and two at 10 Mb/s. Trunk T1 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 220 Mb/s. The Path Cost for T1 is 4 (Path Cost = 1000/LAN speed, in Mb/s).
PAGE 85
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches The switch can also detect trunk member ports that are physically misconfigured. For example, in Figure 1-42, trunk member ports 2, 4, and 6 of switch S1 are configured correctly to trunk member ports 7, 9, and 11 of switch S2. The Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen for each switch shows the port state field for each port in the Forwarding state.

BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches Additional Tips About the MultiLink Trunking Feature When you create a MultiLink Trunk, the individual trunk members (the specific ports that make up the trunk) logically connect and react as a single entity. For example, if you change spanning tree parameters for any trunk member, the spanning tree parameters for all trunk members change. All configured trunks are indicated in the Spanning Tree Configuration screen.

Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Port Connection Problems Port connection problems can usually be traced to a poor cable connection or an improper connection of the port cables at either end of the link. These types of problems can be remedied by making sure that the cable connections are secure and that the cables are connected to the correct ports at both ends of the link. Port connection problems can also be traced to the autonegotiation mode or the port interface.
PAGE 217
Troubleshooting If the problem persists, follow these additional steps: 1. Disable the autonegotiation feature at the connected station. 2. Manually set the speed/duplex mode of the connected station to the same speed/duplex mode you have manually set for the BayStack 350 switch port.
