Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual of the VLAN, the frame is forwarded to the destination port. If the incoming frame is not tagged with VLAN information, the ingress port will use PVID as the VLAN ID. If the destination port is not in the same VLAN, the frame is dropped. The switch is initially configured to have one VLAN and its VID is 1. This VLAN is called the default VLAN. By default, all ports are initially assigned to the default VLAN. Frames can not be forwarded across VLANs.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware 6-4 Configuring a Static VLAN The switch currently supports static VLANs only. To configure the VLAN, click on the VLAN folder at the left-hand side bar. The IEEE802.1Q VLAN screen should appear as shown in Figure 6-8. It lists the entire current VLAN configuration and also allows a user to create a new VLAN or modify port membership of a VLAN. The MEMBER PORTS indicates the number of member ports of the VLAN.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 3. Click on the CREATE button to create the new VLAN. A new VLAN is shown in Figure 6-10. Figure 6-10. New VLAN Screen 4. If you want to remove this VLAN, click on the REMOVE THIS VLAN button. Click on DISPLAY ALL VLAN to list all of current VLAN configuration. 5. To change the port member state or remove a VLAN, select the VLAN either from the VLAN ID drop down menu or by clicking on the VLAN ID in the table in Figure 6-8.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware transmitted must not be out of order. The switch performs load balancing based on a distribution algorithm that used the following information to assign conversation to ports: • MAC source address • MAC destination address • MAC source address + destination address The user can choose one of the distribution criteria from the configuration screen as shown in Figure 6-11. Configuring the Trunk 1.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 6-6 Mirroring The switch supports port mirroring. A copy of the egress (transmit) data and the ingress (receive) data of the mirrored (monitored) port is sent to the mirroring (snooping) port. A user can attach a monitoring device to the mirroring port, such as a sniffer or an RMON probe to view the traffic at the mirrored port. This is useful for network monitoring and troubleshooting. The switch allows for only one mirrored port at any given time.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware 6-7 Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) helps a network user to reserve a guaranteed bandwidth for some critical application functions that require a high bandwidth and high priority. Applications such as video, audio streaming, VoIP and video conferencing must have a certain amount of bandwidth to maintain their operation correctly.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual Figure 6-13. QoS Setting Screen Table 6-5. QoS Setting Screen Controls Control Description Scheduling Method This specifies one of the two scheduling methods (Strict and Weighted Round-Robin) for the queues. Queue [0:3] Queue [0:3] prioritizes the four queues. Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue and queue 3 is the highest priority queue. Packets in queue 3 are served more often than packets in queue 0. Priority This indicates packet priority.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware 6-8 Rate Control The switch supports per-port rate control. When the data rate of the incoming frame for a particular port exceeds a selected rate, the excess frame traffic is subject to packet drops or flow control, depending on the per-port flow control configuration in the PORT folder. If the flow control of a particular port is enabled, then the switch uses flow control to inhibit any excess traffic.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual To configure storm control, click STORM CONTROL link in the RATE LIMIT AND STORM CONTROL screen (Figure 6-14). The STORM CONTROL screen appears as shown in Figure 6-15. Figure 6-15. Storm Control Screen Table 6-6.

If the MAC address is in L2 ADDRESS table, whether it is a static or a dynamic MAC address, the result will be displayed.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 6-10 Spanning Tree The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) helps to detect and prevents loops from occurring on a switched or bridged network. When multiple paths exist on a network, STP will configure the network to use the most efficient path between network devices. All other paths are forced into a blocked standby state.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware root switch will set a Topology Change flag in its normal BPDUs. This flag is propagated to all other switches to instruct them to rapidly age out their forwarding table entries. Port Transition State When a device is connected to an RTSP or STP enabled switch port for the first time, it will not immediately start to forward data. Instead, it will go through a number of states while it processes BPDUs and determines the network topology.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual Figure 6-18. Rapid Spanning Tree Screen The RSTP SWITCH SETTINGS allows the user to control RSTP parameters from the bridge point-of-view. ROOT STATUS shows status of the root bridge. BRIDGE SETTING shows the current bridge setup. To turn on the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), check on the ENABLE RSTP dialog box and click on the APPLY GLOBAL SETTINGS button.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Root Status The settings for ROOT STATUS are shown below: • Designated Root Bridge – The bridge identifier of the root of the spanning tree is determined by the RSTP protocol as executed by this node. The bridge identifier value is used as the Root Identifier parameter in all configuration Bridge PDUs originated by this node. • Max Age – This indicates the maximum age of the root bridge.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual RSTP Port Settings These settings control and monitor the port-based spanning tree status. • Participate – This specifies if the RSTP is enabled or not for the selected port. • Cost – Displays the cost of this port. “Cost” means the contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port. • Priority – Displays the priority of this port.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware 6-11 IEEE 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is a client-server based access control and authentication protocol that restricts unauthorized user devices from connecting to the LAN through publicly accessible ports. This port-based access control is accomplished by using a RADIUS server that is connected to a gigabit switch management port to authenticate client users trying to access a network through the switch.

If a subnet is expected to be lossy, the Robustness Variable may be increased. IGMP is robust to (Robustness Variable-1) packet losses. The Robustness Variable must not be 0, and should not be 1. The default value is 2. Query Interval This is the interval between general queries sent by the querier.
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 6-14 UpLink Failure Tracking (ULFT) Uplink Failure Tracking (ULFT) feature is provided to support network adapter Teaming (Windows Systems) or Channel Bonding (Linux Systems) on SuperBlade servers. Installing two GbE switch modules can have additional connectivity to allow increased network bandwidth, redundancy, and/or fault tolerance. The connection between internal ports of the switch and each LAN port of the server blades is hardwired through the middle plane.
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Note that ULTF will only drop an internal link from the blade to the switch if all of the (external) uplinks defined for that blade have failed (or been disabled) on that switch. As long as one or more of uplinks on a particular switch (that have been defined for a particular downlink) is active, the blade and switch will keep the internal link active. Figure 6-22.
