Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Weighted Queuing The Weighted Queuing feature allows the user to configure the priority scheme between the internal priority queues as “Strict Priority” or to configure it as a Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheme, with user-configurable weights.
Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Port Classification Overview With the P330, you can classify any port as regular or valuable. Setting a port to valuable means that, in case of Ethernet link failure of that port, a link fault trap can be sent even when the port is disabled and a fast aging operation on the CAM table will be performed.
Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Stack Redundancy In the unlikely event that a P330 switch or Octaplane link should fail, stack integrity is maintained if the redundant cable is connected to the stack. The broken link is bypassed and data transmission continues uninterrupted. The single management IP address for the stack is also preserved for uninterrupted management and monitoring.
Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Stack Health CLI Commands The following table contains a list of the CLI commands for the Stack Health feature. The rules of syntax and output examples are all set out in detail in the Reference Guide.
Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features Introduction This section describes the Avaya P330 Layer 3 features. It provides the basic procedures for configuring the P330 for Layer 3 operation. Layer 3 features are relevant to P334T-ML operating in router mode. You must purchase a Layer 3 preconfigured P334T-ML module or a Routing License Key Certificate for the P334T-ML in order to operate the P334T-ML in router mode.

Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features packet moves through the internetwork, its physical address changes but its protocol address remains constant. This process is illustrated in the figure below. Figure 12.1 Routing The relation between the destination host’s protocol address and its physical address is obtained by the routers using the ARP request/reply mechanism, and the information is stored within the ARP table in the router (see “The ARP Table“...
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features Routing Configuration Forwarding The P330 forwards IP packets between IP networks. When it receives an IP packet through one of its interfaces, it forwards the packet through one of its interfaces. The P330 supports multinetting, enabling it to forward packets between IP subnets on the same VLAN as well as between different VLANs.

Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features RIP (Routing Interchange Protocol) Configuration RIP Overview RIP is a “distance vector protocol”— that is, the router decides which path to use on distance (the number of intermediate hops). In order for this protocol to work correctly, all of the routers (and possibly the nodes) need to gather information on how to reach each destination in the Internet.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features RIP2 RIP2 overcomes some of the shortcomings of RIP. The table below summarizes the differences between RIP and RIP2. Table 12.1 DIfferences Between RIP and RIP2 RIP2 Multicast addressing Broadcast Addressing Event-driven Timer-based (update every 30...

Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features Route Redistribution Route redistribution is the interaction of multiple routing protocols. OSPF and RIP can be operated concurrently in the P330. In this case, the P330 can be configured to redistribute routes learned from one protocol into the domain of the other routing protocol.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Table Configuration ARP Overview IP logical network addresses are independent of physical addresses. Since the physical address must be used to convey data in the form of a frame from one device to another, a mechanism is required to acquire a destination device hardware address from its IP address.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features The ARP Table The ARP table is used to store recently used pairs of IP/MAC addresses. This saves time and communication costs, since the host looks in the ARP cache first when transmitting a packet. If the information is not there, then the host sends an ARP Request (see Figure 12.2).
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features BOOTP/DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Relay Configuration BOOTP/DHCP Overview BOOTP Short for Bootstrap Protocol, BootP is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features The DHCP/BOOTP server uses the relayed network information to decide from which subnet the address should be allocated. Therefore, the DHCP/BOOTP server must be configured to allocate addresses from the relayed networks configured on the P330.
(LANs). Almost all LANs for PCs are based on the NetBIOS. Some LAN manufacturers have even extended it, adding additional network capabilities. The Avaya P330 can be configured to relay netbios UDP broadcast packets. This feature is used for applications such as WINS that use broadcast but may need to communicate with stations on other subnets or VLANs.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) Configuration VRRP Overview VRRP is an IETF protocol designed to support redundancy of routers on the LAN, as well as load balancing of traffic. VRRP is transparent to host stations, making it an ideal choice when redundancy, load balancing and ease of configuration are all required.
Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features • The virtual router IP address needs to be configured as Default Gateway on the stations • The MAC which will be advertised by the Main router as a response to the stations ARP requests, will be a 6 bytes Virtual MAC address in the format 00.00.5E.00.01.VRID.
