In a switch-based network, such as one comprised of Alcatel switching systems, a broadcast domain—or VLAN— can span multiple physical switches and can include ports from a variety of media types. For example, a single VLAN could span three different switches located in different buildings and include 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.1q tagged ports and/or a link aggregate of ports.

To verify that ports 3/2-4 were assigned to VLAN 255, use the show vlan port command. For example: -> show vlan 255 port port type status --------+---------+-------------- default inactive default inactive default inactive OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 4-3...
This eliminates the need to physically change a network device connection or location when adding or removing devices from the VLAN broadcast domain. The VLAN management software handles the following VLAN configuration tasks performed on an Alcatel switch: Creating or modifying VLANs.
Creating/Modifying VLANs Creating/Modifying VLANs The initial configuration for all Alcatel switches consists of a default VLAN 1 and all switch ports are initially assigned to this VLAN. When a switching module is added to the switch, the module’s physical ports are also assigned to VLAN 1. If additional VLANs are not configured on the switch, then the entire switch is treated as one large broadcast domain.
-> vlan 455 name Marketing-IP-Network Defining VLAN Port Assignments Alcatel switches support static and dynamic assignment of physical switch ports to a VLAN. Regardless of how a port is assigned to a VLAN, once the assignment occurs, a VLAN port association (VPA) is created and tracked by VLAN management software on each switch.

To view a list of VLAN IP router ports configured on the switch, use the show vlan router ip command. For more information about this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 4-11...
-> vlan 1504 mtu-ip 576 To view the current MTU size for IP router VLANs, use the show vlan router ip command. For more information about this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. page 4-12 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
What is Single MAC Router Mode? The OmniSwitch 6624/6648 operates only in single MAC router mode. In this mode, each router port VLAN is assigned the same MAC address, which is the base chassis MAC address for the switch. As a result, up to 4094 IP router port VLANs are supported per single switch or per stack of switches.
The key is that the port must belong to the same VLAN on each switch. To carry multiple VLANs between switches across a single physical connection cable, use the 802.1Q tagging feature (see Chapter 9, “Configuring 802.1Q”). page 4-14 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
For more information about the resulting displays from these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Refer- ence Guide.

Spanning Tree Overview Spanning Tree Overview Alcatel switches support the use of the traditional STP defined in the IEEE 802.1D standard and the Rapid Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol (RSTP) defined in the IEEE 802.1w standard. RSTP expedites topology changes by allowing blocked ports to transition directly into a forwarding state, bypassing listen- ing and learning states.

(except for the root bridge). Data travels back and forth between bridges over forwarding port connections that form the best, non-redundant path to the root. The active topology ensures that network loops do not exist. page 5-4 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
Each switch chassis is assigned a dedicated base MAC address. This is the MAC address that is combined with the priority value to provide a unique Bridge ID for the switch. For more information about the base MAC address, the OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Hardware Users Guide.
If a new switch is added to the network, the Spanning Tree topology is automatically recalculated to include the monitor- ing of links to the new switch. page 5-6 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...

The following diagram shows a switch running in the flat STP mode. All ports, regardless of their default VLAN configuration or tagged VLAN assignments, are considered part of one Spanning Tree instance. page 5-8 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
However, if a VLAN appears as the configured default VLAN for the port, then BPDU are not tagged and the single Spanning Tree instance applies.

802.1Q Overview 802.1Q Overview Alcatel’s 802.1Q is an IEEE standard for sending frames through the network tagged with VLAN identifi- cation. This chapter details procedures for configuring and monitoring 802.1Q tagging on a single port in a switch or a link aggregation group in a switch.
Page 166
The procedures below use CLI commands that are thoroughly described in “802.1Q Commands” of the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. Note. 802.1Q on the OmniSwitch 6624 and 6648 do not have the “force tag internal” feature, available on other OmniSwitch products.
The VLAN used to handle traffic on the tagged port must be created prior to using the vlan 802.1q command. Creating a VLAN is described in Chapter 4, “Configuring VLANs.” For more specific information, see the vlan 802.1q command section in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 9-5...

42 Alcatel-Acce-Priv-F-W2 hex. Configures functional write privileges for the user. The Alcatel-Auth-Group attribute is used for Ethernet II only. If a different protocol, or more than one protocol is required, use the Alcatel-Auth-Group-Protocol attribute instead. For example: Alcatel-Auth-Group-Protocol 23: IP_E2 IP_SNAP Alcatel-Auth-Group-Protocol 24: IPX_E2 In this example, authenticated users on VLAN 23 may use Ethernet II or SNAP encapsulation.
Managing Authentication Servers Configuring Functional Privileges on the Server Configuring the functional privileges attributes (Alcatel-Acce-Priv-F-x) can be cumbersome because it requires using read and write bitmasks for command families on the switch. To display the functional bitmasks of the desired command families, use the show aaa priv hexa command.

Layer 2 Authentication is different from another feature in the switch called Authenticated Switch Access, which is used to grant individual users access to manage the switch. For more information about Authenti- cated Switch Access, see the “Switch Security” chapter in the OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Switch Manage- ment Guide.
Authentication clients—Authentication clients login through the switch to get access to authenticated VLANs. There are three types of clients: AV-Client. This is an Alcatel-proprietary authentication client. The AV-Client does not require an IP • address prior to authentication. The client software must be installed on the user’s end station. This chapter describes how to install and configure the client.

Sends Layer 2, Layer 3, or multicast information to the classifier to see how the switch will handle the packet. Use the applied keyword to examine only applied conditions. For more information about these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. page 21-48 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
First, create a condition for the traffic. In this example, the condition is called ip_traffic2. A policy action (flowShape) is then created to enforce a maximum bandwidth requirement for the flow. page 21-50 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
For Layer 2 flows, you cannot have more than one action that maps DSCP. • In this example, a policy rule (marking) is set up to mark flows from 10.10.3.0 with an 802.1p value of 5: OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 21-51...
22-10. Creating Policy Rules for ACLs. Policy rules for ACLs are basically QoS policy rules. Specific • parameters for ACLs are described in this chapter. See “Configuring ACLs” on page 22-10. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-1...
Note that in the current software release, the deny and drop options produce the same effect; that is, that traffic is silently dropped. For more information about QoS defaults in general, see Chapter 21, “Configuring QoS.” page 22-2 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
-> vlan 2 router ip 192.68.82.1 Apply the policy configuration using the qos apply command. For details about using this command, “Applying the Configuration” on page 21-46 Chapter 21, “Configuring QoS.” OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-3...
Note. QoS policy rules may also be used for traffic prioritization and other network scenarios. For a general discussion of QoS policy rules, see Chapter 21, “Configuring QoS.” page 22-4 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
-> policy rule r1 precedence 100 condition c1 action a1 -> policy rule r2 precedence 100 condition c1 action a2 When traffic comes into the switch that matches c1, the switch will use rule r1. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-5...
In this example, when a flow comes into the switch and matches source IP address 10.10.2.3, the switch will apply both policies (Rule1 and Rule2) to the flow. On the OmniSwitch 6624/6648, a source IP address may be combined with priority and maximum bandwidth actions at the same time, so both rules are used.
IP address cannot be included in a condition with a source IP network group. For more information about supported combinations, see “Condition Combinations” on page 21-6 “Condition/Action Combinations” on page 21-7 Chapter 21, “Configuring QoS.” OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-7...
Policies may then be set up to allow routed traffic through the switch. Note that in the current release of Alcatel’s QoS software, the drop and deny keywords produce the same result (flows are silently dropped; no ICMP message is sent).
Page 447
If you set the bridged disposition to deny or drop, and you configure Layer 2 ACLs, you will need two rules for each type of filter. For more information, see “Layer 2 ACLs” on page 22-12. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-9...
IP port, or destination IP port. Or, the condition may simply refer to the network group, MAC group, port group, or service group. Typically ACLs use group keywords in policy conditions. A single rule, therefore, filters traffic for multiple addresses or ports. page 22-10 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
In this example, any traffic matching condition c3 will match rule7; rule7 is configured with the highest precedence value. If any other Layer 3 rules are configured for traffic with a source address of 10.10.4.8, OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
If the default bridged disposition is set to drop or deny, any rules for allowing Layer 2 traffic through the switch must be configured in two instances, once for source and once for destination. page 22-12 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
Filter2 is created with cond5. Now when Layer 2 flows with a MAC address starting with 0020da arrive on the switch destined for any Ethernet interface, the flows will be allowed on the switch. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
Traffic with a source IP address of 192.68.82.0, a source IP port of 23, using protocol 6, will match condi- tion addr2, which is part of FilterL31. The action for the filter (Block) is set to deny traffic. The flow will be dropped on the switch. page 22-14 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
If a destination group is specified, the corresponding single value keyword cannot be combined in the same condition. For example, if a destination port is specified, a destination port group cannot be speci- fied in the same condition. OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004 page 22-15...
The following example shows all policy rules configured on the switch: -> show policy rule Policy From Prec Enab Inact Refl Log Save my_rule Cnd/Act: cond5 -> action2 +my_rule5 Cnd/Act: cond2 -> pri2 mac1 Cnd/Act: dmac1 -> pri2 page 22-16 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...

This mechanism is often referred to as IGMP snooping (or IGMP gleaning). Alcatel’s implementation of IGMP snooping is called IP Multicast Switching (IPMS). IPMS allows OmniSwitch 6600 Series switches to efficiently deliver multicast traffic in hardware at wire speed.
The network interfaces verify that a multicast packet is received by the switch on the source (or expected) port. Note. Jumbo multicast packets are not supported. The maximum MTU size supported by Alcatel’s IPMS software is 1500. IPMS Example The figure on the following page shows an IPMS network where video content can be provided to clients that request it.
In IGMPv2, each membership report contains only one multicast group. In IGMPv3, membership reports contain many multicast groups up to the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of the interface. IGMPv3 uses source filtering and reports multicast memberships to neighboring routers by sending membership reports. page 23-4 OmniSwitch 6624/6648 Network Configuration Guide April 2004...
