 Chapter 20, "Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB)," discusses the IEEE 802.1Qbg—a
standards‐based protocol that defines how virtual Ethernet bridges exchange
configuration information. EVB bridges the gap between physical and virtual
network resources, thus simplifying network management.
 Chapter 21, "Static Multicast ARP," discusses the configuration of a static ARP
entry with multicast MAC address for Microsoft's Network Load Balancing
(NLB) feature to function efficiently.
Chapter 22, "Unified Fabric Port," describes how UFP logically subdivides a

high‐speed physical link connecting to a server NIC or to a Converged Network
Adapter (CNA). UFP provides a switch fabric component to control the NIC.
 Chapter 23, "Switch Partition," describes the creation of multiple partitions
within a switch to form a virtual switching context with respect to data plane
partition of a switch.
 Chapter 24, "Basic IP Routing," describes how to configure the CN4093 for IP
routing using IP subnets, BOOTP, and DHCP Relay.
 Chapter 25, "Internet Protocol Version 6," describes how to configure the
CN4093 for IPv6 host management.
 Chapter 26, "Using IPsec with IPv6," describes how to configure Internet
Protocol Security (IPsec) for securing IP communications by authenticating and
encrypting IP packets, with emphasis on Internet Key Exchange version 2, and
authentication/confidentiality for OSPFv3.
 Chapter 27, "Routing Information Protocol," describes how the Lenovo N/OS
software implements standard Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for
exchanging TCP/IP route information with other routers.
 Chapter 28, "Internet Group Management Protocol," describes how the Lenovo
N/OS software implements IGMP Snooping or IGMP Relay to conserve
bandwidth in a multicast‐switching environment.
Chapter 29, "Multicast Listener Discovery," describes how Multicast Listener

Discovery (MLD) is used with IPv6 to support host users requests for multicast
data for a multicast group.
 Chapter 30, "Border Gateway Protocol," describes Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) concepts and features supported in Lenovo N/OS.
Chapter 31, "OSPF," describes key Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) concepts

and their implemented in Lenovo N/OS, and provides examples of how to
configure your switch for OSPF support.
 Chapter 32, "Protocol Independent Multicast," describes how multicast routing
can be efficiently accomplished using the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
feature.
 Chapter 33, "Basic Redundancy," describes how the CN4093 supports
redundancy through trunking and Hotlinks.
 Chapter 34, "Layer 2 Failover," describes how the CN4093 supports
high‐availability network topologies using Layer 2 Failover.
