In releases prior to 07.6.04, the T-Flow module distributes the load to the TSPs on a per-module basis. When the HP device is powered on or reset, the T-Flow assigns each of the forwarding modules to a TSP. In release 07.6.04, the T-Flow can distribute the load to the TSPs on a per-DMA basis. DMAs are packet processors that control ports on Ethernet modules.
Page 95

Syntax: [no] vm vm-map per-port-dma If the vm vm-map per-port-dma command is in the HP device’s configuration when the device is started or reset, the T-Flow uses per-DMA TSP load sharing. Otherwise, the T-Flow uses per-module TSP load sharing to balance forwarding among the TSPs.

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide Changing the Management Session from the MP to a TSP By default, management sessions you open with the T-Flow are established with the MP. However, you can establish a session directly with a TSP. Each TSP supports some commands at the Privileged EXEC level. NOTE: You can enter configuration commands only to the MP, not directly to a TSP.

By default, each port-based VLAN on an HP device runs a separate spanning tree (a separate instance of STP). An HP device has one port-based VLAN (VLAN 1) by default that contains all the device’s ports. Thus, by default each HP device has one spanning tree. However, if you configure additional port-based VLANs on an HP device, then each of those VLANs on which STP is enabled and VLAN 1 all run separate spanning trees.
Page 208: Stp Parameters And Defaults

A higher numerical value means a lower priority; thus, the highest priority is 0. NOTE: If you plan to change STP bridge timers, HP recommends that you stay within the following ranges, from section 8.10.2 of the IEEE STP specification.

Fast Port Span reduces the number of STP topology change notifications on the network. When an end station attached to a Fast Span port comes up or down, the HP device does not generate a topology change notification for the port. In this situation, the notification is unnecessary since a change in the state of the host does not affect the network’s topology.

You cannot configure the Fast Uplink Span feature using the Web management interface. 802.1W Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) HP’s earlier implementation of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which was 802.1W Draft 3, provided only a subset of the IEEE 802.1W standard; whereas the 802.1W RSTP feature provides the full standard. The implementation of the 802.1W Draft 3 is referred to as RSTP Draft 3.
Page 229

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features NOTE: This rapid convergence will not occur on ports connected to shared media devices, such as hubs. To take advantage of the rapid convergence provided by 802.1W, make sure to explicitly configure all point-to-point links in a topology.
Page 230

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide Assignment of Port Roles At system start-up, all 802.1W-enabled bridge ports assume a Designated role. Once start-up is complete, 802.1W algorithm calculates the superiority or inferiority of the RST BPDU that is received and transmitted on a port.
Page 231

E d g e P o r t s an d E d g e P o r t Ro l e s HP’s implementation of 802.1W allows ports that are configured as Edge ports to be present in an 802.1W topology.

Page 233

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features Bridge Port States Ports roles can have one of the following states: • Forwarding – 802.1W is allowing the port to send and receive all packets. • Discarding – 802.1W has blocked data traffic on this port to prevent a loop. The device or VLAN can reach the root bridge using another port, whose state is forwarding.

Page 236

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide • Sync – Once the Root port is elected, it sets a sync signal on all the ports on the bridge. The signal tells the ports to synchronize their roles and states (Figure 8.5). Ports that are non-edge ports with a role of Designated port change into a discarding state.
Page 237

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features • Synced – Once the Designated port changes into a discarding state, it asserts a synced signal. Immediately, Alternate ports and Backup ports are synced. The Root port monitors the synced signals from all the bridge ports.
Page 238

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide • Agreed – The Root port sends back an RST BPDU containing an agreed flag to its peer Designated port and moves into the forwarding state. When the peer Designated port receives the RST BPDU, it rapidly transitions into a forwarding state.
Page 239

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features Handshake When a Root Port Has Been Elected If a non-root bridge already has a Root port, 802.1W uses a different type of handshake. For example, in Figure 8.8, a new root bridge is added to the topology. Fig u r e 8 .
Page 240

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide The handshake that occurs between Routing Switch 60 and Routing Switch 100 follows the one described in the previous section (“Handshake When No Root Port is Elected” on page 8-28). The former root bridge becomes a non-root bridge and establishes a Root port (Figure 8.9).
Page 241

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features • Sync and Reroot – The Root port then asserts a sync and a reroot signal on all the ports on the bridge. The signal tells the ports that a new Root port has been assigned and they are to renegotiate their new roles and states.
Page 242

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide • Sync and Rerooted – When the ports on Routing Switch 200 have completed the reroot phase, they assert their rerooted signals and continue to assert their sync signals as they continue in their discarding states. They also continue to negotiate their roles and states with their peer ports (Figure 8.11).
Page 243

Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Advanced STP Features • Synced and Agree – When all the ports on the bridge assert their synced signals, the new Root port asserts its own synced signal and sends an RST BPDU to Port4/Routing Switch 60 that contains an agreed flag (Figure 8.11).

SuperSpan SuperSpan is an HP STP enhancement that allows Service Providers (SPs) to use STP in both SP networks and customer networks. The SP devices are HP devices and are configured to tunnel each customers' STP BPDUs through the SP.
Page 271

SuperSpan uses a SuperSpan customer ID to uniquely identify and forward traffic for each customer. You assign the customer ID as part of the SuperSpan configuration of the HP devices in the SP. In Figure 8.26, the spanning trees of customer 1 and customer 2 do not interfere with one another because the SP network isolates each customer’s spanning tree based on the SuperSpan customer IDs in the traffic.
Page 272

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide Preforwarding State To ensure that the customer's network has time to converge at Layer 2 and prevent loops, the HP devices configured for SuperSpan use a special forwarding state, Preforwarding. The Preforwarding state occurs between the Learning and Forwarding states and by default lasts for five seconds. During the Preforwarding state, the HP device forwards tunneled BPDUs from customers only and does not forward data traffic.

The HP PVST support is automatically enabled when a port receives a PVST BPDU and does not require configuration on the HP or Cisco device. When PVST is enabled on an HP port, that port sends BPDUs in PVST format instead of HP’s spanning tree format.

Page 297: Topology Groups

Topology groups simplify Layer 2 configuration and provide scalability by enabling you to use the same instance of a Layer 2 protocol for multiple VLANs. For example, if an HP device is deployed in a Metro network and provides forwarding for two MRP rings that each contain 128 VLANs, you can configure a topology group for each ring. If a link failure in a ring causes a topology change, the change is applied to all the VLANs in the ring’s topology group.

Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) is an HP proprietary protocol that provides redundancy and sub- second failover in Layer 2 and Layer 3 mesh topologies. Based on the HP Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRPE), VSRP provides one or more backups for a Routing Switch. If the active Routing Switch becomes unavailable, one of the backups takes over as the active device and continues forwarding traffic for the network.
Page 315: Layer 2 And Layer 3 Redundancy, Master Election And Failover

Configuring Metro Features In this example, two HP devices are configured as redundant paths for VRID 1. On each of the devices, a Virtual Router ID (VRID) is configured on a port-based VLAN. Since VSRP is primarily a Layer 2 redundancy protocol, the VRID applies to the entire VLAN.

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide and returns to normal Backup status. • If the Backup does not receive a Hello message with a higher priority than its own by the time the hold-down timer expires, the Backup becomes the new Master and starts forwarding Layer 2 traffic on all ports. If you increase the timer scale value, each timer’s value is divided by the scale value.

NOTE: For information about the GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), see “Configuring GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)” on page 12-1. Overview This section describes the HP VLAN features. Configuration procedures and examples appear in later sections of this chapter. Types of VLANs You can configure the following types of VLANs on HP devices.
Page 340

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide When an HP device receives a packet on a port that is a member of a VLAN, the device forwards the packet based on the following VLAN hierarchy: • If the port belongs to an IP sub-net VLAN, IPX network VLAN, or AppleTalk cable VLAN and the packet belongs to the corresponding IP sub-net, IPX network, or AppleTalk cable range, the device forwards the packet to all the ports within that VLAN.
Page 341

Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) Since each port-based VLAN is a separate Layer 2 broadcast domain, by default each VLAN runs a separate instance of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Layer 2 traffic is bridged within a port-based VLAN and Layer 2 broadcasts are sent to all the ports within the VLAN.
Page 342: Default Vlan

Default VLAN By default, all the ports on an HP device are in a single port-based VLAN. This VLAN is called DEFAULT-VLAN and is VLAN number 1. HP devices do not contain any protocol VLANs or IP sub-net, IPX network, or AppleTalk cable VLANs by default.
Page 343

802.1q tagging is an IEEE standard that allows a networking device to add information to a Layer 2 packet in order to identify the VLAN membership of the packet. HP devices tag a packet by adding a four-byte tag to the packet.
Page 344

If you use tagging on multiple devices, each device must be configured for tagging and must use the same tag value. In addition, the implementation of tagging must be compatible on the devices. The tagging on all HP devices is compatible with other HP devices.
Page 345

User-configured port-based VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) STP is disabled by default on HP Routing Switches. Also by default, each port-based VLAN has a separate instance of STP. Thus, when STP is globally enabled, each port-based VLAN on the device runs a separate spanning tree.
Page 346

VLAN, then configure routing parameters on the virtual routing interfaces. For example, to enable an HP 9300 series Routing Switch to route IP traffic from one IP sub-net VLAN to another, you must configure a virtual routing interface on each IP sub-net VLAN, then configure the appropriate IP routing parameters on each of the virtual routing interfaces.
Page 347

Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) • Dynamic ports • Static ports You also can explicitly exclude ports. Dynamic Ports Dynamic ports are added to a VLAN when you create the VLAN. However, if a dynamically added port does not receive any traffic for the VLAN’s protocol within ten minutes, the port is removed from the VLAN. However, the port remains a candidate for port membership.
Page 348: Super Aggregated Vlans

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide Ports in a new protocol VLAN that do not receive traffic for the VLAN’s protocol age out after 10 minutes and become candidate ports. Figure 11.8 shows what happens if a candidate port receives traffic for the VLAN’s protocol.
Page 349: Trunk Group Ports And Vlan Membership, Summary Of Vlan Configuration Rules, Routing Between Vlans

VLAN, nor can you have an IPX protocol VLAN and an IPX network VLAN in the same port-based VLAN. As an HP device receives packets, the VLAN classification starts from the highest level VLAN first. Therefore, if an interface is configured as a member of both a port-based VLAN and an IP protocol VLAN, IP packets coming into the interface are classified as members of the IP protocol VLAN because that VLAN is higher in the VLAN hierarchy.
Page 350

Some configurations may require simultaneous switching and routing of the same single protocol across different sets of ports on the same router. When IP, IPX, or Appletalk routing is enabled on an HP Routing Switch, you can route these protocols on specific interfaces while bridging them on other interfaces. In this scenario, you can create two separate backbones for the same protocol, one bridged and one routed.
Page 351: Assigning A Different Vlan Id To The Default Vlan, Assigning Trunk Group Ports

Dynamic Port Assignment All Switch ports are dynamically assigned to any non-routable VLAN on HP Routing Switches. To maintain explicit control of the VLAN, you can explicitly exclude ports when configuring any non-routable Layer 3 VLAN on an HP Routing Switch.

Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) Using Separate ACLs on IP Follower Virtual Routing Interfaces NOTE: This section applies to flow-based ACLs only. The IP follower feature allows multiple virtual routing interfaces to share the same IP address. One virtual routing interface has the IP address and the other virtual routing interfaces are configured to follow the virtual routing interface that has the address.
Page 376: Configuring Vlan Groups And Virtual Routing Interface Groups, Configuring A Vlan Group

To simplify configuration when you have many VLANs with the same configuration, you can configure VLAN groups and virtual routing interface groups. NOTE: VLAN groups are supported on HP Routing Switches with Management 2 or higher modules. NOTE: VLAN groups and virtual interface groups are supported only on the chassis-based Routing Switches.
Page 377: Configuring A Virtual Routing Interface Group

Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs) NOTE: The device’s memory must be configured to contain at least the number of VLANs you specify for the higher end of the range. For example, if you specify 2048 as the VLAN ID at the high end of the range, you first must increase the memory allocation for VLANs to 2048 or higher.

Enhanced Performance (EP) Chassis Modules Temperature Sensor Every EP module contains a temperature sensor. Depending on the temperature reported by the sensor, the software can send a warning if the temperature exceeds the normal threshold and can even shut the device down if the temperature exceeds the safe threshold.
Page 488

You also can manually configure a port for 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover. The pin assignments and the status LEDs are the same as the ones for the 100 and 1000 Mbps ports on other HP modules. See Table B.3 on page B-3.
Page 489

To connect the EP module to the network, you can use a cable that terminates in another 50-pin connector or one that terminates in 12 RJ-45 connectors, depending on the patch panel you are using. NOTE: HP does not provide the cables or patch panels. However, you can order cables and patch panels from Superior Module Products, www.superiormod.com.
Page 490

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide Figure B.7 shows an example of a patch panel that accepts a 50-pin connector, and converts the signals to 12 RJ 45 sockets. Each of the RJ-45 sockets uses four signals per the RJ-21 wiring standard. You can use Cat5 cables with RJ-45 connectors to plug your network devices into the patch panel.
