You can use either the copper 10/100/1000 port or the equivalent fiber SFP port but not both at the same time. By default, combo ports are set to preferred fiber, which means that the OmniSwitch 6800 Series switch will use the fiber SFP port instead of the equivalent copper RJ-45 port if both ports are enabled and have a valid link.
RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (ports 1–20). In addition, the OmniSwitch 6800-24 has four combo ports (ports 21–24) that are shared between four copper RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and four SFP 1000 Mbps (1Gbps) ports.

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.
No router port defined. VLAN IP router MTU size vlan mtu-ip 1500 bytes VLAN authentication status vlan authentication Disabled VLAN port associations vlan port default All ports initially associated with default VLAN 1. page 4-2 OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...
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 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 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.

If 802.1Q tagging is required on a fixed (non-mobile) port, then the vlan 802.1q command is still used to statically tag VLANs for the port. See Chapter 9, “Configuring 802.1Q,” for more information. OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004 page 4-9...
VLAN. Also, STP is enabled/disabled on individual ports. So even if STP is enabled for the VLAN, a port assigned to that VLAN must also have STP enabled. Chapter 5, “Configuring Spanning Tree Parameters.” page 4-10 OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...
The following vlan router ip command example assigns IP network address 21.0.0.1 to a VLAN 455 router port with a Class A subnet mask, forwarding status, and Ethernet-II encapsulation: -> vlan 455 router ip 21.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0 forward e2 OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004 page 4-11...
-> vlan 455 router ip 40.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 forward Use the show vlan show vlan router ip commands to verify VLAN IP router port changes. For more information about these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. page 4-12 OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...
To determine the total number of VLANs configured on the switch, and the number of VLANs with IP router ports defined, use the show vlan router mac status command. For more information about this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004 page 4-13...
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 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...

Based on the IEEE 802.1D standard, the Alcatel STP implementation distributes the Spanning Tree load between the primary management switch in the stack and the other switches in the stack. This ensures a Spanning Tree that continues to respond to STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU) received on switch ports and port link up and down states in the event of a management fail over to a backup management switch.

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 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...
When a bridge receives BPDU on its designated port that contains information that is less attractive • (lower priority values and/or higher path costs), it forwards its own information to other LANs to which it is connected for consideration. OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004 page 5-5...
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 6800 Series Network Configuration Guide November 2004...

Using only IP, which is always enabled on the switch, devices connected to ports on the same VLAN are able to communicate at Layer 2. The initial configuration for all Alcatel switches consists of a default VLAN 1. All switch ports are initially assigned to this VLAN. When another switch is added (stacked), all of that switch’s ports are also assigned to VLAN 1.

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.

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 6800 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.
IPMS uses decisions made by the routing protocols and forwards multicast traffic to ports that request group membership. See the OmniSwitch 6800 Series Advanced Routing Configuration Guide for more information on IP multicast routing protocols.
IGMP version 2 (IGMPv2) handles forwarding by IP multicast destination address only. IGMP version 3 (IGMPv3) handles forwarding by source IP address and IP multicast desti- nation address. OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches support IGMPv2 and IGMPv3. Note. See “Configuring the IGMP Proxy Version”...
Page 466
Exclude list forwarding is not supported as it is not a requirement for SSM, and specifically Protocol Independent Multicast–Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM). See the OmniSwitch 6800 Series Advanced Routing Configuration Guide for more information on SSM. page 23-6...
