  • Page 41: Flash Memory Storage

    Flash memory storage Switch software image storage The BayStack 380 Switch uses flash memory to store the switch software image. The flash memory allows you to update the software image with a newer version without changing the switch hardware (see page 164).

    The BayStack 380 Switch features auto-polarity. With autonegotiation enabled, auto-polarity automatically reverses the polarity of a pair of pins from positive to negative or negative to positive. This corrects the polarity of the received data if the port detects that the polarity of the data has been reversed due to a wiring error.

    SNMP MIB support The BayStack 380 Switch supports an SNMP agent with industry standard MIBs, as well as private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The switch supports the MIB-II (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed management statistics.

    VLAN, it is added to a group of ports (workgroup) that belong to one broadcast domain. The BayStack 380 Switch allows you to assign ports to VLANs using the console, Telnet, Web-based management, or an appropriate SNMP-based application. You can assign different ports (and therefore the devices attached to these ports) to different broadcast domains.
  • Page 56: Ieee 802.1Q Tagging

    IEEE 802.1Q tagging BayStack 380 switches operate in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q tagging rules. Important terms used with the 802.1Q tagging feature are: • VLAN identifier (VID)—the 12-bit portion of the VLAN tag in the frame header that identifies an explicit VLAN. When other types of VLANs are enabled, this default value can be overridden by the values enabled in the Web-based management interface.
  • Page 57: Figure 11 Default Vlan Settings

    Unregistered packet—a tagged frame that contains a VID where the receiving port is not a member of that VLAN. The default configuration settings for BayStack 380 switches have all ports set as untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as PVID = 1. Every VLAN is assigned a unique VLAN identifier (VID) that distinguishes it from all other VLANs.
  • Page 58: Figure 12 Port-Based Vlan Assignment

    Before As shown in switch through port 5, which is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2. The untagged packet remains unchanged as it leaves the switch through port 7, which is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2.

    Before As shown in switch through port 5, which is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2. However, the tagged packet is stripped (untagged) as it leaves the switch through port 7, which is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2.
  • Page 60: Vlans Spanning Multiple Switches

    VLANs spanning multiple 802.1Q tagged switches Figure 16 shows VLANs spanning two BayStack 380 switches. The 802.1Q tagging is enabled on S1, port 2 and on S2, port 1 for VLAN 1 and VLAN 2. Both ports are tagged members of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2.
  • Page 61: Vlans Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches

    Figure 17 shows VLANs spanning multiple untagged switches. In this configuration, Switch S2 does not support 802.1Q tagging and you must use a single switch port on each switch for each VLAN. For this configuration to work properly, you must set spanning tree participation to Disabled (the STP is not supported across multiple LANs).
  • Page 62: Figure 18 Possible Problems With Vlans And Spanning Tree Protocol

    Because the other link connecting VLAN 2 is in Blocking mode, stations on VLAN 2 in Switch S1 cannot communicate with stations in VLAN 2 on Switch S2. With multiple links only one link will be forwarding.
  • Page 63: Shared Servers

    Shared servers BayStack 380 switches allow ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in Figure In this example, clients on different broadcast domains share resources.
  • Page 64: Figure 20 Vlan Broadcast Domains Within The Switch

    In the above configuration, all of the switch ports are set to participate as VLAN port members. This arrangement allows the switch to establish the appropriate broadcast domains within the switch Figure 20 VLAN broadcast domains within the switch Port 2...

  • Page 70: Vlan Configuration Rules

    VLAN configuration rules VLANs operate according to specific configuration rules. When creating VLANs, consider the following rules that determine how the configured VLAN reacts in any network topology: • All ports that are involved in port mirroring must have memberships in the same VLANs.
  • Page 71: Ieee 802.1P Prioritizing

    (by default, all switch ports are set to Low priority). When the switch receives untagged packets on that port, the untagged packets are tagged according to the priority level that you assign to the port.
  • Page 72: Figure 27 Port Transmit Queue

    The newly tagged frame is read within the switch and sent to the port’s high or low transmit queue for disposition. The port transmit queue example shown in Figure 27 applies to all ports in the BayStack 380 switch. Figure 27 Port Transmit Queue...
  • Page 73: Figure 28 Default Traffic Class Configuration Screen Example

    Determine the priority level you want to assign to the switch port. User priority levels are assigned default settings in all BayStack 380 switches. The range is from 0 to 7. The traffic class table can be modified. You can view the settings shown in the Traffic Class configuration screen, and then set the port priority in the VLAN Port Configuration screen.
  • Page 74: Multilink Trunks

    Figure 29 Traffic Class Priority Configuration screen example MultiLink Trunks MultiLink Trunks allow you to group from two to four switch ports together to form a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the interconnection between the devices (up to 8 Gb/s in full-duplex mode). You can configure up to six MultiLink Trunks.

    Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Converters This section describes how the Nortel Networks* Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed Small Form Factor Pluggable Gigabit Interface Converter (CWDM SFP GBIC) works within the optical routing system. It also provides a list of CWDM SFP GBICs by wavelength and shows how they are labeled and color-coded.

    Appendix D Connectors and pin assignments This appendix describes the BayStack 380 Switch port connectors and pin assignments. RJ-45 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX) port connectors The RJ-45 port connectors end stations without using crossover cables. (See page 203 for information about MDI-X ports.) For 10BASE-T connections, use Category 3 (or higher) UTP cable.

    Table 55 lists the RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connector pin assignments. Table 55 RJ-45 port connector pin assignments For 1000BASE-T, all 8 pins are used for four pairs of bi-directional data. Table 56 lists the types of bi-directional data for each of the 1000BASE-T pin connectors.
  • Page 203: Mdi And Mdi-X Devices

    Category 5 cables for MDI to MDI-X connections. Auto-polarity The BayStack 380 Switch features auto-polarity. With autonegotiation enabled, auto-polarity automatically reverses the polarity of a pair of pins from positive to negative or negative to positive. This corrects the polarity of the received data if the port detects that the polarity of the data has been reversed due to a wiring error.
