Avaya P882 Multiservice Switch Chassis The Avaya P882 Multiservice Switch Chassis consists of: Slots The P882 chassis provides seventeen slots. Slot 1 is dedicated for a supervisor module and the remaining sixteen are payload slots. In Fabric mode 1, the P882 Chassis supports up to 15 payload slots. Slot seventeen is unsupported in Fabric mode 1.

Page 31 Allocation insufficient power to turn on all modules in the chassis. When using static power allocation, the switch turns on the module in slot 2 (slot 3 if slot 2 contains a redundant supervisor) and then turns on each consecutive module for which sufficient power is available. When the switch reaches a module for which insufficient power is available, the switch stops attempting to turn on modules.

For information on RADIUS, see Chapter 4, “Security.” SNMPv3. SNMPv3 provides encryption and timeliness checks of PDUs and authentication of users.
Page 41: Hunt Groups
Hunt Groups Hunt groups allow you to aggregate bandwidth from multiple ports so they act as one high-bandwidth switch port. Hunt groups create multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic areas of your network. You can create hunt groups that interoperate with other vendors’ equipment (for example, Cisco’s Etherchannel and Sun’s Quad Adapter).

Page 43: Routing Protocols
Routing Protocols The P580 and P882 support the following routing protocols: Access Lists An access list is a group of access control rules. Access control rules describe how to forward (route) packets, as opposed to where to forward them. The how can be to forward the packet with a specific priority(0-7), forward the traffic with an unchanged priority, or filter packets (drop).

Pin # Using Telnet to Manage the Switch You can manage the Avaya Multiservice switch several ways. In addition to managing the switch by means of the Web Agent, SNMP and serial console command line interface (CLI) commands, the switch provides Telnet server capability.
Page 54: Setting Up A Management Interface

Page 55: Terminating A Telnet Session
Although it is possible to establish nested Telnet sessions, Avaya recommends that you establish a separate Telnet session for each switch that you want to manage. A nested Telnet session occurs when you establish a Telnet session from a client to one switch, then through that session, open another Telnet session to a second switch.
Page 56: Using The Web Agent To Configure The Switch
Default value: Maximum value: CAUTION: Avaya recommends that you not disable the inactivity timer. If the inactivity timer is disabled and the maximum number of Telnet sessions is open, none of them will expire. Subsequent attempts to establish a Telnet session will fail. Additionally, idle Telnet sessions may represent security risks.

SSH runs on top of a TCP/IP connection. SSH Server and You can use the Avaya Multiservice switch as a server for SSH connections. Client The SSH server protocol relies on a public/private key pair that is generated on the server.
Page 116: Enabling Ssh On A Tcp Port
When the client connects to the host, the client supplies a list of ciphers that it supports. The server selects the strongest common cipher. You can also configure the Avaya Multiservice switch to force use of a single cipher.

Page 131: Radius Client Support
RADIUS Client Support Overview Purpose of In a network with many Avaya switches, configuring user accounts on each RADIUS of the switches can be time-consuming.You can centralize the user accounts by using a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server.
Page 132: Section Contents
For example, you might use a realm called AvayaRealm to organize all user accounts that can log into Avaya switches in a campus environment. In this campus, you organize network administrators in to two teams, one team for the north campus and one for the south campus.
Page 133: Login Order Of Operations
* Note: If a user has a RADIUS account that does not contain a group Login Order of Operations When a user attempts to log in to the Avaya switch, the switch first checks the local user accounts for the user name and password. If found, the user is logged in using the local settings for that account.

VLAN Introduction This section introduces Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and explains how they operate.
Page 168: What Is A Vlan
Advantages with VLANs: What is a VLAN? The Avaya Multiservice Switch has the ability to create separate logical LANs on the same physical device. These logical segments are referred to as Virtual LANs (VLANs).VLANs are typically groups of users with similar job functionality (i.e.
Page 169 Figure 6-1. Vlans No Tagging The Avaya Multiservice switch is able to separate VLAN traffic between switches across a single Trunk port. To accomplish this, the switch implements VLAN tagging and trunking.
Page 170: Ieee 802.1Q Vlan
Chapter 6 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN The Avaya Multiservice switch is compliant with the IEEE 802.1Q standard Tagging for VLANs and defines a Tag Header. Two Tag formats are defined as an Ethernet Encoded (4 bytes) for 802.3 and Ethernet V2 and SNAP (Service Network Access Point) for Token Ring and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
Page 171: Forwarding Rules
Bind-to-all in this case is not only unnecessary, but also undesired as a lot of irrelevant broadcast/multicast traffic of other VLANs will be sent onto this link and into the switch on the other end, unnecessarily increasing the control-plane load on the supervisor and increasing the chance for harmful layer3 configuration errors.

This is, however, not the case. For example, a 10Base-T device that does not have auto-negotiation capabilities sees FLP bursts simply as a link test signal.

Page 227: Flow Control
When autonegotiation is enabled, remote fault detection is automatically disabled. If the switch is operating in Fabric mode 1, 80-series Gigabit modules support remote fault detection on only one port. If you enable remote fault detection on more than one port, a loss of traffic occurs.
Page 228 The Disable option disables flow control (the default). The Enable option enables IEEE802.3X (XOFF/XON) Flow Control on the line. The Avaya Multiservice Switch is the sender of pauses based upon inbound traffic and the Avaya Multiservice Switch is the receiver of pauses based upon outgoing traffic (and the ability of attached equipment to use the protocol).
Page 229: Switch Port Features
Switch Port Features The Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switches support up to 1000 VLANs and also support multiple forwarding databases. This means that each VLAN is associated with its own Address Forwarding Table (AFT). Therefore, identical MAC addresses can simultaneously exist on multiple VLANs.

Multi-layer Assigning VLANs to a Port and Associated Issues There are two ways to assign VLANs to ports on the Avaya Multiservice Switch. You configure the Port(s) to the VLAN desired for the individual port(s), or entire module. Assigning the VLAN this way enables the port(s) to receive information for the assigned VLAN and causes all untagged frames arriving on this port to be assigned to the specified VLAN.

IP Unicast Hash mode may need to be changed from DA-only to SA-DA. When you enable an ACL, the switch automatically sets hash mode for IP unicast traffic to SA-DA. Avaya recommends that you not change this setting unless changing it to DA-only greatly reduces the number of forwarding entries.

You limit the bandwidth by specifying the guaranteed bit rate for a port. If this bit rate is exceeded, the switch drops the excess packets. For example, if you set policing on an ingress queue to be 5 Mbps, and traffic exceeds that 5 Mbps rate, all traffic that exceeds the 5Mbps is dropped.
