  • Page 73: Vlan Tagging

    Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Marketing (Mktg). Each VLAN has several physical ports assigned to it with PC’s connected to those ports. When traffic flows from a PC on the Sales VLAN for example, that traffic is only forwarded out the other ports assigned to that VLAN.
  • Page 74 Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features three available Port Multi-VLAN binding modes are: • Bind to All - the port is programmed to support the entire 3K VLANs range. Traffic from any VLAN is forwarded through a port defined as “Bind to All”.
  • Page 75: Automatic Vlan Learning

    Configured mode will support the same list of VLANs Automatic VLAN Learning The Avaya P330-ML learns the VLANs automatically from traffic received on ports in “bind-to-all” mode. The maximum number of VLANs, 253, includes these dynamically learned VLANs and any VLANs you added manually.

  • Page 80: Spanning Tree Implementation In The P330 Family

    Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Note: You must manually configure uplink and backbone ports (including LAG logical ports) to be "non-edge" ports, using the CLI command set port edge admin state. • Point-to-point Link ports — This port type applies only to ports interconnecting RSTP compliant switches and is used to define whether the devices are interconnected using shared Ethernet segment or pont-to-point Ethernet link.
  • Page 81: Spanning Tree Protocol Cli Commands

    Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features • The 802.1w standard defines differently the default path cost for a port compared to STP (802.1d). In order to avoid network topology change when migrating to RSTP, the STP path cost is preserved when changing the spanning tree version to RSTP.

  • Page 84: Lag

    A LAG uses multiple ports to create a high bandwidth connection with another device. For example: Assigning four 100BASE-T ports to a LAG on an Avaya P330 allows the switch to communicate at an effective rate of 400 Mbps with another switch.
  • Page 85: Lag Implementation In The Avaya P330 Family Of Products

    This section describes the implementation of the LAG feature in the P330 Family of products. With the P332GT-ML, you can aggregate the two GBIC ports to form a LAG, you can aggregate the bandwidth of groups of up to four 1000Base-T ports in a LAG, or pairs of adjacent 1000 Base-T ports within a group, and one LAG of two remaining 1000Base-T ports for a maximum of 6 LAGs per switch.

  • Page 94: Port Classification

    Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Port Classification Overview With the P330, you can classify any port as regular or valuable. Setting a port to valuable means that, in case of Ethernet link failure of that port, a link fault trap can be sent even when the port is disabled and a fast aging operation on the CAM table will be performed.
  • Page 95: Stack Redundancy

    Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features Stack Redundancy In the unlikely event that a P330 switch or Octaplane link should fail, stack integrity is maintained if the redundant cable is connected to the stack. The broken link is bypassed and data transmission continues uninterrupted. The single management IP address for the stack is also preserved for uninterrupted management and monitoring.

Note: Layer 3 features are relevant to P332GT-ML operating in router mode. You must purchase a Layer 3 preconfigured P332GT-ML module or a Routing License Key Certificate for the P332GT-ML in order to operate the P332GT-ML in router mode.

The next hop may or may not be the ultimate destination host. If not, the next hop is usually another router, which executes the same switching decision process.
  • Page 99: Routing Configuration

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features Routing Configuration Forwarding The P330 forwards IP packets between IP networks. When it receives an IP packet through one of its interfaces, it forwards the packet through one of its interfaces. The P330 supports multinetting, enabling it to forward packets between IP subnets on the same VLAN as well as between different VLANs.

  • Page 106: Rip (Routing Interchange Protocol) Configuration

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features RIP (Routing Interchange Protocol) Configuration RIP Overview RIP is a “distance vector protocol”— that is, the router decides which path to use on distance (the number of intermediate hops). In order for this protocol to work correctly, all of the routers (and possibly the nodes) need to gather information on how to reach each destination in the Internet.

  • Page 114: Route Redistribution

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features Route Redistribution Route redistribution is the interaction of multiple routing protocols. OSPF and RIP can be operated concurrently in the P330. In this case, the P330 can be configured to redistribute routes learned from one protocol into the domain of the other routing protocol.
  • Page 115: Arp (Address Resolution Protocol) Table Configuration

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Table Configuration ARP Overview IP logical network addresses are independent of physical addresses. Since the physical address must be used to convey data in the form of a frame from one device to another, a mechanism is required to acquire a destination device hardware address from its IP address.
  • Page 116: The Arp Table

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features The ARP Table The ARP table is used to store recently used pairs of IP/MAC addresses. This saves time and communication costs, since the host looks in the ARP cache first when transmitting a packet. If the information is not there, then the host sends an ARP Request (see Figure 12.2).

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features BOOTP/DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Relay Configuration BOOTP/DHCP Overview BOOTP Short for Bootstrap Protocol, BootP is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
  • Page 118: Bootp/Dhcp Cli Commands

    Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features The DHCP/BOOTP server uses the relayed network information to decide from which subnet the address should be allocated. Therefore, the DHCP/BOOTP server must be configured to allocate addresses from the relayed networks configured on the P330.

    (LANs). Almost all LANs for PCs are based on the NetBIOS. Some LAN manufacturers have even extended it, adding additional network capabilities. The Avaya P330 can be configured to relay netbios UDP broadcast packets. This feature is used for applications such as WINS that use broadcast but may need to communicate with stations on other subnets or VLANs.
