    Switch and the propagation delays of the cables. Protocol The software allows MediaGateway to be converted in a time-aware system bridge, which implements the transport of time-synchronization information and also the mechanism for the measurement of the propagation delay.

  • Page 37: Propagation Delay Measurement

    „Time-aware system i-1“ and the first slave port of the MediaGateway „Time-aware system i“, should be measured The measures of the propagation delay are performed by each attached link of an 802.1as communica- tions, it means each side of the link will generate and response to these packets, called Pdelay_Request, Pdelay_Response and Pdelay_Response_Follow_Up.

  • Page 38: Using 802.1 As

    Note: Only one port in each bridge can receive the information of one attached 802.1AS Master. This means that only one port of this MediaGateway BridgeX should be configured as a BridgeX_Slave, but more than one port of the same BridgeX can be configured as BridgeX_Master, allowing so a distribution of the time reference 1 to N (with all the devices of the bridge sharing the same time reference, with N limited to 3).

  • Page 39: Limitations

    Due the need of working constantly with a high precision timestamping’s and the huge number of packets pro 802.1AS OABR port that should be received and transmitted by the microcontroller of the MediaGateway there are some limitations that the user has to know before start to use it. •...

  • Page 40: Vlan Configuration

    VLAN work in the same was as physical LANs. Source device sends a packet to an end station or network device inside the same VLAN. The MediaGateway allows the user to create Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), in order to sepa- rate traffic of different sources and providing a better general performance.

  • Page 41: Single Tagging - Ieee 802.1Q (Vlan) Mode

    Single Tagging - IEEE 802.1q (VLAN) mode When the “IEEE 802.1q (VLAN) mode” is enabled, it is possible to can up to 4096 VLANs (Virtual Local Area Network) for routing the traffic through the switch. Note: This is a global option applying to all three switches. Warning: Expert knowledge is needed to use these VLAN settings! Only use these settings if you have understood the VLAN process.
  • Page 42 View of the Port Configuration with Single Tagging activated: Once IEEE 802.1q (VLAN) mode is enabled, several fields common to all ports will be avaliable: • Default VLAN ID: User can set the default VLAN identifier for this port. Note: Untagged frames received to this port will be tagged with its Default VLAN ID. If user does not set a Default VLAN ID, frames will be tagged with ID=1 at ingress.

  • Page 43: Single Tagging Example

    Warning: As our computer is not using VLAN, we untag packets. b. For CPU port, we set the same VLAN as in PC-Config. Warning: MediaGateway´s CPU is not using VLANs. Make sure you untag the frames. Page 43 of 63...

  • Page 45: Double Tagging - Ieee 802.1Q (Vlan) Mode

    Double Tagging - IEEE 802.1q (VLAN) mode Media Gateway supports Double tagging. This feature can be enabled at the global configuration. Note: This is a global option applying to all three switches. This feature allows to use a second tag “Outer Tag” besides the Single tag “Inner Tag”. This extra tag (Double tag) provides an addition layer of tagging to the existing IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
  • Page 46 With enabled “Double tagging” for each port, user can set now the following parameters for VLAN settings. Following picture shows in green the available fields for Double tagging. Default VLAN ID: User can set the default VLAN identifier for this port. Note: Untagged frames received to this port will be tagged with its Default VLAN ID.
  • Page 47 If double tagging is active the “Normalization” process takes place on all ingress packets on all ports. The normalization process modifies all incoming packets with one or zero VLAN tags so that every packet has two VLAN tags afterwards. Every packet that flows through the switch is double tagged. Three different cases of normalization are possible: Packet is received with two VLAN tags (double tagged)

  • Page 48: Double Tagging Example

    Double Tagging Example The scenario of this use-case is: • Up to six BroadR-Reach cameras should be connected to their dedicated ports on one central ICAM ECU. • Each camera stream must not influence the other camera streams. • Mirroring of all the camera data streams to the “Datalogger” gigabit Ethernet port has to be possible. Note: By default all series cameras are configured as a BroadR-Reach Master and FullOut.
  • Page 49 The “Datalogger” gigabit Ethernet port and the internal ports (P4, P8) connecting the three switches are configured so that all incoming BroadR-Reach packets will be mirrored to the data-logging port, regard- less of the address resolution learning mechanism of the switches (“promiscuous mode”). To achieve this, suitable mirror maps are defined as well as the VLAN Memberships of the BR-Ports for the internal ports (S1-P8 and S3-P4) and the data-logging port (S2-P5).

  • Page 50: Mac Filtering For Mirroring

    9. MAC Filtering for mirroring This new feature allows the user to filter undesired packets arriving from several sources to be mirrored to a Datalogger. Note: This feature is only available on Ethernet Ports (S1-P5, S2-P5, S3-P5, S3-P8) By default, no port has Mirror activated, so this feature won’t be active by default If the user wants to mirror traffic from several sources but does not need all of them to be mirrored, this options allows to “filter”...
  • Page 51 2. Mirroring is active and MAC filtering activated for Broadcast packets FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF MAC 1 MAC 2 In this case, all devices will be mirrored on S1-P5 as usual in normal mirroring but packets with destination MAC FF:FF:FF:FF:FF which the user does not need to analyze will not reach the port S1-P5.
