This guide provides information on how to configure traffic management features. Applicable products This guide applies to these products: Aruba 2530 Switch Series (J9772A, J9773A, J9774A, J9775A, J9776A, J9777A, J9778A, J9779A, J9780A, J9781A, J9782A, J9783A, J9853A, J9854A, J9855A, J9856A, JL070A) Switch prompts used in this guide Examples in this guide are representative and may not match your particular switch/environment.
Chapter 2 VLANs Understanding VLANs Aruba-OS wired switches are 802.1Q VLAN-enabled. In the factory default state, the switch is enabled for up to 256 VLANs. You can reconfigure the switch to support more VLANs. The maximum VLANs allowed varies according to the switch series. A group of networked ports assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain configured on the switch.
Static VLANs are configured with a name, VLAN ID number (VID) and port members. For dynamic VLANs, see GVRP. 802.1Q compatibility enables you to assign each switch port to multiple VLANs. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Page 15
Table 1: Port based and protocol based VLAN Function Port-Based VLANs Protocol-Based VLANs IP Addressing Usually configured with at least one You can configure IP addresses on all unique IP address. protocol VLANs, but IP addressing is used only on IPv4 and IPv6 VLANs. A port-based VLAN can have no IP address.
VLAN environments You can configure different VLAN types in any combination. The default VLAN will always be present. For more on the default VLAN, see VLAN support and the default VLAN. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
VLAN environment Elements The default VLAN (port- In the default VLAN configuration, all ports belong to VLAN 1 as based; VID of 1) only untagged members. VLAN 1 is a port-based VLAN. Multiple VLAN environment In addition to the default VLAN, the configuration can include one or more other port-based VLANs and one or more protocol VLANs.
VLANs can be removed from the default VLAN. If internal (IP) routing is enabled on the switch, then the external router is not needed for traffic to move between port-based VLANs. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
A switch with multiple VLANs configured and internal routing disabled Protocol VLAN environment The figure in Multiple port-based VLANs illustrates a protocol VLAN environment also. In this case, VLANs W and X represent routable protocol VLANs. VLANs Y and Z can be any protocol VLAN. As noted for the discussion of multiple port-based VLANs, VLAN 1 is not shown.
VLAN, while 802.1Q, or tagged VLANs can combine several VLANs in one link. Thus on the 802.1Q-compliant device, separate ports (configured as untagged) must be used to connect separate VLANs to non-802.1Q devices. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Tagged and untagged VLAN technology in the same network VLAN tagging rules When tagging is needed When a port belongs to two or more VLANs of the same type, they remain as separate broadcast domains and cannot receive traffic from each other without routing. NOTE: If multiple, non-routable VLANs exist in the switch—such as NETbeui protocol VLANs—they cannot receive traffic from each other.
Page 22
3. If the port is a member of an untagged, port-based VLAN, the switch forwards the packet to that VLAN. Otherwise, the switch drops the packet. Figure 1: Untagged VLAN operation Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
This also applies if a port on a different module or port-bank is added to an existing VLAN. Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not recommend configuring rate limiting on VLANs that include ports spanning modules or port-banks. In the following example, ports 2, 3 and 24 form one VLAN, with ports 1 through 24 in the same port-bank.

VID in every device where configured. That is, if the Red VLAN has a VID of 10 in switch X, then 10 must also be the Red VID in switch Y. Figure 5: Example of VLAN ID numbers assigned in the VLAN names screen Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Additional VLAN tagging considerations • Since the purpose of VLAN tagging is to allow multiple VLANs on the same port, any port that has only one VLAN assigned to it can be configured as "Untagged" (the default) if the authorized inbound traffic for that port arrives untagged.

packets directed through it for the switch. This causes poor performance and the appearance of an intermittent or broken link. Figure 6: Invalid forwarding configuration Action/solution Reconfigure the switches in the configuration. Procedure 1. Use only one cable or port trunk between single-forwarding and multiple-forwarding database devices. 2.
VLANs allowed varies according to the switch series. The maximum VLAN values for the switch documented in this guide are as follows: Attribute MAX Number of VLANs 2530 Switch Series; YA/YB code, 2540 Switch Series; YC code VLAN Table Continued Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Attribute MAX Number of VLANs IP VLAN 512 total with up to: • 512 IPv4 • 512 IPv6 static routes 256 total The maximum VIDs is 4094. Per-port static VLAN configuration options example This example shows the options available to assign individual ports to a static VLAN. GVRP, if configured, affects these options and the VLAN behavior on the switch.

| fe80::218:71ff:febd:ee00/64 tentative Interactions with DHCP Disabling Layer 3 functionality and DHCP are mutually exclusive, with DHCP taking precedence over disable layer3 on a VLAN. The following interactions occur: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
• If the disable layer3 command is executed when DHCP is already configured, no disabling of the VLAN occurs. This error message displays: “Layer 3 cannot be disabled on a VLAN that has DHCP enabled.” • From the CLI: If disable layer3 is configured already and an attempt is made to configure DHCP, DHCP takes precedence and will be set.
• Use port A2 to extend the Management VLAN to port B1 which is already configured as a tagged member of My_VLAN, on an adjacent switch that supports the Management VLAN feature. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
switch(config)# management-vlan 100 switch(config)# vlan 100 tagged a1 switch(config)# vlan 100 tagged a2 Configuration Example Obtaining an IP address using DHCP (CLI) Use DHCP to obtain an IPv4 address for your Management VLAN or a client on that VLAN. The following examples illustrate when an IP address will be received from the DHCP server.

Monitoring Port Security" in the Access Security Guide for your switch. NOTE: MAC authentication is not recommended in voice VLAN applications. Prioritizing voice VLAN QoS (Optional) Without configuring the switch to prioritize voice VLAN traffic, one of the following conditions applies: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
• If the ports in a voice VLAN are not tagged members, the switch forwards all traffic on that VLAN at "normal" priority. • If the ports in a voice VLAN are tagged members, then the switch forwards all traffic on that VLAN at whatever priority the traffic has when received inbound on the switch.
PCs connected to ports belonging to the Management VLAN can manage and reconfigure the switch.

NOTE: In the factory-default configuration, the DEFAULT_VLAN is the Primary VLAN. Per-VLAN features IGMP and some other features operate on a per VLAN basis. This means you must configure such features separately for each VLAN in which you want them to operate. Default VLAN You can rename the default VLAN, but you cannot change its VID (1) or delete it from the switch.
• A port can be a member of one untagged, port-based VLAN. All other port-based VLAN assignments for that port must be tagged. The "Untagged" designation enables VLAN operation with non 802.1Q- compliant devices. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...

Example of GVRP operation In the following example, Tagged VLAN ports on switch A and switch C advertise VLANs 22 and 33 to ports on other GVRP-enabled switches that can dynamically join the VLANs. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
GVRP operation Options for a GVRP-aware port receiving advertisements • If there is not already a static VLAN with the advertised VID on the receiving port, such a port can dynamically create the VLAN and become a member. • If the switch already has a static VLAN assignment with the same VID as in the advertisement and the port is configured to Auto for that VLAN, then the port will dynamically join the VLAN and begin moving that VLAN's traffic.
Learn (the default). However, to send advertisements in your network, one or more static (Tagged, Untagged, or Auto) VLANs must be configured on one or more switches (with GVRP enabled), depending on your topology. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Enabling a port for dynamic joins You can configure a port to dynamically join a static VLAN. The join will occur if that port subsequently receives an advertisement for the static VLAN. This is done by using the Auto and Learn options described in the table Controlling VLAN behavior on ports with static VLANs.

Because dynamic VLANs operate as Tagged VLANs and because a tagged port on one device cannot communicate with an untagged port on another device, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use Tagged VLANs for the static VLANs you will use to generate advertisements.
NOTE: A port can learn of a dynamic VLAN through devices that are not aware of GVRP. VLANs must be disabled in GVRP-unaware devices to allow tagged packets to pass through. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...

A message sent by a host to the querier indicating that the host has ceased to be a member of a specific multicast group. IGMP multicasting IGMP identifies members of a multicast group within a subnet and lets IGMP-configured hosts and routers join or leave multicast groups based on the following: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
• An IP multicast packet includes the multicast group address to which the packet belongs. • When an IGMP client connected to a switch port needs to receive multicast traffic from a specific group, it joins the group by sending an IGMP report (join request) to the network. The multicast group specified in the join request is determined by the requesting application running on the IGMP client.
IP address; thus the network administrator must ensure that another IGMP device acts as querier. Hewlett Packard Enterprise also advises that an additional IGMP device be available as backup querier. Table 10: Comparison of IGMP operation with and without IP addressing...
continues to transmit the multicast group during this short time and because the group is no longer registered the switch then floods the multicast group to all ports. Because of such multicast flooding, the IGMP Fast-Leave feature is disabled by default on all switches that do not support Data-Driven IGMP. The feature can be enabled on these switches using an SNMP set of the following object: hpSwitchIgmpPortForceLeaveState.<...
To view the IGMP Fast-Leave status of a port use the show running-config or show config command. Setting Forced Fast-Leave using the MIB Fast-Leave and Forced Fast-Leave options for a port can also be set through the switch MIB (Management Information Base). Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Table 11: Forced Fast-Leave States Feature Default Settings Function Forced Fast- Uses the setmib command to enable or disable Forced Leave state Fast-Leave on individual ports. When enabled on a port, (disabled) (enabled) Forced Fast-Leave operates only if the switch detects multiple end nodes (and at least one IGMP client) on that port (disabled)
For example, suppose that your switch has six ports as members of the default VLAN. To enable Forced Fast- Leave on port 6, you would execute the following command to obtain the result. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Changing the Forced Fast-Leave Configuration on Port 6. switch(config)# setmib hpswitchigmpportforcedleavestate.1.6 -i 1 hpSwitchIgmpPortForcedLeaveState.1.6 = 1 where 1 in .1.6 is the default VLAN, 6 in .1.6 indicates port 6 and = 1 verifies Forced Fast-Leave enabled. Using the switch as querier Querier operation The function of the IGMP querier is to poll other IGMP-enabled devices in an IGMP-enabled VLAN to elicit group membership information.

Chapter 6 Multiple instance spanning tree operation Overview of MSTP Without spanning tree, having more than one active path between a pair of nodes causes loops in the network, which can result in duplication of messages leading to a "broadcast storm" that can bring down the network.
Page 104
A multiple spanning tree application Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
MSTP structure MSTP maps active, separate paths through separate spanning tree instances and between MST regions. Each MST region comprises one or more MSTP switches. Note that MSTP recognizes an STP or RSTP LAN as a distinct spanning tree region. Figure 15: An MSTP network with legacy STP and RSTP devices connected How MSTP operates In the factory default configuration, spanning tree operation is off.
• All of the VLANs belonging to a given instance compose a single, active spanning tree topology for that instance. • Each instance operates independently of other regions. Between regions, there is a single, active spanning tree topology. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
How separate instances affect MSTP Assigning different groups of VLANs to different instances ensures that those VLAN groups use independent forwarding paths. For example, in the following figure, each instance has a different forwarding path. Figure 16: Active topologies built by three independent MST instances While allowing only one active path through a given instance, MSTP retains any redundant physical paths in the instance to serve as backups (blocked) paths in case the existing active path fails.
MSTP switches together should be members of all VLANs in the region. Otherwise, the path to the root for a given VLAN will be broken if MSTP selects a spanning tree through a link that does not include that VLAN. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
MSTP compatibility with RSTP or STP IEEE 802.1s MSTP includes RSTP functionality and is designed to be compatible with both IEEE 802.1D and 802.1w spanning tree protocols. Using the default configuration values, your switches will interoperate effectively with RSTP and STP devices. MSTP automatically detects when the switch ports are connected to non-MSTP devices in the spanning tree and communicates with those devices using 802.1D or 802.1w STP BPDU packets, as appropriate.
Configuring MSTP on the switch automatically configures the IST instance and places all statically and dynamically configured VLANs on the switch into the IST instance. This command creates a new MST instance (MSTI) and moves the VLANs specified from the IST to the MSTI. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
You must map at least one VLAN to an MSTI when you create it. You cannot map a VLAN ID to more than one instance. You can create up to 16 MSTIs in a region. The no form of the command removes one or more VLANs from the specified MSTI. If no VLANs are specified, the no form of the command deletes the specified MSTI.

For example, you can use QoS to: • Upgrade or downgrade traffic from various servers. • Control the priority of traffic from dedicated VLANs or applications. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
• Change the priorities of traffic from various segments of your network as your business needs change. • Set priority policies in edge switches in your network to enable traffic-handling rules across the network.

covered in this guide. Also, if the packet enters the switch with an 802.1p priority setting, QoS can override this setting if configured with an 802.1p priority rule to do so. NOTE: If your network uses only one VLAN (and therefore does not require VLAN-tagged ports), you can still preserve 802.1p priority settings in your traffic by configuring the ports as tagged VLAN members on the links between devices you want to honor traffic priorities.
Classifiers for prioritizing outbound packets NOTE: Regarding using multiple criteria: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you configure a minimum number of the available QoS classifiers for prioritizing any given packet type. Increasing the number of active classifier options for a packet type increases the complexity of the possible outcomes and consumes switch resources.
Search order Precedence Global QoS classifier Incoming source-port on the switch Default 7 (lowest) The incoming 802.1p priority (present in tagged VLAN environments) is preserved if no global QoS classifier with a higher precedence matches. The switch uses the lowest-to-highest search order shown in the table to identify the highest-precedence classifier to apply to any given packet.

Some are implied by the DSCP standards for Assured- Forwarding (af) and Expedited-Forwarding (ef).
For example, suppose that the 000001 (dscp 1) codepoint has a priority of 6, and several classifiers use the 000001 codepoint to assign a priority to their respective types of traffic. If you wanted to change the priority of codepoint 000001, you would do the following: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
1. Identify which QoS classifiers use the codepoint. 2. Change the classifier configurations by assigning them to a different DSCP policy, or to an 802.1p priority, or to No-override. 3. Reconfigure the desired priority for the 000001 (dscp 1) codepoint. 4.
A traffic template consists of a set of traffic groups that cover all priorities 0- 7. The number of traffic groups allowed within a traffic template is equal to the number of queues configured on a platform, although a queue may have no priorities mapped to it. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
For example, if you want to configure a switch with a priority to queue mapping that matches a connected networking device’s queue configuration, and the neighbor device has 3 queues configured, all priorities should be mapped to the 3 highest priority queues on the switch in a manner that matches the configuration of the neighbor device.

Chapter 9 Rapid per-VLAN spanning tree (RPVST+) operation Overview of RPVST+ NOTE: For information on configuring basic and multiple instance spanning tree, see Multiple instance spanning tree operation. RPVST+ is a proprietary spanning tree implementation that extends RSTP (802.1w) to run a separate spanning tree for each VLAN on the switch, and ensures that only one active, loop-free path exists between any two nodes on a given VLAN.
6. Use one of the following commands to enable RPVST+ spanning tree operation on the switch: a. One or more selected VLANs: spanning-tree vlan vid-list b. One or more selected VLANs: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...

Sets the switch (bridge) priority for the designated VLAN. The switch compares this priority with the priorities of other switches on the same VLAN to determine the RPVST+ root switch for the VLAN. The lower the priority value, the higher the priority. The switch with the lowest Bridge Identifier on the VLAN is elected as the RPVST+ root switch for that VLAN.

RPVST+ tree can have a different root switch and therefore can span through different links. Since different VLAN traffic can take different active paths from multiple possible topologies, overall network utilization increases. Another major advantage of RPVST+ is that it localizes topology change propagation to individual VLANs. Since there is a separate spanning tree for each VLAN, topology changes affecting a particular VLAN are propagated only inside that VLAN.

Viewing RPVST+ VLAN and vPort system limits Each switch model supports a maximum number of active virtual ports (vPorts). New port VLAN memberships cannot be created once the vPort limit has been reached. Also, there is a maximum recommended number of active vPorts for each fixed-port switch or each module in a chassis switch. Exceeding the maximum recommended number of vPorts can result in dropped BPDUs and potential network loops.

If the Commander is configured to automatically add Members ( Auto Grab=Yes ), the first fifteen discovered Candidates meeting both the following criteria will automatically join the stack: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
• Auto Join parameter set to Yes (the default) • Manager password not configured b. If you configured the Commander to manually add Members ( Auto Grab set to No - the default), begin the process of selecting and adding the desired Candidates. 7.
Any stacking-enabled switch can become a Commander as long as the intended stack name does not already exist on the broadcast domain. This is because creating a Commander automatically creates a corresponding stack. Before you begin configuring stacking parameters: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Procedure 1. Configure IP addressing on the switch intended for stack commander and, if not already configured, on the primary VLAN. (For more on configuring IP addressing, see the ArubaOS-Switch Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.) NOTE: The primary VLAN must have an IP address in order for stacking to operate properly. For more on the primary VLAN, see Aruba-OS Switch Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.
Auto Grab in the Commander to Yes. When you do so, any Candidate discovered with Auto Join set to Yes (the default) and no Manager password, will join the stack, up to the limit of 15 Members. To manually add a candidate, use: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...

(SNs are viewable only on a Commander switch.) • The MAC address of the discovered Candidate you are adding to the stack; to see the MAC address, use show stack view.
Specifies the MAC address of the Commander in the destination stack. If the Candidate has an IP address valid for your network use Telnet or a direct serial port connection to access the CLI for the Candidate switch. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Pushing a candidate into a stack Suppose a Candidate named North Sea with Auto Join off and a valid IP address of 10.28.227.104 is running on a network. You could Telnet to the Candidate, use show stack all to determine the Commander's MAC address, and then push the Candidate into the desired stack.
Suppose you have a switch operating as the Commander for a temporary stack named Test. To eliminate the temporary Test stack and convert the switch into a member of an existing stack named Big_Waters, execute the following commands in the switch's CLI: Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Removing a Member from a stack (CLI) You can remove a Member from a stack using the CLI of either the Commander or the Member. NOTE: When you remove a Member from a stack, the Member's Auto Join parameter is set to No. Removing a stack Member using the Commander’s CLI This option requires the switch number (SN) and the MAC address of the switch to remove.
To access the North Sea console, execute the following Telnet command: switch(config)# telnet 3 You see the CLI prompt for the North Sea switch, allowing you to configure or monitor the switch as if you were directly connected to the console. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
Setting the transmission interval (CLI) All switches in a stack must be set to the same transmission interval to help ensure proper stacking operation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you leave this parameter set to the default 60 seconds. Syntax: stack transmission-interval <seconds>...
After a switch becomes a Member, you can work through the Commander switch to further configure the Member switch as necessary for all of the additional software features available in the switch. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
The Commander switch serves as the in-band entry point for access to the Member switches. For example, the Commander's IP address becomes the path to all stack Members and the Commander's Manager password controls access to all stack Members.

Chapter 11 BYOD-redirect Introduction to BYOD-redirect The BYOD (bring-your-own-device) feature lets you design, manage, and control a BYOD network when you configure the BYOD-redirect feature on your switches. Where BYOD-redirect is enabled on a switch, the device’s client credentials are sent to the BYOD server for registration.
Communication between clients and the IMC server is tunneled by the edge switch: 1. A client request is read by the HTTP task. 2. The HTTP task always redirects, after embedding client IP addresses, a URL trying to access the redirected URL. Aruba 2530 Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch 16.09...
3. The redirect response includes URL parameters: user ip address and url user is trying to access. 4. The client receives a redirect response from the switch and makes an HTTP request to redirect the URL.
