Page 181: Configuring A Voice Vlan
Configuring a voice VLAN Overview The voice technology is developing quickly, and more and more voice devices are in use. In broadband communities, data traffic and voice traffic are usually transmitted in the network at the same time. Usually, voice traffic needs higher priority than data traffic to reduce the transmission delay and packet loss ratio. A voice VLAN is configured for voice traffic.
Page 182: Voice Vlan Assignment Modes
Voice VLAN assignment modes A port connected to a voice device, an IP phone for example, can be assigned to a voice VLAN in one of the following modes: • Automatic mode—The system matches the source MAC addresses in the protocol packets (untagged packets) sent by the IP phone upon its power-on against the OUI list.
Page 183: Security Mode And Normal Mode Of Voice Vlans
IP phones send tagged voice traffic • Table 46 Required configurations on ports of different link types for them to support tagged voice traffic Voice VLAN assignment mode Port link type supported for tagged voice Configuration requirements traffic Access In automatic mode, the PVID of the port cannot be the voice VLAN.
Page 184: Recommended Voice Vlan Configuration Procedure
Normal mode—In this mode, both voice packets and non-voice packets are allowed to pass • through a voice VLAN-enabled inbound port. When receiving a voice packet, the port forwards it without checking its source MAC address against the OUI addresses configured for the device. If the PVID of the port is the voice VLAN and the port operates in manual VLAN assignment mode, the port forwards all received untagged packets in the voice VLAN.

Page 203: Configuring Mstp
Configuring MSTP As a Layer 2 management protocol, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) eliminates Layer 2 loops by selectively blocking redundant links in a network, and in the mean time, allows for link redundancy. Like many other protocols, STP evolves as the network grows. The later versions of STP are Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).

Page 206 Step Description The device compares the calculated configuration BPDU with the configuration BPDU on the port of which the port role is to be defined, and acts depending on the comparison result: • If the calculated configuration BPDU is superior, the device considers this port as the designated port, and replaces the configuration BPDU on the port with the calculated configuration BPDU, which will be sent out periodically.
Page 207 Figure 179 STP network As shown in Figure 179, the priority values of Device A, Device B, and Device C are 0, 1, and 2, and the path costs of links among the three devices are 5, 10 and 4, respectively. The spanning tree calculation process is as follows: Device state initialization.

MSTP MSTP overcomes the following STP and RSTP limitations: • STP limitations—STP does not support rapid state transition of ports. A newly elected port must wait twice the forward delay time before it transits to the forwarding state, even if it connects to a point-to-point link or is an edge port.
Page 212 Figure 181 Basic concepts in MSTP Figure 182 Network diagram and topology of MST region 3 MST region A multiple spanning tree region (MST region) consists of multiple devices in a switched network and the network segments among them. All these devices have the following characteristics: A spanning tree protocol enabled.

Configuring IGMP snooping Overview IGMP snooping runs on a Layer 2 switch as a multicast constraining mechanism to improve multicast forwarding efficiency. It creates Layer 2 multicast forwarding entries from IGMP packets that are exchanged between the hosts and the router. As shown in Figure 240, when IGMP snooping is not enabled, the Layer 2 switch floods multicast packets...
Page 288 Figure 241 IGMP snooping related ports The following describes the ports involved in IGMP snooping: Router port—Layer 3 multicast device-side port. Layer 3 multicast devices include designated • routers and IGMP queriers. In Figure 241, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch A and GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch B are router ports.
Page 289: How Igmp Snooping Works
NOTE: In IGMP snooping, only dynamic ports age out. Static ports never age out. How IGMP snooping works The ports in this section are dynamic ports. IGMP messages include general query, IGMP report, and leave message. An IGMP snooping-enabled switch performs differently depending on the message. General query The IGMP querier periodically sends IGMP general queries to all hosts and routers identified by the address 224.0.0.1 on the local subnet to determine whether any active multicast group members exist on...
Page 290: Protocols And Standards
An IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 host sends an IGMP leave message to the multicast router when it leaves a multicast group. When the switch receives an IGMP leave group message on a member port, the switch first examines whether a forwarding entry matches the group address in the message, and, if a match is found, determines whether the forwarding entry for the group contains the dynamic member port.

A switch does not forward an MLD report through a non-router port. If the switch forwards a report through a member port, the MLD report suppression mechanism causes all attached hosts that monitor the reported IPv6 multicast group address to suppress their own reports. In this case, the switch cannot determine whether the reported IPv6 multicast group still has active members attached to that port.

Page 314: Configuring Ipv4 And Ipv6 Routing
Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 routing The term "router" in this document refers to both routers and Layer 3 switches. Overview A router selects an appropriate route according to the destination address of a received packet and forwards the packet to the next router. The last router on the path is responsible for sending the packet to the destination host.
Page 315: Default Route
Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the network, the network administrator must modify the static routes manually. Default route A default route is used to forward packets that do not match any specific routing entry in the routing table. Without a default route, a packet that does not match any routing entries is discarded and an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) destination-unreachable packet is sent to the source.

IPv6 management IPv6, also called IP next generation (IPng), was designed by the IETF as the successor to IPv4. One significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits. To configure basic IPv6 settings, enable the IPv6 service function first.
Page 329: Dhcp Overview
DHCP overview The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework to assign configuration information to network devices. DHCP uses the client-server model. Figure 281 shows a typical DHCP application. A DHCP client can obtain an IP address and other configuration parameters from a DHCP server on another subnet through a DHCP relay agent.
Page 330: Dynamic Ip Address Allocation Process
Dynamic IP address allocation process Figure 282 Dynamic IP address allocation process The client broadcasts a DHCP-DISCOVER message to locate a DHCP server. A DHCP server offers configuration parameters such as an IP address to the client in a DHCP-OFFER message. The sending mode of the DHCP-OFFER is determined by the flag field in the DHCP-DISCOVER message.
Page 331: Dhcp Message Format
DHCP message format Figure 283 gives the DHCP message format, which is based on the BOOTP message format and involves eight types. These types of messages have the same format except that some fields have different values. The numbers in parentheses indicate the size of each field in bytes. Figure 283 DHCP message format op (1) htype (1)
Page 332: Dhcp Options
DHCP options DHCP uses the same message format as BOOTP, but DHCP uses the Option field to carry information for dynamic address allocation and to provide additional configuration information to clients. Figure 284 DHCP option format Common DHCP options Common DHCP options: Option 3—Router option.
Page 333: Protocols And Standards
The administrator can locate the DHCP client to further implement security control and accounting. The Option 82 supporting server can also use such information to define individual assignment policies of IP address and other parameters for the clients. Option 82 can include at most 255 sub-options and must have at least one sub-option. Option 82 supports two sub-options: sub-option 1 (Circuit ID) and sub-option 2 (Remote ID).
Page 334: Configuring Dhcp Relay Agent
Configuring DHCP relay agent Overview The DHCP relay agent enables clients to get IP addresses from a DHCP server on another subnet.

Page 343: Configuring Dhcp Snooping
Configuring DHCP snooping DHCP snooping works between the DHCP client and server, or between the DHCP client and DHCP relay agent. It guarantees that DHCP clients obtain IP addresses from authorized DHCP servers. Also, it records IP-to-MAC bindings of DHCP clients (called DHCP snooping entries) for security purposes. DHCP snooping does not work between the DHCP server and DHCP relay agent.

Page 354: Using Diagnostic Tools
Using diagnostic tools Ping Use ping to determine if a specific address is reachable. Ping operates as follows: The source device sends ICMP echo requests (ECHO-REQUEST) to the destination device. The destination device responds by sending ICMP echo replies (ECHO-REPLY) to the source device after receiving the ICMP echo requests.
Page 355: Ping Operation
The source device sends a packet with a TTL value of 2 to the destination device. The second hop responds with a TTL-expired ICMP message. In this way, the source device gets the address of the second device. The above process continues until the packet reaches the destination device. The destination device responds with a port-unreachable ICMP message to the source.

Configuring 802.1X Overview 802.1X is a port-based network access control protocol initially proposed by the IEEE 802 LAN/WAN committee for the security of WLANs. It has been widely used on Ethernet for access control. 802.1X controls network access by authenticating devices connected to the 802.1X-enabled LAN ports. 802.1X architecture 802.1X operates in the client/server model.
Page 361: Controlled/Uncontrolled Port And Port Authorization Status
Controlled/uncontrolled port and port authorization status 802.1X defines two logical ports for the network access port: controlled port and uncontrolled port. Any packet arriving at the network access port is visible to both logical ports. • Controlled port—Allows incoming and outgoing traffic to pass through when it is in the authorized state, and denies incoming and outgoing traffic when it is in the unauthorized state, as shown Figure 318.

Page 366 Figure 325 802.1X authentication procedure in EAP relay mode When a user launches the 802.1X client software and enters a registered username and password, the 802.1X client software sends an EAPOL-Start packet to the network access device. The network access device responds with an Identity EAP-Request packet to ask for the client username.
Page 367 The authentication server compares the received encrypted password with the one it generated at step 5. If the two are identical, the authentication server considers the client valid and sends a RADIUS Access-Accept packet to the network access device. Upon receiving the RADIUS Access-Accept packet, the network access device sends an EAP-Success packet to the client, and sets the controlled port in the authorized state so the client can access the network.
Page 368: 802.1X Timers
Figure 326 802.1X authentication procedure in EAP termination mode In EAP termination mode, the network access device rather than the authentication server generates an MD5 challenge for password encryption (see Step 4). The network access device then sends the MD5 challenge together with the username and encrypted password in a standard RADIUS packet to the RADIUS server.

Page 403: Configuring Portal Authentication
Configuring portal authentication Overview Portal authentication helps control access to the Internet. It is also called "Web authentication." A website implementing portal authentication is called a "portal website." With portal authentication, an access device redirects all users to the portal authentication page. All users can access the free services provided on the portal website.
Page 404 Figure 367 Portal system components Authentication client Security policy server Authentication client Portal server Access device Authentication/accounting Authentication client server Authentication client An authentication client is an entity seeking access to network resources. It is typically an end-user terminal, such as a PC. The client can use a browser or a portal client software for portal authentication. Client security check is implemented through communications between the client and the security policy server.
Page 405: Portal System Using The Local Portal Server
Security policy server A security policy server interacts with authentication clients and access devices for security check and resource authorization. The components of a portal system interact in the following procedure: When an unauthenticated user enters a website address in the address bar of the browser to access the Internet, an HTTP request is created and sent to the access device, which redirects the HTTP request to the Web authentication homepage of the portal server.
Page 406: Portal Authentication Modes
Protocols used for interaction between the client and local portal server HTTP and HTTPS can be used for communication between an authentication client and an access device providing the local portal server function. If HTTP is used, there are potential security problems because HTTP packets are transferred in plain text.
Page 407: Layer 2 Portal Authentication Process
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) supports several digital certificate-based authentication methods, for example, EAP-TLS. Working together with EAP, portal authentication can implement digital certificate-based user authentication. Figure 369 Portal support for EAP working flow diagram As shown in Figure 369, the authentication client and the portal server exchange EAP authentication packets.
Page 408: Layer 3 Portal Authentication Process
the access port according to the authorized ACL. You must configure the authorized ACLs on the access device if you specify authorized ACLs on the authentication server. To change the access right of a user, you can specify a different authorized ACL on the authentication server or change the rules of the corresponding authorized ACL on the device.
Page 409 Based on the security check result, the security policy server authorizes the user to access certain resources, and sends the authorization information to the access device. The access device then controls access of the user based on the authorization information. Authentication process with the local portal server Figure 372 Authentication process with local portal server With local portal server, the direct/cross-subnet authentication process is as follows:...
Page 410: Configuring Portal Authentication
The authentication client sends an EAP Request/Identity message to the portal server to initiate an EAP authentication process. The portal server sends a portal authentication request to the access device, and starts a timer to wait for the portal authentication reply. The portal authentication request contains several EAP-Message attributes, which are used to encapsulate the EAP packet sent from the authentication client and carry the certificate information of the client.
Page 411: Recommended Configuration Procedure For Layer 2 Portal Authentication
To implement extended portal functions, install and configure IMC EAD, and make sure the ACLs • configured on the access device correspond to those specified for the resources in the quarantined area and for the restricted resources on the security policy server. On the access device, the security policy server address is the same as the authentication server address.

Step Remarks Optional. Configure a portal-free rule, specifying the source and destination information for packet filtering Configuring a portal-free A portal-free rule allows specified users to access specified external rule websites without portal authentication.

Configuring RADIUS RADIUS is a protocol for implementing Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). For more information about AAA, see "Configuring AAA." Overview Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a distributed information interaction protocol that uses a client/server model. It can protect networks against unauthorized access and is often used in network environments with requirements for both high security and remote user access.
Page 442: Security And Authentication Mechanisms
Security and authentication mechanisms A RADIUS client and the RADIUS server use a shared key to authenticate RADIUS packets and encrypt user passwords that are exchanged between them. The keys are never transmitted over the network. This security mechanism improves the security of RADIUS communication and prevents user passwords from being intercepted on insecure networks.
Page 443: Radius Packet Format
The user accesses the network resources. The host requests the RADIUS client to tear down the connection and the RADIUS client sends a stop-accounting request (Accounting-Request) to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server returns an acknowledgement (Accounting-Response) and stops accounting for the user.

Page 485: Configuring Port Isolation
Configuring port isolation Overview Layer 2 traffic isolation is typically achieved by assigning ports to different VLANs. To save VLAN resources, port isolation is introduced to isolate ports within a VLAN, allowing for great flexibility and security. The switch series supports only one isolation group that is created automatically by the system as isolation group 1.
Page 486: Port Isolation Configuration Example
Table 129 Configuration items Item Description Specify the role of the port or ports in the isolation group: • Isolated port—Assigns the port or ports to the isolation group as an isolated port Config type or ports. • Uplink port—Assigns the port to the isolation group as the uplink port. This option is not available for the switch series.

Page 488: Configuring Acls
Configuring ACLs Unless otherwise stated, ACLs refer to both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs throughout this document. Overview An access control list (ACL) is a set of rules (or permit or deny statements) for identifying traffic based on criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, and port number. ACLs are primarily used for packet filtering.
Page 489: Rule Numbering
Table 130 Depth-first match for ACLs ACL category Sequence of tie breakers More 0s in the source IP address wildcard (more 0s means a narrower IP address range). IPv4 basic ACL Smaller rule ID. Specific protocol number. More 0s in the source IP address wildcard mask More 0s in the destination IP address wildcard IPv4 advanced ACL Narrower TCP/UDP service port number range.
Page 490: Implementing Time-Based Acl Rules
For example, if the numbering step is 5 (the default), and there are five ACL rules numbered 0, 5, 9, 10, and 12, the newly defined rule is numbered 15. If the ACL does not contain any rule, the first rule is numbered 0.

Page 504: Configuring Qos
Configuring QoS Introduction to QoS Quality of Service (QoS) reflects the ability of a network to meet customer needs. In an internet, QoS evaluates the ability of the network to forward packets of different services. The evaluation can be based on different criteria because the network provides various services. Generally, QoS performance is measured with respect to bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio during packet forwarding process.
Page 505 Causes Congestion easily occurs in complex packet switching circumstances in the Internet.

Page 507: Packet Precedences
When packets are classified on the network boundary, the precedence bits in the ToS field of the IP packet header are generally re-set. In this way, IP precedence can be directly used to classify the packets in the network. IP precedence can also be used in queuing to prioritize traffic. The downstream network can either use the classification results from its upstream network or classify the packets again according to its own criteria.

Page 510 Figure 475 SP queuing A typical switch provides eight queues per port. As shown in Figure 475, SP queuing classifies eight queues on a port into eight classes, numbered 7 to 0 in descending priority order. SP queuing schedules the eight queues strictly according to the descending order of priority. It sends packets in the queue with the highest priority first.
Page 511: Traffic Shaping
A typical switch provides eight output queues per port. WRR assigns each queue a weight value (represented by w7, w6, w5, w4, w3, w2, w1, or w0) to decide the proportion of resources assigned to the queue. On a 100 Mbps port, you can set the weight values of WRR queuing to 50, 30, 10, 10, 50, 30, 10, and 10 (corresponding to w7, w6, w5, w4, w3, w2, w1, and w0, respectively).
Page 512: Rate Limit
