Digital Energy Multilin Multinet4 Multi-Port Serial Server & Managed Switch Chapter 6: Operational Guide Operational Guide Quality of Service In the Multinet4 Multi-Port Serial Server & Managed Switch products, Quality of Service (QoS) features exist at both layer 2 (Ethernet, frame relay) and layer 3 (IP) and is implemented by a combination of tag analysis/marking and priority queuing.
Page 204: Priority Queues
OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE FIGURE 6–1: QoS Flow Chart 6.1.2 Priority Queues The Multinet4 Multi-Port Serial Server & Managed Switch supports 4 distinct priority queues for each ethernet port. When a packet is received it is assigned one of four internal priority levels. It is then copied to some number of output ports (according to the switch's bridging rules) and placed in the queue that matches its priority level.

If a match is found, the codepoint associated with that filter is applied to the packet. This codepoint overrides any codepoint that was applied by an application (e.g. the DiffServ marking applied by the terminal server process).

CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE RSTP The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) constructs a system linking the elements of a bridged local area network so as to supply redundancy, provide for quick recovery from failure of a segment, and eliminate loops. The protocol can be said to be "spanning" in that it connects all elements in the system and to be a "tree"...

OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE FIGURE 6–2: Port Roles in a Rapid Spanning Tree Network 6.3.1.1 BPDUs The messages exchanged by the bridges are special data frames called Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). The BPDUs contain identifying information and information about the root path cost .
Page 209: Edge Ports And Point-To-Point Links
CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE Table 6–1: RSTP Port Roles Port Role Root: Each bridge (except the root bridge) has a single root port. This is the port with the lowest root path cost (the best way to the root.).
Page 210: Rstp Normal Operation
OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE Learning – The port is receiving BPDUs and is learning MAC addresses but it s not forwarding data frames. Forwarding – The port is sending and receiving all packets. Once the RSTP network is functioning all traffic is by definition handled by the ports in the forwarding state.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration is a technique for segmenting ports on an Ethernet switch into logical groupings. Each logical grouping behaves as if it were a separate physical LAN. A VLAN may also span multiple physical Ethernet switches through the use of frame tagging.

Page 214: Vlans And Serial Ports
OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE Tagged VLANs The software supports tag-based VLAN operation. In this mode each port is either an access (admitting only untagged frames or frames tagged with its PVID) or a trunk (allowing all frames on the configured VLANs). Tags allow VLANs to span multiple physical bridges.
Page 215: Security
CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE Security The following sections briefly describes the security features of Multinet4. 6.5.1 Ethernet Port Security Multinet4 offers the ability to disable Ethernet ports upon access by an unauthorized station. Each port may be placed in either of two different security modes: address locking or link locking.
Page 216: Multinet4 Ssl Version Support
OPERATIONAL GUIDE CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE When an SSL connection is first established, a handshake protocol is executed. The handshake accomplishes the following: • negotiates connection parameters • optionally authenticates the peer • determines a shared master secret If the handshake succeeds, data transferred over the connection is now encrypted using the negotiated encryption algorithm and the shared master secret.

CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE 6.5.3.1 RSA Public Key Cryptography RSA public key cryptography is the most popular of the so-called asymmetric cryptography algorithms. Unlike symmetric cryptography, which uses a single key for encryption and decryption operations, asymmetric cryptography uses a pair of keys. One of the keys is published and well-known while the other is private and is known only to its owner.
