  • Page 56: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network. Moxa EDS-510A’s STP feature is disabled by default. To be completely effective, you must enable RSTP/STP on every EDS-510A connected to your network.

  • Page 57: What Is Stp

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that is used to implement parallel paths for network traffic. STP uses a loop-detection process to:  Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e., paths that have a lower bandwidth).

  • Page 58: How Stp Works

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions What happens if a link failure is detected? As shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network.
  • Page 59 EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Calculation The first step of the STP process is to perform calculations. During this stage, each bridge on the network transmits BPDUs. The following items will be calculated:  Which bridge should be the Root Bridge. The Root Bridge is the central reference point from which the network is configured.

  • Page 60: Stp Example

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Example The LAN shown in the following figure has three segments, with adjacent segments connected using two possible links. The various STP factors, such as Cost, Root Port, Designated Bridge Port, and Blocked Port are shown in the figure.

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using STP on a Network with Multiple VLANs IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition, does not take into account VLANs when calculating STP information—the calculations only depend on the physical connections. Consequently, some network configurations will result in VLANs being subdivided into a number of isolated sections by the STP system.

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions NOTE The physical network can have a maximum of 64 VLAN settings. Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your EDS-510A.

  • Page 78: Multicast Filtering

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering ensures that only end-stations that have joined certain groups receive multicast traffic. With multicast filtering, network devices only forward multicast traffic to the ports that are connected to registered end-stations. The following two figures illustrate how a network behaves without multicast filtering, and with multicast filtering.

  • Page 79: Igmp Multicast Filtering

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Multicast Filtering and Moxa EtherDevice Switch The EDS-510A has three ways to achieve multicast filtering: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping, GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), and adding a static multicast MAC manually to filter multicast traffic automatically.

  • Page 80: Configuring Igmp Snooping

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) The EDS-510A supports IEEE 802.1D-1998 GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), which differs from IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. GMRP provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to register or de-register Group membership information dynamically.

    For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-510A series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults.

  • Page 85: Using Port Access Control

    EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Port Access Control The EDS-510A provides two kinds of Port-Based Access Controls. One is Static Port Lock and the other is IEEE 802.1X. Static Port Lock The EDS-510A can also be configured to protect static MAC addresses for a specific port. With the Port Lock function, these locked ports will not learn any additional addresses, but only allow traffic from preset static MAC addresses, helping to block crackers and careless usage.
