  • Page 37: The Turbo Ring Concept

    EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions NOTE Port trunking and Turbo Ring can be enabled simultaneously to form a backbone. Doing so will increase the bandwidth of the backbone, and also provide redundancy. For example, suppose that two physical ports, 1 and 2, are trunked to form trunk group Trk1, and then Trk1 is set as one Turbo Ring path, if port 1 gets disconnected, the remaining trunked port, port 2, will share the traffic.

  • Page 50 EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of them from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determines that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through Bridges C and A as this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.

  • Page 51: How Stp Works

    EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP determines which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B.

If it does not, then it is given a default 802.1p tag (which is usually 0). Alternatively, the packet may be marked with a new 802.1p value, which will result in all knowledge of the old 802.1p tag being lost.
  • Page 60 EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The EDS supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 QoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets.

  • Page 61 EDS-405A/408A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions NOTE The designer can enable these classifications individually or in combination. For instance, if a ‘hot’ higher priority port is required for a network design, Inspect TOS and Inspect CoS can be disabled. This setting leaves only port default priority active, which results in all ingress frames being assigned the same priority on that port.
