  • Page 58: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures in a network and provide protection from loops. Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network. The TN-5500’s STP feature is disabled by default.
  • Page 59 TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of them from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determined that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through Bridges C and A because this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.

  • Page 60: How Stp Works

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions How STP Works When enabled, STP determines the most appropriate path for traffic through a network. The method is described below: STP Requirements Before STP can configure the network, the system must satisfy the following requirements: Communication must be established between all bridges.

  • Page 61: Stp Reconfiguration

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Reconfiguration Once the network topology has stabilized, each bridge listens for “Hello” BPDUs that are transmitted from the Root Bridge at regular intervals. If a bridge does not receive a “Hello” BPDU after a certain interval (the Max Age time), the bridge assumes that the Root Bridge, or a link between itself and the Root Bridge, has gone down.

  • Page 62: Using Stp On A Network With Multiple Vlans

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions Bridge A has been selected as the Root Bridge, since it was determined to have the lowest Bridge Identifier on the network.

  • Page 66: How Traffic Prioritization Works

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions How Traffic Prioritization Works Traffic prioritization uses the four traffic queues that are present in your TN-5500 to ensure that high priority traffic is forwarded on a different queue from lower priority traffic. This is what provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network.

  • Page 67: Traffic Prioritization

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions Advantages of DiffServ over IEEE 802.1D are: Configure how you want your switch to treat selected applications and types of traffic by assigning various grades of network service to them. No extra tags are required in the packet. DSCP uses the IP header of a packet and therefore priority is preserved across the Internet.

  • Page 72: Managing A Vlan

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions VLANs and the ToughNet switch Your TN-5500 provides support for VLANs using IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998. This standard allows traffic from multiple VLANs to be carried across one physical link. The IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 standard allows each port on your TN-5500 to be placed as follows: In a single VLAN defined on the TN-5500.

  • Page 73: Sample Applications Of Vlans Using Tn-5500

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions The TN-5500 supports two types of VLAN port settings: Access Port: The port connects to a single device that is not tagged. The user must define the default port PVID that assigns which VLAN the device belongs to. Once the ingress packet of this Access Port egresses to another Trunk Port (the port needs all packets to carry tag information), TN-5500 will insert this PVID into this packet to help the next 802.1Q VLAN switch recognize it.

  • Page 74: Configuring Virtual Lan

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions After proper configuration: Packets from Device A will travel through Trunk Port 3 with tagged VID 5. Switch B will recognize its VLAN, pass it to port 6, and then remove tags received successfully by Device G, and vice versa.

  • Page 77: Using Multicast Filtering

    TN-5516/5518 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 TN-5500.

  • Page 78: Multicast Filtering

    TN-5516/5518 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

    TN-5516/5518 User’s Manual Featured Functions Multicast Filtering and Moxa’s ToughNet switches The TN-5500 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. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping Mode Snooping Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports.

  • Page 80: Configuring Igmp Snooping
