Chapter 2 Accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI) This chapter describes how to access the CLI once you have completed the installation, as described in the FORMULA 8200 Installation Guide.
Connecting the Console Connecting the Console The RS232C console port permits you to connect a terminal or local workstation for system management. The console terminal interface is a DB9 (DCE) male connection. Note The console is required to confirm that the switch is configured and operating correctly after installation. Connect a VT-100 terminal or equivalent to the FORMULA 8200 using a 9-pin null-modem RS232 serial cable.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Observing the Power-On Self Test When the FORMULA 8200 is powered on, it automatically runs a power-on self-test (POST) to verify that all components are functioning normally. As POST verifies the basic operation of the switch, it displays a series of messages on the console. A similar screen display appears: Post begins Boot POST in progress... PROM version: 1.0.7 Component tests Sizing DRAM (value displayed is bank size or error code)...
Observing the Power-On Self Test If any error messages are displayed, report them to the Allied Telesyn’s Technical Support (see Allied Telesyn’s website at www.alliedtelesyn.com) or your reseller. The rest of the messages are for your information only; no action is required. Observing the LEDs You can verify proper operation by observing the LEDs. In Figure 2-1, three LEDs are shown as examples.

FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Verifying Firmware Information To ensure that you have the latest information about product features and fixes, verify that the version of any release notes you have received match the version of the firmware installed on the unit. You also need to verify that the Internet protocol information you entered is correct. To display firmware information: Use the SYSTEM/SHOW command. This displays your overall system configuration.
Using Telnet to Access the Switch Using Telnet to Access the Switch In addition to local console access, you can access the switch from a remote location by using Telnet to make a TCP/IP connection. The Telnet command syntax depends on the type of terminal or TCP/ IP software you are using. Check the appropriate manual for information about connecting to a host using Telnet. Telnet requires the FORMULA 8200’s IP address information has been configured.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Resetting and Rebooting the Switch You may occasionally need to reset the FORMULA 8200. You can do this in one of three ways: ❑ The Reset button on the front panel permits you to perform a “hardware reset,” and does not require you to use the command line interface. ❑ The REBOOT command permits you to reset the switch via the command line interface, either from the local console, or from a remote location via Telnet. The current Telnet session is disconnected by this command.
Chapter 3 Configuring the FORMULA 8200 Switch This chapter describes: ❑ System default configurations ❑ An overview of virtual LANs (VLANs) and related parameters, including Spanning Tree (virtual bridges) and virtual routers, and how to configure them Default Configurations The FORMULA 8200 is shipped from the factory with the following default configurations: ❑ Console speed is 9600 ❑ Login is admin and password is switch ❑ Autonegotiation is ON (enabled) for 10/100 Mbps TX ports ❑ Ethernet s
Optimizing Functionality for Your Application Optimizing Functionality for Your Application The FORMULA 8200, unlike shared media switching hubs, allows you to divide your LAN into smaller segments. This increases and uses full LAN bandwidth for each segment. By providing high end devices such as workstations, servers, and routers their own dedicated connections to the switch, you can significantly increase throughput and decrease latency.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide FORMULA 8200 Implementation of VLANs The FORMULA 8200 consists of up to 16 physical network interfaces. In its simplest configuration, all of these network interfaces are grouped together into a single bridged virtual LAN (VLAN). Traffic flowing between end stations on separate LAN segments is switched by a virtual bridge. You may configure up to 16 VLANs. Each FORMULA 8200 has a default VLAN, called VLAN 1 (Figure 3-1). The default VLAN cannot be removed.
Virtual LANs VLAN1 VLAN2 Switch 1 VLAN4 VLAN3 Switch 2 VLAN5 Switch 3 VLAN6 Figure 3-2: Multiple VLANs FORMULA 8200 VLANs are port-based. A port cannot be part of more than one VLAN. That is, if your FORMULA 8200 is configured for 8 ports, the switch can support up to 8 VLANs; if your switch includes an 8-port expansion module, it supports up to 16 VLANs. Use the VLAN/SHOW/VPORT command to see the virtual port information. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on the command.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Virtual Bridges, Virtual Interfaces, Virtual Routers Each VLAN has a virtual bridge that maintains the locations of the end stations on each segment and controls the switching hardware. Each of the interfaces on a virtual bridge is called a virtual interface. Each VLAN is identified by a number. These numbers are global to all FORMULA 8200 switches that are connected by a backbone network.
Virtual LANs Spanning Tree Spanning Tree is a configuration algorithm and protocol that ensures that no data loops exist within a single broadcast domain. For example, Figure 3-3 shows bridges 1 and 2 in a loop; in this configuration without Spanning Tree, the network is unusable.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide In addition to preventing looping, Spanning Tree provides the following functions: ❑ Automatic reconfiguring of the topology in the event of a failure or the addition of a bridge or a bridged port ❑ Topology stability, regardless of the size of the bridged VLAN ❑ Configuration management, by displaying statistics and userspecified bridge and port priorities, parameters, and timers Spanning Tree performs the above functions by exchanging BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) pac
Configuring a Virtual LAN (VLAN) Configuring a Virtual LAN (VLAN) Use this procedure to assign ports to create a VLAN, including a virtual router, if desired. By default, all the ports on your FORMULA 8200 are assigned to VLAN 1. If this configuration suits your needs, use VLAN 1 to define port assignments. Otherwise, create more VLANs to establish user groups and manage network traffic.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide VLAN/CONFIG/MOVPORT to move one or more ports. VLAN/CONFIG/DELPORT to delete one or more ports. You can also use the following commands to change VLAN configuration: VLAN/CONFIG/MODIFY to modify a VLAN. VLAN/CONFIG/REMOVE to remove a VLAN. VLAN/CONFIG/ENABLE to enable the entire VLAN. VLAN/CONFIG/DISABLE to disable the entire VLAN. 4. Proceed to the next series of prompts to enable the IP interface and a virtual router.
Configuring a Virtual LAN (VLAN) To display the configuration of a virtual LAN: Use the VLAN/SHOW/VLAN command. The following is an example configuration display of the previously-created VLAN 2: VLAN/SHOW/VLAN 2 VLAN ID:2 VLAN Description:TEST Router Description:TESTROUTER Network Address:149.35.101.31 Subnetwork Mask:255.255.255.0 Broadcast Address:149.35.101.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Configuring a Virtual Bridge A virtual bridge is created when you create a VLAN. To configure bridge parameters for an existing bridge: 1. Enter the VBRIDGE/CONFIG/BRIDGE command. For example, enter: BRIDGE 1 When you enter this command, a full menu of configurable choices appears, as shown below: /VBRIDGE/CONFIG/BRIDGE 1 Spanning Tree Parameters Modification for VLAN 1: 1) Spanning tree Status is ON for this VLAN, set to OFF? (y/n) 2) New Priority (0..
Configuring a Virtual Bridge To optimize Spanning Tree functionality: 1. Use the VBRIDGE/CONFIG/FILTER command. This command permits you to modify the Static Entry Table by adding or deleting entries. Creating a static entry ensures that the MAC address does not age out. This is recommended for devices that require a permanent connection.

Appendix B RMON Configuration This appendix provides the following information: ❑ A list of supported standard and proprietary MIBs ❑ The sequence followed by Castle Rock’s SNMPc® when compiling MIBs ❑ Sample procedures for enabling and disabling RMON objects This appendix does not provide all the details on SNMP and assumes you are experienced in using SNMP commands to manage your network.
RMON Configuration MIB Support MIBs are classified in two categories: ❑ Standard: These MIBs are developed by a working group of the IETF. The prefix for the OBJECT IDENTIFIER assignments for these MIBs is under management subtree. ❑ Enterprise-specific: Individual products have features not covered by the standard MIBs. Vendors are developing theirown product-specific MIBs under the enterprise subtree.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide Enterprise (proprietary) MIBs: Filename Description ATITC.MIB ati-tc-mib SWVLAN.MIB switch-vlan-mib SWITCH.MIB switch-mib SWVENDOR.MIB switch-info-mib SWCHASIS.MIB switch-chassis-mib SWBRIDGE.MIB switch-bridge-mib SWATM.MIB switch-atm-mib SNMP Management Using Castle Rock’s SNMPc The FORMULA 8200 can be managed by any SNMP manager that supports the Standard and Proprietary MIBs from the Supported MIB list.
RMON Configuration ILMI4.MIB: — atm-forum-mib — atm-forum-addr-reg — atm-forum-srvc-reg — atm-forum-tc-mib switch-atm-mib (included in ILMI4.MIB) RFC 1271 The compile results in three warnings. These warnings will not affect the management of the FORMULA 8200. The Product MIB files can be obtained from Allied Telesyn’s FTP server: Address: ftp.alliedtelesyn.
FORMULA 8200 User’s Guide RMON Support Note Enable RMON only on ports you want to monitor in this instance. Once you are done monitoring, turn off or disable RMON activities to maintain peak switch performance. Enabling RMON Objects The following is an example of enabling the RMON groups Statistics, History, Alarm and Event groups. This example show the setting of a Rising Alarm of Absolute Value that gets logged to the Event Group. The alarm Variable is the object icmpInMsgs.
RMON Configuration Disabling RMON Objects The Statistics, History, Alarm, and Event groups are not disabled by powering down or resetting the switch. Nor are they disabled by the activation of an alarm or event. To disable an active RMON index, use your SNMP management station to set the Status object for each RMON index to invalid. The following examples shows how to disable the active RMON groups activated in the previous example: set etherStatsStatus.
