You can add more capacity simply by adding more switch elements. By comparison, shared memory switches have an inherent maximum upper boundary in throughput that makes high-density, single-backplane gigabit switches impractical.
Chapter 1 P880/P882 Chassis The P880/P882 Chassis consists of: ■ Slots Seventeen slots (1 slot for the supervisor module and sixteen payload slots for media modules) ■ Fan Tray ■ Increased port density ■ Up to three power supplies ■ A 33x33 crossbar switch fabric The P880/P882 chassis consists of seventeen slots. Slot 1 is dedicated for a supervisor module and the remaining sixteen of which are payload slots. In 50-series mode, the P880/P882 Chassis can only support up to 15 payload slots.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch ■ Up to 128 gigabit-speed Ethernet ports Fan Tray There are two fan assemblies in the chassis. One fan assembly is located on the left side of the chassis to provide air flow to the media modules installed. The other fan assembly is located in the rear of the chassis to provide air flow to the switch fabric. Both fan assemblies are hot-swappable and field replaceable.
Chapter 1 ■ ■ ■ Under-subscribed switching fabric in most configurations (two connections per I/O module slot, plus one for the supervisor module). Single copy replication - Input frames destined for output multiple switch ports pass through the crossbar only once and are copied by the crossbar to each destination.

Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Redundant Supervisor The redundant supervisor module is an auxiliary (standby) supervisor module that acts as a fault-tolerant supervisor in the event that your active supervisor fails. The redundant supervisor provides a seamless solution to switch failure. Once the redundant supervisor is installed, loaded with the same software version as the active supervisor, and synchronized, it is ready to act as a backup to the active supervisor.
Chapter 1 the supervisor module from slot 2 and restart your switch. There is no need to upgrade the firmware if you are not running redundant supervisors. * Note: ■ 16 MB of memory is required on layer 2 supervisor modules.

It also has two switch ports to the backplane that provide more than two Gb per second bidirectional data traffic to the switch. There are four GBICs per port each capable of one Gb per second.
Chapter 1 ■ Load MIB ■ Spanning Tree Modes ■ Buffer and Queue Management Virtual Bridging Functions All three switches are designed to support: ■ ■ ■ Up to 24,000 MAC addresses in the switch address forwarding table — allows the switch to store forwarding information for hosts in very large networks. Segmented address tables qualified by address and VLAN membership — allows the same host to appear on different VLANs on different ports.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Figure 1-3. Flooding Domain Registration Function Policies Virtual Bridging Function Frame Classification Function Port Hunt Groups Hunt groups allow you to aggregate bandwidth from multiple ports so they act as one high-bandwidth switch port. Hunt groups create multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic areas of your network.
Chapter 1 ■ ■ ■ Frame encapsulation — Identifies frame VLAN via tag — Associates frame priority Multiple tagging formats — IEEE pre-standard format based on 802.1Q draft document — A major vendor’s multi-level tagging scheme — 3Com VLAN Tag & PACE priority signalling Translation to and from any format. A packet can enter the switch with a 3Com SuperStack II VLAN tag and exit the switch as a multi-layer tagged packet.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch ■ ■ ■ ■ When DNS is enabled, DNS names can be used in place of IP addresses for ping, telnet, connect, and traceroute and copy tftp CLI commands The DNS client name can consist of up to 255 characters A single label within a DNS client name can consist of 63 characters The time to live (TTL) value in a DNS resource record is 24 days.
Chapter 1 This command sets the state of an OSPF interface that is configured as a passive-interface to normal. You can also set OSPF passive-interface from the switch Web Agent. The Interface-State field on the OSPF Interface web page can be set to Passive, which disables the sending of OSPF routing updates, or Normal, which enables the sending of OSPF routing updates (default). Load MIB The switch Load MIB defines upload, download and copy of application software and configuration information.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Spanning Tree Protocol Bridge Options All three switches support the following four Spanning Tree Protocol options: ■ IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree ■ Per-VLAN Spanning Tree ■ Dual-Layer Spanning Tree (Figure 1-4) ■ Global Disable Figure 1-4. Spanning Tree Models Single 802.
Chapter 1 PER VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol Option Per-VLAN mode is the Default Spanning Tree setting on all three switches. In this mode, the switch runs a separate spanning process for each VLAN. Each logical Spanning Tree has its owns Per-VLAN BPDU's which are tagged with the appropriate VLAN Identifier(s). Under this mode, the switch can participate in as many Spanning Tree Domains as there are VLANs defined on the switch.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Dual-Layer Spanning Tree Protocol Option Dual-Layer spanning tree mode is a variation of per-VLAN spanning tree mode with many of the same features. However, instead of using normal BPDUs, which are clear (free of VLAN tags) on clear links and tagged on tagged links, as is the case with Per-VLAN Spanning Tree mode, dual-layer uses a proprietary BPDU.
Chapter 1 Global Disable You can globally disable Spanning Tree on all three switches, thus preventing any switch port from participating in Spanning Tree. This is only recommended in a very controlled environment where there is no possibility of a loop being placed in the network. PORT SETTINGS You can use the “Bridge Ports” option to adjust link costs and priorities per IEEE802.1D. You can also disable Spanning Tree per-port via this option. If you disable Spanning Tree per port, IEEE802.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Extensive Fault Tolerance All three switches are designed to function as backbone switches. You can install each switch in your network’s core without creating a single point of failure. Extensive fault tolerance features include: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ N+1 power. Power supplies share the power supply load. If one fails, the remaining supplie(s) assume the load automatically and the switch management system warns you of the failure.
Chapter 1 ■ ■ Two CoS priority queues that provide flexible queue management algorithms to meet application requirements. Large buffer space: — 512KB per gigabit port. — 128KB additional for outbound 10/100 ports. • Configurable queue depth for each of two prioritized packet queues. • Configurable priority threshold. • Configurable service ratio tunes queue priority. Routing Overview All three switches can be configured as an IP, IPX ,and AppleTalk router with virtual interfaces.
Introduction to the Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Switch Routing with Layer 2 and Layer 3 Modules When a switch is configured with a mix of layer 2 and layer 3 modules, IP and IPX routing is performed by the layer 3 media modules or the layer 3 supervisor module using special ASICs present on those modules. These ASICs contain an address cache (forwarding table) that can contain a maximum of 20,000 cache entries.
Chapter 1 Figure 1-5 shows how traffic is routed in a switch. Figure 1-5.

4 Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping Overview The following information and procedures provided in this chapter pertain to layer 2 and layer 3 module configurations: ■ VLAN Operation ■ Creating and Implementing VLANs ■ Using Spanning Tree Setup and Monitoring ■ ■ Using Hunt Groups to Aggregate Bandwidth between Switches Configuring VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) Snooping VLAN Operation VLAN operation is based on three sets of rules: ■ Ingress Rules ■ Forwarding Rules ■ Egre
Chapter 4 Ingress Rules Every frame received by the switch is classified to one VLAN. There are two ways in which frames are classified to VLANs: ■ ■ Untagged frames are classified to the VLAN associated with the port on which the frame is received (Port-based VLANs). Tagged frames are classified to the VLAN identified by the VLAN tag in the tag header of the frame. *Note: The switch supports a feature called Automatic VLAN Creation for tagged frames.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping Egress Rules For a given port/VLAN combination, egress rules determine whether frames transmitted from the port on the VLAN are tagged or untagged. This is accomplished by setting the Trunking Mode attribute in the Switch Port Configuration dialog box. For example, choosing the IEEE 802.1Q trunk mode causes all frames transmitted out of the port to be tagged using the IEEE 802.1Q tag header format.
Chapter 4 ■ ■ If you are using both the VLAN auto-learning feature and the Binding Type Bind to Received, make sure that you set the binding type before you set Autolearn to enable or else the port may not be automatically added to the VLAN VLAN #4095 is for internal use only and cannot be configured by the user.

Chapter 4 Using Hunt Groups to Aggregate Bandwidth between Switches Hunt groups allow you to aggregate multiple switch ports into a single group, effectively combining the bandwidth into a single connection. For example, if you connect three gigabit ports each on a pair of switches into a hunt group, the aggregated connection will have six gigabits of available bandwidth (full- duplex). Hunt groups also provide fault tolerance.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping How Hunt Groups Load Share Hunt Groups load share by allowing different users to use different ports on the hunt group when sending traffic to a particular user. Broadcasts and Destination Unknown Unicasts traverse the flood port (also referred to as the base port). To understand how load sharing works with the hardware, one must understand the relationship between users, I/O cards, Fabric Ports and Packet Lookup Engines (PLEs).
Chapter 4 Figure 4-13 shows an example of a Hunt group load share. Figure 4-13. Load Sharing Example A B C D 1 L3 CPU PLE#1, PLE#2 3 4 L3 CPU empty 12 port 10/100 2 empty PLE#3, PLE#4 12 port 10/100 empty empty empty empty empty 4 Port Gig 4 Port Gig PLE#5 PLE#6 empty PLE#1:1,2,3,4; PLE#3 1,2,3,4 PLE#2:1,2,3,4; PLE#4 1,2,3,4 Hunt Group The first two users on each switch are connected to one of the ports in the 1 through 10 range on the 20 port 10/100 card.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping Figure Figure 4-14 illustrates how the P550 distributes it PLEs to load-share hunt group traffic. Figure 4-14. Load Sharing PLEs Hunt Group L2 CPU L2 CPU E-PLE#5 2 Port Gig PLE#1 2 Port Gig PLE#2 20 port 10/100 PLE#3 PLE#4 20 port 10/100 20 port 10/100 PLE#5 PLE#6 20 port 10/100 2 Port Gig 2 Port Gig E-PLE#6 empty empty empty empty A B C D E F G H The P550 uses its distributed PLEs to load-share hunt group traffic.
Chapter 4 There are six Non-Member PLEs (the 12 port is associated with a single fabric port but has two PLEs – one in the routing path and one before the routing path, and the 4 port has a PLE per port). Load sharing is now accomplished by Destination MAC Address and Source PLE. When Mac Address 1 is learned, it is assigned to the first Hunt Group link for PLE#1, the second for PLE#2, the first for PLE#3, the second for PLE#4, the first for PLE#5 and the second for PLE#6.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping Hunt Group Considerations Consider the following before creating hunt groups: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ When creating a hunt group, you have to verify that the ports in a group on one switch are physically connected to the ports in that group on the other switch. The switches do not yet have a link discovery protocol. If one end of a connection is in a hunt group, the other end of the connection should also be in a hunt group.

5 Configuring Port Parameters Overview The following information and procedures are provided in this chapter and are common to both layer 2 and layer 3 module configuration: ■ Configuring Port Parameters ■ Physical Port Features ■ Switch Port Features ■ Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Gigabit Ports ■ Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Fast Ethernet Ports ■ Using the All Ports Configuration Window ■ Viewing Switch Port Parameters ■ Configuring Switch Port Parameters ■ Configur
Chapter 5 Physical Port Features This section describes the following features that are available when configuring the physical parameters on the ports: Autonegotiation ■ Autonegotiation ■ Flow Control Autonegotiation is an extension of the link test methods used by 10Base-T and 10Base-FL to verify the integrity of the link between devices.
Configuring Port Parameters Auto-negotiation attempts to find the greatest common denominator for the two devices on the link in the following order of preference: 1. 100Base-TX full-duplex 2. 100Base-T4 3. 100Base-TX 4. 10Base-T full-duplex 5. 10Base-T half-duplex Once the greatest common denominator of settings is determined, each device equipped with auto-negotiation will configure itself automatically.
Chapter 5 With Gigabit links, you can: ■ ■ ■ Enable IEEE802.3X for both send and receive (the “Enable” setting) Only send pause (XOFF/XON) signals (the “Enable – Send Only” option) Only respond to the pause signals (the “Enable – Respond Only” option). With 10/100 links you can use the "Enable with Aggressive Backoff" option to enable Active Backpressure (creation of a collision) on a link. Active Backpressure only applies to HD links so that when a 10/100 link is in FD, options 2 and 3 are identical.
Configuring Port Parameters Flow control is not applied across the switch itself. Therefore, if you have a server sending data on one port at 100MB and a client receiving the data at 10MB, the switch will not throttle the data at the Server’s input based on outgoing buffer backup on the client’s port in this default queuing mode. Switch Port Features The P550/P880/P882 switches all support up to 1024 VLANs and also supports multiple forwarding databases.
Chapter 5 Automatic VLAN Creation Automatic VLAN creation is done by enabling the ‘Automatic VLAN Creation’ parameter on an individual port under the ‘Module & Ports’ menu. With this parameter enabled, the port will automatically create a VLAN each time it receives a frame from an unknown VLAN ID in received IEEE 802.1Q and Multi-Layer tagged frames. * Note: The automatic VLAN creation feature does not create entries in 3Com Mapping Tables.
Configuring Port Parameters Automatic Binding of VLANs to Ports When a VLAN is either manually or automatically created, the software may automatically bind the VLAN to a port depending on the setting of the ‘Trunk Mode’ parameter assigned to the port. ■ ■ When a VLAN is created manually the software assigns the VLAN to all ports whose ‘Trunk Mode’ is set to ‘Bind-to-All’. No other ports will automatically be assigned when a VLAN is created manually.
Chapter 5 Forwarding Rules These rules determine the set of ports on the switch through which members of the VLAN can be reached. This is called binding a port to a VLAN. A port may be bound to a VLAN using the following four methods: ■ ■ ■ ■ Egress Rules 5-8 Setting the Port VLAN attribute in the Switch Port Configuration web page. This identifies the VLAN to which all untagged frames received on the port are classified. Note that a port has exactly one Port VLAN.
Configuring Port Parameters Relationship Between Different Switch Port Parameters Refer to Table 5-3 the relationship between Port VLAN / Trunk Mode / VLAN Binding parameters can be summarized in the following table using the VLAN Operational Rules. Table 5-3. Relationship Between Switch Parameters VLAN Binding Trunk Mode Description Static Clear Ingress: Untagged frames are classified to the VLAN associated with the port on which the frame is received.
Chapter 5 Table 5-3. Relationship Between Switch Parameters continued VLAN Binding Trunk Mode Description Bind to All 802.1Q Ingress: Untagged frames are classified to the VLAN associated with the port on which the frame is received. Tagged frames are classified to the VLAN identified by the VLAN tag in the tag header of the frame. Multilayer Note: For 802.
Configuring Port Parameters Table 5-3. Relationship Between Switch Parameters continued VLAN Binding Trunk Mode Description Bind to Received 802.1Q Ingress: Untagged frames are classified to the VLAN associated with the port on which the frame is received. Tagged frames are classified to the VLAN identified by the VLAN tag in the tag header of the frame.** Multilayer Note: For 802.
Chapter 5 Assigning VLANs to a Port and Associated Issues There are two ways to assign VLANs to ports on the P550/P880/ P882 switch. The first, and recommended way, is to assign the VLAN to a port under the ‘Module & Ports / Switch Ports’ menu on the web agent. You configure the ‘Port VLAN’ to the VLAN desired for the individual port (or entire module if configuring that way).
Configuring Port Parameters The following is an example of this problem.

Chapter 5 Table 5-4. Detailed Physical Port Dialog Box Parameters continued Parameter Definition Flow Control Mode Setting this field determines if the IEEE 802.3z pause control is to be used on this port. The pause mechanism allows the port to stop a sending station from sending more packets if the receiving port’s buffers are full. This helps prevent lost or dropped packets. This feature is recommended for use primarily on end station connections.

Chapter 6 In the normal case, a hash table's utilization starts very high, and then begins to decrease as more entries are added. The Utilization Threshold is the point at which, if Hash Table Auto-Incrementing is enabled, the hash table will increment its size automatically. Therefore if it is set to 40%, then say the utilization starts dropping down from 100%, when it reaches 40%, then it will auto-increment its size. However, there is one more catch: the Trigger. The Trigger is a multiplier.

Chapter 9 Configuring Access Lists Access Control Lists, also referred to as Access Lists, contain rules that forward or deny data to and through the switch. By configuring Access Lists, you can: ■ ■ Prioritize the transmission of frames within the switch. Filter out specific or general network transmissions (for example, all traffic from a particular subnet to the switch). When you create an Access List, you create a series of rules that describe how data is forwarded or filtered within the switch.

16 Managing Intelligent Multicasting Overview The following information and procedures provided in this chapter pertain to layer 2 and layer 3 module configurations: ■ Introduction ■ Configuring Global Intelligent Multicasting ■ Displaying Router Ports ■ Configuring Static Router Ports ■ Searching for Intelligent Multicast Sessions ■ Creating a Static Multicast Session ■ ■ ■ ■ Configuring Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping (Multilayer only) Configuring the Lucent Group Mana
Chapter 16 A client port is a port with an attached host configured to receive a multicast session. Router ports are ports that are attached to (or in the path to) multicast routers and must be treated specially. All multicast traffic on a VLAN must be forwarded to the router. You can manually create and delete multicast sessions through the user configuration. The addition of client and router ports can also be performed manually.
Managing Intelligent Multicasting IGMP Snooping IGMP snooping is only supported in layer 3. As IGMP reports are received by the switch, IGMP sessions are created. Intelligent multicast sessions are created and the ports on which these reports are received are added to the appropriate sessions. When the IGMP session is terminated, the associated intelligent multicast session is deleted. * Note: IGMP snooping is only available for VLANs that have an IGMP interface enabled.
Chapter 16 Pruning Dynamic Sessions, Client Ports, and Router Ports Normally, dynamically created multicast sessions are removed by the application (for example, IGMP Snooping, LGMP, or CGMP Snooping) that created the session when the session is no longer active. You can also enable Automatic Session Pruning so that if a session has not been active for Session Pruning Time, it is automatically removed.

Analyzing Network Performance Using RMON and Ethernet Statistics Table 19-1. Ethernet Interface Statistics Dialog Box Fields continued Statistic Indicates Actions Jabbers Jabbers indicate that devices on the networks are sending improper electrical signals. Because Ethernet uses electrical signalling to determine whether or not it is okay to transmit, a jabber condition can halt all traffic on a segment.
Chapter 19 Setting Up a Mirror Port Configuring an RMON mirror port allows you to mirror traffic from a port or set of ports to a specific mirror port, where you can attach a sniffer or RMON probe. The switch supports a single mirror port and a single source port for each switch fabric port. For example, 20-port Fast Ethernet cards have two fabric ports (one for ports 1 through 10, one for ports 11 through 20).

20 Tuning Your Switch Performance Overview The following information and procedures provided in this chapter pertain to layer 2 and layer 3 module configurations. Buffer management features help you to optimize traffic throughput through the switch fabric. This chapter provides the following information: ■ How Queues Work ■ Managing Buffers and Queues How Queues Work Frames are buffered in the I/O modules, before and after traversing the switch. Each queue can hold 256K bytes.
Chapter 20 The Service Ratio can be chosen to match traffic patterns and performance requirements using a weighted round robin scheduling algorithm. The available service ratios of the algorithm are defined in “Managing Buffers and Queues”. The factory default service ratio for fabric ports is 999/1. The factory default service ratio for physical ports is 1023 to 1.
