Cajun P550 Switch Overview Crossbar Switch Fabric The crossbar switch matrix provides low latency, high throughput packet switching using a crossbar architecture (Figure 1-3). Figure 1-3. Crossbar Architecture Port 1 1.76 Gb/s 22.88 Gb/s Port 2 Port 1 1.76 Gb/s Port 2 Crossbar Port 13 Port 13 Crossbars are more scalable than shared memory architectures. Architecturally, you can add more capacity simply by adding more switch elements.
Cajun P550 Switch Overview Cajun Routing Overview The Cajun switch is an IP and IPX router with virtual interfaces. Virtual interfaces are mapped to physical ports or VLANs. Layer 3 IP traffic is routed between the virtual interfaces. Ports become members of VLANs by assignment or by rules. Multiple VLANs can share a single trunk port. In contrast, multiple physical ports can be associated with a single VLAN. In all cases, traffic that arrives and leaves the same VLAN is bridged, not routed.
Cajun P550 Switch Overview Consequently, when you connect a Cajun switch to the network, it begins to receive frames from the network and builds a master routing table in the supervisor module and forwarding tables in each media module based on those frames.
Cajun P550 Switch Overview ❒ Optional per-VLAN spanning tree - This isolates loop control to smaller domains, so spanning trees converge faster after a topology change. Otherwise, packets are forwarded to the port’s default VLAN. VLAN Functions A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a logical group of hosts on a local area network (LAN) that communicate as if they were on the same wire, even though they are physically on different LAN segments throughout a site.

The concept used is borrowed from the world of telephony, where incoming calls to a single phone number are routed to the first available line.
Cajun P550 Switch Overview OpenTrunk Technology OpenTrunk technology translates VLAN-tagged frames from one format to another (including CoS). The switch is delivered as a plug-and-play IEEE 802.1D standard bridge, but supports several VLAN tagging schemes. This makes the switch highly interoperable in existing networks because: ❒ Any port can be a trunk port. ❒ Ports have configurable VLAN tagging on a per-port basis.

Cajun P550 Switch Overview Buffer and Queue Management Adding gigabit speeds to existing networks means that there can be a huge disparity between link speeds. For example, anything more than a 1% load on a gigabit link could easily overwhelm a 10 Mb/s Ethernet link. Without queue and buffer management, gigabit links might only move congestion in a network, rather than relieving it.

Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) 5. Use Table 12-1 to configure the VLAN parameters: Table 12-1. VLAN Parameters Parameter Definition Name Name assigned to this VLAN. ID Identifier used throughout the network to identify this VLAN. If you want ports on more than one device to participate in a particular VLAN, you must use the same VLAN ID to identify the VLAN on every device.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Table 12-2. VLAN Switch Port Table Parameters (Continued) Parameter Binding Type Defines... • Static - when ports are added manually and can be removed. • Persistent - when ports are bound to VLANs automatically but can not be removed. • Dynamic - when port is assigned to VLAN using automatic VLAN binding, which causes ports to bind to VLANs using the Bind to Received switch port setting and can be removed.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) 6. Use the corresponding pull-down menus to assign a Lucent VLAN ID association to each of the 16 available 3Com VLAN IDs. 7. In the Name column, click on VLAN. 8. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings. Note: The mapping instructions in the table called Default are fixed and cannot be changed. To actually map VLAN IDs, you must create new 3Com Mapping tables.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Spanning Tree Bridge Options The three spanning tree options are: ❒ If you use the default 802.1D spanning tree option, the entire switch is a bridge, for which spanning tree parameters can be set. Every port, regardless of VLAN membership, is part of the same spanning tree. The implication is that after resolving the spanning tree topology, only one trunk will be active, and all others will be blocked.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Table 12-3. Spanning Tree Options Parameter Definition IEEE 802.1D Entire switch is a single IEEE 802.1D-compliant bridge. Note: When the spanning tree mode is set to IEEE 802.D, BPDUs are sent out ports in Clear (non-trunked) format even if the port has a trunking format (3Com, 802.1Q or Dual Layer) defined. Per VLAN Each VLAN functions as a separate IEEE 802.1D-compliant bridge.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Table 12-4. Bridge-Level Parameters (Continued) Parameter Definition Bridge Forward Delay Amount of delay used when a port transitions to the forwarding state. Set by the root bridge for the segment. Note: You must enter a value within the supported range or the configuration operation will fail. The supported value range for this parameter is 10-30. Max Age Current maximum age for this spanning tree. Determined by the root bridge.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Table 12-5. Spanning Tree Bridge Port Parameters (Continued) State Current bridging state of the port. The options are: • Disabled - The port is disabled. • Blocking - The Spanning Tree algorithm has set this port’s state to block, meaning that it is enabled, but not passing traffic. • Listening - The port is in a transitional state, waiting for the spanning tree algorithm to determine whether it should block or forward traffic.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Table 12-6. Spanning Tree Bridge Port Information Parameters (Continued) Parameter Definition Path Cost Sets the spanning tree path cost for this port. The ports that you prefer be used by the spanning tree should have the lowest path cost. Note: Configuring the path cost for a link when the link is in the down state is not saved in the configuration NV memory. Establish the link first, before configuring the path cost. Top.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) Hunt groups also provide fault tolerance. If a port in a hunt group fails, the remaining ports will continue forwarding the traffic on the link. Hunt Group Considerations Considerations before creating hunt groups include: ❒ The switches do not yet have a link discovery protocol. 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.
Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3) 4. For the selected port, click Enable to disable the port. The selection is removed and the port is disabled.

In the Ports column, click on the port number. The Physical Port Configuration dialog box opens. 3.
13 Tuning Your Switch Performance (Layer 2 & Layer 3) Overview This chapter and its procedures are common to both Layer 2 and Layer 3 configuration. Buffer management features help you to optimize traffic throughput through the switch fabric. Included in this chapter: ❒ 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. (Architecturally they can support up to 1 MB each).
Tuning Your Switch Performance (Layer 2 & Layer 3) When the high-priority queue fills up, incoming frames are dropped. The philosophy is if a high-priority frame is going to be late, it is not worth sending it at all. The normal-priority queue uses either IEEE 802.3X PAUSE (variable timed XOFF) flow control or Half Duplex collisions to shut off incoming frames before the queue overflows. The switch implements two flow control disciplines along the entire path that frames travel.
Tuning Your Switch Performance (Layer 2 & Layer 3) Table 13-1. Buffer Management Parameters Parameter Definition Fabric Port Buffers Displays the port’s fabric port buffers and allows you to open the Buffer Detail Configuration dialog box for the selected module. Service ratios: • 3 to 1 • 99 to 1 • 999 to 1 • 9999 to 1 Physical Port Buffers Displays the port’s physical port buffers if available.
Tuning Your Switch Performance (Layer 2 & Layer 3) Table 13-2. Buffer Detailed Configuration Parameters (Continued) Parameter Definition High Priority Allocation Percent of the buffer’s queueing space allotted to high priority traffic. Because the high-priority queue is serviced more frequently than the normal priority queue, raising this value may not necessarily provide better service.
