EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Initial Setup 1. 2. Select any two ports as redundant ports. Connect the redundant ports to form the Turbo Ring The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. Master is only needed to identify which segment acts as the backup path. The actual topology of the redundant ring, i.e., which segment will be blocked, is determined by the number of EDSs that make up the ring and where the “Ring Master” is located.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions When the number of EDS units in the Turbo Ring is odd. Master If there are 2N+1 EDS units (an odd number) in the Turbo Ring, with EDS units and segments labeled counterclockwise, then segment N+1 will serve as the backup path. For the example shown here, N=1, so that N+1=2. Segment N+1 For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to make one BIG redundant ring, since some devices could be located in a remote area.

EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP and the protocol features supported by your EDS. NOTE The protocol is part of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition bridge specification. The following explanation of STP uses bridge instead of switch. What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that allows you to implement parallel paths for network traffic and uses a loop-detection process to: # # Find and disable the less efficient paths (that is, the paths that have a lower bandwidth).
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 If a link failure is detected, as shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 STP determines which path between each bridged segment is the most efficient, and assigns a specific reference point on the network.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions are more likely to be designated as the Root Bridge. The Bridge Identifier is calculated using the MAC address of the bridge and a priority defined for the bridge. The default priority of EDS is 32768. # Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link, usually determined by the bandwidth of the link—the higher the cost, the less efficient the link.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Example The figure below shows a LAN that has STP enabled. The LAN has three segments, and each segment is connected using two possible links. # Bridge A has the lowest Bridge Identifier in the network, and has therefore been selected as the Root Bridge. # Because Bridge A is the Root Bridge, it is also the Designated Bridge for LAN segment 1. Port 1 on Bridge A is therefore selected as the Designated Bridge Port for LAN Segment 1.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions result from link failures. For example, the following figure shows a network containing VLANs 1 and 2. They are connected using the 802.1Q-tagged link between Switch B and Switch C. By default, this link has a port cost of 100 and is automatically blocked because the other Switch-to-Switch connections have a port cost of 36 (18+18).
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions At the top of this page, the user can check the “Current Status” of this function. For RSTP, you will see: Now Active: This field will show which communication protocol is being used—Turbo Ring, RSTP, or neither. Root/Not Root This field will appear only when selected to operate in RSTP mode. It indicates if this EDS is or is not the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically).
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Max. Age (sec.) Setting User adjustable numbers Description If this device is not the root, and it has not received a hello message from the root in an amount of time equal to “Max. Age,” then this device will reconfigure itself as a root. Once two or more devices on the network are recognized as a root, the devices will renegotiate to set up a new Spanning Tree topology.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions These three variables are further restricted by the following two inequalities: [Eq. 4]: 2 * (Hello Time + 1 sec) ≦ Max. Age ≦ 2 * (Forwarding Delay – 1 sec) MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s firmware will alert you immediately if any of these restrictions are violated. For example, setting Hello Time = 5 sec, Max. Age = 20 sec, and Forwarding Delay = 4 sec does not violate Eqs. 1 through 3, but does violate Eq.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual # Featured Functions Differentiated Services (DiffServ)—a layer 3 marking scheme. IEEE 802.1D Traffic Marking The IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition marking scheme, which is an enhancement to IEEE Std 802.1D, enables Quality of Service on the LAN. Traffic service levels are defined in the IEEE 802.1Q 4-byte tag, which is used to carry VLAN identification as well as IEEE 802.1p priority information.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions queue based on the IEEE 802.1p service level value defined in that packet. Service level markings (values) are defined in the IEEE 802.1Q 4-byte tag, and therefore traffic will only contain 802.1p priority markings if the network is configured with VLANs and VLAN tagging. The traffic flow through the switch is as follows: 1. A packet received by the EDS may or may not have an 802.1p tag associated with it. If it does not, then it is given a default 802.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions MOXA EtherDevice Switch supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Weight Fair Strict Description EDS-508 has 4 priority queues. In the weighted fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions CoS Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different CoS values to 4 different egress queues. Factory Default 0: Low 1: Low 2: Normal 3: Normal 4: Medium 5: Medium 6: High 7: High TOS/DiffServ Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different egress queues.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage. The Concept of Virtual LAN (VLAN) What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions specify that the new port is on VLAN Marketing. You do not need to carry out any re-cabling. # VLANs provide extra security: Devices within each VLAN can only communicate with other devices on the same VLAN. If a device on VLAN Marketing needs to communicate with devices on VLAN Finance, the traffic must pass through a routing device or Layer 3 Switch.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions tagged with a VLAN identifier so that the Switches can identify which packets belong in which VLANs. To communicate between VLANs a router must be used. MOXA EtherDevice Switch supports two types of VLAN port setting for your convenient setting about tagged and untagged configurations. # 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.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions # Port 4 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 2; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 2. # Port 5 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 3; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 3. # Port 6 connect a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 5; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 5.
EDS-508 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Port Type Setting Access Trunk Description This port type is used to connect single devices without tag. Select ”Trunk” port type to connect another 802.1Q VLAN aware switch or another LAN that combines tagged and/or untagged devices and/or other switches/hubs.
