6. CONFIGURING THE TTE-SWITCH LAB SPACE
• deviceTargets
This attribute specifies the name of the device target. For TTE-Tools 5.3 and below, use
TTE_ES_Controller_Space_ASIC. For TTE-Tools x.x, use TTE_Switch_Lab_Space_Internal_ES.
• hostInterface
The attribute HOST.0 specifies the host port and the attribute address of element <macInterface>
specifies the MAC address of the internal end system.
6.1.1.3 Configuring Best-Effort Routes
If a management service such as ARP support (ICMP ping) and diagnostics via SNMP shall be available,
this has to be correctly defined and configured. For this purpose, broadcast best-effort routes from each
switch port to the management port have to be defined in the network description XML. These broadcast
best-effort routes are necessary to have the switch accept the messages and handle them accordingly.
The following section describes how these broadcasting routes are defined.
These best-effort route configurations consist of two parts:
In the first part, a BE broadcast route from the internal end system port (swlp_sw0_0_P0) to all switch ports
(P1, P1, ...,P1) needs to be created as follows:
 
1 <bestEffortRoute destinationMacAddress ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
addrMask ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF" srcPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/
@port[ name='swlsp_sw0_0_P0 ']"
dstPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_P1 ']
// @device [name='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[ name ='swlsp_sw0_P2 ']
// @device [name='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[ name ='swlsp_sw0_P3 ']"/>
2
3 <bestEffortRoute destinationMacAddress ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
addrMask ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF" srcPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/
@port[ name='swlsp_sw0_0_P0 ']"
dstPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_P4 ']
// @device [name='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[ name ='swlsp_sw0_P5 ']
// @device [name='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[ name ='swlsp_sw0_P6 ']"/>

Listing 3: First part of the BE route configuration
• destinationMacAddress
Set the attribute destinationMacAddress to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF to define a broadcast route.
• addrMask
Set the attribute addrMask FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF to define a broadcast route.
• srcPorts
This concerns the source physical port of the route, swlsp_sw0_0_P0.
• dstPorts
This concerns the destination physical port of the route, all physical ports.
In the second part of the best-effort route configuration, it is necessary to define routes from every physical
port of the switch that is a source to the swlsp_sw0_0_P0 destination as follows:
 
1 <bestEffortRoute destinationMacAddress ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
addrMask ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
srcPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_P1 ']"
dstPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_0_P0 ']"/>
2
3 <bestEffortRoute destinationMacAddress ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
addrMask ="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
srcPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_P2 ']"
dstPorts ="// @device[ name ='swlsp_sw0_0 ']/ @port[name='swlsp_sw0_0_P0 ']"/>
