2.3 Basic Network For Configuration


Following describes the basic ADSL network and how to configure it. The majority of
configurations described throughout this guide assume that you have setup your device to act as a
DSLAM. Consider the network below:


























Figure 2-6: Basic Ethernet network

In this example, the hardware connections are as follows:
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration
14
the device is configured via the HyperTerminal PC attached to the serial port.
the Internet is attached to the devices 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet port.
the PC A is attached to the devices DSL port via ADSL modem.

Once you have booted the device, its configuration can be changed interactively:

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is supported by the Versatile Management
Interface (VMI) and is the priority configuration method described throughout this guide.
Using the ISOS Embedded Webserver (EmWeb).



Chapter 3 Configuring the IP Stack
15
3 ConfiguringtheIPStack

This chapter provides an introduction on how to setup IP stack.

The IP stack contains a suite of networking routing protocols for use in embedded networking. It
allows you to configure basic connectivity for your network to provide IP routing between interfaces
and support local applications such as Telnet, Webserver and alike.

3.1 Supported protocols and features
3.1.1 CreatingIPinterfaces

You must attach one or more interfaces to the IP stack and attach a transport to it. For IP
interfaces, each interface must be configured with an IP address and a subnet mask. Together,
these define the range of addresses which can be reached via the interface without passing through
any other routers.

Each interface must have a unique subnet; the range of addresses on each interface must not
overlap with any other interface.
To create an IP interface, enter:

ip add interface <name> [<ipaddress> [<subnetmask>]]

You do not have to specify the IP address and subnet mask of an interface on creation.

A transport is attached to an IP interface using the command:


ip attach <name> <transport>

For example, create an IP interface first:

ip add interface iplan 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Then, create a transport. Details of how to create and configure transports are described
elsewhere in this guide. In the example below, an Ethernet transport is created:

ethernet add transport ethernet0 ethernet0

Attach the transport to the interface:

ip attach iplan ethernet0


NOTE:
ethernet0 is the default Ethernet port name on the
DSLAM5008,DSLAM5012,DSLAM5016,DSLAM5024.

Chapter 3 Configuring the IP Stack

3.1.2 Displayinginformationaboutinterfaces

To list details about all existing IP interfaces, enter:

ip list interfaces

I P I nt er f aces:
I D | Name | I P Addr ess | DHCP | Tr anspor t
- - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In this example, the iplan interface is your default LAN connection over Ethernet

To list details about a specific interface, enter:

ip show interface <name>

For example:

ip show interface iplan

I P I nt er f ace: i pl an
I paddr : 192. 168. 1. 32

Sour ce Addr Val i dat i on : f al se
Accept V1 : f al se
Send V1 : f al se
Accept V2 : f al se
Send V2 : f al se
Send Mul t i cast : f al se

3.1.3 Creatingvirtualinterfaces

You can use a single port to transport data to multiple IP interfaces by creating a virtual interface.
Once an interface has been configured, you can create and attach a virtual interface to the real
interface. To create a virtual interface, use the ip add interface command, for example:

ip add interface my_virtual 172.15.1.1

Attach the virtual interface to the existing LAN interface using the command:

ip attachvirtual <virtual_interface> <real_interface>

For example:

ip attachvirtual my_virtual iplan
Chapter 3 Configuring the IP Stack
17

The virtual interface uses the transport and port configuration already attached to the real
interface. At the ip list interfaces table, the Transport name of the virtual interface is displayed as
[real_interface].

3.1.4 DeletingIPinterfaces

To delete a single IP interface, enter:

ip delete interface <name>

To delete all existing interfaces, enter:

ip clear interfaces


3.1.5 SettingIPinterfaceaddresses

To manually set the IP address of an existing interface, use the command:

ip set interface <name> ipaddress <address> [<netmask>]

If a netmask is not specified, the natural subnet mask for the IP address is used.

For example, the following command sets the existing IP address for the existing iplan interface to
192.168.50.1:

ip set interface iplan ipaddress 192.168.50.1


3.1.6 Attachingthebridge

You can attach the bridge to the router, allowing transports that are attached to the bridge to route
through the IP stack. Enter:

ip attachbridge <name>

The <name> value is the name of the IP interface that you want to attach the bridge to, for example:

ip attachbridge iplan


To send/receive traffic for a particular VLAN on an IP interface, enter:

ip interface <ip interface> attachbridgevlan <bridge vlan transport>

For example:

ip interface iplan attachbridgevlan vt1


Chapter 3 Configuring the IP Stack
18
3.1.7 Configuringroutes

You can manually create a static route to ensure packets are forwarded to their correct destination.
The route specifies a destination network (or single host), together with a mask to indicate what
range of addresses the network covers, and a next-hop gateway address or interface. If there is a
choice of routes for a destination, the route with the most specific mask is chosen.
Routes can be created by using the command:

ip add route <name> <dest_ip> <netmask> {gateway <gateway_ip> | interface
<interface>}


To route to a destination which is not on any local network, a route may be added via a gateway
(i.e., another router). The gateway IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the routers
interfaces. For example, to ensure packets destined for the 10.0.0.0 subnet are routed via local
gateway address 192.168.3.2, enter:

ip add route route_gateway 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.3.2

The interface name can be specified instead of a gateway IP address. This can be useful if the
gateway IP address or interface IP address is unknown at the time the route is added. For example,
to forward packets via local interface ip_interface, enter:

ip add route route_interface 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 interface ip_interface

When a system has one LAN interface and one WAN interface, it is very common for only one route
to be needed - a default route. This default route would forward all packets whose destination was
unknown to a gateway router reached via the WAN interface. You can only create one default route.
To create a default route, use the command:

ip add defaultroute {gateway <gateway_ip> | interface <interface>}

For example, to create a default route via the gateway used in the earlier example, enter:

ip add defaultroute gateway 192.168.3.2

To create a default route via the interface used in the earlier example, enter:

ip add defaultroute interface ip_interface

Figure 3-1: Basic router network configuration

The IP interfaces are connected as follows:

the PC C is connected to the Network C subnet via the ethenet port using an
Ethernet transport
the PC B is connected to the Network B subnet via DSL port a0 using a RFC1483 transport
the PC A is connected to the Network B subnet via DSL port a1 using a RFC1483 transport

Clear your current default configuration:

system config clear


system config save



system restart

Create a Network A interface:

ip add interface iplanA 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

Create Network B interface:

Chapter 3 Configuring the IP Stack
20

ip add interface iplanB 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.255

Create a Network C interface:

ip add interface iplanC 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Create transports for each of the IP interfaces:

ethernet add transport eth0 ethernet0


rfc1483 add wb0 a0 0 35


rfc1483 add wb1 a1 0 35

Attach the transports to their respective IP interfaces:

ip attach iplanA wb1


ip attach iplanB wb0


ip attach iplanC eth0

Check your interface configuration using the ip list interfaces command.
Add router:

ip add route lanC 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 interface iplanC


ip add route lanB 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0 interface iplanB



ip add route lanA 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 interface iplanA

4 Configuring the Bridge


This chapter describes how to configure the D-bridge (802.1D Bridge) and the Q-bridge (802.1Q
Bridge).

4.1 Introduction


The DSLAM bridge operates in either the D-bridge mode or the Q-bridge mode. The Q-bridge
(802.1Q bridge) is an extension to the 802.1D bridge (D-bridge). As specified in IEEE Standard
802.1Q-1998 and IEEE Standard 802.1D-1998, the principle elements of Bridge operation are:

reception, filtering and transmission of frames between the separate MACs of the Bridged
interfaces connected to a devices ports.
maintenance of the information needed to make filtering and relaying decisions.
management of the above

DSLAM bridge elements are managed via the CLI and EmWeb. Along with the basic 802.1D
functionality that allows you to bridge network traffic between different network ports, Q-bridge can
also be configured to separate traffic into Virtual LANs (VLANs) and to prioritize incoming traffic
using frame header tags.

In addition, the bridge can be configured to support IGMP snooping functionality. IGMP snoop
enables forwarding of multicast traffic intelligently instead of flooding all ports with multicast packets.
This leads to efficient use of network bandwidth. IGMP Snoop is available in both Q-bridge and D-
bridge mode. For details of IGMP Snoop and its configuration, refer to IGMP Snoop Support
chapter.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview of Q-bridge suppor; describes the functionality supported including frame header
tags, 802.1P and VLAN learning mechanisms.
Basic D bridge configuration; provides basic D-bridge configuration information.
Q-bridge CLI commands; describes the main bridge commands that you will use to
configure VLANs.
Example Q-bridge configurations; describes typical VLAN network configurations.
IGMP Snoop Support ; provides an overview of IGMP Snoop, its benefits and an
example configuration.

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
22

4.2 Overview of Q-bridge support


The Q-bridge supports the following functionality:

Can support more than 72 Bridge ports
Performs source address learning based on source MAC address and VID
Maintains a static filtering database based on destination MAC address and VID
Maintains a static filtering database based on source MAC address and VID
Performs filtering and forwarding of frames based on the filtering database
Maintains static VLAN registration entries and forwarding frames based on those entries
Supports a hybrid VLAN learning mechanism for unicast packets, thus enabling both
Independent VLAN Learning (IVL) and Shared VLAN Learning (SVL)
Supports both independent and hybrid VLAN learning mechanisms for multicast frames
Provides support for tagged as well as untagged frames, and making tagging decisions for
outgoing frames based on port properties
Performs packet prioritization
Supports 802.1P which provides a method for specifying how prioritization should occur within
a MAC-layer bridge
Performs age-out of dynamic entries in the filtering database
Provides both command-based and graphical interfaces for management and configuration of
the bridge

4.2.1 Frameheadertags

Forwarding, filtering and prioritizing decisions are based on VLAN tags specified in incoming
frames. Frames can fall into one of the following categories:
vlan-tagged; a tag header is attached to the frame after the source MAC address field or the
Routing Information field. The tag header contains a VLAN ID and a prioritization field.
priority-tagged; a tag header is attached to the frame after the source MAC address field or the
Routing Information field. The tag header contains prioritization information and a null VLAN ID.
untagged; there is no tag header attached to the frame


4.2.2 802.1Psupport

802.1P defines the prioritization field of the VLAN tag, which adds a 32-bit tag header after a frames
normal destination and source address header information.
The DSLAM schedules packets based on the traffic class value set in each frame. The user priority
in the incoming frame header is mapped to a regenerated priority value in the outgoing frame
header. The regenerated priority value is mapped to a traffic class value .

Eight levels (values 0-7) of priority are defined. Value 7 is the highest priority and 0 is the lowest.
Incoming packets are buffered in multiple queues based on their priority.

The Priority Queuing service discipline is used to provide better treatment to higher priority frames
compared with lower priority frames. A lower priority queue is only served if the queues of higher
priority levels are not backlogged. This scheme may cause starvation to low priority frames if there
is a continuous flow of high priority frames.
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
23
Incoming frames are buffered in the default priority-enabled interface of the bridge process.

4.2.3 VLANLearningMechanisms

You can configure the bridge to support the following VLAN learning mechanisms:

Independent VLAN Learning (IVL)- Using IVL, the Learning Process and Filtering Database can
be configured so that if an individual MAC address is learned in one VLAN, that learned
information is not used in forwarding decisions taken for that address relative to any other
VLAN in the system. This is achieved by including information from each VLAN in distinct
Filtering Databases.
Independent VLAN Learning (IVL)/ Shared VLAN Learning (SVL) - Two learning mechanisms
are supported. Using SVL, the Learning Process and Filtering Database can be configured so
that if an individual MAC address is learned in one VLAN, that learned information is used in
forwarding decisions taken for that address relative to all other VLAN in the given set. This is
achieved by including learned info from a number of VLANs in the same Filtering Database.

Unicast learning supports SVL/IVL (referred to as the Hybrid VLAN Mechanism in ISOS) - which
supports multiple Filtering Databases and allows you to define the grouping of VLANs to Filtering
Databases. For IVL learning, multiple Filtering Databases are supported and you can define the
each VLAN using an independent Filtering Database. For SVL learning, a single Filtering Database
is supported and you can define all VLANs to use the same Filtering Database.
Multicast learning supports the same mechanisms supported by unicast learning, but you can also
configure the bridge module file to support only IVL (without SVL) so that learning for each VLAN
takes place in an independent Filtering Database.

4.4 Q-bridge CLI commands


This section describes the basic Q-bridge CLI commands required to create and configure VLANs.
They allow you to:
1. Create a Virtual LAN; s
2. Create a VLAN port and set it to forward either tagged or untagged frames;
3. Set ingress filter rules for vlan-tagged frames;
4. Configure the Bridge interface to accept or reject untagged incoming frames;
5. Create forwarding rules and filters for unicast or multicast frames;
6. Map the user priorities of incoming frames to regenerated priorities, then map regenerated
priorities to traffic classes;
7. Create bridge VLAN transports, each for a particular VLAN, and associates IP interfaces to the
bridge VLAN transports;

4.4.1 CreatingVLANs



bridge add vlan <name> <vlanid> <fdb>

Note that the VLAN ID is always unique to each specific VLAN. You can create a single default
VLAN and/or one or more user-defined VLANs. A default VLAN allows forwarding of untagged
frames. To create a default VLAN, you MUST enter:

bridge add vlan DefaultVlan 1 DefaultFdb

Note that you cannot create a user-defined VLAN by entering the same VLAN ID of the default
VLAN (of value 1), because it is reserved for the default VLAN. However, user-defined VLANs may
use the same filtering database - DefaultFdb. A User-defined VLAN allows you to specify the name,
ID and Filtering Database (FDB) name. Specifying a Filtering Database for the first time,
automatically creates the database and adds it to the list displayed by the bridge list fdbs command.
For example:

bridge add vlan vlan2 2 Qbridge
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
27

To check the Filtering Databases, enter:

bridge list fdbs

4.4.2 CreatingVLANports

Once you have created a VLAN, you must add VLAN interfaces to it and specify whether the
interfaces should forward untagged or tagged frames on those interfaces. VLAN interfaces are
created using the command:

bridge add vlaninterface <name> {tagged|untagged} <interfacename>

The <name> is the name of the VLAN created using the bridge add vlan command. The
<interfacename> is the name of the bridge interface that has a valid transport/port attached to it.
The interface must be defined as one of the following:
a tagged interface; will always transmit tagged packets for the VLAN
an untagged interface; will always transmit untagged packets for the VLAN

For example, if you want to add the ethernet0 and a1 ports to vlan2s list of tagged egress
interfaces, enter:

bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged wan1

To list VLANs and check which interfaces are tagged and untagged for each one, enter:


bridge list vlans

VLANs:
I D | VLAN I D | VLAN Name | FDB Name | Type
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1 | 2 | vl an2 | Qbr i dge | st at i c
Tagged I nt er f aces : upl i nk wan1
Unt agged I nt er f aces:

You are not allow to add VLAN interfaces to a default VLAN. For the DefaultVlan, all existing
interfaces attached to the bridge via transports are already automatically configured as untagged
interfaces. The bridge interfaces subsequently created are also added as untagged interfaces to
the default VLAN.
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
28

4.4.3 Ingressfilteringvlantaggedframes

You can set an ingress rule on bridge interfaces in order to filter vlan-tagged frames based on their
VLAN ID. The VLAN ID of every vlan-tagged frame received by an interface is checked. If the ID
specified in the frame matches a VLAN, and if the interface that received the frame is listed in that
VLANs egress interface list, the frame is accepted. If the ID does not match or the interface is not
in the egress interface list, the frame is discarded. This rule is disabled by default to allow incoming
frames regardless of their VLAN ID.
Configure ingress filtering using the command:

bridge set interface <name> ingressfiltering {disable|enable}

For example, the following commands ensure that only vlan-tagged frames with a VLAN ID of 2 are
accepted by the lan interface:

bridge set interface lan ingressfiltering enable


4.4.4 Accepting/rejectingincomingframes

Configure the bridge interfaces to determine whether they can accept only vlan-tagged frames or
accept all incoming frames (vlan-tagged, priority-tagged and untagged) using the following
command:

bridge set interface <name> acceptframetype {acceptall|accepttaggedonly}

In order for a bridge interface to accept all frames, each frame must have a valid VLAN ID. Priority-
tagged and untagged frames do not have VLAN IDs, so they are assigned a Port VLAN ID (PVID)
instead. By default, bridge interfaces accept all frames and the default PVID assigned to frames is
1.

There is no need to change the default PVID if you want to send the untagged traffic as untagged
on all ports in the Default VLAN. If you want to send all untagged traffic to a particular VLAN, change
the PVID so that it corresponds with the VLAN ID by entering:

bridge set interface {name|number} pvid <pvid>

For example, use the following default setting:

bridge set interface lan acceptframetype acceptall


bridge set interface wan acceptframetype acceptall

then set the correct PVID as follows:

bridge set interface lan pvid 2


bridge set interface wan pvid 2

If you want a bridge interface to accept only vlan-tagged frames, all priority-tagged and untagged
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
29
frames that do not carry a VLAN ID (i.e., untagged and priority-tagged frames) are discarded. The
following commands set the lan and wan interfaces to accept tagged frames only:

bridge set interface lan acceptframetype accepttaggedonly


bridge set interface wan acceptframetype accepttaggedonly


4.4.5 Forwardingandfilteringframes

The forwarding process determines which frames should be forwarded between interfaces on the
bridge. Different filters can be applied to unicast and multicast frames respectively.

4.4.5.1 Forwarding unicast frames

Create a filter for the destination MAC address of unicast frames. If the destination MAC address
of an incoming unicast frame matches the address set in this entry, the frame is forwarded to the
egress interface for this entry. To create a filter, enter:

bridge add ucastentry dest <name> <fdbname> <macaddress>

Create a similar filter for the source MAC address and source interface. If the source MAC address
of an incoming unicast frame and the source interface that receives it match the address/interface
set in this entry, the frame is forwarded to the egress interfaces in the entry. To create a filter, enter:

bridge add ucastentry src <name> <fdbname> <macaddress> <recvinterface>

Add an interface to the source or destination MAC filtering entry that you created using the previous
two example commands. Enter:

bridge add ucastinterface <entryname> <fdbname> egress <interfacename>


4.4.5.2 Forwarding multicast f r ames

You can create a Forward All Group for an existing Filtering Database. The interfaces added to this
group are the interfaces that all multicast frames will be forwarded to, in addition to the interfaces
added using the bridge add mcastentry command (described later in this section).

bridge add fwdallinterface independent <vlanname> <interfacename>


bridge add fwdallinterface shared <fdbname> <interfacename>

If you specify the independent option, learning for each VLAN is separate, therefore you only need
to specify one VLAN name. If you specify the shared option, learning is based on the VLANs that
are grouped into a Filtering Database. For example, if you set the multicast learning mechanism to
IVM in the bridge.module file, enter:

bridge add fwdallinterface independent vlan2

You can also create a Forward Unregistered Group for an existing VLAN. The interfaces added to
this group are the interfaces that multicast frames will be forwarded to if their destination MAC
address is not present in the Filtering Database entry. You can specify whether the interface uses
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
30
the independent or shared VLAN learning mechanism, depending on the learning mechanism set
in the bridge.module file. To add an interface to this group, enter one of the following:

bridge add fwdunreginterface independent <vlanname> <interfacename>


bridge add fwdunreginterface shared <fdbname> <interfacename>

Create a filter for the MAC address of multicast frames. If the MAC address of an incoming frame
matches the address set in this filter, the frame is forwarded to all interfaces added to the specified
multicast entrys egress interface list (see the bridge add mcastport command). You can specify
whether the interface uses the independent or shared VLAN learning mechanism. To create a filter,
enter one of the following:

bridge add mcastentry independent <name> <vlanname> <mac>


bridge add mcastentry shared <name> <fdbname> <mac>

For example:

bridge add mcastentry independent filter1 vlan2 01:00:00:00:00:0

Add an interface to the egress interface list of the multicast entry. This list is used by the filter entries
previously created. You can specify whether the interface uses the independent or shared VLAN
learning mechanism. To add an interface to the egress list, enter:


bridge add mcastinterface independent <entryname> <vlanname> egress
<interfacename>


bridge add mcastinterface shared <entryname> <fdbname> egress <interfacename>

For example:

bridge add mcastinterface independent filter1 vlan2 egress lan



4.4.5 Prioritizingframes

You must map the priority levels of incoming frames to regenerated priority levels. Once the priority
level of an incoming frame is detected on the specified bridge interface, the Q-bridge will replace it
with the regenerated priority level mapped to that particular user priority. The regenerated level is
set in the VLAN tag of outgoing frames.

Regenerated priority levels can be set to any value between 0-7, where 7 is the highest priority and
0 is the lowest. To set the regenerated priority mappings, use the following command:

bridge set interface <name> regenpriority <pri0> <pri1> <pri2> <pri3> <pri4>
<pri5> <pri6> <pri7>


For example:
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
31

bridge set interface lan regenpriority 0 0 0 0 5 6 7 7

According to the mapping set in this command, any incoming frame with a user priority of 0-3 will
be replaced by regenerated priority 0, and priorities 4, 5, 6 and 7 will be replaced by regenerated
priorities 5, 6, 7 and 7 respectively.

If your interface is configured to accept untagged frames, you must also configure the user priority
that should be assigned to those frames, using the following command:

bridge set interface <name> defaultuserpriority <defaultpriority>

The regenerated levels are then mapped to traffic class values in the outgoing frame. Traffic class
values can be set to any value between 0-7, where 7 is the highest class and 0 is the lowest. This
value is used by the Scheduler device to prioritize frames for transmission. Traffic class mapping is
disabled by default. To enable it, enter:

bridge set trafficclassstatus enable

Now map the regenerated priority levels to their traffic class values, using the following command:

bridge set interface <name> trafficclassmap <pri0> <pri1> <pri2> <pri3> <pri4>
<pri5> <pri6> <pri7>


For example:

bridge set interface wan trafficclassmap 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

According to this mapping, any outgoing frame with a regeneration priority between 0-3 will be
assigned a traffic class of 0, and any outgoing frame with a regeneration priority between 4-7 will
be assigned traffic class 1. Traffic class 1 will be given higher priority over traffic class 0.

4.4.6 BridgeVLANtransport


Bridge VLAN transport which allows the user to create bridge VLAN transports, each for a
particular VLAN, and associates IP interfaces to the bridge VLAN transports. Each bridge VLAN
transport shall be associated with a unique VLAN Id and a single IP interface. All the packets sent
by IP through a bridge VLAN transport will be tagged with the VLAN Id associated with it. Similarly,
the tagged IP traffic received by the bridge will be sent to IP on the bridge VLAN transport
associated with the VLAN Id in the packet.

NOTE:
The IP stack still sends/receives untagged packets to/from the bridge. It is the bridge that tags
the packet appropriately and forwards on the VLAN interfaces.


To associate an IP interface to a VLAN, first create a bridge VLAN transport using the following
command:

NOTE:
A VLAN with the same VLAN Id should be added to the system before running the add
command.

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
32

bridgevlan add transport <name> <vlanID>

For example:

bridgevlan add transport vt1 7

According to this command, a new bridge VLAN transport is created with VLAN Id 7.

To associate an IP interface with a VLAN, attach the interface with a bridge VLAN transport. Use
the following command:

ip interface <ip interface> attachbridgevlan <vlan transport>

For example:

ip interface iplan attachbridgevlan vt1

According to this command, the IP interface ip1 will send/receive packets with the VLAN Id
corresponding to the transport vt1, which is 7.

NOTE:
Only one bridge VLAN transport can be associated with an IP interface, i.e. one IP interface
cannot send/receive traffic for multiple VLANs.


4.5 Example Q-bridge configurations


The configurations described in this section allow you to:

Achieve LAN isolation;
Create VLANs across multiple switches;
Enable user mobility;


4.5.1LANisolationusingVLANs

You can achieve traffic isolation and security by isolating different networks for broadcast and
multicast traffic. For example, in the figure below, broadcast and multicast traffic is blocked between
VLANs (e.g., between station X and station Y), even though every station is connected to the same
switch.

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
33


Figure 4-2: LAN Isolation using VLANs

Clear your current configuration:

system config clear


system config save


system restart

Create an Ethernet transport (using port ethernet0) and attach it to the bridge:

bridge add interface uplink


ethernet add transport ethernet0 ethernet0


bridge attach uplink ethernet0

Create an RFC1483 transport (using port a0) set to use Logical Link Control (LLC) encapsulation
and attach it to the bridge:

bridge add interface wan0


rfc1483 add transport wb0 a0 0 35 llc bridged


bridge attach wan0 wb0


Create second RFC1483 transport (using port a1) set to use Logical Link Control (LLC)
encapsulation and attach it to the bridge:

bridge add interface wan1


rfc1483 add transport wan1 wb1 0 35 llc bridged
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
34


bridge attach wan1 wb1

Create two VLANs called vlan2 and vlan3 both using the same Filtering Database:

bridge add vlan vlan2 2 Qbridge


bridge add vlan vlan3 3 Qbridge

Add two VLAN interfaces to vlan2. The bridge interfaces wan0 and wan1 (attached to ports a0
and a1) are configured to forward tagged packets:

bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged wan0


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink

Add two VLAN interfaces to vlan3. The bridge interfacesuplink (attached to ports ethernet1
and wan respectively) are configured to forward tagged packets :

bridge add vlaninterface vlan3 tagged uplink


bridge add vlaninterface vlan3 tagged wan1

Traffic isolation now exists between wan0 and wan1 interfaces:

VLAN2 tagged traffic flows between wan0 and uplink interfaces
VLAN3 tagged traffic flows between wan1 and uplink interfaces

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
35
4.5.2 VLANsSpanningMultipleSwitches

You can assign VLANs such that various users behave as if they are on the same LAN even though
they physically reside on separate LANs. For example, the figure below shows three physical LANs,
and three VLANs. The hosts in each VLAN are belongs to different physical LANs, and may even
reside in different locations (i.e., in different buildings).





Figure 4-3: VLANs Spanning Multiple Switches

You need to configure two devices for this configuration; they are connected to each other via ATM.

4.5.2.1 Configuring DSLAM system A

Clear your current configuration:

system config clear

bridge attach uplink ethernet0

Create an RFC1483 transport (using port a1) set to use Logical Link Control (LLC) encapsulation
and attach it to the bridge:

bridge add interface wan1

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
36

rfc1483 add transport wb1 a1 0 35 llc bridged


bridge attach wan1 wb1

Create a VLAN called vlan2:

bridge add vlan vlan2 2 Qbridge

Add two VLAN interfaces to vlan2. The bridge interfaces uplink and wan1 (ethernet0 and a0
respectively) are configured to forward tagged packets:

bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink


4.5.2.2 Configuring DSLAM system B

This configuration is identical to the configuration for DSLAM System B:

system config clear


system config save


system restart


bridge add interface uplink


ethernet add transport ethernet0 ethernet0


bridge attach uplink ethernet0


bridge add interface wan0


rfc1483 add transport wan0 a0 0 35 llc bridged


bridge attach wan1 wan0


bridge add vlan vlan2 2 Qbridge


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
37

bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged wan0

vlan2 now spans DSLAM systems A and B.

4.5.3 Trafficprioritization

This configuration allows you to generate different kinds of traffic generated from three different
sources; Office A, Office B and Office C:


Figure 4-4: Traffic prioritization network


Each Office is attached to the device via a separate bridge interface. Frames originating from the
Offices that contain VLAN user priorities will be detected by the Q-bridge and replaced with the
corresponding regenerated priority. In this configuration example, the regenerated priority
mappings differ depending on which Office the traffic originates from. These mapping are
configured as follows:


Regenerated Priorities
User Priorities
Office A (wan0) Office B (wan1) Office C (uplink)
7 7 7 7
6 6 6 7
5 6 6 6
4 6 6 6
3 0 0 0
2 0 0 0
1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0

Table 4-1: User and regenerated priority mappings

The bridge normalizes packet priorities and ensures that all Network Management traffic is
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
38
transmitted with priority 7, and Interactive traffic is transmitted with priority 6.
In turn, regenerated priorities are mapped to traffic class values in the outgoing frames. The
mappings used in this configuration are as follows:


Regenerated
Priority

Traffic class
7 2
6 1
5 0
4 0
3 0
2 0
1 0
0 0

Table 4-2: Regenerated priorities mapped to traffic classes

In this way, all tagged frames are prioritized into one of the following:

traffic class 2 (higher priority)
traffic class 1 (medium priority)
traffic class 0 (lower priority)
To configure this network:

Create a VLAN called vlan2:

bridge add vlan vlan2 2 Qbridge

Add VLAN ports to vlan2. The ports attached to the bridge interfaces lan1, lan2 and wan are
configured to forward tagged packets:

bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged wan0


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged wan1


bridge add vlaninterface vlan2 tagged uplink


Enable traffic class mapping so that regenerated levels can be mapped to
corresponding traffic classes:

bridge set trafficclassstatus enable


bridge set interface wan0 regenpriority 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 7



Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
39


bridge set interface wan1 regenpriority 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 7


bridge set interface uplink regenpriority 0 0 0 0 6 6 7 7



bridge set interface lan1 trafficclassmap 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2


bridge set interface lan2 trafficclassmap 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2


bridge set interface wan trafficclassmap 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2

You can now generate packets from each Office and check that user priorities are mapped to traffic
classes as follows:
Default priority traffic maps to traffic class 0
Interactive traffic maps to traffic class 1
Network Management traffic maps to traffic class 2

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge

4.6 IGMP Snoop Support


4.6.1 Overview

An IGMP Snoop switch provides the benefit of conserving bandwidth on those segments of the
network where no node has expressed interest in receiving packets addressed to the multicast
group address. This is in contrast to the normal switch behavior where multicast traffic is typically
forwarded on all interfaces.

The IGMP Snooping switch listens to IGMP reports, queries and leave messages sent between
hosts and a multicast router, to identify the interfaces that are members of multicast groups. Based
on this information it adds/deletes multicast entries from its filtering database, ensuring that
multicast traffic is only forwarded to interfaces identified as members of the specific multicast group.
In ISOS, IGMP Snoop is implemented in two modes - Proxy and Snoop-only, with 'Snoop-only'
being the default mode. The 'Proxy mode' is supported by means of IGMP proxy-reporting, where
the reports received from the downstream hosts are summarized and then the switch reports its own
state in response to the upstream queries from multicast routers. The switch also acts as a Querier,
generating queries periodically on the downstream interfaces. The 'Snoop only' mode is
implemented by snooping through the IGMP packets and forwarding the IGMP packets received on
the upstream interfaces to all other interfaces. As the queries received from the upstream interfaces
are forwarded to the downstream interfaces, periodic queries are not generated, unlike the proxy
mode. The IGMP packets received on a downstream interface are also forwarded to all the
upstream interfaces.

IGMP Snoop also supports two leave processing modes for each bridge interface - Fast and
Normal, with 'Normal' being the default mode. In the 'Fast' mode of leave processing, on receiving
a leave message on a downstream interface, IGMP Snoop shall simply delete the interface from
the group membership information and the 'Leave' message is forwarded to the upstream
interfaces. 'Fast' Mode for an interface shall be configured when it is known that there is only one
host behind the interface. Fast leave processing helps to reduce the latency involved in removing
an interface from the group membership information. In the 'Normal' mode of leave processing, on
receiving a leave message on a downstream interface, IGMP snoop shall repeatedly generate
group specific queries on the interface. Failure to receive any membership report in response shall
result in deletion of the interface from the group membership information.
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
41
4.6.2 BenefitsofIGMPSnoopinDbridgemode


In D-bridge, all multicast packets are treated like broadcast packets which are forwarded on all ports
in the forwarding state. This results in less efficient utilization of network bandwidth as multicast
traffic is forwarded on interfaces where no node has any interest in receiving the packet.

Figure 4-5: Multicast packets flooding without IGMP Snoop in D-bridge

IGMP snooping enables forwarding of multicast traffic intelligently, instead of flooding to all ports.
Multicast packets that belong to a layer 2 multicast group are only forwarded to an interface if a host
on that interface has expressed interest in the same group. This significantly reduces flooding of
multicast data resulting in better utilization of network bandwidth and improved bridge performance.

4.6.3 BenefitsofIGMPSnoopinQbridgemode

In Q-bridge without IGMP Snoop, multicast packets are not forwarded unless the bridge is statically
configured to forward multicast packets.In other words, multicast entries and their egress interface
list need to be created through the CLI. Using the fwdall configuration to forward multicast packets
on interfaces leads to multicast traffic for all multicast groups to be forwarded on these interfaces,
which may not be desirable.

Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
42

Figure 4-6: Reduced flooding with static configuration of Multicast Filtering Database in
Q-bridge

With IGMP Snoop, creation of static multicast filtering entries is not required as it allows dynamic
addition/deletion of multicast entries in the multicast filtering database. Hosts interested in multicast
data send IGMP membership reports specifying the IP multicast group. IGMP Snoop captures this
information and adds dynamic entries in the multicast Filtering Database for the group and the
interface in its egress list. Similarly when a host leaves a multicast group, it sends an IGMP leave
message which is used by IGMP Snoop to delete the interface from the multicast group entry.
Therefore, multicast data is forwarded on only those interfaces that are a part of the filtering
database entry for the group. This results in better utilization of the network bandwidth.


Figure 4-7: Reduced flooding and dynamic configuration of Multicast Filtering Database
with IGMP Snoop

4.6.4 ExampleIGMPSnoopConfiguration

The configuration described in this section allows you to achieve dynamic addition/deletion of
multicast filtering entries and interfaces in this Multicast Filtering Database. Hence, this reduces
flooding of Multicast packets.
Configure the interface P1 on which a multicast router is connected as static multicast router
interface. To add a static multicast router interface, enter:

bridge add igmpsnoop mcastrouterintf P1

You may choose not to configure P1 as a static multicast router in which case it will become a
dynamic multicast router interface on receiving an IGMP query with non zero source IP address.
This will provide flexibility to dynamically change the multicast router interface, depending on the
querier in the network. In case of dynamic multicast router configuration, the user must configure
the multicast router's query interval to be less than the multicastroutertimeout value on the switch,
using the command:

bridge set igmpsnoop mcastroutertimeout

Enable IGMP Snoop using the CLI command:
Chapter 4 Configuring the bridge
43

bridge set igmpsnoop enabled

If there is only one host connected to a downstream interface B1, to set the 'fast' mode of leave
processing, enter:

bridge set interface B1 igmpsnoop leavemode fast


Hosts on the downstream interfaces will respond with their group membership reports in response
to general queries generated by the switch. The dynamic multicast group membership information
can be listed using the command:

bridge list igmpsnoop groupinfo

To list the multicast entries and interfaces created dynamically in the Filtering Database (only
available in Q-bridge mode), enter:

bridge list mcastentries {shared|independent} <fdb_name>

5 Configuring ports


This chapter describes the ports available on your DSLAM device.


5.1 Configuring ports using the CLI



5.1.1 Displayingavailableports

Each port belongs to a port class. You can list port classes by entering:

port list ?

adsl Por t cl ass
al l Por t cl ass
at m Por t cl ass
et her net Por t cl ass

The port list all CLI command lists the available ports (from every port class) on your DSLAM.

To display all ports, enter:

port list all

The port listed depends on the DSLAM type that you are using. The following output is for a
DSLAM5024 device:

Chapter 8 Configuring RFC1483
56
8 Configuring RFC1483


This chapter provides information about the RFC 1483.

The RFC 1483 transport provides the simplest method of connecting end stations over an ATM
network. RFC 1483 can either be used in bridged mode, where Ethernet packets are encapsulated
in AAL-5 (ATM Adaptation Layer-5) PDUs (Protocol Data Units), or routed mode, where IP packets
are encapsulated in AAL-5 PDUs.
It is most often used in bridged mode, which allows MAC-level Ethernet to be bridged directly to
RFC 1483.

8.1 Ethernet - RFC1483 bridged


In this configuration, the DSLAM device uses the Bridge module to bridge between Ethernet and
RFC 1483 at Layer 2. The systems do not need to be configured with any IP address information
because both LAN PCs are on the same subnet. The RFC 1483 encapsulated frames run over a
PVC .

Figure 8-1: Ethernet-RFC1483 bridged configuration

The outline configuration procedure is as follows:

1. Configure the PCs;
3. Configure the DSLAM;

Chapter 8 Configuring RFC1483
57
8.1.1 ConfigurePCAandPCB

The PCs will have IP addresses on the same subnet as the routers LAN IP address
(192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0). For example:
PC A
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
PC B (Wireless)
IP address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

8.1.2 ConfiguretheDSLAM

Clear your current configuration:

system config clear


system config save


system restart

Create an Ethernet transport and attach it to the bridge:

bridge add interface uplink


ethernet add transport ethernet0 ethernet0


bridge attach uplink ethernet0

Create an RFC1483 transport set to use Logical Link Control (LLC) encapsulation and attach it to
the bridge:

rfc1483 add transport wb0 a0 0 101 llc bridged


rfc1483 add transport wb1 a1 0 101 llc bridged


bridge add interface wan0


bridge add interface wan1


bridge attach wan0 wb0

Chapter 9 Configuring User Accounts

59
9ConfiguringUserAccounts

This chapter provides information about how to manage the user accounts on your network.

9.1 Administering user accounts


By default, an administrator account exists with access privileges set to allow the administrator to
create new accounts, save backup configurations, restore factory defaults and configure the device
via the CLI, console and EmWeb. When the device first boots, you login to it using the default login
name and password admin:


Logi n: admi n
Passwor d: *****


Logi n successf ul
Once logged in, the administrator can create and configure new accounts for additional users.

9.1.1 Addingnewuseraccounts

There are two types of account that you can add to the system:


a dialin account that allows the user to access the system via a dialin connection, for example,
using PPP, but cannot login to the system directly.
a login account that allows the user to login to the system directly, but cannot access the system
via a dialin connection.

To add a dialin user, use the command:

system add user <name> [comment]

For example:

system add user fred user with dialin access

To add a login user, use the command:

system add login <name> [comment]

For example:

system add login joe user with login access

The default attributes for each dialin and login user account are as follows:

Table 9-1: Default user attributes

Default attributes Dialin user Login user
Chapter 9 Configuring User Accounts
60
User can dialin to the system via the CLI Yes No
User can login to the system via the CLI No Yes
User can access the web pages No Yes
Default access permission set default user default user
.

NOTE:
The term user is used throughout this chapter to refer to both login and dialin users, unless
