5.3 Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation broadens bandwidth and reliability by bundling a group of physical interfaces into a single logical interface.
LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is a logical link bundled by multiple Ethernet links (Eth-Trunk).
Ceaselessly expanding network size increases users' demands of link bandwidth and reliability. Traditionally, high-speed interface board or the compatible equipment is usually replaced to optimize bandwidth, which is expensive and inflexible.
Link Aggregation Technology bundles multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface without upgrading hardware. Its backup mechanism not only improves reliability, but also shares the flow load on different physical links.
As shown below, Switch A is linked with Switch B through three Ethernet links which are bundled into an Eth-Trunk logical link. Its bandwidth equals to that of the three links in total, thus broadening the bandwidth. Meanwhile, these three links back up mutually to be more reliable.

Link Aggregation can meet the following demands:
● Insufficient bandwidth of two switches connected with one link.
● Insufficient reliability of two switches connected with one link.
Link Aggregation can be divided into Manual Mode and LACP Mode in accordance with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) state.
In the first mode, Eth-Trunk establishment, member interface access should be added manually without LACP. It is also called the Load-sharing Mode because all links are involved in data forwarding and load sharing. In case any active link fails, LAG will average load with the remaining ones. This mode is preferred under the circumstance
that two directly connected devices require a larger link bandwidth but has no access to LACP.

5.3.3 LACP
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), based on IEEE 802.3ad Standard, dynamically aggregates and disaggregates links. It exchanges info with the opposite network devices through LACPDU (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit). After a port uses LACP, it will inform the opposite network device of system priority, system MAC, port priority and No., and operation Key by transmitting a LACPDU. The opposite device will compare such info with that saved by other ports after receiving it, thus reaching an agreement on port participation in or quitting from a dynamic aggregation.
Dynamic LACP aggregation is automatically created or deleted by system, that is, internal ports can be added or removed by themselves. Only the ports connected to a same device with the same rate, duplex, and basic configuration can be aggregated. Instructions for adding a dynamic link aggregation:
- Click the "Port > Link Aggregation > Group" in the navigation bar, select the LAG ID and LACP mode, "Edit" them as follows:

5.8 Storm Control
Storms generated via broadcast, unknown multicast and unicast messages are prevented as follows. These messages will be suppressed subject to packet rates respectively. The average rate of the messages received by monitoring interfaces will be compared with the max threshold configured during an inspection interval. Configured storm policing will be performed at this interface if the average rate exceeds the max
threshold.
When a L2 Ethernet interface receives the broadcast, unknown multicast or unicast messages, the device will forward them to other L2 interfaces in a same VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) if the egress interface cannot be recognized according to destination MAC addresses. As a result, broadcast storm may occur to degrade device operation performance.
Three kinds of message flow can be controlled by storm policing characteristics to stay away from broadcast storms.
Instructions:
- Click the "Port > Storm Control" in the navigation bar to configure the attributes related to storm policing such as mode as follows:

VLAN is superior to the traditional Ethernet in terms of:
- Broadcast domain coverage: the broadcast message in a LAN is limited in a VLAN to save the bandwidth and handle the network-related issues more efficiently.
● LAN security: VLAN hosts fail to communicate with each other since the messages are separated by the broadcast domain in the data link layer. They need a router on a Layer 3 switch for Layer 3 forwarding.
- Flexibility of creating a virtual working team: VLAN can create a virtual working team beyond the control of physical network. Users have access to the network without changing the configuration if their physical locations are moving within the scope. This management switch is compatible with VLAN types based on 802.1Q, protocols, MAC, and ports. For default configuration, 802.1Q VLAN mode should be adopted. Port VLAN is divided subject to a switch's interface No. Network administrator gives each switch interface a different PVID, namely a port default VLAN. If a data frame without a VLAN tag flows into a switch interface with a PVID, it will be marked with the same PVID, or it will get rid of an additional tag even though the interface has a PVID.
- The solution to a VLAN frame depends on the interface type, which eases member definition but re-configures VLAN in case of member mobility.

7.1.4 Port Setting
Trunk configuration. Connected with other switches, Trunk interfaces mainly connect trunk links to allow the VLAN frames to flow through. IEEE 802.1q is the encapsulation protocol of Trunk link and considers the formal standard for Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks. It changes the frame format of Ethernet by adding a 4-bit 802.1q Tag between the source MAC address field and the protocol field.

| Field | Length | Name | Analysis |
| TPID | 2 bytes | Tag Protocol Identifier to describe the frame type | It refers to the 802.1q Tag frame when the value is 0x8,100, which will be discarded if relevant equipment fails to receive it. |
| PRI | 3 bits | Frame Priority | It ranges from 0 to 7, with the higher priority represented by larger number. Data frame with higher priority will be sent preferentially in case of switch congestion. |
| CFI | 1 bit | Canonical Format Indicator to reveal whether the MAC address is classical or not. | MAC address is classical when CFI is 0 and non-classical when CFI is 1. It promotes the compatibility between Ethernet and token ring. CFI will be 0 in the Ethernet. |
| VID | 12 bits | VLAN ID indicates the VLAN to which the frame belongs. | It ranges from 0 to 4,095, with 1 to 4,094 valid since 0 and 4,095 are the protocol retention values. |
Packets sent by each switch supporting 802.1q protocol contain a VLAN ID to indicate the VLAN to which the switch belongs. Therefore, Ethernet frames are divided into two types as follows in a VLAN switching network:
- Tagged frame: it refers to the frame adding a 4-bit 802.1q Tag.
- Untagged frame: it refers to the original frame without a 4-bit 802.1q Tag.
Connected with other switches, Trunk interfaces mainly connect trunk links to allow the VLAN frames to flow through.
Instructions for trunk interface configuration:
- Click the "VLAN > VLAN > Port Setting" in the navigation bar, select the port and "Edit" it to configure the attributes:

7.2 Voice VLAN
Traditionally, ACL (Access Control List) will be applied to distinguish Voice Data and QoS (Quality of Service) will be used to ensure transmission quality, thus enhancing the priority. In order to simplify user configuration and facilitate voice flow management, Voice VLAN emerges. Enabled interface judges whether it is Voice Data flow or not according to the source MAC address field accessing the interface data flow. The message in the source MAC address is the Voice Data flow, which confirms to the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) of the voice devices that are configured by the system. The interfaces receiving Voice Data flow will automatically transmit to Voice VLAN, thus simplifying user configuration and Voice Data management.
OUI of Voice VLAN
OUI represents a MAC address field. Its address can be calculated based on the 48-bit MAC address and the corresponding bit of mask. The number of bits of ingress MAC address and matching OUI is determined by the length of the all "1"-bit in the mask. For example, if the MAC address is 1-1-1 and the mask is FFFF-FF00-0000, the result of execution and calculation of MAC address and corresponding mask, namely OUI, will be 0001-0000-0000.
If the first 24 bits of the ingress MAC address are matched with those of OUI, the enabled Voice VLAN interface identifies the data flow and the ingress device as the Voice Data flow and voice device respectively.
Voice VLAN is divided for user Voice Data flow. Voice VLANs are created to connect the interfaces linked with voice devices to transmit the Voice Data inside in a centralized way.
Voice Data and non-Voice Data often exist in the same network. Voice Data needs a higher priority than other business data during transmission to reduce the possible delay and packet loss.

7.3 Protocol VLAN
Protocol VLAN distributes different VLAN IDs according to the protocol (family) type and encapsulation format of the messages received by the interfaces.
Administrators should prepare the mapping scheme between the protocol domain of Ethernet frame and VLAN ID which will be added if untagged frames are received. Strength: Such division method will enhance the management and maintenance by binding the network services and VLANs. Shortcomings: Initial configuration of the mapping relation scheme is necessary. Address formats of protocols should be analyzed and converted, thus leading to a lower speed due to many resources consumed. Instructions:

For example, a company with high info security requirements allows its PCs only to access the internal network. As is shown, switch GE1 connects the uplink ports of Switch A while its downstream ports connect PC1, 2 and 3. As a result, PC1, 2 and 3 can access the internal network through Switch A and Switch, while other PCs can't.
Configuration logic: following steps are used to divide the VLAN based on MAC address.
- Create a relevant VLAN.
- Add Ethernet interfaces to the VLAN in a correct way.
- Connect the VLAN with the MAC addresses of PC1, 2 and 3.
Data preparation: following data should be prepared for the configuration instance:
- Set GE1 PVID of 100 on the switch.
- Set GE1 to access VLAN10 in the Untagged way on the switch.
- Set GE2 to access VLAN10 in the Tagged way on the switch.
- Set the Switch A interface by default, namely all interfaces will be added to VLAN1 in an Untagged way.
- Connect the MAC addresses of PC1, 2 and 3 with VLAN10.

GVRP VLAN registration protocol is an application of general attribute registration protocol, which provides 802.1Q compatible VLAN pruning function and dynamic VLAN establishment on 802.1Q trunk port trunk port.
GVRP switches can exchange VLAN configuration information with each other, cut unnecessary broadcast and unknown unicast traffic, and create and manage VLAN dynamically on switches connected through 802.1Q trunk.
GID and GIP are used in GVRP, which provide the general state mechanism description and information dissemination mechanism for GARP based applications respectively. GVRP only runs on 802.1Q trunk links. GVRP cuts off the trunk link so that only the active VLAN is transmitted on the trunk connection. Before GVRP adds a VLAN to the trunk line, it first receives the join information from the switch. GVRP update information and timer can be changed. The GVRP ports have a variety of operating modes to control how they tailor VLANs. GVRP can dynamically add and manage VLAN for VLAN database
GVRP supports the propagation of VLAN information between devices. In GVRP, the VLAN information of a switch can be configured manually, and all other switches in the network can dynamically understand the VLANs. The terminal node can access any switch and connect to the required VLAN. In order to use GVRP, a GVRP compatible network interface card (NIC) should be installed. GVRP compatible NIC can be configured to join the required VLAN, and then access to a GVRP enabled switch. The
communication connection between NIC and switch is established, and VLAN connectivity is realized between NIC and switch.

8 MAC Address Table
Ethernet switches are mainly innovated to forward according to the purposes in the
data link layer. That is, MAC address will transmit the messages to corresponding ports according to the purposes. MAC address forwarding table is a L2 table illustrating MAC addresses and forwarding ports, which is the basis of fast forwarding of L2 messages.
MAC address forwarding table contains following data:
- Destination MAC Address
● VLAN ID belonging to port - Forwarding ingress No. of this device
There are two message forwarding types according to MAC address table info:
- Unicast mode: the switch directly transmits the messages from the table's egress when MAC address forwarding table contains corresponding entries with the destination MAC address.
- Broadcast mode: When the switch receives the messages with the destination address full of F-bits, or there is no entry corresponding to the MAC destination address in the forwarding table, the switch will forward the messages to all ports excluding the receiving port in this way.
8.1 Dynamic Address
Aging time and table info of MAC addresses can be configured and checked on this page.
MAC address table needs constant updates to cater to network changes. It automatically generates entries that are limited by their lifetime (i.e. aging time). Those entries not refreshed after expiration will be deleted. The aging time of an entry will be recalculated if its record is refreshed before expiration.
Proper aging time helps to achieve the aging target of MAC address. Shortage of aging time may lead many switches broadcast to discover the packets of destination MAC addresses, thus influencing the switch performance.
Aging too long can cause the switch to save outdated MAC address entries, thus exhausting the forwarding resources and failing to update the forwarding table based on network changes.
The switch may remove valid MAC address table entries due to too short aging time, thus reducing forwarding efficiency. In general, the aging time recommended is 300 seconds by default.
Instructions for aging time setting:
- Click the "MAC Address Table > Dynamic Address" in the navigation bar to the configuration and view interface:

9 Spanning Tree
Redundant links are often used for link backup and network reliability in the Ethernet switching network. However, such links will generate loops on the switching network, leading to broadcast storm, unstable MAC address list and other faults, thus worsening users' communication quality, or even interrupting the communication. As a result, STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) appears.
Same with the development of other protocols, from the original STP defined in IEEE 802.1D, to RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) defined in IEEE 802.1W and to MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) defined in IEEE 802.1S, STP keeps upgrading.
MSTP is compatible with RSTP and STP while RSTP is compatible with STP. The contrast among these 3 protocols is shown in the table.
The contrast among 3 protocols
| STP | Characteristic | Application |
| STP | A tree rid of loops as the solution to broadcast storms and redundant backups. It converges slowly. | All VLANs can be shared without discrimination in user or business flow. |
| RSTP | A tree rid of loops as the solution to broadcast storms and redundant backups. It converges rapidly. | |
| MSTP | A tree rid of loops as the solution to broadcast storms and redundant backups. It converges rapidly. Spanning trees balance the load among VLANs. Flow of different VLANs will be forwarded subject to paths. | Distinguish the user and business flow for load sharing. Different VLANs forward the flow through separate spanning trees. |
After STP is deployed, the following objectives can be achieved by calculating the loops with topology:
- Loop elimination: eliminate possible communication loops by blocking redundant links.
- Link backups: activate redundant links to restore network connectivity if the active path fails.

9.3 MST Instance
A switching network is divided into multiple domains by MSTP, with independent spanning trees formed within each domain. Each Spanning Tree is called a MSTI (Multiple Spanning Tree Instance), and each domain is called a MST Region: Multiple Spanning Tree Region).
Description:
An instance is a group of VLANs that reduces communication cost and resource utilization rate. Each instance, independently calculated with topology, can balance the load. VLANs with the same topology can be mapped to a same instance, and they are forwarded according to the port state in corresponding MSTP instances.
In simple terms, mapped to the specified MST instance, one or more VLANs are distributed to a spanning tree at a time.

10 Discovery
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is defined in IEEE 802.1ab. It is a standard L2 discovery method which integrates the info such as management addresses, device and interface identifications of local network devices and transmits to the neighbor devices. After receiving the info, they will save it in form of standard MIB (Management Information Base) for NMS query and link communication judgment.
It can also integrate the info and transmit to its own remote devices. The info received by the local network device will be kept in the form of MIB. The following shows how it works.

LLDP is realized based on:
- LLDP module updates its local system MIB, as well as the customized extension MIB, through the interaction between LLDP agent and MIBs of physical topology, entity, interface and other types.
- Encapsulate the info of local network device into LLDP frames and transmit to the remote device.
- Receive the LLDP frame sent by the remote device to update LLDP remote system MIB and customized extension MIB.
● Master the info of remote device such as connection interface and MAC address through the transmitting & receiving function of LLDP agent. - The local system MIB stores local device info, including device and interface IDs, system name and description, interface description, network management address, etc.
- The remote system MIB stores local device info, including device and interface IDs, system name and description, interface description, network management address, etc.
Based on LLDP, LLDP-MED allows other units to expand. The info checked by network devices facilitates fault analysis and deepens the accurate understanding of network topology by management system.

11 DHCP
DHCP Server brief introduction
With the expansion of network scale and the improvement of network complexity, network configuration is becoming more and more complex. Computer location changes (such as portable computer or wireless network) and the number of computers exceeds the IP address that can be allocated.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is developed to meet these requirements. The DHCP protocol works in the client / server mode. The DHCP client requests the configuration information from the DHCP server dynamically, and the DHCP server returns the corresponding configuration information according to the policy.
In a typical application of DHCP, it generally includes a DHCP server and multiple clients (such as PC and laptop), as shown in Figure 1-1.

J["S"] --> K["Server"]
Figure 1-1. In a typical application of DHCP
IP address assignment of DHCP
IP address allocation strategy
According to the different needs of clients, DHCP provides three IP address allocation strategies
- Manual address assignment: the administrator binds the fixed IP address for a few specific clients (such as WWW server). Send the configured fixed IP address to the client through DHCP.
● Automatic address assignment: DHCP assigns IP addresses with unlimited lease term to clients.
● Dynamic address assignment: DHCP assigns IP address with valid period to client, and client needs to re-apply for address after expiration of service life. Most clients get this dynamic address assignment.
Dynamic IP address acquisition process
The message interaction process between DHCP client and DHCP server is shown in Figure 2-1.

G["DHCP Client"] -->|DHCP ACK| H["DHCP Server"]
I["DHCP Client"] -->|DHCP Review| J["DHCP Server"]
K["DHCP Client"] -->|DHCP ACK| L["DHCP Server"]
Figure 2-1. Interaction process
In order to obtain the legal dynamic IP address, the DHCP client interacts different information with the server at different stages. Generally, there are three modes as follows:
(1) DHCP client logs in to the network for the first time
When the DHCP client logs in to the network for the first time, it mainly establishes contact with the DHCP server through four stages
- The discovery phase: the stage in which the DHCP client looks for the DHCP server. The client sends the DHCP discover message in broadcast mode, and only the DHCP server will respond.
- The stage of providing IP address: that is, the stage when the DHCP server provides IP address. After receiving the DHCP discover message from the client, the DHCP server selects an unassigned IP address from the IP address pool and assigns it to the client, and sends the DHCP offer message containing the leased IP address and other settings to the client.
- The selection stage: the stage in which the DHCP client selects the IP address. If more than one DHCP server sends a DHCP offer message to the client, the client only accepts the first received DHCP offer message, and then responds to the DHCP request message by broadcasting to each DHCP server. The information contains the content of requesting IP address from the selected DHCP server.
- The confirmation stage: the stage in which the DHCP server confirms the IP address provided. When the DHCP server receives the DHCP request message answered by the DHCP client, it will send the dhcp-ack confirmation message containing the IP address and other settings provided by the client; otherwise, it will return the dhcp-nak message, indicating that the address cannot be assigned to the client. After receiving the dhcp-ack confirmation message returned by the server, the client will send ARP (the destination address is the address to which it is assigned) in broadcast mode for address detection. If no response is received within the specified time, the client will use this address.
(2) The DHCP client logs on to the network again
When the DHCP client logs in to the network again, it mainly establishes contact with the DHCP server through the following steps.
- After the DHCP client logs in to the network correctly for the first time and then logs in to the network again, it only needs to broadcast the DHCP request message containing the IP address assigned last time, and it is not necessary to send the DHCP discover message again.
- After receiving the DHCP request message, if the address requested by the client is not assigned, the dhcp-ack confirmation message will be returned to notify the DHCP client to continue using the original IP address.
- If the IP address cannot be assigned to the DHCP client (for example, it has been assigned to other clients), the DHCP server will return a dhcp-nak
message. After receiving the message, the client sends the DHCP discover message again to request a new IP address.
(3) DHCP client extends lease validity of IP address
The dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the client usually has a certain lease term. After the expiration, the server will take back the IP address. If the DHCP client wants to continue using the address, the IP lease needs to be updated.
In practice, the DHCP client sends a DHCP request message to the DHCP server by default when the IP address lease term reaches half to complete the IP lease update. If the IP address is valid, the DHCP server will respond to the dhcp-ack message to inform the DHCP client that a new lease has been obtained.

12.1.2 Group Address
According to the previous request mode of multicast, the multicast router will copy and forward data to each VLAN containing receivers when users in different VLANs request the same multicast group, which wastes a great deal of bandwidth. IGMP Snooping configures multicast VLAN by connecting the different users of switch ports to a same multicast VLAN to receive multicast data. In this way, multicast flow can only be transmitted within a multicast VLAN, thus saving bandwidth. In addition, security and bandwidth are guaranteed because multicast VLANs are completely isolated from user VLANs.

12.2 IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping (Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping) is a constraint mechanism on L2 devices to manage and control multicast groups.
By analyzing the IGMP messages received, L2 devices establish a mapping between ports and MAC multicast addresses and forward the multicast data accordingly.
As shown below, multicast data are transmitted on L2 without IGMP snooping. When IGMP snooping runs, known multicast group data are transmitted to specified receivers while unknown multicast data are still on Layer 2.

12.2.1 Property
IGMP Snooping is on the L2 switch between the multicast routers and the user hosts, applicable to deploy IPv4 networks. It is configured in a VLAN to snoop the IGMP/MLD messages transmitted between routers and hosts, and to establish a L2 forwarding table for multicast data, in order to manage and control the multicast data forwarding in L2 network.
Global IGMP Snooping function should be enabled since it is disabled by default. Instructions:

The second layer device running MLD snooping establishes a mapping relationship between port and MAC multicast address by analyzing the received MLD message, and forwards IPv6 multicast data according to the mapping relationship
As shown in the figure below, when the layer 2 device does not run MLD snooping, the IPv6 multicast data packets are broadcast at layer 2; when the layer 2 device runs MLD snooping, the multicast data packets of known IPv6 Multicast groups will not be broadcast at layer 2, but will be multicast to the designated receivers at layer 2.

MLD snooping can only forward information to the receivers in need through layer 2 multicast, which can bring the following benefits:
- Reduce the broadcast packets in the layer 2 network and save the network bandwidth;
● Enhance the security of IPv6 Multicast information; - It is convenient to charge each host separately.

12.4 MVR
In order to solve the problem of multicast traffic broadcast based on VLAN in layer 2 network, we use IGMP snooping protocol to control the receiver, that is, only the receiver can receive the multicast traffic normally.
However, IGMP snooping can only effectively control the traffic of the same multicast VLAN, but not the cross VLAN traffic. As a result, the efficiency of multiple replication of the same multicast in different VLANs still exists. In order to solve the flooding problem of cross VLAN, we adopt the dedicated multicast VLAN of multicast source traffic, as shown in the figure below

13.3 Rip Routes Management
The routing information protocol (RIP) is a relatively outdated but still widely used internal gateway protocol (IGP), which is mainly used in the smaller homogeneous networks. RIP is a classical distance vector routing protocol, which appears in RFC 1058, and presents an improved RIP-2 among RFC1388, and was revised in RFC 1723 and RFC 2453.
RIP uses Bellman-For algorithm currently RIP IPv4 has two versions, RIPv1 and RIPv2. RIP has the following main features:
RIP is a typical distance vector routing protocol.
RIP messages sent by the broadcast address 255.255.255.255, RIPv2 send messages
by using multicast address 224.0.0.9, both using the port 520 of UDP
RIP takes the minimum hop count to the destination network as the routing metric, rather than the bandwidth and delay of the link.
RIP is designed for small networks. The number of hops is limited to 15 hops, and the 16 hop is not reachable.
RIP-1 is a kind of class routing protocol, does not supporting discontinuous subnet design.
RIP-2 support CIDR and VLSM variable subnet mask, which make it supports the discontinuous subnet mask design
RIP periodic full routing updating, make the routing table broadcast to the neighbor router, broadcast cycle default 30 seconds.
RIP protocol management distance is 120.
For small networks, in terms of occupied bandwidth, RIP is small cost and easy to configure, manage, and implement, and RIP is still in use. But RIP also has obvious shortcomings. When there is more than one network will appear loop problem. In order to solve the loop problem, IETF proposed a split-Horizon method, the routing information received at this interface will no longer go out from the interface. The scope of the division solves the routing loop problem between two routers, but can't prevent the problem which is the loop mainly formed by delay factor because of large scale network. The trigger update requires the router to transmit its routing table immediately when the link changes. These speeds up the convergence of the network, but prone to broadcast flooding. In short, the solution of the loop problem needs to consume a certain amount of time and bandwidth. If the RIP protocol is adopted, the number of links in the network can't exceed 15, which makes the RIP protocol is not suitable for large networks.
RIP Working principle
RIP is a distributed type routing protocol based on distance vector, which is the standard protocol of the Internet. Its biggest advantage is simple. The RIP protocol requires that each router in the network maintain a distance record from itself to each other destination network. The RIP protocol defines “distance” as: the distance of a router directly connected network defines as 1.the distance of a router not directly connected network defines as pass each router plus 1. "Distance" is also called "hops". RIP allows one path contain up to 15 routers, so distance equal to 16 is unreachable. So RIP protocol only applies to small Internet.
RIP 2 comes from RIP and is a supplementary protocol for RIP. It is mainly used to increase the number of loaded useful information and increase its security performance. RIPv1 and RIPv2 are UDP-based protocols. Under RIP2, each host or router sends and receives packets from UDP port 520 through the routing select process. The default routing update period for RIP protocol is 30S.

13.4 Ospf Routes Management
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for routing decisions within a single autonomous system (AS). It is an implementation of the link state routing protocol, under the internal gateway protocol (IGP). It is operating within the autonomous system. The shortest path is calculated using the Dixdale algorithm.
OSPF is IGP routing protocols developed by IETF's OSPF workgroup OSPF designed for IP networks support IP subnet and external routing information marking, also allows authentication of message and supports IP multicast
OSPF routing protocol is a typical link state routing protocol, which is generally used in the same routing domain. Here, routing domain refers to an autonomous system (as), which refers to a group of networks that exchange routing information through a unified routing policy or routing protocol. In this as, all OSPF routers maintain
the same database describing the as structure, which stores the state information of the corresponding links in the routing domain. It is through this database that OSPF routers calculate their OSPF routing tables
As a link state routing protocol, OSPF transmits link state multicast data LSA (link state advertisement) to all routers in a certain area, which is different from distance vector routing protocol. The router running distance vector routing protocol passes part or all of the routing tables to its neighboring routers
As for the security of information exchange, OSPF stipulates that any information exchange between routers can be authenticated when necessary, so as to ensure that only trusted routers can transmit routing information. OSPF supports a variety of authentication mechanisms, and allows different authentication mechanisms to be used among different regions. OSPF optimizes the application of link state algorithm in broadcast network (such as Ethernet) in order to make full use of hardware broadcast ability to transmit link state messages. Usually, in the topology of link state algorithm, a node represents a router. If all k routers are connected to the Ethernet, when the link state is broadcast, the packets about these K routers will reach the square of K. Therefore, OSPF allows a node to represent a broadcast network in the topology diagram. All routers in each broadcast network send link status messages to report the link status of routers in the network

14.8 DHCP Snooping
For sake of security, the network administrator may need to record the IP address of a user surfing the Internet and to confirm the correspondence between the IP address obtained from DHCP Server and the host's MAC address.
Switch can record the user's IP address through the secure DHCP relay at the network layer.
Switch can monitor DHCP messages and record the user's IP address through DHCP Snooping at the data link layer. In addition, private DHCP Server in the network may lead to wrong IP address for the user. To ensure that users obtain IP addresses through legal DHCP Server, the DHCP Snooping security mechanism divides the ports into Trust Port and Untrust Port.
Trust Port directly or indirectly connects legal DHCP Server. It forwards the DHCP
messages received to ensure the correct IP address for DHCP Client. Untrust Port connects illegal DHCP Server. DHCPACK and DHCPOFFER messages received from the DHCP Server on the Untrust Port will be discarded to prevent incorrect IP addresses.

14.8.3 Option82 Property
Private DHCP Servers in the network may lead to wrong IP addresses obtained by users. DHCP Snooping security mechanism based on PS7024 Ethernet switch divides the ports into Trust Port and Untrust Port in order to provide the IP addresses through legal DHCP Servers.
- Trust Port directly or indirectly connects legal DHCP Server. It ensures the correct IP address for DHCP Client by forwarding the DHCP messages received.
- Untrust Port connects illegal DHCP servers. DHCP ACK and DHCPOFFER messages responded by DHCP Server on untrusted ports will be discarded to prevent incorrect IP addresses.
Option 82 is the Relay Agent Information Option in DHCP messages, which records
the location of DHCP Client. When the DHCP relay (or DHCP Snooping device) receives the request, message sent from DHCP Client to DHCP Server, administrators can add the Option 82 to locate the DHCP Client and control the security, cost, etc. More flexible approaches to address allocation are created by the servers supporting Option 82 in line with the IP addresses and other parameters allocation policies.
Up to 255 sub-options are contained in the Option 82. At least one sub-option should be defined if Option 82 is defined. The current device supports 2 sub-options: Circuit ID Sub-option and Remote ID Sub-option
Manufacturers usually fill options as needed since RFC 3046 fails to uniform the Option 82 options. As the DHCP relay device, Ethernet switch supports the extended padding formats for Option 82 sub-options and the padding defaults are as follows:
- Sub-option 1: VLAN No. and port index (port physical number minuses 1) of the port receiving the Request message sent by DHCP Client.
- Sub-option 2: bridge MAC address of DHCP relay device receiving the DHCP Client Request message.
Sub-option 1: VLAN No. and port index (port physical number minuses 1) of the port receiving the Request message sent by DHCP Client as follows.
| Sub-option Type (0x01) | Length (0x06) | Circuit ID Type (0x00) | Circuit ID Length (0x04) |
| VLAN ID | Port Index | ||
Sub-option 2: bridge MAC address of DHCP relay device receiving the DHCPREQUEST message of DHCP Client.
| 0 | 7 | 15 | 23 | 31 |
| Sub-option Type (0x02) | Length (0x08) | Remote ID Type (0x00) | Remote ID Length (0x06) | |
| MAC Address | ||||
DHCP Relay Supporting Mechanism of Option 82
The processes of DHCP Client acquiring IP address from DHCP Server through DHCP relay is basically the same as that directly from DHCP Server. Steps of discovery, provision, selection, and validation are essential. The supporting mechanism of DHCP relay is introduced as follows:
(1) DHCP relay will check the Option 82 in the DHCPREQUEST message received and handle it accordingly.
- For existing Option 82 messages, DHCP relay will process according to the configuration policies (discarding, replacing with relay Option 82, or maintaining original Option 82), and then forward to DHCP Server.
- For messages without Option 82, DHCP relay will add and forward the new messages to DHCP Server.
(2) DHCP relay will peel off Option 82 from the response message received from DHCP Server, and then forward the message with DHCP configuration info to DHCP Client.
Description:
DHCP Client transmits a DHCPDISCOVERY message and a DHCPREQUEST message. DHCP relay will add Option 82 to both messages due to different processing mechanisms of DHCP Servers of manufacturers for Request message. Some devices handle Option 82 in the DHCPDISCOVERY message, while others handle it in the DHCPREQUEST message.
A switch configured with DHCP Snooping and Option 82 functions receives DHCPREQUEST messages with Option 82 sent by DHCP Clients. DHCP Snooping takes different processing mechanisms according to different configuration processing strategies and sub-option contents.

- Click the "Security > DHCP Snooping > Option82 Property". Global and port configurations are contained. Select the port to be configured and "Edit" the details as follows:

IP source guard (IPSG) is a port traffic filtering technology based on IP / Mac, which can prevent IP address spoofing attacks in LAN. IPSG can ensure that the IP address of the terminal device in the layer 2 network will not be hijacked, and it can also ensure that the unauthorized device cannot access the network or attack the network through its own specified IP address, resulting in network crash and paralysis

14.9.2 IMPV Binding
In DHCP network, users (non-DHCP users) obtaining IP addresses statically may attack the network by imitating DHCP Server, constructing DHCP Request message, etc. Legal DHCP users may suffer from security risks when using the network normally.
Enabling the static MAC entries based on the interface generated by DHCP Snooping binding table can prevent such attacks. The device then, based on the DHCP Snooping binding table corresponding to all DHCP users, automatically executes the command to generate static MAC entries and disable the interface's learning ability of dynamic entries. Only messages that match the source MAC and static MAC entries can flow through the interface. Therefore, for non-DHCP users, only the messages of static MAC entries that are manually configured by the administrators can flow through, while others will be discarded.

15 ACL
Expanding network scale and mounting flow strengthen the position of network security control and bandwidth allocation. Packet filtering prevents illegal users from accessing, control flow and saves network resources. ACL (Access Control List) filters packets by configuring the message matching rules and processing methods.
The switch port receiving messages analyzes the field according to the current ACL rules. Once a specific message is identified, it will be allowed or forbidden to flow through according to predetermined policies.
The packet matching rules defined by ACL can also be referenced by other functions requiring flow distinction such as the definition of QoS flow classification rules. ACL can filter packets by setting matching rules and processing methods. ACL is a collection of permission and denial conditions applicable to packets. When the interface receives the packets, the switch compares the fields and ACL to determine the permitted and denied packets subject to specified standards. ACL classifies packets by matching conditions, which can be the source/destination MAC address, source/destination IP address, port No. and so on. ACL classifies packets by matching conditions, which can be the source/destination address, port No., etc. ACL can be divided into the following categories according to application purposes:
Basic IP ACL formulates rules based only on the source IP address of packets. ACL ID ranges from 100 to 999. Advanced IP ACL prepares rules according to packets' source/destination IP address, protocol types carried by IP, and Layer 3 or 4 info such as protocol characteristics. ACL ID ranges from 100 to 999.
L2 ACL: Rules are made according to the packets' source/destination MAC address, 802.1p priority, and L2 info such as protocol type. ACL ID ranges from 1 to 99.

QoS (Quality of Service) assesses the ability of service providers to meet customer needs and the ability of transmitting packets over the Internet. Diversified services can be assessed based on different aspects. QoS usually refers to the evaluation of service capabilities that support core requirements such as bandwidth, delay, delay variation, and packet loss rate during delivery. Bandwidth, also known as throughput, refers to the average business flow within a certain period of time, with the unit of Kbit/s. Delay refers to the average time required for business flowing through the network. For a network device, the followings are general levels of delay requirements. There are two delay levels, that is, the high-priority business can be served as soon as possible by scheduling method of priority queue, while the low-priority business gets services after that. Delay variation refers to the time change of business flowing through the network. Packet loss rate refers to the percentage of lost business flow during transmission. As modern transmission systems are very reliable, information is often lost in network congestion. Packet loss due to queue overflow is the most common situation.
All messages in a traditional IP network are treated equally. Every network device processes the messages on a FIFO basis, and makes every effort to transmit them to destinations without guaranteeing reliability, transfer delay, or other performance.
Network service quality is constantly improved as new applications keep springing up in the rapidly changing IP network. For example, VoIP, video and other delay-
sensitive services have set higher standards on message transmission delay. Message transmission in a short period has been the common trend. In order to support voice, video and data services with different requirements, the network needs to identify business types and provide corresponding services.
The ability to distinguish business types is the prerequisite to provide corresponding services, so the traditional best-effort service no longer meets the application needs. Therefore, QoS comes into being. It regulates the network flow to avoid and handle network congestion and reduce packet loss rate. Meanwhile, users can enjoy dedicated bandwidths while business can improve service quality, thus perfecting the network service capacity.
QoS priorities vary with message types. For instance, the VLAN message uses 802.1p, also known as the CoS (Class of Service) field, while the IP message uses DSCP. To maintain the priority, these fields need to be mapped at the gateway connected with various networks when messages flow through the network.
802.1p priority in the VLAN frame header
Typically, VLAN frames are interacted between Layer 2 devices. The PRI field (i.e. 802.1p priority), or CoS field, in the VLAN frame header identifies the quality of service requirements according to the definitions in IEEE 802.1Q.

The 802.1Q header contains 3-bit PRI fields. PRI field defines 8 CoS of business priority ranging from 7 to 0 from high to low.
IP Precedence/DSCP Field
According to RFC791 definition, ToS (Type of Service) domain in the IP message header is composed of 8 bits. Among them, the 3-bit long Precedence field, as located in the following, identifies the IP message priority.

0 to 2 bits are Precedence fields representing the 8 priorities of message
transmission ranging from 7 to 0 from high to low, with either Level 7 or 6 as the highest priority that is generally reserved for routing or updating network control communication. User-level applications only have access to Level 0 to 5.
ToS domain, in addition to Precedence fields, also includes D, T and R bits: D-bit represents the Delay requirement (0 for normal delay and 1 for low delay). T-bit represents the throughput (0 for normal throughput and 1 for high throughput). R-bit represents the reliability (0 for normal reliability and 1 for high reliability). ToS domain reserves the 6 and 7 bits.
RFC1349 redefines the ToS domain by adding a C-bit to represent the Monetary Cost. The IETF DiffServ group then redefines the 0 to 5 bits of ToS domain in the IPv4 message header of RFC2474 as DSCP and renames it as DS (Differentiated Service) byte as shown in the figure above.
The first 6 bits (0-5 bits) of DS field distinguish the DSCP (DS Code Point), and the higher 2 bits (6-7 bits) are reserved. The lower 3 bits (0-2 bits) are CSCP (Class Selector Code Point), with the same CSCP value representing the DSCP of the same class. DS nodes select corresponding PHB (Per-Hop Behavior) according to DSCP values.
16.1 General
16.1.1 Property
Network congestion resulting from the competition for resource use rights among messages at the same time is usually solved by queue scheduling, thus avoiding intermittent congestions. Queue scheduling technologies include SP (Strict-Priority), WFQ (Weighted Fair Queue), WRR (Weighted Round Robin), and DRR (Deficit Round Robin, which is also expanded from RR technology).

UDLD (Unidirectional Link Detection): it is a Cisco private layer-2 protocol, which is used to monitor the physical configuration of Ethernet link connected by
optical fiber or twisted pair. When one-way link appears (it can only transmit to one direction, for example, I can send data to you, you can also receive it, but I can't receive the data you sent to me), UDLD can detect this situation, close the corresponding interface and send it Warning message. One-way links may cause many problems, especially spanning trees, which may cause loopback. Note: UDLD needs to be supported by devices at both ends of the link to run normally.

When the Hello packet is received by the switch, the message is stored until the aging time is expired. When Hello is received again before the expiration of the aging time, the aging time is refreshed.
When a new neighbor or a neighbor requests to resynchronize the cache, a series of UDLD probe / echo (Hello) packets are sent.
Instructions:
- Click the "Diagnostics > UDLD > Neighbor" in the navigation bar to select a port for test as follows:

18.4 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is widely used in TCP/IP network. It manages devices by the central computer which operates network management software (i.e. network management workstation). SNMP is:
- Simple: The polling-driving SNMP has the fundamental functionality set that is applicable to small-scale environment with fast speed and low cost. Besides, UDP-driven SNMP is compatible with most devices. Powerful: SNMP aims to ensure the management info transmission between two nodes so that administrators can retrieve, modify and troubleshoot the info easily. There are 3 common versions, namely SNMPv1, v2c and v3. Its system contains NMS (Network Management System), Agent, Management object and MIB (Management Information Base).
- NMS, as the management center, will manage all devices. Each device under management includes the resident Agent, MIB and management objects. NMS interacts with the Agent running on the management object which will operate the MIB to execute NMS orders.

NMS
● As the network administrator, NMS manages/monitors network devices by SNMP
on its server. It can request the Agent to inquire or modify specified parameter(s). NMS can receive the Trap actively sent by the Agent to be updated with the states of the managed devices.
Agent
- As an agent process of the managed devices, it maintains device data and responds to the NMS requests by reporting management data. Agent will fulfill relevant orders through MIB Table and transmit the results back to NMS after receiving its request. Devices will take the initiative to transmit info related to the current statues of devices to NMS through Agent once a fault or another event occurs.
Management object
- It refers to the object under management. Each device may have more than one objects, including a piece of hardware (e.g. an interface board), partial hardware and software (e.g. routing protocol), as well as other configuration item sets
MIB
- MIB is a database specifying the variables maintained by the management object (i.e. the info that can be inquired and set by the Agent). MIB defines the attributes of the management object, including the name, state, access right and data type. The following functions can be realized through MIB: Agent will master the instant device info by inquiring MIB and set the state configuration items by changing MIB.

18.5 RMON
RMON (Remote Monitoring) is a MIB defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and significantly emphasizes the MIB II standard. It mainly monitors data flow in a network segment or even the whole network, which is one of the widely used network management standards. RMON includes NMS (Network Management Station) and
Agent running on various Network devices. RMON Agent running on network monitors or detectors will track and count flow info (e.g. the total number of messages on a network segment during a certain period of time, or that of correct messages sent to a host) on the network segment connected to the port. Based on SNMP architecture, RMON is compatible with the existing SNMP framework. SNMP monitors remote network devices in a more efficient and active manner to supervise subnet operation. RMON can reduce communication flow between NMS and SNMP Agent to manage the large-scale interconnection network conveniently and effectively. Multiple monitors can collect data by 2 means: The exclusive RMON probe is used to collect data, and the NMS directly manages info and controls network resources. All RMON MIB info can be obtained. RMON Agent with direct access to network devices (router, switch, HUB, etc.) will become the network facility with RMON probe function. RMON NMS exchanges data with SNMP Agent with SNMP basic command to collect network management info. However, limited by device resources, it generally fails to obtain all data of RMON MIB. Most devices collect data from only four groups: alarm, event, history and statistics groups. Area-type switch realizes RMON in the second way. RMON Agent directly accessing switches will become the network facility with RMON probe function. By running the SNMP Agent supported by switches, NMS can obtain overall flow, error statistics, performance statistics and other info on the network segments connected to ports, in order to manage the network.
18.5.1 Statistics
The statistics group info reflects the statistics of each monitoring interface on the switch, namely the info accumulated from the beginning of group creation. Statistics include the number of network conflicts, CRC error messages, too-small (too-large) data messages, broadcast/multicast messages, bytes and messages received, etc. With the RMON statistics and management functions, port usage and errors occurred can be monitored and counted respectively.
Instructions
- Click the "Management > RMON > Statistics" in the navigation bar as follows, which reveals the port-related message statistics.

18.5.2 History
Once configuring the RMON history group, the switches will periodically collect and temporarily store the network statistics for processing ease, providing historical data on network segment flow, error packets, broadcast packets, bandwidth utilization, and other statistics. Historical data management can be used to set up devices in terms of historical data collection including periodical collection and maintenance of the data of specified ports.

RMON alarm management monitors specific alarm variables, such as port statistics. An alarm event occurs when the value of monitored data exceeds the defined threshold in the corresponding direction, which will be treated according to the prescribed treatment mode. Event definition is realized in event group. After the user defines the alarm entry, the system will process as follows: The alarm-variable defined by sampling-time should be sampled and the value should be compared with the threshold. For higher threshold, the corresponding event will be triggered.
