IV Allied Telesis Gateway Family Feature Summary
IV.I IEEE 802.IQ VLAN SUPPORT AND IP ROUTING
AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 families support IEEE 802. IQ tagged VLAN operations across all their switch interfaces. Double tagging (also called Q-n-Q) and Port Protected Mode are additional features that extend the iMG flexibility to accommodate business customer scenarios. The powerful combination of wire speed Layer 2 switching between VLANs with high performance Layer 3 routing makes the iMG an highly cost effective unit.
IV.II QoS
AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 families support layer 2 QoS operations based on 802.1p priority field, DSCP IP value and ingress port. Up to 4 egress queue can be used to accommodate different service profiles based on QoS classification, making the iMG perfectly able to manage real time applications with different quality of service requirements.
IV.III PORT RATE LIMITING
In addition to QoS functionalities, AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 families offer the possibility to limit the egress and ingress bandwidth on each port. This feature allows the service provider to offer differentiated services to each customer and protect its network from malicious packet flooding.
IV.IV ROUTING
AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 families incorporate a powerful routing engine that allows the iMG to support a variety of routed application contexts. PPPoE and Dynamic Interfaces (DHCP) are supported to communicate with the service provider networks.
IV.V NAT AND FIREWALL
AT-iMGI400, AT-iMGI500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 families integrate a Stateful Inspection Firewall with in addition Network Address Translation (NAT). Each VLAN can be configured to be external or internal interface. With the Virtual Server features, a web or e-mail server can sit beyond the NAT and appear like being on the public interface.
IV.VI VOICE OVER IP (VOIP)
AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 offer a choice of Voice over IP signaling methods, namely SIP and MGCP including NCS 1.0 profile.
SIP and MGCP are optimized for operation over IP networks. This multiple protocol support provides maximum flexibility for service providers, allowing them to provide an IP telephony service based on cost and feature set, rather than being limited by the protocol used.
Similarly, a choice of different voice and data encoding algorithms is also available comprising G.711 A-law, -law (64kbps), G.729 (8kbps,) and T.38, so that maximum VoIP interworking is assured with carrier class IP Gateways and network switches.
Quality of Service is provided through mechanisms such as the Type of Service (ToS) field in the IP packet, priority tagging of voice traffic using IEEE 802.1p, as well as silence suppression and local generation of comfort noise - the result is excellent voice quality. Class 5 services are supported and the VoIP interoperability has been certified versus major soft-switch vendors.
IV.VII VIDEO STREAMING
Video Streaming offers unique features to optimize the delivery of Video contents to customers, namely VLAN, IGMP snooping, and proxy.
AT-iMGI400, AT-iMGI500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 support full IGMP snooping capability (v1/v2/v3), and individual LAN ports can receive different Multicast transmissions e.g. different movies or TV channels.
The gateway 'snoops' IGMP packets in-transit, so it knows which port to forward the particular Multicast data to. This results in high quality, high-bandwidth video streaming without affecting Internet surfing or IP telephony on adjacent ports.
The gateway also supports IGMP proxy to allow forwarding of Multicast packets at Layer 3 with or without NAT.
IV.VIII MANAGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION
AT-iMGI400, AT-iMGI500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 are designed for high volume deployment, this is reflected in the Zero Touch Configuration model when using the AlliedView NMS management product whereby no user intervention is required when installing a unit. Refer to the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for details.
TR69 protocol is supported for remote provisioning via third party ACS systems.
CLI configuration is also supported via Telnet and SSH sessions.
IV.IX IPv6
AT-iMG1400, AT-iMG1500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 support the following IPv6 functionalities:
- Dual Stack Mode: IPv6 services can run in parallel with legacy IPv4 services sharing the same physical (ports) and logical (vlans) interfaces. IPv6 have a dedicated TCP/IP stack, separated by the IPv4 version, with a proper forwarding/routing/security IPv6 engine.
- IPv6 Routing and IPv6 Firewall: iMG can be used as an IPv6 router being capable to interconnect two or more IPv6 networks. An IPv6 firewall can be configured to protect and control access to the iMG services from the public IPv6 network.
- Transparent IPv6 Bridging: enabled by default on all the iMG next gen. series, allows IPv6 hosts to communicate natively in IPv6 with the service provider network (IPv6).
- Stateless Auto Configuration (SLAAC): IPv6 addresses on the WAN interface can be configured dynamically without any DHCP server on the access network via Router Advertisement for easy plug-and-play operations.
- DHCPv6 stateful configuration: it's a configuration method for WAN interfaces that relies on the presence of a DHCPv6 server in the ISP network from where retrieve IPv6 Global Addresses and other network parameters like Name Servers and search domain string.
- DHCPv6 stateless configuration: it's an hybrid configuration solution for WAN interfaces that makes use of SLAAC for IPv6 Global Address assignments and of a DHCPv6 server in the ISP network for the other network parameters.
- Router Advertisement Daemon (RADV): local hosts connected to the LAN side, can configure their Global IPv6 addresses via SLAAC having the iMG providing them global IPv6 prefixes.
- Prefix Delegation: working in conjunction with Router Advertisement, the iMG requests the list of Public IPv6 Prefixes through DHCPv6 client on the WAN interface and then it propagates this list to the customer's hosts via SLAAC configuration.
IV.X WIRELESS
Wi-Fi interface is available on the AT-iMG1400 family.
Wi-Fi interface uses a 2x2 Mimo technology that operates on a single band only (2.4GHz) supporting the 802.1 b/g/n modes.
Wi-Fi interface can be configured to belong to any custom VLAN allowing the distribution of different type of service, data voice and even video over the wireless path.

1.1.2 How to Access the Product
Note: Refer to the iMG Installation Guides for an overview of all ports and powering up the product. These are available at www.alliedtelesis.com.
There are three scenarios for allowing a user to access the product via the AlliedWare Plus command line:
-
The provider has configured the iMG so that a DHCP server allocates an IP address. The user powers up the iMG, and then uses telnet or ssh to gain access at this IP address.
-
Power up the iMG, with the WAN connection up and running.
- The (external) DHCP server may need to be configured in order to provide the server IP address & connection data to the iMG.
-
Connect a PC to the iMG using an Ethernet cable.
-
Management of the iMG product through the USB-B connection. The user goes to the Allied Telesis website and downloads the appropriate software drivers (needed only for Windows).
Note: On Linux installations these drivers are not needed.
- In case of Windows, follow the normal Windows procedure to install new hardware
Note: The first time you go to release 4.1.2 and above, you must delete any existing drivers and install the latest drivers that are available. For Windows 7, see Appendix B: Windows 7 Drivers for detailed information on how to remove the previous driver and use the native Windows 7 driver.
Note: You may encounter errors depending on the version of Windows you are using, such as the error "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it". The user should first disable IPv6 from the driver connection. Otherwise, the user should delete the version of he driver from the system and download the appropriate software drivers from the Allied Telesis website.
- In case of Linux, the kernel detects the new USB interface. Configure it in order to retrieve dynamically the IP address from the iMG.
- Connect a PC to the iMG using a USB-B to USB cable. The IP address 192.168.200.1 is allocated to the iMG.
The user can then access the iMG using the following interfaces
- telnet or ssh - in the above scenarios, the user can telnet or SSH to either the DHCP-allocated IP address on the iMG (scenario 1) or to 192.168.200.1 (scenario 2). The default administrative login username and password are manager and friend respectively.
- GUI - On the local pc, bring up a browser and input http://
with the IP address identified in either scenario 1 or 2. The default administrative login username and password are manager and friend respectively. For super user and admin/admin for restricted home user account.
Note: The majority of this document covers the CLI command set, since the GUI provides a subset of what the CLI provides. Refer to Using the GUI Application for an overview of the screens and the subset of functions that are available.
Note: This product uses the object model for the Broadband Forum TR-069 standard, and so all operations on the product can be performed using a management system (such as AlliedView NMS) that has TR-069 functionality. Refer to the next subsection on activating the Auto Configuration Server (ACS) url.
I.1.3 TR-069 Management and Scope of Control for the Management Interfaces
TR-069 is a Broadband Forum standard that defines an application layer protocol for the remote management of end-user devices (which are the iMGs). It is a bi-directional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol that when combined with the different Data Model TRs (such as TR-98 Internet Gateway Device, TR-104 Voip CPE, TR-111 Home Networking Devices), provides a means by which the Auto Configuration Server (ACS) can manage the device. For more details please refer to the Broadband forum web site for the TR content (http://www.broadband-forum.org)
TR-069 management can be activated using one of two options:
- The transmission of option 43 along with the other DHCP options. In this case the vendor specific option would include the ACS URL. Receipt of this option triggers activation of the TR-69 client on the iMG – and it will then inform the ACS of its presence. From this point on, the ACS is able to fully manage the device.
- Manually configure (using the CLI or a downloaded configuration file) the ACS URL. When this occurs there is same behavior as option I; the iMG informs the ACS of its presence, and the management of the device proceeds from there.
The following figure shows the relationship between the three methods of accessing and controlling the product:

I.1.4 The Command Interface (CLI)
I.1.4.1 Getting Help
The following kinds of command help are available:
- lists of valid parameters with brief descriptions (the ? key)
• completion of keywords (the Tab key)
• error messages for incomplete or incorrect syntax
I.1.4.2 Command Abbreviations
The AlliedWare Plus CLI contains a number of abbreviations for its commands. For example, the show interface command can be entered in the abbreviated form shown below:
Table I-1: Common Abbreviations
| sh in vlan100show interface vlan100 |
| config termconfigure terminal. |
I.1.4.3 Viewing a List of Valid Parameters
To get syntax help, type ? (i.e. "space question mark") after:
- the prompt. This will list all commands available in the mode you are in.
- one or more parameters. This will list parameters that can come next in the partial command.
- one or more letters of a parameter. This will list matching parameters.
Note: The AlliedWare Plus CLI only displays one screenful of text at a time, with the prompt "--More--" at the end of each screenful. Press the space bar to display the next screenful or the Q key to return to the command prompt.
I.1.4.4 Example
To see which commands are available in Privileged Exec Mode, enter ? at the Privileged Exec Mode command prompt:
This results in the following output

awplus# show i ?
This results in the following output:
interface
ip
Select an interface to configure
Internet Protocol (IP)
I.1.4.5 Examples (clock timezone command)
To use the ? help to work out the syntax for the clock timezone command, enter the following sequence of commands:
The ? help only indicates what you can type next. For commands that have a series of parameters, the help guides the user for the next parameter, and does not indicate the number of parameters needed to complete the command.
I.1.4.6 Completing Keywords
To complete keywords, type the Tab key after part of the command.
If only one keyword matches the partial command, the AlliedWare Plus CLI fills in that keyword. If multiple keywords match, it lists them.
I.1.4.7 Examples
In this example we use Tab completion in successive steps to build the complete command show ip dhcp server summary. We have included
awplus# show ip
interface IP interface status and configuration
name-server Show DNS server IP address
route IP routing table
I.1.4.8 Moving the Cursor around Input Text (Home and End Keys)
The Home and End keys allow the user to go to the beginning or end of a command line, where new text can be inserted.
I.1.4.9 Viewing Command Error Messages
The switch displays the following generic error messages about command input:
% Incomplete command—this message indicates that the command requires more parameters. Use the ? help to find out what other parameters are available.
awplus# interface
% Incomplete command.
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker—this indicates that the switch could not process the command you entered. The switch also prints the command and marks the first invalid character by putting a '^' under it. Note that you may get this error if you enter a command in the wrong mode, as the following output shows.
awplus# interface port1.0.1
interface port1.0.1 ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
% Unrecognized command—when you try to use? help and get this message, it indicates that the switch can not provide help on the command because it does not recognize it. This means the command does not exist, or that you have entered it in the wrong mode, as the following output shows.
Note: The AlliedWare Plus iMG does not tell you when commands are successful. If it does not display an error message, you can assume the command was successful.
awplus# interface ?
% Unrecognized command
1.1.5 How to Work with Command Modes
The following figure shows the command mode hierarchy and the commands you use to move to lower-level modes.
Multiple users can telnet and issue commands using the User Exec mode and the Privileged Exec Mode. However, only one user is allowed to use the Configure mode at a time. This prevents multiple users from issuing configuration commands simultaneously.

FIGURE 1-2 AlliedWare Plus CLI modes
I.1.5.1 User Exec mode
User Exec mode is the mode you log into on the switch.
It lets you perform high-level diagnostics (show commands, ping, traceroute etc), start sessions (Telnet, SSH), and change mode.
The default User Exec mode prompt is awplus>.
I.1.5.2 Privileged Exec Mode
To change from User Exec to Privileged Exec Mode, enter the command:
awplus># enable
Privileged Exec Mode is the main mode for monitoring—for example, running show commands and debugging. From Privileged Exec Mode, you can do all the commands from User Exec mode plus many system commands.
The default Privileged Exec Mode prompt is awplus#.
I.1.5.3 Global Configuration mode
To change from Privileged Exec to Global Configuration mode, enter the command:
awplus# configure terminal
From Global Configuration mode, you can configure most aspects of the switch.
The default Global Configuration mode prompt is awplus(config)#.
I.1.5.4 Lower-level configuration modes
A number of features are configured by entering a lower-level mode from Global Configuration mode. The following table lists these features.
Table I-2: Features configured using the lower level modes
| Mode What it configures | Command to access Default prompt | ||
| Interface Switch ports, VLANs, wireless interface, the management Eth port. | interfaceawplus (config-if)# | ||
| Line Console port settings or virtual terminal settings for telnet. | line console 0line vty number | awplus (config-line)# | |
| Voice Service These are general voice service configuration parameters. Some examples of related data are:- TMF Relay Configuration- RTP QOS Settings- RTCP Enabling/Disabling | voice service voipawplus (config-voi-srv)# | ||
| This level enables and disables the MGCP protocol service, as well as the links between MGCP and the IP network. | mgcp (from config-voi-srv level) | awplus (config-serv-mgcp)# | |
| This level enables and disables the SIP protocol service, as well as the links between SIP and the IP network | sip (from config-voi-srv level) | awplus (config-serv-sip)# | |
| MGCP Configuration that is specific to the MGCP Protocol Service including protocol specific information (timers etc) and references to the Call Agent. | mgcp (from config level) | awplus (config-mgcp)# | |
| SIP Configuration that is specific to the SIP Protocol Service including protocol specific information (timers etc) and references to the Location Server and Proxy Server. | sip-ua (from config level) | awplus (config-sip-ua)# | |
| Voice Applications (access codes) | Allows specification of the access codes required to enable, disable and program different supplementary services | voipapp feature access code | awplus (config-voiapp-fac)# |
Table I-2: Features configured using the lower level modes
| Mode | What it configures | Command to access | Default prompt |
| Voice Supplementary Services | Allows the enabling of a specific supplementary service on a per port basis – as well as configuration of port specific data – such as forwarded to DN. | voipapp supplementary services | awplus (config-voiapp-supl-serv-port) # |
| Voice Port This level enables the configuration of endpoint specific data such as gains etc | voice-port tel1/tel2 | awplus (config-voiceport) # | |
| Voice Class This level enables the definition of a set of Codecs – that are then associated with the appropriate Voiceport – thus enabling a fixed set of codecs for that line | voice class codec | awplus (config-voice-class) # | |
| Dial Peer This can be viewed as an addressable endpoint. As such there are really two different varieties of the dial-peer – the incoming dial-peer – against which information is configured that is required to terminate to an associated voiceport – including for example DN – and the outgoing dial-peer – against which information is configured – that enables the system to route a call to an external callagent or softswitch. Especially important here are the destination pattern (or digit map). Note that three dial peers are created automatically when the system is created – dial peer 1 and 2 are incoming dial-peers – and are associated with voice ports tel1 and tel2 respectively. Dial peer 3 is the out-going dial-peer and is only activated when SIP is enabled. | dial peer voice | awplus (config-dial-peer) # | |
| VLAN database VLANs. vlan database awplus (config-vlan) # | |||
| DHCP dhcp server pools and attributes ip dhcp pool (from | config-if access) | awplus (dhcp-config) # | |
| SSID For configuration of global SSIDs. dot11 ssid <ssid-name> | awplus (config-if-ssid) # | ||
| 2.4GHz 802.11 radio | For configuration of 2.4GHz 802.11 radio. | interface dot11radio1.0.1 | awplus (config-if-dot11radio) # |
I.1.5.5 Returning to higher-level modes

To go from Interface Configuration to Global Configuration mode:
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)#
To go from Interface Configuration to Privileged Exec Mode:
awplus(config-if)# end
awplus#
To go from Privileged Exec to User Exec (the equivalent to log out):
awplus# disable
awplus
I.1.5.7 Entering Privileged Exec Commands When in a Configuration Mode
As you configure the switch you will be constantly entering various show commands to confirm your configuration. This requires constantly changing between configuration modes and Privileged Exec Mode.
However, you can run Privileged Exec commands without changing mode, by using the command:
do
You can use the ? help to find out command syntax when using the do command.
To display information about the IP interfaces when in Global Configuration mode, enter the command:
This results in the following output:
awplus(config)# do show ip int
| Interface |
| vlan1 |
| vlan2 |
| IP-Addressunassignedunassigned |
| Status |
| admin up |
| admin up |
| Protocol running running |
I.1.5.8 Main Command Modes Summary
The table below lists the main command modes, how to access each mode, the prompt for each command mode. From any mode, use exit to move up a mode, or end to move to the Privileged Exec Mode.
Table I-3: Main command modes and modal prompts
| Present Mode Prompt | Command New Mode | ||
| User Exec | awplus# | enable | Privileged Exec |
| Privileged Exec | awplus# | configure terminal | Global Configuration |
| Global Configuration | awplus(config)# | vlan database | VLAN Configuration |
I.1.6 How to See the Current Configuration (running-config)
The current configuration is called the running-config. To see it, enter the following command in either Privileged Exec Mode or any configuration mode:
awplus# show running-config
Note: The database for the configuration is an xml object model.
I.1.7 Default Settings
When the switch first starts up with the AlliedWare Plus CLI, it applies default settings and copies these defaults dynamically into its running-config.
These default settings mean that the AlliedWare CLI:
- encrypts passwords, such as user passwords
• records log message priority in log messages
• turns on the telnet server so that you can telnet to the switch -
enables the switch to look up domain names (but for domain name lookups to work, you have to configure a DNS server)
• starts up in default L2 bridging mode. -
sets all the switch ports to access mode. This means they are untagged ports, suitable for connecting to hosts
- creates untagged VLAN I and adds all the switch ports to it
- allows logins on VTY sessions (for telnet etc)
- has switching enabled, so layer 2 traffic is forwarded appropriately without further configuration
- has ports set to autonegotiate their speed and duplex mode
• has copper ports set to auto MDI/MDI-X mode - disables flow control on WAN, but enables it on LAN interfaces.
I.1.8 The Default Configuration
This includes most of the above default settings, which the switch copies to its running-config when it first boots up.
The switch stores a copy of the default configuration in the file, default.cfg and uses this as its default start-up file.
For more information about start-up files, see 1.1.11.
I.1.9 Defining a User/Password
To change the password for an account, the username is deleted and then re-created. This applies to the default user (manager) as well.
awplus(config)# username <user> privilege <level> password <password>
The password can be up to 23 characters in length and include characters from up to four categories. The password categories are:
• uppercase letters: A to Z
- lowercase letters: a to z
- digits: 0 to 9
- special symbols: all printable ASCII characters not included in the previous three categories. The question mark ? cannot be used as it is reserved for help functionality.
I.I.10 How to Set an IP Address on VLAN I
This section describes how to set an IP address on the default VLAN (vlan1).
- If desired, check the current configuration
After logging in, enter Privileged Exec Mode by using the command:
awplus# enable (Privileged Exec Mode)
Then check the current configuration by using one of the following commands:
awplus# show ip interface brief
This results in the following output:
Interface vlan1
IP-Address 172.28.8.200
Status admin up
Protocol running
- Enter Interface Configuration mode for the vlan I interface
Enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)# interface vlan1
3. Enter the IP address and mask
Enter the command:
awplus(config-if)# ip address
For example, to set the address to 172.28.8.210/16, enter the command:
awplus(config-if)# ip address 172.28.8.210/16
I.I.II How to Save and Boot from the Current Configuration
This section tells you how to save your configuration and run the saved configuration when the switch starts up.
Refer to Figure 1-4, which shows the basic software file configuration. This figure is used to help describe a number of software configuration scenarios.

FIGURE 1-4 Basic Software Configuration
Table I-4: Components of Software Configuration
| Area Purpose Notes | ||
| Configuration Partitions (Mirrored) | All user configuration files are stored here (i.e. all configurations except default.cfg and default_button.cfg). Whenever a user configuration is changed, the oldest configuration partition is brought up to date with the other one and then the new changes are saved to it. In other words configuration saves, copies, and deletions are made to alternate configuration partitions.Therefore, if for some reason an error occurs, the other partition contains a known good backup point. | |
| Default Button Partition This | partition contains a configuration that can be used to override the default.cfg. configuration. This enables the service provider to define a baseline configuration that can be recovered for the device if something goes wrong while manipulating the user configurations (or if the user configurations are removed). | It possible to copy a custom configuration into default_button.cfg |
Table I-4: Components of Software Configuration
| Area Purpose Notes | ||
| Image Partition (1 and 2) Partition 1 contains one complete executable image plus the default.cfg that is guaranteed to be compatible with this image.Partition 2 contains one complete executable image plus the default.cfg that is guaranteed to be compatible with this image | The default.cfg file is provided with the device with specific attributes; therefore, default.cfg cannot be created, moved, or modified from the CLI. Note that the file cannot be deleted. Note that iMGI400 family supports only one image partition. | |
| Boot Partition This partition contains the bootloader plus device specific configuration parameters – such as Serial Number and MAC Address. This partition is not accessible from the firmware. | ||
| PSP Partition This small partition contains information required to ensure that the system loads the desired image and configuration. It can be modified via CLI commands. | ||
| startup-config A shortcut that represents the current boot configuration file. At startup, this is the default.cfg. You can then change the startup-config so that it does not contain the default.cfg (default.cfg is read-only). | Note that the file can be deleted, with the ‘force’ option. Refer to “delete” | |
| running-config A shortcut that represents the current running configuration file. You can you can save this configuration as the startup-config so it will be used when starting up. | ||
I.I.II.I How to Save the Running Configuration to the current boot file (startup-config)
Enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy running-config startup-config
Note: If the running configuration is default.cfg, the startup-config must first be specified with an alternate filename for this to work as default.cfg is a read-only configuration which cannot be modified or deleted.
I.I.11.2 How to Create and Use a New Configuration File
- Copy the current configuration to a new file
Enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy running-config
I.I.I1.3 Example
To save the current configuration in a file called customer_a.cfg, enter the command
awplus# copy running-config customer_a.cfg
- Set the switch to use the new file at startup
To run the new file's configuration when the switch starts up, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)# boot config-file customer_a.cfg
Note: If customer_a.cfg does not exist it will be created using a copy of the running-config.
For an explanation of the configuration fallback order, see "The configuration file fallback order".
I.I.11.4 Example
To run the commands in example.cfg on startup, enter the command:
awplus(config)# boot config-file customer_a.cfg
Display the new settings
To see the files that the switch uses at startup, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# show boot
The output looks like this:
Boot configuration
Current software : [partition 1] bcm96368GW_fs_kernel.AtiBcm-4.1_20
Current boot image : [partition 1] bcm96368GW_fs_kernel.AtiBcm-4.1_20
Backup boot image : [partition 2] bcm96368GW_fs_kernel.AtiBcm-4.1_20
Default boot config: default.cfg
Backup boot config: default_button.cfg (file exists)
Current boot config: customer_a.cfg (file exists)
Continue updating the file when you change the configuration
When you next want to save the current configuration, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy running-config startup-config
I.1.12 How to Return to the Factory Defaults
The switch dynamically adds the default settings to the running-config at start-up if the current boot configuration file is not present. This section describes how to use this feature to return to the factory defaults.
Note: After reboot the show running-config output will show the default factory settings for your switch.
Refer to Start-up Sequence for more information on how the device boots up in various scenarios.
1.1.12.1 Completely restore defaults
To completely remove your configuration and return to the factory default configuration, delete or rename the current boot configuration file and make sure no other file is set as the start-up configuration file.
To find the location of the default boot configuration file, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# show boot
To delete the current boot configuration, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter either of the commands:
awplus# delete force <filename>
or:
awplus# erase startup-config
Note: The wildcard character '*' is supported, and Configuration files must end with '.cfg', so delete *.cfg will delete all config files (except default.cfg). Also note that erasing startup-config deletes the current boot configuration file; it does not simply stop the file from being the boot file.
To make sure that no other file is loaded at start-up, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)# no boot config-file
This will set 'default_button.cfg' as the startup-config.
I.I.13 Recovery of Single Image (iMG1400)
Since the 1400 is a single image based device (unlike the 1500/2500 devices), if the primary image fails, there is no emergency recovery image available, and so an alternate image needs to be available to bring the board into service so that it can be repaired if necessary. This is done using the following:
- In the event of primary image failure, the iMG can perform a netboot (from a TFTP server).
- The default file name requested in the netboot defaults to a well known filename (the image name from the 4.2 GM release)
- The default TFTP server from which the file should be loaded is the one allocated by the DHCP server.
- The default CRC which is used to validate the incoming file is stored in UB and by default is the CRC of the initial release supporting this device.
-
The user can override the following through the application program
-
TFTP filename
- TFTP server
-
TFTP CRC
-
Only CRC validated files will be loaded via netboot during recovery
• CRC can be disabled from the user application

I.I.15 How to Set System Parameters
You can set system parameters to personalize the switch and make it easy to identify it when troubleshooting. This section describes how to configure the following system parameters:
• telnet session timeout
- switch name
I.I.15.1 How to Change the Telnet Session Timeout
By default, telnet sessions time out after 10 minutes of idle time. If desired, you can change this.
I.1.15.2 Examples
To set the timeout to 30 minutes, enter the command:
awplus(config-line)# exec-timeout 30
I.I.15.3 How to Name the Device
To give the device a name, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)# hostname <name>
For example, to name the switch "switch1.mycompany.com":
awplus(config)# hostname switch1.mycompany.com
The prompt displays the new name:
switch1.mycompany.com(config)#
The name can contain hyphens, dots, and underscore characters.
However, the name must be a single word, as the following example shows.
awplus(config)#hostname switch1.mycompany.com more words
hostname switch1.mycompany.com more words
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
It also cannot be surrounded by quote marks, as the following example shows.
awplus(config)#hostname "switch1.mycompany.com more words"
% Please specify string starting with alphabet
Also, the prompt has a fixed maximum length, and so the host name in some cases may be truncated. Refer to hostname.
I.1.15.4 Removing the name
To remove the hostname, enter the command:
switch1.mycompany.com(config)# no hostname
The prompt changes back to the default prompt:
awplus(config)#
I.I.16 How to Set the Time and Date
There are three aspects to setting the time and date:
- setting the current time and date.
- setting the timezone
- configuring the switch to automatically change the time when summer-time begins and ends.
Note: Instead of manually setting the time, you can use NTP to automatically get the time from another device. Refer to Network Time Protocol (NTP).
I.I.16.1 How to Show Current Settings
To display the current time, timezone and date, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# show clock
The output looks like this:
Local Time: Fri, 02 Jan 1970 18:57:48 -08:00
UTC Time: Sat, 03 Jan 1970 02:57:48 +00:00
Timezone: PST
Timezone name: Pacific time, Tijuana
Timezone offset: -08:00
Summer time: disabled
I.I.16.2 How to Set the Time and Date
To set the time and date, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the clock set command clock set:
clock set <hh:mm> <day> <month> <year>
where:
- hh is two digits giving the hours in 24-hour format (e.g. 14)
• mm is two digits giving the minutes
• day is two digits giving the day of the month - month is the first three letters of the month name (e.g. Sep) - The first letter must be capitalized.
• year is four digits giving the year
Note: The setting of seconds is not supported.
To set the time to 14:00:00 on 25 January 2012, use the command:
awplus(config)# clock set 14:00 25 Jan 2012
I.1.16.3 How to Set the Timezone
To set the timezone, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the clock timezone command clock timezone:
clock timezone <timezone-name>
The
To return the timezone to UTC+0, enter the command:
awplus(config)# no clock timezone
To set the timezone to New Zealand Standard Time, use the command:
awplus(config)# clock timezone NZST
I.I.16.4 How to Configure Summer-time
To enable summer-time management, use the command clock summer-time:
The summer time will be managed automatically, depending on the time zone, without specifying any start or stop date and time.
To disable summer time management, use no clock summer-time
I.1.16.5 How to Configure Summer-time
To configure summer-time, use the following:
awplus(config)# clock summer-time
I.I.17 How to Add and Remove Users
I.I.17.1 Adding users
To add a new user with administrative rights, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)# username <name> privilege 15 password <password>
Both
The AlliedWare Plus CLI gives you a choice of 1 or 15 for the privilege level. Level 1 users are limited to User Exec mode so you need to set most users to level 15.
For example, to add user Bob with password 123\$%^, enter the command:
awplus(config)# username Bob privilege 15 password 123$%^
I.1.17.2 Removing users
To remove a user, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
no username <name>
For example, to remove user Bob, enter the command:
awplus(config)# no username Bob
Note that you can delete all users, including the user called "manager" and the user you are logged in as. If all privilege 15 user accounts are deleted, a warning message is generated:
% Warning: No privileged users exist.
Note: If all privilege level 15 user accounts are deleted, and there are no other users configured for the device, manager/friend is automatically created.
If there is a user account on the device with a lower privilege level and a password has already been set with the enable password command, you can log in and still enter privileged mode. When executing the enable command, enter the password created with the enable password command. For example, if the password is mypassword:
awplus> enable mypassword
awplus#
I.1.17.3 Displaying users
To list all configured users, enter User Exec or Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# show security-password user
The output looks like this:
Username Privilege
manager 15
alice 15
guest 1
I.1.18 How to Undo Settings and Restore Parameters to Defaults (no option)
Using the no parameter can accomplish both of these tasks.
To undo most settings, simply re-enter the first parameters of the configuration command with the parameter no before them.
You can set the timezone to Eastern Standard Time by entering the command:
awplus(config)# clock timezone EST-USA
To remove the timezone setting, enter the command:
awplus(config)# no clock timezone
I.1.19 How to Upgrade the Firmware
New releases of the AlliedWare Plus CLI become available regularly. Contact your customer support representative for more information.
- Put the new release onto your TFTP server. (The iMG software must be extracted from the zipped file).
Note: You can use the GUI of the browser to upgrade the firmware, using the Computer Management tab. Refer to Using the GUI Application for more information on the web-based GUI. The iMG software must be extracted from the zipped file prior to upgrade via webGUI.
- Copy the new release from your TFTP server onto a switch partition (not the one that will be booted from).
awplus(config)# copy tftp://<tftp server address>/<path><filename><filename>
- Upon successful copy of a firmware upgrade onto the iMG, the new firmware will automatically be marked as bootable.
Note: The other partition is deliberately not loaded with the new release, in case the new load is bad.
- Check the boot settings
Enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# show boot
- Reboot
Enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter this command and respond to the prompt:
awplus# reload
reboot system? (y/n):
I.1.20 How to configure Wireless
Wireless configuration is a three-step procedure:
- First the desired VLAN must be associated with the SSID
awplus# configure
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
awplus(config)# vlan
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 2
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# do show dotll bssid
Interface BSSID Guest SSID VLAN
dot11radio1.0.1 e2:0c:25:00:01:6d Yes iMG1425W_00_01_6d Default
dot11radio1.0.1 Guest1
Setting up the Gateway Getting Started
dot11radiol.0.1 Guest2
dot11radiol.0.1 Guest3
awplus(config)# dot11 ssid iMG1425W_00_01_6d
awplus(config-if-ssid)# vlan 2
awplus(config-if-ssid)# exit
awplus(config)# exit
awplus#
Note: An SSID may be associated with at most one VLAN at a time. If an SSID is not associated with a VLAN it will not be shown on the web GUI.
- The remainder of the wireless configuration can now be completed using the web GUI.
- Ensure that wireless is enabled. The green wireless LED on the front of the iMG should be lit. If not, press the wireless multi-function button for 3 seconds to hardware-enable wireless. Note that this button acts as a toggle, enabling & disabling wireless (it overrides wireless enabling/disabling functionality available via the CLI & web GUI). Press the wireless button and wait a couple of seconds to enable it. For disabling the wireless function the button needs to be pressed for a longer time (at least 7 seconds).

1.3 Start-up Sequence
The start-up sequence for a device running AT-iMG software under normal circumstances will be as seen below - this sequence will be seen when everything loads and runs as expected.
Booting up consists of three major operations:
I. Image and configuration Selection
- As the device begins to boot, the bootloader reads the contents of the PSP flash partition which stores the preferred partition to load the image from (partition 1 or partition 2) and the preferred configuration to load. If for some reason the psp is corrupt – or unreadable, the bootloader will always begin the process by attempting to load the image from partition 1 and the default.cfg configuration.
- The boot loader checks to determine whether or not the previous boot process has succeeded. (There is a window of 300 seconds at which a boot process is qualified as a success). If it did not, then the bootloader begins the process with the other partition.
- The bootloader checks to determine that the image is present and valid (e.g. not corrupt). If the image is corrupt, it begins the process with the other partition.
-
The bootloader looks to determine if the reset button has been pressed. If it has been pressed, then the bootloader discards any preferred configuration specified, and uses the default_button.cfg if present (customer default), or default.cfg (generic default).
-
Image Loading
-
The bootloader then loads the selected image.
- Once the image has loaded, the Application notes that it successfully booted. (There is a window of 300 seconds.)
Setting up the Gateway CLI Navigation Commands
- If the image boot process fails and the device resets (using for example the watchdog function), then the bootloader will know to use the other image.
- Configuration Loading
- Once the application image has successfully loaded, then configuration loading process begins.
- The device verifies that the selected configuration is acceptable. This implies that:
- The configuration is valid and compatible with the image.
- Unknown objects are ignored, and unknown attributes are discarded.
• If the above test fails, then: - if the default_button.cfg exists, it is chosen as the selected configuration and the process is repeated.
- If the default_button.cfg does not exist – or is not valid and compatible, then the default.cfg is chosen as the selected configuration and the process is repeated. The default.cfg will always be valid and compatible since it is delivered with the Application image.
- The device then begins to load the configuration
- If there is a failure during the configuration loading process – or up to 300 seconds after that process started, then it is assumed that the configuration is not valid – and the fallback configuration is specified as the preferred configuration to load – and the device restarts.
- Once the configuration is loaded, and 300 seconds has expired, the application notes that it successfully loaded.
Note: The 300 second time period is configurable.

ENABLE PASSWORD
Syntax
enable password
Description
This command sets a local password to control access to various privilege levels. Use the enable password command to modify or create a password to be used, and use the no enable password command to remove the password.
This also enables the Network Administrator to set a password for entering the enable mode. There are three methods to enable a password. In the examples below, for each method, the configuration is different: the configuration file output is different, but the password string to be used to enter the enable mode is the same (mypasswd).
A user can have an intermediate CLI security level set with this command for privilege level 7 to access all the show commands in Privileged Exec Mode and all the commands in User Exec mode, but not any configuration commands in Privileged Exec Mode.

EXEC-TIMEOUT
Syntax
exec-timeout {<minutes>}
no exec-timeout
Description
This command sets the interval your device waits for user input from either a console or VTY connection. Once the timeout interval is reached, the connection is dropped. This command sets the time limit when the console or VTY connection automatically logs off after no activity. The no variant of this command removes a specified timeout and resets to the default timeout (10 minutes). This command is used set the time the telnet session waits for an idle VTY session, before it times out. An exec-timeout 0 0 setting will cause the telnet session to wait indefinitely. The command exec-timeout 0 0 is useful while configuring a device, but reduces device security. If no input is detected during the interval then the current connection resumes. If no connections exist then the terminal returns to an idle state and disconnects incoming sessions..

I.6 Creating and Managing Configuration Files
1.6.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information on:
- Files that are part of the automatic file download from a TFTP server
- Creating and Using Configuration Files
• Copying Files To and From Your Device
1.6.2 Software Updates from TFTP server
There is a client software update module running on the gateway that contacts a TFTP server and retrieves from it the required software or support files.
The software update module retrieves the TFTP Server address from the value of a specific dhcp option (option 66 'tftp-server-name' and option 67 for the path) passed by the external DHCP server to the gateway IP interface. It then uses the path and filename string to navigate into the TFTP server.
In order to distinguish the correct DHCP Offer (in case more than one DHCP server is present in the network), the gateway will consider only DHCP Offers that include the option 60, which is sent in the Discover & Request - and expected to be received in the Offer and the Ack. (If option 43 is received, the process stops.)
If multiple leases with Option 60 are received (on different VLANs), the last one received is the one used.
The class-id that identifies the specific device ('dhcp-class-identifier') can have one of the following possible values, depending on the product code:
- iMG1405
- iMGI425W
- iMG1425
- iMG1505
- iMG1525
- iMG1425
- iMG1425W
- iMG1525RF
- iMG2504
- iMG2522
- iMG2524
- iMG2524F
- iMG2524H
Note: The software update module is designed to download only the files that differ or are not already present in the file-system.
Note: On dual image devices, one image is updated, and then the system restarts. The process is then repeated, and the second image is updated.
Note: It is possible to disable the TFTP trigger during the boot phase by setting a parameter value only accessible via CWMP/TR69:
InternetGatewayDevice.X_BROADCOM_COM_AppCfg.X_ALLIEDTELESIS_COM_SwupdateCfg.DhcpTriggerEnable

D --> E["Unit Restart"]
F["NULL"] --> C
FIGURE 1-5 Normal Automatic Update Operation Mode
In order to inform the software update module about which files it must download from the TFTP server, a special file named MD5SUM must be created on the TFTP server.
When the software update module connects to the TFTP server, it retrieves immediately this file and then downloads each file reported in this list.
The MD5SUM file is a list of filenames where each file name has the associated MD5 value.
Note: The filename (MD5SUM) is fixed.
To create the MD5SUM file it is possible use the md5sum command available under standard Linux platforms (free md5sum applications are available also under Windows™ Operating System).
If a file reported in the MD5SUM list is already present into the gateway file-system with the same MD5 value, the software update module will skip the download of this file; otherwise it will download it.
Two files with special names are processed as follows:
- default_button.cfg - This is placed in a special partition. Refer to 1.1.11.
- bootstrap.cfg - This automatically becomes the startup-config. Refer to 1.1.11.
1.6.3 Listing Configuration Files
To list the .cfg files and their size in bytes, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# dir
The output lists files and directories in order of modification date, descending. It looks like this:
9748 default.cfg
13320 default_button.cfg
13320 test.cfg
awplus#
1.6.4 Creating and Using Configuration Files
This section provides instructions on:
- Creating a configuration file
- Specifying the start-up configuration script
• Working with configuration files
Note: Configuration files must end with '.cfg'.
1.6.5 Creating a configuration file
A configuration file is a text file that contains a sequence of standard cli commands or an xml file. Configuration files have a .cfg extension. Your device has a default configuration script called default.cfg.
awplus# show file default.cfg
username manager privilege 15 password friend
username admin privilege 9 password admin
interface vlan1
ip address dhcp
exit
service http
service telnet
service ssh
When the device starts by using a boot cli command, a file named cli_boot_result.txt is created in order to debug errors in the configuration file. (This file is also present in tech-support)
The default_button.cfg could also be saved in a cli format.
Please note that cli files are "read only" (it is not possible to edit a cli file from a device). To modify a cli file it is necessary to import a new modified cli file.
If you try to save a boot cli file via WEB/tr69, a file named unnamed.cfg in xml format will be saved.
You can create and edit configuration files on your device by:
- saving the dynamic configuration on the device, known as the running-config (see Working with configuration files). Use the command:
awplus# copy running-config <filename.cfg>
Where
- creating a file on a remote PC, then copying it to onto your device. See Copying files for more information about using the copy commands.
Once you have created a configuration file, you can use it as the startup-config file. See Specifying the start-up configuration script for more information.
Note: You cannot edit a configuration file.
Note: Configurations are created for a particular device-type, and can only be loaded on devices of that type.
Note: Any configuration file written as a CLI sequence of commands MUST include the following: service telnet service http service ssh
1.6.6 Specifying the start-up configuration script
When you restart your device, or when it automatically restarts, it loads the config known as the boot config or startup-config file.
When you first start your device, the script set as the startup-config file is default.cfg. If desired, you can overwrite default.cfg with another configuration. Alternatively, you can change the startup-config by specifying a new file as the startup-config. Use the command:
awplus(config)# boot config-file <filename.cfg>
where filename.cfg specifies the name and location of a configuration file. At the next restart, the device loads the config in the specified file.
You can change the content of the file set as the startup-config file by:
- entering commands directly into the CLI, then saving this configuration using the command:
awplus# copy running-config startup-config
This command saves the device's dynamic configuration into the file that is currently configured as the startup-config file.
- writing commands into a configuration file (see Creating a configuration file below), then using the command:
awplus# copy SOURCE-URL startup-config
This command saves the script from the source file into the file that is currently configured as the startup-config file.
To display the name of the configuration file that is set to execute when the device restarts, enter the command:
awplus# show boot
To see the config in the startup-config file, use the command:
awplus# show startup-config
To erase the file set as the startup-config file, use the command:
awplus# erase startup-config
At the next restart that occurs, the device will first attempt to load default_button.cfg. If that is not present it will then fallback to default.cfg. See section "Start-up Sequence".
Note: When configuring the device using the Web GUI or a TR-069 tool, each configuration action results in a save. If the startup configuration is the default.cfg, then a new config is created named unnamed.cfg and that is set as the startup configuration. If the unnamed.cfg file is present and is a CLI file, Web GUI and TR-069 cannot be saved.
1.6.7 Working with configuration files
When you use the CLI or GUI to configure your device, it stores this dynamic configuration called the running-config. To view the device's running-config, use the command:
awplus# show running-config
If you turn off the device or restart it, any unsaved changes to the running-config are lost. To save the running-config as a configuration script, use the command:
awplus# copy running-config <filename>.cfg
You may have many configuration files. Storing them on a device allows you to keep a backup device with configuration scripts for every device in the network to speed up network recovery time.
1.6.8 The configuration file fallback order
The configuration fallback order is:
- configuration file
• default button configuration file
• the factory default configuration.
It is important to note the there is a distinction in system behavior between these when writing to the startup-config file and when the system boots up.
When you copy a configuration script from a source file into the startup-config file the system will write to the specified startup config. (The user must specify the startup config.)
At system startup the device goes through the fallback sequence until it finds a file that exists and is valid. For example, if the configuration file is not found then the backup configuration file becomes the current boot configuration, or startup-config, and so on. In the output displayed by the show boot command, the Current boot config parameter shows the startup-config file that the switch will load during the next boot cycle. The fallback sequence when configuration files are deleted is shown below in output from the show boot command.
In the example output below, the current boot configuration file, test.cfg, is set. This is the startup-config file that the device loads at the next boot cycle.
awplus# show boot
Boot configuration
Current software : [partition 2] AT-iMG2500-4.3_112
Current boot image : [partition 2] AT-iMG2500-4.3_112 (AtiBcm-4.3_112)
Backup boot image : [partition 1] AT-iMG2500-4.2.3 (AtiBcm-4.2.3)
Default boot config: default.cfg
Backup boot config: default_button.cfg (file exists)
Current boot config: 3play-sip.cfg (file exists)
Reset startup-config (which was test.cfg) to the backup configuration file (default_button.cfg). Note that test.cfg is not deleted – it is simply no longer marked as the startup-config.ig.
awplus# do show boot
Boot configuration
----
Current software : [partition 2] AT-iMG2500-4.3_112
Current boot image : [partition 2] AT-iMG2500-4.3_112 (AtiBcm-4.3_112)
Backup boot image : [partition 1] AT-iMG2500-4.2.3 (AtiBcm-4.2.3)
Default boot config: default.cfg
Backup boot config: default_button.cfg (file exists)
Current boot config: 3play-sip.cfg (file exists
At system startup the switch will load the default button or the default configuration file as the startup-config.
1.6.9 Copying Files To and From Your Device
This section provides instructions on:
- URL syntax
- Copying files
1.6.10 URL syntax
Many of the file management commands use the placeholder "URL" to represent the name and location of the file that you want to act on. The following table explains the syntax of this URL for each different type of file location.
Note: Only the tftp:// URL type is supported.
Table 1-8: Location of Common Files
| When you copy a file... Use this syntax: | |
| Copying with Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) | tftp://LOCATION/[DIRECTORY]/FILENAME |
1.6.11 Copying files
To copy files, use the copy commands. These commands allow you to copy files:
To copy a file, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy <source-filename>
<destination-filename>
If the file already exists, the user must delete the file before trying again.
Note: There is no file system; there is a single directory where all files reside.
I.6.11.1 Copying with Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
TFTP runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It is simpler and faster than FTP but has minimal capability, such as no provisions for user authentication. Two examples on how to copy a configuration file from the TFTP server to the iMG and how to copy a show-tech report file from the iMG to a TFTP server are the following:
To copy a config file from a TFTP server to the iMG, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy tftp://<server address>/[server path/] <serverfilename>.cfg <localfilename>.cfg
To copy a show-tech file from the iMG to a TFTP server, enter Privileged Exec Mode and enter the command:
awplus# copy <show-techfilename> tftp://<server address>/[server path/]<servershow-techfilename>
1.7 File Management Commands
1.7.1 File Management Commands
This chapter provides an alphabetical reference of commands used for file management.
Note: Many of the commands in this chapter use the placeholder "URL" to represent the name and location of the file that you want to act on. The following table explains the syntax of this URL for each different type of file location
Table 1-9: URL Syntax and Keyword Usage
| When you copy a file... Use this syntax: | |
| In local memory | FILENAME |
| Using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) | http [://] [[USERNAME:PASSWORD]@] {HOSTNAME | HOST-IP} [/FILEPATH]/FILENAME |
| Using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) | tftp://LOCATION/[DIRECTORY/]FILENAME |

CLOCK SET
Syntax
clock set
Description
This command sets the time and date for the system clock.
Configure the timezone before setting the local time. Otherwise, when you change the timezone, the device applies the new offset to the local time. Note that in 4.1 seconds is always set at 00.
Feature System Configuration and Monitoring Commands
Mode Global Configuration Mode
Release 4.1
Options
| Option Description Range | Default Value | ||
| Local | time in 24-hour format NA NA | ||
| Day of the current month <1-31> | NA | NA | |
| The first three letters of the current month.The first letter must be capitalized. | NA NA | ||
| Current year <2000-2035> | NA | NA | |
Note
If Network Time Protocol (NTP) is enabled, then you cannot change the time or date using this command. NTP maintains the clock automatically using an external time source. If you wish to manually alter the time or date, you must first disable NTP.
Example To set the time and date on your system to 2pm on the 3rd of November 2011, use the command:
awplus(config)# clock set 14:00 03 Nov 2011
CLOCK SUMMER-TIME
Syntax
clock summer-time
no clock summer-time
Description
This command enables the management of the daylight saving time. Once this command has been typed, the summertime will start and stop automatically, depending on the time zone set via clock timezone (see next pages). The no variant of this command disables the summertime management and returns to the default.
By default, the device has summertime management disabled.
Feature System Configuration and Monitoring Commands
Mode Global Configuration Mode
Release 4.1
Options NA
Note NA
Example To start summertime management, use the command:
awplus(config)# clock summer-time
Example To stop summertime management, use the command:
awplus(config)# no clock summer-time
CLOCK TIMEZONE
Syntax
clock timezone
no clock timezone
Description
This command defines the device's clock timezone. The timezone is set as an offset to the UTC.
The no variant of this command resets the time zone to UTC (+00:00).
By default, the system time is set to UTC.
Configure the timezone before setting the local time. Otherwise, when you change the timezone, the device applies the new offset to the local time.
If summertime management is enabled, the summertime will follow the rules applied in the time zone set, without the need to specify them.
In the table below, the available time zones are listed. Note that 'Abbreviation' corresponds to the parameter

HOSTNAME
Syntax
hostname
Description
This command sets the name applied to the device as shown at the prompt. The hostname is:
• displayed in the output of the show system command
- displayed in the CLI prompt so you know which device you are configuring
- stored in the MIB object sysName
Use the no variant of this command to reset the hostname to the default value (awplus).
The prompt has a fixed maximum length. If the hostname is too long to be fully displayed within the prompt it will be truncated and have "." appended to indicate this. The CLI submode will always be displayed in full - so the degree of truncation of the hostname will vary between submodes. Refer to the example below.
To specify or modify the host name, use the hostname global configuration command. The host name is used in prompts and default configuration filenames.
The name must also follow the rules for ARPANET host names. The name must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and use only letters, digits, and hyphens, and contain no spaces. Refer to RFC 1035.

1.9 Software Update
1.9.1 Introduction
The iMG supports several different means of software update:
- The CLI copy command may be used to download a specific software image from a remote tftp server using a tftp://
URI. See section How to Upgrade the Firmware. - The TR-69 Download method may be invoked by an ACS to force the iMG to download a specific software image. Refer to your ACS documentation.
- The iMG can be configured to check a remote tftp server for updated software and/or configuration files whenever a DHCP lease is obtained or renewed.
- The CLI swupdate command can be used to check a remote ftp server for updated software and/or configuration files.
This section describes the swupdate command. This command allows the user to configure & initiate the downloading of updated software and/or configurations from a remote ftp server by means of a list file containing file names & corresponding MD5 checksums.
When the swupdate now command is invoked, the iMG attempts to download a file named MD5SUM from the ftp server. The contents of this file is then used to determine which (if any) software and/or configuration files available on the ftp server are not already present on the iMG, and then those files not already present are downloaded.

Options
| Option Description Range | Default Value | |
| noreboot Prevents the iMG from automatically rebooting if one or more files have been downloaded. | NA NA |
Note - If the swupdate now command downloads a configuration file named 'bootstrap.cfg', this file will be set as the startup-config (i.e. it will be the configuration loaded when the iMG is restarted).
- If the swupdate now command downloads one or more files - on completion of the download the iMG will by default reboot. You can use the swupdate now noreboot variant to prevent this automatic reboot. If no new software or configurations are downloaded no reboot will occur.
- The swupdate client will down load a maximum of one software image per-invocation (this constraint does not apply to configuration files). If you wish to upgrade both image partitions you should invoke the swupdate now command twice (allowing the iMG to reboot between invocations).
- If a voice call is in progress and this command is entered, the device performs the upgrade but not the restart until the call is taken down.
Example To download the software and prevent the automatic reboot, use the following commands:
awplus(config)# swupdate now noreboot

1.10 Debugging and Logging
1.10.1 Introduction
The AT iMG software has a comprehensive debugging and logging facility in various subsystems and components. This chapter describes how to start/stop debugging and logging.
Warning: At the Privileged Exec Mode, the User can enter a proprietary debug level via the "debug" command – and gain access to a lower level command set. Only use this command when instructed to do so by Allied Telesis personnel.
1.10.2 Debugging
Many subsystems have debug commands. Debug commands, used with parameters, log subsystem-specific information at a specific severity level.
The system is always writing logs at the error severity level for all subsystems, and is the default log stream. On using a debug command, another stream is added to this default log stream, and this stream continues to generate output until the no parameter is used with the command.
Note: Log generation is always on, and by default all logs are error.
Note: It is possible to change some logs to notice or debug; no debug all restores all to the default level of error.
Note: With voice logs, specific subsystems are enabled individually, while the overall log level is controlled as above. Prior to setting the voip log level to debug or notice, it is recommended to disable all voip subsystems, and then enable the specific underlying one that you want --- i.e.
no debug voip
debug voip category aep
Note: To specify where logging output is sent, use the log commands, explained below.
To turn on debugging for a subsystem at a specified severity level, use the command debug. For example;
awplus(config)# debug igmp level notice
The subsystems that are available are:
- access Intrusion attempt of a not permitted host
- all All applications
• hpna Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) - httpd Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
• igmp Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - looproot Loop-protection
- pppoe Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
- snmpd Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- sshd Secure Sheel Server
- swupdate Software Update Application
• telnetd Terminal Emulation Server
• voip Voice over IP (VOIP)
• tr69 Broadband Forum TR-69 Remote Management Protocol (TR-69)
- upnp Enable logging for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Also included is access, for attempted intrusions. This is not specifically a subsystem but deals with security.
The severity levels in order are as follows. (The error set is the smallest, with notice including error and debug including notice.)
- error
- notifications (notice)
- debugging (debug)
To turn off debugging, use the no debug command. When a subsystem is specified with the no debug command, debugging is stopped for the specified subsystem. To stop all debugging except for the default stream, use the all parameter.
awplus(config)# no debug all
1.10.3 Logging
The log messages as they are processed can be sent to a log server or to the terminal. (In a future release, the log messages can be sent to a host based on the subsystem and severity level.)
The following types of logging output are available:
- terminal
- host
Note: Terminal log and console log cannot be set at the same time. If console logging is enabled then the terminal logging is turned off.
The buffered log is a file stored in persistent memory on the device. Because it is stored in RAM its content will survive (or persist) a restart, but will not survive a power cycle of the device. A device can only have one instance of the buffered log. The buffered log is enabled by default and has a filter to include messages with a severity level of 'notifications' and above.
1.10.3.1 Example - Creating a Log Stream that includes igmp and is displayed at the terminal monitor
- Turn on the debug options by using the relevant debug command at the config level.
awplus(config)# debug igmp level debug
- Run the terminal monitor command to send output to the terminal
awplus# terminal monitor
This is a sample output of the debug igmp events command displayed on the terminal:
awplus#terminal monitor
Dec 2 16:41:49 localhost IGMP[6518]: IGMP: IGMP message sent to 10.10.23.60/32 via interface vlan2
Dec 2 16:41:57 localhost IGMP[6518]: IGMP: Received an IGMP message of type IGMP Reservation from 192.168.0.60 via interface vlan2
Dec 2 16:41:57 localhost IGMP[6518]: IGMP: Received a IGMP message from 10.10.23.60/32
I.10.3.2 Logging of Executed Commands (Info level)
To track command input, each executed command is logged as an Info level log (although they are not true Info level logs), and includes the user-id of the user who executed the command. Also included is the command's status value (whether the command succeeded).
Note: These executed commands are always created, and are not affected by the log level.
An example of this log is as follows;
Jan 1 00:00:45 (none) user.info awp_cli: User manager executed "enable". Returned CParser_OK. 100
Jan 1 00:00:52 (none) user.info awp_cli: User manager executed "terminal monitor". Returned CParser_OK. 111
For reboots, the log shows that the reboot was caused by a command, but not the user-id.
Note: For reboots the log can show the source of the reboot, which may not be with a command. Sources can be:
- CLI command
- WEB command
- TR69 command
- SWUPDATE command
- Voice command
1.10.3.3 Duplicate Logs Suppressed
When a duplicate log is produced, it a suppressed and counted until a different message is received. When there is a new message, "Previous message duplicated x times" is printed. Following is an example:
Dec 1 11:04:33 (none) user.info awp_cli: User manager executed "hostname pippol". Returned CParser_OK. 109
Dec 1 11:04:39 (none) user.info Previous message duplicated 3 times 74
Note: Timestamps are ignored in the string comparison. Also, the last digit is the length of the log message and is not part of the log.
I.10.3.4 Logging of voip Subsystem
For the voip subsystem, there are several categories (mgcp, aep, etc.). By default, all the voip logs are enabled at the error level. To control the voip logging, the user should disable all voip logs and enable them selectively at the appropriate level. Refer to Voice Service Logging.
1.10.3.5 Host log
A host log sends log messages to a remote syslog server. A device may have many syslog hosts configured. To configure or remove a host use the commands:
log host <ip_address>
no log host
where
It is not possible to view the log messages sent to this type of output as they are not retained on the device. They must be viewed on the remote device. The other host log commands are:
show log config
which shows what is on the syslog server.

1.12 Interfaces
1.12.1 PPPoE
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), as defined in RFC 1661, allows data transmission over serial (point-to-point) connections. A common use for PPP is for ISPs to provide dial-up access for their customers to the internet. Authentication is through user id/password.
To control this point-to-point connection, PPP uses a set of symmetric peer-to-peer protocols, including:
- Link Control Protocol (LCP) - This is used to initiate and terminate connections, and allows the peers to negotiate connection options.
- Network Control Protocol (NCP) - This is used after LCP has successfully set up a connection and is used to negotiate network layer information.
The iMG supports PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) - RFC 2516 defines how PPPoE allows connection of a network of hosts over a layer 2 access device to a remote Access Concentrator. Generally speaking, PPPoE is used to assign IP addresses to clients based on the user authentication as opposed to open connections where static IP addresses or DHCP are used. To provide the point-to-point connection over Ethernet, each PPP session must learn the Ethernet address of the remote peer, as well as establish a unique Session Identifier.
Refer to PPPoE for more information.
1.12.2 HPNA
The AT-iMG2524H model is designed to support HPNA interface v3.1 (12-44 MHz) in Master Mode.
Up to 8 HPNA stations can be managed by the master node on iMG2524H.
The following is a typical application scenario where HPNA is used

2. Routing
The Layer3 functionality of the iMG includes the following:
- Introduction
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• Dynamic DNS (ddns)
• Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) - Checking IP Connections (ping and traceroute)
• Layer 3 Routing Command List
• IPv6 - IPv6 Command List
2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to configure IPv4 addressing and the protocols used to help IP function on your network.
As well as the familiar Internet, with uppercase "I", the term internet (with lowercase "i") can refer to any network (Local [LAN] or wide area network [WAN]) that uses the Internet protocol. This chapter concentrates on this definition-a generalized network that uses IP as its transport protocol.
2.1.1 Assigning an IP Address
To configure your device to perform IP routing (for example, to access the Internet) you need to configure IP. You also need to configure IP if you want to manage your device from any IP-based management process (such as SSH, Telnet, or SNMP).
Add an IP address to each of the interfaces that you want to process IP traffic.
You can configure an interface on your device with a static IP address, or with a dynamic IP address assigned using your device's DHCP client. Moreover, you can provision subinterfaces, allowing additional addressable entities. Both static and dhcp apply to these interfaces.
2.1.2 Static IP addresses
To add a static IP address to an interface, enter interface mode for the interface that you want to configure, then use the command:
awplus(config-if)# ip address <ip-addr/prefix-length>
where
For example, to give the interface vlan I an address of 192.168.10.10, with a class C subnet mask, use the command:
awplus (config)# interface vlan1
awplus(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.10/24
2.1.3 DHCP dynamic addresses
When you use the DHCP client, it obtains the IP address and subnet mask for the interface, and other IP configuration parameters, from a DHCP server. To configure an interface to gain its IP configuration using the DHCP client, use the command:
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
If an IP interface is configured to get its IP address and subnet mask from DHCP, the interface does not take part in IP routing until the IP address and subnet mask have been set by DHCP.
If you need to make a static entry in your DHCP server for the device, you need your device's MAC address, which you can display by using the command:
awplus# show interface
2.2 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used by your device to dynamically learn the layer 2 address of devices in its networks. Most hosts also have a MAC physical address in addition to the assigned IP address. For Ethernet, this is a 6-byte, globally unique number: ARP enables your device to learn the physical address of the host that has a given IP address.
When your device needs to forward packets to a destination that it does not know the layer 2 address of, it broadcasts an ARP request to determine where to send the packet. The ARP request is a broadcast packet and includes the target IP address. All stations on the LAN receive this broadcast but only one host recognizes its own IP address. It replies, thereby giving your device its physical address.
Your device creates a dynamic ARP entry in its ARP cache, to record the IP address to physical address mapping (also called a binding). It uses that ARP entry to forward further packets to that address.
The ARP protocol is described in RFC 826, An Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol—or—Converting Network Protocol Addresses to 48 bit Ethernet Address for Transmission on Ethernet Hardware.
2.3 Domain Name System (DNS)
The Domain Name System allows you to access remote systems by entering human-readable device host names rather than IP addresses. DNS works by creating a mapping between a device name, such as “www.alliedtelesis.com”, and its IP address. These mappings are held on DNS servers. The benefits of DNS are that domain names:
- can map to a new IP address if the host's IP address changes
• are easier to remember than an IP address - allow organizations to use a domain name hierarchy that is independent of any IP address assignment
2.3.1 Domain name parts
Domain names are made up of a hierarchy of two or more name segments. Each segment is separated by a period. The format of domain names is the same as the host portion of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The first segment from the left is unique to the host, with each following segment mapping the host in the domain name hierarchy. The segment on the far right is a top-level domain name shared by many hosts.
2.3.2 Server hierarchy
A network of domain name servers maintains the mappings between domain names and their IP addresses. This network operates in a hierarchy that is similar to the structure of the domain names. When a local DNS server cannot resolve your request it sends the request to a higher level DNS server.
For example, to access the site “alliedtelesis.com”, your PC sends a DNS query to its local DNS server asking for the IP address matching alliedtelesis.com. If this address is already locally cached (following its recent use), the DNS server returns the IP address that matches alliedtelesis.com. If the DNS server does not have this address cached, it forwards the request upwards through the hierarchy of DNS servers until a DNS server can resolve the mapping. This means an often-used domain name is resolved quickly, while an uncommon or nonexistent domain may take longer to resolve or fail.
As well as the hierarchy of domain name servers accessible through the Internet, you can operate your own DNS server to map to private IP addresses within your network.
2.3.3 DNS Client
The Allied Telesis Gateway has a DNS Client that is enabled automatically when you add a DNS server to your device. This client allows you to use domain names instead of IP addresses when using commands on your device.
To add a DNS server to the list of servers that the device sends DNS queries to, use the command:
awplus(config)# ip name-server (IPv4)
To check the list of servers that the device sends DNS queries to, use the command:
awplus# show ip name-server (ipv4)
To add a default domain name used to append to DNS requests, use the command:
awplus(config)# ip domain-name <domain-name>
For example, to use DNS to match hostnames to your internal network "example.net", use the command:
awplus(config)# ip domain-name example.net
If you then use the command ping host2, your device sends a DNS request for host2.example.net. To check the domain name configured with this command, use the command:
awplus# show ip domain-name
Alternatively you can create a list of domain names that your device will try in turn by using the command:
awplus(config)# show ip domain-list <domain-name>
For example, to use DNS to match incomplete hostnames to the top level domains “.com”, and “.net”, use the commands:
awplus(config)# ip domain-list .com
awplus(config)# ip domain-list .net
If you then use the command ping alliedtelesis, your device sends a DNS request for alliedtelesis.com and if no match was found your device would then try alliedtelesis.net. To check the entries in the domain list, use the command:
awplus# show ip domain-list
To check the status of the DNS Client on your device, and the configured servers and domain names, use the command:
awplus# show hosts
2.3.4 Dynamic DNS (ddns)
Dynamic DNS (ddns) is a feature that allows remote hosts to connect to your home web server (such as a game server). This feature works with ddns providers (tzo and dyndds), which have the ip address/domain name association. (They are not limited to these two.) Whenever the IP address changes, the iMG informs the provider of this change. The provider then updates their dns servers; the remote hosts have their associations updated and can then access the (same) domain name using the new ip address.
Note: The ddns feature can be placed on a subvlan as well. Refer to Multiple IP Addresses on a Subinterface (subvlan).
2.3.5 DHCP options
When your device is using its DHCP client for an interface, it can receive the following DHCP options from the DHCP server:
Option 6 - a list of DNS servers. This list appends to the DNS servers set on your device with the ip name-server command.
Option 3 - routers
Option 15 - a domain name used to resolve host names. This option replaces the domain name set with the ip domain-name command.
Option 43 - ACS-TR-069 - This is for vendor-specific information, and contains the url for remote management.
Option 61 - This is the default client-id and is a combination of mac and vlan.
Refer to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for more information.
To configure DHCP client id option with a free form string, use the command:
awplus(config-if))# ip dhcp client client-id
To configure DHCP client id option with IAID-RFC3315, use the command:
awplus(config-if))# ip dhcp client client-id IAID F0F0ABC
To configure DHCP client request options, use the command:
awplus(config-if))# ip dhcp client request 6
2.4 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) allows networking devices to send information and control messages to other devices or hosts. Your device implements all non-obsolete ICMP functions.
The following table lists the ICMP messages implemented by your device.
Table 2-1: ICMP Messages
| ICMP Message Type Device Response | |
| Echo reply (0) This is used to implement the ping command. Your device sends out an echo reply in response to an echo request. | |
| Destination unreachable (3) | This message is sent when your device drops a packet because it did not have a route to the destination. |
| Redirect (5) | Your device issues this message to inform a local host that its target is located on the same LAN (no routing is required) or when it detects a host using a non-optimal route (usually because a link has failed or changed its status).For example, if your device receives a packet destined to its own MAC address, but with a destination IP address of another host in the local subnet, it returns an ICMP redirect to the originating host.ICMP redirects are disabled on interfaces on which local proxy ARP is enabled. |
| Echo request (8) This is related to echo replies. If your device receives an echo request, it sends an echo reply. If you enter the ping command, your device generates echo requests. | |
| Time to Live Exceeded (11) | If the TTL field in a packet falls to zero, your device sends this message. This occurs when there are too many hops in the path that a packet is traversing. |
ICMP messages are enabled on all interfaces by default. You can control the flow of ICMP messages across different interfaces using the Access Control List (ACL).
2.5 Checking IP Connections (ping and traceroute)
To verify connections between networks and network devices, use the ping (Packet Internet Groper) and trace route functions on your device.
2.5.1 Ping
Ping tests the connectivity between two network devices to determine whether each network device can “see” the other device. Echo request packets are sent to the destination addresses and responses are displayed on the console.
If you can ping the end destination, then the physical, Layer 2 and Layer 3 links are functioning, and any difficulties are in the network or higher layers.
If pinging the end destination fails, use traceroute to discover the point of failure in the route to the destination.
To ping a device, use the commandping (ipv4). Note that this command has options for IPv6 (refer to IPv6).
2.5.2 Traceroute
You can use traceroute to discover the route that packets pass between two systems running the IP protocol. Traceroute sends an initial UDP packets with the Time To Live (TTL) field in the IP header set starting at 1. The TTL field is increased by one for every subsequent packet sent until the destination is reached. Each hop along the path between two systems responds with a TTL exceeded packet (ICMP type 11) and from this the path is determined.
To use traceroute, use the command:
awplus# traceroute {<hostname>|<ipaddr>}
Note: This command has options for IPv6 (refer to traceroute ipv6).
2.6 Multiple IP Addresses on a Subinterface (subvlan)
2.6.1 Overview
The iMG can be configured in different ways to match the requirements of a service provider (or providers). The different services (voice, data, video, mgmt) usually exist on different subnets and are configured so that there is one VLAN/IP address per service. (This model is used in the configuration example in Example Configuration.)
There is also the case where a provider wishes to have only one vlan interface for all services. To make this possible, the network interface can have one VLAN (such as vlan1), with its associated IP address, and a sub-vlan interface, with each subvlan having its own IP address. These sub-vlan interfaces are named as vlan1.1, vlan1.2, etc. up to vlan1.31.
Refer to the following figure.
Note that for certain services are based on a single interface and so cannot use sub-vlans:
• IGMP
- NAT/Firewall
- Access List

FIGURE 2-1 Example Configuration using sub-vlans
2.6.2 Creating a sub-vlan
After creating the sub-vlan, the user inputs the interface command using the sub-vlan, and enters the (config-subif) level. Once at this level, the same types of commands are available as at the interface level. Following is an example sequence.
awplus(config-if)# interface vlan1.1 (vlan1 exists, creates additional ip interface) awplus(config-subif)# ip address dhcp (command is at the config-subif level) awplus(config-subif)# ip dhcp client request 3
2.6.3 Features that use subvlans
It is possible to use subinterfaces with the following features:
• IP Address management
- DHCP
- DDNS
- ping
- Route Tables
- TR69
Voip
- Telnet/SSH/http
The following features do not use subinterfaces (main interface only):
• IGMP
- NAT/Firewall and access lists (are all based on base interface)
The commands include subinterface parameters and outputs when they can be used.

2.8 IPv6
2.8.1 Overview
IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP). It has primarily been developed to solve the problem of the eventual exhaustion of the IPv4 address space, but also offers other enhancements. IPv6 addresses are 16 bytes long, in contrast to IPv4's 4 byte addresses. Other features of IPv6 include:
- Address structure improvements:
- globally unique addresses with more levels of addressing hierarchy to reduce the size of routing tables
• autoconfiguration of addresses by hosts - improved scalability of Multicast routing by adding a "scope" field to Multicast addresses
- Removes the need for packet fragmentation en-route, by dynamic determination of the largest packet size that is supported by every link in the path. A link's MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) must be at least 1280 bytes, compared with 576 bytes for IPv4.
- Includes a Traffic Class that allow packets to be labeled with an appropriate priority. If the network becomes congested, the lowest priority packets are dropped.
- Includes Flow labels that indicate to intermediate switches and routers that packets are part of a flow, and that a particular flow requires a particular type of service. This feature enables, for example, real-time processing of data streams. It also increases routing speed because the forwarding router need only check the flow label, not the rest of the header. The handling indicated by the flow label can be done by the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop header, or by a separate protocol such as RSVP.
- Mandatory authentication and data integrity protocols through IPsec. IPsec is optional in IPv4.
2.8.2 IPv6 Addresses and Prefixes
IPv6 addresses are hexadecimal, and are made up of eight pairs of octets separated by colons. An example of a valid address is 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0260:0000:97ff:64aa. In the interests of brevity, addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
- Leading zeros can be omitted, so this address can be written as 2001:db8:0:0:260:0:97ff:64aa.
- Consecutive zeros can be replaced with a double colon, so this address can be written as 2001:db8::260:0:97ff:64a. Note that a double colon can replace any number of consecutive zeros, but an address can contain only one double colon.
Like IPv4 addresses, a proportion of the left-most bits of the IPv6 address can be used to indicate the subnet, rather than a single node. This part of the address is called the prefix. Prefixes provide the equivalent functionality to a subnet mask in IPv4, allowing a subnet to be addressed, rather than a single node. If a prefix is specified, the IPv6 address is followed by a slash and the number of bits that represent the prefix. For example, 2001::/16 indicates that the first 16 bits (2001) of the address 2001:0:0:0:0:0:0 represent the prefix.
Like IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses are attached to interfaces.
2.8.3 Address Types
IPv6 supports the following address types:
- unicast
- Multicast
- Anycast
2.8.3.1 unicast addresses
A unicast address is attached to a single interface and delivers packets only to that interface. The following special addresses have been defined:
- IPv4-compatible and IPv4-mapped addresses. IPv4-compatible addresses are used to tunnel IPv6 packets across an IPv4 network. IPv4-mapped addresses are used by an IPv6 host to communicate with an IPv4 host. The IPv6 host addresses the packet to the mapped address.
Note: Tunneling of IPv6 through IPv4 or vice-versa is not supported in 4.2
- Link-local addresses can be used on the local network on which the interface is attached. The link-local prefix is fe80::/10. Different interfaces on a device may have the same link-local address. The iMG will automatically generate a link-local address for all interfaces that are using IPv6. Commands entered to configure link-local addresses that match any automatically generated link-local addresses by the switch will not be executed.
- Site-local - These are the equivalent of IPv4 private addresses. These cannot transmit from one site to another site without the use of a global IPv6 address.
- Global - These are the equivalent of public IPv4 addresses. Global addresses can be routed publicly in the Internet. Any device or site that wishes to transmit packets to another site must be uniquely identified with a global address.
2.8.3.2 Multicast addresses
IPv6 Multicast addresses provide the equivalent functionality to broadcast addresses in IPv4. Broadcast addresses are not supported in IPv6. A Multicast address identifies a group of interfaces, and packets are sent to all interfaces in that group.
Among the special addresses that have been defined are addresses that allow Multicasting to:
• All interfaces on a particular host (ff01::1)
• All nodes on a local network (ff01::2)
• All routers on the local link (ff02::2)
- All routers on the local site (ff05::2).
2.8.3.3 Anycast addresses
An anycast address is a unicast address that is attached to more than one interface. If a packet is sent to an anycast address it is delivered to the nearest interface with that address, with the definition of “nearest” depending on the protocol used for routing. If the protocol is RIPv6, the nearest interface is the one that is the shortest number of hops away.
Anycast addresses can be assigned to routers only, and packets cannot originate from an anycast address. A router must be configured to know that it is using an anycast address because the address format cannot be distinguished from that of a unicast address.
Only one anycast address has been predefined: the subnet-router address. The subnet-router address sends messages to the nearest router on a subnet and consists of the subnet's prefix followed by zeros.
Note: Assignment of anycast addresses is not supported in 4.2.
2.8.4 IPv6 Headers
The basic unit of data sent through an internet is called a packet in IPv6. A packet consists of a header followed by the data. The following table lists the IPv6 fields.
Table 2-3: IPv6 Field Descriptions
| Field Function | |
| Ver Version of the IP protocol that | created the packet. For IPv6, this field has a value of 6. |
| Differentiated Services 8-bit value that | contains the 6-bit DSCP and is used to prioritize traffic as part of a Quality of Service system. For more information, see “Differentiated Services Architecture” on page60.4. Additional information can be found in RFC 2474, Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 Headers. |
| Flow Label 20-bit value that indicates the data flow to which this packet belongs. This flow may be handled in a particular way. | |
| Payload Length Length of the user data portion of the packet. If the data payload is larger than 64 kB, the length is given in the optional “Jumbo Payload” header and the Payload Length header is given a value of zero. | |
| Next Header Number that indicates the type of header that immediately follows the basic IP header. This header type may be an optional IPv6 extension header, a relevant IPv4 option header, or another protocol, such as TCP or ICMPv6. The IPv6 extension header values are: - 0 (Hop-by-Hop Options Header) - 43 (IPv6 Routing Header) - 44 (IPv6 Fragment Header) - 50 (Encapsulating Security Payload) - 51 (IPv6 Authentication Header) - 59 (No Next Header) - 60 (Destination Options Header) | |
| Hop Limit Field that is the equivalent of the IPv4 Time To Live field, measured in hops. | |
Table 2-3: IPv6 Field Descriptions
| Field Function | |
| Source IP address 128-bit IPv6 address of the sender. | |
| Destination IP address 128-bit IPv6 address of the recipient. | |
| Optional extension headers Headers for less-frequently used information. | |
| User data Payload. | |
2.8.5 Basic IPv6 Header Structure
The headers contain information necessary to move the packet across the internet. They must be able to cope with missing and duplicated packets as well as possible fragmentation (and reassembly) of the original packet.
IPv6 headers are twice as long as IPv4 headers (40 bytes instead of 20 bytes) and contain four times the address space size (128 bits instead of 32 bits).
They no longer contains the header length, identification, flags, fragment offset, and header checksum fields. Some of these options are placed in extension headers. The Time To Live field is replaced with a hop limit, and the IPv4 Type of Service field is replaced with a Differentiated Services field. The Differentiated Services field contains the DSCP bits, used in a Quality of Service (QoS) regime. The following table explains IPv4 header fields that changed in IPv6.
Table 2-4: IPv6 Header Structure
| Field Function | |
| Type of Service The type of service | that a connection should receive is indicated in IPv6 by the Flow Label field in the IPv6 header. |
| Fragmentation information (the Identification field, the Flags field and the Fragment Offset field) | In most cases fragmentation does not occur in IPv6. If it does, packets are fragmented at their source and not en route. Therefore, the fragmentation information is contained in an extension header to reduce the size of the basic IPv6 header. |
| Header Checksum This option has | not been provided in IPv6. This is because transport protocols implement checksums and because of the availability of the IPsec authentication header (AH) in IPv6. |
| Options Extension headers handle | all the optional values associated with IPv6 packets. The biggest advantage of this scheme is that the size of the basic IP header is a constant. |
2.8.5.1 Extension Headers
IPv6 implements many of the less commonly used fields in the IPv4 header (or their equivalents) as extension headers, which are placed after the basic IPv6 header. The length of each header must be a multiple of 8 bytes.
The first extension header is identified by the Next Header field in the basic IPv6 header. Any subsequent extension headers are identified by an 8-bit "Next Header" value at the beginning of the preceding extension header.
IPv6 nodes that originate packets are required to place extension headers in a specific order:
- The basic IPv6 header. This must come immediately before the extension headers.
- The Hop-by-Hop header. This specifies options that must be examined by every node in the routing path.
Routing IPv6
- A Destination Options header. This is used to specify options to be processed by the first destination or final destination. The destination options header is the only extension header that may be present more than once in the IPv6 packet.
- The Routing header. This enables a static path to be specified for the packet, if the dynamically-determined path is undesirable.
- The Fragment header. This indicates that the source node has fragmented the packet, and contains information about the fragmentation.
- The Authentication header (AH). This verifies the integrity of the packet and its headers
- The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) header. This encrypts a packet and verifies the integrity of its contents.
- The Upper Layer Protocol header. This indicates which protocol a higher layer (such as the transport layer) is to process the packet with (for example, TCP).
2.8.6 The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6)
The Internet Control Message Protocol, ICMPv6, provides a mechanism for error reporting and route discovery and diagnostics. It also conveys information about Multicast group membership, a function that is carried out by the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) in IPv4, and performs address resolution, which the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs in IPv4.
Significant aspects of ICMPv6 include neighbor discovery, which enables one device in a network to find out about other nearby devices; and stateless address autoconfiguration, which allows a device to dynamically determine its own IPv6 address.
ICMPv6 is also used to support the Ping v6 (Packet Internet Groper) and Trace route v6 functions that are used to verify the connections between networks and network devices. Ping is used to test the connectivity between two network devices to determine whether each network device can “see” the other device. Trace route is used to discover the route used to pass packets between two systems running the IP protocol.
Both of these functions operate almost identically in IPv4 and IPv6. Refer to the ping ipv6 command.
2.8.6.1 Neighbor Discovery
Neighbor discovery is an ICMPv6 function that enables a router or a host to identify other devices on its links. This information is then used in address autoconfiguration, to redirect a node to use a more appropriate router if necessary, and to maintain reach ability information with its neighbors.
The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol is similar to a combination of the IPv4 protocols ARP, ICMP Router Discovery and ICMP Redirect.
The following table describes packet types involved with neighbor discovery.
Table 2-5: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Packet Types
| Packet Type Description | |
| router solicitation Packet in which a host sends out a request for routers to generate advertisements. | |
| router advertisement Allows routers to advertise their presence and other network parameters. A router sends an advertisement packet in response to a solicitation packet from a host. | |
| neighbor solicitation Packet in which a node sends a packet to determine the link layer address of a neighbor or to verify that a neighbor is still active. | |
| neighbor advertisement A response to a neighbor solicitation packet. These packets are also used to notify neighbors of link layer address changes. | |
Table 2-5: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Packet Types
| Packet Type Description | |
| redirect Informs hosts of a better first hop. | |
To comply with Section 6.2.1 of RFC 2461, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, the router does not generate router advertisements by default. The following table explains packet types and services.
Table 2-6: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Packet Types
| Packet Type Description | |
| address resolution A method for carrying out address autoconfiguration, and is achieved using the Neighbor Solicitation Message and the Neighbor Advertisement Message. | |
| router and prefix discovery On connection to a link, a node needs to know the address of a router that the node can use to reach the rest of the world. The node also needs to know the prefix (or prefixes) that define the range of IP addresses on its link that it can reach without going through a router.Routers use ICMP to convey this information to hosts, by means of router advertisements. The message may have an option attached (the source link address option), which enables the receiving node to respond directly to the router, without performing a neighbor solicitation. | |
| immediate information The configuration of a router includes a defined frequency at which unsolicited advertisements are sent. If a node wants to obtain information about the nearest router immediately, rather than waiting for the next unsolicited advertisement, the node can send a router solicitation message.Each router that receives the solicitation message sends a router advertisement specifically to the node that sent the solicitation. | |
| redirection If a node is aware of more than one router that it can use to connect to wider networks, the router to which it sends packets by default does not always represent the most desirable route.ICMPv6 uses the redirect packet to communicate a more effective path to the node. | |
| Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) | A node may issue solicitation requests to determine whether a path is still viable, or may listen in on acknowledgement packets of higher layer protocols, such as TCP. If the node determines that a path is no longer viable, it attempts to establish a new link to the neighbor, or to re-establish the previous link. NUD can be used between any two devices in the network, independent of whether the devices are acting as hosts or routers. |
2.8.7 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
Stateless address autoconfiguration allows an IPv6-aware device to be plugged into a network without manual configuration with an IP address. This plug and play functionality results in networks that are easier to set up and modify, and simplifies the process of shifting to use a new Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Stateless address autoconfiguration is achieved in a series of steps. Routers and hosts perform the first three steps, which auto configure a link-local address. A global address is auto configured in the last three steps, which only hosts perform.
2.8.7.1 On the Router or Host
- During system start-up, the iMG begins autoconfiguration by generating a link-local address for the interface. A link-local address is formed by adding the interface ID to the link-local prefix fe80::/10 (reference RFC 3513).
Note: Different interfaces on an iMG may have the same link-local address. The switch will automatically generate a link-local address for all interfaces that are using IPv6. Commands entered to configure link-local addresses that match any automatically generated link-local addresses by the switch will not be executed. Enter the show ipv6 interface brief command to display automatically generated link-local addresses. Automatically generated link-local addresses contain the last six hexadecimal numbers of the MAC address for a given interface.
- The node then transmits a neighbor solicitation message to this address. If the address is already in use, the node that the address belongs to replies with a neighbor advertisement message. The autoconfiguration process stops and manual configuration of the node is then required.
- If no neighbor advertisement is received, the node concludes that the address is available and assigns it to the chosen interface.
2.8.7.2 On the Host
I. The node then sends one or more router solicitations to detect if any routers are present. Any routers present responds with a router advertisement.
If no router advertisement is received, the node tries to use DHCP to obtain an address and other configuration information. If no DHCP server responds, the node continues using the link-level address
If a router advertisement is received, this message informs the node how to proceed with the auto configuration process. The prefix from the router advertisement, if received, is added to the link-level address to form the global unicast IP address.
- This address is then assigned to the network interface.
If routers are present, the node continues to receive router advertisements. The node updates its configuration when there are changes in the router advertisements.
2.8.8 IPv6 Routing
Routing in IPv6 is almost identical to IPv4 routing under CIDR, except that the addresses are 128-bit IPv6 addresses instead of 32-bit IPv4 addresses.
2.8.9 Integration of IPv4 and IPv6
IPv6 has been designed in such a way that a smooth transition from IPv4 is possible. The most effective way to ensure this is to use a dual IP stack. A node configured as a dual stack system has both a 128-bit IPv6 address and a 32-bit IPv4 address, and so can communicate with nodes running IPv4 and those running IPv6.
2.8.10 Enabling IPv6 on the iMG
This section describes the iMG's support for IPv6, and how to configure IPv6 on the iMG.
2.8.10.1 Enabling IPv6
The iMG's implementation of IPv6 is disabled by default on all interfaces. To enable IPv6 on an interface, use the ipv6 enable (config-if) or ipv6 address (config-if) command. To display information about IPv6 settings, use the show ipv6 interface brief command. Because the iMG implements IPv6 as a dual stack, implementing IPv6 does not affect IPv4 functionality.
IPv6 packet forwarding is also disabled by default. To enable IPv6 packet forwarding, use the ipv6 forwarding (config) command.
2.8.10.2 IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
The iMG's implementation of IPv6 supports SLAAC. To enable IPv6 SLAAC on an interface, use the ipv6 address (config-if) command with the autoconfig option. SLAAC uses the EUI-64 algorithm to populate the least significant 64 bits of the global unicast address. ipv6 address autoconfig automatically configures both an IPv6 link-local address and an IPv6 global unicast address, and also enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
2.8.10.3 IPv6 Link-local Addresses
The iMG's implementation of IPv6 supports enabling of IPv6 on an interface with only an IPv6 link-local addresses (i.e. no global unicast address) for communications within the local subnetwork. Routers do not forward packets to link-local addresses. To enable this mode, use the ipv6 enable (config-if) command. ipv6 enable automatically configures an IPv6 link-local address on the interface and enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
2.8.11 IPv6 and IPv4 on the iMG
In 4.2 both IPv4 and IPv6 can be configured on the iMG. The services each can support are as follows:
- Management of the iMG (using ssh, telnet, SNMP, HTTP and TR69) is by means of IPv4 only.
- VoIP support is by means of IPv4 only. (The SIP & MGCP applications do not currently support IPv6).
- Streaming video is by means of IPv4 (using IGMP) only.
- Routed IPv4 data, i.e. IPv4 internet using NAT.
- Routed IPv6 data, i.e. IPv6 internet using GUAs (globally unique addresses) on all interfaces. Note that IPv6 NAT is not supported on the iMG.
- Bridged data (layer 2). In this case the iMG is used simply as a layer 2 switch, and layer 3 (IPv4 and/or IPv6) packets are switched transparently by the iMG.

3. Switching
This section gives an overview about iMG physical interfaces and Layer 2 switching functionalities.
3.1 Physical Layer
3.1.1 Port attributes
Each physical data interface is univocally identified by a port number.
The software supports a number of features at the physical level that allow it to be connected in a variety of physical networks. Depending on the type of the of the physical interface there are a set of attributes that can be unique or common to each interface.
The following is an abstract of the attributes supported by each interface type:
| Port Type Attributes Supported | |
| LAN (copper) | Enabling/DisablingFixed speed: 10/100/1000Fixed duplex: half/fullSpeed AutonegotiationFlow ControlEgress/ingress rate limitingDefault CoS valueQoS method: CoS/ToSProtected/UnprotectedJumbo FrameQ-n-QMirrorLoop Protection |
| WAN (fiber) | Enabling/DisablingFixed speed: 100/1000Speed AutonegotiationFlow ControlEgress/ingress rate limitingDefault CoS valueQoS method: CoS/ToSProtected/UnprotectedJumbo FrameQ-n-QMirror |
| HPNA | Enabling/DisablingLoop Protection |
| Wi-Fi | Enabling/DisablingAuthentication & Encryption |
3.1.2 Port Numbering
Ports are numbered using a 3 digit format x.y.z where x is the device number (within a stacked configuration), y is the module number within the device, and z is the port number within the module. Ports connected directly to the switch chassis (rather than a pluggable module) are given the module number 0. In an unstacked configuration all device numbers are 1. For example, port number 1.0.6 represents device 1, module 0, port 6.
Note: On the iMG the device is always 1 and the module is always 0. The port numbering starts at 1, with the upper number depending on the number of ports. Therefore, on the iMG1505 the port range is port1.0.1 - port1.0.6, while on the 2505 it is port1.0.1 - port1.0.5.
Depending on the interface type we may have different port prefixes that are used to identify the port within the family:
- WAN/LAN interfaces (copper or active fiber) are referred as portX.Y.Z
• HPNA interfaces are referred as hpnaX.Y.Z - GPON interfaces (for future) are referred as gponX.Y.Z
- Wi-Fi interfaces (radio interfaces) are referred as dot1 radioX.Y.Z
The following table gives the current port names and port index ranges for the existing iMG models

3.1.3 Support for using Copper interface as WAN interface
Starting from Version 4.3.1 it will be possible to use also Copper as a WAN interface. (For example on Port 1.0.1)
3.1.4 SFP pluggable models compatibility
Starting from software release 4.3.2, the iMG models that are designed with WAN SFP (i.e. iMG1400 and iMG2400) have introduced a compatibility check function on the SFP module. Only SFP modules that are labeled Allied Telesis are allowed to be plugged in the SFP slot. In case a module is not recognized as belonging to the supported module list, a warning message is prompted any time a user logins and the same warning message is also tracked in the syslog file.
The following tables list the SFP modules supported by the iMG2426F model and the iMG1400 family:

For units that have been produced before release 4.3.2 and that are going to be upgraded, the existing SFPs will continue to work even if they are not Allied Telesis or their model is not in the above list. In this case only the warning message is printed but the SFP is not disabled.
3.1.5 Using Port ranges
When entering configuration commands it's possible to refer to more than one physical interface in the same command.
Two port syntax are supported:
- Continuous range
To configure a continuous range of ports at the same time, enter the range in the format:
portx.y.z-portx.y.z
For example, to configure the same interface setting on switch ports 1-3, enter the Global Configuration mode command:
awplus(config)#interface port1.0.1-port1.0.3
- Non-continuous
To configure a non-continuous set of ports at the same time, enter a comma-separated list:
portx.y.z,portx.y.z
For example, to configure the same interface setting on base switch ports 1 and 5, enter the Global Configuration mode command:
awplus(config)#interface port1.0.1,port1.0.5
It is possible to combine a hyphen-separated range and a comma-separated list. To configure the same setting on base switch ports 1-3 and 5, enter the Global Configuration mode command:
awplus(config)#interface port1.0.1-port1.0.3,port1.0.5
3.1.6 Activating and Deactivating Switch Ports
An active switch port is one that is available for packet reception and transmission. By default ports and VLANs are activated. To shutdown a port or VLAN use the shutdown command. Use the no variant of this command to reactivate it.
3.1.7 Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation lets the port adjust its speed and duplex mode to accommodate the device connected to it.
When the port connects to another autonegotiating device, they negotiate the highest possible speed and duplex mode for both of them.
By default, all ports autonegotiate. Setting the port to a fixed speed and duplex mode may be necessary when connecting to a device that cannot autonegotiate.
3.1.8 Duplex mode
Ports can operate in full duplex or half duplex mode depending on the type of port it is.
When in full duplex mode, a port transmits and receives data simultaneously.
When in half duplex mode, the port transmits or receives but not both at the same time.
You can set a port to use either of these options, or allow it to autonegotiate the duplex mode with the device at the other end of the link. To configure the duplex mode, use these commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# duplex {auto|full|half}
3.1.9 Speed options
Before configuring a port's speed, check the hardware limit for the particular port type. The following list can be used as a guide:
• RJ-45 copper switch ports: 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps
• supported dual-speed copper SFPs: 100 or 1000 Mbps
- fiber SFPs
For the latest list of approved SFP transceivers either contact your authorized distributor or reseller, or visit http://www.alliedtelesis.com
You can set a port to use one of these speed options, or allow it to autonegotiate the speed with the device at the other end of the link.
Most types of switch port can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode a port can transmit and receive data simultaneously. In half duplex mode the port can either transmit or receive, but not at the same time.
Make sure that the configuration of the switch matches the configuration of the device at the far end of the link.
In particular, avoid having one end autonegotiate duplex mode while the other end is fixed.
For example, if you set one end of a link to autonegotiate and fix the other end at full duplex, the autonegotiating end cannot determine that the fixed end is full duplex capable.
Therefore, the autonegotiating end selects half-duplex operation. This results in a duplex mismatch and packet loss.
To avoid this, either fix the mode at both ends, or use auto-negotiation at both ends.
For example to set the port speed to 1000 kbps on port11.0.1:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# speed 1000
3.1.10 Port Mirroring
Port mirroring enables traffic being received and transmitted on a switch port to be sent to another switch port, the mirror port, usually for the purposes of capturing the data with a protocol analyzer.
The mirror port is the only switch port that does not belong to a VLAN, and therefore does not participate in any other switching. Before the mirror port can be set, it must be removed from all trunk groups and all VLANs except the default VLAN.
Note: Due to the internal hardware properties of the switch, frames that are destined to leave the mirrored port untagged (i.e. will have their VLAN tag removed on egress) will be received by the mirror port with the tag retained.
Consequently, if frames were being transmitted by the mirror port (into the network) at wire speed, then the mirror port might be unable to accept all the frames supplied to it.
The following example sets port 1.0.2 to mirror the incoming and outgoing traffic on port 1.0.1:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2
awplus(config-if)# mirror interface port1.0.1
3.1.11 Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) enables you to both prioritize traffic and limit its available bandwidth. The concept of QoS is a departure from the original networking protocols, in which all traffic on the Internet or within a LAN had the same available bandwidth.
Without QoS, all traffic types are equally likely to be dropped if a link becomes oversubscribed. This approach is now inadequate in many networks, because traffic levels have increased and networks often carry time-critical applications such as streams of real-time video data.
QoS also enables service providers to easily supply different customers with different amounts of bandwidth.
In this release the iMG support port-based QOS, and P-Bit to DSCP Value queue mapping on the switch.
Key capabilities are:
• P-Bit to Queue Mapping
• DSCP Value to Queue Mapping
• P-Bit setting of incoming untagged traffic.
In a future release, there will be more control about traffic flows.
Configuring Quality of Service involves two separate stages:
-
Classifying traffic into flows, according to a wide range of criteria. Classification is performed by the switch's class maps.
-
Acting on these traffic flows.
The switch's QoS functionality includes the following:
- policies, to provide a QoS configuration for a port or ports
- traffic classes, for bandwidth limiting and user prioritization
• maximum bandwidth limiting on a traffic class - flow groups within traffic classes, for user prioritization
• control of the egress scheduling algorithm
• priority re-labelling of frames, at Layer 2, by replacing the VLAN tag User Priority field - class of service re-labelling of frames, at Layer 3, by replacing the DSCP (DiffServ Code Point) or the TOS precedence
- value in the IP header's Type of Service (TOS) field.
3.1.12 Loop Protection
Loop Protection is a feature designed to detect the packet loop caused by the network fault, and once a suspected loop-back condition has been detected, the software will attempt to remove the loop by disabling a switch port involved in the loop.
Loop detection works by sending Loop Detection Frames (LDFs) out from the switch ports.
The LDF is a layer 2 LLC frame with a unique MAC address of a non-existent end station.
If the switch receives the LDF it generated on the same VLAN that the LDF was originally transmitted on, then a loop must exist somewhere in the network that includes the ports of the switch.
Switching Physical Layer
Loop detection can be enabled and disabled, and on a per-port basis. The feature is disabled by default.
LDFs will be transmitted at a user configurable rate LDFInterval.
For the security, LDFs have an identifier field that is a randomly generated identifier code.
Loop detection validates the field in received LDF (for VLAN, each identifier will be kept for validation) is accepted and anything else is discarded. This prevents denial of service attacks.
Loop detection must be enabled and configured at global level by entering the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# loop-protection loop-detect
awplus(config-if)# loop-protection loop-detect ldf-interval 20
Then it must be enabled on port interfaces:
awplus# configure terminal1
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.4
awplus(config)# loop protection
3.1.13 HPNA Interface
In release 4.2 the iMG2524H model is introduced that includes an HPNA interface. Refer to Interfaces for a list of features.
3.1.14 Wireless Interface
In release 4.3 the iMGI425W model is introduced which includes an IEEE 802.11 wireless interface. Refer to Interfaces for a list of features.
3.1.15 The Layer 2 Switching Process
The Layer 2 switching process comprises these related but separate processes:
• The Ingress Rules
• The Learning Process
• The Forwarding Process
• The Egress Rules
Ingress rules admit or discard frames based on their VLAN tagging.
The Learning process learns the MAC addresses and VLAN membership of frames admitted on each port.
The Forwarding process determines which ports the frames are forwarded to, and the Quality of Service priority with which they are transmitted.
Finally, Egress rules determine for each frame whether VLAN tags are included in the Ethernet frames that are transmitted.
These processes assume that each station on the extended LAN has a unique data link layer address, and that all data link layer frames have a header which includes the source (sender's) MAC address and destination (recipient's) MAC address.
3.1.15.1 The Ingress Rules
All frames, tagged and untagged, that a VLAN-aware switch receives must be classified into a VLAN.
Each received frame is mapped to exactly one VLAN.
If an incoming frame is tagged with a valid VLAN identifier (VID) then that VID is used.
Switching Physical Layer
If an incoming frame is untagged or is priority tagged (a tagged frame with a VID of all zeros), then the switch uses internal VLAN association rules to determine the VLAN it belongs to.
The default setting for the ingress rules is to Admit All Frames.
Ingress Filtering is always disabled.
Every port belongs to one or more VLANs so every incoming frame has a VID to show which VLAN it belongs.
The final part of the Ingress Rules is Ingress Filtering, which is always disabled; frames are admitted even if they have a VID of a VLAN to which the port not belongs but that exists in the system VLAN database.
Each port on the switch can be configured to be one of two modes:
- only untagged frames - access mode
- tagged & untagged frames - trunk mode
3.1.15.2 Access Mode
This mode can be used to connect to VLAN unaware devices. Frames to and from access mode ports carry no VLAN tagging information.
3.1.15.3 Trunk Mode
This mode is used to connect VLAN capable devices. All devices that connect using trunk mode ports must be VLAN aware.
3.1.15.4 The Learning Process
- The learning process uses an adaptive learning algorithm, sometimes called backward learning, to discover the location of each station on the extended LAN.
All frames admitted by the ingress rules on any port are passed on to the forwarding process when they are for destinations in the same VLAN.
Frames destined for other VLANs are passed to a Layer 3 protocol, such as IP.
For every frame admitted, the frame's source MAC address and VID are compared with entries in the forwarding database for the VLAN (also known as a MAC Address table) maintained by the switch.
When the frame's source address is not in the forwarding database for the VLAN, the address is added and an ageing timer for that entry is started.
When the frame's source address is already in the forwarding database, the ageing timer for that entry is restarted.
By default, switch learning is enabled.
Switch Learning can be disabled with:
no mac address-table acquire
and re-enabled using:
mac address-table acquire.
If the ageing timer for an entry in the forwarding database expires before another frame with the same source address is received, the entry is removed from the forwarding database.
This prevents the forwarding database from being filled with information about stations that are inactive or have been disconnected from the network.
It also ensures that entries for active stations are kept alive in the forwarding database.
By default, the ageing timer is enabled with a default ageing-time.
Switching Physical Layer
The ageing timer can be reset to the default with the command:
no mac address-table ageing-time
The ageing timer can be increased or decreased using:
mac address-table ageing-time
If switch learning is disabled and the ageing timer has aged out all dynamically learned filter entries, only statically entered MAC source addresses decide the packets to forward or discard.
When the switch finds no matching entries in the forwarding database during the forwarding process, all switch ports in the VLAN are flooded with the packet, except the port that received it.
The default value for the mac address-table ageing-time is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
To set the mac address-table ageing-time to 1000 seconds:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# mac address-table ageing-time 1000
To display the settings for switch learning and the switch ageing timer, use the command:
awplus# show mac address-table ageing-time
MAC address learning is enabled.
Ageing time is 300 seconds.
3.1.15.5 The Forwarding Process
After a VID is assigned to a frame using the ingress rules, the switch forwards it to the destination MAC address specified in the frame.
To do this the switch must learn which MAC addresses are available on each port for each VLAN.
When the destination MAC address is not found, the switch floods the frame on all ports that are members of the VLAN except the port on which the frame was received.
The forwarding database (also known as the MAC Address table) determines the egress port on which the destination MAC address has been learned.
MAC addresses are learned dynamically as part of the layer two switching process.
The forwarding database is ordered according to MAC address and VLAN identifier.
This means a MAC address can appear more than once in the forwarding database having been learned on the same port but for different VLANs.
This could occur if the IP address of an end station is changed thereby moving the end station to a different IP subnet-based VLAN while still connected to the same switch port.
When the forwarding database ageing process is enabled, old entries in the forwarding database are deleted after a user-configurable period.
3.1.15.6 The Egress Rules
After the forwarding process has determined from which ports and transmission queues to forward a frame, the egress rules for each port determine whether the outgoing frame is VLAN-tagged with its numerical VLAN identifier (VID).
A port must belong to a VLAN at all times unless the port has been set as the mirror port for the switch.
A port can transmit VLAN-tagged frames for any VLAN to which the port belongs. A port can transmit untagged frames for any VLAN for which the port is configured, e.g. IP subnet-based or protocol-based, unless prevented by the port-based VLAN egress rules.
A port that belongs to a port-based VLAN can transmit untagged packets for only one VLAN.
3.1.15.7 Layer 2 Filtering
The switch has a forwarding database (also known as the MAC address table) whose entries determine whether frames are forwarded or discarded over each port.
Entries in the forwarding database are created dynamically by the learning process.
A dynamic entry is automatically deleted from the forwarding database when its ageing timer expires.
The forwarding database supports queries by the forwarding process as to whether frames with given values of the destination MAC address field should be forwarded to a given port.
For each VLAN, the destination MAC address of a frame to be forwarded is checked against the forwarding database.
If there is no entry for the destination address and VLAN, the frame is transmitted on all ports in the VLAN that are in the forwarding or disabled state, except the port on which the frame was received. This process is referred to as flooding.
If an entry is found in the forwarding database but the entry is not marked forwarding or the entry points to the same port the frame was received on, the frame is discarded. Otherwise, the frame is transmitted on the port specified by the forwarding database.
3.1.15.8 Ingress Filtering
Each port on the switch belongs to one or more VLANs. Since ingress filtering is always enabled, any frame received on the specified port is only admitted if its VID matches one for which the port is tagged.
Any frame received on the port is discarded if its VID does not match one for which the port is tagged. Untagged frames are admitted and are assigned the VLAN Identifier (VID) of the port's native VLAN.
3.1.15.9 IGMP Snooping
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used by IP hosts to report their multicast group memberships to routers and switches.
IP hosts join a multicast group to receive broadcast messages directed to the multicast group address. IGMP is an IP-based protocol and uses IP addresses to identify both the multicast groups and the host members.
For a VLAN-aware devices, this means multicast group membership is on a per-VLAN basis.
If at least one port in the VLAN is a member of a multicast group, by default multicast packets will be flooded onto all ports in the VLAN.
IGMP snooping enables the switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently on the switch.
The switch listens to IGMP membership reports, queries and leave messages to identify the switch ports that are members of multicast groups.
Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports identified as members of the specific multicast group.
IGMP snooping is performed at Layer 2 on VLAN interfaces automatically.
By default, the switch will forward traffic only from those ports with multicast listeners, therefore it will not act as a simple hub and flood all multicast traffic out all ports.
IGMP snooping is independent of the IGMP and Layer 3 configuration, so an IP interface does not have to be attached to the VLAN, and IGMP does not have to be enabled or configured.
IGMP snooping is disabled by default.
Refer to IGMP Snooping Introduction and Configuration for more information and commands.

FLOWCONTROL
Syntax
flowcontrol both no flowcontrol
Description
This command enables flow control, and configures the flow control mode for the switch port.
Use the no variant of this command to disable flow control for the specified switch port.
By default, flow control is enabled on all LAN ports, and disabled on the WAN interface.
The flow control mechanism specified by 802.3x is only for full duplex links. It operates by sending PAUSE frames to the link partner to temporarily suspend transmission on the link
Flow control enables connected Ethernet ports to control traffic rates during congestion by allowing congested nodes to pause link operation at the other end. If one port experiences congestion, and cannot receive any more traffic, it notifies the other port to stop sending until the condition clears. When the local device detects congestion at its end, it notifies the remote device by sending a pause frame. On receiving a pause frame, the remote device stops sending data packets, which prevents loss of data packets during the congestion period.

3.2 VLAN - General
3.2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes Virtual LANs (VLAN), VLAN features and configuration on the switch. For detailed descriptions of commands used to configure VLANs, see VLAN Commands.
3.2.2 Virtual LANs (VLANs)
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical, software-defined subnetwork. It allows similar devices on the network to be grouped together into one broadcast domain, irrespective of their physical position in the network. Multiple VLANs can be used to group workstations, servers, and other network equipment connected to the switch, according to similar data and security requirements.
Decoupling logical broadcast domains from the physical wiring topology offers several advantages, including the ability to:
- Move devices and people with minimal, or no, reconfiguration
- Change a device's broadcast domain and access to resources without physically moving the device, by software reconfiguration or by moving its cable from one switch port to another
• Isolate parts of the network from other parts, by placing them in different VLANs - Share servers and other network resources without losing data isolation or security
- Direct broadcast traffic to only those devices which need to receive it, to reduce traffic across the network
- Connect 802.1Q-compatible switches together through one port on each switch
Devices that are members of the same VLAN only exchange data with each other through the switch's layer 2 switching capabilities. To exchange data between devices that are located in different VLANs, the switch's layer 3 (routing) capabilities are used. The switch passes VLAN status information to the Internet Protocol (IP) module that indicates whether a VLAN is up or down. This information is used to determine route availability.
The device supports up to 4094 VLANs (the maximum allowed by the VID field in the 802.1Q tag). On some devices a few of these VLANs may be reserved for management purposes. When the switch is first powered up (and therefore unconfigured), it creates a default VLAN with a VID of 1 and an interface name of vlan1. In this initial condition, the switch attaches all its ports to this default VLAN. The default VLAN cannot be deleted, and ports can only be removed from it if they also belong to at least one other VLAN. If all the devices on the physical LAN belong to the same logical LAN, that is, the same broadcast domain, then the default settings will be acceptable, and no additional VLAN configuration is required.
3.2.3 Configuring VLANs
3.2.3.1 Defaults
By default, all switch ports are in access mode, are associated with the default VLAN (vlan1), and have ingress filtering on. You cannot delete vlan1.
3.2.3.2 VLAN names
When you create a VLAN (vlan command), you give it a numerical VLAN Identifier (VID)—a number from 2 to 4094, which is included in VLAN-tagged Ethernet frames to and from this VLAN. You may also give it an arbitrary alphanumeric name containing a meaningful description, which is not transmitted to other devices.
When referring to a VLAN, some commands require the VLAN to be specified by its VID while some commands require it to be specified by its interface name: vlan
You can name a VLAN with a string containing "vlan" and its VLAN Identifier (VID). To avoid confusion, we recommend not naming it "vlan" followed by any number different from its VID.
3.2.3.3 Access mode
A switch port in access mode sends untagged Ethernet frames, that is, frames without a VLAN tag. Each port is associated with one VLAN (the port-based VLAN, by default, vlan1), and when it receives untagged frames, it associates them with the VID of this VLAN. You can associate the port with another VLAN created by the vlan command, and this removes it from the default VLAN (switchport access vlan command).
Use access mode for any ports connected to devices that do not use VLAN tagging, for instance PC workstations.
3.2.3.4 Trunk mode
A switch port in trunk mode is associated with one or more VLANs for which it transmits VLAN-tagged frames, and for which it identifies incoming tagged frames with these VIDs.
To allow a switch port to distinguish and identify traffic from different VLANs, put it in trunk mode (switchport mode trunk command), and add the VLANs (switchport trunk allowed vlan command). Use trunk mode for ports connected to other switches which send VLAN-tagged traffic from one or more VLANs.
A trunk mode port may also have a native VLAN (by default vlan1), for which it transmits untagged frames, and with which it associates incoming untagged frames (switchport trunk native vlan command).
3.2.3.5 VLANs
All the ports in a channel group must have the same VLAN configuration: they must belong to the same VLANs and have the same tagging status, and can only be operated on as a group.

3.2.4 VLAN Double Tagging (VLAN Stacking)
VLAN double tagging, also known as VLAN Stacking, Nested VLANs, or Q-in-Q VLANs, are used to operate a number of private Layer 2 networks within a single public Layer 2 network. This feature provides simple access infrastructure for network service providers to operate Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) as commercial value-added networks.
A double-tagging implementation consists of the following port types:
- Provider ports - these connect to a service provider's Layer-2 network
- Customer edge ports - these connect to a customer's private Layer-2 network
Note: It is possible to configure a LAN interface as a Provider port, such as allowing one of the copper interfaces to connect to the provider's network, or daisy chaining the iMG with another device. Refer to switchport vlan-stacking (double tagging), show platform, and show interface switchport.
3.2.5 How Double-Tagged VLANs Work
In a double-tagging VLAN environment VLAN tagging exists at two levels:
- client or customer tagging (C-Tag)
• service provider tagging (S-Tag)
When double-tagging is enabled, the service provider assigns to each of its clients an individual 12 bit customer VID called an S-Tag. The S-Tag field has an identical structure to a conventional VLAN tag field.
The S-Tag is expected to be attached to the packet as it enters the service provider network.
When the packet is forwarded to the customer edge-port, the S-Tag is removed, and is transmitted as it was received from the customer network. (The packet can be tagged, or not, and the management of this is up to the end customer.)
When the packet is on ingress from a customer-edge port, the S-Tag is added to the packet and the default priority associated with that port is set on the S-tag which is used for switching as described above.
3.2.6 VLAN Rules for Double Tagging
When double-tagged VLANs are created on the switch:
- An S-tagged VLAN belongs to only one customer and can have multiple customer-edge ports.
- A port must be either a customer-edge port or a provider port, but cannot be both.
• Double-tagging is either on or off for the entire device.
A service provider port:
- accepts only tagged packets
• transmits only tagged packets
• can be in many double-tagged VLANs
A customer edge port:
- accepts both tagged (C-Tag) and untagged packets, and adds the S-Tag on ingress (upstream)
• transmits both tagged (C-Tag) and untagged packets, and strips the S-Tag on egress (downstream)
• can be a member of only one double-tagged VLAN
3.2.7 Restrictions when using Double-Tagged VLANs
Restrictions when double-tagged VLANs are implemented are:
- Ethernet bridging is based on the S-Tag VID instead of the packet C-Tag VID. The packets C-Tag VID does not change
- The p-bit to queue mapping is based on the S-VID (outer VLAN).
- Be sure to coordinate the iMG Provider port and interfaces to upstream devices. As long as the TPID value match, the upstream device will only see the S-VID and pass it up through the network.
Caution: The TPID value also applies to all frames carrying single tagged VLANs. Changing the TPID value may affect customer services and iMG management.
- The TPID can be changed by the user but is set by default at 0x8100.
- The Service Provider port uses the TPID to determine is a packet is tagged. (The Customer port assumes the packet is untagged.)
- Traffic that is sent to the CPU (Mgmt and Voice VLAN) must be configured as single-tagged only.
3.2.8 Configuring Double-Tagged VLANs
- Create, and enable, service provider VLANS 20, 40, 50, and 60.
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 20,40,50,60
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
- Configure ports 1.0.5 as a provider-port members of VLAN 20, 40, 50, and 60.
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20,40,50,60
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan none
(In a true double-tagging configuration, there are no untagged packets.)
awplus(config-if)# exit
- Configure the customer ports with default VLANs, with port1.0.1 a member of VLAN 20 and ports 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 members of VLAN 40. Also, set two tagged VLANs on the CPU port (50 an 60)
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20
awplus(config-if)# interface port1.0.2
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 40
awplus(config-if)# interface port1.0.3
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switching VLAN - iMG
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 40
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# interface vlan 50
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
awplus(config-if)# interface vlan 60
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
awplus(config-if)# exit
- Set the Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID).
If you need to change the Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) from its default (for VLAN stacking) of 0x8100 (specified as hex notation), use the following command. This example changes the TPID to 0x9100:
awplus(config-if)# platform vlan-stacking-tpid 0x9100
Caution: The TPID value also applies to all frames carrying single tagged VLANs. Changing the TPID value may affect customer services and iMG management
- Enable the stacking feature on port1.0.5, since this is the provider port.
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5
awplus(config-if)# switchport vlan-stacking provider-port
The nested tpid parameter specifies the Ethernet type of the tagged packet. This is set to 0x8100 by default.
Note that this command specifies the TPID value that applies to all VLANs used for double-tagged VLANs (stacked VLANs). You cannot set individual TPID values for different VLANs within a multi double tagged VLAN network.

3.4 PPPoE
3.4.1 PPPoE Protocol Components
PPPoE has two distinct stages, Discovery and Session, as described below.
When a Host wishes to initiate a PPPoE session, it must first perform Discovery to identify the Ethernet MAC address of the peer and establish a PPPoE SESSION_ID. While PPP defines a peer-to-peer relationship, Discovery is inherently a client-server relationship. In the Discovery process, a Host (the client) discovers an Access Concentrator (the server). Based on the network topology, there may be more than one Access Concentrator that the Host can communicate with. The Discovery stage allows the Host to discover all Access Concentrators and then select one. When Discovery completes successfully, both the Host and the selected Access Concentrator have the information they will use to build their point-to-point connection over Ethernet.
There are four steps in the Discovery stage. When complete, both peers know the PPPoE Session ID and the peer's Ethernet Address - These together are what uniquely define each PPPoE session. The four packet types are described below, as well as the fifth packet type (Terminate).
Table 3-4: PPPoE Packet Type Sequence for Discovery (and Termination)
| Packet Type^a | Sender Description |
| PADI (Initiation) host A broadcast packet that to discover the Access Concentrator. It includes the type of service the host is trying to get access to. | |
| PADO (Offer) Access Concentrator (AC) | The AC offers its MAC address if it can offer the type of service the host has asked for. One or more ACs may send this packet. The PADO packet is sent to the Unicast address of the PPPoE client. |
Table 3-4: PPPoE Packet Type Sequence for Discovery (and Termination)
| Packet Typea | Sender Description | |
| PADR (Request) host Confirms the | choice of the AC for this type of service. This packet is sent to the Unicast address of the Access Concentrator. The client may receive multiple PADO packets, but the client responds to the first valid PADO that the client received. If the initial PADI packet had a blank "service-name" field filed, the client populates the "service-name" field of the PADR packet with the first service name that had been returned in the PADO packet. | |
| PADS (Session Confirmation) | AC When the PADR is received, the Access Concentrator generates unique session identification (ID) for the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session and returns this ID to the PPPoE client in the PADS packet. This packet is sent to the Unicast address of the client.When this process has completed, the client is aware of the address of the Access Concentrator and a session ID has been established. At this point, a normal PPP session begins. | |
| PADI (Terminate) host or AC Optional packet to terminate the PPPoE session. The session ID is discarded, and the host must begin the Discovery process again. | ||
a. PAD for all packet types = PPPoE Active Discovery. Word in parentheses is for final letter in acronym)
Once the session begins, the PPP data is sent as in any other PPP encapsulation, with all Ethernet packets Unicast. Note that the session_ID must be the value assigned during Discovery, and it must not change during the session. When the LCP terminates, the host and access concentrator must stop using that PPPoE session, and the discovery process begins again.
3.4.2 Automatically populating routing table and DNS server table
During the PPP connection establishment, the Network Control Protocol called PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) is called to negotiate the IP address of the local end of the link and to retrieve the Default Route and a list of DNS server ip addresses.
The negotiated local IP address is used to assign the IP address to the VLAN interface. In this case when the PPP session is established, the VLAN interface changes from having a null IP address to the new negotiated IP address and every time the PPP session is closed, the IP interface will revert back to having a null IP address.
The PPPoE connection has the capability to set the CPE's default route. To enable setting the CPE's default route use the following command in VLAN interface sub-mode:
ppp ipcp default route
Use the no version of this command to prevent PPP from setting the default route.
Note: If more than one PPPoE connection is configured to support setting the default route and multiple PPPoE connections receive a default route from server, the setting of the default route will be determined by the order of the PPPoE link establishment.
The PPPoE transport object is also able to set automatically the primary and secondary DNS servers. Use the following command to enable setting of Primary and Secondary DNS servers:
ppp ipcp dns request
Use the no version of this command to prevent PPP from setting the DNS servers.
Note: If more than one PPPoE connection is configured to support setting the DNS server and multiple PPPoE connections receive a DNS server from server - the setting of the DNS server will be indeterminate depending on order of the PPPoE link establishment.
3.4.3 Activating the Feature
The system is designed to implement more than one embedded PPPoE clients to be able to connect to external Access Concentrators. One PPPoE client may be configured per VLAN; a PPPoE connection is configured on the VLAN interface.
The configuration of a PPPoE connection is as follows:
- Enter interface command submode for vlan:
interface vlan123
- Set authentication protocol:
ppp authentication pap OR
ppp authentication chap
- Set the username/password:
ppp sent-username <username> password <password>
- Enable pppoe on vlan interface:
pppoe enable
- Disable pppoe on vlan interface:
no pppoe enable

PPP AUTHENTICATION
Syntax
ppp authentication {chap | pap | auto}
Description
This command sets the authentication method as either:
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) - provides a simple method for a remote node to establish its identity using a two-way handshake. After the PPP link establishment phase is complete, a username and password pair is repeatedly sent by the remote node across the link (in clear text) until authentication is acknowledged, or until the connection is terminated. PAP is not a secure authentication protocol. Passwords are sent across the link in clear text and there is no protection from playback or trail-and-error attacks. The remote node is in control of the frequency and timing of the login attempts
CHAP - The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) verifies the identity of the peer by means of a three-way handshake. The connection is verified by comparing calculated values. Otherwise the connection is dropped.

4. Multicast Applications
The Layer3 functionality of the iMG includes the following:
• IGMP Snooping Introduction and Configuration
• Multicast Command List
4.1 IGMP Snooping Introduction and Configuration
4.1.1 Multicasting overview
Multicasting is a technique developed to send packets from one location in the Internet to many other locations, without any unnecessary packet duplication. In Multicasting, one packet is sent from a source and is replicated as needed in the network to reach as many end-users as necessary.
The concept of a group is crucial to Multicasting. Every Multicast stream requires a Multicast group; the sender (or source) transmits to the group address, and only members of the group can receive the Multicast data. A group is defined by a Class D address.
Multicasting is useful because it conserves bandwidth by replicating packets as needed within the network, thereby not transmitting unnecessary packets. Multicasting is the most economical technique for sending a packet stream (which could be audio, video, or data) from one location to many other locations on the Internet simultaneously.
Of course, Multicasting has to be a connectionless process. The server simply sends out its Multicast UDP packets, with no idea of who will be receiving them, and whether they get received. It would be quite impossible for the server to have to wait for ACKs from all the recipients, and remember to retransmit to those recipients from whom it does not receive ACKs. Apart from anything else the server does not know who the recipients are, or how many there are.
4.1.1.1 Multicast Group addresses
A Multicast stream is a stream of data whose destination address is a Multicast address – i.e. an IP address with the first byte having a value of 224 to 240. The destination address used by a stream is referred to as its Group address. These Group Addresses, like all IP addresses, are a limited resource, and there are all sorts of rules about who may use addresses from which address ranges.
A server sends out a Multicast stream to a group Multicast address but the way it is routed to the hosts that actually want to receive it is a very different process to routing unicast packets. With unicast packets, the destination address of the packet uniquely identifies the host who should receive the packet and all the routers along the path just need to look in their routing tables to work out which is the correct route to send the packet down.
However, in the case of Multicast, the stream is simply being sent out, with no particular knowledge of who wants to receive it, and where the recipients are. One approach would be for every router that receives a Multicast stream on one interface to just retransmit that stream out ALL its other interfaces. In that way it would be guaranteed to eventually reach every host that might be interesting in receiving it. However, that would be an inefficient use of bandwidth, as a lot of the time the routers would sending the streams out along paths that do not contain any hosts that want to receive them. Given that the main reason for having Multicasting is to make efficient use of bandwidth, this would not be a good approach.
So, a more efficient approach is needed. This is where IGMP comes in.
4.1.1.2 IGMP protocol
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol whereby hosts indicate that they are interested in receiving a particular Multicast stream. When a host wants to receive a stream (in Multicast jargon, this is called 'joining a group') it sends to its local router an IGMP packet containing the address of the group it wants to join – this is called an IGMP Membership report (sometimes called a Join packet).
Now, the local router is generally going to be a long way from the server that is generating the stream. So, having received the IGMP join packet, the router then knows that it has to forward the Multicast stream onto its LAN (if it is not doing so already). However, if the router is not already receiving the Multicast stream from the server (probably many hops away) what does the router do next in order to ensure that the Multicast stream gets to it? This is achieved by elaborate process involving Multicast routing protocols like PIM, DVMRP, and MOSPF.
The IGMP packet exchange works as described in the following paragraphs.
At a certain period (default is 125 seconds), the router sends an IGMP query message onto the local LAN. The destination address of the query message is a special 'all Multicast groups' address. The purpose of this query is to ask, "Are there any hosts on the LAN that wish to remain members of Multicast Groups?"
Hosts on the LAN receive the query; if any given host wishes to remain in a Multicast group, it sends a new IGMP Membership report (Join message) for that group (of course some hosts may be members of more than one group – so they will send join messages for all the groups that they are members of).
The router looks at the responses it receives to its query, and compares these to the list of Multicast streams that it has currently registered to receive. If there are any items in that list for which it has not received query responses, it will send a message upstream, asking to no longer receive that stream – i.e. to be ‘pruned’ from the tree through which that stream is flowing.
In IGMP version 2, a host can explicitly inform its router that it wants to leave a particular Multicast group sending the an IGMP leave message. So, the router keeps a table of how many hosts have joined particular groups, and removes hosts from the table when it receives leave messages, then it can know straight away when there are no hosts on its LAN that are still members of a given group. So, it can ask to be pruned from that tree straight away, rather than having to wait until the next query interval.
4.1.1.3 Multicast MAC addresses
Multicast IP addresses are Class D IP addresses. So, all IP addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 are Multicast IP addresses. They are also referred to as Group Destination Addresses (GDA).
For each GDA there is an associated MAC address. This MAC address is formed by 01-00-5e, followed by the last 23 bits of the GDA translated in hex. Therefore:
230.20.20.20 corresponds to MAC 01-00-5e-14-14-14
224.10.10.10 corresponds to MAC 01-00-5e-0a-0a-0a
Consequently, this is not a one-to-one mapping, but a one-to-many mapping:
224.10.10.10 corresponds to MAC 01-00-5e-0a-0a-0a
226.10.10.10 corresponds to MAC 01-00-5e-0a-0a-0a, as well.
It is required that when an IP Multicast packet is sent onto an Ethernet, the destination MAC address of the packet must be the MAC address that corresponds to the packet's GDA. So, it is possible, from the destination MAC address of a Multicast packet, to know the set of values that its GDA must fall within.
4.1.1.4 IGMP snooping Functional Overview
IGMP snooping is a filtering process performed at layer 2 to reduce the amount of Multicast traffic on a LAN.
It is designed to solve the problem when a Multicast traffic is received from a layer 2 switch due to join requests performed by hosts connected to some of the switch ports.
If individual hosts on the LAN (i.e. hosts connected to ports on the switches) wish to receive Multicast streams, then they will send out IGMP joins, which will get up to the Multicast router; and the router will join into the appropriate Multicast trees; and the Multicast flows will then reach the router, and it will forward them into the LAN.
By default, when a switch receives a Multicast packet, it must forward it out all its ports (except the port upon which it was received). So, considering the example where only host number I actually requests to join a particular Multicast group, what will happen is that all the hosts on the LAN will start receiving the Multicast packets, as all the switches will forward the Multicast packets to all their ports.
This is rather a waste of bandwidth, and the purpose of Multicasting is to make efficient use of bandwidth.
The solution to this problem is to make the layer-2 switch aware of the IGMP packets that are being passed around. That is, although the IGMP packets are destined for the router, the layer-2 switch needs to 'snoop' them as they go past. Then the layer-2 switch can know which hosts have asked to join which Multicast groups, and only forward the Multicast data to the places where it really needs to go.
IGMP snooping is designed to work in a network environment where both Multicast router(s) and Multicast host(s) are present.
Note: Multicast packets having as destination IP the following range: 224.0.0.[0-255] and 224.0.1.[0-255] will NOT be blocked in the upstream direction since belonging to reserved traffic (OSPF, RIPv2, PIM etc...)
The goal is to construct an internal view of the Multicast network based on the IGMP messages received both from Multicast router(s) and Multicast host(s).
4.2 IGMP Snooping on iMG
AT-iMGI400, AT-iMGI500, AT-iMG2400 and AT-iMG2500 supports three IGMP operation modes:
- IGMP Snoop Only mode: in this mode the IMG does not modify the signaling between STBs and Multicast network but it simply elaborates IGMP messages to create the proper filters to avoid the flooding of Multicast streams.
- IGMP Proxy mode: this mode is a variation of IMGP Snooping mode where the iMG participates actively on the handling of IGMP messages hiding the internal STBs to the Multicast network.
- IGMP Proxy Routed mode: this mode is an extended version of IMGP Proxy mode where Multicast traffic is routed between vlans.
The system is also able to manage IGMP V1,V2 and IGMP V3 signaling messages at the same time, allowing mixed network operating in V1/v2 or V3 modes to interoperate each others.
4.2.1 IGMP Snoop Only Mode
4.2.1.1 Join operation
When IGMP task operates in Snoop Only mode, each IGMP Report/Leave message sent by internal Set-Top-Boxes or Multicast hosts, is analyzed by the system.
The iMG keeps record of the interface (port1.0.1, ...) where the message has been received.
If the iMG receives a Multicast stream and none of the existing interfaces has requested that stream, then the Multicast flow is forwarded to all the interfaces (belonging to the video vlan).
If the IGMP message is a Report to a Multicast stream, the system adds a MAC static entry corresponding to the joined Multicast address in the switch FDB. Then the message is forwarded as it is (same STB source IP/MAC addresses) upstream to the Multicast network.
A timer is also started to record the presence of that specific Multicast stream on that specific interface.
This timer is used to purge the learned Multicast entry in case the STB disconnects without sending any IGMP leave message.
The Multicast stream received on the WAN interface will be forwarded only to the interface(s) that have a static MAC address matching the stream Multicast MAC address, i.e. only to those LAN interfaces that have requested that stream.

FIGURE 4-1 IGMPSnooping
4.2.1.2 Leave operation
When a STB sends a IGMP leave message for a Multicast stream, the system will detect on which LAN interface the IGMP leave message has been received.
At this point any static MAC address matching the Multicast MAC address, will be removed from the switch FDB. This immediately causes the drop of the received Multicast stream for that specific LAN interface.
Then the message is forwarded as it is (same STB source IP/MAC addresses) upstream to the Multicast network. Depending on the design of the Multicast network then the stream could be stopped or additional actions could be taken to discover any outstanding host still interested to receive that specific stream.
4.2.1.2.1 Expiring of a Multicast entry
The IGMP module is designed to age out Multicast streams in case a Set-Top-Box or Multicast host does not reply to IGMP Generic or Specific Queries and has not sent any leave message for an existing Multicast stream (or because the leave message is lost in the communication).
To avoid that an incoming stream remains active on the LAN interface, the system starts a timer when the Report message is received.
If during the query-interval period, the Set-Top-Box does not renew the join to the existing Multicast stream by sending a corresponding IGMP report message, after a period of time equals the query-interval * robustness-variable + query-max-response-time, the static MAC address matching the stream Multicast MAC address, will be removed from the switch FDB.
This immediately causes the drop of the received Multicast stream for that specific LAN interface.
Note: When IGMP Snoop Only mode is configured, the fast-leave attribute does not take effect.

Example
In this example the video service is provided via video vlan VID=205. The iMG is configured for IGMP Snoop Only mode. WAN (port1.0.6) is tagged on VID=205 while LAN interfaces (port1.0.1-port1.0.5) belong to video VLAN as untagged interfaces:
First configure the video In this example the video VLAN has VID=205:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 205 name video
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 205
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan none
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.5
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 205
awplus(config-if)# exit
Then enable IGMP snooping on video vlan 205
awplus(config)# interface vlan205
awplus(config-if)# ip igmp snooping
awplus(config-if)# exit
And disable IGMP proxy mode (that it's enabled by default)
awplus(config)# no ip igmp proxy-service
awplus(config)# ip igmp version 2
awplus(config)# end
4.2.2 IGMP Proxy Mode
4.2.2.1 Join operation
The main characteristic of IGMP Proxy mode is that there is a complete separation of the IGMP signaling messages receive/transmitted between the upstream Multicast network and IGMP signaling messages receive/transmitted within the home video network.
Each IGMP Report/Leave message sent by internal set-top-boxes or Multicast hosts are not forwarded upstream but are terminated on the iMG IGMP module. The same happens for IGMP Queries received from the from the Multicast network.
If the IGMP message is a Report to a Multicast stream, the system adds a MAC static entry corresponding to the joined Multicast address in the switch FDB.
If no other hosts have already joined the same Multicast stream, the message is sent upstream to the Multicast network. Before the message is sent, the source MAC/IP address is replaced with the iMG MAC address and with the IP address of the vlan where IGMP has been enabled.
Note: If a previous hosts has already joined the same Multicast channel, than the Report received from the STB is retained and it's not forwarded upstream avoiding in this way to flood the network with redundant IGMP messages.
On the LAN side, for each IGMP Report received, the IGMP task updates an internal Multicast table that keeps track of the active streams, Multicast hosts and channels timeouts.
To refresh the content of the Multicast table, IGMP Proxy module sends periodically query messages to the internal LAN interfaces to discover any active Multicast host.
The frequency of these IGMP Query messages is given by the query-interval timer and it's completely independent from the frequency IGMP queries are received from the Multicast network.
Also the Max Response Time value contained in the Query message is configurable by the iMG IGMP module via the query-max-response-time attribute.
On the WAN side, at the reception of a Generic Query from the Multicast network, the IGMP Proxy module will answer with the list of the channels stored on its Multicast channels table.

4.2.2.2 Leave operation
If the IGMP message is a Leave from a Multicast stream, the system will detect on which LAN interface the IGMP leave message has been received.
At this point, depending on the setting of the fast-leave attribute, the IGMP module can acts in two different ways:
If fast-leave is enabled, the static MAC address matching the stream Multicast MAC address, will be removed from the switch FDB (only for the LAN that has received the IGMP leave message).
This immediately causes the drop of the received Multicast stream for that specific LAN interface.
If there are no other hosts existing in the Multicast channels table for that specific channel, then a leave message is sent upstream to the Multicast network. The leave message will have the iMG MAC address and IP address of the vlan where IGMP has been enabled hiding in this way any information about the internal host.
If fast-leave is disabled, before purging the static MAC address matching the stream Multicast MAC address, the IGMP Proxy module will send one or more Specific IGMP Queries to check if there are internal hosts that are still interested to receive the channel going to be closed.
The number of Specific IGMP Queries is configurable by the robustness variable.
If there are no hosts replying to the Specific IGMP Queries, then the static MAC address matching the stream Multicast MAC address will be removed from the switch FDB (only for the LAN that has received the IGMP leave message). This causes the drop of the received Multicast stream for that specific LAN interface.
If there are no other hosts existing in the Multicast channels table for that specific channel, then a leave message is sent upstream to the Multicast network. The leave message will have the iMG MAC address and IP address of the vlan where IGMP has been enabled hiding in this way any information about the internal host

FIGURE 4-4 Leave operation
4.2.2.3 Expiring of a Multicast entry
Similarly to IGMP Snoop Only mode, the IGMP module ages out the learned Multicast entries in case a Set-Top-Box or Multicast host does not reply to IGMP Queries (generic or specific) and has not sent any leave message for an existing Multicast stream (because it was turned off or because the leave message is lost in the communication).
The time a Multicast entry is kept in the IGMP database equals the query-interval * robustness-variable + query-max-response-time.
This timer is restarted every time the IGMP module receives a Report message.
Differently from IGMP Snoop Only mode, when the timer expires, the iMG generates upstream an IGMP Leave message corresponding to the Multicast address of the entry that is aged out.
The Leave message is sent only if it is the only existing entry in the IGMP database for the Multicast stream. If the IGMP module has registered other ports or hosts still receiving that Multicast stream, than the Leave message is not sent (this to avoid that the network stops sending the stream while other hosts are still wishing to receive it).
Example
In this example the video service is provided via video vlan VID=205. The iMG is configured for IGMP Proxy mode. WAN (port1.0.6) is tagged on VID=205 while LAN interfaces (port1.0.1-port1.0.5) belong to video VLAN as untagged interfaces:
First configure the video vlan.
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 205 name video
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Multicast Applications IGMP Snooping on iMG
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 205
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan none
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.5
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 205
awplus(config-if)# exit
Then enable IGMP snooping on video vlan 205
awplus(config)# interface vlan205
awplus(config-if)# ip igmp snooping
awplus(config-if)# exit
And enable IGMP proxy mode (this is enabled by default and it's here reported just for clarity)
awplus(config)# ip igmp proxy-service
awplus(config)# ip igmp version 2
awplus(config)# end
4.2.3 IGMP Proxy Routed Mode (Multicast Acceleration)
IGMP Proxy mode supports an extended mode called Routed Mode or also Multicast Acceleration that allows the routing (pseudo routing) of Multicast traffic between VLANs.
In Proxy Routed Mode the local user network is isolated from the access network: a DHCP server configured on the iMG is typically used to assign local IP addresses to the user network and NAT is then adopted to allow the access to the service provider network.
Proxy Routed Mode allows Multicast streams received at the WAN interface of the service provider video network to be routed internally to the private user network.
Multicast Acceleration does not perform a true routing of Multicast frames, i.e. the IP TTL value is not decremented and the Ethernet header is left unchanged too. It uses the properties of the switch silicon for wire speed throughput performances.
Join, Leave and expire operations are the same as for IGMP Proxy Mode.
The only difference is that the Source IP address of the IGMP messages sent internally is the IP address of the Internal IP interface where usually the DHCP server runs.
So, the IGMP Report and Leave messages sent upstream will have the IP address of the WAN video network and the IGMP query messages sent downstream will have the IP address of the LAN Internal home network where typically the DHCP server runs.

FIGURE 4-5 IGMP Proxy Routed Mode (Multicast Acceleration)
Example
In this example the Internet and Video services share the same service provider VALN VID=205.
The users has a Media Center Box on a local private vlan VID=100.
First configure the video vlan.
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 205 name video
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 205
awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan none
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# interface vlan205
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
awplus(config-if)# ip dhcp client request 3
awplus(config-if)# ip dhcp client request 6
awplus(config-if)# ip dhcp client request 15
awplus(config-if)# ip nat enable
Then enable IGMP proxy service on the Internet/Data vlan. This setting tells the system to enable the support for Multicast Acceleration:
Multicast Applications IGMP Snooping on iMG
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan205
awplus(config-if)# ip igmp snooping
awplus(config-if)# ip igmp proxy-service
awplus(config)# end
Then create the internal VLAN:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 100 name internal
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.5
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 100
awplus(config-if)# end
And finally configure the DHCP server on Internal VLAN and enable IGMP snooping support on it:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan100
awplus(config-if)# ip address 192.168.100.1/24
awplus(config-if)# ip dhcp pool
awplus(dhcp-config)# range 192.168.100.10 192.168.100.20
awplus(dhcp-config)# subnet 255.255.255.0
awplus(dhcp-config)# lease 0 0 15
awplus(dhcp-config)# exit
awplus(config-if)# ip dhcp server
awplus(config-if)# ip igmp snooping
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# ip igmp version 2
awplus(config)# end

5. Access and Security
The Access and Security functions of the iMG include the following:
• Quality of Service Model
• QoS Command List
- Secure Shell Protocol
- SSH Command List
• Security (Trigger, Firewall, Access Control List, Logging)
• Security Command List
5.1 Quality of Service Model
5.1.1 Address management
The primary function of the layer 2 switch is to receive good packets from the ports, process them and forward them to the appropriate ports for transmission. This frame processing involves the Ingress Policy, Queue Controller, Output Queues and Egress Policy.
The normal packet flow involves learning how to switch packets only to the correct ports. The switch learns which port and end station is connected to by remembering each packet's Source Address along with the port number on which the packet arrived - and the vlan that it is on.
When a packet is directed to a new, unlearned MAC address, the packet is flooded out of all the ports (as long as they belong on the same VLAN) except for the one on which it arrived. Once a MAC address/port number is learned, all future packets directed to that end station's MAC addresses are directed to the learned port number only. This ensures that the packet is sent to the correct end station. This table can be displayed via the CLI.
The address database is stored in the embedded switch memory and has a default aging time of about 300 seconds (5 minutes). If no packets are received from that MAC Address during that aging interval, then the address is purged from the database. If a MAC Address is received from a different port during this time, then the MAC address is learned on that new port and all traffic is then routed to that new port.
To see the entries in the address database - execute the following command:
show mac address-table
5.1.2 Rate limiting support
The integrated layer 2 switch supports hardware rate limiting on receive and transmit independently on a per port basis. The rate limiting applies to all the frame types: unicast, broadcast and Multicast.
If the number of bytes exceeds the programmed limit, the switch will stop receiving or transmitting packets on the port. In the transmit direction, extra packets are placed in one or more FIFO queues and sent as soon as possible given the configured limit. Note that when multiple queues are configured, the highest priority queue is emptied first.
In the receive direction, on some devices, there is an option provided for flow control to prevent packet loss. In this case, if the configured limit is reached, and Flow Control is enabled, then a PAUSE frame will be sent to the peer device. This will stop transmission of packets until the Gateway is ready to receive packets again.
Commands are:
egress-rate-limit
ingress-rate-limit
5.1.3 Quality of Service Classification
QoS switching policy is performed by the Queue Controller. The priority of a frame is determined in priority order by:
The IEEE 802.3ac Tag containing IEEE 802.1p priority information: this IEEE 802.1p priority information is used in determining frame priority when IEEE 802.3ac tagging is enabled on the port.
The IPv4 Type of Service (TOS)/DiffServ field when enabled on the port. IPv4 priority classification can be configured on a port basis to have a higher priority then IEEE Tag.
The user can enable one of these QOS classifications on a port.
All untagged frames entering a port are tagged and have their p-bit value set to the port's default priority. This priority is then used to manage the traffic from that port.
A four Queue scheme is in place which allows the user to maps the different priority values to one of the four internal queues.
Highest priority queues are emptied first before the lower priority queues...and as such, it is possible for the low priority traffic to get starved out.
The integrated layer 2 switch supports two Class of Service (CoS) mechanisms: IEEE 802.1p tagging (Layer 2) and Differentiated Services (DS) as an advanced architecture of ToS (Layer 3).
5.1.4 802.1p traffic priority
The IEEE 802.1p signalling technique is an IEEE endorsed specification for prioritizing network traffic at the data-link/MAC sub-layer (OSI Reference Model Layer 2).
IEEE 802.1p is a spin-off of the IEEE 802.1q (VLAN tagging) standard and they work in tandem.
The 802.1q standard specifies a VLAN tag that appends to a MAC frame. The VLAN tag carries VLAN information. The VLAN tag has two parts: The VLAN ID (12-bit) and User Priority (3-bit). The User Priority field was never defined in the VLAN standard. The 802.1q implementation defines this prioritizing field.
Switches, routers, servers, even desktop systems, can set these priority bits in the three-bit user priority field, which allows packets to be grouped into various traffic classes. If a packet is received that does not have this tag added, then the switch adds it to the packet and uses the default priority associated with the port.
The value in the user priority is used to determine which queue to place the packet into directly. This mapping is configurable via the following commands:
mls qos map cos-queue
5.1.5 Differentiated services code point (DSCP)
The IEEE 802.1p signalling technique is an IEEE endorsed specification for prioritizing network traffic.
The DSCP octet in the IP header classifies the packet service level. The DSCP replaces the ToS Octet in the IPv4 header. Refer to Figure 5-1.
Currently, only the first six bits are used. Two bits of the DSCP are reserved for future definitions. This allows up to 64 different classifications for service levels.
The value in the user priority used to determine which queue to place the packet into directly. This mapping is configurable with the command:
mls qos map Premark-dscp

5.2 Secure Shell Protocol
5.2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how the Secure Shell protocol is implemented in the AlliedWare PlusTM Operating System. It covers:
• Using Secure Shell to manage your device.
Secure management is important in modern networks, as the ability to easily and effectively manage switches and routers, and the requirement for security, are two almost universal requirements. Protocols such as Telnet and rlogin allow you to manage devices remotely, but can have serious security problems, such as relying on reusable plaintext passwords that are vulnerable to wiretapping or password guessing. The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is superior to these protocols by providing encrypted and strongly authenticated remote login sessions.
SSH provides sessions between a host running a SSH server and a machine with a SSH client. The AlliedWare PlusTM OS includes a SSH server and a SSH client to enable you to securely—with the benefit of cryptographic authentication and encryption—manage your devices over an insecure network:
- SSH replaces Telnet for remote terminal sessions; SSH is strongly authenticated and encrypted.
- Remote command execution allows you to send commands to a device securely and conveniently, without requiring a terminal session on the device.
- SSH allows you to connect to another host from your switch or router.
The AlliedWare Plus ^TM OS supports Secure Copy (SCP) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Both these protocols allow you to securely copy files between your device and remote machines. SFTP provides additional features from SCP, such as allowing you to manipulate the remote files, and halt or resume file transfers without closing the session.
Access and Security Secure Shell Protocol
5.2.2 Configuring the SSH Server
This section provides instructions on:
- Enabling the Server
- Validating the Server Configuration
5.2.2.1 Enabling the Server
You must enable the SSH server before connections from SSH, SCP, and SFTP clients are accepted. When the SSH server is disabled it rejects connections from SSH clients. The SSH server is enabled by default on your device.
To enable the SSH server, use the command:
awplus(config)# service ssh
To disable the SSH server, use the command:
awplus(config)# no service ssh

5.3 Security (Trigger, Firewall, Access Control List, Logging)
5.3.1 Overview
Security means to deal with preventing access from unwanted hosts that try to connect to the device.
In detail, it is possible to define which host (or set of hosts) can connect to the device and on which port (or set of ports); this is called access restriction.
It is possible to have static access restrictions as well as dynamic ones (that is, conditioned to the presence of a triggering connection), and to define the default behavior in case no access restrictions have been defined.
Moreover, in case of an intrusion attempt by an unwanted host, it is possible to log the event.
Each access restriction produces rules in the IP tables, that in a Linux environment is a collection of statements for which IP packets are submitted; security concepts like triggers, firewalls and so on merely add or remove IP tables rules.
Each VLAN interface has its own behavior in respect to security, and is independent of the others; this means that each VLAN interface has its own access restrictions, whether static or dynamic.
Implementing the security on a device means to define the behavior for each VLAN interface and for each port.
5.3.2 Triggers
Triggers are used to inform the security mechanism to expect secondary sessions and handle the situation dynamically, allowing the secondary sessions for data flow for the duration of the session.
The user configures the iMG with a range of primary port number(s). The Primary port number refers to the TCP/UDP port number to which the primary (starting) session of the application is established. During session set up, if there is a local host that was expecting the incoming session, then the session is established. If a local host is not found, then the packet is discarded.
This mechanism enables the iMG to allow in only those incoming secondary sessions that should be allowed in, and can reject malicious attempts to establish incoming sessions.
Note: The sum of the primary port ranges must be less than 1000, due to limited resources. The secondary port ranges must be less than 1000 for each trigger created. Moreover, a few ports are unavailable because they are registered by other applications. Refer to ip firewall trigger (config-if) for details.
5.3.3 Firewall
The firewall feature permits to block every incoming packet on a board.
More precisely, this feature defines the default behavior for each port: in case the firewall is enabled, each incoming packet is blocked, otherwise is accepted.
However, it is possible to change the default behavior for each port with the access lists mechanism, as explained later.
Now let's suppose that we know this mechanism and let's focus on a specific interface, no matter which.
Let's suppose too that, for example, we are able to permit access on telnet port only for host 10.10.10.10.
This means that if 10.10.10.10 tries to connect via telnet, the connection will be accepted, while an host like 10.10.10.11 will be refused.
Now, what about the other services, like SSH, http and so on, that uses different ports?
If firewall is disabled, each host will be permitted to access; if enabled, each host will be refused.
This means that if firewall status is changed, the restriction given on a particular port remains the same.
In case of telnet service, the access restriction remains the same, no matter if the firewall is enabled or not.
Note that in case an active connection isn't permitted anymore, either because the firewall has been enabled or because the access restriction rules are changed, the connection isn't dropped and remain active until isn't closed.
Once the firewall is enabled, every incoming packet is dropped except for the following:
• TR69 messages - other access methods (telnet, SSH, http) are blocked.
- Port Filters - These are configured with the local GUI for DHCP client and server messages: otherwise enabling firewall would result in IP addresses expiring.
• Packets of already established connections
• Triggers - Refer to 5.3.2.
- Access List - Refer to 5.3.6.
When the firewall is disabled, the IP tables are set to empty, unless some access restriction has been defined. Both behaviors can be achieved by using IP tables commands.
In 4.2 IPv6 can be enabled, as well as IPv4; when IPv6 is enabled the following conditions occur;
- Enabling the firewall enables both IPv4 and IPv6 Firewall. (both IPv4 and IPv6 packets will be blocked).
- Disabling the firewall disables both IPv4 and IPv6 Firewall.
5.3.4 Port Filters (using the GUI)
These are port attributes that define:
- What protocol type is allowed (specified using the protocol number or the protocol name)
- The range of source and destination port numbers allowed
- The direction that packets are allowed to travel in (inbound, outbound, neither, or both)
Refer to 8.2.
5.3.5 Logging Intrusion Attempts
Each attempt of intrusion by unwanted hosts can be logged properly. This means that a message describing the attempt features is reported in the log. Each message can be marked from a log level, that tells us about its importance. The log levels can be set.
The log informations about such attempts are put in the system log; debug level can also be specified (error, notice, debug). The available log levels are neither more nor less a subset of the Linux system log (error=3, notice=5, debug=7).
In order to set it, one command is provided:
awplus(config)# debug access level <error|notice|debug>
The command that shows the log content is:
awplus# show log
An intrusion message is like the following:
Intrusion -> IN=ppp0.4000 OUT= MAC= SRC=10.10.10.11 DST=10.10.10.33 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=125 ID=63441 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1618 DPT=23 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 MARK=0x1
This refers to the example of 5.4.3: host 10.10.10.11 is trying to telnet the board but it's refused.
Note that IN field is the VLAN interface name, while SRC and DST are the unwanted host and the board IP addresses (DPT is the destination port, that is 23 for telnet).
In order to avoid flooding, a maximum of 6 messages per hour is permitted.
5.3.6 Access Control List (ACL)
5.3.6.1 Overview
Sometimes the iMG is required to limit access to applications and services on the device to only to few selected hosts for security. Such access restriction can be obtained by using Access Control List (ACL) and Access Group.
An ACL is a filter that is applied to a VLAN interface to permit packets that match the filter definitions. The filter definitions are:
- a port (for example, 23 for telnet) - defined by the protocol parameter.
- the subnet which is permitted access to it.
ACLs refer to a particular port to restrict the access only for that port and leave the access rules for the other ports unchanged.
The set of hosts that can reach the switch on that port is identified by the IP subnet.
Once an ACL has been created, it is still not active; the ACL must be applied to a VLAN interface to have packets blocked on it. Once this association is made the filter begins working.
Each VLAN interface has its own Access Group, which is the collection of ACLs applied.
So to have filtering on the interface, you:
- create the necessary ACLs (each ACL is tagged with an ID number created by the user).
- apply one or more ACLs to the interface Access Group (each interface has only one access group).
- Note that the same ACL can be associated with different access groups.
Once done, the filtering will start and packets will be blocked or forwarded, according to the content of the ACLs. Once an ACL has been applied to an interface for a specific port, all the hosts not belonging to the subnet will not be able to access the switch on the port, unless further ACLs are created and applied.
The same ACL can be applied to different interfaces with minimum effort.
If no ACL is applied to an interface for one port, all the hosts can access that interface on that port.
When the filtering is no longer required, an ACL can be removed from an Access Group.
For an example, to restrict telnet access to the subnet of hosts having IP addresses ranging from 10.17.90.1 to 10.17.90.4.
- Create the ACL
awplus(config)# access-list 1 permit 10.17.90.1/30 telnet
awplus(config)# access-list 2 permit
- Associate the ACL to the proper access group. Note that in the current release you must apply each ACL separately.
awplus(config)# config interface vlanl
awplus(config-if)# access-group 1
awplus(config-if)# access-group 2
...
awplus(config-if)# access-group 99
- To remove the access group from the VLAN interface (and therefore remove the access restriction), enter:
awplus(config)# no access-group 1
5.3.6.2 Extended Access Lists
Previously, access lists refer to a source subnet and a destination port; in most cases that is enough to define an access restriction. In this case the access list is referred as a “normal” access list.
However, there are few cases in which an “extended” access list is required.
The extended access list permits you to define a range of ports, and not only one; also a destination subnet and source port(s) can be defined.
Once defined, they can be used as the normal access lists.
5.3.7 IPv6 Access Lists
In 4.2 IPv6 also has access restriction capabilities that are the same as IPv4, except for the following differences:
- IPv6 Access Lists only support the extended format, as shown in the ipv6 access-list extended command.
• To apply the access lists to a VLAN interface, the command used is ipv6 traffic-filter (rather than access-group). - Once an access list has been applied, the IP tables contains some extra rules. They merely permit the following ICMPv6 messages to be accepted: router-advertisement, neighbor-advertisement, neighbor-solicitation. See the traffic filter command explanation.
5.3.8 Protected Ports
The Protected Ports feature allows certain ports to be designated as protected. Protected ports have the following attributes:
- By default a port is unprotected and must be specifically designated as protected.
- On a protected port, all traffic is included (so not on a VLAN basis).
- Traffic between members of different protected port groups is blocked.
- Protected ports are able to send traffic to unprotected ports
Because traffic is protected on a port basis, one command is used. Refer to protected.

ACCESS-GROUP
Syntax
access-group <1-99>
no access-group [<VLAN id>][<1-99]
This command adds or removes an access-list to a vlan interface.
The no variant of this command removes the selected access-group from the VLAN interface. The id ranges from 1 to 99.
To use, first create an access list that applies the appropriate permit requirements etc. Then use the access-group command to apply this access list to a specific vlan interface. Only permitted packets will be accepted for the specified protocol. You can add to an access group more than one access list. Note that this command will apply the access-list only to incoming data packets.

Note
Enabling a firewall means blocking all the incoming packets, so define the proper exceptions before. If IPv6 is enabled, when the firewall is enabled, both IPv4 and IPv6 packets are blocked, except for the packets specified in the access lists (if any) and for the following IPv6 messages: router-advertisement, neighbor-advertisement, neighbor-solicitation. This gets the Neighbor Discovery Protocol and the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration working, as they use such messages.
Example To enable the firewall on the VLAN interface, enter the following commands:
awplus(config)# interface vlan1
awplus(config-if)# firewall enable or -
awplus(config)# firewall enable 1
IP FIREWALL TRIGGER (CONFIG-IF)
Syntax ip firewall trigger
Description This command creates a trigger that sets the conditions where if certain ports are opened (triggering ports), allows connections to other ports (triggered ports). A trigger therefore opens a secondary port dynamically. Triggered ports are closed when the triggering ports are closed, and there is no time dependence. The no variant of this command removes the trigger mechanism.

Moreover, the sum of the primary port ranges cannot exceed the maximum limit of 1000, and the secondary port range for each trigger cannot exceed the maximum limit of 1000, due to limited resources of the system. When the limit is exceeded, an error message is displayed.
Example To create a trigger, once a TCP connection has been established on port 6969, will permit a TCP connection on ports 6881-6889, enter the following commands:
awplus(config)# interface vlan1 awplus(config-if)# ip firewall trigger btTrigger tcp 6969 6969 tcp 6881 6889

• Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Network Time Protocol (NTP)
• NTP Command List
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
- DHCP Command list
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• The following OIDs are registered for the iMG Models.SNMP Command List
6.1 Network Address Translation (NAT)
6.1.1 Introduction
NAT is a protocol used to translate IP packet addresses. This allows to have either the source IP address or the destination one to be changed. The same can be applied for the ports.
For now, two scenarios have been introduced: the classical one and the port mapping (virtual server). See RFC 1631 to have a better comprehension. To give a clearer idea about them, two examples follow.
In the first one, a laptop is locally connected to a board. As the laptop IP address is a local one, given by the DHCP server on board, packets cannot travel outside the local network. Enabling the NAT, the source address of the packets is replaced by the one of the WAN interface, that is a public IP address, and the laptop is allowed to use services outside the LAN. The board keeps trace of the connection, so that the packets sent can go outside the LAN by changing the source IP address, and the packets received by the WAN interface can be forwarded to the laptop by changing the destination IP address. The laptop has the illusion to use a service available on the board while it can be located elsewhere, and the host having the service has the illusion to talk with the WAN interface.
In the second one, the laptop has an SSH server running on it. An external host is connected via SSH to the board and can use the CLI on board. Let's suppose that a port mapping is performed, and to remap the board IP address and SSH port with the laptop ones. Once the external host reopens the connection, the laptop SSH server will answer instead. The host will have the illusion to talk with the board always, but things have been changed, so that the laptop is the final destination of the host connection.
6.1.2 NAT on the iMG
The implementation of NAT on the iMG is based on the following RFCs: 1631.
6.1.3 NAT Command List
This chapter provides an alphabetical reference of configure, clear, and show commands related to Network Address Translation (NAT).

Mode Global Configuration Mode
Release 4.2
Options NA
Note NAT Translations occur between All Non-NAT Enabled interfaces and the present interface. This implies that traffic between interfaces that have NAT Enabled is routed.
Example See the following commands for options to enable NAT on the VLAN 2
awplus(config)# interface vlan 2
awplus(config-if)# ip nat enable
Example To disable NAT on the VLAN 2, use following commands
awplus(config)# interface vlan 2
awplus(config-if)# no ip nat enable
IP NAT PORTMAP
Syntax
ip nat portmap
Description
This command creates a virtual server specifying the port mapping to be performed. A remote host trying to connect on the external port will be connected to a local host on its internal port, giving the remote host the illusion to communicate with the board. Remote host 0.0.0.0 has a special meaning, as it refers to all the hosts.
Local host 0.0.0.0 isn't allowed.
Use the no variant of this command to remove the configured port mapping.

6.2 Network Time Protocol (NTP)
6.2.1 Introduction
NTP is a protocol for synchronizing the time clocks on a collection of network devices using a distributed client/server mechanism. NTP uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) as the transport mechanism. NTP evolved from the Time Protocol (RFC 868) and the ICMP Timestamp message (RFC 792).
NTP provides protocol mechanisms to specify the precision and estimated error of the local clock and the characteristics of the reference clock to which it may be synchronized.
A number of primary reference clocks, synchronized to national standards, are connected to widely accessible resources (such as backbone gateways or switches) operating as primary time servers. The primary time servers use NTP between them to crosscheck clocks, to mitigate errors due to equipment or propagation failures, and to distribute time information to local secondary time servers. The secondary time servers redistribute the time information to the remaining local hosts.
The hierarchical organization and distribution of time information reduces the protocol overhead, and allows selected hosts to be equipped with cheaper but less accurate clocks. NTP provides information which organizes this hierarchy on the basis of precision or estimated error.
- An NTP entity operating in a client mode sends periodic messages to its peers, requesting synchronization by its peers.
- An NTP entity enters symmetric passive mode in response to a message from a peer operating in Symmetric Active mode. An NTP entity operating in this mode announces its willingness to synchronize and be synchronized by its peers.
- An NTP entity operating in broadcast mode periodically sends messages announcing its willingness to synchronize all of its peers but not to be synchronized by any of them.
The same message format is used for both requests and replies. When a request is received, the server interchanges addresses and ports, fills in or overwrites certain fields in the message, recalculates the checksum, and returns it immediately. The information included in the NTP message allows each client/server peer to determine the timekeeping characteristics of its peers, including the expected accuracies of their clocks. Each peer uses this information and selects the best time from possibly several other clocks, updates the local clock, and estimates its accuracy.
There is no provision in NTP for peer discovery, acquisition, or authentication. Data integrity is provided by the IP and UDP checksums. No reachability, circuit-management, duplicate-detection, or retransmission facilities are provided or necessary.
By its very nature clock synchronization requires long periods of time (hours or days) and multiple comparisons in order to maintain accurate timekeeping. The more comparisons performed, the greater the accuracy of the timekeeping.
6.2.2 NTP on the iMG
The implementation of NTP on the iMG is based on the following RFCs:
RFC 958, Network Time Protocol (NTP)
RFC 1305, Network Time Protocol (Version 3) Specification, Implementation and Analysis
RFC 1510, The Kerberos Network Authentication Service (V5)
Two modes of operation are supported: client and server. The switch is in client mode most of the time where it polls the configured peer at least once every preconfigured minimum time period.
The peer that the switch refers to must be a more accurate clock source than the switch itself or another switch directly connected to a more accurate clock source. The switch operates as a secondary time server. It cannot operate as a primary time server unless the primary clock source is operating in server mode. A primary clock source usually operates in broadcast mode, which is not supported by the switch's implementation of NTP. There is no support for clock selection or filtering. When the switch receives a valid reply from the peer, it synchronizes its own internal clock according to the information from the reply.
If the switch receives a synchronization request from an NTP client, it temporarily changes to server mode. It replies to the request with the current time from the switch's internal clock along with other information useful for synchronization. The switch's internal clock is accurate to 0.005 seconds.

6.3 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
This chapter describes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support provided by your device. This includes how to configure your device to:
• act as a DHCP and BOOTP server
• use the DHCP client to obtain IP addresses for its own interfaces
Note that you can configure your device to operate as both a DHCP relay agent and a DHCP/BOOTP server.
6.3.1 BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is a UDP-based protocol that enables a booting host to dynamically configure itself without external interventions. A BOOTP server responds to requests from BOOTP clients for configuration information, such as the IP address the client should use. BOOTP is defined in RFC 951, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP).
RFC 1542, Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol, defines extensions to the BOOTP protocol, including the behavior of a DHCP relay agent.
6.3.2 DHCP
DHCP is widely used to dynamically assign host IP addresses from a centralized server that reduces the overhead of administrating IP addresses. DHCP helps conserve the limited IP address space because IP addresses no longer need to be permanently assigned to hosts. DHCP centrally manages IP address assignment for a large number of subscribers.
DHCP is based on BOOTP, and is defined in RFC 2131. It extends the BOOTP mechanism by providing:
- a method for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network
• automatic allocation of reusable network addresses
- other additional configuration options
When your device is configured as a DHCP server, it allocates IP addresses and other IP configuration parameters to clients (hosts), when the client requests them. This lets you configure your IP network without manually configuring every client. Note that each client must also be configured to receive its IP address automatically.
As well as addresses, a DHCP server assigns a wide range of parameters to clients, including subnet information and mask, domain and hostname, server addresses, keepalive times, MTUs, boot settings, encapsulation settings, time settings, and TCP settings.
DHCP is designed to interoperate with BOOTP clients and DHCP clients, without the BOOTP clients needing any change to their initialization software.
6.3.3 Configuring the DHCP Server
The DHCP server uses address pools when responding to DHCP client requests. Address pools contains specific IP configuration details that the DHCP server can allocate to a client. Each VLAN corresponding to a LAN interface has its own address pool
To configure a pool, you must:
- Enter its configuration mode.
- Define the Network the pool applies to.
- Define the Range of IP addresses that the server can allocate to clients. You can specify multiple address ranges for each pool.
- Set the Lease for the clients. This defines whether the clients receive a dynamic, permanent, or static IP address.
- Set the Options (standard and user-defined) that the clients of a pool require when configuring their IP details.
After configuring the address pools, you can then enable the DHCP server by using the command:
awplus(config)# service dhcp server
6.3.3.1 Access the Pool
To access a DHCP pool and enter the configuration mode for the pool, use the command:
awplus(config)# ip dhcp pool <VLAN-id>
or the command:
awplus(config)# ip dhcp pool
6.3.3.2 Access the Pool for IPV6
To access a DHCP pool and enter the configuration mode for the pool, use the command:
awplus(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool <VLAN-id>
or the command:
awplus(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool
6.3.3.3 Define the Subnet
Define the subnet that the DHCP clients are in:
awplus(dhcp-config)# subnet <subnet-address>
6.3.3.4 Define the Range
Configure an IP address range for the pool. This range must be in the same subnet as the pool's network setting. Use the command:
awplus(dhcp-config)# range <ip-address> [<ip-address>]
The first IPv4 address specifies the low end of the range, while the second IP address is the high end. You can set the range to a single IP address by specifying only one IP address.
6.3.3.5 Set the Lease
The DHCP server assigns IP settings to hosts for specific times (the lease time). Each DCHP pool has one lease time setting. You can use DHCP to allocate the following types of addresses:
- A dynamic IP addresses - These are available to a host for a limited amount of time. When the lease expires, the server can reallocate the IP address to another device. To set the lease time for the DHCP pool so that it assigns dynamic IP addresses, use the command:
awplus(dhcp-config)# lease <days> <hours> <minutes>
- A permanent IP addresses - These are available to a host for an unlimited amount of time. To set the lease time to assign permanent IP addresses, use the command:
awplus(dhcp-config)# lease infinite
- A static IP addresses - These are allocated to a particular client. The DHCP server recognizes the client by its MAC address. This lets you use DHCP to manage most of your network automatically, while having unchanging IP addresses on key devices such as servers. To assign a static IP address to a device, use the command:
awplus(dhcp-config)# host <ip-address> <mac-address>
BOOTP requests can be satisfied by pools with leases set to infinity.
6.3.3.6 Set the Options
DHCP allows clients to receive options from the DHCP server. Options describe the network configuration, and various services that are available on the network. Options are configured separately on each DHCP pool. You can configure the following standard predefined options:
- dns-server
- domain-name
- filename
- subnet-mask
And the following extended options:
- nis-domain (dhcp option 40)
Network Management Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• nis-servers (dhcp option 41)
- ntp-servers (dhcp option 42)
- tftp-server-name (dhcp option 66)
• undefined-128 (dhcp option 128)
- undefined-201(dhcp option 201)
• vendor-class-identifier (dhcp option 60)
• vendor-specific-info (dhcp option 43)
• www-server (dhcp option 72)
• classless static route (dhcp option 121)
6.3.4 Configuring the DHCP Client
You can configure an interface on your device with a static IP address, or with a dynamic IP address assigned using your device's DHCP client. When you use the DHCP client, it obtains the IP address for the interface, and other IP configuration parameters, from a DHCP server. To configure an interface and gain its IP configuration using the DHCP client, use the command:
awplus(config)# interface <ifname>
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
The DHCP client supports the following IP configuration options:
- Option I - the subnet mask for your device.
- Option 3 - a list of default routers.
- Option 6 - a list of DNS servers. This list appends the DNS servers set on your device with the ip name-server command.
- Option 15 - a domain name used to resolve host names. This option replaces the domain name set with the ip domain-name command. Your device ignores this domain name if it has a domain list set using the ip domain-list command.
- Option 43 - a vendor-specific "ACS url".
- Option 51 - lease expiration time.
- Option 121 - Classless Static Route.
If an IP interface is configured to get its IP address and subnet mask from DHCP, the interface does not take part in IP routing until the IP address and subnet mask have been set by DHCP.
For information on configuring static IP address on an interface, see the ip address command.

Option 15 - a domain name used to resolve host names. This option replaces the domain name set with the ip domain-name command. Your device ignores this domain name if it has a domain list set using the ip domain-list command.
Option 121 - classless static route. Enables the DHCP client to request classless routes from the DHCP server.

IPV6 DHCP CLIENT PD
Syntax
ipv6 dhcp client pd
Description
The ipv6 dhcp client pd command enables request for prefix delegation through the interface on which this command is configured. When prefix delegation is enabled and a prefix is successfully acquired, the prefix is stored in the IPv6 general prefix pool with an internal name defined by the ipv6-prefix argument. Other commands and applications (such as the ipv6 address command) can then refer to the prefixes in the general prefix pool. The hint keyword with the ipv6-prefix argument enables the configuration of an IPv6 prefix that will be included in DHCP for IPv6 solicit and request messages sent by the DHCP for IPv6 client on the interface as a hint to prefix-delegating routers. Multiple prefixes can be configured by issuing the ipv6 dhcp client pd hint ipv6-prefix command multiple times. The new prefixes will not overwrite old ones. The rapid-commit keyword enables the use of the two-message exchange for prefix delegation and otherconfiguration. If it is enabled, the client will include the rapid commit option in a solicit message.

6.4 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
6.4.1 Introduction
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the network management protocol of choice for the Internet and IP-based internetworks.
This chapter describes the main features of SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1), SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c). It also describes support for SNMP on the switch, and how to configure the switch's SNMP agent.
Unless a particular version of SNMP is named, "SNMP" in this chapter refers to versions SNMPv and SNMPv2c.
Note: SNMPv3 is not supported.
6.4.2 Network Management Framework
A network management system has the following components:
- One or more managed devices, each containing an agent that provides the management functions. A managed device may be any computing device with a network capability, for example, a host system, workstation, terminal server, printer, router, switch, bridge, hub or repeater.
- One or more Network Management Stations (NMS). An NMS is a host system running a network management protocol and network management applications, enabling the user to manage the network.
- A network management protocol used by the NMS and agents to exchange information.

FIGURE 6-1 Components of a network management system
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework is the framework used for network management in the Internet. The framework was originally defined by the following documents:
- RFC 1155, Structure and identification of management information for TCP/IP based internets (referred to as the SMI), details the mechanisms used to describe and name the objects to be managed.
- RFC 1213, Management Information Base for network management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II (referred to as MIB-II), defines the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. The set of managed objects can be extended by adding other MIBs specific to particular protocols, interfaces or network devices.
- RFC 1157, A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), is the protocol used for communication between management stations and managed devices.
Subsequent documents that have defined SNMPv2c are:
• RFC 1901, Introduction to Community-based SNMPv2
• RFC 1902, Structure of Management Information for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)
• RFC 1903, Textual Conventions for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)
• RFC 1904, Conformance Statements for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol
• RFC 1905, Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)
• RFC 1906, Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)
• RFC 1907, Management Information Base for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)
- RFC 2576, Coexistence between Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3 of the Internet-standard Network Management Framework
• RFC 2578, Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMlv2)
• RFC 2579, Textual Conventions for SMIv2
• RFC 2580, Conformance Statements for SMlv2
6.4.3 Structure of Management Information
The structure of management information (SMI) defines the schema for a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual store called the management information base (MIB). The information in a MIB includes administrative and operational configuration information, as well as counters of system events and activities.
The MIB is organized into a tree-like hierarchy in which nodes are each assigned an identifier consisting of a non-negative integer and an optional brief textual description.
Each managed object is represented by a leaf node and is defined by its name, syntax, access mode, status and description. It can also be specifically identified by its unique position within the tree. This position is expressed as a series of dot-delimited sub-identifiers that start at the root node and end in the sub-identifier at the particular object's leaf node. For example, in Figure 85-2 the object named interfaces would be uniquely identified by the string of individual sub-identifiers, 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.

FIGURE 6-2 Top levels of the Internet-standard Management Information Base (MIB)
Objects defined in the Internet-standard MIB (MIB-II) reside in the mib(I) sub-tree.
6.4.4 Names
Names are used to identify managed objects, and are hierarchical in nature. An object identifier is a globally unique, authoritatively assigned sequence of non-negative integers which traverse the MIB tree from the root to the node containing the object.
Object identifiers may be represented in one of the following forms:
- Dotted notation lists the integer values found by traversing the tree from the root to the node in question, separated by dots. For example, the following identifies the MIB-II sub-tree:
1.3.6.1.2.1 - The following identifies the sysDescr object in the system group of MIB-II:
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 - Textual notation lists the textual descriptions found by traversing the tree from the root to the node in question, separated by spaces and enclosed in braces. For following example identifies the internet sub-tree:
{ iso org dod l } - The name may be abbreviated to a relative form. The following example identifies the first (directory) node of the internet sub-tree:
{internet I} - Combined notation lists both the integer values and textual descriptions found by traversing the tree from the root to the node in question. The integer value is placed in parentheses after the textual description. The labels are separated by spaces and enclosed in braces. For example, the following identifies the first (directory) node in the internet sub-tree:
{iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) 1}
• The name may be abbreviated to the following:
directory(I)
Since there is no effective limit to the magnitude of non-negative integers, and no effective limit to the depth of the tree, the MIB provides an unlimited name space.
An object is also usually assigned an object descriptor. The object descriptor is a unique, mnemonic, printable string intended for humans to use when discussing the MIB.
6.4.5 Instances
Objects are just templates for data types. An actual value that can be manipulated by an NMS is an instance of an object. An instance is named by appending an instance identifier to the end of the object's object identifier. The instance identifier depends on the object's data type:
- If the object is not a column in a table, the instance identifier is 0 (zero). For example, the instance of the sysDescr object is:
sysDescr.0
- If the object is a column in a table, the method used to assign an instance identifier varies. Typically, the value of the index column or columns is used.
The object ifTable in MIB-II contains information about interfaces and is indexed by the interface number, ifIndex. The instance of the ifDescr object for the first interface is:
ifDescr.1
If the index column is an IP address, the entire IP address is used as the instance identifier. The object ipRouteTable in MIB-II contains information about IP routes and is indexed by the destination address, ipRouteDest. The instance of the ipRouteNextHop object for the route 131.203.9.0 is:
ipRouteNextHop.131.203.9.0
If the table has more than one index, the values of all the index columns are combined to form the instance identifier. The object tcpConnTable in MIB-II contains information about existing TCP connections and is indexed by the local IP address (tcpConnLocalAddress), the local port number (tcpConnLocalPort), the remote IP address (tcpConnRemAddress) and the remote port number (tcpConnRemPort) of the TCP connection. The instance of the tcpConnState object for the connection between 131.203.8.36,23 and 131.203.9.197,1066 is:
tcpConnState.131.203.8.36.23.131.203.9.197.1066
or 1.3.6.1.2.1.6.13.1.1.131.203.8.36.23.131.203.9.197.1066
6.4.6 Syntax
The syntax of an object describes the abstract data structure corresponding to that object type. For example, INTEGER or OCTET STRING.
6.4.7 Access
The access mode of an object describes the level of access for the object.
Access modes for MIB objects are:
- Read-only The object's value can be read but not set.
- Read-write The object's value can be read and set.
- Write-only The object's value can be set but not read.
- Not-accessible The object's value cannot be read or set.
6.4.8 Status
The status of an object describes the implementation requirements for the object.
Status values for MIB objects are:
- Mandatory Managed devices must implement the object.
- Optional Managed devices may implement the object.
- Obsolete Managed devices need no longer implement the object.
- Deprecated Managed devices should implement the object. However, the object may be deleted from the next version of the MIB. A new object with equal or superior functionality is defined.
6.4.9 Description
The definition of an object may include an optional textual description of the meaning and use of the object. This description is often essential for successful understanding of the object.
6.4.10 The SNMP Protocol
The SNMP protocol provides a mechanism for management entities, or stations, to extract information from the Management Information Base (MIB) of a managed device.
The normal method of accessing information in a MIB is to use a Network Management Station (NMS), typically a PC or workstation, to send commands to the managed device (in this case the switch) using the SNMP protocol.
SNMP can use a number of different protocols as its underlying transport mechanism, but the most common transport protocol, and the only one supported by the switch, is UDP. Therefore the IP module must be enabled and properly configured in order to use SNMP. SNMP trap messages are sent to UDP port 162; all other SNMP messages are sent to UDP port 161. The switch's SNMP agent accepts SNMP messages up to the maximum UDP length the switch can receive.
Other transport mappings have been defined (e.g. OSI [RFC 1418], AppleTalk [RFC 1419] and IPX [RFC 1420]), but the standard transport mapping for the Internet (and the one the switch uses) is UDP. The IP module must be enabled and configured correctly. See Layer 3 Routing Command List for detailed descriptions of the commands required to enable and configure IP.
6.4.10.1 SNMP Versions
iMG supports SNMP version I (SNMPv1) and SNMP version 2c (SNMPv2c). The two versions operate similarly.
SNMPv2c updated the original protocol, and offered the following main enhancements:
- a new format for trap messages.
- the get-bulk-request PDU allows for the retrieval of large amounts of data, including tables, with one message.
- more error codes mean that error responses to set messages have more detail than is possible with SNMPv1.
- three new exceptions to errors can be returned for get, get-next and get-bulk-request messages. These are: noSuchObject, noSuchInstance, and endOfMibView.
SNMPv3 provides significant enhancements to address the security weaknesses existing in the earlier versions. This is achieved by implementing two new major features:
- Authentication - by using password hashing and time stamping.
- Privacy - by using message encryption.
Support for multiple versions of SNMP is achieved by responding to each SNMP request with a response of the same version. For example, if an SNMPv1 request is sent to the switch, an SNMPv1 response is returned. If an SNMPv2c request is sent, an SNMPv2c response is returned. Therefore, authentication and encryption functions are not invoked when messages are detected as having either an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol format.
6.4.10.2 SNMP Messages
The SNMP protocol is termed simple because it has only six operations, or messages—get, get-next, get-response, set, and trap, and SNMPv2c also has the get-bulk-request message. The replies from the managed device are processed by the NMS and generally used to provide a graphical representation of the state of the network. The two major SNMP operations available to a management station for interacting with a client are the get and set operations. The SNMP set operator can lead to security breaches, since SNMP is not inherently very secure. When forced to operate in either SNMPv1 or v2 mode, when operating with older management stations for example, care must be taken in the choice and safe-guarding of community names, which are effectively passwords for SNMP.
6.4.10.3 Polling versus Event Notification
SNMP employs a polling paradigm. A Network Management Station (NMS) polls the managed device for information as and when it is required, by sending get-request, get-next-request, and/or get-bulk-request PDUs to the managed device. The managed device responds by returning the requested information in a get-response PDU. The NMS may manipulate objects in the managed device by sending a set-request PDU to the managed device.
The only time that a managed device initiates an exchange of information is in the special case of a trap PDU. A managed device may generate a limited set of traps to notify the NMS of critical events that may affect the ability of the NMS to communicate with the managed device or other managed devices on the network, and therefore to “manage” the network. Such
events include the restarting or re-initialization of a device, a change in the status of a network link (up or down), or an authentication failure.
6.4.10.4 Message Format for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
Table 6-6: Fields in an SNMP message
| Field Function | |
| Version The version of the | SNMP protocol. The value is version-1 (0) for the SNMP protocol as defined in RFC 1157, or version-2c (1) for the SNMP protocol as defined in RFC 1902. |
| Community The name of | an SNMP community, for authentication purposes |
| SNMP PDU An SNMP Protocol Data Unit (PDU). | |
Table 6-7: SNMP PDUs
| PDU Function | |
| get-request Sent by an NMS to an agent, to retrieve the value of an object. | |
| get-next-request Sent by an NMS to an agent, to retrieve the value of the next object in the sub-tree. A sub-tree is traversed by issuing a get-request PDU followed by successive get-next-request PDUs. | |
| get-bulk-request Sent by an NMS to an agent to request a large amount of data with a single message. This is for SNMPv2c messages. | |
| set-request Sent by an NMS to an agent, to manipulate the value of an object. SNMP PDU Version Community | |
| get-response Sent by an agent to an NMS in response to a get-request, get-next-request, get-bulk-response, or set-request PDU. | |
| trap Sent by an agent to an NMS to notify the NMS of a extraordinary event. | |
| report Although not explicitly defined in the RFCs, reports are used for specific purposes such as EngineID discovery and time synchronization. | |
Table 6-8: Generic SNMP Traps
| Value Meaning | |
| coldStart | The agent is re-initializing itself. Objects may be altered. |
| warmStart | The agent is re-initializing itself. Objects are not altered. |
| linkDown | An interface has changed state from up to down. |
| linkUp | An interface has changed state from down to up. |
| authenticationFailure | An SNMP message has been received with an invalid community name. |
| egpNeighborLoss | An EGP peer has transitioned to down state. |
6.4.11 SNMP Communities (Version v1 and v2c)
A community is a relationship between an NMS and an agent. The community name is used like a password for a trivial authentication scheme. Both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c provide security based on the community name only.
6.4.11.1 SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
Although software levels 2.6.3 and higher support the specific facilities of SNMP v1 and v2, their documentation is available to provide backward compatibility with older network management systems. The far superior security features offered by implementing SNMPv3 should be used wherever possible.
The switch's implementation of SNMPv1 is based on RFC 1157, A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and RFC 1812, Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers.
When the SNMP agent is disabled, the agent does not respond to SNMP request messages. The agent is disabled by default. The current state and configuration of the SNMP agent can be displayed.
6.4.11.2 SNMP MIB Views for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
An SNMP MIB view is a arbitrary subset of objects in the MIB. Objects in the view may be from any part of the object name space, and not necessarily the same sub-tree. An SNMP community profile is the pairing of an SNMP access mode (read-only or read-write) with the access mode defined by the MIB for each object in the view. For each object in the view, the community profile defines the operations that can be performed on the object.
Pairing an SNMP community with an SNMP community profile determines the level of access that the agent affords to an NMS that is a member of the specified community. When an agent receives an SNMP message, it checks the community name encoded in the message. If the agent knows the community name, the message is deemed to be authentic and the sending SNMP entity is accepted as a member of the community. The community profile associated with the community name then determines the sender's view of the MIB and the operations that can be performed on objects in the view.
6.4.11.3 SNMP Communities
SNMP communities were introduced into SNMPv1 and retained in version 2c. Although the switch's software still supports communities, this is to provide backward compatibility with legacy management systems. Communities should not be used where a secure network is required. Instead, use the secure network features offered by SNMPv3.
An SNMP community is a pairing of an SNMP agent with a set of SNMP application entities. Communities are the main configuration item in the switch's implementation of SNMPv1 and v2, and are defined in terms of a list of IP addresses which define the SNMP application entities (trap hosts and management stations) in the community.
Important community names act as passwords and provide minimal authentication. Any SNMP application entity that knows a community name can read the value of any instance of any object in the MIB implemented in the switch. Any SNMP application entity that knows the name of a community with write access can change the value of any instance of any object in the MIB implemented in the switch, possibly affecting the operation of the switch. For this reason, take care with the security of community names.
When a trap is generated by the SNMP agent it is forwarded to all trap hosts in all communities. The community name and manager addresses are used to provide trivial authentication. An incoming SNMP message is deemed authentic if it contains a valid community name and originated from an IP address defined as a management station for that community.
When a community is disabled, the SNMP agent behaves as if the community does not exist and generates authentication failure traps for messages directed to the disabled community.
The SNMP agent does not support a default community called “public” with read-only access, traps disabled and open access as mandated in RFC 1812, as this is a security hole open for users who wish to use the switch with minimal modification to the default configuration. The default configuration of the switch has no defined communities. Communities must be explicitly created.
SNMP authentication (for SNMPv1 and v2) is a mechanism whereby an SNMP message is declared to be authentic, that is from an SNMP application entity actually in the community to which the message purports to belong. The mechanism may be trivial or secure. The only form of SNMP authentication implemented by the switch's SNMP agent is trivial authentication. The authentication failure trap may be generated as a result of the failure to authentication an SNMP message.
Switch interfaces can be enabled or disabled via SNMP by setting the ifAdminStatus object in the ifTable of MIB-II MIB to 'Up(1)' or 'Down(2)' for the corresponding ifIndex. If it is not possible to change the status of a particular interface the switch returns an SNMP error message.
The switch's implementation of the ifOperStatus object in the ifTable of MIB-II MIB supports two additional values—"Unknown(4)" and "Dormant(5)" (e.g. an inactive dial-on-demand interface).
Caution: An unauthorized person with knowledge of the appropriate SNMP community name could bring an interface up or down. Community names act as passwords for the SNMP protocol. When creating an SNMP community with write access, take care to select a secure community name and to ensure that only authorized personnel know it.
An SNMP MIB view is a subset of objects in the MIB that pertain to a particular network element. For example, the MIB view of a hub would be the objects relevant to management of the hub, and would not include IP routing table objects, for example. The switch's SNMP agent does not allow the construction of MIB views. The switch supports all relevant objects from all MIBs that it implements.
Note that the switch's standard set and show commands can also be used to access objects in the MIBs supported by the switch.
6.4.11.4 Defining Management Stations within Communities
You can add management stations to a community either individually, by entering just its IP address, or you can enter a range of management stations by entering an IP address that ends with a '/' character followed by a number between 1 and 32. The number that follows the '/' character operates as an address mask to define a range of addresses for the management stations. The following example shows how to allocate a band of three binary addresses to a portion of the subnet 146.15.1.X
In this example we make provision for up to 8 possible management stations within a community called “admin”.
6.4.12 Configuration Example (SNMPv1 and v2)
This example shows how to configure the switch's SNMP agent. Two network management stations have been set up on a large network. The central NMS (IP address 192.168.11.5) monitors devices on the network and uses SNMP set messages to manage devices on the network. Trap messages are sent to this management station. The regional network management station (IP addresses 192.168.16.1) is used just to monitor devices on the network by using SNMP get messages. Link traps are enabled for all interfaces on this particular switch.
IP and VLANs must be correctly configured in order to access the SNMP agent in the switch. This is because the IP module handles both the TCP transport functions, and the UDP functions that enable datagrams to transport SNMP messages.
To configure SNMP
1. Enable the SNMP agent.
Enable the SNMP agent and enable the generation of authenticate failure traps to monitor unauthorized SNMP access. SNMP is enabled by default in AlliedWare Plus.
awplus(config)# snmp-server
Note: Battery traps require the power-management feature to be enabled.

6.5.3 Universal Plug and Play
6.5.3.1 Introduction
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a networking protocol that permits devices, such as the iMG, to discover the presence of other devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. The iMG supports version 1.0 of the UPnP Device Architecture (http://upnp.org/specs/arch/UPnP-arch-DeviceArchitecture-v1.0.pdf).
6.5.3.2 UPnP on the iMG
The primary use for UPnP on the iMG is to allow the iMG to utilize the UPnP implementation of a NAT traversal protocol called Internet Gateway Device (IGD). A device that supports this combined UPnP/IGD protocol can reveal itself as an Internet Gateway Device. This opening can allow a local UPnP control point to perform a set of actions including:
• Retrieve the external IP address of the device
- Enumerate existing port mappings
- Add port mappings
- Remove port mappings
For example, by adding a port mapping, a UPnP controller behind the IGD can enable traversal of the IGD from an external address to an internal client.

7.1 Voice Service and Protocols
7.1.1 Introduction
Telephone service uses Voice Over Internet Protocol technology (VOIP). VOIP involves two components:
• The signaling protocol that manages the phone conversation
• The media protocol that encodes / encapsulates the audio information.
The Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family devices (referred to for the rest of this sections as the iMG) support media transmission through various audio codecs which are encapsulated in Real Time Protocol (RTP) packets. It supports two signaling protocols which are the following: Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). During operation only one protocol can be active, however switching between protocols is possible with relative ease.
Configuration of the voice system can be achieved through two mechanisms. The first configuration path is through the use of an Automated Configuration Server (ACS) utilizing the TR-069 and TR-104 specifications. Refer to Section I. Configuring voice service using the CLI is described in this section.
7.1.2 MGCP
The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) relies on a master / slave methodology. The Media Gateway Controller (MGC) is an "intelligent" central point where all call control decisions are made. In this architecture, the iMG plays the role of the Media Gateway (MG) and is responsible for carrying out any instructions that are given to it by the central server.
There are many different ways in which the iMG can be used in a MGCP environment. The two general forms of operation are an "out-of-band" configuration or a Network Controlled Signaling (NCS) configuration. The "out-of-band" mode of oper-
ation relies on the MGCP protocol to transmit information between the MGC and the MG. This would include events originating from the CPE (user events such as digits, hook changes) and information being sent to the device from the server (signal requests, media configuration). The details of the MGCP protocol are described in RFC3435. The NCS configuration utilizes the media stream itself to carry information between the server and the client (or between the two endpoints directly). Events and signals are encoded in the Real Time Protocol (RTP) using the mechanisms described in RFC4733
7.1.2.1 MGCP Endpoints
Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family devices support the configuration of each FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) voice port as a separate MGCP analogue endpoint allowing a different level of services (number of phone lines) to be delivered.
Each voice port is identified univocal through an endpoint identifier that, by default, takes the following syntax:
aaln/<slot>@[$IP]
where:
- AALN -Analog Access Line endpoint. This name indicates that the endpoint is analog type (only FXS voice interfaces are supported).
- indicates the index of the voice port. Physical voice ports start with index 0, the second physical voice port uses index 1 and so on. The starting number can be specified to be 1 rather than 0. - \$IP - it's the ip address of the ip interface where the MGCP protocol is enabled. It is typically used in a multi host configuration where more than one IP interface is configured in the system or when the ip interface is dynamic and therefore the value is dynamically assigned by the network.
Analog endpoint MGCP identifiers can be customized to meet VoIP network configuration requirements.
The syntax of the local name of each endpoint identifier is in the format:
aaln/<slot>
where
aaln/0
aaln/1
The syntax of the local name can be changed forcing the index of the POTS interfaces to start from 1 instead from 0 (i.e. aaln/1 and aaln/2):
awplus(config-mgcp)# endpoint offset
The syntax of the domain name component of each endpoint identifier can be set to any string and can use also special keywords identified by the "\$" sign that are automatically replaced by the value of the attribute that they represent.
The following two special keywords are supported:
- \$IP - when used, this keyword is automatically replaced by the ip address value (in IPv4 dotted format) of the ip interface where MGCP protocol has been enabled.
- \$MAC - when used, this keyword is automatically replaced by the MAC address of the Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family device.
- \$HOST – when used, this keyword is automatically replaced by the hostname of the Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family device.
It is therefore possible create complex endpoint identifiers like the following:
- aaln/0@[\$IP] that will be translated at runtime for example in: aaln/0@[172.30.1.1]
- aaln/0@\$IP that will be translated at runtime for example in: aaln/0@172.30.1.1
- aaln/0@\$MAC that will be translated at runtime for example in: aaln/0@00:0d:da:01:fe:ac
- aaln/0@any-string-here
To specify a new endpoint syntax for an existing voice port the following command is used:
Awplus(config-mgcp)# domain
Note: By default each endpoint is disabled. To enable the endpoint (i.e. to register each endpoint to the Call Agent) use the following command:
awplus(config-voiceport)# no shutdown
7.1.2.2 MGCP Wildcard
Wildcard is a method to reduce the amount of MGCP signaling traffic generated during the registration phase.
In this case the User Agent notifies to the Call Agent only one RSIP message (instead of two) to request the registration of both of the two endpoints.
Wildcard support is also needed for interoperability with some Call Agents that use wildcard in their Audit Endpoint requests.
To enable the wildcard support (by default it is disabled), the following command is used:
awplus(config-mgcp)# behavior rsip-range all
7.1.2.3 MGCP Heartbeat
The Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family supports the heartbeat mechanism to detect whether User Agents are still active. Each Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family voice port has a unique User Agent permanently associated to it. Heartbeat mechanism is typically requested on deployments that use Network Address Translation (NAT). The reason for this requirement is that if a NAT binding expires, there is no way for a Call Agent to send an incoming call to the User Agent as NAT bindings are generated via outgoing UDP packets. Using a heartbeat mechanism allows the User Agent to detect loss of the NAT binding (due for example to DSL uplink fails) and recreate it if required. The heartbeat mechanism is implemented through the use of Audit commands as AuditConnection and AuditEndpoint.
The Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family endpoints support a configurable messaging mechanism and a configurable heartbeat timer. The endpoint waits for either the expiration of this timer, the reception of a command for the endpoint from the Call Agent, or the detection of a local user activity for the endpoint, such as for example an off-hook transition.
If the heartbeat timer expires the User Agent enters the “disconnected” procedure. The User Agents run a further disconnect timer and if they do not receive a command from the Call Agent or detect local activity before the timer expires, the endpoint sends an RSIP disconnected command to the Call Agent. If it does not receive a response it continues to periodically retry to contact the provisioned Call Agents. If the Call Agent is using the above heartbeat mechanism, the heartbeat timer should be set to a value that allows the Call Agent to send an audit command sufficiently often that the User Agent will see at least 3 audit commands in the heartbeat time interval. This is to prevent a single packet loss causing the User Agent to become “disconnected”.
By default heartbeat is disabled and can be enabled via the following command:
Awplus(config-mgcp)# behavior heartbeat RSIP-refresh 10
When heartbeat is enabled, each endpoint (or User Agent) supervises the operative status of Call Agent independently of the status of the other endpoints.
It is possible to force a specific endpoint to check for Call Agent activity and to be master also for the other endpoints. If the specific endpoint does not receive a command from the Call Agent within the heartbeat timer time-out it forces all the User Agents to enter into the disconnected procedure.
To activate this behavior it's necessary to enable the heartbeat and specify also the master endpoint entering the following command:
awplus(config-mgcp)# behavior heartbeat RSIP-refresh 10 master tel2
If no commands are received from the Call Agent within the timeframe specified by the heartbeat refresh time, the User Agents starts to notify to the Call Agent an heartbeat message.
The type of MGCP message notified to the User Agent and used for the heartbeat can be selected between:
- NTFY L/hb
- RSIP Keepalive
- RSIP Refresh
The retransmission of heartbeat messages form the User Agent follows the same rules as for the transmission of any message sent by the User Agent.
The User Agent will attempt to send a maximum of "Request retries" messages for period of time no longer than "Request timeout" before entering into the disconnect procedure.
7.1.2.4 MGCP Call Agent Failover
The Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family supports dual Call Agents failover mechanism to switch between inactive to active call agents in order to support high availability services. The failover mechanism is triggered any time a request sent by the User Agents does not get any answer from the Call Agent within the round-trip time-out.
In this case if more than one call agent is configured, the User Agent will re-send the same command toward the second call agent. As soon the User Agent get an answer from the second call agent, the second call agent becomes the active call agent and will be used for all the subsequent requests.
The process repeats any time a call agent is not reachable switching in this way the communications between primary call agent to secondary call agent and vice versa.
To set the primary call agent use the following command:
awplus(config-mgcp)# call-agent <ip-address>
To specify the secondary call agent use the following command:
awplus(config-mgcp)# backup-call-agent <ip-address>
If the user Agent has sent a message but the Call Agent is not available (and the Backup Call Agent is not available too) the retransmission procedure takes place.
The User Agent will attempt to send the same MGCP message for a number of times defined by the ""Request retries" attribute and for a period of time not longer that the timeout specified by the "Request timeout" attribute.
If no answers are received, then the endpoint goes in disconnected status and RSIP-restart messages are sent until the registration is acknowledged.
The following commands are used to change the number of retries and the timeout duration:
awplus(config-mgcp)# request retries <number-of-retries>
awplus(config-mgcp)# request timeout <seconds>
7.1.3 SIP
7.1.3.1 Introduction
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implements a more flexible control methodology. This flexibility gives SIP the ability to be utilized in many different network architectures. Example models are given below:
- Master / Slave Signaling
This architecture follows the same model as MGCP. A central server is responsible for making all decisions and the protocol is used to notify the end devices what of what operations to perform. This system is used often in architectures that need to be strictly administered by a central authority.
2. Direct Signaling
SIP has the ability to communicate directly with any other device that implements the protocol. This includes another iMG or any other SIP Soft Phone product that may have access to the IP network. In this configuration, no server is required to provide signaling because the endpoints distribute the decision making responsibilities between them. A forwarding database is required on each endpoint so that requests can be directed to their proper proxy, gateway system or remote SIP endpoint device. This type of signaling may be done on a smaller network where administration is less complex and the number of devices is small.
3. Registration / Proxy Signaling
This architecture is a hybrid of the above two models. Each endpoint is required to register with a central agent called the Registrar. The purpose of this system is to provide directory service for every device on the network. When a call is initiated, the location of the destination device is determined. The server then has the option of notifying the originator of the destination's location, or it can act on behalf of the originator and complete the call
7.1.3.2 SIP Digit Map
The Digit Map is a rule used by the access port to understand when dialing is to be considered completed and the dialed number is ready to be processed by the call control layer. It works for outgoing calls (in the direction from user to VoIP network). A digit map is defined either by a (case insensitive) string or by a list of strings.
Each string in the list is an alternative numbering scheme, specified either as a set of digits or timers, or as an expression over which the port will attempt to find a shortest possible match. The following constructs can be used in each digit map:
- DTMF - A digit from '0' to '9' or one of the symbols 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'. Symbols '#' or '*', if necessary, have to be added separately.
- Timer - The symbol 'T' matching the timer expiry. The symbol 'T' at the end of Digit Map indicates that if user has not dialed a digit for a time longer than the value of the inter-digit time, the dialled number shall be considered complete. If the symbol T appears in the middle of digit map expression is not considered and skipped during expression evaluation.
- Wildcard - The symbol 'x', which matches any digit ('0' to '9').
- Range - One or more DTMF symbols enclosed between square brackets ('[' and ']).
- Subrange - Two digits separated by a hyphen (' -') that matches any digit between and including the two. The subrange construct can only be used inside a range construct, i.e., between [' and '].
- Position - A period (‘:’), which matches an arbitrary number, including zero, of occurrences of the preceding construct.
Note: The digit map, when fully expressed, shall not exceed 255 characters. Also, for call processing for SIP, the digit map is entered by the CLI or the NMS/ACS. For MGCP, it is sent to the iMG from the callagent using the MGCP messaging.
Let's consider an example where the user in an office wants to call a co-worker's 3-digit extension. The Digit Map is defined in such a way that the called number is processed after the user has entered 3 digits.
The command to set the Digit Map could look as follows:
Awplus(config-Dial-peer)# destination-pattern xxx
Note: Dial Peer 3 is the one that is used for routing calls – and thus the one that must be modified to achieve everything below.
This Digit Map specifies that after the user has entered any three digits, the call is placed. It's possible to refine this Digit Map by including a range of digits. For example, if all extensions in the user company begin with 2, 3, or 4, the corresponding Digit Map command could look as:
Voice Management Voice Service and Protocols
Awplus(config-Dial-peer)#destination-pattern [2-4]xx
If the number dialed begins with anything other than 2, 3, or 4, the call is rejected and a busy tone is generated.
Another way to achieve the same result would be:
Awplus(config-Dial-peer)#destination-pattern [234]xx
It is possible to combine two or more expressions in the same Digit Map by using the 'I' operator, which is equivalent to OR. The left-most expression has precedence over the other expressions.
Let's consider the case of a choice: the Digit Map must check if the number is internal (an extension), or external (a local call). Assuming that dialling '9' makes an external call, the Digit Map could be defined with the command:
Awplus(config-Dial-peer)# destination-pattern ([2-4]xx|9[2-9]xxxxxx)
In this case the Digit Map checks if the number begins with 2, 3, or 4 and the number has 3 digits. If not, it checks if the number begins with 9 and the second digit is any digit between 2 and 9 and the number has 7 digits
It may sometimes be required that users dial the “#” or “*” to make calls. This can be easily incorporated in a Digit Map with the command:
Awplus(config-Dial-peer)# destination-pattern xxxxxxxx# | xxxxxxxx*
The '#' or '*' character could indicate that users must dial the '#' or '*' character at the end of their number to indicate it is complete. When the outgoing call is in process, the call control layer removes any '#', '*' and 'T' symbols from the dialed number.
7.1.3.3 SIP Proxy and SIP Registrar (with Failover)
It is possible to specify different servers addresses for SIP Registrar and SIP Proxy.
SIP Registrar is used only for registration purposes.
Note: If no registrar is specified, the proxy server values will be used, and the iMG will attempt to register at the address of the SIP Proxy server.
SIP Proxy address must always be configured in order to have SIP signaling working properly during outgoing and incoming calls.
To configure SIP Registrar address use the following command:
awplus(config-sip-ua)# registrar
To configure SIP Proxy address use the following command:
awplus(config-sip-ua)# sip-server
It's also possible to specify the sip domain associated to each local dial-peer and used in the registration messages by the following command:
awplus(config-serv-sip)# localhost dns
For the Failover feature, it is possible to specify a secondary server for both Proxy and Registrar.
Note: You must always configure the Primary Proxy server (you cannot configure only the Secondary).
The rules for Proxy failover are as follows:
- The INVITE message is sent by the user agent four times. If there is no response, the user agent declares a failover and tries with the Secondary.
- If the four attempts on the Secondary fail, the user agent switches back to the Primary
Note: If Proxy servers are used for registration, it uses the same registration procedure but uses the proxy server list instead.
The rules for Registrar failover are as follows:
- The user agent will attempt registration for 28 seconds.
- If no response, restart registration is started on the Secondary with a delay of 20 seconds.
- If the secondary doesn't respond, the user agent returns to the Primary and tries again
- A successful registration marks a server as "active" and initiates are-registration on all endpoints
Note: Subsequent restarts will use the last known good registration agent.
7.1.4 Services (Common)
7.1.4.1 Dial Peers
Dial peers are used to control call routing. There are two different types of dial-peers supported:
The pots dial-peer is used to define the characteristics of the phone interface. For MGCP – this is essentially just the fact that the protocol is associated with this port; while for SIP – it includes the local address of the user that is associated with the port as well as other user specific information including the username. Currently two pots dial-peers are automatically created when the system is initialized. (tags 1 for tel1 and 2 for tel2). When the SIP protocol is enabled, it is automatically associated with these two Dial-Peers. Likewise, when the MGCP protocol is enabled, it is automatically associated with these two dial-peers.
The voip dial-peer maps a dialed digit string to a remote device. By default one dial-peer is created – (tag3). The user is then able to specify the digit map – via the destination-pattern option. By default, when a dial-peer is matched, the system will initiate the call to the configured sip server (under the sip-ua submenu).
Note: voip dial-peer settings affect only SIP protocol. It has no meaning when MGCP protocol is configured. In this case the digitmap is controlled and defined at runtime by the Call Agent.
It is possible to specify additional voip dial peers; each dial peer create has an associated sip server ip addresses and a destination pattern, creating a forwarding database.
7.1.4.2 DTMF Relay
Digit communication is most often accomplished in modern telephony through the use of DTMF tones. The idea is that different harmonies of frequencies relay different digits that the user presses. Very often in compression algorithms, these frequencies can be distorted or dropped. The solution is to add an additional mechanism through which digits and tones can be transmitted without interfering in audio communication.
MGCP Protocol
When MGCP protocol is used, it's possible to select in which way DTMF events can be notified to the Call Agent: RFC2833 or InBand.
Selection of RFC2833 method is done using the command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# dtmf-relay voip mode rtp-nte
The usage of RFC2833 to notify DTMF to the call agent depends if the Call Agent has explicitly requested the support for RFC2833 telephone-event:
- If the session has been established with Call Agent requiring RFC2833, then the User Agent will use it and will also notify each DTMF through MGCP NTFY messages.
- If the session has been established without the Call Agent requiring RFC2833, then the User Agent will notify each DTMF only through MGCP NTFY messages.
Selection of InBand method is done using the command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# no dtmf-relay
In this case, independently if the session has been established with Call Agent requiring or not requiring RFC2833, the User Agent will notify each DTMF only through MGCP NTFY messages and DTMF will be present in the voice media path.
Similar to DTMF, it's also possible to notify Named Telephone Events (i.e. On-Hook, Off-Hook, Flash-Hook events) by mean of RFC2833.
Selection of RFC2833 method for the Named Telephone Events is done using the command:
awplus(config-mgcp)# package-capability lcs-package
As for DTMF, the usage of RFC2833 to notify Named Telephone Events to the call agent depends if the Call Agent has explicitly requested the support for RFC2833 named-telephone-event:
- If the session has been established with Call Agent requiring RFC2833, then the User Agent will use it and will also notify each Telephone Event through MGCP NTFY messages.
- If the session has been established without the Call Agent requiring RFC2833, then the User Agent will notify each Telephone Event only through MGCP NTFY messages.
It is possible to force the User Agent to notify Named Telephone Events by means of RFC2833 independently from the session attribute negotiation by entering the following command:
awplus(config-mgcp)# rtp payload-type nte static
It is also possible to set a specific payload type to be used on RFC2833 packets by entering the following command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# rtp payload-type nte
Note: The usage of RFC2833 for DTMF relay is incompatible with the usage of RFC2833 for Named Telephone Events and vice versa. Once RFC2833 option is user for a class of events, the other class of events cannot use RFC2833.
Note: The usage of RFC2833 for Named Telephone Events applies only for MGCP-NCS signaling profile.
SIP Protocol
When SIP protocol is used, it's possible to select in which way DTMF events can be notified to the Call Agent: RFC2833 or InBand or SIP Information.
Selection of RFC2833 or SIP Info is done using the command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# dtmf-relay voip mode rtp-nte
or
awplus(config-voi-srv)# dtmf-relay voip mode rtp-nte sip-notify
while selection of InBand method is done using the command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# no dtmf-relay
- When RFC2833 is enabled, the User Agent will try to negotiate it with the Softswitch and only if negotiation ends successfully, DTMF will be sent encapsulated in RFC2833. Otherwise DTMF will be sent InBand.
- When SIP Info is enabled, RFC2833 is not negotiated (or any attempt to negotiate it is refused) and the User Agent will use always SIP Info messages to notify DTMF.
- Finally, when InBand setting is configured, RFC2833 is not negotiated (or any attempt to negotiate is refused) and the User Agent will send DTMF only in the voice media path.
As for MGCP, it's also possible to set a specific payload type to be used on RFC2833 packets by entering the following command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# rtp payload-type nte
7.1.4.3 Telecom Tone Management
The iMG is able to reproduce the same country-specific telecom tones used by Central Offices or Foreign Exchanges.
To change the country tones settings enter the following command:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# cptone
Dial Tone, Busy Tone, and Ring Back Tone refer to ITU-T E.180 specifications as reported in the following table:

7.1.4.4 Media Format
The audio of a phone conversation is converted into a byte stream using an encoding codec. There are several different codecs available; each has different positives and negatives depending on the customer's needs and the resources of the network. The two characteristics that are most affected by the codec selection are the required bandwidth and the overall quality of the audio when it reaches its destination. A higher quality codec has better audio performance but requires more network bandwidth to complete a call. Audio performance is important for customer / user satisfaction but a provider's network resources may be limited. Other codecs are available which utilize compression algorithms to reduce their bandwidth consumption, while still providing an acceptable level of audio performance. Unfortunately, these codecs may impair the function of automated devices such as modems or fax machines.
There are two solutions to this problem which are the following: protocol based indications and RFC2833 style indications. The first method involves using the signaling protocol itself to transmit the digits. On SIP this often is implemented through the use of INFO messages and in MGCP it is accomplished through the use of NTFY messages. Details of these mechanisms are covered in other references. The second method that can be used is to follow the RFC2833 specification if RTP is the media format in use. This mechanism encodes the digit or tone using a different format, but placing it in the existing data stream.
7.1.4.5 FAX/Modem Relay
Fax and modem communication is susceptible to the same distortion and encoding issues that are described in the section regarding DTMF Relay. The function of fax machines and modems relies on the transmission of data using a spectrum of tones and data encoded throughout the audio stream. The issues with these devices can be solved in one of two ways which are the following: switch the encoding format to one that is less likely to cause data distortion (a clear codec) or by using another encoding format all together that is designed to carry the data format (T.38 is a good example for fax).
The most commonly implemented solution is to perform an "upshift" of the codec to a higher bandwidth codec. The CPE (if properly configured) will monitor for tones indicating that an upshift is required and the appropriate actions are taken to notify all members of the call that a high bandwidth encoding is required. The second option is to switch to a specifically defined encoding format which is best suited for the data format. In the case of fax transmissions, a common format that is being deployed for use is T.38.
7.1.4.6 RTP Media Management
Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family devices allow to specify a specific pool of IP UDP ports to be used for media (RTP) transport. Each even media port is paired with the subsequent odd port and assigned to RTP or RTCP streams respectively.
The maximum number of simultaneously streams is therefore half of the size of the media range. When VoIP MGCP protocol is used, the lowest ports pair is assigned to the first configured end-point, the subsequent pair is assigned to the second configured end-point and so on.
When SIP protocol is used, ports pair are used in a round robin fashion.
The Allied Telesis Gateway Product Family devices allow you to specify a specific RTP packetization time for each codec as the timeframe between two consecutive RTP packets. Packetization time can also be negotiated at runtime during the call establishment phase.
The value specified via CLI is the value that is normally advertised by the VoIP protocol (via VoIP signalling messages) and that is used when it is not negotiated during the call setup.
7.1.4.7 Distinctive Ringing
For each country exists a table of ring patterns identified as Pattern1, Pattern2...that are typically used to inform the user about special or priority calls. On SIP only, it's possible then to specify what ring pattern must be played accordingly to the Alert-Info header string received in the SIP INVITE message during an incoming call..
Note: This feature is for a future release.
7.1.4.8 Prefix Replacement
Only for SIP protocol, it's possible to automatically add a prefix or replace the first part of a dialed number. The administrator can create a set of rules (a translation set) that look for specific patterns in the dialed number and then perform an action like replace the matching number with another one or add a prefix in front of the dialed number. A translation set is created by entering the command voice translation-rule
- All the users belonging to the company are registered using their full address: area code + company number + office extension. Calls between company users need to be presented to the hosted PBX using the full destination address but to simplify the internal communication we want to use only the telephone extension numbers preceded by the digit 5. A prefix replacement that checks if the first digit is 5 and then replace it with the area code and company number is therefore a perfect solution.
- Calls to international numbers that start with 011 need to be replaced by the prefix 00.
- Calls to local area numbers not leading with 0 need to prefix with the local area code
- And finally a call to the number 9 must be replaced to the front desk phone number.
The following are the steps needed to configure the above behavior:
- Create a translation set with index I
- Create the first rule that replaces the leading digit 5 with the complete company phone number (02-1723231)
- Create the second rule that replaces the leading international prefix number 011 with the code 00
- Create the third rule that replaces the number 9 with the front desk number (02-1723231201)
- Create the fourth rule that add the local area code (prefix 02) to any number that starts with 1-9
aawplus(config)# voice translation-rule 1
awplus(config-voi-trans-rule)# rule 0 5 021723231 replace
awplus(config-voi-trans-rule)# rule 1 011 00 replace
awplus(config-voi-trans-rule)# rule 2 9 021723231201 replace
awplus(config-voi-trans-rule)# rule 3 [1-9]x 02 prefix
- Assign the translation set to the POTS interface
awplus(config)# dial-peer voice 1 pots
awplus(config-dial-peer)# translate-outgoing 1
- The translation set I should look something like:
awplus# show voice translation-rule 1

7.1.5 Voice Quality Management
To increase the voice/data quality additional parameters can be set on the voice system DSP. The following settings are available on iMG models:
- Jitter buffer. It's possible to specify the way jitter buffer operates: adaptive or fixed. It's also possible to specify the jitter buffer depth (from 60msec to 200msec) or to disable it completely.
- Separate TX and RX direction (from user-to-network and from network-to-user respectively) volume gain control. Adjustable between -48dB and +24dB (1 dB increments).
• Voice activity detection (VAD)/comfort noise generation (CNG).
It's also possible to configure the DSCP value for RTP streams and for VoIP signaling messages originated at the iMG.
The following command configure the DSCP value for rtp streams:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# ip rtp precedence <dscp-value>
The following command configure the DSCP value for VoIP signaling messages:
awplus(config-voi-srv)# ip signaling precedence <dscp-value>
Note: SIP and MGCP voip protocols also set automatically the COS (802.1p) value for originated messages and streams to the value 5. This value cannot be changed.
7.2 Voice Service Configuration for the iMG
7.2.1 Overview
The following figures show how MGCP and SIP service can be configured using the iMG. There is a separate figure for each type of protocol, since providers usually provide only one service type for their network.
These figures re similar to the figures introduced in Section 2 in that the same VLANs are used: VLAN10 for data and VLAN40 for video.
Note: VLAN7, which is used for the AlliedView NMS VLAN, is not included in this figure, since it was set up for data and video services. However, VLAN7 can be included to be used for voice service through the use for NMS profiles for voice and voice service GUIs. Refer to the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide.

7.2.2 Basic Command Sequences for Provisioning
Refer to Table 1-2, which lists the Modes used for the command set, how to access them, and what they provide.
MGCP and SIP provisioning usually follow a command sequence that starts at a high level (select the protocol, system-wide attributes), provisions the ports for the protocol, and then associates the ports with specific attributes for the subscriber/endpoints.
This sequence is shown in the following tables.
Table7-5 is for MGCP with the following attributes:
Table7-6 is for SIP with the following attributes:

BEHAVIOR HOOK-FLASH (CONFIG-SIP-UA)
Syntax
behavior hook-flash {ext-in-call|external|internal|default} no behavior hook-flash
Description
Configure how the iMG processes hook-flash events for call-waiting, three-way call and call-transfers. The iMG can handle these call features internally to behave as an 'intelligent' SIP access device or as a 'non-intelligent' SIP access device and let the call-server handle the call features. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command or use the 'default' option. The default value used depends on the sip-server profile selected (see default setting description).
Feature Voice-SIP Commands
| Option Description Range Default Value | |||
| ext-in-call | Configure hook-flash for external control during a call. Hook-flash events during a call will be handled by SIP INFO. This is a modified version of the 'non-intelligent' mode of operation. | NA | NA |
| external | Configure hook-flash for external control. Hook-flash events will typically be handled by SIP INFO whenever possible. This is the 'non-intelligent' mode of operation. | NA | NA |
| internal | Configure hook-flash for internal control. Hook-flash events will typically be handled by SIP INVITE. This is the 'intelligent' mode of operation. | NA | NA |
| default The | default setting depends on the sip-server profile used (see behavior sip-server command). 'Internal' is the default for all sip-server profiles expect for the Lucent profile which defaults to 'ext-in-call'. | NA | NA |
Default The hook-flash control is set to a preferred setting by the sip-server profile used (see behavior sip-server command):
Hook-flash behavior sip-server profile internal (none), Broadsoft ext-in-call Lucent
The no form of this command will reset the hook-flash behavior to 'Internal' for any of the sip-server profile settings.
Source
The ability to process the incoming SIP INFO messages is controlled by the sip-server profile. So if you receive an INFO message from the Lucent switch it will play CWT tone. However if you attempt to flash-hook its going to send out an INVITE / inactive instead of an INFO / hook-flash. Same rules apply to Broadsoft profile. Having Broadsoft configured will allow the Broadsoft formatted INFO message. If you have changed the hook-flash control from "internal" to "ext-in-call" the hook-flash will cause an INFO / hook-flash instead of handling the call-wait internally. In summary, the sip-server profile setting will configure the SIP INFO message format and set the hook-flash control to a preferred setting. But it can be overridden by the CLI. You should only need to do this for an unexpected operating environment.

RULE
Syntax
rule
Description
Creates a new translation rule inside the selected translation set. The rule will look inside the dialed number for the digit-map and if finds a correspondence it will replace the digit-map with the digits (if replace action has been specified) or will add a the digits as prefix (if prefix action has been selected). The default action is replace. The priority value is used to specify which rule is checked first. The lowest priority values have precedence over the highest values. As soon a positive match happens, the action rule is applied.

7.4 Configuring Voice Applications on Device and Ports
This section describes the telephone features, usually where the subscriber enters an access code, with a prefix and suffix, to activate or deactivate the feature. Voice applications are configured using commands from the following:
- Access Codes - This is where the access codes are defined that allow the subscriber to activate, deactivate, and in some cases provide telephone numbers that may be part of a features (such as call forwarding). These are configured at the device level.
Voice Management Configuring Voice Applications on Device and Ports
• Supplementary Services - This is where services are defined on a port basis (tell o tel2).
- Endpoints - This is where the features for the voice port (tell or tel2) are activated.
7.4.1 Access Codes (Supplementary Services) Command list (config-voipapp-fac)
This sub-section provides an alphabetical reference for commands used to configure access codes, which are used to configure various subscriber services.
Note: When setting up access codes, be aware that if you use the Prefix command (usually set at '*', all activation codes are set to * as the default setting. If any feature is then enabled without explicitly setting its activation code, there can be unintended matches and so unexpected results. Therefore, ensure that after setting up a Prefix, configure the access code for each feature that will be enabled. (You can also not use the Prefix command and include the * as part of the feature code command.) Refer to prefix (config-voipapp-fac).

PREFIX (CONFIG-VOIPAPP-FAC)
Syntax
prefix
Description
Specifies the character that is used to identify that the following digits are a control (activation) code.
If you enter the command no prefix, it will remove the * as part of the activation code or be set to "not configured" if no activation code has been entered.
Be aware that setting Prefix will insert (prepend) the prefix value to all activation codes (except 'suffix'). Once the prefix is set, all activation codes will start with *. Moreover, the system will process any activated call feature starting with the *, even if they do not have an activation code and so are only partially configured. This can lead to unexpected results.
Because of this, if you set Prefix, ensure all activation codes that will be used are completely configured with the digits needed (i.e. *70 instead of *). Refer to the Example below, where per-call access code is *70. If call waiting is also enabled, when the subscriber enters *70 followed by specific number, it will be processed as a call waiting feature immediately after the *. Therefore, when setting a Prefix, ensure that all features that are enabled have explicit activation codes.

8. Using the GUI Application
8.1 Overview
8.1.1 Introduction
The iMG GUI allows the administrator to perform many of the query/control tasks for the iMG in a non-command environment. Refer to How to Access the Product for the steps to bring up the GUI on your browser.
Caution: While configuration tasks can be done with the GUI, most should be done using the AlliedView NMS or CLI, since these allow more control and are done in the context of a larger task. Where appropriate, there is a reference to a previous section of this document or the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide.
The following figure shows the initial screen, which is the Device Info -> Summary menu item.
Note: The recommended browser is Internet Explorer 8 since it has been fully validated.

8.3 Split Management
The iMG GUI allows the system administrator to provide a limited set of configuration WEB pages to the end user.
To reduce the content of the WEB pages, it's sufficient to configure a new Login user with privileges 9 to 14.
For example:
awplus# configure
awplus(config)# username home-user privilege 9 password my-home-pwd
By default a web login is created with username "admin" and password "admin" and privileged level equals to 14.
The following WEB pages are available when Split Management is configured:
• Device Info --> Summary
• Device Info --> WAN Info
• Device Info --> Statistics LAN
• Device Info --> Statistic WAN
• Device Info --> Route
Using the GUI Application Split Management
• Device Info --> Arp
