L2 SwitchingThe IEEE 802.1Q standard VLANs are supported and the default configuration is as follows:

• All ports are VLAN aware.

• All ports are members of VLAN 1.

Basic ConfigurationsL2 Switching

b_ME1200_Web_GUI_book_chapter_0101.pdf#unique_19


• The switch management interface is on VLAN 1.

• All ports have a Port VLAN ID (PVID) of 1.

• All ports can send and receive both VLAN-tagged and untagged packets.

In the default configuration, any port is able to send traffic to any other port, and a PC connected to any portwill be able to reach the management interface. Broadcast traffic, for example, will be flooded to all ports onthe switch.

1 is always reserved for the default VLAN. The range of the VLAN ID is 2 to 4095.Note

Configuring VLAN for UNI and NNI Ports

It is recommended that you retain both ports as trunk ports with the range of all allowed VLANS.Note

For more information on configuring a private VLAN, see the Configuring Private VLANs section. .

Port Mode

The port mode (default is Access) determines the fundamental behavior of the port in question. A port can bein one of three modes as described below.

• AccessAccess ports are normally used to connect to end stations. Dynamic features like Voice VLAN may addthe port to more VLANs behind the scenes. Access ports have the following characteristics:

◦Member of exactly one VLAN, the Port VLAN (also called as Access VLAN), which by defaultis 1, accepts untagged frames and C-tagged frames.

◦Discards all frames that are not classified to the Access VLAN.

◦On egress all frames are transmitted untagged.

• TrunkTrunk ports can carry traffic on multiple VLANs simultaneously, and are normally used to connect toother switches. Trunk ports have the following characteristics:


5

Basic ConfigurationsConfiguring VLAN for UNI and NNI Ports

◦By default, a trunk port is member of all existing VLANs. This may be limited by the use ofAllowed VLANs.

◦By default, all frames but frames classified to the Port VLAN (also called as Native VLAN) gettagged on egress. Frames classified to the Port VLAN do not get C-tagged on egress.

◦Egress tagging can be changed to tag all frames, in which case only tagged frames are acceptedon ingress.

• HybridHybrid ports do resemble trunk ports in many ways, but adds additional port configuration features. Inaddition to the characteristics described for trunk ports, hybrid ports have these abilities:

Port Type

Ports in hybrid mode allow for changing the port type, that is, whether a frame's VLAN tag is used toclassify the frame on ingress to a particular VLAN, and if so, which TPID it reacts on. Likewise, onegress, the Port Type determines the TPID of the tag, if a tag is required.

Unaware:On ingress, all frames, whether carrying a VLAN tag or not, get classified to the Port VLAN,and possible tags are not removed on egress.

C-Port: On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with TPID = 0x8100 get classified to the VLAN IDembedded in the tag. If a frame is untagged or priority tagged, the frame gets classified to the Port VLAN.If frames must be tagged on egress, they will be tagged with a C-tag.

S-Port:On ingress, frames with a VLAN tagwith TPID = 0x8100 or 0x88A8 get classified to the VLANID embedded in the tag. If a frame is untagged or priority tagged, the frame gets classified to the PortVLAN. If frames must be tagged on egress, they will be tagged with an S-tag.

S-Custom-Port: On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with a TPID = 0x8100 or equal to the Ethertypeconfigured for Custom-S ports get classified to the VLAN ID embedded in the tag. If a frame is untaggedor priority tagged, the frame gets classified to the Port VLAN. If frames must be tagged on egress, theywill be tagged with the custom S-tag.

MAC Table ConfigurationThe following per port configuration parameters are available for MAC Learning configuration:

• Auto - Learning is done automatically as soon as a frame with unknown SMAC is received.

• Disable - No learning is done.

• Secure - Only static MAC entries are learned, all other frames are dropped.

The static entries can be configured in the MAC table for forwarding and the below parameters are allowed.The static MAC table can contain 64 entries.

To configure the MAC table, Configuration >MAC Table.

Ethernet ServicesMEF standards describe services provided to customers at User Network Interfaces (UNIs). Inside providernetworks, nodes are connected using Internal Network-to-Network Interfaces (I-NNIs). Connections betweenservice providers are done using External Network-to-Network Interfaces (E-NNIs). An Ethernet VirtualConnection (EVC) is an association of two or more UNIs.

These parameters vary according to the Tag type selected. The User Network Interface (UNI) port(s) needsto be selected for the ECE, and then the Tag type. Different parameter options are displayed depending onthe Tag type selected.

For details of each parameter, refer to the Help section on the GUI. The EVC/ECE Service statistics can beviewed via the Monitor pages.

EPL Service between UNI and NNITo set up an EPL service between UNI and NNI:

• Set up an EPL service (all to one bundling) on a UNI (port 1).

• On NNI (port 4) egress, add a tag (54).

• On UNI egress, pop or remove the tag.

First, create EVC as shown below. VID is 54, for IVID, that is, the internal VID used for internal classificationis also set to 54, but any unique value can be used. Learning is disabled because this is a point to point serviceand the NNI port is 4. Double VLAN tagging on the NNI is not used, so no inner tag is specified. The OuterTag VID used for uni-directional NNI to UNI service and is not used here.

Basic ConfigurationsEPL Service between UNI and NNI

Then, create EVC Control Entry (ECE). The ECE controls the UNI configuration. The following parametersare used for this service:

• UNI port is port 1.

• UNI matching is any for all to one bundling.

• MAC parameters are set to any.

• NNI outer tag allows inserting a tag on the UNI. This is for unidirectional services only.Actions: EVC ID is 1.

◦Direction is both equal to a bidirectional service.

◦Tag Pop Count is 0 for EPL service, that is, all frames are passed to the EVC without popping anytags.

◦The policy ID is used to point to an ACL. The ACL can then be used to select an EVC policer.This service is not using any policer, policy ID 0 is used.

EVPL Service between UNI and NNI (bundle #1)

Set up an EVPL service (bundling) on a UNI (port 2) for CEVLAN IDs 10-20.

• On NNI (port 4) egress, add a tag 54.


EVC configuration is the same as the first example.

ECE Configuration

Create ECE (EVC Control Entry)

The following parameters are used for this service:


• Uni Matching VID 10-20.


• NNI outer tag allows to insert a tag on the UNI. This is for uni-directional services only, and is not usedhere.

Actions: EVC ID is 2.

• Direction is both equal to a bidirectional service.


13

Basic ConfigurationsEVPL Service between UNI and NNI (bundle #1)

• Tag Pop Count is 0 for EVPL service, that is, all frames are passed to the EVC without popping anytags. The UNI tag is preserved.

• The policy ID is used to point to an ACL. The ACL can then be used to select an EVC policer. Thisservice is not using any policer, policy ID 0 is used.

EVPL service between UNI and NNI (bundle #2), same UNI, NNI as above

Set up an EVPL service (bundling) on a UNI (port 2) for CEVLAN IDs 61, 64, 70.

• On NNI (port 4) egress, add a tag 54.


First, create EVC as shown in figure. VID is 54, Inner VID is 54. Learning is disabled because this is apoint-to-point service and the NNI port is 4. Then, create ECE (EVC Control Entry).

The following parameters are used for this service:

Basic ConfigurationsEVPL service between UNI and NNI (bundle #2), same UNI, NNI as above


• UNI Matching VID 61.


• NNI outer tag allows to insert a tag on the UNI. This is for unidirectional services only, and is not usedhere.

Actions: EVC ID is 3.

• Direction is both equal to a bidirectional service.

• Tag Pop Count is 0 for EVPL service, that is, all frames are passed to the EVC without popping anytags. The UNI tag is preserved.

• The policy ID is used to point to an ACL. The ACL can then be used to select an EVC policer. Thisservice is not using any policer, policy ID 0 is used.

Create similar ECE for 64 and 70 with the same EVC ID.
