Ethernet Switch

Switch Configuration

FibeAir IP-10 supports Single Pipe and Managed Switch configurations.

Single Pipe is the default method, and does not require a license. The Managed Switch method requires a license.

Single (Smart) Pipe is the default method, which allows only a single GBE interface for traffic (optical GBE-SFP or Electrical GBE, 10/100/1000 mbps). Traffic originating from any GBE interface will be sent directly to the radio and vice versa. This method allows QoS configuration. Other FE (10/100 mbps) interfaces are "functional" interfaces (WSC, Protection, Management).

Managed Switch is a 802.1Q VLAN-aware bridge, allowing L2 switching based on VLANs. Each traffic port can be configured as an "access" port or a "trunk" port, as follows:

Type VLANs Allowed Ingress Frames

Allowed Egress Frames

Access Specific VLAN should be associated with the access port

Only untagged frames (or frames tagged with VID=0 ("Priority Tagged")

Untagged frames

Trunk

A range of VLANs or all VLANs should be associated with the trunk port

Only tagged frames Tagged frames

The Managed Switch method allows QoS configuration, and all Ethernet ports are allowed for traffic.

In theSwitch Configuration page, you can choose the Ethernet switching method.


Choose the method you want, as follows:

Single pipe - Ethernet switching is disabled, whereby only a single Ethernet interface is used for traffic and the unit operates as a point-to-point microwave Ethernet radio.

Managed switch - For Layer 2 802.1Q switching.

In the Unit allowed VIDs area, you can define VLANs for the managed switch, as follows:

In the Operation field, select the operation you want to perform for the VLANs:

Set - to add the VLANs to the database.

Remove - to remove the VLANs from the database.

Change name - to change the VLAN name you specified previously.

Disable - to suspend usage of the VLAN you specified.

Enable - to activate the VLAN you specified.

In the Start/End VID fields, enter the VLAN start and end IDs.

In the Name field, specify a unique name for the VLAN.




QoS &Rate Limiting

The QoS feature allows you to configure classification and scheduling to ensure packets are forwarded and discarded according to their priority. QoS can be configured for all switch methods (Single Pipe, Managed Switch, and Metro Switch).

The QoS flow is as follows:

Egress Port #yIngress Port #x

Calssifier(4 Queues)

5 Policers(Ingress

RateLimiting)

QueueController

Shaper(Egress rate

limiting)Marker Scheduler

The QoS & Rate Limiting page lets you configure Quality of Service parameters for each Ethernet port.

Ingress Classifier

A frame ingressed to a port will be classified according to the following criteria:

1. First Criteria: MAC DA (Destination Address) overwrite. A frame ingressed to a port, carrying a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table (see details below), will be classified, its VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (assuming the frame egress is tagged) according to the following options:

Disable - No MAC DA classification or VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (no marking).

Queue Decision - There will only be classification to queue. No marking.


VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (marked). Classification according to a lower criteria.

Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.

2. Second Criteria: VLAN ID overwrite. If the first criteria is not fulfilled (whether it is disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table), classification and/or marking (VLAN Pbits overwrite, assuming the frame egress is tagged) will be decided according to the VLAN ID to Queue table (see below), in accordance with the following options:

Disable - No VLAN ID classification or VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking).

Queue Decision - Only classification to queue. No marking.

VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking). Classification will be according to lower criteria.

Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.

3. Third Criteria: If both the first and second criteria are not fulfilled (whether they are both disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA or VLAN ID that appears in the tables), it will be classified according to the following configuration:

VLAN Pbits - Classification according to VLAN Pbits. Queue is assigned according to the VLAN Pbits to Queue table (see below).

IP TOS - Classification according to IP TOS (IP precedence, or IP diffserv). Queue is assigned according to IP Pbits to Queue table (see below).

VLAN Pbits over IP TOS - Classification according to VLAN Pbits, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header.

IP TOS over VLAN Pbits - classification according to IP TOS, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header.

Port (Default) - If any of the above criteria is not fulfilled, the default classification will be assigned to the ingress frame.

4. Default Classification - The default queue decision.

Classifier Tables (in the Advanced field)

The following tables are available for configuration:

VLAN-Pbits to Queue - Single table for all switches. Used to assign a queue to a frame, according to the frame’s Pbits (CoS), assuming the frame is tagged. The number of table entries is eight (all CoS legal values).

IP-Pbits to Queue - Single table for all switches. Used to assign a queue to a frame, according to the frame’s IP priority bits (IP-Precedence or Diffserv), assuming the frame is an IP packet. The number of table entries is:

IP Precedence configuration: 8 entries.

DiffServ configuration: 64 entries.

VLAN-ID to Queue - Single table for all switches. Used to assign a queue to a frame, according to the frame’s VLAN-ID. The number of table entries depends on the number of VLANs that have a "Queue allocation" definition. By default, VLANs do not have a pre-determined "Queue allocation".

VLAN Pbits Priority Remap - Single table per port. Allows you to remap VLAN-priority bit values 0-7, to any other preferable value in the range of 0-7. The number of table entries is eight (all CoS legal values).


Remapping a table can be used to scale down some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 3:0), while at same time scaling up some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 7:4), or to ensure that specific priorities are reserved for specific purposes, by initially remapping all frames away from reserved priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 4:0, protecting priorities 7:5).

Scheduler - Determines how frames will be output from the queues.

Note that the fourth queue is the Highest Priority Queue, and the first queue is the Lowest Priority Queue.

The following scheduling schemes are supported:

Strict for all queues.

Strict for fourth queue, and HRR (Hierarchical Round Robin) for third, second, and first queues.

Strict for fourth and third queues, and HRR for second and first queues.

HRR for all queues.

In the HRR scheduling scheme, a weight is assigned to each queue, so that frames egress from the queues according to their assigned weight, to avoid "starvation" of lower priority queues. In addition, frames will egress in a "mixed" manner, to avoid "bursts" of frames from the same queue.

Each queue weight can be configured, and the weight will be used by the scheduler when the specific queue is part of the HRR scheduling scheme.

The queue weight is a value between 1 and 32, and is configured via the Queue Weights table. The default queue weights are 8,4,2,1.

Shaper - Determines the scheduler rate (egress rate limit). Select ON or OFF. The default is OFF.

Shaper Rate - The following rate steps are available:

For 64 Kbps <= Rate <= 960 Kbps, in steps of 64 Kbps.

For 1000 Kbps <= Rate <= 100,000 Kbps, in steps of 1000 Kbps.

For 100,000 Kbps < Rate <= 1,000,000 Kbps, in steps of 10,000 Kbps.

Policer - Port Ingress Rate Limit. Up to five policers per port can be configured, as follows:

The system supports a color blind leaky bucket scheme.

Each policer has the following parameters:

CIR - Committed Information Rate. Rate limiting resolution:

For 64 Kbps <= CIR <= 960 Kbps, in steps of 64 Kbps

For 1000 Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000 Kbps, in steps of 1000 Kbps

For 100,000 Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000 Kbps, in steps of 10,000 Kbps

CBS - Committed Burst Size. CBS is CIR-dependent, and should be configured in bytes:

For 64 Kbps <= CIR <= 960 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 273,404 bytes.

For 1000 Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 132,585 bytes.

For 100,000 Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 4,192,668 bytes.

Data Type - Rate can be limited based on the following data types:

None (no limiting), Unknown unicast, Unknown multicast, Broadcast, Multicast, Unicast, Management, ARP, TCP-Data, TCP-Control, UDP, Non- UDP, Non-TCP-UDP, Queue1, Queue2, Queue3, Queue4.


Limit Exceed Action:

- Discard frame.



Policer List

Click Policer List in the Advanced options area at the bottom of the QoS & Rate Limiting page.

This page enables you to add policy rules to a policer.

Operation - add or delete the policer.

Policer Name - assign a general purpose name for the policer.

It is possible to configure up to five policy rules per policer.

When a policer definition is completed, it can be associated with any port, by attaching its name to the port. This will enforce all policy rules of the policer on the port.

If a policer is attached to a port, you can use the detach command to remove the policer (and all its policy rules) from the port.


Static MAC

Click Static MAC in the Advanced options area at the bottom of the QoS & Rate Limiting page.

This table is used to load static MAC addresses to the forwarding table of the switch.

The static MACs are never flushed.

VLAN ID is the ID of the frame. Each frame is attached with a VLAN ID. Frames are learned and filed in the static MAC table under their VLAN ID.

Static MAC is the 48-bit MAC address, in octet format (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).

Forward to indicates which port the frame will be forwarded to.

Priority sets the classification and/or VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking), according to the QoS configurations (see QoS & Rate Limiting page above).
