Switch Configuration Interfaces • Two interfaces are used to configure Cisco Catalyst switches: – Cisco Catalyst software – Cisco IOS • Cisco Catalyst software was traditionally used to configure Layer 2 parameters on the modular switches: – Cisco Catalyst 4000, 5500, 6500 Series – These switches now support Cisco IOS (native IOS) • Cisco IOS software is standard for most other switches and for Layer 3 configuration on the modular switches. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -23
Cisco Catalyst Software • Cisco Catalyst software is used to configure Layer 2 parameters. • Cisco Catalyst software configuration commands are prefaced with the keyword set. – Console(enable) set port enable 3/5 • Layer 3 configuration is implemented on MSFC with the Cisco IOS interface. • Some platforms can now use the Cisco IOS interface to configure both Layer 2 and Layer 3 (native IOS). © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Summary • The SONA framework guides the evolution of the enterprise network toward IIN. • Cisco enterprise architecture with a hierarchical network model facilitates the deployment of converged networks. • Nonhierarchical network designs do not scale and do not provide the required security necessary in a modern topology. • Layer 2 networks do not provide adequate security or hierarchical networking. • Router-based networks provide greater security and hierarchical networking; however, they can introduce latency issues. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -26
Summary (Cont. ) • Multilayer switches combine both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality to support the modern campus network topology. • Multilayer switches can be used in nonhierarchical networks; however, they will not perform at the optimal level. • The enterprise composite model identifies the key components and logical design for a modern topology. • Implementation of an ECNM provides a secure, robust network with high availability. • The Campus infrastructure, as part of an ECNM, provides additional security and high availability at all levels of the campus. • The two Cisco Catalyst switch interfaces have different features and different font. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Basic Layer 2 Switching and Bridging Functions ©© 2002, 2003, Cisco. Systems, Inc. Allrightsreserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -28 28
Objectives Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to: • Describe Layer 2 switching and bridging operations and modes • Describe how LAN switches use and populate the MAC address table © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -29
Bridges Bridge Categories • Local Bridge – An internetworking device designed to interconnect two bridges within close proximity of one another – Also support network separation • To reduce network utilization by splitting a LAN into more than one independent LAN • Remote Bridge – Converts LAN traffic into a wide area protocol thus allowing a LAN to be connected to a WAN © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -30
Types of Bridges Transparent Bridge • Remote bridge with identical data link protocol • Can support different physical media Translating Bridge • Connection with different data link protocol – Frame conversion • For example, Ethernet to Token ring or Token ring to Ethernet • May require assembly and reassembly – Transmission rate conversion © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -31
Bridging and Switching Bridges forward traffic based on MAC level address A bridge may perform protocol conversion or speed matching between different LAN types Bridges provides buffering of packets A switch is a bridge with all ports use the same frame type; also called a LAN switch to distinguish from an ATM or telecommunications switch © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -32
Why Bridging and Switching? • Decrease traffic on LAN segments • Extend LAN without increasing congestion • Bridge different network protocols • Speed matching • Security • Reliability: fault isolation and bandwidth balancing © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -33
Traffic and LAN Size A: total traffic 6 Mbps B: total traffic 5 Mbps Joining LAN segments with a hub or repeater increases traffic. All machines share the same media (same collision domain. ( A+B: total traffic 11 Mbps repeater © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -34
Switched LAN Segments A sw/ B: traffic 7 Mbps switch B sw/ A: traffic 6 Mbps • A switch only forwards packets when necessary. • learns network addresses of machines connected to each port • doesn’t forward traffic between machines on same port • provides packet buffering and retiming, reducing collisions • does forward all broadcast traffic • may forward multicast traffic, depending on switch © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -35
LAN Extension wireless bridge up to 40 km switch Fast Ethernet 300 m • a switch can extend length limit of network, since it provides packet retiming and retransmission • bridge: different media and protocol to extend length limit • switches are not subject to repeater count limit on ethernet © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -36
Bridging Different Protocols Ethernet bridge Token Ring • a bridge can convert frame formats • requires compatible network addresses, e. g. ethernet & token ring are OK, but not ethernet and ATM • frame conversion may lose some information about the frame © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -37

MAC Address Table • Initial MAC address table is empty. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -43
Learning Addresses • Station A sends a frame to station C. • Switch caches the MAC address of station A to port E 0 by learning the source address of data frames. • The frame from station A to station C is flooded out to all ports except port E 0 (unknown unicasts are flooded). © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -44
Learning Addresses (Cont. ) • Station D sends a frame to station C. • Switch caches the MAC address of station D to port E 3 by learning the source address of data frames. • The frame from station D to station C is flooded out to all ports except port E 3 (unknown unicasts are flooded). © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -45
Filtering Frames • Station A sends a frame to station C. • Destination is known; frame is not flooded. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -46
Filtering Frames (Cont. ) • Station A sends a frame to station B. • The switch has the address for station B in the MAC address table. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -47
Broadcast and Multicast Frames • Station D sends a broadcast or multicast frame. • Broadcast and multicast frames are flooded to all ports other than the originating port. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v 2. 0— 2 -48
Summary • Ethernet switches and bridges increase the available bandwidth of a network by creating dedicated network segments and interconnecting the segments. • Switches and bridges use one of three operating modes to transmit frames: store and forward, cut-through, and fragment-free. • Switches and bridges maintain a MAC address table to store address-to-port mappings so it can determine the locations of connected devices. • When a frame arrives with a known destination address, it is forwarded only on the specific port connected to the destination station. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Summary • A VLAN is a logical grouping of switch ports connecting nodes of virtually any type with no regard to physical location. • An end-to-end VLAN spans the entire switched network, while a local VLAN is restricted to a single switch. • Static VLANs involve switch ports that you manually assign to a particular VLAN. You can configure VLANs using Cisco IOS commands in VLAN configuration mode. • Once a VLAN has been defined, you can assign switch ports to it. • You use show commands to confirm that a VLAN and its associated ports have been configured correctly. • To troubleshoot VLANs, you should check the physical connections, switch configuration, and VLAN configuration. © 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
