Additional Documentation The following documents for the PowerConnect 7000 Series switches are available at support.dell.com/manuals: Getting Started Guide— provides information about the switch models in • the series, including front and back panel features. It also describes the installation and initial configuration procedures.
Page 51: Switch Features
Switch Features This section describes the switch user-configurable software features. NOTE: Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product. The release notes are part of the firmware download. The topics covered in this section include: • System Management • Spanning Tree Protocol Features &...
Page 52: System Management Features
Multiple Management Options You can use any of the following methods to manage the switch: • Use a Web browser to access the Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator interface. The switch contains an embedded Web server that serves HTML pages. •...
Page 53: Integrated Dhcp Server
Integrated DHCP Server PowerConnect 7000 Series switches include an integrated DHCP server that can deliver host-specific configuration information to hosts on the network. The switch DHCP server allows you to configure IP address pools (scopes), and when a host’s DHCP client requests an address, the switch DHCP server automatically assigns the host an address from the pool.
Page 54: File Management
File Management You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system images by using HTTP (web only), TFTP , Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good way to back up the switch configuration.
Page 55: Sflow
sFlow sFlow is the standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed networks. sFlow technology is built into network equipment and gives complete visibility into network activity, enabling effective management and control of network resources. The PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support sFlow version 5. For information about configuring managing sFlow settings, see "Monitoring Switch Traffic"...
Page 56: Stacking Features
Stacking Features For information about creating and maintaining a stack of switches, see "Managing a Switch Stack" on page 135. High Port Count You can stack PowerConnect 7000 Series switches up to 12 switches high, supporting up to 576 front-panel ports, if all units in the stack are 48-port models.
Page 57: Master Failover With Transparent Transition
Master Failover with Transparent Transition Standby The stacking feature supports a or backup unit that assumes the Master unit role if the Master unit in the stack fails. As soon as a Master failure is detected in the stack, the Standby unit initializes the control plane and enables all other stack units with the current configuration.
Page 58: Password-Protected Management Access
Password-Protected Management Access Access to the Web, CLI, and SNMP management interfaces is password protected, and there are no default users on the system. For information about configuring local user accounts, see "Controlling Management Access" on page 169. Strong Password Enforcement The Strong Password feature enforces a baseline password strength for all locally administered users.
Page 59: Ssh/Ssl
SSH/SSL The switch supports Secure Shell (SSH) for secure, remote connections to the CLI and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to increase security when accessing the Web-based management interface. For information about configuring SSH and SSL settings, see "Controlling Management Access" on page 169. Inbound Telnet Control You can configure the switch to prevent new Telnet sessions from being established with the switch.
Page 60: Dot1X Authentication (Ieee 802.1X)
Dot1x Authentication (IEEE 802.1X) Dot1x authentication enables the authentication of system users through a local internal server or an external server. Only authenticated and approved system users can transmit and receive data. Supplicants are authenticated using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Also supported are PEAP , EAP-TTL, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-TLS.
Page 61: Access Control Lists (Acl)
Access Control Lists (ACL) Access Control Lists (ACLs) ensure that only authorized users have access to specific resources while blocking off any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. ACLs are used to provide traffic flow control, restrict contents of routing updates, decide which types of traffic are forwarded or blocked, and above all provide security for the network.
Page 62: Dhcp Snooping
DHCP Snooping DHCP Snooping is a security feature that monitors DHCP messages between a DHCP client and DHCP server. It filters harmful DHCP messages and builds a bindings database of (MAC address, IP address, VLAN ID, port) tuples that are specified as authorized. DHCP snooping can be enabled globally and on specific VLANs.
Page 63: Green Technology Features
Green Technology Features For information about configuring Green Technology features, see "Configuring Port Characteristics" on page 483. Energy Detect Mode When the Energy Detect mode is enabled and the port link is down, the PHY automatically goes down for short period of time and then wakes up to check link pulses.
Page 64: Poe Plus Support
PoE Plus Support The PowerConnect 7024P and 7048P switches implement the PoE Plus specification (IEEE 802.3AT). This allows power to be supplied to Class 4 PD devices that require power greater than 15.4 Watts. Each port is capable of delivering up to 30W of power. Real-time power supply status is also available on the switch as part of the PoE Plus implementation.
Page 65: Vlan-Aware Mac-Based Switching
VLAN-Aware MAC-based Switching Packets arriving from an unknown source address are sent to the CPU and added to the Hardware Table. Future packets addressed to or from this address are more efficiently forwarded. Back Pressure Support On half-duplex links, a receiver may prevent buffer overflows by occupying the link so that it is unavailable for additional traffic.
Page 66: Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from up to four source ports to a monitoring port. The switch also supports flow-based mirroring, which allows you to copy certain types of traffic to a single destination port. This provides flexibility— instead of mirroring all ingress or egress traffic on a port the switch can mirror a subset of that traffic.
Page 67: Connectivity Fault Management (Ieee 802.1Ag)
Connectivity Fault Management (IEEE 802.1ag) The Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) feature, also known as Dot1ag, supports Service Level Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM). CFM is the OAM Protocol provision for end-to-end service layer instance in carrier networks. The CFM feature provides mechanisms to help you perform connectivity checks, fault detection, fault verification and isolation, and fault notification per service in a network domain.
Page 68: Virtual Local Area Network Supported Features
Virtual Local Area Network Supported Features For information about configuring VLAN features see "Configuring VLANs" on page 571. VLAN Support VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the VLAN tag or a combination of the ingress port and packet contents.
Page 69: Garp And Gvrp Support
GARP and GVRP Support The switch supports the configuration of Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) timers GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) relies on the services provided by GARP to provide IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation on 802.1Q trunk ports. When GVRP is enabled, the switch registers and propagates VLAN membership on all ports that are part of the active spanning tree protocol topology.
Page 70: Spanning Tree Protocol Features
Spanning Tree Protocol Features For information about configuring Spanning Tree Protocol features, see "Configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol" on page 629. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D) is a standard requirement of Layer 2 switches that allows bridges to automatically prevent and resolve L2 forwarding loops.
Page 71: Bridge Protocol Data Unit (Bpdu) Guard
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard Spanning Tree BPDU Guard is used to disable the port in case a new device tries to enter the already existing topology of STP. Thus devices, which were originally not a part of STP, are not allowed to influence the STP topology. BPDU Filtering When spanning tree is disabled on a port, the BPDU Filtering feature allows BPDU packets received on that port to be dropped.
Page 72: Routing Features
Routing Features Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Table Management You can create static ARP entries and manage many settings for the dynamic ARP table, such as age time for entries, retries, and cache size. For information about managing the ARP table, see "Configuring IP Routing" on page 883.
Page 73: Bootp/Dhcp Relay Agent
BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent The switch BootP/DHCP Relay Agent feature relays BootP and DHCP messages between DHCP clients and DHCP servers that are located in different IP subnets. For information about configuring the BootP/DHCP Relay agent, see "Configuring L2 and L3 Relay Features" on page 907. IP Helper and UDP Relay The IP Helper and UDP Relay features provide the ability to relay various protocols to servers on a different subnet.
Page 74: Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (Vrrp)
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) VRRP provides hosts with redundant routers in the network topology without any need for the hosts to reconfigure or know that there are multiple routers. If the primary (master) router fails, a secondary router assumes control and continues to use the virtual router IP (VRIP) address.
Page 75: Ipv6 Routes
IPv6 Routes Because IPv4 and IPv6 can coexist on a network, the router on such a network needs to forward both traffic types. Given this coexistence, each switch maintains a separate routing table for IPv6 routes. The switch can forward IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the same set of interfaces.
Page 76: Quality Of Service (Qos) Features
Quality of Service (QoS) Features NOTE: Some features that can affect QoS, such as ACLs and Voice VLAN, are described in other sections within this chapter. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) The QoS Differentiated Services (DiffServ) feature allows traffic to be classified into streams and given certain QoS treatment in accordance with defined per-hop behaviors.
Page 77: Internet Small Computer System Interface (Iscsi) Optimization
Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Optimization The iSCSI Optimization feature helps give traffic between iSCSI initiator and target systems special QoS treatment in the switch. This is accomplished by monitoring, or snooping traffic to detect packets used by iSCSI stations in establishing iSCSI sessions and connections.
Page 78: Igmp Snooping Querier
IGMP Snooping Querier When Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and IGMP are enabled in a network with IP multicast routing, the IP multicast router acts as the IGMP querier. However, if the IP-multicast traffic in a VLAN needs to be Layer 2 switched only, an IP-multicast router is not required.
Page 79: Internet Group Management Protocol
Internet Group Management Protocol The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used by IPv4 systems (hosts and routers) to report their IP multicast group memberships to any neighboring multicast routers. PowerConnect 7000 Series switches perform the “multicast router part” of the IGMP protocol, which means it collects the membership information needed by the active multicast router.
Page 80: Mld/Mldv2 (Rfc2710/Rfc3810)
MLD/MLDv2 (RFC2710/RFC3810) MLD is used by IPv6 systems (listeners and routers) to report their IP multicast addresses memberships to any neighboring multicast routers. The implementation of MLD v2 is backward compatible with MLD v1. MLD protocol enables the IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners, the nodes that want to receive the multicast data packets, on its directly attached interfaces.

Managing a Switch Stack This chapter describes how to configure and manage a stack of switches. The topics covered in this chapter include: • Stacking Overview • Default Stacking Values • Managing and Monitoring the Stack (Web) • Managing the Stack (CLI) •...
Page 136 The running configuration and application state is synchronized between the Master and Standby during the normal stacking operation. In a stack of three or more switches, Dell strongly recommends connecting the stack in a ring topology so that each switch is connected to two other switches.
Page 137: Powerconnect 7000 Series And M6348 Stacking Compatibility
PowerConnect 7000 Series and M6348 Stacking Compatibility The stack can contain any combination of switch models in the PowerConnect 7000 Series as well as the PowerConnect M6348 switch, as long as all switches are running the same firmware version. For example, a single stack of six switches might include the following members: •...
Page 138: Adding A Switch To The Stack
• If the Management Unit function is disabled, the unit remains a non- Management Unit. If the entire stack is powered OFF and ON again, the unit that was the Management Unit before the reboot will remain the Management Unit after the stack resumes operation.
Page 139: Removing A Switch From The Stack
might trigger many other protocols. However, it is possible to intentionally pre-configure a unit. You can view the preconfigured/unassigned units by using the show switch CLI command. If a new switch is added to a stack of switches that are powered and running and already have an elected Management Unit, the newly added switch becomes a stack member rather than the Management Unit.
Page 140: How Is The Firmware Updated On The Stack
How is the Firmware Updated on the Stack? When you add a new switch to a stack, the Stack Firmware Synchronization feature automatically synchronizes the firmware version with the version running on the stack master. The synchronization operation may result in either upgrade or downgrade of firmware on the mismatched stack member.
Page 141 Management Unit acts as the control plane. The management plane is application software running on the Management Unit that provides interfaces allowing a network administrator to configure the device. The Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) feature allows the forwarding plane of stack units to continue to forward packets while the control and management planes restart as a result of a power failure, hardware failure, or software fault on the stack Management Unit.
Page 142 Checkpointing Switch applications (features) that build up a list of data such as neighbors or clients can significantly improve their restart behavior by remembering this data across a warm restart. This data can either be stored persistently, as DHCP server and DHCP snooping store their bindings database, or the Management Unit can checkpoint this data directly to the standby unit.

Page 144: Nsf Network Design Considerations
If you move the master unit of stack to a different place in the network, make sure you power down the whole stack before you redeploy the master unit so that the stack members do not continue to use the MAC address of the redeployed switch.
Page 145: Default Stacking Values
Default Stacking Values Stacking is always enabled on PowerConnect 7000 Series switches. NSF is enabled by default. You can disable NSF in order to redirect the CPU resources consumed by data checkpointing. Checkpointing only occurs when a backup unit is elected, so there is no need to disable the NSF feature on a standalone switch.

Page 162: Nsf In The Data Center
NSF in the Data Center Figure 8-12 illustrates a data center scenario, where the stack of two PowerConnect switches acts as an access switch. The access switch is connected to two aggregation switches, AS1 and AS2. The stack has a link from two different units to each aggregation switch, with each pair of links grouped together in a LAG.
Page 163: Nsf And Voip
NSF and VoIP Figure 8-13 shows how NSF maintains existing voice calls during a Management Unit failure. Assume the top unit is the Management Unit. When the Management Unit fails, the call from phone A is immediately disconnected. The call from phone B continues. On the uplink, the forwarding plane removes the failed LAG member and continues using the remaining LAG member.
Page 164: Nsf And Dhcp Snooping
NSF and DHCP Snooping Figure 8-14 illustrates an L2 access switch running DHCP snooping. DHCP trusted snooping only accepts DHCP server messages on ports configured as ports. DHCP snooping listens to DHCP messages to build a bindings database that lists the IP address the DHCP server has assigned to each host. IP Source Guard (IPSG) uses the bindings database to filter data traffic in hardware based on source IP address and source MAC address.
Page 165: Nsf And The Storage Access Network
If a host is in the middle of an exchange with the DHCP server when the failover occurs, the exchange is interrupted while the control plane restarts. When DHCP snooping is enabled, the hardware traps all DHCP packets to the CPU. The control plane drops these packets during the restart. The DHCP client and server retransmit their DHCP messages until the control plane has resumed operation and messages get through.
Page 166 Figure 8-15. NSF and a Storage Area Network Disc Array (iSCSI Targets) Servers (iSCSI Initiators) 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.3 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.10 10.1.1.11 When the Management Unit fails, session A drops. The initiator at 10.1.1.10 detects a link down on its primary NIC and attempts to reestablish the session on its backup NIC to a different IP address on the disk array.
Page 167: Nsf And Routed Access
NSF and Routed Access Figure 8-16 shows a stack of three units serving as an access router for a set of hosts. Two LAGs connect the stack to two aggregation routers. Each LAG is a member of a VLAN routing interface. The stack has OSPF and PIM adjacencies with each of the aggregation routers.
Page 168 JOIN messages upstream. The control plane updates the driver with checkpointed unicast routes. The forwarding plane reconciles L3 hardware tables. The OSPF graceful restart finishes, and the control plane deletes any stale unicast routes not relearned at this point. The forwarding plane reconciles L3 multicast hardware tables.
Page 169: Controlling Management Access
Controlling Management Access This chapter describes how to control access to the switch management interface through switch-based authentication or by using TACACS+ or RADIUS servers. It also includes information about controlling access through Telnet, SSH, HTTP, and HTTPs. The Denial of Service (DoS) protection feature is also described in this chapter.
Page 170 Table 9-1. Management Security Features Management Security Description Feature Management Access Contains rules to apply to one or more in-band ports, LAGs, Control List (ACL) or VLANs to limit management access by method (for example, Telnet or HTTP) and/or source IP address. NOTE: Management ACLs cannot be applied to the OOB port.
Page 171: What Are The Recommendations For Management Security
What Are the Recommendations for Management Security? Selecting the authentication policy for a network is very important. In large deployments, many administrators prefer to use a RADIUS or TACACS+ server because it allows the authentication policy to be applied system wide with little administrative effort.
Page 172: How Does Tacacs+ Control Management Access
• Console—Authenticates access through the console port (CLI only). • Telnet—Authenticates users accessing the CLI by using a Telnet or SSH client. • Secure HTTP—Authenticates users accessing OpenManage Switch Administrator by using an HTTPS connection. • HTTP—Authenticates users accessing OpenManage Switch Administrator by using an HTTP connection.
Page 173 Figure 9-1. Basic TACACS+ Topology Backup TACACS+ Server PowerConnect Switch Primary TACACS+ Server Management Network Management Host You can configure the TACACS+ server list with one or more hosts defined via their network IP address. You can also assign each a priority to determine the order in which the TACACS+ client will contact them.
Page 174: How Does Radius Control Management Access
How Does RADIUS Control Management Access? Many networks use a RADIUS server to maintain a centralized user database that contains per-user authentication information. RADIUS servers provide a centralized authentication method for: • Telnet Access • Web Access • Console to Switch Access •...
Page 175 Figure 9-2. RADIUS Topology Backup RADIUS Server PowerConnect Switch Primary RADIUS Server Management Network Management Host The server can authenticate the user itself or make use of a back-end device to ascertain authenticity. In either case a response may or may not be forthcoming to the client.
Page 176: What Are Radius Server Groups
enable Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == "pass5678" Service-Type = Administrative-User The values for the Service-Type attribute are as follows: • NAS-Prompt-User indicates the user should be provided a command prompt on the switch, which is acting as the Network Access Server (NAS), from which nonprivileged commands can be executed.
Page 177 When multiple RADIUS servers are configured with different names, the servers are in different groups. The primary/secondary designation and priority applies to RADIUS servers only within the same group. Within a named group, the switch always attempts to contact the primary RADIUS server first.
Page 178: What Other Features Use Authentication
What Other Features Use Authentication? In addition to controlling access to the management interface, the switch can use RADIUS, IAS, or the local user database to provide port-based access control. Port-based access control specifies whether devices that are connected to the switch ports are allowed access to the network. The IEEE 802.1X feature (also known as Dot1X) and Captive Portal feature use RADIUS or the local user database to control network access.
Page 179 Table 9-2. Management Security Default Values (Continued) Management Security Default Feature Authentication The following three Authentication Profiles are configured Profiles by default: • defaultList—Method is NONE, which means no authentication is required. • networkList—Method is LOCAL, which means the user credentials are verified against the information in the local user database.

The commands in this example configure primary and secondary RADIUS servers that the switch will use to authenticate access. The RADIUS servers belong to the same named server group (Dell-RADIUS) and use the same RADIUS secret (test1234). A third RADIUS server is configured as an accounting server, and RADIUS accounting is globally enabled.
Page 229 2 Configure the secondary RADIUS server. console(config)#radius-server host auth 10.27.65.104 console(Config-auth-radius)#name Dell-RADIUS console(Config-auth-radius)#key test1234 console(Config-auth-radius)#exit 3 Configure the RADIUS accounting server. console(config)#radius-server host acct 10.27.65.114 console(Config-acct-radius)#key test1234 console(Config-acct-radius)#name Dell-RADIUS- Accounting console(Config-acct-radius)#exit 4 Activate RADIUS accounting. console(config)#aaa accounting network default start-stop group radius console(config)#exit 5 View the configured RADIUS servers.
Page 230: Configuring An Authentication Profile
Configuring an Authentication Profile The commands in this example create a new authenticating profile that uses the RADIUS server configured in the previous example to authenticate users who attempt to access the switch management interface by using SSH or Telnet. If the RADIUS authentication is unsuccessful, the switch uses the local user database to attempt to authenticate the users.

Page 232 The password lockout feature disables local access to the switch for a given user name if the user fails to supply the correct password within the configured number of attempts. Failed attempts to log on do not need to close together in time; consecutive login failures separated by extensive time periods can still cause a user to be locked out.
Page 233 4 View information about the authentication profiles. By default, Console (serial) access uses the defaultList authentication. The defaultList does not require authentication, but the networkList requires authentication by verifying the user name and password against an entry in the local database.

Page 236: Why Is System Information Needed
Why Is System Information Needed? The information the switch provides can help you troubleshoot issues that might be affecting system performance. The cable diagnostics test help you troubleshoot problems with the physical connections to the switch. Auditing access to the switch and the activities an administrator performed while managing the switch can help provide security and accountability.
Page 237: What Are The Severity Levels
What Are the Severity Levels? For each local or remote log file, you can specify the severity of the messages to log. Each severity level is identified by a name and a number. Table 10-1 provides information about the severity levels. Table 10-1.
Page 238: What Is The Log Message Format
The first part of the log message up to the first left bracket is fixed by the Syslog standard (RFC 3164). The second part up to the two percent signs is standardized for all Dell PowerConnect logs. The variable text of the log message follows. The log message is limited to 96 bytes.
Page 239: What Factors Should Be Considered When Configuring Logging
Message — Contains the text of the log message. What Factors Should Be Considered When Configuring Logging? Dell recommends that network administrators deploy a syslog server in their network and configure all switches to log messages to the syslog server.

Page 271: Managing General System Settings
Managing General System Settings This chapter describes how to set system information, such as the hostname, and time settings, and how to select the Switch Database Management (SDM) template to use on the switch. This chapter also describes how to configure the back-panel expansion slots with card information as well as how to configure the Power over Ethernet (PoE) settings for the PowerConnect 7024P and 7048P switches.
Page 272: Why Does System Information Need To Be Configured
Table 11-1. System Information Feature Description SDM Template Determines the maximum resources a switch or router can use for various features. For more information, see "What Are SDM Templates?" on page 273 The switch can obtain the time from a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server, or you can set the time manually.
Page 273: What Are Sdm Templates
Telnet sessions open with several different switches, the system name can help you quickly identify the switch because the host name replaces console as the CLI command prompt. The Banner can provide information about the switch status. For example, if multiple users connect to the switch, the message of the day (MOTD) banner might alert everyone who connects to the switch about a scheduled switch image upgrade.
Page 274: Why Is The System Time Needed
SDM Template Configuration Guidelines When you configure the switch to use an SDM template that is not currently in use, you must reload the switch for the configuration to take effect. NOTE: If you attach a unit to a stack and its template does not match the stack's template, then the new unit will automatically reboot using the template used by the management unit.
Page 275: What Configuration Is Required For Plug-In Modules
To increase security, you can require authentication between the configured SNTP server and the SNTP client on the switch. Authentication is provided by Message Digest 5 (MD5). MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication and authenticates the origin of the communication. What Configuration Is Required for Plug-In Modules? The switch supports several different plug-in modules (also known as cards) for the expansion slots located on the back of the switch.

The *.setup file can include the following information: • MAC address of the switch • Configuration file name • Image file name • IP address MAC Address Lookup The MAC address should be on the same line as the configuration file and/or image file name to allow a specific switch (identified by its MAC address) to be associated with a specific config file or image.
Page 378: What Is The Setup File Format
configured is added to the beginning of the line (if no MAC address was specified in the file) for lines using the IP address lookup method so that the MAC and IP address combinations are recorded within the *.setup file for future use bindings.
Page 379: What Is The Dhcp Auto Configuration Process
If the switches are to be assigned a static IP address included in a specified configuration file (.text) or by a DHCP server, the entries in the *.setup file that assigns a specific configuration file and image to each switch has the following format: MAC_Address Config_File...
Page 380 Option 125 and specify the Dell Enterprise Number, 674. Within the Dell section of option 125, sub option 5 must specify the path and name of a file on the TFTP server. This file is not the image file itself, but rather a text file that contains the path and name of the image file.
Page 381 If the DHCP server does not specify a configuration file or download of the configuration file fails, the Auto Configuration process attempts to download a configuration file with the name dell-net.cfg. The switch unicasts or broadcasts TFTP requests for a network configuration file in the same manner as it attempts to download a host-specific configuration file.
Page 382 If the default network configuration file does not contain the switch's IP address, the switch attempts a reverse DNS lookup to resolve its hostname. A sample dell-net.cfg file follows: config ip host switch1 192.168.1.10 ip host switch2 192.168.1.11...

Page 384: What Are The Dependencies For Dhcp Auto Configuration
Stopping and Restarting the Auto Configuration Process You can terminate the Auto Configuration process at any time before the image or configuration file is downloaded. This is useful when the switch is disconnected from the network. Termination of the Auto Configuration process ends further periodic requests for a host-specific file.
Page 385: Default Auto Configuration Values
• A DNS server must contain an IP address to hostname mapping for the switch if a <hostname>.cfg file is to be downloaded. • If a default gateway is needed to forward TFTP requests, an IP helper address for TFTP needs to be configured on the default gateway. Default Auto Configuration Values Table 14-3 describes the Auto Configuration defaults.

Page 432: When Should Iscsi Optimization Be Enabled
When Should iSCSI Optimization Be Enabled? Use this feature in networks containing iSCSI initiators and targets where you want to protect this traffic from interruption by giving it preferential QoS treatment. The dynamically-generated classifier rules are used to direct the iSCSI data traffic to queues that can be given the desired preference characteristics over other data traveling through the switch.
Page 433: What Information Does The Switch Track In Iscsi Traffic Flows
The PowerConnect 7000 Series switch uses LLDP , a vendor-neutral protocol, to discover Dell EqualLogic devices on the network. LLDP is enabled by default. For more information about LLDP , see "Discovering Network Devices"...
Page 434: What Occurs When Iscsi Is Enabled Or Disabled
If the iSCSI feature is disabled on the switch, iSCSI resources are released and the detection of Dell EqualLogic arrays by using LLDP is disabled. Disabling iSCSI does not remove the MTU, flow control, portfast or storm control configuration applied as a result of enabling iSCSI.

Page 505: Configuring 802.1X And Port-Based
Configuring 802.1X and Port-Based Security This chapter describes how to configure port-based security features including IEEE 802.1X authentication and port security. Port-based security can also be accomplished by using Access Control Lists (ACLs). For information about configuring ACLs, see "Configuring Access Control Lists" on page 539.
Page 506: What Is Ieee 802.1X
What is IEEE 802.1X? The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a means of preventing unauthorized access by supplicants (clients) to the services the switch offers, such as access to the LAN. The 802.1X network has three components: • Supplicant — The client connected to the authenticated port that requests access to the network.
Page 507: What Are The 802.1X Port States
What are the 802.1X Port States? The 802.1X port state determines whether to allow or prevent network traffic on the port. The 802.1X state of a port can be one of the following: • Authorized • Unauthorized • Automode • MAC-Based If the port is in the authorized state, the port sends and receives normal traffic without client port-based authentication.
Page 508 If a port uses MAC-based 802.1X authentication, the option to use MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is available. MAB is a supplemental authentication mechanism that allows 802.1X unaware clients, such as printers and fax machines, to authenticate to the network using the client MAC address as an identifier.
Page 509: What Is The Role Of 802.1X In Vlan Assignment
What is the Role of 802.1X in VLAN Assignment? PowerConnect 7000 Series switches allow a port to be placed into a particular VLAN based on the result of the authentication or type of 802.1X authentication a client uses when it accesses the switch. The authentication server can provide information to the switch about which VLAN to assign the supplicant.
Page 510 Dynamic VLAN Creation If RADIUS-assigned VLANs are enabled thought the Authorization Network RADIUS configuration option, the RADIUS server is expected to include the VLAN ID in the 802.1X tunnel attributes of its response message to the switch. If dynamic VLAN creation is enabled on the switch and the RADIUS- assigned VLAN does not exist, then the assigned VLAN is dynamically created.
Page 511: What Is Monitor Mode
port. The port is assigned a Guest VLAN ID and is moved to the authorized status. Disabling the supplicant mode does not clear the ports that are already authorized and assigned Guest VLAN IDs. What is Monitor Mode? The monitor mode is a special mode that can be enabled in conjunction with 802.1X authentication.

Page 513: What Is The Internal Authentication Server
What is the Internal Authentication Server? The Internal Authentication Server (IAS) is a dedicated database for local authentication of users for network access through 802.1X. In this database, the switch maintains a list of username and password combinations to use for 802.1X authentication.

Page 535: Mode
Configuring MAC-Based Authentication Mode The PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support MAC-based 802.1X authentication. This feature allows multiple hosts to authenticate on a single port. The hosts are distinguished by their MAC addresses. When multiple hosts (for example, a PC, a printer, and a phone in the same office) are connected to the switch on the same port, each of the connected hosts authenticates separately with the RADIUS server.

Page 539: Configuring Access Control Lists
Configuring Access Control Lists This chapter describes how to configure Access Control Lists (ACLs), including IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs. This chapter also describes how to configure time ranges that can be applied to any of the ACL types. The topics covered in this chapter include: •...
Page 540: What Are Mac Acls
NOTE: Every ACL is terminated by an implicit deny all rule, which covers any packet not matching a preceding explicit rule. You can set up ACLs to control traffic at Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4. MAC ACLs operate on Layer 2. IP ACLs operate on Layers 3 and 4. PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs.
Page 541: What Are Ip Acls
What Are IP ACLs? IP ACLs classify for Layers 3 and 4 on IPv4 or IPv6 traffic. Each ACL is a set of up to ten rules applied to inbound traffic. Each rule specifies whether the contents of a given field should be used to permit or deny access to the network, and may apply to one or more of the following fields within a packet: •...
Page 542: What Is Acl Logging
Using ACLs to mirror traffic is considered to be flow-based mirroring since the traffic flow is defined by the ACL classification rules. This is in contrast to port mirroring, where all traffic encountered on a specific interface is replicated on another interface. What Is ACL Logging ACL Logging provides a means for counting the number of “hits”...
Page 543: What Are The Acl Limitations
A named time range can contain up to 10 configured time ranges. Only one absolute time range can be configured per time range. During the ACL configuration, you can associate a configured time range with the ACL to provide additional control over permitting or denying a user access to network resources.
Page 544: How Are Acls Configured
NOTE: Although the maximum number of ACLs is 100, and the maximum number of rules per ACL is 127, the system cannot support 100 ACLs that each have 127 rules. The maximum number of ACLs and rules supported depends on the resources consumed by other processes and configured features running on the switch.

Page 572 priority over other traffic, such as data. Administrators also use VLANs to protect network resources. Traffic sent by authenticated clients might be assigned to one VLAN, while traffic sent from unauthenticated clients might be assigned to a different VLAN that allows limited network access. When one host in a VLAN sends a broadcast, the switch forwards traffic only to other members of that VLAN.
Page 573 Figure 21-1. Simple VLAN Topology Router Engineering VLAN 100 Switch Payroll VLAN 300 Tech Pubs VLAN 200 In this example, each port is manually configured so that the end station attached to the port is a member of the VLAN configured for the port. The VLAN membership for this network is port-based or static.
Page 574: Switchport Modes
Table 21-1 provides an overview of the types of VLANs you can use to logically divide the network. Table 21-1. VLAN Assignment VLAN Assignment Description Port-based (Static) This is the most common way to assign hosts to VLANs. The port where the traffic enters the switch determines the VLAN membership.

Page 576: Gvrp
Configuring the PVID for an interface is useful when untagged and tagged packets will be sent and received on that port and a device connected to the interface does not support VLAN tagging. GVRP The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) helps to dynamically manage VLAN memberships on trunk ports.
Page 577: Voice Vlan
802.1Q (0x8100) EtherType, it allows the traffic to have added security from misconfiguration while exiting the metro core. For example, if the edge device on the other side of the metro core is not stripping the second tag, the packet would never be classified as a 802.1Q tag, so the packet would be dropped rather than forwarded in the incorrect VLAN.
Page 578 The Voice VLAN feature can be enabled on a per-port basis. This feature supports a configurable voice VLAN DSCP value. This value is later retrieved by LLDP when the LLDPDU is transmitted, if LLDP has been enabled on the port and the required TLV is configured for the port. Identifying Voice Traffic Some VoIP phones contain full support for IEEE 802.1X.
Page 579: Additional Vlan Features
• When a VLAN is associated with the Voice VLAN port, then the VLAN ID information is passed onto the VoIP phone using the LLDP-MED mechanism. By this method, the voice data coming from the VoIP phone is tagged with the exchanged VLAN ID. Untagged data arriving on the switch is given the default PVID of the port, and the voice traffic is received tagged with the pre-defined VLAN.
Page 580: Default Vlan Behavior
Default VLAN Behavior One VLAN exists on the PowerConnect 7000 Series switches by default. The VLAN ID is 1, and all ports are included in the VLAN as access ports, which are untagged. This means when a device connects to any port on the switch, the port forwards the packets without inserting a VLAN tag.

recognize full-duplex connectivity and ports which are connected to end stations, resulting in rapid transitioning of the port to the Forwarding state and the suppression of Topology Change Notifications. MSTP is compatible to both RSTP and STP . It behaves appropriately to STP and RSTP bridges.
Page 631: How Does Mstp Operate In The Network
How Does MSTP Operate in the Network? In the following diagram of a small 802.1d bridged network, STP is necessary to create an environment with full connectivity and without loops. Figure 22-1. Small Bridged Network Switch A Port 1 Port 2 VLAN 10 VLAN 20 Port 1...

Page 634 In order for MSTP to correctly establish the different MSTIs as above, some additional changes are required. For example, the configuration would have to be the same on each and every bridge. That means that Switch B would have to add VLAN 10 to its list of supported VLANs (shown in Figure 22-3 with a *).
Page 635: What Are The Optional Stp Features
What are the Optional STP Features? The PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support the following optional STP features: • BPDU flooding • PortFast • BPDU filtering • Root guard • Loop guard • BPDU protection BPDU Flooding The BPDU flooding feature determines the behavior of the switch when it receives a BPDU on a port that is disabled for spanning tree.
Page 636 Root Guard Enabling root guard on a port ensures that the port does not become a root port or a blocked port. When a switch is elected as the root bridge, all ports are designated ports unless two or more ports of the root bridge are connected together.
Page 637 BPDU Protection When the switch is used as an access layer device, most ports function as edge ports that connect to a device such as a desktop computer or file server. The port has a single, direct connection and is configured as an edge port to implement the fast transition to a forwarding state.

Page 687: Configuring Port-Based Traffic
Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control This chapter describes how to configure features that provide traffic control through filtering the type of traffic or limiting the speed or amount of traffic on a per-port basis. The features this section describes includes flow control, storm control, protected ports and Link Local Protocol Filtering (LLPF), which is also known as Cisco Protocol Filtering.
Page 688: What Is Flow Control
What is Flow Control? IEEE 802.3x flow control allows nodes that transmit at slower speeds to communicate with higher speed switches by requesting that the higher speed switch refrains from sending packets. Transmissions are temporarily halted to prevent buffer overflows. Enabling the flow control feature allows PowerConnect 7000 Series switches to receive pause frames from connected devices.
Page 689: What Are Protected Ports
What are Protected Ports? The switch supports up to three separate groups of protected ports. Traffic can flow between protected ports belonging to different groups, but not within the same group. A port can belong to only one protected port group. You must remove an interface from one group before adding it to another group.
Page 690: Default Port-Based Traffic Control Values
If Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) is enabled on an interface, and the LLPF feature on an interface is enabled and configured to drop ISDP PDUs, the ISDP configuration overrides the LLPF configuration, and the ISDP PDUs are allowed on the interface. Default Port-Based Traffic Control Values Table 24-2 lists the default values for the port-based traffic control features that this chapter describes.

discarded, depending on the switch configuration. If a match is found, then the packet is forwarded only to the ports that are members of that multicast group. You can create multicast bridging groups and specify the ports and LAGs that are members of each group.
Page 705: What Is Igmp Snooping
What Is IGMP Snooping? IGMP Snooping is a layer 2 feature that allows the switch to dynamically add or remove ports from IP multicast groups by listening to IGMP join and leave requests. By "snooping" the IGMP packets transmitted between hosts and routers, the IGMP Snooping feature enables the switch to forward IP multicast traffic more intelligently and help conserve bandwidth.
Page 706: What Is Multicast Vlan Registration
MLD is a protocol used by IPv6 multicast routers to discover the presence of multicast listeners (nodes wishing to receive IPv6 multicast packets) on its directly-attached links and to discover which multicast packets are of interest to neighboring nodes. MLD is derived from IGMP; MLD version 1 (MLDv1) is equivalent to IGMPv2, and MLD version 2 (MLDv2) is equivalent to IGMPv3.
Page 707: When Are L3 Multicast Features Required
• In the compatible mode MVR does not learn multicast groups, but they have to be configured by administrator and protocol does not forward joins from the hosts to the router. To work in this mode the IGMP router has to be configured to transmit required multicast streams to the network with the MVR switch.

Page 761: Configuring Connectivity Fault
Configuring Connectivity Fault Management This chapter describes how to configure the IEEE 802.1ag (also known as IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Dot1ag) protocol. Dot1ag ( Networks Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks Amendment 5: Connectivity Fault Management ) enables the detection and isolation of connectivity faults at the service level for traffic that is bridged over a metropolitan Ethernet LAN.
Page 762: How Does Dot1Ag Work Across A Carrier Network
How Does Dot1ag Work Across a Carrier Network? A typical metropolitan area network comprises operator, service provider, and customer networks. To suit this business model, CFM relies on a functional model of hierarchical maintenance domains (MDs). These domains are assigned a unique MD level. There is a maximum of 8 levels, which can be nested but cannot overlap.
Page 763: What Entities Make Up A Maintenance Domain
never intersect. The operator transparently passes frames from the customer and provider, and the customer does not see the operator frames. Multiple levels within a domain (say, operator) are supported for flexibility. What Entities Make Up a Maintenance Domain? Dot1ag defines three primary entities that make up the maintenance domain: Maintenance End Points (MEPs), Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs), and Maintenance Associations (MAs).
Page 764 Figure 26-2. Maintenance Endpoints and Intermediate Points Maintenance Associations An MA is a logical connection between one or more MEPs that enables monitoring a particular service instance. Each MA is associated with a unique SVLAN ID. An MA is identified by a maintenance association ID. All MEPs in the MA are assigned the maintenance identifier (MAID) for the association.
Page 765: What Is The Administrator's Role
Figure 26-3. Provider View for Service Level OAM What is the Administrator’s Role? On the switch, the administrator configures the customer-level maintenance domains, associations, and endpoints used to participate in Dot1ag services with other switches connected through the provider network. The Administrator can also use utilities to troubleshoot connectivity faults when reported via SNMP traps.
Page 766: Default Dot1Ag Values
Troubleshooting Tasks In the event of a connectivity loss between MEPs, the administrator can perform path discovery, similar to traceroute, from one MEP to any MEP or MIP in a maintenance domain using Link Trace Messages (LTMs). The connectivity loss is narrowed down using path discovery and is verified using Loop-back Messages (LBMs), which are similar to ping operations in IP networks.

The topics covered in this chapter include: •...
Page 782: What Is Dhcp Snooping
What Is DHCP Snooping? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping is a security feature that monitors DHCP messages between a DHCP client and DHCP server to accomplish the following tasks: • Filter harmful DHCP messages • Build a bindings database with entries that consist of the following information: •...
Page 783: How Is The Dhcp Snooping Bindings Database Populated
How Is the DHCP Snooping Bindings Database Populated? The DHCP snooping application uses DHCP messages to build and maintain the binding’s database. DHCP snooping creates a tentative binding from DHCP DISCOVER and REQUEST messages. Tentative bindings tie a client to a port (the port where the DHCP client message was received). Tentative bindings are completed when DHCP snooping learns the client’s IP address from a DHCP ACK message on a trusted port.
Page 784 DHCP Snooping and VLANs DHCP snooping forwards valid DHCP client messages received on non- routing VLANs. The message is forwarded on all trusted interfaces in the VLAN. DHCP snooping can be configured on switching VLANs and routing VLANs. When a DHCP packet is received on a routing VLAN, the DHCP snooping application applies its filtering rules and updates the bindings database.
Page 785: What Is Ip Source Guard
What Is IP Source Guard? IPSG is a security feature that filters IP packets based on source ID. This feature helps protect the network from attacks that use IP address spoofing to compromise or overwhelm the network. The source ID may be either the source IP address or a {source IP address, source MAC address} pair.
Page 786: What Is Dynamic Arp Inspection
What is Dynamic ARP Inspection? Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) is a security feature that rejects invalid and malicious ARP packets. DAI prevents a class of man-in-the-middle attacks where an unfriendly station intercepts traffic for other stations by poisoning the ARP caches of its unsuspecting neighbors. The malicious attacker sends ARP requests or responses mapping another station’s IP address to its own MAC address.
Page 787: Why Is Traffic Snooping And Inspection Necessary
Why Is Traffic Snooping and Inspection Necessary? DHCP Snooping, IPSG, and DAI are security features that can help protect the switch and the network against various types of accidental or malicious attacks. It might be a good idea to enable these features on ports that provide network access to hosts that are in physically unsecured locations or if network users connect nonstandard hosts to the network.

Page 820: Why Are Link Aggregation Groups Necessary
Figure 28-1. LAG Configuration Wiring Closet Switch Data Center Switch LAGs can be configured on stand-alone or stacked switches. In a stack of switches, the LAG can consist of ports on a single unit or across multiple stack members. When a LAG members span different units across a stack, and a unit fails, the remaining LAG members on the functional units continue to handle traffic for the LAG.

more resilient LAG. Best practices suggest using dynamic link aggregation instead of static link aggregation.When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither transmits nor receives LACP PDUs. What is LAG Hashing? PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support configuration of hashing algorithms for each LAG interface.
Page 822: How Do Lags Interact With Other Features
How Do LAGs Interact with Other Features? From a system perspective, a LAG is treated just as a physical port, with the same configuration parameters for administrative enable/disable, spanning tree port priority, path cost as may be for any other physical port. VLAN When members are added to a LAG, they are removed from all existing VLAN membership.

The topics covered in this chapter are: • Routing Interface Overview • Default Routing Interface Values •...
Page 844: What Are Loopback Interfaces
For each VLAN routing interface you can assign a static IP address, or you can allow a network DHCP server to assign a dynamic IP address. When a port is enabled for bridging (L2 switching) rather than routing, which is the default, all normal bridge processing is performed for an inbound packet, which is then associated with a VLAN.
Page 845: What Are Tunnel Interfaces
What Are Tunnel Interfaces? Tunnels are a mechanism for transporting a packet across a network so that it tunnel endpoint can be evaluated at a remote location or . The tunnel, effectively, hides the packet from the network used to transport the packet to the endpoint.
Page 846 In Figure 30-1 the PowerConnect switch is configured as an L3 device and performs the routing functions for hosts connected to the L2 switches. For Host A to communicate with Host B, no routing is necessary. These hosts are in the same VLAN. However, for Host A in VLAN 10 to communicate with Host C in VLAN 20, the PowerConnect switch must perform inter-VLAN routing.
Page 847: Default Routing Interface Values
Tunnel Interface Tunnels can be used in networks that support both IPv6 and IPv4. The tunnel allows non-contiguous IPv6 networks to be connected over an IPv4 infrastructure. Default Routing Interface Values By default, no routing interfaces are configured. When you create a VLAN, no IP address is configured, and DHCP is disabled. After you configure an IP address, routing is automatically enabled on the interface, and the interface has the default configuration shown in Table 30-1.

Enabling L2 Relay on VLANs You can enable L2 DHCP relay on a particular VLAN. The VLAN is identified by a service VLAN ID (S-VID), which a service provider uses to identify a customer’s traffic while traversing the provider network to multiple remote sites.

Page 931: Configuring Ospf And Ospfv3
Configuring OSPF and OSPFv3 This chapter describes how to configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and OSPFv3. OSPF is a dynamic routing protocol for IPv4 networks, and OSPFv3 is used to route traffic in IPv6 networks. The protocols are configured separately within the software, but their functionality is largely similar for IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Page 932: Ospf Overview
OSPF Overview OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that performs dynamic routing within a network. PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support two dynamic routing protocols: OSPF and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Unlike RIP , OSPF is a link-state protocol. Larger networks typically use the OSPF protocol instead of RIP.
Page 933: What Are Ospf Routers And Lsas
What Are OSPF Routers and LSAs? When a PowerConnect switch is configured to use OSPF for dynamic routing, it is considered to be an OSPF router. OSPF routers keep track of the state of the various links they send data to. Routers exchange OSPF link state advertisements (LSAs) with other routers.
Page 934: Default Ospf Values
Default OSPF Values OSPF is globally enabled by default. To make it operational on the router, you must configure a router ID and enable OSPF on at least one interface. Table 34-1 shows the global default values for OSPF and OSPFv3. Table 34-1.
