Operation
SecureFast VLAN Switches
SecureFast VLAN (SFVLAN) switches are connection-oriented internetworking
devices. These devices use source address/destination address (SA/DA) pairs
along with embedded layer 3 virtual routing services to provide address
resolution and call processing. In a connection-oriented network, path
determination is accomplished through signaling performed at call setup time.
Once a call is programmed, no additional software intervention is required until
the call is completed. This type of call management operates much like a
telephone network. The circuit is set up, data is transferred, and the circuit is torn
down.
Switches switch packets at the MAC-layer and allow connectivity of endpoints
via Access Ports based on VLAN mappings. The first packet is routed, the
remaining packets are then switched along the same path. Each VLAN switch
maintains a Local Directory of endpoint MAC and network addresses found on
each switch port. The aggregation of each VLAN switch’s Local Directory form a
complete view of an entire VLAN domain. This information is used by the VLAN
Manager for assignment and verification of VLANs.
i960 Core
The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks, to support industry standard
MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each
media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN
Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided
by the i960 core.
The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU’s SmartSwitch ASIC
Interface. This allows the bridge to perform spanning tree protocol and other
bridging functions. The SMB Interfaces provide communication to the Host
Engine for management functions.
INB NIB
Each module that attaches to the Internal Network Bus (INB) has an INB Network
Interface Block (NIB). The INB NIB converts canonical frames to fixed length data
blocks for transmission onto the INB. For data blocks received from the INB, the
INB NIB reassembles the data blocks received from the INB back into canonical
frames for transmission to the SmartSwitch ASIC then from the SmartSwitch
ASIC to the front panel ports.
