  MSTP configuration As a Layer 2 management protocol, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) eliminates Layer 2 loops by selectively blocking redundant links in a network, and also allows for link redundancy.

  If a path becomes faulty, the root port on this will no longer receives new configuration BPDUs and the  old configuration BPDUs will be discarded due to timeout. The device generates a configuration BPDU with itself as the root and sends out the BPDUs and TCN BPDUs. This triggers a new spanning tree calculation process to establish a new path to restore the network connectivity.

• Page 197: Mstp

  MSTP STP and RSTP limitations STP does not support rapid state transition of ports. A newly elected port must wait twice the forward delay time before transiting to the forwarding state, even if it connects to a point-to-point link or is an edge port. Although RSTP supports rapid network convergence, it has the same drawback as STP—All bridges within a LAN share the same spanning tree, so redundant links cannot be blocked based on VLAN, and the packets of all VLANs are forwarded along the same spanning tree.

  DHCP overview NOTE: After the DHCP client is enabled on an interface, the interface can dynamically obtain an IP address and other configuration parameters from the DHCP server. This facilitates configuration and centralized management. For more information about the DHCP client configuration, see the chapter “VLAN interface configuration”.

• Page 287: Dynamic Ip Address Allocation Process

  Manual allocation: The network administrator assigns an IP address to a client like a WWW server,  and DHCP conveys the assigned address to the client.  Automatic allocation: DHCP assigns a permanent IP address to a client.  Dynamic allocation: DHCP assigns an IP address to a client for a limited period of time, which is called a lease.

• Page 288: Dhcp Message Format

  When the half lease duration elapses, the DHCP client sends to the DHCP server a DHCP-REQUEST unicast to extend the lease duration. Upon availability of the IP address, the DHCP server returns a DHCP-ACK unicast confirming that the client’s lease duration has been extended, or a DHCP-NAK unicast denying the request.

• Page 375: Radius Configuration

  RADIUS configuration Introduction to RADIUS The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol implements Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). For more information, see the chapter “AAA configuration”. RADIUS uses the client/server model. It can protect networks against unauthorized access and is often used in network environments where both high security and remote user access are required.

• Page 376: Basic Message Exchange Process Of Radius

  to prevent user passwords from being intercepted on insecure networks, RADIUS encrypts passwords before transmitting them. A RADIUS server supports multiple user authentication methods. Moreover, a RADIUS server can act as the client of another AAA server to provide authentication proxy services. Basic message exchange process of RADIUS illustrates the interaction of the host, the RADIUS client, and the RADIUS server.

• Page 377: Radius Packet Format

  Table 129 The RADIUS server returns a stop-accounting response (Accounting-Response) and stops accounting for the user. Table 130 The user stops access to network resources. RADIUS packet format RADIUS uses UDP to transmit messages. It ensures the smooth message exchange between the RADIUS server and the client through a series of mechanisms, including the timer management mechanism, retransmission mechanism, and slave server mechanism.

  PKI configuration PKI overview The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a hierarchical framework designed for providing information security through public key technologies and digital certificates and verifying the identities of the digital certificate owners. PKI employs digital certificates, which are bindings of certificate owner identity information and public keys. It allows users to obtain certificates, use certificates, and revoke certificates.

• Page 396: Applications Of Pki

  PKI architecture Entity An entity is an end user of PKI products or services, such as a person, an organization, a device like a router or a switch, or a process running on a computer. A certificate authority (CA) is a trusted authority responsible for issuing and managing digital certificates. A CA issues certificates, specifies the validity periods of certificates, and revokes certificates as needed by publishing CRLs.

• Page 397: Operation Of Pki

  Secure email Emails require confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. PKI can address these needs. The secure e-mail protocol that is developing rapidly is Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), which is based on PKI and allows for transfer of encrypted mails with signature. Web security For Web security, two peers can establish a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection first for transparent and secure communications at the application layer.

  QoS configuration Introduction to QoS Quality of Service (QoS) reflects the ability of a network to meet customer needs. In an Internet, QoS evaluates the ability of the network to forward packets of different services. The evaluation can be based on different criteria because the network may provide various services. Generally, QoS performance is measured with respect to bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio during packet forwarding process.

• Page 435
  Traffic congestion causes The traffic enters a device from a high speed link and is forwarded over a low speed link.   The packet flows enter a device from several incoming interfaces and are forwarded out an outgoing interface, whose rate is smaller than the total rate of these incoming interfaces. When traffic arrives at the line speed, a bottleneck is created at the outgoing interface causing congestion.

IRF stack management

The HP V1910 IRF stack management feature enables you to configure and monitor a stack of connected HP V1910 switches by logging in to one switch in the stack, as shown in a.

IMPORTANT:

The HP V1910 IRF stack management feature does not provide the functions of HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. To avoid confusion, IRF stack management is simply called stack management in this document.

a.Network diagram for stack management

To set up a stack, you must log in to one switch to create the stack, and this switch becomes the master for the stack. You then configure and monitor all other member switches on the master switch. The ports that connect the stack member switches are called stack ports.

Configuring stack management

Stack management configuration task list

Perform the tasks in 1 to configure stack management.

1.Stack management configuration task list

a.Setup

2.Configuration items of global parameters

Configure a private IP address pool for the stack.

The master switch of a stack must be configured with a private IP address pool to ensure that it can automatically allocate an available IP address to a member switch when the device joints the stack.

IMPORTANT:

When you configure a private IP address pool for a stack, the number of IP addresses in the address pool needs to be equal to or greater than the number of switches to be added to the stack. Otherwise, some switches may not be able to join the stack automatically for lack of private IP addresses.
