cept to create high-capacity networks where each site enjoys its own dedicated connection. The BDU is an additional component in the Multiple Point-to-Point architecture. It enhances ease of installation and maintenance, as all co-located ODUs receive Power-over-Ethernet directly from the BDU. Traffic is then aggregated towards the uplink connections, which can be TDM or Ethernet based (as illustrated in Figure 1-2, the uplink can also be based on RADWINs wireless products such as WinLink 1000 or RADWIN 2000).

Figure 1-2: Typical Multiple Point-to-Point deployment with wireless uplink

Key Features of RADWIN BDU


Some of the outstanding features of the BDU are as follows:

TDM / Ethernet Uplink Connections Up to two Uplink connections can be used, aggregating traffic from the access side, while allowing the flexibility to use either Ethernet or TDM in each one of them. The uplink can also be wireless-based by connecting a WinLink 1000 or RADWIN 2000 radio link to these Uplink connections.

Up to Eight WinLink 1000 ODUs Up to eight WinLink 1000 ODUs can be connected to distribute traffic from a Multiple Point-to-Point Hub site to remote sites, providing Power-over-Ethernet to the ODUs. They are configurable as RADWIN ODU ports or 802.3af.

Full Layer-2 Switching Capabilities The BDU is a fully managed switch, supporting access control, VLAN IDs and rate-limiting per port. It provides the quality-of-service management required for advanced data services.

Key Features of RADWIN BDU

Chapter 1

The BDU Auxiliary port is configurable by the user to be either an ODU port or a standard 802.3af PoE port feeding power to external devices such as video surveillance camera.

Simple Installation and Management Being an all-in-one device, the BDU reduces the operational expenses incurred by installing and maintaining several devices with different capabilities. It is fully manageable through a web-based application, the BDU Manager. It can also be managed from a Telnet session or SNMP.

Configurable as a VLAN Switch The BDU supports up to 64 VLANs at a time.

Note

This manual assumes that users configuring the BDU as a VLAN switch are familiar with IEEE 802.1q concepts and terminology.

The BDU is recognized by and manageable by RADWIN NMS

RADWIN BDU SFP Support


The Small Form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used in communications applications. The SFP transceiver technology allows almost any protocol converter implementation with seamless integration to a standard Ethernet switch. The RADWIN BDU supports SFP transceivers to provide and support several network applications. Any standard GE (Giga Ethernet) SFP transceiver can be plugged into the BDU. These SFPs support various Ethernet interfaces. For example a fiber optic interface can be used. In addition, System on SFP transceivers can be used, supporting a protocol converter concept. The main application for such SFP transceivers is Ethernet over TDM providing full duplex Ethernet Remote Bridge over E1/ T1 or over E3/T3.

Terminology
In the BDU Manager, the word Copper may appear in tabs or dialogs. It is synonymous for Ethernet over an RJ-45 connection. The word Backbone is sometimes used instead of Uplink

BDU Manager: Overview


General
The RADWIN BDU can be managed from a Web browser, Telnet or SNMP. This chapter shows how to manage the BDU using the BDU Manager through a Web browser.

Pre-requisites
The BDU Manager is Java-based. Your computer may use any operating system, provided that your browser is Java applet enabled. It should also have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or later installed. Java is freeware and can be downloaded from here: http://www.java.com

Using a Web Browser to Launch the BDU Manager To launch the BDU Manager:
1. Ensure that your computer is connected or has access to the same network as that of the BDU to be managed. For a direct connection, connect the Auxiliary port of the BDU to an Ethernet port on your computer. 2. Launch your Web browser. In the browser address bar type the IP address of the BDU unit to be accessed and press Enter. It may take a few seconds for the Java applet to load the BDU Manager. Once completed, then the Log on window appears as shown in Figure 3-1. The factory default IP address of the BDU is 10.0.0.220.

Features
Global Configuration
This dialog sets Learning, Aging Time and Priority Policy. The Ethernet switch Learning is always enabled and cannot be configured. The BDU maintains an updated MAC address look-up table by continuously learning and flooding. The BDU can be configured to remove unused addresses or those that are not being used for a specified period (using aging time). Each new look-up table entry is given a timestamp. Every time a packet is received from a node, the timestamp is updated. The entry is erased from the look-up table after the user configurable aging time with no activity from that network device (MAC address) has elapsed. Setting too short an aging time can cause addresses to be prematurely removed from the table. Then when the BDU receives a packet for that destination, it floods the packet to all ports. This unnecessary flooding can impact the network performance. Setting too long an aging time can cause the address table to be filled with unused addresses; it can cause delays in establishing connectivity when a network device is moved to a different port. Address migration capabilities when a network device is moved to a different port in the same BDU, the move is identified by the BDU after the first transmission from the network device is received. The MAC table is immediately updated with no relation to the aging time.

When Egress Tag Insert is selected, always adds a tag on egress. Tag will be added to both untagged frames and to tagged frames (double tag). Filters frames for the VLAN membership of the marked port.

Ingressing frames are not modified. Frames are transmitted unmodified. Frames are transmitted unmodified. Double tag not active on egress.

Egress Double Tag Support VLAN Filtering

Frames are received unfiltered.

Note

VLAN filtering operates on the ports incoming and outgoing frames. A port whose VLAN Filtering is enabled will only forward a frame if it is a tagged frame of the VLAN that the port is a member of. A nonVLAN frame will be treated as if having the default VID of its ingress port. To avoid VLAN lockout, it is necessary to configure the VLAN membership (using the 802.1q VLANs tab) before enabling the VLAN filtering. Frames without VLAN Tags or frames who's Tags are removed on Ingress (Ingress Tag Remove) will be filtered (if the VLAN filtering is enabled on both the switch and the specific port) according to the default VLAN ID (default VID) assigned to the originating port.

To secure access from the managing computer:


It is recommended to use VLAN filtering for the managing computer (referred to as MNGT). Operating management VLAN filtering requires that the management traffic on the network includes a management VLAN tag. This will avoid flooding the management by broadcast / multicast traffic through the BDU. If the management traffic does not include a VLAN tag, the management VLAN filtering can still be used by assigning a default VID, identical to the defined management VLAN number, to the port from which the management traffic is received. MNGT VLAN filtering overrules Remote Management Path (see Chapter 6).

Note

Port Based VLAN


Static VLAN assignments are created by assigning ports to a VLAN. With port-based VLAN membership, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN inde-

Transparent VID is a further enhancement to VLAN tag configuration. This function is useful to support an application or device that does not accept tagged frames on an otherwise tagged network. The Transparent VID function defines a unique transparent VID to selected port(s). If the Egress Tag Insert is selected on those port(s) and Transparent VID is enabled, a tag will not be added to frames bearing the transparent VID when egressing. Those frames will be transmitted untagged while all other frames, bearing other VIDs, will be transmitted tagged.

To Configure Transparent VID:


1. Click Features and open the Transparent VID dialog. 2. Check Enable to activate the Transparent VID feature. 3. Enter the VID and check the appropriate ports.

VLAN Management Grace Time


All RADWIN products supporting VLAN provide a two minute grace time after power-up to re-configure the BDU. It works like this: 1. For two minutes after power-up, you may re-configured the BDU in both VLAN and non-VLAN mode. 2. During this period, the BDU handles both VLAN and non-VLAN requests. 3. After two minutes, the BDU responds only to VLAN request

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Chapter 5

Power over Ethernet (PoE)


The BDU supports PoE on all ODU and AUX ports, with maximum PoE power capability of 13.75W per port (total 110W). The external power supply should be capable of providing at least 120W.

Note
If a port is configured to operate in 802.3af mode, when an 802.3af powered device is connected to the port, the port detects and classifies the device according to the 802.3af standard and activates the power accordingly. If the powered device is not 802.3af compliant, it will not be recognized and the port will not supply power to the device. If a port is configured to operate in Force PoE On mode, 48V PoE power is always available. Care should be taken that only WinLink 1000 ODUs be connected to the ODU ports. Other devices connected to the ODU ports may be damaged. The seven ODU ports are pre-configured to PoE Force On mode, while the AUX port can be configured to any of the PoE modes. The monitoring and management of the PoE operation of the ODU/AUX ports is done from the PoE dialog in the Port View window.

QoS

Chapter 5 Consumption: Displays the actual power being consumed by the powered device connected to the port. Voltage: Displays the PoE voltage supplied to the port.

QoS
The packet flow through each port is defined by the Ingress / Egress Policy. The BDU provides three criteria that determine the policy, described in more detail below: QoS priority information Rate Limit

QoS Priority Definitions


The BDU uses an advanced non-blocking, four priority output port queue architecture. Frames exit the unit using a weighted, fair queuing scheme in which the weights 8, 4, 2, 1 are applied to the four priority output queues: eight frames from priority 3 egress, followed by four frames from priority 2, etc. Ingress frames are queued to the proper output queues according to their priority. The frame priority is determined either in the 802.3ac tag or in the TOS field.

Figure 5-7: Port View screen QoS dialog

To define QoS priority criteria:


1. In the BDU Manager main window, click on the port of interest. The Port View window appears. 2. From the Port View window, click the QoS tab and set the port priority forwarding according to the following parameters. Ingress 802.3ac Enables queuing of ingressing frames with 802.3ac tags containing 802.1p priority information to be queued accordingly

BDU User Manual

Version 6.2

5-7

Rate Limit Definition

Chapter 5 Ingress ToS (Type of Service) - Enables queuing of ingressing frames with IPv4 TOS / DiffServ or IPv6 Traffic Class priority to be queued accordingly

If both Ingress IEEE 802.3ac and Ingress ToS are enabled, and a frame arrives with both types of priorities set, the frame will be queued according to the IEEE 802.3ac information.

Rate Limit Definition


Frames enter (ingress) the port at the rate limit allocated to their identified priority level. Frames without a priority level, enter the switch at the rate limit assigned to the port (default PRI parameter). All frames exit (egress) the port at the Egress rate limit. The BDU supports progressive Ingress rate limits for four priorities, where the rate for each priority level is relative to the previous level. Only Priority0 is assigned a value. For example, if Priority 0 rate is set to 8 Mbps, then priority 1 rate may be the same or double that of priority 0, priority 2 rate is the same or double that of priority 1, etc.

To define QoS Rate Limits:


In the BDU Manager main window, click on the port of interest. The Port View window appears. The QoS configuration options are shown in Table 5-4:

Table 5-4: QoS configuration options


Rate limit parameters Egress rate Ingress PRI 0 (low) Ingress PRI 1 Ingress PRI 2 Ingress PRI 3 (high) Available options Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps. Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps. Same as PRI 0 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 160 Mbps depending on PRI 0 settings).

Security
Securing Management Access
To avoid tedious repetition, it will be assumed that you are logged on to the BDU Manager as Installer. There are three ways to remotely manage the BDU: through a Web browser, SNMP, or Telnet. The BDU provides various advanced methods for securing the remote management access. The management access security features, provided for the different management applications, are listed in Table 6-1 below:

Table 6-1: Accessibility using different management methods


Methods of Security Management Community Strings (SNMP) Get Community and Set Community strings. User Access Levels Three password protected user access levels. Management Access List Restricts access only to managers whose IP address is defined on this list (white list). Secure NMS Path Restricts management access to specific ports. VLAN Secured Management Assigns specific VLAN for management to isolate and secure management traffic and avoid management flooding by irrelevant traffic.

Community String / Passwords


The community string is a string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters, part of the SNMP packet. The SNMP agent in the BDU will respond only to SNMP packets whose community string matches that of its configuration. SNMP defines different community strings for Get and Set commands. The factory default community settings of the device are:

BDU User Manual

Version 6.2

6-1

User Access Levels SNMP Get community public SNMP Set community netman

Chapter 6

These community strings may be modified through the BDU Manager (Installer level) or using the Telnet commands: set get community and set set community (see Chapter 9).

User Access Levels


The BDU defines three user access levels: Observer, Operator and Installer. For details see Chapter 3.

Management Access List


The management access list restricts management access only to managers whose IP address is listed in the BDU Access List. Up to eight entries can be defined. When the access list is enabled, the BDU may be reached only by remote manager(s) whose IP address is listed in the access list. When the access list is disabled, the device may be reached from any IP address. The access list may also be managed through Telnet show / add / delete acl entry" command (see Chapter 9).

Note

To define the Management Access List:


Lock-out protection: The access list security cannot be enabled unless the IP address of the active managing computer exists in the list. The IP address of the active managing computer cannot be deleted as long as the Enable access list is check-marked.

Note

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click Management. 2. In that Management window, click the Access List tab.

Figure 6-1: Management and Access List dialogs


3. Click Add, type the IP address of the managing computer from which access will be allowed in the new window and click OK. Repeat for every additional IP address to be added (up to eight).

To delete an address:
Select the address from the list and click Delete.

Remote Management (NMS) Path


The in-band management path can be secured by limiting the remote access through either ODU/AUX ports, Uplink ports or all ports. By default, the Remote Management path is not secured, allowing access from all ports.

To change the Remote Management Path:


1. From the BDU Manager main window, click Management. 2. In the Management window, Remote Management Path dialog, click on the selection box and select the desired option.

Figure 6-2: Changing the Remote Management Path


3. Click Apply. User Port(s) only access is allowed only through the ODU/AUX ports (ports 1-8) Uplink Port(s) only access is allowed only through the Uplink ports (1-2) All Ports Secure NMS Path option is disabled and access is allowed through all ports

MGMT VLAN filtering (see Chapter 4) overrules Remote Management Path.

Note

Securing Management Access using VLAN


Securing management access using VLAN isolates and secures management traffic and avoids management flooding by irrelevant traffic. You can assign a dedicated VLAN to the management traffic. Only frames belonging to that specific VLAN, received from ports belonging to the same VLAN membership group, can communicate with the managing computer.

Securing Network Access

Chapter 6

This type of VLAN configuration provides an additional level of security to management access.See page 4-6 for VLAN configuration.

Securing Network Access


The BDU provides enhanced network security features by introducing advanced port based network access control. The BDU supports port based MAC access security as well as optional 802.1x port based network access security.

MAC Access Security


Securing User Access to the Network
The MAC access security prevents the operator from connecting unauthorized network equipment to the AUX ports of the BDU. The ODU ports are preset without MAC security, whereas the AUX port has MAC security configuration options. The MAC security feature is configurable only from the Installer level. MAC security has two operational modes, High Security Level and Low Security Level.

High Security Level


High security allows association of only one specific MAC address per port. If the port attempts to learn different MAC addresses, it will immediately be blocked. The port will unblock automatically only when a permitted device is connected and the aging time has elapsed for all other MAC addresses. High security ensures single device access to the port.

Low Security Level


Low security allows access of multiple network devices to one port, provided that at least one of the devices connected to the port has a valid MAC address. When none of the devices is recognized by its MAC address, the port is blocked. The Low Security Level blocks the port after the aging time of the valid MAC address has elapsed. It is important to keep this in mind when configuring the aging time parameters.

Monitoring and Diagnostics


To avoid tedious repetition, it will be assumed that you are logged on to the BDU Manager as Installer.

Unit and Port Level Diagnostics


The BDU provides monitoring and diagnostics functions at both system and port level: System level The last 64 events are stored. The events display can be filtered according to user defined criteria. A red bell icon on the BDU Manager main screen provides notification of a new event. The system reports two levels of events: Notify and Major. Major events also generate a pop-up dialog box. Events may be acknowledged by an Administrator level user. Only events occurring on the network ports of the BDU are recorded. Configuration changes that are initiated by the network manager are not considered events. Events can also be sent as SNMP traps to additional destinations by adding their IP addresses to the BDUs SNMP Trap Destination List. Port level Monitoring and analysis includes port specific RMON statistics, counters and port monitoring.

SNMP Trap Destinations


When a system event is detected, the BDU sends a trap to a list of destinations. The Trap destination list may be configured through Web, Telnet and SNMP.

Note

Port Level Statistics and RMON


RMON (Remote Network Monitoring) provides standard information that can be used to monitor and analyze port traffic from a central site. The BDU supports RMON RFC 2819 (which supersedes 1757 and 1217) Ethernet statistics group. In addition to RMON information, statistics for Rx packets and counters for Tx packets can be monitored for each port. BDU User Manual Version 6.2 7-5

Port Monitoring

Chapter 7

To display the port RMON information, Rx statistics and Tx counter:


1. From the BDU Manager main window, click the icon of the port of interest. The Port View window appears. 2. From the Port View window, select the Statistics dialog as shown in Figure 7-5 below:

Figure 7-5: Port Statistics and Counters

Port Monitoring
The port monitoring feature enables analyzing and recording valid data on a port by mirroring its traffic to a second user allocated (monitoring destination) port. You may monitor the egress, or both ingress and egress data of any port. This feature can be used for network analysis as well as recording port traffic. You can monitor more than one port on a single monitoring destination port. The monitoring port bandwidth is limited to the destination port bandwidth. Therefore, to ensure the integrity of the monitored data, flow control is automatically activated on the monitored port(s) as soon as the monitored traffic exceeds the destinations port bandwidth.

To configure port monitoring:


1. From the BDU Manager main window, click on the port to be monitored. The Port View window appears. 2. From the Port View window, click the Monitor tab.
