A.3 Sma tT unking
SmartTrunking is a link aggregation feature that allows multiple physical
ports of the switch to be aggregated together to form a single logical
connection between network devices. All physical connections in the
logical connection carry traffic, as compared with previous software
versions in which Spanning Tree would block all traffic on all but one of
the physical connections.
Backg ound
A trunk is a group of ports that perform as a single logical port, connecting
the ELS100-24 switch with another network device. Compared with a
single port, the group of ports in a trunk feature increased bandwidth and
provide a level of connection resiliency - when one physical port link in the
trunk group goes down, the overall connection is not lost. When a port in
a trunk group is removed (link goes down or a cable is severed), traffic on
that port will be redistributed to other ports in the trunk group.
In the example in Figure A-2 below, three switches are connected
(stacked) through a series of trunk groups. Two physical ports are
combined to form each trunk group. The fiber ports in the top switch form
Trunk 1 which carries traffic to the network backbone.
Figu e A-2. T unking Application Example
SmartTrunking uses the DEC unt Group protocols - PLAP and LLAP -
to automatically establish and maintain a trunk connection. Use of these
protocols can be enabled or disabled as desired. When the protocols are

4 SmartSTACK ELS100-24 Firmware Revision 2.01 9033194
enabled, the switch is SmartTrunk-compliant and will automatically
configure to work with Cabletron products such as a Smart Switch Router
(SSR), SmartSwitch, SmartSTACK, etc. When the protocols are disabled,
the switch can be manually configured to interoperate with trunking
implementations used by other vendors.
SmartTrunking support in firmware revision 2.01 follows these
configuration rules:
•There can be up to 2 trunk groups configured per switch cluster
(group of 8 ports).
•Individual trunk groups can be defined only in one cluster, not across
clusters.
•There can be from 2-8 ports defined per trunk group.
•There can be up to 6 trunk groups defined per switch.
•Ports in a trunk group can operate in any combination of speed and
duplex mode (10 half with 100 full, for example).
•Ports in a trunk group must be in the same VLAN and have the same
VLAN mode (hybrid/access).
•The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the ELS100-24TXG cannot be
trunked.
Further information on SmartTrunking can be found in the Cabletron
Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide. To examine this guide, see the
Cabletron Systems user manual website at:
http://www.cabletron.com/support/manuals
The implementation of SmartTrunking in firmware version 2.01 on the
ELS100-24 product line differs in several ways from the information
contained in the SmartTrunk User's Guide. The primary differences in the
ELS100-24 implementation are as follows:
•Full load balancing of traffic across ports in a trunk is not supported.
Unicast traffic is sent to the same port that the destination MAC
address of the packet was learned.
•Although it is highly recommended, Spanning Tree does not have to
be enabled to use SmartTrunking.
•The ports in a trunk are not required to operate in full duplex mode,
but can be operated in any combination of half duplex or full duplex.
•If a port in a trunk goes down, traffic on that port is redirected onto
other links in the trunk whether protocols are enabled or disabled.
•If protocols are disabled, inadvertently configuring a user-attached
port to a SmartTrunking trunk group will not result in the user losing
network connectivity.
•The concept of logical ports, each comprised of the physical ports in
a trunk group, is not implemented. In both the User Interface and
SNMP, both physical port and trunk numbers can be accessed.
owever, port-related configuration features, such as port mirroring,
VLANs, Class of Service, and Spanning Tree, are performed only on
a physical port basis, not a logical port (trunk) basis.

You can enter individual ports, separated by a comma, or a range of
ports separated by a hyphen.
•Protocol Enable either enables or disables a proprietary Cabletron
protocol to be run by the switch for purposes of automatically
establishing and maintaining a trunk.
If the protocol is enabled, the switch uses the proprietary DEC unt
Group protocol to detect when multiple links are established between
two devices, and then automatically set up a trunk. Normally,
Spanning Tree would detect multiple links, and block all but one.
owever, with trunking, multiple paths are valid. Protocols should be
enabled when connecting the SmartSTACK switch to other
Cabletron devices, or any other devices using the DEC unt Group
protocol.
If the protocol is disabled, trunks should be manually configured
using the user interface, SNMP, or web access.

A.6 Disable Se ial Console
A new MIB variable was added to the Cabletron proprietary MIB allowing
the serial console of the switch to be disabled or enabled via SNMP.
Previously, the serial console was always enabled. The name of the
variable is SysComPortEnable as shown in the table in A.8.3 Cabletron
Proprietary MIB below.
A.7 Syslog
The syslog capability was added to firmware revision 2.01, enabling the
switch to forward information about errors and other conditions
encountered by the software. If the switch encounters an operational
error, it can be configured to log this occurrence to an external syslog
(UNIX) server.
A.7.1 Use Inte face
The IP address of the external syslog server is configured using the
Syslog Server IP Address option in the System Configuration menu. The
lowest severity condition to report is configured using the Lowest Syslog
Severity Level option in the same menu.
To configure syslog, do the following:
1. Select System Configuration menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select Syslog Server IP Address. The following message appears:
Enter Syslog Server IP Address:
3. In this example, the IP address of 24.1.133.111 is used. Enter the IP
address and press [Enter]. The forwarding address now appears in
the Syslog Server IP Address field (Figure A-14).
Make su e the switch IP add ess is eco ded in an easy to
locate place. If the se ial console is disabled, and the IP ad-
d ess of the switch is fo gotten, the switch cannot be man-
aged.
The web inte face can be also be used to configu e syslog.
