  2. Agenda • RMON • VLAN • Frame Relay • ATM

  3. RMON • Remote Monitoring Management Information Base (RMON MIB) was developed by a working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for network monitoring • It uses SNMP and its standard MIB design to provide multivendor interoperability between monitoring products and management stations

  4. RMON • RMON MIB software agents can be located on a variety of devices • Network interconnects such as bridges, routers, or hubs; • dedicated or non-dedicated hosts • customized platforms specifically designed as network management instruments

  5. RMON • RMON MIB is organized into nine groups for Ethernet (RFC 1271) and ten groups for Token Ring (RFC 1513) • Enhancements through RMON2 (RFC 2074,RFC 2021)

  6. RMON Ethernet groups • Statistics • Statistics about packets, octets, broadcasts, and multicasts on a local segment • Packet size distribution • Error counters for collisions, undersized packets, fragments, CRC, jabbers and oversized packets

  7. RMON Ethernet groups • History • Historical view of the statistics in the Statistical group except packet size distribution. Memory consuming • Host Table • Hosts statistics of packets sent and received, octets set and received, broadcasts, multicasts and error packets sent

  8. RMON Ethernet groups • Host Top N • Extends the Host Table by providing sorted hosts statistics of the top N nodes sent over the last 24 hours • Traffic Matrix • Shows the amount of traffic and number or errors between pair of nodes

  9. RMON Ethernet groups • Alarms • Setting Thresholds and sampling intervals to generate events on any counter maintained by the agent • Filters • Fills packet capture buffer with packets that match filters installed by the user

  10. RMON Ethernet groups • Packet Capture • Includes the capability for users to create a multiple number of capture buffers and to control when to wrap or stop capturing • Events • Entries created in the monitor log or SNMP traps send from the agent to the management station on Alarms of the Event group

  11. RMON Token Ring groups • Host Group, Filter Group,Matrix Group • as defined for Ethernet • Mac-Layer Statistics • collects information from Mac Layer, including error reports for the ring and ring utilization of the Mac Layer. • Promiscuous Statistics • collects utilization statistics from data packets collected promiscuously • Waldbusser [Page 4] • RFC 1513 Token Ring Extensions to RMON MIB September 1993 • 3.2. The Token Ring History Groups • The Token Ring History Groups contain historical utilization and • error statistics. The statistics are broken down into two groups, • the Token Ring Mac-Layer History Group and the Token Ring Promiscuous • History Group. The Token Ring Mac-Layer History Group collects • information from Mac Layer, including error reports for the ring and • ring utilization of the Mac Layer. The Token Ring Promiscuous • History Group collects utilization statistics from data packets • collected promiscuously. • 3.3. The Token Ring Ring Station Group • The Token Ring Ring Station Group contains statistics and status • information associated with each Token Ring station on the local • ring. In addition, this group provides status information for each • ring being monitored. • 3.4. The Token Ring Ring Station Order Group • The Token Ring Ring Station Order Group provides the order of the • stations on monitored rings. • 3.5. The Token Ring Ring Station Config Group • The Token Ring Ring Station Config Group manages token ring stations • through active means. Any station on a monitored ring may be removed • or have configuration information downloaded from it. • 3.6. The Token Ring Source Routing Group

  12. RMON Token Ring groups • Station • contains statistics and status information associated with each Token Ring station on the local ring • Station Order • provides the order of the stations on monitored rings

  13. RMON Token Ring groups • Station Order • provides the order of the stations on monitored rings • Ring Station Config • manages token ring stations through active means. Any station on a monitored ring may be removedor have configuration information downloaded from it

  14. RMON Token Ring groups • Source Routing • contains utilization statistics derived from source routing information optionally present in token ring packets

  15. Traditional Fully Routed Network • Most networks consists of a simple, hierarchical arrangement • Routers allowed communication between networks when necessary • Traditional routers are slow, complicated and expensive

  17. Standard Switched Network • Switches spearheaded the next evolution of network structure • Providing dedicated bandwidth where needed, they greatly increased performance • Traditional switches segment only unicast, or node-to-node, traffic • They do not limit broadcast traffic (packets or multicast traffic

  19. VLAN Solution • VLANs offer an effective solution to swamped routers and broadcast storms • limiting the distribution of broadcast, multicast and unicast traffic, they can help free up bandwidth • Simple management from a management console rather than the wiring closet. • Enhanced network security

  20. VLAN Solution Hub Marketing Sales Engineering PCs Corporate Router Switch Server WAN

  21. Types of VLANS • Port-based VLAN • The administrator assigns each port of a switch to a VLAN • The switch determines the VLAN membership of each packet by noting the port on which it arrives • Reassignment is necessary when a user moves to a different location • Repeater connection means that all users are automatically assigned to the same VLAN

  22. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Types of VLANS Marketing Engineering Sales Port-based VLAN Switch

  23. Types of VLANS • MAC address-based VLAN • LAN membership of a packet is determined by ist source or destination MAC address • Each switch maintains a table of MAC addresses and their corresponding VLAN memberships • A single MAC address cannot easily be a member of multiple VLANs

  24. Types of VLANS • Layer 3 (or protocol)-based VLANs • The VLAN membership of a packet is based on protocols (IP, IPX, Netbios, etc.) and Layer 3 addresses • An IP subnet or an IPX network can each be assigned their own VLAN • Protocol-based membership allows the administrator to assign non-routable protocols, such as Netbios or DECNET

  25. Types of VLANS Distinction between VLAN implementations is the method used to indicate membership • Implicit: VLAN membership is indicated by the MAC address. In this case,all switches that support a particular VLAN must share a table of member MAC addresses. • Explicit: A tag is added to the packet to indicate VLAN membership. Cisco ISL and the IEEE 802.1q VLAN specifications both use this method.

  26. VLAN Standard 802.1q • IEEE 802.1q specification is going to support port-based membership and explicit tagging • IEEE 802.1p, defines the use of priority bits, which are part of the explicit VLAN tag as defined in 802.1q

  27. VLAN Terms • VLAN ID: unique number (between 1 and 4094) that identifies a particular VLAN • VLAN Name: 32-character alphanumeric name associated with a VLAN ID • Filtering Database: Database structure within the switch that keeps track of the associations between MAC addresses, VLANs, and interface (port) numbers

  28. VLAN Terms • Filtering Database ID (FID): Addressing information that the device learns about a VLAN is stored in the filtering database assigned to that VLAN • Tag Header (VLAN Tag): Four bytes of data inserted in a frame that identifies the VLAN/frame classification • Port VLAN ID (PVID): Identifies the VLAN into which untagged frames are classified according to a specific port

  29. VLAN Terms • 1Q Trunk: connection between 802.1Q switches that passes only traffic with VLAN Tag Header inserted in the frame. 1Q Trunk drops all incoming frames that do not have a VLAN tag • 1D Trunk: connection from a switch that passes only untagged traffic

  30. WAN Technologies • What is a wide area network? • Interconnected LANs may be in the same geographic area or may be separated from one another by great distances. When the LANs are geographically disperse, they are connected into a wide area network (WAN)

  31. WAN Technologies • Two types of WAN: • Point-to-point WAN • ISDN • Cloud WAN • ATM • Frame Relay

  32. Point-to-point WAN Slough Islandia • Dedicated Connections • Fixed Speed • Administration overhead • Privately or PTT operated Darmstadt Paris

  33. Cloud WAN Slough Islandia • Transparent Connections • Easy administration • Flexible Speed • Often PTT operated Cloud WAN Darmstadt Paris

  34. Frame Relay • Initial proposals were submitted to the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) in 1984 • Major development in Frame Relay’s history in 1990 by Cisco Systems, StrataCom,Northern Telecom, and Digital Equipment Corporation

  35. Frame Relay • Cloud WAN • Inital standard 1988 (I.122) • Speeds between 56Kbps to 2Mbps and higher

  36. Frame Relay Terms • Frame Relay provides a packet-switching data communications capability • Two types of devices • User devices are data terminal equipment (DTE) • Network equipment that interfaces to DTE is a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) • Communication over Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC)

  37. Frame Relay Terms DTE DTE Frame Relay Network DCE DCE Switching Node Permanent Virtual Circuit

  38. Frame Relay Terms • The DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) identifies the logical connection that is multiplexed into the physical channel • DLCIs have local significance; the end devices at two different ends of a connection may use a different DLCI to refer to that same connection

  39. Frame Relay Terms Slough Islandia DLCI=12 DLCI=82 WAN DLCI=12 DLCI=64 Darmstadt Paris Switching Node Permanent Virtual Circuit

  40. Frame Relay Terms Frame Relay Network Data Link Connection (Logical) Channel (Physical) Router

  41. Frame Relay Terms • Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN) bit is set by the Frame Relay network in a frame to tell the DTE receiving that frame that congestion was experienced in the path from source to destination • Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN) bit is set by the Frame Relay network in frames traveling in the opposite direction from frames encountering a congested path.

  42. Frame Relay Terms • Frame Relay extensions are referred to collectively as the local management interface (LMI) • connection identifiers global rather than local significance • Virtual circuit status messages reporting the existence of new PVCs and the deletion of already existing PVCs

  43. Hybrid Frame Relay Router Multiplexer Frame Relay Network PBX Multiplexer Router Video/Teleconference

  44. Frame Relay Management • RFC 1315: MIB for Frame Relay DTEs

  45. ATM • Asynchronous Transfer Mode /ATM) can transmit voice, video, data, and graphics across LANs, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and WANs • ATM is an international standard defined by ANSI and ITU-TSS (formerly CCITT) and the ATM Forum (jointly founded in 1991 by Cisco Systems,NET/ADAPTIVE, Northern Telecom, and Sprint)

  46. ATM • Connection oriented • dedicated links existing between network devices • Cell-switching • segment data at high speeds into units called cells of 52 octets length • Multiplexing technology • single network for all traffic types, including voice, data, graphics, and video

  47. ATM ATM Switch ATM Network ATM Switch ATM Switch ATM Uplink LAN Switch

  48. ATM Terms • ATM stations connecting to the ATM network, arrange a contract with the network based on Quality of Service (QoS) of the User-to-Network Interface (UNI) specifications • ATM will be available at 155 Mbps through an interface to Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • SONET will eventually allow ATM to be deployed at rates of 622 Mbps, 1.2 Gbps, and 2.4 Gbps

  49. ATM Terms • ATM Adaptation Layer 1(AAL/1) supports connection-orientated services for traffic that is constant which require timing synchronization and constant bit rate service like video signals • ATM Adaptation Layer 3/4 (AAL/3,AAL/4) is designed for both connectionless and connection-oriented variable bit rate services
