4.1.6 System IPv6 IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), also ca lled IPng (IP next generation), was developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering T ask Fo rce) as the successor to IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4). Compared with IPv4, IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bit s to 128 bits; this solves the IPv4 address exhaustion problem.
Introduction to IPv6 address 1. IPv6 address format An IPv6 address is represented as a series of 16-bit hexadecimals, separated by colons (:). An IPv6 address is divided into eight groups, and th.
The type of an IPv6 address is designated by the first several bits called format prefix. The following table lists the mappings betw een address types and format prefixes.
An interface ID is used to identify inter fac es on a link. The interface ID must be unique to the link. It may also be unique over a broader scope. In many cases, an interface ID will be the same as or based on the link-layer address of an interface.
1. IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation Message A value of 135 in the T ype field of the ICMP packet header identifies a neighbor solicitation (NS) message. Neighbor solicit ation messages are sent on t he local link when a node wants to determine the link-layer address of another nod e on the same local link.
Sets of flags that indicate t he type of autoconfiguration (state less or stateful) that can be completed Default router information (whether the device sending the advertisement should be use.

Chapter 6 VLAN The traditional Ethernet is a data network comm unication technology basi ng on CSMA/CD (Ca rrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) vi a shared communication medium.
6.1 802.1Q VLAN VLAN tags in the packet s are necessary for the sw itch to identify packet s of different VLANs. The switch works at the data link layer in OSI model and it can identify the data link layer encapsulation of the packe t only , so you can add the VLAN tag field into the data link la yer encapsulation for identification.
PVID PVID (Port Vlan ID) is the default VID of the port. When the switch receives an un-VLA N-tagged packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet according to the PVID of it s received port and forward the packet s.
T o ensure the normal communication of the factory sw itch, the default VLAN of all ports is set to VLAN1. The following ent ries are displ ayed on this screen: VLAN T able VLAN ID Select ： Click the Select button to quick-select the corresponding entry based on the VLAN ID number you entered.

Chapter 8 Ethernet OAM OAM Overview Ethernet OAM (Operation, Administ ration, and Maintenance) is a Layer 2 protocol for monitoring and troubleshooting Ethernet network s. It can report the network status to network administrators through the OAMPDUs ex changed between two OAM ent ities, facilitating network management.
Information OAMPDU : Information OAMPDU is used for di scovery . It transmits the state information of an OAM entity (including local, remote, and or ganization-specific information) to another OAM entity , and maintains OAM connection. Event Notification OAMPDU : Event Notification OAMPDU is used for link monitoring.

S tate Description Advertisement This st ate indicates that no unidi rectional link is detect ed, which includes two kinds of situations: 1. This device est ablishes bidirectional links with all its neighbors. 2. DLDP remains in Active state for more than 5 seconds.
The typical bidirectional link detection process is ○ 2 → ○ 4 → ○ 5 , and the typical unidirectional link detection process is ○ 2 → ○ 4 → ○ 6 . On the DLDP page, you can enable the DLDP state globa lly and configure the interval of the advertisement packet s and the port shutdown mode.
Shut Mode: Once detecting a unidir ectional link, the port can be shut down in one of the following two modes: Auto : In this mode, DLDP generates logs and traps and shuts down the correspon ding port on detecting unidirectional links, and the DLDP link state transits to Disable.
2. The unidirectional link should be disconnected once being detected, and the ports shut down by DLDP can be restored after the fi b er pairs are correctly connected. Network Diagram Figure 8-13 DLDP Application Exampl e Configuration Procedure Ste p Operation Description 1 Enable DLDP globally .
After these four port s are correctly connected, se lect ports 1/0/27 and 1/0/28 in the Port Config table and click the Reset button to restore their state from Disable.
Chapter 9 Multicast Multicast Overview In the network, packet s are sent in three modes: unicast, broadcas t and multicast. In unicast, the source server sends separate copy information to each receiver . When a large numbe r of users require this information, the serv er must send many pieces of info rmation with the same content to the users.
IPv4 Multicast Address 1. IPv4 Multicast IP Address: As specified by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbe rs Authority), Class D IP addresses are used as destination addresses of multic ast packets. The multicast IP addresses range from 224.0.0.0–239.255.
Flags have 4 bits. The high-order flag is re served, and must be initialized to 0. T=0 indicates a permanently-assigned multicas t address assigned by the Internet Assgined Numbers Authority (IANA). T=1 indicates a non-permanently-assigned multicast address.
The IPv6 solicited-node multicast address has the prefix FF02:0: 0:0:0:1:FF00:0000/104 concatenated with the 24 low-order bits of a co rresponding IPv6 unicast or anycast address.
port s in a VLAN. The list is constructed and main ta ined by snooping IPv6 multicast control packe ts. MLD snooping performs a similar function in IPv6 as IGMP sno oping in IPv4. The Multicast module is mainly for multicast management configuration of the switch, including three submenus: IGMP Snooping , MLD Snooping and Multicast T able.
When receivi ng IGMP leave message, the switch will forward IGMP group-specific-query message to check if other members in the multicast gr oup of the port need this multicast and reset the member port time to the leave time. When the leav e time times out, the switch will remove the port from the corresponding multicast group.

Multicast Filter feature can only have effect on the VLAN with IGMP Snooping enabled.
9.1.5 Multicast VLAN In old multicast transmission mode, when users in different VLANs apply for join the same multicast group, the multicast r outer will duplicate this multic ast information and deliver each VLAN owning a receiver one copy . Th is mode wastes a lot of bandwidth.
Note: 1. The router port should be in the multicast VL AN, otherwise the member ports can not receive multicast streams. 2. The Multicast VLAN won't take effect unle ss you first complete the configuration for the corresponding VLAN owning the port on the 802.

protocol ena bled, a supplicant can access the LAN only when it passes the authentication, whereas those failing to pass the authentication are denied when accessing the LAN.
802.1X Authentication Procedure An 802.1X authentication can be initiated by suppl i cant system or authent icator system. When the authenticator system detec ts an unauthenticated supp licant in LAN, it will initiate the 802.1X authentication by sending EAP-Reque st/Identity packet s to the supp licant.
5. Upon receiving the key (encapsulated in an EAP-Request/MD5 Challenge packet) from the switch, the client program encrypts the passwor d of the supplicant system with the key and sends the encrypted password (contained in an EAP-Response/MD5 Challenge packet) to the RADIUS server through the switch .
