transmit frames with a destination MAC address matching the entry in the
station map.
To display the contents of the Forwarding Database, use the command:
SHOW SWITCH FDB [ADDRESS=macadd][PORT={port-list|ALL}]
[STATUS={STATIC|DYNAMIC}]
To display general router settings, including settings for switch learning and
the ageing timer, use the command:
SHOW SWITCH
The Forwarding Process
The Forwarding Process forwards received frames that are to be relayed to
other ports in the same VLAN.
The destination address is then looked up in the Forwarding Database for the
VLAN. If the destination address is not found, the router floods the frame on
all ports in the VLAN except the port on which the frame was received. If the
destination address is found, the router discards the frame if the destination
address is on the same port as the source address.
The Forwarding Process provides storage for queued frames to be transmitted
over a particular port(s). More than one transmission queue may be provided
for a given port. The user priority tag in the Ethernet frame and the Quality of
Service mapping (see Quality of Service on page 3-15) determine the transmission
queue where a frame is sent.
Quality of Service
The router hardware has a number of Quality of Service (QOS) egress queues
that can be used to give priority to the transmission of some frames over other
frames on the basis of their user priority tagging. The user priority field in an
incoming frame (with value 0 to 7) determines which of the eight priority levels
the frame is allocated. When a frame is forwarded, it is sent to a QOS egress
queue on the port determined by the mapping of priority levels to QOS egress
queues. All frames in the first QOS queue are sent before any frames in the
second QOS egress queue, and so on, until frames in the last QOS egress queue,
which are sent only when there are no frames waiting to be sent in any of the
higher QOS egress queues.
The mapping between user priority and a QOS egress queue is configured
using the command:
SET SWITCH QOS=P0,P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6,P7
The router has four QOS egress queues. The router has a default mapping of
priority levels to QOS egress queues as defined in IEEE 802.1q (see Table 3-5 on
page 3-15).
