Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
RADWIN's Base Distribution Unit (BDU) is an all-in-one complementary
indoor device to the WinLink™ 1000 and WinLink™ Access radio product
families, creating a complete, simple and flexible Multiple Point-to-Point
(MPtP) solution by RADWIN.
The BDU packs multiple functionality of TDM/Ethernet uplink traffic aggre-
gation, access traffic distribution to up to eight WinLink radios, and full
layer-2 switching capabilities. The BDU also provides feeding of the ODUs
and support for an external device using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
The BDU is easy to install, maintain and manage.
Figure 1-1: RADWIN BDU
Multiple Point-to-Point Hub

The BDU product is complementary to RADWIN’s Multiple Point-to-Point
product portfolio. It is an ideal solution for service providers and private net-
work managers seeking a simple and effective path to building and main-
taining wireless networks.
RADWIN’s Multiple Point-to-Point architecture is an effective solution for
ISPs that want to provide their end-users with guaranteed dedicated band-
width. Private networks can use the Multiple Point-to-Point deployment con-
BDU User Manual Version 6.2 1-1

Key Features of RADWIN BDU Chapter 1
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 architec-
ture. 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 RAD-
WIN’s 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, provid-
ing 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 man-
agement required for advanced data services.
» Auxiliary Port for an External Device

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.
This manual assumes that users configuring the BDU as a VLAN switch are
familiar with IEEE 802.1q concepts and terminology.
Note
» The BDU is recognized by and manageable by RADWIN NMS
Figure 1-3: Simple LAN with a BDU managed by RADWIN NMS

The BDU has IP address 192.168.2.110. The attached ODU’s appear
in the upper panel with IP addresses 192.168.2.101 and 102.

General Characteristics Chapter 1
For further information about RADWIN NMS, contact RADWIN Cus-

tomer Support.
General Characteristics
The BDU contains seven 10/100BaseT ODU ports, one 10/100BaseT Auxil-
iary port and two Combo Uplink ports. The unit is powered by a 48VDC 120
Watt external source.
Each Combo Uplink port includes a Gigabit SFP and 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-
45 connectors, of which only one can be “linked” at a time.
By default, the seven ODU ports are specially configured with PoE “force on”
allowing access to RADWIN ODU and similar devices. They can all be recon-
figured as 802.3af ports.
The Auxiliary port can feed standard IEEE 802.3af PoE devices as well as
RADWIN ODUs.

RADWIN BDU SFP Support

The Small Form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, is a compact, hot-plug-
gable transceiver used in communications applications.
The SFP transceiver technology allows almost any protocol converter imple-
mentation 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

Chapter 2

Connecting power to the BDU Chapter 2
Connecting power to the BDU

An enlarged schematic of the power connector is shown below:
Figure 2-5: RADWIN BDU Power connector and LEDs

The connector is 3 pin in-line female, with polarities (left to right) minus,
ground, plus, as shown.
If applicable, connect the AC/DC power adaptor to the BDU.
Connecting an ODU to the BDU

The ODU-BDU cable conducts all the user traffic between the BDU and the
ODU, and also provides power to the ODU. The maximum length of the
ODU-BDU cable is 100m (328') in accordance with 10/100BaseT IEEE stan-
dards.
The ODU-BDU cable is supplied pre-assembled with RJ-45 connectors, at
the length specified when ordering, or as a cable drum with spare connec-
tors. If the ODU-BDU cable was not ordered, use an outdoor class, CAT-5e
24AWG shielded cable. See Appendix B for Wiring Specifications.
¾ To connect the ODU to the BDU:

1. Route the cable from the ODU to the BDU, secure the cable along its path
and connect the cable to one of the ODU RJ-45 connectors on the BDU
(see item A in Figure 2-3 above).
2. Repeat this for all ODUs.
Connecting other devices to the RADWIN BDU ODU ports may damage
them.
Caution
By default, Data-connectivity to non-RADWIN devices is blocked. The ODU

ports may be reconfigured to allow non-RADWIN devices.
Note
Connecting User Equipment

¾ To connect user equipment to the BDU:
• Connect the Uplink port(s) (see items D, E, F, G in Figure 2-3 above) to
the equipment carrying the aggregated traffic towards the network.

Connecting User Equipment Chapter 2
Refer to Appendix B for connector pinouts.
You may use both Uplink ports simultaneously. For each Uplink you may use
either the Ethernet port or the SPF port but not both together.

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

¾ To launch the BDU Manager:
1. Ensure that your computer is connected or has access to the same net-
work 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.
Note
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 com-
pleted, 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.

Note

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 des-
tination, 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 dif-
ferent 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.

VLAN Configuration Chapter 4
Figure 4-6: Global Configuration dialog

In the Global Configuration dialog, aging can be configured as shown below
(learning is always enabled).
¾ To change the switch aging time:

2. Click Features. |
3. In the Global Configuration dialog, click on the Aging value. The Aging
value list appears.
4. Select the desired value.
Aging time can be set to 16 seconds, 300 seconds (5 minutes), 1800 sec-
onds (30 minutes) or No Aging.
The factory default aging setting is 300 seconds.
No Aging means the MAC addresses in the look-up table will not be
removed automatically
Note
VLAN Configuration
Still inside the Features panel, the next five dialogs deal with various
aspects of VLAN configuration. The BDU supports 802.1q VLAN and Port
Based VLAN.
VLAN Mode
VLAN Mode selects the VLAN operational scheme of the switch between
VLAN Disabled (factory default), 802.1q VLAN and Port based VLAN.
¾ To configure VLANs:
1. Do the detailed VLAN configuration using the relevant Tabs: 802.1q
VLAN Membership, 802.1q Port Settings, Port Based VLAN and
Transparent VID.
2. Enable the VLAN mode
The VLAN type must be selected from the VLAN Mode option.

Figure 4-7: VLAN Mode dialog

802.1q VLAN Membership
The 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog defines the VLAN IDs (VIDs) and the
port membership for each of the VLANs. A BDU may be configured with up
to 64 VLANs at a time, with VIDs ranging from 1 to 4095.
Figure 4-8: 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog
¾ To configure VLAN membership

1. Click the sequence Features | 802.1q VLAN Membership.
2. Click the Add button. A prompt window will appear, requesting a New
VLAN ID number. Enter a number not currently used by an existing
VLAN, then click OK.

3. The new VLAN appears on the 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog. Check all
the ports to be included in the VLAN and then click Apply.
¾ To delete a VLAN:
• Select that VLAN from the list in the 802.1q VLANs dialog and click
Delete. The VLAN is deleted without a verification prompt.
¾ To edit a VLAN:
• Simply click on the ports to add / remove from the VLAN (to check or
uncheck them), then click Apply.
802.1q Port Settings
Figure 4-9: 802.1q Port Settings dialog

The 802.1q Port Settings dialog is used for the VLAN configuration of
specific ports. Each port can be configured for:
• A unique default VLAN ID
• Tag-Insert / Tag-Remove functionality on egressing and ingressing
frames, and double Tag support
• VLAN filtering on ingressing frames
• Default Priority – sets the priority level of ingressing frames arriving
without a priority level. There are four priority levels: 0 (low) to 3
(high).
¾ To Configure VLAN Default IDs and Tag Remove/ Insert per port:
1. Click the sequence Features | 802.1q Port Settings to assign the
default VID (VLAN ID) for each port (any value between 1 and 4095).
2. Set the tag operation for each port by check marking [v] in the appropri-
ate box.
Only one of the options (Egress Tag Remove or Egress Tag Insert) can be
assigned to a port at any one time. The Tag settings are always operational,
Note regardless of the VLAN filtering setting.

Table 4-1: 802.1q VLAN Tag Configuration
Selected [9] Deselected [8]

Ingress Tag Removes 802.3ac tag (or double tag) on tagged ingressing frames. Ingressing frames are not
Remove modified.
Egress Tag Removes tag from egressing frames. Frames are transmitted
Remove unmodified.
Egress Tag Insert Adds tag to untagged egressing frames (adds the default VLAN ID assigned Frames are transmitted
to the port through which the frame entered the switch). Tagged frames unmodified.
are not modified.
Egress Double Tag Double Tag on Egress. When Egress Tag Insert is selected, always adds a Double tag not active on egress.
Support tag on egress. Tag will be added to both untagged frames and to tagged
frames (double tag).
VLAN Filtering Filters frames for the VLAN membership of the marked port. Frames are received unfiltered.
• VLAN filtering operates on the port’s 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 non-
VLAN 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 mem-
bership (using the 802.1q VLANs tab) before enabling the VLAN fil-
Note tering.
• 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.
¾ 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 manage-
ment VLAN filtering can still be used by assigning a default VID, iden-
Note tical 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).
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-

pendent of the network device attached to the port. This means all devices
attached to the port should be members in the same VLAN.
The port configuration is static and cannot be automatically changed to
another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
¾ To Configure Port Based VLAN:

1. Click Features and open the Port Based VLAN.
2. Check the appropriate ports.
Figure 4-10: Port Based VLAN selection

Transparent VID
Figure 4-11: Transparent VID dialog

VLAN Management Grace Time Chapter 4
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.
¾ 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 pow-

ered device is connected to the port, the port detects and classifies the
device according to the 802.3af standard and activates the power accord-
ingly. If the powered device is not 802.3af compliant, it will not be recog-
nized 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.
Warning
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.
PoE Management and Operation Dialog

From the PoE dialog select the PoE mode (status), configure the disconnect
mode and monitor general PoE characteristics and power consumption.
The display will differ depending on whether the port is defined as ODU or
AUX. For an AUX port, nothing may be changed:
Figure 5-4: Port View - PoE tab for an ODU port

PoE Management and Operation Dialog Chapter 5
Figure 5-5: Port View - PoE tab for an AUX port

Status: The left selection button selects the PoE operation mode (status)
and the right button shows the operational status whether or not power is
being supplied to the port.
The operational mode (status) can be selected between: Off; 802.3af On;
Force On.
Figure 5-6: Port View window, PoE dialog, Mode/Status

An ON indication on the right Status list box appears when a device is
detected and the power is provided to that port, or if the port is in PoE
Force Open mode.
An OFF indication is when power is not provided to the port due to several
possible reasons:
• The admin Status is OFF (PoE is disabled on the port)
• Nothing is connected to an 802.3af port
• The device connected to an 802.3af port is not an 802.3af compliant
device
Disconnect Mode (relevant when in 802.3af On): Selecting between
AC Disconnect or DC Disconnect mode in the port configuration window.
Selecting DC Disconnect will enable detection only of DC PDs (the most
common type of PDs currently). Selecting AC Disconnect will enable detec-
tion only of AC type PDs (mostly old PDs). The default is DC Disconnect.
Type/PD class: Indicates the PoE load type and class. If the PoE mode is
“802.3af On”, it indicates the 802.3af power classifications of the device
connected to the BDU port. If the PoE mode is “Force On”, it indicates “Not
Available”.

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
¾ 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

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 Priority-
0 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.
¾ To define QoS Rate Limits:

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

Rate limit parameters Available options
Egress rate Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps.
Ingress PRI 0 (low) Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps.
Ingress PRI 1 Same as PRI 0 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 160 Mbps depending on PRI 0 settings).
Ingress PRI 2 Same as PRI 1 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 320 Mbps depending on PRI 0 & 1 settings).
Ingress PRI 3 (high) Same as PRI 2 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 640 Mbps depending on PRI 0, 1 & 2 settings)
It is recommended that Rate limit configuration of the BDU take into

account the capacity of the radio links connected to it.
Note
The BDU also supports different Rate limit criteria when counting packets.
The switch can count all packets, broadcasts, multicasts and flooded uni-
casts in various combinations.

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

Web

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:

User Access Levels Chapter 6
SNMP Get community – public

SNMP Set community – netman
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
¾ 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.
Note • The IP address of the active managing computer cannot be deleted
as long as the Enable access list is check-marked.
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).

Remote Management (NMS) Path Chapter 6
4. Verify that the IP address of the managing computer (issuing the com-
mand) is on the Access List.
5. Click on the field at the bottom right, select Enable.
6. Click Apply. On the verification window that appears, click Yes.
¾ 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.
¾ 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 manage-
ment 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 unauthor-
ized network equipment to the AUX ports of the BDU. The ODU ports are
preset without MAC security, whereas the AUX port has MAC security config-
uration 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, pro-
vided 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
Note the aging time parameters.

MAC Access Security Chapter 6
Figure 6-3: AUX Port View Window, MAC Security dialog

ODU ports are configured with MAC security level.

MAC Security Configuration Fields:
Mode displays the MAC security operational mode (disabled, low security or
high security).
Status displays the port security status (disabled, port forwarding, or port
blocked). When Disable appears in the Status field, this means that the
MAC security is disabled. When Port Forwarding or Port Blocked
appears in the Status field, this means that the MAC security is enabled and
that the specific port is either forwarding or blocked according to the MAC
security configuration.
MAC Address 1-3 list displays MAC addresses that can be selected as the
valid MAC address.
Approved MAC field displays the MAC address to be secured.

Monitoring and
Diagnostics
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 acknowl-
edged 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 BDU’s 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 destina-
tions.
The Trap destination list may be configured through Web, Telnet and SNMP.
Note

Viewing Recorded Events

The last 64 events are stored in the BDU and are available for display at any
time through the Events Log window. The Events list is cleared when the
device is turned off or reset.
The BDU Manager displays an unlimited number of events. If it disconnects
from the BDU and reconnects, only the last 64 events that are stored in the
BDU are available in the Events Log.
Only events occurring on the network ports of the BDU are recorded. Con-
figuration changes that are initiated by the BDU Manager are not considered
as events.
The viewed events may be acknowledged and filtered according to various
user defined criteria. The events recorded are:
Major Events:
• Device voltage: changes that exceed the thresholds and return to
within limits (see page 4-3)
• Internal temperature: changes that exceed the thresholds and
return to normal (see page 4-2)
• Port Locked due to security definitions: when an unauthorized
MAC address attempts to connect to a MAC Secured port (see
page 6-4)
Notify Events:

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.

Port Monitoring Chapter 7
¾ 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 inter-
est. The Port View window appears.
2. From the Port View window, select the Statistics dialog as shown in
Figure 7-5 below:

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 destina-
tion) 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 destination’s port bandwidth.
¾ To configure port monitoring:

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