CUSTOMER BRIDGE
1.1. BRIDGE CONFIGURATION
1.1.1. FEATURE DESCRIPTION

SM-OS complies with 802.1ad standard. Different bridge type are available. Each bridge type supports different kind of ingress/egress port
which behavior is specified in the Bridge Port Type chapter.
Customer bridge [CB]: transports C-Tagged frames (TPID 0x8100) whitout adding any additional S-VLAN Tag. Untagged frames are
tranported using port default PVID.
VLAN table considers C-TAG frame field
Customer bridge supports Customer Bridge Ports
1.1.2. DEFAULT VALUES

As default Customer Bridge is configured
1.1.3. DEPENDENCIES AND RESTRICTIONS

To change bridge mode following protocols must be shutdown: GMRP, GVRP, GARP, Spanning Tree, Ethernet CFM. After bridge mode change
system automatically reboots
When bridge mode is changed VLAN table is reset to default value.
1.1.4. CLI DESCRIPTION

Following commands are used to change bridge type
Commands Description
conf t Enters configuration mode
bridge-mode customer Configure switch in Customer Bridge Mode
exit Exits configuration mode
Following commands are used to disable protocols befare changing bridge type
set gmrp disable Disables protocols
set gvrp disable
shutdown garp
shutdown spanning-tree
no ethernet cfm start
1.1.5. SHOW COMMANDS

Show commands Description
show nvram SM-OS# show nvram
…
Bridge Mode : Customer Bridge
1.1.6. EXAMPLE
#Configure bridge mode to Customer Bridge
conf t
bridge-mode customer
end
1.2. PORT CONFIGURATION

Customer Bridge ports [CB] are automatically configured once the bridge mode is set to Customer Bridge.

As default Customer Bridge port is configured

Customer Bridge port considers frames untagged according to ingress TPID 0x8100. Al frames matching a TPID different from 0x8100 are
considered as untagged and carried if default PVID is configured.

No commands are available to configure Customer Bridge ports

1.3. VLAN CONFIGURATION
VLANs can be configured to transport C-Tagged (TPID 0x8100) frames. Once a port is member set of a created VLAN, the same port can be
configured as untagged for the VLAN itself: this allows to remove tag out of the port for the selected VLANs.
VLANs can be also used to transport untagged frames (TPID ≠ 0x8100) by definition of PVID (Port VLAN Identifier): it represents the VLAN ID
that is to be assigned to untagged frames or priority-tagged or C-VLAN frames received on the port. The PVID is used for port based VLAN type
membership classification. The PVID configuration done is used based on the acceptable frame type of the port. The packets are processed
against PVID, if the packets accepted at ingress is not having a tag.

Port VLAN Identified (PVID) is 1 for all Customer Bridge Ports
No VLAN are defined in Customer Bridge except the default VLAN ID 1.

Default VLAN 1, according to standard, is reserved for internal processes and management. Can’t be deleted but can have no ports belonging
to it.
PVID can be assigned only if associated VLAN is defined. It is not possible to remove a PVID but the default value 1 can be assigned to restore
default configuration.
The system supports max 256 VLANs (range 1-4094)

1.3.4.1. C-Tagged traffic management
Following commands are used to create VLAN for C-Tagged traffic tranport
vlan <VLAN_ID> Enters in configure <VLAN_ID>
ports <ingress_egress ports> name <NAME> Defines the ports <ingress_egress> memberset of the <VLAN_ID> and a <name>
Following commands are used to add a port as memberset of already created VLAN
ports add <ingress_egress ports> Add new ports to previously created VLAN
Following commands are used to remove ports memberset of a specified VLAN

no ports <ports> Remove ports to previously created VLAN
Following commands are used to remove a specified VLAN

no vlan <VLAN_ID> Removes <VLAN_ID> from switch configuration
1.3.4.2. Untagged traffic management

Following commands are used to remove C-VLAN ID @egress for a specified VLAN
ports < ingress_egress ports> untagged Defines the ports <ports> memberset of the <VLAN_ID> that removes C-TAG
<egress_port> name <NAME> @egress port <egress_port>
Following commands are used to remove ports memberset untagged of a specified VLAN
no ports <ports> untagged <ports> Remove ports to previously created VLAN
Following commands are used to assign a PVID @ingress port to trasport untagged incoming traffic
ports <ports> name <NAME> Defines the ports <ingress_egress> memberset of the <VLAN_ID> and a <name>
interface <ingress_port> Enters interface configuration menu
switchport pvid <VLAN_ID> Defines a PVID value for the ingress port: this value is added as C-TAG for
all untagge traffic coming into <ingress_port>. Once the PVID is added as
C-TAG frames follow the VLAN table forwarding for the VLAN_ID.
Following commands are used to remove PVID @ingress port

switchport pvid 1 Assigns default PVID 1
no switchport pvid Alternatively no form can be used to assign default PVID 1 to a port

1.4. INGRESS FILTER

As per 802.1ad standard, defines the behavior of tagged and untagged traffic
ENABLE:
- Tagged traffic
Ingress port must be memberset of incoming VLAN to forward traffic out of a port memberset of the VLAN itself
- Untagged or priority tagged traffic
Follows rules defined by PVID and VLAN associated that must be specified in ingress and egress ports
DISABLE
- Tagged traffic
Incoming traffic is forwarded out of port memberset of incoming VLAN. It is not necessary ingress port is memberset of VLAN.
- Untagged or priority tagged traffic
Follows rules defined by PVID and VLAN associated that can be specified only in egress ports
It is strongly suggested to always enable this parameters in all ports to have the complete control of all kind of incoming traffic.

As default ingress filter is enabled in all ports.

By changing bridge port type (see Provider configuration) ingress filter is disable

switchport ingess <enable|disable> Enable or disable ingress filter for selected port


-------------------------------
Port Gi0/1
Port Vlan ID : 1000
Port Mode : Hybrid
-------------------------------------------------------
1.4.6. EXAMPLE
#Enable ingress-filter on g 0/9
conf t
switchport ingress-filter enable
end
1.5. ACCEPTABLE INGRESS FRAMES

As per 802.1ad standard, defines if tagger or untagged traffic must be forwarded or discarded @ingress
- All: C-Tagged, untagged and priority tagged traffic is accepted and forwarded according to VLAN and PVID rules
- Untagged and priority tagged: untagged and priority tagged traffic is accepted and forwarded according to VLAN and PVID rules
- Tagged: C-Tagged traffic is accepted and forwarded according to VLAN rules

As default acceptable ingress frame is configured as all.

-

switchport acceptable-frame-type <all | tagged Configure acceptable frame type
| untaggedAndPrioritytagged>


-------------------------------
Port Gi0/1
Port Vlan ID : 1000
Port Mode : Hybrid
-------------------------------------------------------
1.5.6. EXAMPLE
#Configure acceptable-frame-type all on g 0/9
conf t
switchport acceptable-frame-type all
end
1.6. DEFAULT PRIORITY

This command configures the default ingress user priority for a port.
This priority is assigned to frames received on the port, that does not have a priority assigned to it. This priority value is used for untagged
traffic when the switch adds a C-VLAN Etherne.
This value ranges from 0 to 7. The value 0 represents the lowest priority and the value 7 represents the highest priority.
The no form of the command resets the default ingress user priority for the port to its default value.

Default value 0.

-

switchport acceptable-frame-type <all | tagged Configure acceptable frame type
| untaggedAndPrioritytagged>


-------------------------------
Port Gi0/1
Port Vlan ID : 1000
Port Mode : Hybrid

Untagged traffic on CEP is transported:

- in S-VLAN using port default PVID defined by switchport pvid <vlan>
- in C-VLAN + S-VLAN
Second option has higher priority than first one. If C-VLAN+S-VLAN is configured, PVID configuration will not have any effect: it is not
necessary to configure ingress port PVID = S-VLAN used for untagged traffic transport
Once C-VLAN is removed, configured PVID= S-VLAN will be applied.
S-PCP is added to S-VLAN according to following criteria:

- for C-Tagged traffic S-PCP can be fixed or copy from C-PCP using switchport customer-vlan <vlan> svlan-priotyp
e {copy | fixed <prio>}. This command must be specified for any mapped C-VLAN into S-VLAN
- for untagged traffic mapped in S-VLAN using port default PCP defined by switchport priority default <PRIO> CLI (from 0 to 7)
In case untagged traffic on CEP is mapped in C-VLAN + S-VLAN

- S-PCP is added using port default PCP defined by switchport priority default <PRIO> CLI (from 0 to 7)
- C-PCP is added to 0
