Ellipsis:

nIn code and screen examples, a vertical or horizontal ellipsis indicates an

omission of information.

nIn syntax using brackets and braces, an ellipsis indicates items that can be

repeated. When an item followed by ellipses is enclosed in brackets, zero

or more items can be specified.

About the examples

Examples in this document are representative and might not match your particular switch or

environment.

The slot and port numbers in this document are for illustration only and might be unavailable on your

switch.

Understanding the CLI prompts

When illustrating the prompts in the command line interface (CLI), this document uses the generic term

switch, instead of the host name of the switch. For example:

switch>

The CLI prompt indicates the current command context. For example:

switch>

Indicates the operator command context.

switch#

Indicates the manager command context.

switch(CONTEXT-NAME)#

Indicates the configuration context for a feature. For example:

switch(config-if)#

Identifies the interface context.

Variable information in CLI prompts

In certain configuration contexts, the prompt may include variable information. For example, when in

the VLAN configuration context, a VLAN number appears in the prompt:

switch(config-vlan-100)#

When referring to this context, this document uses the syntax:

switch(config-vlan-<VLAN-ID>)#

Where <VLAN-ID> is a variable representing the VLAN number.

Identifying switch ports and interfaces

Physical ports on the switch and their corresponding logical software interfaces are identified using the

format:

member/slot/port

On the 6200 Switch Series

nmember: Member number of the switch in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack. Range: 1 to 8.

The primary switch is always member 1. If the switch is not a member of a VSF stack, then member is

1.

nslot: Always 1. This is not a modular switch, so there are no slots.

nport: Physical number of a port on the switch.

For example, the logical interface 1/1/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 1 on

member 1.

On the 6300 Switch Series

nmember: Member number of the switch in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack. Range: 1 to 10.

The primary switch is always member 1. If the switch is not a member of a VSF stack, then member is

1.

nslot: Always 1. This is not a modular switch, so there are no slots.

nport: Physical number of a port on the switch.

For example, the logical interface 1/1/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 on member 1.

On the 6400 Switch Series

nmember: Always 1. VSF is not supported on this switch.

nslot: Specifies physical location of a module in the switch chassis.

oManagement modules are on the front of the switch in slots 1/1 and 1/2.

oLine modules are on the front of the switch starting in slot 1/3.

nport: Physical number of a port on a line module.

For example, the logical interface 1/3/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 3 on

member 1.

On the 83xx, 9300, and 10000 Switch Series

nmember: Always 1. VSF is not supported on this switch.

nslot: Always 1. This is not a modular switch, so there are no slots.

nport: Physical number of a port on the switch.

For example, the logical interface 1/1/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 on the switch.

About this document |18

If using breakout cables, the port designation changes to x:y, where x is the physical port and y is the lane when

split to 4 x 10G or 4 x 25G. For example, the logical interface 1/1/4:2 in software is associated with lane 2 on

physical port 4 in slot 1 on member 1.

On the 8400 Switch Series

nmember: Always 1. VSF is not supported on this switch.

nslot: Specifies physical location of a module in the switch chassis.

oManagement modules are on the front of the switch in slots 1/5 and 1/6.

oLine modules are on the front of the switch in slots 1/1 through 1/4, and 1/7 through 1/10.

nport: Physical number of a port on a line module

For example, the logical interface 1/1/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 1 on

member 1.

Identifying modular switch components

nPower supplies are on the front of the switch behind the bezel above the management modules.

Power supplies are labeled in software in the format: member/power supply:

omember: 1.

opower supply: 1 to 4.

nFans are on the rear of the switch and are labeled in software as: member/tray/fan:

omember: 1.

otray: 1 to 4.

ofan: 1 to 4.

nFabric modules are not labeled on the switch but are labeled in software in the format:

member/module:

omember: 1.

omember: 1 or 2.

nThe display module on the rear of the switch is not labeled with a member or slot number.

Chapter 2

Multicast overview

Multicast addressing allows one-to-many or many-to-many communication among hosts on a network.

Typical applications of multicast communication include: audio and video streaming, desktop

conferencing, collaborative computing, and similar applications.

In a network where IP multicast traffic is transmitted for multimedia applications, such traffic is blocked

at routed interface (VLAN) boundaries unless a multicast routing protocol is running. Protocol

Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of routing protocols that form multicast trees to forward traffic

from multicast sources to subnets that have used a protocol such as IGMP to request the traffic. PIM

relies on the unicast routing tables created by any of several unicast routing protocols to identify the

path back to a multicast source (Reverse Path Forwarding, or RPF). With this information, PIM sets up the

distribution tree for the multicast traffic. IGMP provides the multicast traffic link between a host and a

multicast router running PIM-SM. Both PIM-SM and IGMP must be enabled on VLANs whose member

ports have directly connected hosts with a valid need to join multicast groups.

IGMP snooping (Internet Group Management Protocol controls) can be configured per-VLAN basis to

reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage. In the factory default state (IGMP and IGMP snooping disabled),

the switch simply floods all IP multicast traffic it receives on a given VLAN through all ports on that VLAN

(except the port on which it received the traffic). This can result in significant and unnecessary

bandwidth usage in networks where IP multicast traffic is a factor. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to

detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP will be

configured on the hosts, and multicast traffic will be generated by one or more servers (inside or outside

of the local network). Switches in the network (that support IGMP snooping) can then be configured to

direct the multicast traffic to only the ports where needed. If multiple VLANs are configured, you can

configure IGMP snooping on a per-VLAN basis.

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is an IPv6 protocol used on a local link for multicast group

management. MLD snooping is a subset of the MLD protocol that operates at the port level and

conserves network bandwidth by reducing the flooding of multicast IPv6 packets.

Static multicast routes can be configured in bridge mode to prevent traffic from being routed from one interface

to another without impacting CPU usage by multicast daemons. If a multicast deployment is using ACLs or

policies to block traffic for specific groups or sources, and a static multicast route is also configured to drop or

allow traffic along with these policies, traffic will be forwarded/routed only if both the static multicast route and

the policy are configured to allow traffic. If one or more of these are configured to drop the traffic, traffic will be

dropped.

Layer 3 multicast protocols include:

nIGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for last-hop multicast group management. Current RFCs

Multicast addresses

Each multicast host group is identified by a single IP address in the range of 224.0.0.0 through

239.255.255.255.

nFor the 8320 and 8325 switch: AOS-CX supports 4K IPv4 multicast flows.

nFor the 10000 switch:AOS-CX supports 4K IPv4 multicast flows.

nFor the 9300 switch:AOS-CX supports 4K IPv4 multicast flows.

nFor the 8400 switch: AOS-CX supports 16K IPv4 multicast flows.

nFor the 6400/6300 switch: AOS-CX supports 4K IPv4 multicast flows.

nFor the 6200 switch: AOS-CX supports 1K IPv4 multicast flows.

For a list of all reserved and well known multicast addresses, see the standards document at the

following links:

nhttps://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-addresses.xhtml

Sub-interface recommendations and limitations

(Supported only on the Aruba 6300, 6400, 8100, 8325, 8360 and 10000 Switch Series.)

The following recommendations and limitations apply:

nWhen ROP/sub-interface as uplink is used towards multicast source, a PIM-enabled point-to-point

transit VLAN over ISL between VSX devices should be added to ensure an alternate path to reach the

upstream multicast source. This transit VLAN is not carried on VSX LAGs. (A dedicated point-to-point

link between VSX primary and secondary can also be used.)

nIf KA is used for the P2P sub-interface link, KA has to be in a different VRF.

nBFD is not supported on sub-interfaces.

nIn case of PIMv6 configuration, ensure that the 802.1Q VLANID and SVI VLANID are different. If both

the VLAN IDs are same, then the neighborship will not be formed correctly. This is applicable only for

8325 and 10000 Switch Series.
