Network Structure

Our Foundry 10Gbit switch is "divided" into two VLANs: GSI VLAN and our private HADES VLAN. All the TRBs, switches and other network devices in the cave are in the HADES VLAN. All lxg machines are in the GSI VLAN.

INFO

  • we use passive SFP+-Direct-Attached-Copper cables for 10Gb connections between EB machines and the switch.

HADES private VLAN

  • VLAN1000
  • Subnet: 192.168.100.0 /22 (subnetmask: 255.255.252.0)
  • IP range: 192.168.100.11 - 192.168.103.249 (we should not use first 10 IPs and last 5 IPs)

GIFFWSX24 Foundry Switch

Monitoring

  • Torrus performance monitoring framework Graphs with used bandwidth for all ports of giffwsx24 (including 10Gbps uplink to GIFRX81-13/3). (or go to current path "/", choose "Network" -> "giffwsx24" -> "Interface_Counters" -> "10GigabitEthernet49")
  • Statistics of errors/collisions on giffwsx24
  • SSH access to giffwsx24:
    • Usefull commands to run:
      • show interfaces eth 17 (status of port 17)
      • show interfaces brief (port information in brief mode)
      • show mac eth 17 (mac table for port 17)
      • show arp (arp table)

Buffers

  • Buffer sizes: 32MB Ingress and 32MB Egress Buffers per PacketProcessor (one 32MB buffer per 12x1GbE Ports and one 32MB buffer for each 1x10GbE Port)
  • Removing buffer allocation limits: You can remove buffer allocation limits on all ports and all Traffic Classes globally. This permits all available buffers in a port region to be used in a first-come-first-serve basis by any of its ports, regardless of priority. By doing this , there is no limit on the number of buffers a port or a specific priority on a port can use. So one port could potentially use up all the available buffers of its port region and cause starvation on other ports of the port region.

GIFTX04 Turbo Iron Switch (10Gbit)

Buffers

  • Buffer sizes: 2MB per Port
  • TurboIron is a hybrid mode switch that can do both cut-through (sending the frame out while receiving it) and store-forward (basically, it has to - because it has ports with different speeds and also to provide QoS). This is why it needs a packet buffer. Default mode for TurboIron is cut-through, so it tries to use it as long as possible. In the case of congestion on the output port (for example, 2 ports sending traffic to 1) the switch falls back to store-and-forward and uses its buffer.

How to update the firmware

(The TFTP server is already installed on hadesdaq02, you can skip next step and go to 'Get firmware')
  • Install TFTP Server on a PC
    • mkdir /tftpboot
    • chown nobody:nobody /tftpboot
    • chmod 777 /tftpboot
    • Edit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
 
      service tftp
      {
              socket_type             = dgram
              protocol                = udp
              wait                    = yes
              flags                   = IPv6 IPv4
              user                    = root
              server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
              server_args             = -c -s /tftpboot
              disable                 = no
      }
  • Get firmware (gsm7212-6.3.3.7.opr from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/919)
  • cp gsm7212-6.3.3.7.opr /tftpboot/
  • chown nobody:nobody /tftpboot/gsm7212-6.3.3.7.opr
  • chmod 777 /tftpboot/gsm7212-6.3.3.7.opr
  • On the switch run the following commands:
    • save the current startup-config of the switch (in 192.168.100.58:/tftpboot/):
      • copy nvram:startup-config tftp://192.168.100.58//netgearGSM7212-startup-config
    • update firmware:
      • copy tftp://192.168.100.58//gsm7212-6.3.3.7.opr system:image
