1 • Introduction
GE Intelligent Platforms’ VXS24 is a 6U VXS fully managed (layer 2/3) 24‐port rugged Gigabit Ethernet switch, designed to meet the most demanding requirements for network switching in tactical applications. This Gigabit switch is available in both air‐ and conduction‐cooled formats and features a non‐blocking shared memory architecture. This provides 88 Gigabits/second1 core, offering full wire speed performance with minimal latency on all ports simultaneously. The VXS24 has 22 ports of 1000BaseCX to the backplane in accordance with VITA 41.3, plus two ports of 100BaseFX, 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX or 10/100/1000 BaseTX to the front panel. Each of the 1 Gigabit ports may be configured to allow in‐band management. Out‐of‐band management of the switch is accessible via 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port and RS232 serial port, both available at the front panel. Optionally, a mezzanine capability allows for 10 Gigabit uplink expansion, transitioning from XAUI on the switch packet processor to the appropriate 10G standard at the front panel. The VXS24 has comprehensive management capabilities based on FASTPATH software. These include VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree, IPv4, IPv6, IGMP, traffic policing, Quality of Service (QoS), guaranteed bandwidth and SNMP. Configuration of the switch is via an intuitive web interface, command line interface or SNMP. Figure 1-1 Photograph

1.3 Manual Conventions
All numbers are expressed in decimal, except addresses and memory or register data, which are expressed in hexadecimal. Where confusion may occur, decimal numbers have a “D” subscript and binary numbers have a “b” subscript. The prefix “0x” shows a hexadecimal number, following the ‘C’ programming language convention. Thus: One dozen = 12D = 0x0C = 1100b The multipliers “k”, “M” and “G” have their conventional scientific and engineering meanings of *103, *106 and *109 respectively. The only exception to this is in the description of the size of memory areas, when “K”, “M” and “G” mean *210, *220 and *230 respectively. NOTE
When describing transfer rates, “k”, “M” and “G” mean *103, *106 and *109 not *210, *220 and *230.
Multiple bit fields are numbered from 0 to n, where 0 is the LSB and n is the MSB. Signal names ending with a asterisk (*) denote active low signals; all other signals are active high. Filenames are shown in bold, e.g. apps/code.exe. When showing user interaction on a terminal, messages from the system are shown in courier typeface, i.e. messages, and user input is shown in bold courier typeface, i.e. user input. The symbol “↵” is used to represent the ‘↵’, ‘enter’, ‘return’ etc. key on the keyboard. This manual uses the following types of notice: NOTE
Notes call attention to important features or instructions.
WARNING
Warnings alert you to the risk of severe personal injury.
CAUTION
Cautions alert you to system danger or loss of data.
TIP
Tips give guidance on procedures that may be tackled in a number of ways.

3 • Configuration
3.1 Link Configuration
The board has push‐on jumpers included in the standard kit of parts; additional jumpers may be obtained on request. These are suitable for level 1 to 3 low vibration applications. TIP
For Level 4 and 5 products, make links by wire-wrapping between the pin posts and then cover these
wire wrapped links with the same conformal coating as that used on the board. This will provide a
reliable connection under heavy shock and vibration conditions and further prevent oxidation of the
connection due to moisture ingress.

4 • Installation and Power Up
Review the Safety Notices section before installing the VXS24. The following notices also apply: CAUTION
Consult the enclosure documentation to ensure that the VXS24’s power requirements are compatible
with those supplied by the backplane.
The VXS24 requires up to TBA A from a 5 V power supply (+5 V +5 % ‐2.5 %). 4.1 Board Keying
The VXS Standard (41.0) requires all backplane slots to have guide pins. As well as providing correct alignment, these pins are keyed to prevent cards being inserted into incorrect backplane slot(s) to avoid electrical incompatibility. The VXS24 has receptacles for these guide pins: one above the J5 connector and one below the J2 connector. As the VXS24 is a switch, these are keyed as A1, K1 with an angle of 0 degrees for the receptacle below J2 and A2, K2 with an angle of 0 degrees for the receptacle above J5. See the VXS Standard (41.0) for more details on the guide pins and receptacles. 4.2 Board Installation Notes
1. Keying dictates the backplane slot(s) into which the VXS24 can be inserted. 2. Air‐cooled versions have an injector/ejector handle to ensure that the backplane connectors mate properly with the backplane. The captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel allow the board to be tightly secured in position, which provides continuity with the chassis ground of the system. 3. Conduction‐cooled versions have screw‐driven wedgelocks at the top and bottom of the board to provide the necessary mechanical/thermal interface. Correct adjustment requires a calibrated torque wrench with a hexagonal head of size 3/32” (2.38 mm), set to between 0.6 and 0.8 Nm. 18 VXS24 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF
4.3 Connecting to VXS24
Apart from providing switch ports, the VXS24 also has two COM ports for direct switch access, and an out‐of‐band Ethernet service port. 4.3.1
Serial Connection to a Terminal/HyperTerminal (COM1/2)
The VXS24 has two EIA232 COM ports. Both are configured as DTE and routed to the P25 connector. The ports are used for the following purposes: COM1 Management Software Command Line interface and BIT interface COM2 BIT fail interface (not required during normal operation) The ports are configured to 9600 baud, 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit and no parity, which should be reflected in the terminal/terminal emulation software, together with VT100 mode and flow control off. Since the COM ports are Tx/Rx only, any handshaking options should also be turned off. 4.3.2
Out-of-band Ethernet Service Port (MNG)
This Fast Ethernet (full/half duplex 10/100BaseT) interface is wired for MDI connection and so will connect to a switch (MDIX) using a straight through cable. If direct connection to PC is required, then a standard Ethernet cross‐over patch cable is required. The MNG port provides an out‐of‐band connection to the management software’s Web interface or telnet interface. This service port can be configured as a web interface, or used to perform software upgrades or remote terminal access using the telnet port (see RFC 854 to 859). Configuration of the service port is described in section 5. This port is routed to the P11 connector. 4.3.3
Copper Switched Ethernet Ports
The VXS24 provides 22 ports of 1000BaseCX to the backplane (18 payload ports and four switch ports). These ports are configured as SERDES, and so only perform In‐
Band Auto‐negotiation. The cross‐over takes place on the backplane as described by VXS 41.3. Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF
Installation and Power Up 19
4.3.4
Optional Switched Ethernet Ports
The VXS24 also provides two gigabit Ethernet ports via the front panel. Using appropriate SFP modules, these can provide the following interfaces: •
1000BaseSX •
1000BaseLX •
10/100/1000BaseT •
100BaseFX See the Product Code Information section for these options. 4.3.5
10G Ports
The VXS24 has two 10 Gigabit XAUI ports routed to the XMC connector. The XMCXGO card is designed to plug onto this site. See the XMCXGO datasheet for more details. 4.3.6
System Set-up
To interact with on‐board firmware requires the VXS24 to have, as a minimum, a control terminal or HyperTerminal connection present on the serial COM1 port and an Ethernet connection on the out‐of‐band Ethernet management port. The following cables are also required: •
A 9‐way micro‐D to 2 standard 9‐way D types data cable, C‐CBL000118‐001, is shipped with each board to connect COM1 and COM2 to terminals •
For management/control Ethernet, an RJ‐45 to RJ‐45 straight‐through patch cable for 10/100BaseT, to connect the Service Port to the host system via the Ethernet network Figure 4‐1 shows how to connect the relevant parts for ease of getting started as described in section 5: 20 VXS24 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF

5 • Operational Description
This section initially assumes that the system has been set up as described in section 4 for a quick start, with the out‐of band service port connected to Ethernet and COM1 connected to a serial terminal or HyperTerminal. 5.1 BIT
As part of the boot sequence, the VXS24 runs through a series of on‐board tests. During this, the BIT LEDs (see the LEDs section) are lit, and the terminal or HyperTerminal on the COM1 serial port should display the initialization progress similar to that shown below: Radstone Embedded Computing, Part of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms

(GE Fanuc VXS24 Routing) #
In the above, “192.168.164.201” is the unique IP address for the service port, “255.255.255.0” is the subnet mask for this IP address (a typical subnet mask), and “192.168.164.1” is the Gateway between the board and the host PC. Your settings should be substituted. Now save these settings as follows: (GE Fanuc VXS24 Routing) #copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config↵
This operation may take a few minutes.
Management interfaces will not be available during this time.
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y

Web versus Command Line Interface
The VXS24 switch capabilities can be configured via either the command line on COM1 or the web interface. The Management Interface user guide details the available set of commands that can be entered on the command line. LINK
Switch Management Interface User Guide, publication number RT5220.
The web interface has equivalent functions to those in the command line interface (i.e. there are usually similar menus to accomplish a task), with the added benefit of being more user friendly. For instance, to display the service port parameters, on the command line: (GE Fanuc VXS24 Routing) >show serviceport↵

00:80:8E:11:22:FF
On the web interface, the equivalent operation is as shown in Figure 5‐4. Figure 5-4 Web Interface Service Port Configuration
However, there are several differences between the web and terminal interfaces. For example, on the web interface the entire forwarding database can be displayed, whereas the terminal interface only displays 10 entries starting at a specified address. Also, the terminal interface can be used to send batch commands from a text file, which is not possible with the web interface. 28 VXS24 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Inband Network Port Configuration
‘Inband’ here means one of the switch ports. As the 22 ports of 1000BaseCX are only available via the backplane, the following example uses the front panel ports, which are also required to be fitted with RJ45 SFF modules. First, some physical reconfiguration is required, as shown below: Figure 5-6 Inband Network Port Configuration
1. Connect another Ethernet subnet to one of the front panel ports. NOTE
The service port and network port must be on different subnets.
2. You can optionally move your host PC connection from the service port to one of the front panel ports, then connect the service port into the other front panel port. This connects your host PC to the service port via the VXS24, to simulate using the board to switch traffic. Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF

This should display the web interface login page. Login as for the service port. The web interface page should then be displayed, as shown in Figure 5‐8. Figure 5-8 Web Interface (Network Port)
Notice how the LEDs on the front panel (and the representation of it above) are lit to show which ports are in use (only port 11 in this case – the option to connect the PC to the service port via the VXS24 has not been used). CAUTION
Do not change the physical connection of the network port being displayed, otherwise the Java
interface will lock up.
If you have connected the service port on a front panel port, you should still be able to access its web interface. Again notice how the LEDs on the front panel (and the representation of it) are lit to show which ports are in use. The inband network port can now be used to control the VXS24, and gives access to the advanced features, as described overleaf. Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF

5.3 Advanced Features
The VXS24 supports several advanced management features that allow the user to control the data flows through the switch, to maximize the performance of the network. This section gives an overview of these functions and concentrates on what they do (rather than what the commands are). CAUTION
When using the advanced features, it is important to have a clear idea of what you are trying to
achieve before you start configuring the switch, as some of the configurations are quite complex, and
if an error is made, it can be difficult to diagnose.
The advanced features covered in this section are: •
VLANs (Virtual LANs) •
Bandwidth Provisioning •
Spanning Tree •
Link Aggregation •
Access Control Lists •
IGMP (Intelligent Multicast Routing) 5.3.1
VLANs
The VXS24 supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard for VLANs. There is support for port‐ and protocol‐based VLANs. They are created either statically through the management interface or dynamically using GVRP (GARP VLAN Routing Protocol). The effect of a VLAN is to restrict the flow of data to member ports of that VLAN only. If a node in a particular VLAN transmits a broadcast frame, only devices in that VLAN receive the frame. This can prevent end stations being overloaded with broadcast traffic that is not destined for them. It also provides extra security, as nodes in a VLAN can only communicate with devices on the same VLAN. The VXS24 can also be set to block non‐VLAN packets on a port‐by‐port basis; which is a useful security feature. The VXS24 supports the following VLAN features: Port Based This is the simplest form of VLANs, where specific ports on the switch are hard VLANs coded to be members of different VLANs. A port can be a member of more than one VLAN at a time. Protocol Based Protocol based VLANs are an enhancement to Port based. You still can select the VLANs ports that are members of the VLAN, but the protocol of the packet is also checked when deciding whether the port should be a member. GVRP GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) allows switches and end stations to exchange VLAN membership information. This is enabled on the CPX24 by setting the ports to auto detect and enabling GVRP in the GARP Menu. This means that if a cable is plugged into the wrong port, then the VLAN is automatically reconfigured to take account of the change. In addition, the end stations have control over which VLANs they want to join dynamically. 36 VXS24 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Publication No. VXS24-0HH/1DF
5.3.2
Bandwidth Provisioning
Bandwidth Provisioning works with VLANs to provide a fully featured Quality of Service capability. Configuring Bandwidth Provisioning has the following stages: 1. Configure the VLANs (as described previously). 2. Configure the Bandwidth Profiles. These create different sizes of data pipe. 3. Create Traffic Classes for each port, which associates a VLAN with a Bandwidth profile and also gives it a priority (weight). This then guarantees a bandwidth to a particular VLAN. These bandwidth restrictions are only applied to a port when it is transmitting data (because the switch has no control over what it receives). Any data that comes in untagged is forwarded via the default VLAN. NOTE
It is important that a Traffic Class is generated for the default VLAN (VID =1) and that it is given a lower
weight than the other VLANs.
5.3.3
Spanning Tree
Spanning tree provides the following main benefits to a network: •
Redundant Link Failover (Self Healing) •
Network Loop protection On power up, the switch does not forward data packets, but instead transmits Spanning Tree packets to discover the network topology. This can be a lengthy process, but once it is done, any redundant links or Network loops are disabled. The switch then starts passing data. When an active link fails, the switch relearns the network and enables one or more of the redundant links to repair the network. The VXS24 supports three types of spanning tree. From a user perspective, their main difference is speed of leaning and failover. All switches in the network must be running the same type of Spanning Tree. For more information, see the IEEE802.1 standards. Table 5‐1 shows typical response times for the various types of Spanning Tree. Table 5-1 Spanning Tree Response Times

802.1s
802.1x

(Seconds)

Failover Time

The power‐on learning time depends on the complexity of the Network. Only ports that are connected to other Spanning Tree‐capable devices should have Spanning Tree enabled. Failure to do this significantly extends the learning time. NOTE
802.1d is not recommended for use in new systems due to its slow response time. It is included for
Legacy support.

Operational Description 37
5.3.4
Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation is a method of bonding more than one port together to provide higher capacity. It is a switch‐to‐switch feature, and the switches at each end of the link must be configured identically. There is an added bonus that if one of the links within the Link Aggregation Group (LAG) fails, the bandwidth of the LAG is just reduced. This means that the link is not lost and the recovery from the fault is quick. 5.3.5
Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists provide the ability to restrict the range of addresses (IP or MAC) that are accepted on a specific port. The first step is to create the Access Control Lists and associate them with specific ports. NOTE
There can only be one ACL per port.
Each ACL can contain up to 10 rules. Within an ACL, the rules are matched sequentially against a packet. When a packet meets the match criteria of a rule, the specified rule action (Permit/Deny) is taken and the additional rules are not checked for a match. TIP
Especially during development and debugging, make the last rule a Permit All or Deny All rule to catch
anything not covered elsewhere.
In addition, ACL can block/allow specific Diffserve field settings in IP traffic. NOTE
ACL Diffserve field checks are only valid for IP-based traffic. Non IP-based traffic will follow the default
port settings.
5.3.6
IGMP Snooping
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping allows the switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently. By monitoring the IGMP query and report messages (“snooping”), the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports, possibly affecting network performance. This feature can be enabled on a port‐by‐port basis. 5.3.7

6 • Functional Description
6.1 Introduction
The VXS24 is a fully managed, 24 Gigabit Ethernet port plus two 10 Gigabit port, switch. It provides 22 ports of 1000BaseCX to the VITA 41.3 backplane, plus two Gigabit Ethernet ports to the front panel that can be configured with as 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, 10/100/1000BaseTX or 100BaseFX. An optional mezzanine card provides the two 10 Gigabit ports. Using the management software, within a short time the VXS24 can be configured to guarantee bandwidth on a per port or VLAN basis. For increased Network ruggedness, trunking and redundant links are possible. With remote management, these switch settings can be configured on the fly using the web‐based management interface, providing you have switch administration privileges. The VXS24 provides simple migration, scalability, and flexibility to handle new applications and data types, making it a highly reliable and cost effective solution for high‐speed network connectivity.

BIT LEDs
When the VXS24 is powered‐up, the BIT LEDs (DS109 to DS112) are illuminated red by hardware, and remain lit until the embedded processor boots up and takes control of them. Once BIT has begun its preliminary tests, the COM1 serial port starts reporting the status of BIT. On finishing, if BIT fails, then the BIT LEDs remain lit red. However, if BIT passes, the BIT LEDs turn blue. For more details of BIT software functionality, see the PPCBIT user guide and the VXS24BIT manual. LINKS
VXS24BIT Manual, publication number VXS24BIT-0HL.
PPCBIT User Guide, publication number PPCBIT-0HU.
NOTE
During BIT, only the BIT LEDs are meaningful.
Once BIT completes successfully, DS109 to DS112 revert to showing PP9 to PP12 status.
