Manual:CRS1xx/2xx series switches

Applies to RouterOS: v6.12 +

Summary

The Cloud Router Switch series are highly integrated switches with high performance MIPS CPU and feature-rich packet processor. The CRS switches can be designed into various Ethernet applications including unmanaged switch, Layer 2 managed switch, carrier switch and wireless/wired unified packet processing.

Abbreviations and Explanations

CVID - Customer VLAN id: inner VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame

SVID - Service VLAN id: outer VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame

IVL - Independent VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on both MAC addresses and VLAN IDs.

SVL - Shared VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on MAC addresses - not on VLAN IDs.

TPID - Tag Protocol Identifier

PCP - Priority Code Point: a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority

DEI - Drop Eligible Indicator

DSCP - Differentiated services Code Point

Drop precedence - internal CRS switch QoS attribute used for packet enqueuing or dropping.

Port Switching

Similarly to other RouterBoards, port switching on CRS allows wire-speed traffic forwarding among a group of ports, like the ports were a regular Ethernet switch. This feature is configurable by setting a "master-port" property to one or more ports in /interface ethernet menu. The "master-port" will be the port through which the RouterOS will communicate to all ports in the group. Interfaces which have the "master-port" specified become isolated - no traffic can be received and no traffic can be sent out directly from RouterOS.

Here is a general diagram of RouterBoard with a five port switch chip:

A packet that is received by one of the ports always passes through the switch logic first. Switch logic decides to which ports the packet should be going to. Passing packet "up" or giving it to RouterOS is also called sending it to switch chip's “CPU” port. It means at that point switch forwards the packet to CPU port the packet starts to get processed by RouterOS as incoming packet of the “master-port”. If the packet does not have to go to “CPU” port, it is handled entirely by switch logic, does not require any CPU resources and happen at wire-speed.

Additionally, CRS series switches support multiple “master-port” configurations and have no port selection limitations for a port group which makes possible many various switched port combinations with all CRS switch interfaces.

For example, consider a CRS125 switch with 24 Ethernet interfaces and 1 SFP interface:

And there are configured 3 switch groups: 1) ether2, ether3, ether4, ether5, ether6; 2) ether13, ether14, ether15, ether16, ether17, ether18, ether19, ether20; 3) ether21, ether22, ether23, ether24, sfp1.

Ports ether1, ether7-ether12 are not switched in this example, they remain as independent router ports.

Now ether2 is the “master-port” of the group 1, ether13 – of the group 2 and ether21 – of the group 3.

Note: Previously a link was detected only on interfaces with a physical connection, but now since the ether2, ether13 and ether21 have connection to CPU, the running flag is propagated to them, as well.

1:1 VLAN Switching

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch one2one-vlan-switching

1:1 VLAN switching can be used to replace the regular L2 bridging for matched packets. When a packet hits an 1:1 VLAN switching table entry, the destination port information in the entry is assigned to the packet. The matched destination information in UFDB and MFDB entry no longer applies to the packet.

Egress VLAN Tag

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch egress-vlan-tag

• Untagged
• Tagged
• Unmodified

The Egress VLAN Tag table includes 4096 entries for VLAN tagging selection.

Property	Description
disabled (yes | no; Default: no)	Enables or disables Egress VLAN Tag table entry.

Port Isolation/Leakage

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch port-isolation

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch port-leakage

The CRS switches support flexible multi-level isolation features, which can be used for user access control, traffic engineering and advanced security and network management. The isolation features provide an organized fabric structure allowing user to easily program and control the access by port, MAC address, VLAN, protocol, flow and frame type. The following isolation and leakage features are supported:

• Port-level isolation
• MAC-level isolation
• VLAN-level isolation
• Protocol-level isolation
• Flow-level isolation
• Free combination of the above

Port-level isolation supports different control schemes on source port and destination port. Each entry can be programmed with access control for either source port or destination port.

• When the entry is programmed with source port access control, the entry is

applied to the ingress packets.

• When the entry is programmed with destination port access control, the entry

is applied to the egress packets.

Port leakage allows bypassing egress VLAN filtering on the port. Leaky port is allowed to access other ports for various applications such as security, network control and management. Note: When both isolation and leakage is applied to the same port, the port is isolated.

Property	Description
disabled (yes | no; Default: no)	Enables or disables port isolation/leakage entry.

Shaper

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet switch shaper

Traffic shaping restricts the rate and burst size of the flow which is transmitted out from the interface. The shaper is implemented by a token bucket. If the packet exceeds the maximum rate or the burst size, which means no enough token for the packet, the packet is stored to buffer until there is enough token to transmit it.
