One of the typical Ethernet access
networking scenario is that the users access external network through the
Ethernet switches. In this case, the external network is connected to the
Ethernet switch. The Ethernet switch connects to the Hubs, each of which
centralizes several PCs. The following figure illustrates the networking
scenario.

Figure 1-1 Typical Ethernet access
networking scenario
If not-so-many users are connected to the
switch, the ports allocated to different enterprises need to belong to the same
VLAN in the light of cost. Every enterprise is allocated to the fixed IP address
range simultaneously. Only those IP addresses in the fixed IP address range can
be accessed to external networks from the port. Different organizations should
be isolated considering security. All these requirements can be achieved with
the access management function by the Ethernet switches, specifically, binding
a port with IP addresses and L2 isolation between ports. See Figure 1-1.
In the figure, organization 1 and
organization 2 belong to the same VLAN, which are connected to the external
networks via an Ethernet switch. The IP addresses 202.10.20.1 ~ 202.10.20.20
are allocated to organization 1, that is, they are bound to the port 1. On the
PCs with IP addresses in this range can be connected to external networks. The
IP addresses 202.10.20.21 ~ 202.10.20.50 are allocated to organization 2, or
bound to the port 2.
Isolation measure is required, because
otherwise the PCs in two organizations may interwork with each other. The L2
isolation function at the switch port can ensure two ports do not receive the
packets from the other port, so that only those PCs in the same organization
can communicate with each other.
Access management
configuration includes:
l
Enable access management function
l
Configure the access IP address pool based on
the physical port
l
Configure Layer 2 isolation between ports
l
Enable access management trap
You can use the following command to enable
access management function. Only after the access management function is
enabled globally will the access management features (IP and port binding) take
effect.

Required
By default, the system disables the

You can use the following command to set
the IP address pool for access management on a port. The packet whose source IP
address is in the specified pool is allowed to be forwarded on Layer 3 via the
port of the switch.

address pool based on the physical port
|
am ip-pool address-list
|
Required
By default, the
IP address pools for access control on the port are null and all the packets
are permitted through.
|
l
Before you configure the access management IP
address pool on a port, make sure you configure the IP address of the Layer 3
interface to which the port belongs and these two addresses must be on the same
network segment.
l
If the IP address pool to be configured contains
the IP addresses configured in the static ARP at other ports, then the system
prompts you to delete the static ARP to make the later binding effective.
Table 1-3 lists the operations to add an Ethernet port to an isolation group
to isolate Layer 2 data between each port in the isolation group. See the Port Isolation module
for the principles and detailed configurations of port isolation.

port isolate
|
Required
By default, an isolation group
contains no port
|
Note that:
1)
One unit only supports one isolation group. That
is, a port in an isolation group on a unit is isolated only from ports within
this group, while not isolated from ports in isolation groups on other units.
2)
The port isolation feature is synchronous on the
same unit within an aggregation group, see the following details:
l
When a port in an aggregation group is added in
or removed from an isolation group, then all the other ports of this
aggregation group on the same unit are automatically added in or removed from
this isolation group.
l
In the same aggregation group, the port isolation
feature on one unit is consistent.
l
A port is removed from an aggregation group with
its isolation feature not change.
l
If a port of an aggregation group is isolated on
unit 1, then you can achieve the port-to-port isolation between this
aggregation group and all the ports of the isolation group on unit 1.
l
If all the ports on unit 1 of this aggregation
group are removed from this aggregation group, then the isolation feature of
this aggregation group is disabled, that is, the port-to-port isolation mentioned
above is unavailable.

Access Management Trap

access management trap.

I. Networking requirements
Organization 1 is connected to the port 1
of the switch, and organization 2 to the port 2. The ports 1 and 2 belong to the
same VLAN. The IP addresses ranging 202.10.20.1~202.10.20.20 can be accessed
from the port 1 and those ranging 202.10.20.21~202.10.20.50 from the port 2.
Organization 1 and organization 2 cannot communicate with each other.
