“Potential causes of crosslink errors” on page 134
10.1.1 FTE diagnostic messages
FTE sends diagnostic messages on each of the FTE interface ports. One part of the
diagnostic message designates the interface port for the message. That is, whether the
message is transmitted on the Yellow tree or on the Green tree. FTE uses the MAC
address to define which interface is Yellow and which interface is Green. The interface
port connection that has lower MAC address is defined as Yellow and the interface port
connection that has higher MAC address is defined as Green. This binding order must
remain consistent to maintain the correct interface port designation for the messages.
10.1.2 Definition of crosslink error
Both types of diagnostic messages (yellow and green) are transmitted on both FTE trees
when the network has a switch crossover cable connected. However, when the trees are
isolated from one another, the diagnostic messages must also be isolated. Only messages
designated as Yellow must be seen on the Yellow tree and only messages designated as
Green must be seen on the Green tree. A crosslink error occurs when, even after the
crossover cable is removed and the trees are isolated, Yellow diagnostic messages are
seen on the Green tree or green diagnostic messages are seen on the Yellow tree.
10.1.3 Potential causes of crosslink errors
The following table lists some of the causes for crosslink errors and gives examples how
they occur.
10 TROUBLESHOOTING NETWORK ISSUES
Cause Examples
Cables are crossed at the
node or at the switches
• Cable with the Yellow boot is connected to the switch in the
Yellow tree, but it is connected to the second port.
• Cable with the Green boot is connected to the switch in the
Green tree, but it is connected to first port.
• Connection for first port (cable with Yellow boot) is connected
to the switch in the Green tree.
• Connection for second port (cable with the Green boot) is
connected to the switch in the Yellow tree.
Both FTE cables are
connected to the same tree
Cable with the Yellow boot and cable with the Green boot are
connected to the same switch.
Binding order is “reversed” • Cable with the Yellow boot is connected to the first port and to
the Switch in the Yellow Tree, but the connection for the first
port has higher MAC address.
• Cable with the Green boot is connected to the second port and
to the Switch in the Green tree, but the connection for the
second port has lower MAC.address
FTE network topology does
not follow configuration
rules
Any condition that creates network path loops, such as any of the
following:
• FTE network has more than one crossover cable
• Multiple connections to an external network
• Switches are not in a tree hierarchy
Several servers have
multiple (4) NIC
connections
Verify which cables are inserted

10.2 Intermittent or blocked communication to

controllers
on a different subnet
When Controllers are addressed in a different subnet than the server/console, the level 2
nodes rely on addroute and ARP to establish TCP connections with controllers. If proxy
ARP is enabled on the router, the router responds with its own MAC address when the
level 2 nodes ARP for the controller MAC addresses, preventing or breaking TCP
communication. Hence, all router connections to an FTE network must have the no ip
proxy arp command.
10.3 Mismatch of FTE multicast address and

destination
port
An FTE node does not show up in the FTE node list or FTE status display as expected.

11.1 Cisco switch and router examples

Cisco 2960 Configuration Example
The following configuration file is an example of 4u_410_2960_24.text which will
configure.
• 4 uplinks (downlinks)
• 4 FTEB ports configured
• 40 100 Megabit or GBIC ports
11 SWITCH AND ROUTER CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
11.2 Cisco router configuration statements

To configure the FTE community filtering requirements in Cisco routers, specific
configuration commands are used, examples of which are provided in this section.

“Cisco 3560, 2960, IE3000 access list for protecting Safety Manager or third-party
safety controllers” on page 142
11.2.1 Access control lists
Cisco uses an Access Control List (ACL) to describe what must pass and what must not
pass through an interface. Following is an example of a set of ACLs used to provide the
filtering.
access-list 101 permit tcp 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 any established
Established connections are allowed in the whole FTE community subnet
The range of addresses in this FTE community is 10.0.0.2-255
access-list 101 permit udp host 225.7.4.103 any
access-list 101 permit udp any host 225.7.4.103
The DSA multicast address, 225,7.4.103 is allowed to pass in both directions
access-list 101 permit ip 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.240 any
access-list 101 permit ip any 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.240
The server range is 10.0.0.2-15
access-list 101 permit udp any any eq domain
Access to a domain controller TCP port is allowed.
access-list 101 permit udp any any eq 88
Access to a Kerberos server is allowed
access-list 101 permit udp any any eq 389
Access to a LDAP server is allowed
There is an assumed “deny all” at the end of the list. This means that any other address
range is denied access.
These access lists are attached to the VLAN the FTE community is connected with as
shown in the following example:
141
interface Vlan101 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
VLAN 101 is the FTE community VLAN. The FTE default gateway address is 10.0.0.1. The
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 will allow traffic in this range to pass to the ACL filters
ip access-group 101 out
Access-group 101 uses the ACLs described above in access-list 101
no ip proxy-arp
Proxy arp must be disallowed to enable hiding the L1 addresses from L3
ip pim dense-mode
PIM dense-mode is needed for the DSA multicasts to be routed.
The following is an example router interface configuration for the interface where the FTE
community is connected.
interface FastEthernet2/3
This example has a connection to a 4006 interface in slot 2, third fast Ethernet port.
switchport access vlan 101
switchport mode access
The switchport (this interface) is set to be access to a VLAN and the VLAN is set to 101.
The above ACLs were attached to VLAN 101
duplex full
speed 100
The speed and duplex if the interface is fixed to avoid problems with autosensing.
11.2.2 Cisco 3560, 2960, IE3000 access list for protecting Safety Manager or
thirdparty
safety controllers
A level of protection is required for embedded nodes such as Safety Manager by limiting
the nodes allowed onto the Safety Ethernet network to the servers that access the nodes.
In this example, the servers have addresses 10.1.4.10 and 10.1.4.11. The protection
consists of an access list to define the allowed addresses and an access group attached to
the crosslink interface of the split switch on the L1 half. The configuration file contains
the following:
• Access-list 130 permit ip 10.1.4.10 0.0.0.0 any
• Access-list 130 permit ip 10.1.4.11 0.0.0.0 any
• The standard configuration for the split switch file can be modified to substitute the
above for the access-list 130 in the file before downloading to the switch
• Hence, for a split switch the L1 uplink interface is Fast Ethernet 0/13 so the
configuration file contains the following:
– interface FastEthernet0/13
– switchport access vlan 1
– switchport mode access
– no ip address
– duplex full
– speed 100
– ip access-group 130 in
The multicast and broadcast storm control on this interface are not needed due to the
strict filtering, only allowing server traffic through.

11.3 Subnet mask derivation

For connected networks, three subnet masks must be derived from the number of
supported nodes. Some number of least significant bits of the netmask must be set to
zero to cover the number of nodes on the subnet (from each node’s point of view).
L2-L3 router port netmask example
• Two server FTE nodes = 4 IP Addresses
• Gateway (router port) = 1 IP Address
• 4 + 1 rounded up to power of 2 = 8, or 0xFFFFFFF8 (255.255.255.248)
L2 node netmask example
• Sixteen non-server FTE nodes = 32 IP Addresses
• 4 + 1 + 32 rounded up to power of 2 = 64 or 0xFFFFFFC0 (255.255.255.192)
Route add mask example
• Number of embedded FTE nodes * 2 rounded up to power of 2
• Max FTE nodes is 511 = 1024 or 0xFFFFFC00 (255.255.252.0)
• L1 Node Netmask
• Must ignore all unique L2 and L1 address bits = 0xFF000000 = 255.0.0.0
