trap: deliver reserved multicast to the CPU by trap, STP first
A reserved-multicast trap goes to the port named in EXT_CPU_CTRL, which names no port out of reset, so trapped frames were dropped at ingress. trap_init() points it at the CPU port once at startup, and trap_rma_set() changes only the action field of an RMA register. A trapped frame arrives without the VLAN tag a forwarded one gets, so TRAP_RX_BODY() gives the offset of the payload for both forms. STP now traps its address while it runs instead of steering it with a static L2 entry per VLAN, so turning it on no longer walks the VLAN table and a pvid change no longer needs stp off and on. With STP off the flooding entries are restored as before. A trapped BPDU passes the tagged-only ingress filter that drops a forwarded one, so the stp_setup() warning about such ports goes.

|
||||
ASIC's Reserved-Multicast action for that address decides what happens to the
|
||||
frame.
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarding to the CPU port works normally: the 8051 sits behind an ordinary
|
||||
port of the internal switch and is an ordinary member of a forwarding mask.
|
||||
The *trap* action does not deliver to it. Its destination is an external CPU
|
||||
attached to a physical port (`cpuTag_externalCpuPort_set`, `EXT_CPU_CTRL` in
|
||||
the vendor SDK), which these boards do not populate. The ACL trap and
|
||||
redirect actions do not deliver to the 8051 either.
|
||||
While STP runs, the action is *trap*. A trap delivers to the port named in
|
||||
`EXT_CPU_CTRL` (0x6724), whose reset value 0xf names no port, and with that
|
||||
value the trapped frame is dropped at ingress. `trap_init()` sets it to 9, the
|
||||
port the 8051 sits behind, once at startup. The trap needs no per-VLAN L2
|
||||
entries, so it does not depend on which VLANs exist or on the PVIDs, and turning
|
||||
STP on no longer walks the whole VLAN table. BPDUs reach the CPU on a port that
|
||||
STP holds in blocking with either action: measured on a SWTGW218AS by sending
|
||||
BPDUs into a blocked port with forward and with trap, both ports stopped being
|
||||
edge and waited out the forward delay. The chip exempts this address from the
|
||||
ingress state check; the slow-protocols address used by LACP is not exempt.
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery therefore uses the *forward* action, constrained to the CPU port
|
||||
by a static L2 multicast entry (`port_l2mc_set()`), one per VLAN in use:
|
||||
A trapped frame reaches the CPU in the format it came in with: unlike a
|
||||
forwarded one it has no VLAN tag inserted after the RTL tag, and the RTL tag
|
||||
carries the trap reason. `stp_in()` reads the BPDU from the offset
|
||||
`TRAP_RX_BODY()` returns, which works for both.
|
||||
|
||||
* while STP runs, the entry's member mask is the CPU port only — BPDUs reach
|
||||
the CPU and are not flooded to other ports, as a participating bridge
|
||||
requires;
|
||||
* with STP off, the same entries are retargeted to all ports, restoring the
|
||||
transparency an unmanaged switch is expected to have, so a surrounding
|
||||
spanning tree can span *through* this device.
|
||||
With STP off, the action goes back to *forward* and a static L2 multicast
|
||||
entry per VLAN in use (`port_l2mc_set()`) targets all ports, restoring the
|
||||
transparency an unmanaged switch is expected to have, so a surrounding
|
||||
spanning tree can span *through* this device.
|
||||
|
||||
A BPDU delivered this way is an ordinary frame to the port's ingress logic
|
||||
and passes through its acceptable-frame-type filter. BPDUs are untagged, so a
|
||||
port set to admit tagged frames only (`ingress <port>t`) never delivers one
|
||||
to the CPU. `stp_setup()` prints a warning for every STP-enabled port in that
|
||||
state.
|
||||
The port's acceptable-frame-type filter treats the two actions differently.
|
||||
BPDUs are untagged, so a port set to admit tagged frames only
|
||||
(`ingress <port>t`) drops a forwarded BPDU before it reaches the CPU, while a
|
||||
trapped one passes. Both were measured on a SWTGW218AS with `ingress 3t`:
|
||||
LACPDUs, delivered by forward, stopped arriving on port 3, and BPDUs sent into
|
||||
the same port, delivered by trap, kept arriving. A port that admits tagged
|
||||
frames only therefore takes part in STP.
