(*)The ADR155C proposes single fiber STM1 interfaces which allow to use only one
single-mode fiber between two STM1 access points.
Contrary to other STM1 interfaces, the optical modules at the two ends of fiber are different :
one (S1.1-Bidi or L1.1 Bidi) emits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, conversely the other
(S1.2-Bidi or L1.2 Bid) emits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm.
For the installation, it is advisable to take care well of this concept of couple of SFP modules in
order to prevent that two modules of comparable nature are in opposite. Nevertheless, if that
intervenes, that does not damage SFP modules and a signal missing is detected at the two
ends of fiber. A remote checking of the inventories of modules allows to detect the problem.

Likewise, in order to ensure a good behavior during the changeover from one module to the
other, the operator should take care to keep identical configurations on both Optical cards ; in
case of modification, automatic recopy is done and a warning message appears.
Only the connections are not identical. There must be no connections on the "Protection"
module, as in all the connections are made to the "Working" module.
More over, the management links (PPP over DCC) must be created on the « Working » module
and not on the « Protect » module.
This cord is gotten by linkage of two Sub-D / RJ45 adapters cords on one "Y" cord.

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
1.5 - COMMISSIONING
The equipment can be commissioned and operated from a PC fitted with VT100 emulation and
GUI Web browser.
A local terminal with VT100 emulation is indispensable during the first commissioning, in order
to be able to access the equipment via the management function ; however, this terminal only
enables the communication function to be parameterized (definition of the equipment IP
address).
• Pentium 4 or equivalent
• OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista
• RAM: 512 Mbytes (2 Gbytes for Vista)
• RS232 serial interface or USB interface with USB/RS232 converter cable (straight
cable SUB-D9pts Male / Female)
• Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX network card (RJ45 crossed Ethernet cable)
• SVGA screen, minimum resolution 1024x768
• Windows hyperterminal
• Web Browser : Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x / 3.x.
Use of other browsers or older versions of Internet Explorer is forbidden.
1.5.2 - Procedure
) On the first commissioning, the equipment scans its constitution and considers it as the
expected configuration, in service, monitored. It is thus advisable to insert the traffic cards
before power-up, in order to speed up the commissioning.
) Switch on the power supply connected to the equipment.
) The equipment conducts self-tests :
When self-tests have run correctly, the "ON" indicator is lit,
In the opposite case, an indicator flashing code defines the faulty self-test (contact the
Hotline).
) Configure the IP address and the Ethernet port for the equipment using the VT100 (see
§ 1.5.3 -).
) Using the GUI Web browser, (see § 1.5.4 -).
Update the equipment time and date
Configure the remote management ports using the Web browser

OPERATION
The transparency functionality of the DCC flows (D1-D3, D4-D12) allows to transport, in an
ADR network, the management flows in transparency of another operator by using the DCCr
(D1-D3).
The DCCm of ADR155C are compatible with those of ADR155C but are not compatible with
those of ADR2500 eXtra ; their rates are different.
The transparency of the DCC is independent of the protection mechanisms. The operator must
use a mechanism of routage to protect its path of DCC.
The transparency of the DCCr and DCCm is only configurable by GUI and is always bi-
directional
The system of transparency does not go up alarm or information on the state of the
transported flow.
Configuration constraints
When configuring the name (Equipment > Name menu), you are limited to using upper and
lower case characters, numbers, the space and the – and _ characters.
Accented characters and certain special characters will not be displayed on the VT100
interface.
Configuration parameters
NOTE :
1) The functional blocks naming, configuration parameters and their default value, noted

OPERATION
Synchronization
Synchronization of the local and remote equipment is managed in accordance with the available
synchronization sources, their quality and the priority assigned to each.
The possible synchronization sources include :
standalone operation (holdover* or local oscillator mode),
T1 extracted from one of the incoming STM-n streams (1 to 4 possibilities according to the
number of Optical cards present in the equipment),
T2 : one 2 Mbit/s G.703 source per declared 2 Mbit/s module, and selected from the various
2 Mbit/s G.703 accesses
T3_1 and T3_2 : two external 2 MHz or 2 Mbit/s G.703 sources
Until 60s can be necessary after a source selection to validate the holdover mode.
Holdover mode is available when an holdover card is inserted in extension slot. If there is no
card or if it is defective then standalone operation is assume only by local oscillator
NOTE : On creation of an MSP protection, the « Protection » link inherits the configurations of
the « Working » link and therefore, in particular,those of synchronization.
The Synchronization screen summarizes the status of the timing obtained from the
traffic link under the « Working » interface reference.
The equipment also offers two identical outputs 2 MHz G.703 T4 allowing to synchronize other
equipment ; these outputs can be :
non activated
forced on T0 synchronization of the equipment
synchronized on one of sources T1 extracted from STM-1 or STM-4 incoming trains.

OPERATION
Loops Management
On remote sites, two local outgoing loops (Local user outputs A and B) are activated on the
appearance of a local equipment alarm or remote indication loops 3 and 4 (Local user input #3
or #4).
The remote loopback function allows an equipment named "central site", to register faults
present on remote sites.
This function requires each site to transmit to the central site an alarm presence message. This
messages which corresponds to remote monitoring loopback 1 or 2 (Local user input #1 or #2)
is transmitted in the S1 byte. To link this message to equipment's alarms, the outputs of the A
and B loops (Local user outputs A and B) should be connected to remote monitoring loops 1
and 2 (Local user input #1 or #2) respectively.
Data chaining in a bus or ring type network architecture is provided by "OR" function validation
between the data received (Far user inputs #1 and #2) via S1 STM-n West and S1 STM-n East,
and local data, for each site in the network.
At the "central site" equipment, "OR" function validation between the data received (Far user
inputs #1 and #2) via S1 STM-n West and S1 STM-n East, and local data (Local user input #1
or #2 and local alarm), enables local alarm loopbacks to be activated (Local user outputs A and
B).
To configure the remote loopback function, the following parameters should be programmed :
"Line remote loopback" and " central site". The Figure 2-4 gives an example of remote
management of the local outgoing loops according to the equipment connections.
NOTE 1 : When Local User #1 and #2 gather major / critical and minor alarm informations (local
user outputs A and B) it is necessary to give them a "warning" severity in order to
avoid permanently activation.
NOTE 2 : Status of incoming loops (Local user inputs #1 to #4), far incoming loops (Far user
inputs #1 to #2) and outgoing loops (Local user outputs A and B) may be displayed on
Web browser.

GFP150 CARD
5. GFP150 CARD
All the services mentioned in this document can be performed between the GFP150 cards from ADR155C but
also between these cards and the DATA cards from ADR range, with equivalent services and granularities.
Only one GFP150 can be installed in an ADR155C shelf either in the A slot or in the C slot ; the presence of
FAN module is mandatory.
This chapter has for objective to guide the user for the commissioning of the GFP150 card in the ADR155C. It
gives simple examples which should be easily adapted to the needs.
The EPLine service (Ethernet Private Line) allows Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX point to point
interconnection through a SDH network by using, for each connection, a VCG (VC-Group) based on virtual
concatenation (VCAT). It is possible to obtain up to 8 independent point to point connections per GFP150
card. Rate granularity for each VCG is based either on VC12, or on VC3. With each VCG, it is possible to
concatenate from 1 to 46 VC12 or from 1 to 2 VC3. The sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the
whole of the 8 ETH ports, cannot be above the STM1 payload (about 150Mbit/s).
The EVPLine service (Ethernet Virtual Private Line) allows several Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX point to
point interconnection through a SDH network by using over shared VCG (VC-Group) based on virtual
concatenation (VCAT). These VMAN are separated by Tag VMAN, that adds a level of VLAN in relation to
the possible VLANs of Customers. It is possible to put until 16 shared traffic (VMAN) on a VCG. In the
GFP150 card we can have 64 (63 if the MSTP protection is used) different VMAN maximum.
The rate granularity for each VCG is the same as EPLine.
The EPLAN service (Ethernet Private LAN) allows Ethernet 10BaseT/100 BaseTX multipoint to multipoint
interconnection through a SDH network by using, for each connection between two points of the network, a
VCG (VC-Group) based on virtual concatenation (VCAT). It is possible to obtain up to 8 independent
connections per GFP150 card. Rate granularity for each VCG is based either on VC12, or on VC3. With
each VCG, it is possible to concatenate from 1 to 46 VC12 or from 1 to 2 VC3. The sum of the concatenated
Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 8 ETH ports, cannot be above the STM1 payload (about 150Mbit/s). In
this case, each GFP150 card includes a switch allowing Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX multipoint to
multipoint interconnection.

GFP150 CARD
The EVPLAN service (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN) allows several Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX multipoint
to multipoint interconnection through a SDH network by using over shared VCG (VC-Group) based on
virtual concatenation (VCAT).
It is possible to configure 4 VMANs by TC1 class of traffic and 12 VMANs by TC0 class of traffic
(2 classes of traffic are available on the GFP150 card).It is therefore possible to put until 16 shared traffic
(VMAN) on a VCG. In the GFP150 card we can have 64 (63 if the MSTP protection is used) different VMAN
maximum.
In this case, each GFP150 card includes a switch function allowing Ethernet 10BaseT/100 BaseTX
multipoint to multipoint interconnection
• multilink application (Star) : LAN interconnection between a central site and remote sites
• multipoint to multipoint application : to share a LAN between several sites in a BUS topology
The use of the GFP protocol and the advanced Switch features allows to offer Quality of Services features
(QoS). The QoS in GFP150 card is based on a traffic differentiation : metering, congestion control and
scheduling.

Click on the "ETH" block then on the “Interface Settings” link. By default the Ethernet interface is forced in
100BaseTX full duplex. We choose to keep the default configuration for this example.
Note : The Ethernet interface of the remote equipment (switch, IP router, PC, …) connected to the GFP150
card MUST always be configured the same way. Due to possible interoperability issues with Auto-
Negotiation between equipments from different origins, this feature (“Automatic” option) should
preferably not be used.
This screen is also used to set the alarms severity associated to the interface defects.
Logical Interface
Select the UNI mode (User to Network Interface) : this type of interface corresponds to an interface customer
with one service per port. On these interfaces the provider OAM and BPDU MSTP management frames are
filtered : they are not sent to the customer network.
The NNI untagged choice (Network to Network Interface) corresponds to a provider interface without provider
VMAN tag (no VLAN sharing).
The NNI tagged choice (Network to Network Interface) corresponds to a provider interface on which a
provider VMAN tag is inserted in the outcoming frames and a provider VMAN tag is treated in the incoming
frames.

The Link Down Retransmit function can only be used in point to point mode on a VMAN constituted of one ETH
port and one VCG port in each equipment.
Tick "Enable" allows to report the state of the Ethernet Down or VCG Down link on the remote Ethernet link.
Pause Mode
The Pause function (IEEE 802.3 Flow control) can only be used in point to point mode/full duplex on a VMAN
constituted of one UNI ETH port and one NNI untagged VCG port (or of two UNI and NNI untagged ETH ports).
- At reception of a pause frame on the ETH port, the transmission of Ethernet frames on the ETH port is
suspended temporarily
- On detection of traffic obstruction on the VMAN considered in the direction ETH = > VCG, a pause frame is
transmitted on the ETH port to ask the remote equipment to stop the transmission of Ethernet frame
temporarily.
Warning : When the Pause mode is activated, be careful to configure the CIR and PIR to the maximum of the
capacity of the VCG
Configuring a VCG
Click on the “VCG” block, then on the “List” link. For the selected VCG#1 interface, click on VC#1 and then on
the “Multiple Add Member” link. In the new screen coming up, select “VC12” as type and VC#6 as last
connection. Click on “Apply” in order to create the virtually concatenated group of 6 VC12 (VC12#1 to VC12#6)
that will be used to transport Ethernet traffic.

- untagged : corresponds to a provider interface without provider VMAN tag (no VLAN sharing).
- tagged : corresponds to a provider interface on which a provider VMAN tag is inserted in the outcoming
frames and a provider VMAN tag is treated in the incoming frames.
Click on the "Alarms" link. Select interface VCG#1 . Tick option "Monitor" and click on "APPLY" in order to start
monitoring alarms on this port (see Figure 5-9).
Click on the “Switch” block, then on the “VMAN Create” link. Enter “2” as new VMAN ID and click on “Apply” in
order to add it. A new screen comes up in order to associate ports to this VMAN.
Click on the “Add Port” link. Select the Ethernet interface ETH#1, the “trTCM” policing algorithm, enter 10Mbps
for the CIR and PIR, and 7 for the "User Priority " (maximun priority) (for more information on the notion of
priority, see the § 5.2.4 - on the QoS). The CBS and EBS values are left to default. Then click on “Add” to
complete the addition of this port to VMAN 2.
Click on the “Add Port” link again. Select the Ethernet interface VCG#1, the “trTCM” policing algorithm, and
enter 10Mbps for the CIR and PIR, and 7 for the "User Priority " (maximun priority). The CBS and EBS values
are left to default value. Then click on “Add” to complete the addition of this port to VMAN 2.
The association of these 2 ports to the same and unique VMAN ID isolates the Ethernet Switching between
these 2 ports from the rest of the ports (all the other Ethernet and VCG interfaces). Ethernet traffic forwarded
between these 2 ports cannot leak out on other ports and vice versa.
Note : In order to install a point-to-point connection (EPLine service), there should never be more than 2 ports
(1 customer UNI Ethernet port and 1 untagged NNI Ethernet or VCG port) in the same VMAN on the
GFP150 card.
To double check the configuration click on the “VMAN List” link. A table displays what ports are associated with
each VMAN configured on the GFP150 card.

Note : This screen can be used to configure the severity of the alarms related to concatenated VC’s.
5. Click on the “Settings” link and verify that the VCG#1 is “Up”.
6. Try sending bi-directional Ethernet traffic across the end-to-end connection. You could for example:
• Run a “ping” or a file transfer between 2 PC’s to control Ethernet connectivity.
• Use an Ethernet traffic generator in order to further qualify the end-to-end connection.
As a final step, double-check compliance of the GFP150 counters on both ends based on the traffic being
forwarded. Namely the following counters:
- Ethernet counters: click on the “ETH” block and then on the “MIB2 Counters” link
- GFP counters: click on the “VCG” block and then on the “MIB2/GFP Counters” link
- SLA compliance counters: click on the “Switch” block. Select VMAN ID “2”, click on the “VMAN SLA

In the diagram below, one intends to deport two full duplex LAN Ethernet 100 BaseTX between 2 sites
equipped of ADR155C by sharing the same VCG for the two traffics (sharing), this in order to optimize the SDH
bandwidth.
One supposes that the Ethernet traffic rate exchanged between the 2 sites does not exceed 10Mbps for each
flow.

Configuring a VCG
By proceeding in the same way as to the § 5.2.2.1.1 -, for the interface VCG#1 create a virtually concatenated
group of 12 VC12 (VC12#1 to VC12#12) that will be used to transport Ethernet traffic.
Click on the “Settings” link. to configure VCG#1 as following : “Admin Status” at “Up”, "Logical Interface NNI" at
"tagged", “LCAS” at “Yes” and “FCS” at “No”. These options correspond to the needed example for the sharing,
on the VCG1 the frames must be tagged
This screen also displays the type of VCG#1 (VC12) and the number of constituting VC members (12).
Click on the "Alarms " link. Select the interface VCG#1. Tick "Monitor" option and click on "APPLY " in order to
start monitoring alarms on this port (see Figure 5-9)..
Click on the “Add Port” link. Select the Ethernet interface ETH#1, the “trTCM” policing algorithm, enter 10Mbps
for the CIR and PIR, and 7 for the "User Priority " (maximun priority) (for more information on the notion of
priority, see the § 5.2.4 - on the QoS). The CBS and EBS values are left to default values. Then click on “Add”
to complete the addition of this port to VMAN 2.

The association of these 2 ports to the same and unique VMAN ID isolates the Ethernet Switching between
these 2 ports from the rest of the ports (all the other Ethernet and VCG interfaces). Ethernet traffic forwarded
between these 2 ports cannot leak out on other ports and vice versa.
With the selection of tagged mode for the VCG1, it is possible to differentiate traffics of the two Eth links on the
VCG.
Note : In order to install a point-to-point connection (EVPLine service), there should never be more than 2
ports (1 customer UNI Ethernet port and 1 tagged NNI Ethernet or VCG port) in the same VMAN on the
GFP150 card.
To check the configuration click on the “VMAN List” link. A table displays the associated ports to each
configured VMAN on the GFP150 card.
Click on the “Connection” tab and configure the connections from VC12#1 to VC12#12 of the GFP150 card as
usual in order to have end-to-end SDH connectivity with the remote GFP150 card.
Just do the configuration on the second ADR155C by following the exact same steps again.
Once both ADR155C systems are configured, the ports used by the point-to-point links can be activated on
each ADR155C.

In the network below, we show interconnection of three remote sites with one central site in a “hub and spoke”
topology. Although Ethernet interfaces are 100BaseTX full duplex, the load of traffic between the remote sites
and the central site is as follows:
• remote sites 1 and 2 : 10Mbps (6VC12),
• remote site 3 : 5Mbps (3VC12).
The sum of the data rates going to the central site is 25Mbps. However we consider in this example that the
total rate of traffic going in the opposite direction (a.k.a. from the central site to the remote sites) doesn’t go over
20Mbps ; this is just for the purpose of the example.
In this example, the central site acts as a full bridge : Ethernet frames can be forwarded between remote sites.
If no traffic must be allowed between remote sites (for security purpose for instance), one should use 3 separate
Ethernet interfaces on the central site, and 1 point to point connection between each remote site and the central
site. In this case configure 3 independent point-to-point connections as described in the previous section.

• A source probe that transmits a multicast frame periodically (by default 10 seconds in the ADR155C)
toward sink probes. A probe source can transmits toward several sink probes.
• A sink probe that treats the multicast frame, and a time-out (by default 10 secondes in the ADR155C).
In the example of the figure N°1, a source probe is declared in the equipment N°1 and a sink probe in the
equipment N°2 on the same VMANi, that allows the monitoring of the VMANi customer traffic between
equipment N°1 and equipment N°2 in one direction
To supervise the other direction of this VMANi it is necessary to add two supplementary probes, a source probe
on the equipment N°2 and a sink probe on the equipment N°1.
• OAM Degraded : in this case it is the loss of one up to three consecutive CC frames
• OAM Defect : in this case it is the loss of at least four consecutive CC frames.
The period between two OAM frames is configurable : 10s by default.
The number of source probes is limited to 10 and the number of sink probes to 64 by GFP150 card.
The frame multicast OAM is not distributed on the UNI port (customer), and is distributed tagged on tagged NNI
port and no tagged on untagged NNI port
The OAM CC multicast MAC address is by default: 01-80-C2-00-00-67.

Notes:
- The periodic OAM defect, can mean that network capacity for the VCG are not adjusted, and that congestions
appear (example : a VC link loss in a VCG with LCAS).
- No OAM probe must be activated on a flow created between a GFP150 card and a 4E/FE card. The provider
OAMcc frames are not filtered by the 4E/FE card and are forwarded to the customer network.
The GFP150 card provides various QoS functions. These functions format outgoing traffic flows on all
interfaces. Namely:
Functional diagram
The object of this mechanism is to encourage an important customer by report on a lower customer in
aggregate traffic to respect times of latency associated to every class of service.
The egress treatment (side port broadcast) permits a differentiated treatment according to the priority of the
VMAN with these different queues of transmission (TC: Traffic Class) as well as the means of outgoing
(scheduling in priority the TC1 SP (Strict Priority) file untill its shaping is reached).
This diagram applies to all ports: the 8 Ethernet interfaces plus the 8 Ethernet over SDH interfaces. All functions
are configured separately per port.

Rate control compares the temporal characteristics of received traffic (based on the rate and length of bursts)
with a contract subscribed by the customer sending this traffic. This type of contract is commonly called a
“Service Level Agreement” (SLA).
In the first stage, the temporal characteristics of the actual traffic flow are measured (“metering”). By comparing
them to the configured profile (or contract), each frame is colored according to the following rule:
• Green: the frame is “in profile”
• Yellow: the frame is “partially out of profile”
• Red: the frame is “entirely out of profile”
The GFP150 card provides counters displaying the number of frames associated with each color.
In a second stage, all frames run through the policing function and all Red frames are dropped. Only Green and
Yellow frames can progress.
Metering of the GFP150 card is based on two IETF standards that can be selected via configuration:
• “Single Rate Three Color Marker” (srTCM) per the IETF RFC 2697
• “Two Rate Three Color Marker” (trTCM) per the IETF RFC 2698
When an interface is added to a VMAN, a traffic profile must be configured to be used with traffic entering that
interface.
Traffic profiles
Traffic profiles use the following parameters on the GFP150 card:
The QoS parameters strictly apply to the Ethernet traffic. The overhead generated by GFP encapsulation is not
accounted for in these rates.

GFP150 CARD
The GFP150 card uses a standard algorithm to control the distribution of resources between classes of service
LP (Low Priority) and SP (Strict Priority) in order to manage congestion phases.
The QOS configuration in the GFP150 holds account of the priority information affected to every aggregate
customer. The priority affectation to a customer is done according to a SLA (service level agreement), via the
field configuration "User Priority" (between 0 and 7). To a priority data,.(configured in UNI (or NNI untagged )
ports or extracted from VMAN tags in NNI tagged ports corresponds a traffic class :
• User Priority 0,1,2,3,4,5 => TC0 (Low Priority)
• User Priority 6,7 => TC1 (Strict Priority)
In the current version of GFP150 card, congestion can happen on transmission on an Ethernet or an Ethernet
over SDH interface under the following two (non exclusive) circumstances:
• In a point-to-multipoint topology, when traffic coming from several ports must be mixed for transmission over
another port of the GFP150. There can be more or less transitory phases where the sum of incoming traffic
is significantly greater than the bandwidth available on the outbound port. Point-to-multipoint topologies
especially subject to this type of congestion are those involving an Ethernet port configured at 10Mbps or an
Ethernet over SDH port configured with a small number of VC’s.
• Regardless of the actual topology, when a large quantity of traffic goes through the policing stage but with
the Yellow color (only partially compliant traffic). There can be more or less transitory phases where the
excess rate is actually too high to be transmitted fast enough over the outbound port. Traffic profiles
especially subject to this type of congestion are those with a large differential between the configured CIR
and PIR.
Some repetitive or lasting congestion problems generally require an evolution of the topology network.
Examples above with Point-to-Point, Hub-and-Spoke and Bus topologies already describe the configuration of a
traffic profile when adding a new port to a VMAN (see “Configuring the Ethernet Switch” for each example).
Instructions are different to configure a traffic profile on ports already associated with a VMAN. Click on the
“Switch” block and on the “VMAN List” link. Then three commands are available:
• “Add Port”: use this link to add a new port in a VMAN with a traffic profile
• “Delete Port”: use this link to remove a port from a VMAN and remove the associated traffic profile
• “Modify Port”: use this link to change the traffic profile associated with a VMAN configured on a port
The following screen shows the configuration of a “srTCM” traffic profile on an Ethernet port.

5.2.5.1 - Description of the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol on the GFP150 card
The GFP150 card enables activation of the "Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol " (MSTP), standard Ethernet
protocol defined in IEEE 802.1S.
MSTP can remove loops in an Ethernet network setup with redundant links. Without MSTP, these loops are
forbidden by the Ethernet standard to avoid a "broadcast storm ". With a loop and no MSTP, all broadcast
frames or unicast frames with an unknown address are endlessly replicated on all the links to the point where
the whole bandwidth is consumed.
However, in ring or meshed topologies, MSTP is recommended since the network contains Ethernet loops.
Notes :
- A SDH loop to activate SDH protection mechanisms does not imply a loop at the Ethernet level. Ethernet links
are terminated by Ethernet ports or Ethernet over SDH ports.
- No MSTP must be activated on a flow created between a GFP150 card and a 4E/FE card. The provider BPDU
MSTP frames are not filtered by the 4E/FE card and are forwarded to the customer network.
On the GFP150 card, MSTP can be turned ON/OFF at a global level first. Then, once globally activated, each
port Ethernet or Ethernet over SDH can be included or not in the Spanning Tree. Once a port is configured with
MSTP, the protocol controls transmission over this port. Namely, MSTP can block transmission on the port
momentarily or until MSTP converges again following a link loss on an Ethernet port.
The MSTP protocol on the GFP150 card permanently exchanges control packets called "BPDUs " with all other
GFP150 cards running MSTP in the network. These packets are only forwarded on links included in the
Spanning Tree by configuration.
Note : In the present configuration, only the VMAN of which the identifying is between 4032 and 4094 can use
MSTP. Therefore, MSTP can only be used on 63 VMANs.
Warning :
- The VMAN ID of an activated VMAN cannot be modified ; this VMAN must be formerly suppressed.
- The sharing of a VMAN using MSTP (VMAN ID from 4032 to 4094) with a VMAN without MSTP (VMAN ID
from 2 to 4031) can broke the traffic associated to the VMAN without MSTP because this last is automatically in
the CIST.
CIST (Common Instance Spanning Tree) manages a region, when more than 63 instances are used.
MSTI (Multi Spanning Tree Instance) manages a VLAN.
CIST and MSTI are independent .
Each MSTI is independent of other one. Each MSTI corresponds to one and only one VLAN.
Once a port is included in the Spanning Tree, MSTP compute the state of the port based both on the
information of the BPDUs received from the network as well as the transitions of the operational state of any
local port (in case of link loss/recovery for example).

A specific MSTP cost can be configured on every port (port priority), and on every Bridge (Bridge priority) in
order to control the Tree topology of the network during stable phases. At times where there is no link loss on
any port, either Ethernet or Ethernet over SDH. Naturally, redundant links blocked by MSTP during stable
phases can be unblocked when a link is lost in the network. Later, when the link failure is fixed and the primary
link comes back up, MSTP re-converges towards the stable topology and blocks back the redundant links.
Per IEEE 802.1D standard, MSTP BPDUs must be sent with a reserved multicast address as MAC destination :
01-80-C2-00-00-00 ("Bridge Group Address "). "). By default, the GFP150 card uses the address :
01-80-C2-00-00-08.
However, the MSTP implementation on the GFP150 card supports configuration of a different multicast address
(standard : 01-80-C2-00-00-00 or non standard : inside the range 01-80-C2-00-00-04 to 01-80-C2-00-00-0F) for
use by the protocol. Using a different address does not change the MSTP algorithm at all. It is just a way to
distinguish the BPDUs sent by the GFP150 card from BPDUs sent by any other Ethernet bridge (which would
logically use the standard address).
The GFP150 cards are useful to interconnect client Ethernet LANs across a network provider’s backbone
(Ethernet over SDH). There can be cases where the clients themselves would be running STP between their
remote sites. By using a non standard address only known by the ADR155C, the GFP150 card can transport
BPDUs coming from client networks in a totally transparent manner.
This way, the STP protocol in the operator network is completely isolated from any MSTP instances running in
the client networks. Moreover, the ADR155C ensures continuity of clients’ STP across remote client sites.
Note : It is recommended not to activate MSTP on the Ethernet ports unless otherwise required by the
topology. It is generally useless to activate the operator MSTP on ports connected to client networks.
The MSTP utilization by the GFP150 card is submitted to a Licence. To activate this Licence, proceed as
following :
1) note the GFP150 MAC address on which the MSTP Licence must be activated
2) provide these informations to the Hotline via phone or E-MAIL to get the Licence key
3) enter the MSTP Licence key (32 characters) provided by the Hotline, via the "MSTP > Licence Activation"
menu, then click on Apply.

Note :
An alarm "No MSTP Licence" of card level is activated if at least one port has a MSTP configuration to ON and
if the MSTP licence is not activated.
The severity of this alarm is major and no configurable.
Use the previous example with a bus topology. Just a redundant link between the remote ADR155C 1 and 3 is
added. The final topology works like a ring.
First the 4 ADR155C should be configured according to the instructions of the bus topology section of this
document (*). Then, the three steps below should be followed in order :
Once the link is activated, one should see that MSTP puts each end of the redundant link in the "DISCARDING"
state. All other ports of the bus go in "FORWARDING" or “ROOT” state.
(*) Warning : the used VMAN for MSTP should have a VMAM ID between 4032 and 4094 ; it will be 4032 for
this example.

GFP150 CARD
The GFP150 card enables activation of the standard protocol "Link Capacity Adjustment System " (LCAS)
independently on each of the 8 VCGs.
LCAS is useful to :
• Dynamically add or remove VC members from a VCG without deactivating the VCG (making it a hitless
operation for traffic)
• Dynamically adjust the available bandwidth when alarms are triggered ON/OFF on the VC members of a
VCG. The bandwidth of every VC under failure is subtracted from the VCG bandwidth. Hence, in case of
failures the VCG continues to forward traffic as long as there is still at least one operational VC.
Without LCAS :
• The GFP150 card requires deactivation of a VCG before VC members can be added or removed (it forces a
traffic interruption)
• A VCG becomes completely broken as soon as an alarm is triggered on at least one VC member. Plus, it
becomes operational again only once no VC is under failure anymore.
In order to run, LCAS only needs to be activated on both ends of a VCG. LCAS is transparent for the SDH
backbone point of view. Once both ends of a VCG are configured with LCAS they start exchanging control
information in the SDH overhead (namely, in the multi-frame of virtual concatenation).
LCAS can be used as a mechanism to protect transmission of Ethernet traffic : when a part of the VCs of a VCG
fail, transmission continues with the remaining operational VCs.
This protection mechanism makes sense only if the VCs of a VCG are not all configured the same way across
the SDH network :
• Either they must take different path via independent SDH links ;
• Or a part of the VCs must be protected at the SDH level (SNC, etc.) ;
• Or some of both.
We use again the point-to-point connection example described earlier in this document. The VCs just use two
different SDH paths. The LCAS option is at “Yes” by default.
By proceeding in the same way as to the § 5.2.2.1.1 -, for the interface VCG#1 create a virtually concatenated
group of 6 VC12 (VC12#1 to VC12#6) that will be used to transport Ethernet traffic.
Click on the “Settings” link. Verify that VCG#1 is set with the default configuration. This screen also displays the
type of VCG#1 (VC12) and the number of constituting VC members (6).
Click on the "Alarms " link. Select interface VCG#1 . Tick option "Monitor " and click on "APPLY " in order to
start monitoring alarms on this port (see Figure 5-9).
Click on the “Connection” tab. Configure the connections from VC12#1 to VC12#6 of the GFP150 card in way
where 3 VC12 go through a SDH card and the 3 other VC12 go through a second SDH card. Make sure you
have end-to-end SDH connectivity with the remote ADR155C.

1. The configuration of the Ethernet interface must be identical between the GFP150 card and the
transmission equipment present on the LAN. It is preferable to use the “manual” modes rather than the
"auto negotiation" mode because of the incompatibility of operation of this mode between certain
equipment.
2. The changes of configuration of VCG interface (LCAS, FCS) must be done when the interface is "OFF "
(AdminStatus ticked "down"). The interface is configured to "ON " (AdminStatus ticked "up") when
configurations of the 2 extremities of the link are effective. However, when LCAS is activated on a VCG
interface and when this interface is itself in the state "ON ", it is possible to modify the VCG composition
(add/delete VC members) without putting the interface "OFF " before. In this case, these modifications are
directly taken into account.
3. For each VCG, it is preferable to configure the FCS parameter to "No ".

• The Ethernet rate configured for each interface of the GFP150 card is corresponding to the payload
avalaible at the Ethernet interface.
• This rate is called MTU (64 to 1548 bytes including 6 Bytes @dest, 6 Bytes @src, 2 Bytes lgd trame, and 4
Bytes FCS).
• Knowing there is 12 intergap Bytes between 2 Ethernet frames, which are outside the payload, and 8
preamble Bytes per Ethernet frame, which are also outside the payload, when an Ethernet 100 BaseTX
interface is used to the maximum of its capacity (end to end frames at 100Mbit/sec), payload rate in
100BaseTX is 76.19Mbit/sec for 64 Bytes (MTU) frames, and 98.72Mbit/sec for 1548 Bytes (MTU) frames.
• In the same way, payload rate in 10BaseT is 7.62Mbit/sec for 64 Bytes (MTU) frames, and 9.87Mbit/sec for
1548 Bytes (MTU) frames.
• Because we don’t control Ethernet frames lengths in a link, which may change from frame to frame, we
have to imagine the most critical case, in order to configure the VCG rate for the link. Note the GFP protocol
adds an 8 Bytes header (12 Bytes when the GFP FCS is ON), header taken into account in
§ 5.5.3 -and § 5.5.4 -
Note that even if we know how to configure, in the case of 100BaseTX, a CIR upper than 1 and under 100
Mbit/sec (per 1Mbit/sec step) at the customer Ethernet interface (and in the case of the 10BaseT mode a CIR
between 1 and 10Mbit/sec sec (per 1Mbit/sec step)), some normal limitations are to be taken into account :
Of course, if others VC3 and/or VC12 are used for transporting flows coming from other cards in
ADR155C, it must be taken into account.
Note than all VCG VC3 based in the GFP150 card can’t use more than 2 VC3.

4E/FE AND 4E/FE+1GE CARDS
The EPLine service proposed by the 4E/FE card can be interconnected with the EPLine and/or EPLAN services
proposed by the DATA cards from ADR range, with equivalent services and granularities.
The 4E/FE+1GE card proposes the same service as the 4E/FE card
- on 5 ports in 5 ports mode : 46 VC12 or 2 VC3 max per port ; the 150 Mbit/s bandwidth is shared between the
5 ports
- on 1 port in 1 GE port mode : 63 VC12 or 3 VC3 max ; the 150 Mbit/s bandwidth is completely allocated with
this port.
Each ADR155C can include up to four 4E/FE or 4E/FE+1GE cards which must take place in "A", "B", "C" or
"D".slots.
Each "ETH #n" port is necessarily associated to the "VCG #n" port (n= 1to 4).
In case of management by IONOS-NMS, it will always be necessary to create a VMAN associating an ETH#n to
a VCG#n.
This chapter has for objective to guide the user for the implementation and configuration of the 4E/FE card. It
gives simple examples which should be easily adapted to the needs.
Service provided by 4E/FE card allows to build an Ethernet LAN between 2 remote sites :
An EPLine service (Ethernet Private Line) allowing Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX point to point interconnection
through a SDH network by using, for each connection, a VCG (VC-Group) based on virtual concatenation
(VCAT). It is possible to obtain up to 4 independent point to point connections per 4E/FE card. Rate granularity
for each VCG is based either on VC12, or on VC3. With each VCG, it is possible to concatenate from 1 to 46
VC12 or from 1 to 2 VC3. The sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 4 ETH ports, cannot
exceed the STM1 bandwidth (about 150Mbit/s).
From P5.4.6 issue, the 4E/FE card manages the Jumbo Frames (9600 bytes) ; the previous issues managed
frames of 1600 bytes max length.

with one service per port. On these interfaces the provider OAM and BPDU MSTP management frames from
GFP150 or GFP2500 cards are not filtered : they are sent to the customer network. Therefore, no OAM or
MSTP must be activated on a flow created between a GFP150 or GFP2500 card and a 4E/FE card.

• Dynamically add or remove VC members from a VCG without deactivating the VCG (making it a hitless

traffic interruption)
• A VCG becomes completely broken as soon as an alarm is triggered on at least one VC member. Plus, it
becomes operational again only once no VC is under failure anymore.
In order to run, LCAS only needs to be activated on both ends of a VCG. LCAS is transparent for the SDH

This card can be used according to two modes, the choice of this mode being done at the board configuration
time in the shelf.
In this mode, the four ports “ETH” and the port GE are exploited.
It is possible to realize one point-to-point connection being able to use all the 150 Mbit/s bandwidth.

The screen below allows to configure the Link Down Retransmit and the Pause Mode, automatic or manual.
These functions are identical to those of the 4E/FE card.
This screen is also used to set the alarms severity associated to the interface defects.

BUILDING A MANAGEMENT NETWORK
The ADR155c management network is based on the IP protocol stack. Each network node
(each ADR155c) integrates an IP router which routes each packet to its destination; these
network nodes are connected together by PPP ( Point to Point protocol) link.
Each ADR has an IP address called an "equipment address" (based on release P3.1). This
address must be configured when the ADR is commissioned. This is the only IP address used
by the management system. The ADR must be declared with this address in the manager. All
information (alarms, events) concerning the ADR are then notified to the manager with the
equipment address.
The PPP links (whatever their physical support: DCCr, DCCm, VC12..) are supervised.
The ADR155c has two routing protocols, RIP and OSPF (available as of P3.1)
The RIP protocol is limited to 16 "hops" in the network. The OSPF protocol enables
management of large sized networks. The OSPF protocol does not require any special
configuration; it is always necessary to ensure that all the network elements are in the same
"area".
When creating a PPP link, the operator has two choices: either the link is numbered or it is
unnumbered. This is independent of the protocol selected (RIP or OSPF). The unnumbered
links do not have an IP address and therefore more easily enable construction of a network
(since there is no need to define all the IP addresses of all the links).

BUILDING A MANAGEMENT NETWORK
In the ADR155c, the static routes are used to configure routes which are not learned by the
routing protocols and located "on the periphery" of the protocol areas or domains: routes to
machines on Ethernet network such as manager, for example.
The static routes, as implemented in the ADR155c, have the following characteristics:
• each route is assigned a metric.
• each route is assigned a preference. The preference is used to settle conflicts when routes
of different types (static and dynamic) have the same destination.
• preference is given to the static routes with respect to the dynamic routes.
• the static routes are always exported by the routing protocols to the other equipment.
Depending on whether the interface which the routes take is in the operational state or not, the
static routes are set up or removed to avoid assignment of non-valid routes.
A maximum of twenty static routes is supported by each ADR
Configuration of static routes
In the static tables context, each network node must have its routing table filled in order to
correctly route the packets received.
All IP routes of a routing table of a given equipment comprise the following fields:
• «destination @IP» : corresponds to the IP address of the equipment or sub-network (or
network) to be reached from the given equipment,
• «subnet mask» : this is the sub-network mask associated to the IP address defined in the
«destination @IP» ; all equipment with the IP address part defined by the "1" bits of this field
which corresponds to the same value as the «destination @IP» part defined by this same
mask can be reached through this route,
• «next hop @IP» : IP address of next equipment (connected directly with given equipment) to
which the packet will be sent,
• «metric» (also referred to as "cost" or distance): value from 1 to 15 indicating the number of
hops to reach the corresponding equipment at the «destination @IP» address. 16
corresponds to infinity for the RIP routing daemon. This field is only used by a possible
routing daemon to select a preferential route if several different routes exist for the same
destination. It is always possible to configure this field for 1 to simplify if use of the field is not
indispensable.
• «interf.» : interface number used to reach the next equipment (whose IP address is «next
hop @IP»).
Note: Declaration of the interface IP addresses results in setting up implicit static routes to the
associated SUBNETs. It is therefore not necessary to define static routes to join two
equipments on a single SUBNET.
Note: The IP addresses of an equipment are the addresses of its interfaces (or ports) which
have been configured. The manager only knows one IP address per equipment. This is
why reference is often made to the IP address of an equipment to designate the
address configured in the manager database. This is the address of the port by which
the equipment normally dialogues with the manager.
Note: To operate an equipment via a PC and an Ethernet interface, the IP address of the
operation PC must be modified so that it belongs to the same SUBNET as the Ethernet
interface used to connect to the network.
The HOST 1 number on each SUBNET should be left free, i.e. begin to number the
equipment starting with the HOST 2 number. The PC will thus always take an IP
address such as : NET.SUBNET.1
Note: A default router can be defined (option sometimes available) to which all packets which
cannot be routed by the routing table are transmitted.

A RIP or OSPF routing protocol is implemented (RIP only if size of network allows).
The Ethernet network forms an IP sub-network; the Ethernet interface is thus assigned an
address in the sub-network.
The equipment addresses can be selected in any given way, but not in the Ethernet sub-
network.
The breakdown of the number of addresses per equipment thus gives:
ADR 1 has two addresses (Ethernet address and equipment address), ADRs 2 and 3 each
have one address (equipment address).

To exceed the RIP constraints (limited to 16 "hops"), the network can be divided into two routing
domains in accordance with the diagram below:
Domain 2
ADR 2
Domain 1
ADR 1
ADR 0
Ethernet
The overall equipment network is divided into domains (1 and 2) in which the RIP routing is
implemented.
The Ethernet network is there to represent the link with the SNMP manager on the PC not using
the RIP.
The two domains are connected via ADR 1 and ADR 2 (which functionally are border routers).
The link between the two border ADRs can be an Ethernet link, numbered PPP or unnumbered
PPP.
The RIP is not activated on the interfaces of this link connecting the two domains.
Routing between the two domains is made possible by static routes configured in the ADRs.
ADR 1 has static routes to the sub-networks forming domain 2 and ADR 2 has routes to the
sub-networks forming domain 1.
The static routes to the sub-networks of a domain (2, for example) in the border ADR of the
other domain (ADR 1) can be reduced to a single route to a sub-network combining the sub-
networks of the domain (2).
This global sub-network must be distinct with respect to the sub-networks of the other domain
(1, in the example).
