INSTALLATION
1 INSTALLATION
The ADR2500 eXtra (Add-Drop multiplexer 2500 Mbit/s) is a STM-16 optical add-drop multiplexer
used to build STM-16 point-to-point links, STM-16 rings or meshed networks with SNC path
protection or MSP protection or MS-SPRing protection (line).
It allows to transport 2 Mbit/s, 34 Mbit/s, 45 Mbit/s, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s, Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over STM-4 or STM-16.
The ADR2500 eXtra offers a cross-connection with VC4-16c, VC4-4c, VC4, VC3, VC12
granularity, called "SWITCH HO/LO" with 64x64 VC4 (or 32x32 VC4), 192x192 VC3 (or 96x96
VC3) and/or 4032x4032 VC12 (or 2016x2016 VC12) capacity, unidirectional or bi-directional.
This matrix is completely not blocking.
The STM-n and xGE-DM cards (from P2.4 release) and the GFP2500-2GE cards offer
extractable interfaces SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ; the optical SFP modules also
integrate DDM (DIGITAL Diagnostic Monitoring) function.
The association with a MUX 10000 Unit allows an optical multiplexing - demultiplexing function of
four STM-16 signals from four L16.2+ cards with wavelength in the 200 GHz grid (1,6 nm).
The ADR2500 eXtra can optionally include the protection of power supply, of switching matrix
function and of PDH cards.
The ADR2500 eXtra interworks with equipment of the synchronous digital hierarchy complying
with recommendations G.707, G.783 and G.7041 of the ITU-T.

either an ETSI kit constituted of 2 ETSI brackets (1 right + 1 left) + 12 screws M3x6 + 12 flat
washers M3,
The mounting kit for installation of the shelf on the uprights of the 19" or ETSI rack, formed by 6
cage nuts and 6 screws, is not supplied with the shelf
The ADR2500 eXtra has ventilation-type heat regulation system. When installing, provide for
two appropriate spaces : one below the shelf for the hold of air (minimum 75 mm), the other in
top of the shelf for the evacuation of air and the passage of cables (minimum 75 mm).
Proceed as following :
Insert the FAN-2G module in the shelf before integrating this one in the rack.
provide a 14U position in the rack for each equipment, 2U space under the shelf and 2U
space above the shelf, placing either a passive equipment (coiling assembly for example)
either a deflector of air between 2 shelves.
secure the mounting brackets for installation in a 19" rack to either side of the empty shelf,
placing a washer behind the screw head.
clip the 3 cage nuts M6 in their housings on the left upright of the rack (see distance
between 2 cage nuts on figure),

INSTALLATION
For the STM-16 cards, the optical fibers attached to the transmission laser and to the reception
photodiode are single mode devices with 10 micron core.
(*) The typical ranges suppose the use of normalized fibers adapted to the emission wavelength
and for the mentioned optic penalty. A previous measure of the optic balance is recommended
(**) The ADR2500 eXtra proposes single fibre STM1 interfaces which allow to use only one
single-mode fibre between two STM1 access points.
Contrary to other STM1 interfaces, the optical modules at the two ends of fibre 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-Bidi) 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 fibre. A remote checking of the inventories of modules allows to detect the problem.
Note (1) : No wavelength multiplexing : use lasers with wavelength of 1550,92 nm 0,1 nm
These interfaces must be used in association with MUX 10000 Unit (see Annex C).

INSTALLATION
Note (2) : If wavelength multiplexing is implemented, a 6dB attenuation for the optical
multiplexer/demultiplexer pair inserted on the line should be taken into account.
Note (3) : The U16.2 characteristics are given for a U16.2 card associated to the
OPTICAL BOOSTER + 14 DBM unit (see Annex B).
WARNING (1) : In case of higher ambient temperature, the radiator equipping the L16.2+ and
U16.2 interface cards can reach a temperature superior to 50C. This heat risk at the extraction
of the card is indicated by a sticker in front panel.

A new type of shelf, without PDH protection, is available from P2.4 release.
The difference with the other shelf is this one does not offer LTU connectors.
This shelf extends connectivity in a number of PDH access points with the 63E1FA and
3E3DS3FA cards and does not manage the 63E1, 3E3DS3, LTU21E120, LTU21E75 and

Use of other browsers or older versions of Internet Explorer is forbidden.
2.1.2 - Procedure
) On initial start-up, the equipment analyzes its constitution and takes this as the expected
configuration, under controlled service. It is therefore recommend to insert all the interface
cards before switching on the equipment in order to accelerate the commissioning
procedure.
NOTES :
- The initial commissioning procedure is normally carried out in factory.
- If the four LEDs of the CTRL-2G card permanently flash, this means the card is passed
in degraded mode To go out of this degraded mode, see the chapter 5 "DEGRADED
MODE"
) Start up the power supply connected to the equipment on the CCU-2G card.

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
Enter the required IP address, keeping in mind that it must be different from that of the other
equipment and must be defined in a different subnetwork of the one of the Ethernet. The IP
address of the remote equipment will belong to the same network.
Example: if the IP address of the local equipment is 192.168.114.8, that of the remote
equipment will be 192.168.114.xxx with xxx not equal to 008
When the IP address exists and is modified, equipment REBOOT is proposed. This
REBOOT operates itself without affecting the traffic.
Error message "Equipment address is mandatory" : the equipment address is mandatory

"Subnet mask" : sub-network mask.
"Route Protocol" : protocol : 0 (None), 1 (RIP) or 2 (OSPF)
The IP address of the Ethernet interface for the equipment connected to the management
PC must belong to the same network and have the same subnet mask as the PC IP
address.
Example: management equipment address: 135.10.114.8 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.000
The PC address must be 135.10.114.xxx with xxx not equal to 0, 255 or
008.
The addresses of the gateway and no gateway equipment must be defined in different
subnetworks.
This management Ethernet interface is available on the access "ETH" of CTRL-2G.

To correctly operate, the application needs a unique address in the network (the addressing
rules are reviewed in Annex A and apply to the numbered interfaces).
The Ethernet port also needs an explicit address if operating. On the other hand, the PPI ports,
carried by the DCCs of the SDH links or by the management VC12, do not need to have an
explicit address, thus facilitating implementation of these and limiting the number of required
addresses.
Unnumbered type is thus selected in the screen : IP Parameters Interfaces
Configuration .
However explicit addressing of the PPP ports is required if two equipment are connected by
more than one PPP link. In this case, for proper operation, OSPF routing daemon should be
used on these interfaces, not RIP.
NOTE : The utilization of a management port of P type (P1 or P2) requires the utilization of two
resources VC12 at the level of the switching matrix, but one alone VC12 on the STM-n link.

2.2.7 - 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),
2 sources T1 extracted from incoming tributary STM-1, STM-4 or STM-16 trains (1 to 32
possibilities depending on number and type of cards present in equipment),
2 sources T1 extracted from incoming line STM-4 or STM-16 trains (1 to 2 possibilities
depending on number of "LINE" cards in equipment),
2 sources T2 extracted from incoming tributary 2 Mbit/s trains (maximum 1 T2 by 63E1 or
63E1FA card).
The 63E1FA card does not propose T2 synchronization when it is located in "TRIB 1" slot.
The TRIB 8 and LTU 8-x slots are only proposed in T2_1.
T3_1 and T3_2 : two external sources, 2 MHz G.703
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 exits can be :

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
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.
Depending on the configuration, this message corresponds to the local alarms and/or the remote
monitoring loopback 1 and 2 (Local user input #1 or #2). Data are transmitted within the S1 byte (the 4
bits not used for the synchronisation).
For each site in the network, data chaining in either a bus or ring type network architecture is
provided by a "OR" function between data received via the incoming S1 STM-n, and local data (Local
alarms and/or Local user input #1and #2).
In the "Central Site" equipment, an "OR" function between data received via incoming S1
STM-n and local data enables local alarm loopbacks to be activated (Local user outputs Major and
Minor). Furthermore, a major/critical or minor remote default detected via S1 will trigger in the Central
Site equipment a local alarm with the major or minor severity.
S1 emission and reception may be configured separately for each STM-n access. This allows
the rejection of S1 received from a remote equipment which does not use the S1 byte for remote
loopback. This is also used to deselect S1 emission in some or all STM-n access points from central
sites in order to prevent a permanent alarm activation.
To configure the remote loopback function, the following parameters should be programmed :
"Central Site", Send Remote 1 and Send Remote 2 for local data, and Enable Input (Reception of
S1) and Enable Output (Emission of S1) for each configured STM-n access.
The Enable Input and Enable Output parameters take default values on each modification
of the Central Site option. Therefore, if the equipment becomes Central Site, the Enable Input
boxes become selected and the Enable Output boxes unselected. And if the equipment becomes
Remote Site (default configuration), all Enable Input and Enable Output boxes become
unselected. Then, these default values may be modified when required.
NOTE 1 : When Local User Input #1 and #2 collect major/critical and minor alarm informations, it is
necessary to give them a "warning" severity in order to avoid a permanent activation.
NOTE 2 : If the equipment loopback function is configured, it is necessary to deselect the S1 reception
on the corresponding STM-n access in order to avoid a permanent alarm activation.
NOTE 3 : If a MSP type protection is configured, the loops management parameters are not
configurable on the Protection access. They take the same values as the Working access parameters
and the S1 byte is broadcasted on both access points of the MSP pair.
The Figure 2-8 gives an example of remote management of the local outgoing loops
according to the equipment connections.

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
To protect a ring-type digital data transmission network, several protection mechanisms are
available, including MS-SPRing, SNC and MSP. The MSP and MS-SPRing protection systems
are exclusive with respect to each other on a single multiplexing section, and the SNC protection
does not apply to channels protected by MS-SPRing.
The MS-SPRing protection function (Multiplex Section Shared Protection Ring) is available on
ring topologies with up to 16 nodes. Compared to the SNC protection, it provides the advantage
of shared use of protection resources for several trails within the ring.
In these multiplex section shared protection rings, the active channels carry the normal traffic
signals whereas the protection channels are reserved for protection of the traffic. This is available
on the Line interfaces of the ADR2500 eXtra.
2.2.9.2 - Principle
The ADR2500 eXtra implements the MS-SPRing protection diagram (BSHR) for ring protection
on 2 fibers.
The fibers are divided into channels; for example, one STM-16 contains 16 AU4 channels. The
set of channels is divided into Working channels and protection channels. There are an equal
number of each. A so called "channel" is a channel within the ring and not within an equipment.
Mechanisms are implemented by an equipment to route the Working channel information on
Protection channels in the opposite direction when a fiber break occurs, for example.
Half of the channels on each fiber are used for protection. Thus, there is only a single physical
ring.
The standard calls for the possibility of transmitting the unprotected traffic on certain channels
while other channels are protected : thus we have NUT channels (Non-preemptible Unprotected
Traffic) which cannot be interrupted for protection purposes and Extra-Traffic which is carried in
protection channels, available when the ring is idle, and therefore interrupted during a protection
action (Extra Traffic non supported).

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
In the example given above, there is a connection between nodes 6 and 3 via nodes 1 and 2. A
fiber break between nodes 2 and 3 requires re-routing of the channels in node 2. The channels
thus protected cross the ring in the reverse direction to reach node 3 using the protection
channels..

When there is no problem on the ring, the traffic passes in 8 AU4 (8 Working).
The association of numbers to the Working and protection channels is defined by the standard
and cannot be reordered. Channel 11 always protects channel 3.
This section contains the configuration rules to be applied (mandatory). These rules are
automatically applied transparently by IONOS-NMS.
CAUTIONS :
- Implementation and maintenance of the MS-SPRing protection configuration using the operation
interface without the IONOS-NMS network manager is extremely tricky and is not recommended
by SAGEM.
- Node-by-node activation of the protection should only be performed provided no section fault
(SF or SD) is present.
For any automatic configuration of the MS-SPRing protection, refer to the IONOS-NMS
installation and user guide.

RULES :
Adding or deleting a node in a ring requires modification of the topological maps of all the nodes.
A MS-SPRing ring cannot contain more than 16 nodes.
Configuration of misconnection map in the case where the VC4 of the ring transport
containers of lower order (VC3 and VC12) that are all extracted in a unique point of the
ring
In this case, the VC4 are the links point to point between the entrance and the exit of the ring and
we are brought back to a MS-SPRing protection therefore with suppression of signal at the level
VC4 normalized
The signal cancellation topological map (used in each node) contains the topological addresses
of the nodes through which the AU4 traffic enters and exits the ring : this map is only used for
signal cancellation purposes (injection of AU-AIS) subsequent to potential erroneous connections
occurring during multiple faults in the ring.

Configuration of misconnection map in the case where the VC4 of the ring transport
containers of lower order (VC3 and VC12) that are inserted / dropped to different places
of the ring (case of the VC4 omnibuses)
In this case, two protection solutions with choice by the operator at the time of the configuration
are proposed :
- the VC4 omnibuses are decomposed in n VC4 carriers joining every adjacent equipment; these
VC4 are protected in MS-Spring and the suppression of signal is assured at the VC4 level in
accordance with the norm. The inter-operability is guaranteed thus
- the VC4 omnibuses are declared as NUT trafic ; they are not therefore protected at the level
MS-Spring and one uses the SNC protection for lower order paths that they transport
RULES :
- The signal cancellation table of each node must be updated when a trail is created or deleted in
the network.
- In each node, each Working timeslot of the signal cancellation table must contain both the entry
and exit numbers of the node on which the traffic circulates on the ring.

The NUT map (unprotected uninterrupted traffic) must be identical in each node.
It indicates the NUT channels, i.e. channels for which the protection mechanism is inactivated.
Only Working channels are contained in the NUT map. If the Working channel is NUT, the
corresponding protection channel is also NUT.
Example :
Time slot W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7 W8

In the above example, the channel 3 is set to NUT, so the Working channel N 3 and its
Protection channel N 11 are both NUT.
The TCM function takes place at network level and provides the operator with a monitoring service for
VC4 data paths by the mean of TC trail delimited by TCM Points.
The TC EndPoint consists of a Source entity and a Sink entity ; the TC EndPoints work on a pair basis
(TC Endpoint X and TC EndPoint Y) ; the part of data path delimited by the pair X/Y is named a TC
Trail.
The Source of Point X generates a multiframe which is carried by the N1 byte alongside the TC Trail
up to the Sink of Point Y ; samely in the reverse direction, the Source of Point Y generates a
multiframe carried by the N1 byte up to the Sink of Point X.
The Figure 2-12 shows the four entities Source X, Sink X, Source Y and Sink Y working together

Sources and Sinks are then in position to cooperate and provide the following services :
- the Sink can detect a potential multiframe witin the received N1 bytes stream : TC-UNEQ
and Loss of TC alarms are raised if needed,
- the Sink extracts data from the received multiframe : IEC Counter, TC-REI, OEI, TC-RDI,
ODI indications, TC-API field,
- the Source inserts the same data into the transmitted multiframe,
- in case of of incoming AIS signal, VC-AIS information is forced by the Source into the IEC
counter ; this VC-AIS is detected by the Sink and reported as TC-incAIS alarm,
- the Source transmits a API : TC-API Sent configurable by the operator,
- the Sink detects the received API (TC-API Received) ; this API is compared to the TC-API
Expected (configurable by the operator),
- an alarm TC-APIM is reported in case of mismatch between TC-API Expected and TC-API
Received ; this alarm can be inhibited by the operator.
The pair X/Y coherently configured can then take the consequential actions when defaults are
detected by a Sink, by propagating AIS signal in the downwards direction and by generating a RDI
indication in the upwards direction (Sink interacts with local Source) ; consequential actions are taken
by a TC EndPoint only if it has been activated by the operator.

Nota1 : in order to minimize traffic errors, when a pair of TC Endpoints are set up, it is recommended
to follow the sequence :
- configure TC EndPoint X,
- configure TC EndPoint Y (normally located on another equipment),
- activate TC EndPoint X (or Y),
- activate TC EndPoint Y (or X).
Nota2 : in order to minimize traffic errors, when a pair of TC Endpoints are removed, it is
recommended to follow the sequence :
- deactivate TC EndPoint X,
- deactivate TC EndPoint Y (normally located on another equipment),
- unconfigure TC EndPoint X (or Y),
- unconfigure TC EndPoint Y (or X).
The TC Monitoring Point consists of two Monitor entities ; each one of them dealing with one traffic
direction ; each Monitor entity is able to intercept the N1 byte received in its direction, extract from the
multiframe the same informations as a Sink entity ; however the N1 byte is not terminated and it
continues to flow unchanged in the downwards stream.
A TC Monitoring Point is standalone ; it cannot be activated ; it cannot take consequential actions.
The target of a TC Monitoring Point (Point Z) is to localise the source of a defect causing errors on TC
trail delimited by TC EndPoints X and Y ; the operator can walk Point Z alongside the TC trail between
X and Y ; please refer to Figure 2-16.
When a cross-connection (supporting a TCM Point) is removed , the TCM Point is implicitly removed :
desactivation (if EndPoint) and unconfiguration.
A TCM Point can be located on STM-1/4/16 cards ; Data cards cannot support a TCM Point.
A TCM Point cannot be located on a Stm access involved into a MSP (Working side or Protected

Moreover, the functions for classification available with the GIG-E card allows to define up to
four classes of traffic.
The ADR2500 eXTra offers several types of parameter settings, adapted to various
applications and various needs for differentiating user flows.
Some operating modes use the flow classification in order to handle the necessary droppings,
but there exists a mode of rejection without discrimination, the QoS None mode, as well as a mode
without loss, the Pause mode used to inform the equipment upstream of the congestion.
"None" mode :
In this mode, all the frames coming from the gigabit Ethernet port are associated to the same
class.
Thus, they have the same precedence and consequently the elimination is done without
distinction on the flow types.
Using this mode with small WAN flows and important specific traffics (ftp) can induce some
inconvenience for applications with small traffic.

"Balanced" mode :
The Balanced mode is based on the two less significant bits of the VLanId field in the
802.1Q header. It implements a fixed assignment.
It is also associated with a mode for bandwidth allocation preset to a minimum of 25% and to
a maximum of 100% for each class.
"Bandwidth" mode :
In the bandwidth mode, classification is used not to define relative priorities but contracts of
bandwidth for each class. The parameters are the minimum and maximum thresholds.
The minimum threshold indicates the percentage of bandwidth guaranteed for the class. The
sum of the minimum thresholds of the four classes cannot exceed 100%.
The maximum threshold indicates the maximum percentage of the bandwidth that will be
allocated. If a class has an incoming flow equal to the outgoing flow and its maximum threshold is to
80 %, it will be allocated only 80% even if the remaining 20% of the bandwidth are lost.
The "Bandwidth" mode carries out, beyond the flows guaranteed minima, a statistical on-
assignment starting from the flow not allocated with the interval of previous time, which is distributed
equitably between the classes being able there to claim. The rejections related to a going beyond of
the contract of traffic are thus temporal, not statistic.
The configuration screen displays the bandwidth related to the number of VC constituting the
WAN channel.
"Red" mode :
This mode, dedicated to the configuration "QoS None", is used to handle frames in a
completely equitable way. As long as the buffer use rate does not reach the "First Point" value, the
frames are accumulated in the buffer without dropping.
Between "First Point" and "Second Point", the recently received frames are dropped
proportionally to the use rate.
When the use rate is above the "Second Point", all frames are dropped, thus making it
possible for the buffer to empty itself.
The rejection with RED makes it possible to use the depth of the outgoing buffer to temporarily
accept an incoming flow with a higher rate than the WAN flow defined before starting to drop
packages. In addition, the statistical and progressive loss leads the higher-layer protocols to control
their outgoing traffic.

"WRed" mode :
In this mode, the frames are dropped according to their class of service : the most important
class is the class 3, least important is the class 0 that is implicit class. The behavior of each class is
defined by the "Profile".
In the case of the "First Profile", below a use rate of 1%, no frame is dropped.
Between 1% and 25%, class 0 frames are dropped proportionally to the buffer use rate, but frames of
other classes are not dropped to in any case.
Beyond 25% of use rate, all frames of class 0 are dropped. An identical reasoning can be held for
classes 1, 2 and 3.
The behavior is the same one in the case of the "Second Profile", only the value of the
thresholds changes.

COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
"Pause" mode :
In the pause mode, the equipment at the ends of the Ethernet link may send or receive
specific frames to temporarily suspend sending traffic. Operation in pause mode depends on the
capacities being allocated to the equipment : Autonegotiation field and Pause Capability field.
If Pause Negotiation status is equal to Disabled, the pause mechanism is disabled. Thus
the equipment is able neither to handle incoming pause frames nor to send them.
If Pause Negotiation status is equal to Received, the equipment will handle incoming
pause frames.
If the Pause Negotiation status is equal to Sent and depending on the buffer use rate, the
equipment will send a pause frame to ask the other end to suspend its traffic.
If the Pause Negotiation status is equal to Sent & Received, the equipment is able to
handle both sending and reception pause frames.
High Threshold defines the buffer use rate from which the equipment will cease sending
pause frames in order to tell the other end to suspend sending.
Low Threshold defines the buffer use rate under which the equipment will have stop sending
pause frames in order to allow the other end to restart sending.
Since the Ethernet Pause frames apply to all flow without distinction, no classification is
associated there.

A PDH card inserted in TRIB 2 (63E1) or TRIB 1 (3E3DS3) allows to have a function of 1:n (n=4 max)
card protection provided that it is configured in protection mode as following :
The traffic switching on the protection card is automatic since a default (card default, missing card,
auto test defautl) is detected on the working card ; however the return of the traffic on this card,afer
repair, is not automatic : it is necessary to select "Manual Switch to Working" in the operation window.
If the traffic of a defective card has been switched on the protection card, no other traffic of another
card, even defective, can be switched on the help.
If several cards ask to switch their traffic simultaneously on the protection card, the card in the bigger
number slot TRIB will have the priority.
Example : the TRIBn+1 slot est more important than TRIBn.
In the absence of protection and in the event that TRIB 5 to TRIB 8 slots would be occupied, a PDH
card can be inserted in TRIB 2 or TRIB 1 to function in working mode provided that it is configured it
as following :
- the traffic of a working card in defect switches on a protection card itself in defect
- a working card is in breakdown and that no protection has been configured
The "Maintenance" menu allows, after repair or replacement, to select the card used for traffic.
This menu offers to the operator a manual switch, no reversible ; this switch will be refused if the
SWITCH HO/LO card is not operational.

If a second or third card is inserted in the shelf, it allows a function of 1:1 or 1:2 card protection.
As long as no problem appears, loads of power supply are distributed on the present cards ; if one of
them breaks down, loads are automatically balanced on the one or other cards.
Remarks :
Alarms will appear when a card is extracted from the shelf. To avoid the alarms and ALA 1
and ALA 2 loops from being fed back, the card should be declared as out of service.
Each module can be extracted or inserted without intervening on the other modules or on
their wiring. The only disturbance will concern the traffic in the concerned module.
Procedure :
The procedure described below can be applied, unless otherwise specified, to all the cards in
the equipment.
1. Switch any possible protected traffic to the redundant card. If the yellow "Traffic" indicator
LED goes off, the replacement will not result in any disturbance.
2. Set the card "out of service" using the web browser.
3. Remove the external connections from the front panel of the card.
NOTE : When the external optical fibers are disconnected, install the protected

Remarque :
If the equipment receives a SWITCH HO/LO card and if one only PSU card is inserted in the
shelf, the equipment went to degraded mode.
The CTRL-2G card can be extracted or inserted without disturbing the traffic transiting through an
ADR2500 eXtra.
Without a CTRL-2G card in the shelf, the automatic control functions relative to protection,
synchronization of the equipment and management of the shelf assembly are not fulfilled.
Exception : Even without a CTRL-2G card in place, switchover from a failing in traffic SWITCH
HO/LO card to its protection card is achieved. A CTRL-2G card is needed to put any card type
into service though.
If the CTRL-2G card inserted is different from that previously removed and no power
supply cutout has occurred since the card was extracted, the equipment configuration will
be preserved in its original condition. A date and time set operation is however required to
complete the equipment configuration procedure.
If a new CTRL-2G card is inserted in a shelf which is not powered up, the configuration
saved in the CTRL-2G card will be applied to the equipment on power up. A date and time
set operation is however required to complete the equipment configuration procedure.
Procedure :
1. Remove the external connections on the front panel of the card.2
3. Unscrew and remove the card observing the mandatory safety measures relative to

- incompatibility between the CTRL software and the current shelf configuration (database in
the CCU-2G card memory)
- incompatibility between the CTRL software and the shelf current states memory ("shelf hot

shelf power supply cut
- FPGA code change between already loaded codes in shelf cards and present codes in
CTRL-2G card Flash
- a GIG-E software code change between already loaded codes in shelf GIG-E cards and
present code in CTRL-2G card Flash
- a GFP150 eXtra software code change between already loaded codes in shelf GFP150
eXtra cards and present code in CTRL-2G card Flash
- a GFP2500 software code change between already loaded codes in shelf GFP2500-2GE
cards and present code in CTRL-2G card Flash
- only one operational PSU associated to a SWITCH HO/LO card (minimum 2 cards are
mandatory)

These cases correlate, either to CTRL-2G card replacement by a card with not updated Flash
software or to momentary shelf power supply cut when the software or the FPGA codes in CTRL
Flash are not all updated.
5.2 - CHARACTERIZATION
In case of software incompatibility, the switch on this degraded mode is indicated by the four LEDS of
CTRL-2G card which flash (switched on red status + minor alarm LEDS, then switched on green
status + major alarm LEDS).
The state of major and minor alarms output loops is not modified.
1) - The CTRL software code is not compatible with the FPGA codes of the Shelf, GIG-E, GFP150
eXtra or GFP2500 packs in Flash or some FPGA codes are missing in Flash.
The CTRL software version is not compatible with Fpga codes in Flash
If you start CTRL software, incompatible or missing Fpga codes
will not be loaded and some cards will be declared failed!!!
2) -The software code CTRL is not compatible with the GIG-E, GFP150 eXtra or GFP2500 software
codes or one of these software codes is missing in Flash (only if a GIG-E card or a GFP150 eXtra
card or a GFP2500-2GE card is configured in the shelf).
The CTRL software version is not compatible with Soft. codes in Flash
If you start CTRL software, incompatible or missing Soft. codes
will not be loaded and some cards will be declared failed!!!

some parts of Database can be reinitialized, if continue.
This case correlates to an older software CTRL than this which has generated the Shelf Database and
which is not compatible with this database
For example, if a CTRL-2G card with a level 2 CTRL software is replaced by a level 1
The Shelf Database is not compatible with CTRL software of the new CTRL-2G card
If you start CTRL software, part of Database (Configuration) will be lost !!!
and the transmission will be broken up to new configuration
4) -The software code of the inserted CTRL-2G card is compatible with the Shelf Database provided
some parts of this database are converted.
This case correlates to a more recent software CTRL than this which has generated the Shelf
Database and which must convert. some parts of this database
For example, if a CTRL-2G card with a level 1 CTRL software is replaced by a level 2
If conversion is accepted by the operator, then if later the previous CTRL-2G card (level 1) is inserted
again, the converted parts of database will be reinitialized (case 3).
The Shelf Database is compatible with CTRL software of the new CTRL-2G card
But will be convert to a new format ; if you continue and convert the database
you will not insert the previous CTRL-2G card without breaking part of database !!!
5) -The software code of the inserted CTRL-2G card is not compatible with the Shelf Hot Data ; some
parts of Hot Data can be reinitialized, if continue.
This case correlates to an older software CTRL than this which has generated the Shelf Hot Data and
which is not compatible with this Hot Data.
For example, if a CTRL-2G card with a level 2 CTRL software is replaced by a level 1
The Shelf Hot Data is not compatible with CTRL software of the new CTRL-2G card
If you start CTRL software, part of Hot Data will be lost
and transmission will be broken a few seconds
6) -The software code of the inserted CTRL-2G card is compatible with the Shelf Hot Data provided
some parts of this Hot Data are converted.
This case correlates to a more recent software CTRL than this which has generated the Shelf Hot
Data and which must convert. some parts of this Hot Data
For example, if a CTRL-2G card with a level 1 CTRL software is replaced by a level 2
If conversion is accepted by the operator, then if later the previous CTRL-2G card is inserted again
(level 1), the converted parts of Hot Data will be reinitialized (case 5).
The Shelf Hot Data is compatible with CTRL software of the new CTRL-2G card
But will be convert to a new format ; if you continue and convert Hot Data
you will not insert the previous CTRL-2G card without breaking transmission !!!
7) -Some FPGA codes,already loaded on cards, must be loaded again because new releases exist in
Flash.
If a FPGA code must be loaded again, the transmission will be broken during the loading time and the
commissioning card.
Some of Fpga codes will be loaded because the new CTRL-2G card contains
other Fpga Codes in Flash than those loaded in hardware
If you start CTRL software, transmission will be broken a few seconds

On codes upgrade or downgrade from GUI or from SNMP, the degraded mode is never used.
Nevertheless, we can have incompatibilities between the CTRL software and the FPGA codes or the
software codes of transmission cards.
In this case and if a momentary power supply cut appends, the CTRL-2G card software would fatally
switch in degraded mode, that can have unfortunate consequences as an intervention on the site.
In order to prevent these problems, a board defective alarm is positioned on the CTRL-2G card.as

GFP150 EXTRA CARD
All the services mentioned in this document can be performed between the GFP150 eXtra cards from ADR2500
eXtra but also between these cards and the DATA cards from ADR range, with equivalent services and
granularities.
Each ADR2500 eXtra can include up to six GFP150 eXtra cards which must take place in "TRIB 1" or "TRIB 2"
or "TRIB 5" to "TRIB 8" slots, in the left part of the slot.
This chapter has for objective to guide the user for the commissioning of the GFP150 eXtra card in the
ADR2500 eXtra. It gives simple examples which should be easily adapted to the needs.
The EPLine service (Ethernet Private Line) allows the point to point interconnection of Ethernet
10BaseT/100BaseTX flows 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 eXtra 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 the point to point interconnection of several
Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX flows through a SDH network by using over shared VCG (VC-Group) based
on virtual concatenation (VCAT). These flows 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 eXtra 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 the multipoint to multipoint interconnection of Ethernet
10BaseT/100BaseTX flows 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 eXtra 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 eXtra card includes a Switch function allowing Ethernet
10BaseT/100BaseTX multipoint to multipoint interconnection.

GFP150 EXTRA CARD
The EVPLAN service (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN) allows the multipoint to multipoint interconnection of
several Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX flows 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 eXtra card).It is therefore possible to put until 16 shared
traffic (VMAN) on a VCG. In the GFP150 eXtra card we can have 64 (63 if the MSTP protection is used)
different VMAN maximum.
In this case, each GFP150 eXtra card includes a Switch function allowing Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX
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 eXtra card is based on a traffic differentiation : metering, congestion control and
scheduling.

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 out coming 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

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) does not 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.

In the network below, we setup two Ethernet 100BaseTX LAN spanning over 4 sites connected to an ADR2500
eXtra.
To the difference of the EPLAN service, the two LAN use the same VCG to circulate, it is possible with the
sharing in the same VCG. For this the VCG ports of the N1, N2, N3 and N4 equipment must be configured in
fashion NNI tagged.
In this example, 2 and 4 sites play the role of a full bridge : Ethernet frames can be forwarded between all
remote sites based on MAC address learning.
Each inter-site link of the bus topology is configured to transport a load of 20Mbps (12 VC12). Similarly, on each
ADR2500 eXtra, the Ethernet interface connected to the bus is policed at 10Mbps.

A sink probe that treats the multicast frame, and a time-out (by default 10 secondes in the eXtra).
In the example of the figure N1, a source probe is declared in the equipment N1 and a sink probe in the
equipment N2 on the same VMANi, that allows the monitoring of the VMANi customer traffic between
equipment N1 and equipment N2 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 N2 and a sink probe on the equipment N1.
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 eXtra 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

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 eXtra 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 eXtra card provides various QoS functions. These functions format outgoing traffic flows on all
interfaces. Namely:
Functional diagram
The GFP150 eXtra QoS can be represented by the following diagram. It includes:
a block of metering and policing,
two waiting queues, one file (TC0) in Low priority and one queue (TC1) in SP (Strict Priority)
a scheduler mechanism for outgoing theses packets of theses queues toward the exit port.
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).

Rate control of GFP150 eXtra card 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 eXtra 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 eXtra 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 eXtra card:
The QoS parameters strictly apply to the Ethernet traffic. The overhead generated by GFP encapsulation is not
accounted for in these rates.

GFP150 EXTRA CARD
The GFP150 eXtra 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 extra 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
and 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 eXtra 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 eXtra. 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 VCs.
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 link 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

6.2.5.1 - Description of the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol on the GFP150 eXtra
card
The GFP150 eXtra 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 eXtra 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 eXtra 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 eXtra card permanently exchanges control packets called "BPDUs " with all
other GFP150 eXtra 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.

However, the MSTP implementation on the GFP150 eXtra 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 eXtra card from BPDUs sent by any other Ethernet bridge
(which would logically use the standard address).
The GFP150 eXtra cards are useful to interconnect client Ethernet LANs across a network providers 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 ADR2500 eXtra, the GFP150 eXtra 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 ADR2500 eXtra 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 eXtra card is submitted to a Licence. To activate this Licence, proceed as
following :
1) note the GFP150 eXtra 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.

Nota :
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 ADR2500 eXtra 1 and
3 is added. The final topology works like a ring.
First the 4 ADR2500 eXtra 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 EXTRA CARD
The GFP150 eXtra 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 eXtra 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 6.2.2.1.1 -, for the VCG#1 interface, create the 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. The 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 6-9).
Click on the Connection tap. Configure the connections from VC12#1 to VC12#6 of the GFP150 eXtra 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 ADR2500 eXtra.

1. The configuration of the Ethernet interface must be identical between the GFP150 eXtra 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 "
(Admin Status ticked "Down"). The interface is configured to "ON " (Admin Status 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 eXtra 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 100BaseTX
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 dont 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
6.5.3 -and 6.5.4 -
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
ADR2500 eXtra, it must be taken into account.
Note than all VCG VC3 based in the GFP150 eXtra card cant use more than 2 VC3.

We suppose customer Ethernet interfaces CIR and PIR in the link are already configured.
In point to point (EPLine service), the minimal number N of VC12 necessary for transmitting a CIR of E
Mbit/sec at the customer Ethernet interface is :
This calculation takes into account GFP header with FCS OFF. When FCS is ON, replace 1.125 with 1.1875.
Note that in this case, the customer Ethernet interface remote rate must equals E and we advise to configure
PIR=CIR.
Example :
If we suppose E=PIR=20Mbit/sec
We obtain N=UPPER_ROUND_NUMBER(20*1.125/2.176)=UPPER_ROUND_NUMBER(10.34)=11 (46)
In all cases, we advise after the configuration of customers interfaces Ethernet CIR/PIR and the corresponding
VCG, to configure Ethernet over SDH interfaces CIR/PIR as CIR=PIR=VCG payload.
We suppose customer Ethernet interfaces CIR and PIR in the link are already configured.
In point to point (EPLine service), the minimal number N of VC3 necessary for transmitting a CIR of E

This calculation takes into account GFP header with FCS OFF. When FCS is ON, replace 1.125 with 1.1875.

During the creation of S-Vlan three operations of tag are possible (Switch menu > New case) :
- None : no tag is added to the frames of this service. This configuration allows an optimum use of the
band-width. If this choice of tag is carried out, only classification Point To Point will be offered for
S-Vlan.
- Add : a S-Vlan tag will be added to each frame belonging to the S-Vlan and entering on a UNI-N port.
This tag will contain the seized value of S-Vlan, the priority defined for the S-Vlan (see 7.1.3 -) and the
Ethertype field defined in the Global Setting window.
Remark : The taggage is removed on the outgoing on an UNI port or a NNI port classified in
PortBased.

- Replace : the C-Vlan field of the C-Vlan tag of the frames entering on the UNI-N port will be replaced
by the value of S-Vlan. In this configuration only C-Vlan classification will be authorized and no range of
C-Vlan could be defined
The class of priority of the frames from 0 to 7 could also be defined in this window at the time of the
creation of S-Vlan (the default value is 0).
7.1.2 - Classification
The S-Vlan being created, for each port of the S-Vlan a rule of classification will be defined :
- Classification based on "Port" : all the frames received on this port are associated to the S-Vlan.
The frames outgoing on this port will not be tagged S-Vlan.

For each S-Vlan the class of priority of the frames is defined from 0 to 7 (S-Vlan List > CoS menu). In
this configuration the same priority will be allotted to all the frames of the S-Vlan.
It is also possible to choose the mode User Priority. In this case the priority of each frame of the S-Vlan
will be defined according to the configuration of the table proposed in the screen Switch > Port Priority.
In this screen, for each value of the priority field of the coming C-Tag, it is defined a priority associated
with all the frames having this value of priority field.

This chapter has for objective to guide the user for the commissioning of the GFP2500 card in the ADR2500
eXtra. It gives simple examples which should be easily adapted to the needs.
The EPLine service (Ethernet Private Line) allows the point to point interconnection of Ethernet 1 Gigabit
flows 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 2 independent point to point connections per GFP2500 card. Rate granularity
for each VCG is based either on VC3, or on VC4. With each VCG, it is possible to concatenate from 1 to 12
VC3 or from 1 to 4 VC4 in STM4 mode, from 1 to 21 VC3 or from 1 to 7 VC4 in STM16 mode. Only the
VCG#1, 7, 13 and 19 offfer a rate equal to or higher than 100 Mbit/s.
In STM4 mode, the sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 2 GE ports, cannot be
above the STM4 payload (about 622 Mbit/s).
In STM16 mode, the sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 2 GE ports, cannot be
above the STM16 payload (about 2400 Mbit/s).
The EVPLine service (Ethernet Virtual Private Line) allows the point to point interconnection of several
Ethernet 1 Gigabit flows through a SDH network by using over shared VCG (VC-Group) based on virtual
concatenation (VCAT) ; these flows are separated by Tag S-Vlan, that adds a level of VLAN in relation to
the possible VLANs of Customers.
It is possible to put until 256 shared traffic (S-Vlan) on a VCG. In the GFP2500 card we can have
256 different S-Vlan maximum, whose 63 for the MSTP protection (S-Vlan =4032-4094). The rate
granularity for each VCG is the same as EPLine.
The EPLAN service (Ethernet Private LAN) allows the multipoint to multipoint interconnection of Ethernet 1
Gigabit flows 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 22 independent connections per GFP2500 card. Rate granularity for each VCG
is based either on VC3, or on VC4. With each VCG, it is possible to concatenate from 1 to 12 VC3 or from 1
to 4 VC4 in STM4 mode, from 1 to 21 VC3 or from 1 to 7 VC4 in STM16 mode. Only the VCG#1, 7, 13 and
19 offfer a rate equal to or higher than 100 Mbit/s.
In STM4 mode, the sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 2 GE ports, cannot be
above the STM4 payload (about 622 Mbit/s).
In STM16 mode, the sum of the concatenated Ethernet rates, on the whole of the 2 GE ports, cannot be
above the STM16 payload (about 2400 Mbit/s).
In this service, each GFP2500 card includes a Switch function allowing Ethernet multipoint to multipoint
interconnection.

Note : The Ethernet interface of the remote equipment (switch, IP router, PC, ) connected to the GFP2500
card MUST always be configured the same way. Due to possible interoperability issues with Auto-
Negotiation between equipment 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.
Network Interface
Select the UNI-N mode (User to Network Interface Network) : this type of interface corresponds to an
customer interface which can offer up to 256 services per port (256 services max per card). On these interfaces
the provider OAM management frames and the provider BPDU MSTP frames are filtered : they are not sent to
the customer network.
The I-NNI choice (Internal Network to Network Interface) corresponds to a provider interface with provider
S-VLan tag. This interface is used to connect with a PCP encoding aware data card ; there is no metering on
I-NNI port. This interface is used between GFP2500 cards.
The E-NNI choice (External Network to Network Interface) corresponds to a provider interface with or without
provider S-VLan tag.This interface is suggested to connect with a PCP encoding unaware data card ; there is
metering on E-NNI port. This interface is used between GFP2500 cards and other Data cards.

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 1 Gigabit full duplex, the load of traffic between the remote sites and
the central site is as following:
remote sites 1 and 2 : 100Mbps (2VC3),
remote site 3 : 50Mbps (1VC3).
The sum of the data rates going to the central site is 250Mbps. 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) doesnt go over
200Mbps ; 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.
When no traffic can pass between the 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 connections as described in the previous section ( 7.3.2.2 -).

To the difference of the EPLAN service, the two LAN use the same VCG to circulate, it is possible with the
sharing in the same VCG. The two created S-Vlan must be in Tag Process "Add".
In this example, 2 and 4 sites play the role of a full bridge : Ethernet frames can be forwarded between all
remote sites based on MAC address learning.
Each inter-site link of the bus topology is configured to transport a load of 200Mbps (4 VC3). Similarly, on each
ADR2500 eXtra, the Ethernet interface connected to the bus is policed at 100Mbps.

A source probe that transmits a multicast frame periodically (by default 10 seconds in the extra) toward
sink probes. A probe source can transmit towards several sink probes.
A sink probe that treats the multicast frame, and a time-out (by default 10 seconds in the eXtra).
In the example of the figure 8-41, a source probe is declared in the equipment N1 and a sink probe in the
equipment N2 on the same S-Vlan, that allows the monitoring of the S-Vlan customer traffic between
equipment N1 and equipment N2 in one direction
To supervise the other direction of this S-Vlan it is necessary to add two supplementary probes, a source probe
on the equipment N2 and a sink probe on the equipment N1.
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 256 and the number of sink probes is limited to 256, per GFP2500
card.
The frame multicast OAM is not distributed on the UNI-N port (customer), it is distributed on NNI ports.

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 GFP2500 card and a 4E/FE or xGE-DM card.
The provider OAMcc frames are not filtered by the 4E/FE or xGE-DM cards and are forwarded to the customer
network.
The GFP2500 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
S-Vlan with these different queues of transmission (TC: Traffic Class) as well as the means of outgoing
(scheduling in priority the SP (Strict Priority) file until its shaping is reached).

Rate control of GFP2500 card compares the temporal characteristics of received traffic (based on the rate and
size 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 GFP2500 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 GFP2500 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 S-Vlan, a traffic profile must be configured to be used with traffic entering that
interface.
Traffic profiles
Traffic profiles use the following parameters on the GFP2500 card:
The QoS parameters strictly apply to the Ethernet traffic. The overhead generated by GFP encapsulation is not
accounted for in these rates.

The GFP2500 card uses a standard algorithm to control the distribution of resources between classes of service
WRR (Weight Round Robin) and SP (Strict Priority) in order to manage congestion phases.
The QOS configuration in the GFP2500 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 "CoS for S-Vlan Id based on 802.1ad priority" field configuration by clicking on "S-Vlan List
> CoS" link (between 0 and 7 and user defined). To a priority data (configured for the S-Vlan on UNI-N or E-NNI
ports or extracted from tag priority on the I-NNI ports) corresponds a traffic class :
In the current version of GFP2500 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 GFP2500. 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 over SDH port configured with a
small number of VCs.
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 S-Vlan (see Configuring the Ethernet Switch for each example).
Instructions are different to configure a traffic profile on ports already associated with a S-Vlan. Click on the
Switch link and on the S-Vlan List link. Select the case of the concerned S-Vlan and click on the
"S-Vlan Configuration" link. Then three commands are available :
Add Port : use this link to add a new port in a S-Vlan with a traffic profile
Delete Port : use this link to remove a port from a S-Vlan and remove the associated traffic profile
Modify Port : use this link to change the traffic profile associated with a S-Vlan configured on a port

The priority affectation to a customer (S-Vlan) is done via the "CoS for S-Vlan Id based on 802.1ad priority"
field configuration by clicking on "S-Vlan List > CoS" link (between 0 and 7 and user defined). The values 6 and
7 are the most important values because they use the SP (Figure 7-11 : Class of Priority).
Bandwidth (CoS0,1,2) : this parameter allows to limit the rate at exit of a class of traffic to a certain percentage
of the band-width of the port. A value of 100% of this parameter means that there is no more limitation.
WRR (CoS0,1,2) : (Weight Round Robin) weights used by the mechanism of unstacking of the classes of traffic
0 to 2 (scheduling). More the weight is high more the associated CoS will emit frames.

7.3.5.1 - Description of the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol on the GFP2500 card
The GFP2500 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.
- MSTP must be desable on a flow created between a GFP2500 card and a 4E/FE or xGE-DM card. The
provider BPDU MSTP frames are not filtered by the 4E/FE or xGE-DM cards and are forwarded to the customer
network.
On the GFP2500 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 GFP2500 card permanently exchanges control packets called "BPDUs " with all
other GFP2500 or 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 S-Vlan of which the identifying is between 4032 and 4094 can use
MSTP. Therefore, MSTP can only be used on 63 S-Vlan.
Warning :
- The S-Vlan Id of an activated S-Vlan cannot be modified ; this S-Vlan must be formerly suppressed.
- The sharing of a S-Vlan using MSTP (S-Vlan Id from 4032 to 4094) with a S-Vlan without MSTP (S-Vlan Id
from 2 to 4031) can possibly break the traffic associated to the S-Vlan without MSTP because of the port state
in the CIST.

However, the MSTP implementation on the GFP2500 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 GFP2500 card from BPDUs sent by any other Ethernet bridge (which
would logically use the standard address).
The GFP2500 cards are useful to interconnect client Ethernet LANs across a network providers 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 ADR2500 eXtra, the GFP2500 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 ADR2500 eXtra 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 GFP2500 card is submitted to a Licence. To activate this Licence, proceed as
following :
1) note the GFP2500 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 ADR2500 eXtra 1 and
3 is added. The final topology works like a ring.
First the 4 ADR2500 eXtra 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 to :
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" state.
(*) Warning : the used S-Vlan for MSTP should have a VMAM Id between 4032 and 4094 ; it will be 4032 for
this example.

LCAS is useful to :
Dynamically add or remove VC members from a VCG without deactivating the VCG (reducing traffic
disturbance)
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 GFP2500 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.
Click on the Connection tap. Configure the connections VC3#1_1 and VC3#1_22 of the GFP2500 card in way
where 1 VC3 go through a SDH card and the other VC3 go through a second SDH card. Make sure you have
end-to-end SDH connectivity with the remote ADR2500 eXtra.
By proceeding in the same way as to the 7.3.2.1.1 -, for the VCG#1 interface create a group of 2
concatenated VC3 that will be used to transport Ethernet traffic (VC3#1_1 and VC3#1_22).

The Link aggregation function implemented in the GFP card allows to define a logical Ethernet interface made
up of 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
This function consists in offering an interface having a physical rate of 2 Gigabit. The distribution of the traffic on
the physical Gigabit Ethernet ports is based on the value of the MAC addresses source and destination of the
entering frames.
The configuration of the logical interface is that of the port defined as being the MASTER.
If one of the Gigabit Ethernet links had suddenly been defective, the logical link would function in degraded
mode with a capacity equal to that of the Gigabit Ethernet link always operational.

VCG trunk function defines a logical interface made up of 2 VCG ports. GFP2500 card supports up to 2 groups
of VCG trunk.
To create a VCG trunk, the bandwidth of both VCG ports must be more than 100Mbps, and it is recommended
that both VCG ports have the same bandwidth.
A VCG trunk offers a logical interface with a physical rate that equals to the sum of the bandwidth of both VCG
ports.The distribution of the traffic on the physical VCG ports is based on the value of the source and destination
MAC addresses of the frames.
The configuration of the logical interface is applied through the VCG port defined as MASTER.
If one of the two VCG ports had suddenly been defective, the logical link would function in degraded mode with
a capacity equal to one VCG port.

1. The configuration of the Ethernet interface must be identical between the GFP2500 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"
(Admin Status ticked "Down"). The interface is configured to "ON " (Admin Status 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 GFP2500 card is corresponding to the payload
available at the Ethernet interface.
This rate corresponds to the MTU (from 64 to 1548 bytes including 6 Bytes @dest, 6 Bytes @src, 2 Bytes
lgd frame, 2 bytes 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 1 Gigabit
interface is used to the maximum of its capacity (end to end frames at 1 Gigabit/sec), payload rate in 1
Gigabit is 762.9Mbit/sec for 64 Bytes MTU frames and 987.2Mbit/sec for 1548 Bytes MTU frames.
Because we dont 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. It should be noted that
the GFP protocol adds an 8 Bytes header (12 Bytes when the GFP FCS is ON), header taken into account
in 7.6.3 -and 7.6.4 -
Note that even if we know how to configure a CIR rate upper than 1 and under 1000 Mbit/sec at the customer
Ethernet interface, some normal limitations are to be taken into account :
The maximum rate is 987.2Mbit/sec with a limitation to 762.9Mbit/sec for a customer flow including only
64 Bytes length frames, even if the configuration is CIR=1000Mbit/sec.
When the VCG is a VC3-2V, the Ethernet rate is limited to 96.27Mbit/sec by taken into account the GFP
header in the VC3-2V payload (VC3-2V payload is 96.768Mbit/sec). It is impossible in this case to
obtain an Ethernet rate upper 96Mbit/sec.
We suppose customer Ethernet interfaces CIR and PIR in the link are already configured.
In point to point (EPLine service), the minimal number N of VC4 necessary for transmitting a CIR of
E Mbit/sec at the customer Ethernet interface is :
N = UPPER_ROUND_NUMBER(E*1.125/Dvc4) and N7
This calculation takes into account GFP header with FCS OFF. When FCS is ON, replace 1.125 with 1.1875.
It should be noted that in this case, the customer Ethernet interface remote rate must equals E and we advise to
configure PIR=CIR.

Example :
If we suppose E=PIR=200Mbit/sec
We obtain N=UPPER_ROUND_NUMBER(200*1.125/149.760)=UPPER_ROUND_NUMBER(1.502)=2 (7)
In all cases, we advise after the configuration of customers interfaces Ethernet CIR/PIR and the corresponding
VCG to configure Ethernet over SDH interfaces CIR/PIR as CIR=PIR=VCG bandwidth.
We suppose customer Ethernet interfaces CIR and PIR in the link are already configured.
In point to point (EPLine service), the minimal number N of VC3 necessary for transmitting a CIR of

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IP NETWORK ADRESSING PLAN
This appendix provides a brief description of the rules implemented in building a TMN based on
an IP protocol stack.
The IP protocol stack is used in a data transmission network to transport data in the form of
packets between two points in the network.
Depending on the ISO model, IP is the network layer protocol. It is therefore in charge, within
each node, of routing the packets so that they can be routed in the network.
The protocols located below the IP correspond to the link and physical layers: these protocols
set up the links between two consecutive nodes in the network.
The protocols "above" the IP (TCP and UDP) are transport layer protocols. These protocols fulfil
end-to-end data transmission between two distant points in the network. The protocols based
on the TCP/UDP are application-oriented: they provide services such as file transfer (TFTP on
UDP, FTP on TCP), equipment management (SNMP), mail transfer (SMTP), etc.
The figure below describes how the main protocols acting in a network node are stacked.

Note: The MAC protocol is attached to the Ethernet physical port (point to multi-point media)
and the PPP protocol is attached to the physical ports ensuring the point-to-point links
(optical media, microwave, V11,...)

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IP NETWORK ADRESSING PLAN
A.2 - IP ADDRESSING
To route packets within a node, the IP uses an addressing mechanism: depending on the
destination address contained in the packet, the IP determines (by scanning its routing table)
the nearby router to which it must send the packet and deduces the physical interface on which
the packet must be sent. The term "router" and "equipment" will be used indifferently in the
discussions which follow.
The length of the first field depends on the class to which the address belongs. The length of
the "subnet" and "host" fields is defined by a mask associated to the address. There are three
address classes:
class A: the NET field is coded on the first byte; the three other bytes are reserved for the
SUBNET and HOST fields. The class A addresses vary from 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.254 ,
class B: the NET field is coded on the first two bytes; the other two bytes are reserved for
the SUBNET and HOST fields. The class B addresses vary from 128.0.0.0 to
191.255.255.254 ,
class C: the NET field is coded on the first three bytes; the last byte is reserved for the
SUBNET and HOST fields. The class C addresses vary from 192.0.0.0 to
223.255.255.254. ; up to 254 equipment can belong to a single class C IP network (having the
same NET).
Note: Addresses beginning by 127 and addresses containing "1" or "0" in the SUBNET and
HOST fields are prohibited.
Note: The IP standard allows that the SUBNET and HOST fields be coded on a number
of bits which does not correspond to a byte border. In general, this is not implemented
for address readability reasons and since most of the routing daemon (RIP)
implementations do not support this function.
The SUBNET field is defined by a mask which is written in the form: 255.255.255.0,
255.255.0.0, 255.0.0.0, etc: the number of bits at zero in the right hand part of the mask defines
the length of the HOST field. Ex: for address 40.2.2.2 associated to mask 255.255.255.0, the
NET field takes the value 40, the SUBNET field takes the value 2.2 and the HOST field
takes the value 2.

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IP NETWORK ADRESSING PLAN
A global IP network must be subdivided into N networks each having a "NET" number.
Within each network, each physical link (point-to-point or multipoint) has its own SUBNET
number.
Each equipment connected to this link (2 for a point-to-point link, N for an Ethernet segment)
has its own "HOST" number.
Depending on the number of equipment and links, class A, B and C addresses and
SUBNETs encoded on one or two types will be used.
To conclude, a pair formed by an IP address and its SUBNET mask shall be associated to
each interface of a network node.
Where static tables are used, each network node must have its routing table completed to allow
it to correctly route the packets received.
All IP routes of a routing table for a given equipment comprise the following fields:
destination @IP: refers to the IP address of the equipment or sub-network (or even
network) to be reached from the given equipment,
subnet mask: sub-network mask associated to the IP address defined in destination
@IP ; all equipment whose IP address part defined by the 1 bits of this field correspond
to the same value as the destination @IP part defined by this same mask will be
reachable via this route,
next hop @IP: IP address of next equipment (connected directly with given equipment) to
which the packet will be sent,
metric (this can also be understood as "cost" or distance): value from 1 to 15 indicating the
number of hops to reach the equipment corresponding to the destination @IP address. 16
corresponds to infinite for the RIP routing daemon. This field is only used by a possible
routing daemon to choose a preferential route when several routes are available for the
same destination. This field can always be filled in with 1 to simplify if use of the field is not
necessary,
interf.: interface number for interface by which next equipment will be reached (whose IP
address is next hop @IP).
Note : When interface IP addresses are declared, implicit static routes are set up to the
associated SUBNETs. It is therefore not necessary to define static routes to join two
equipment belonging to a single SUBNET.
Note: The IP addresses of an equipment are the addresses of its interfaces (or ports)
configured. The manager only knows one IP address per equipment. Therefore, the so-
called Equipment IP address is often the address filled in the manager database. This
is the address of the port by which the equipment normally dialogues with the manager.
Note: To use 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.
We recommend that you leave the HOST 1 number free on each subnet, meaning that
you begin to number the equipment starting with the HOST 2 number. The PC will then
always take an IP address of the type: NET.SUBNET.1
Note : A default router can be defined (this option is sometimes available) to which all packets
which cannot be routed by the routing table are transmitted.

The RIP routing daemon for TCP/IP networks is based on the area and Autonomous System
(AS) principles, each having a different NET number.
An area contains a set of routers in a single geographical space.
An autonomous system (AS) contains a set of areas organized hierarchically with a
backbone area.
The RIP routing daemon periodically distributes all of its routing table. This makes this protocol
slower than the OSPF protocol. On the other hand, the RIP selects its active routes only on
the basis of the number of hops, i.e. the number routers crossed in a AS to reach a network.
On the other hand, the metric used by the OSPF protocol integrates other parameters.
Each AS is a RIP routing domain limited to a distance of 15 hops (max.) between two
equipment exchanging packets within the AS . The maximum distance is taken into account
to include the worst case network protection scenario.
These ASs are separate with respect to each other (within RIP) and connected by isolation
networks. Each isolation network, formed by a single Ethernet or point-to-point link, has its own
NET number.
The interfaces used with equipment belonging to an isolation network must be filtered (RIP
filtering option activated on interfaces) to inhibit export of RIP routing table automatic updates.
This equipment uses "border" typed interfaces.
Within an "AS", all the equipment must have their RIP routing daemon activated. Within each
"AS", each link connecting two equipment is described by a specific SUBNET value.
Routing from one AS to another AS via an isolation network is described by static routes.
In the example given above, NET 128.1 corresponds to an isolation network and NET
160.1. and 150.1 correspond to ASs in which RIP protocols are active.

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IP NETWORK ADRESSING PLAN
The OSPF routing daemon for IP networks is based on the same principle as the RIP
daemon except that the OSPF computes the routes using several parameters defined by the
administrator: link rate, cost of communication, number of hops, etc. This protocol also provides
for routing on areas of unlimited size.
Within an autonomous system AS, the border routers do not distribute all the routes, but only
route intervals, thus eliminating the need for a portion of the static routing tables.
