Organization

The Access Volume is organized as follows:

Features

Description

CPOS Interface

CPOS, the channelized POS interface, enhances aggregation of low-speed ports, and improves the capacity of leased-line access.

l CPOS interface overview

l CPOS interface configuration

l E1 channel configuration

l T1 channel configuration

POS Interface

Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) is a technology popular in WAN and MAN. It can support packet data such as IP packets.

l POS port overview

l POS port configuration

Ethernet Interface

The volume describes Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.

l General Ethernet interface configuration

l Layer 2 Ethernet interface configuration

l Layer 3 Ethernet interface/subinterface configuration

WAN Interface

The volume describes the CE1 and CT1 WAN interfaces.

GVRP

The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is a GARP application.

l GVRP configuration

l GARP timer configuration

HDLC

High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) is a bit-oriented link layer protocol. Its most prominent feature is that it can transmit any types of bit stream transparently.

l HDLC overview

l HDLC configuration

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation aggregates multiple physical Ethernet ports into one logical link, also called a logical group

l Link aggregation overview and types

l Link aggregation configuration

Port Mirroring

Port mirroring allows you to duplicate packets passing through a specific port (source port) to another port (destination port) connected with a data monitoring device for network monitoring and diagnosis.

l Local port mirroring configuration

l Remote port mirroring configuration

PPP

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a link layer protocol that carries network layer packets over point-to-point links.

l PPP configuration

l MP configuration

RPR

Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a new MAC layer protocol designed for transferring mass data services over MANs. It provides flexible and efficient networking schemes for broadband IP MANs carriers.

l RPR overview

l Protection mode configuration

l Bandwidth reservation and rate limiting

l Port type configuration

MSTP

The multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) overcomes the shortcomings of STP and RSTP. It provides a better load sharing mechanism for redundant links.

l Root bridge configuration

l Leaf node configuration

l Performing mCheck

l Digest snooping configuration

l No Agreement Check configuration

l Protection function configuration

VLAN

The volume describes VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration.

l Basic VLAN configuration

l Basic VLAN interface configuration

l Port-based VLAN configuration

QinQ

QinQ enables a service provider to serve customer networks comprising multiple VLANs by using a single VLAN.

l QinQ overview

l Basic QinQ configuration

l TPID value for QinQ frame configuration

BPDU Tunneling

l BPDU tunneling overview

l BPDU transparent transmission configuration

l Configuration of destination multicast MAC address for BPDU tunnel frames

Port Isolation

To save VLAN resources, port isolation is introduced to isolate ports within a VLAN, allowing for great flexibility and security.

l Port isolation overview

l Isolation group configuration

Logical Interface

Logical interfaces are virtual interfaces capable of data exchange but do not exist physically.

l Loopback interface configuration

l Null interface configuration

l RPR logical interface configuration

l Subinterface configuration

l MP-group interface configuration

Ethernet OAM

Ethernet OAM (operation, administration, and maintenance) is a network monitoring tool.

l Basic Ethernet OAM functions configuration

l Configuration of periods and thresholds for Ethernet OAM link error event detection

l OAM loopback testing configuration

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a technology based on packet transmission mode while incorporating the high speed of circuit transmission mode.

l ATM interface configuration

l ATM subinterface configuration

l PVC parameters configuration

l Configuration of applications carried by ATM

VLAN Termination

VLAN termination is mainly used for communication between different VLANs, and communication between LANs and WANs.

l VLAN termination overview

l TPID configuration for VLAN packets

l Configuration of QinQ termination
