Ethernet Management Guide About this information product

How to use this In the broadest sense, this Ethernet Management Guide contains:
information product
• Conceptual information, which is specific data related to the
tasks
• Task information, which includes user tasks (that is, step-by-step
instructions)
The conceptual information complements and enhances the
step-by-step instructions that are found in each task. Use the
conceptual information to broaden your general knowledge of the
management system. It is best if you read all conceptual information
and have a good understanding of the concepts being presented before
undertaking the step-by-step instructions given in any task.
The task information is based on a user needs analysis that has been
performed for each management system user job; therefore, use the
task information to get the job at hand done quickly and with minimal
system impact.
The conceptual and task information portions of the document have
extensive hyperlinks. Use these links to toggle between the two types
of information presented so you can access all pertinent information
related to particular concepts and tasks.
This document can be used in its on-line versions (HTML/PDF) or in
paper version (print PDF). The on-line HTML document version has a
search capability, a full table of contents in the front matter of the
document and a partial table of contents in each chapter, and an index
for each document and for the entire management system library. Use
all of these tools to help find information quickly. However, be aware
that the index for each document in the management system library
and the index for the entire management system library are the
preferred search tools.

Conventions used The conceptual information typically introduces each chapter or

section of each chapter. The information presented in this area varies
according to the topic being explained—sections, subsections, tables,
figures, and screen captures can be commonly found.
The task information is presented as series of tasks that follows the
conceptual information. These tasks are typically presented in the

Ethernet Management Guide About this information product

following functional order, depending on the nature of the subject

being explained:
• View a List of . . .
• View the Details of . . .
• Add . . .
• Modify . . .
• Delete . . .
Each task consists of sections that are called When to use, Before you
begin, Related information, and Task.
The intent of the When to use, Before you begin, and Related
information sections is self-explanatory—they explain when a task is
to be used, what needs to be considered or done before you begin the
task, and any related information that you would need to know while
doing the task.
When a task does not have any conditions that must be considered
before it is started, the Before you begin section for that task
states: This task does not have any preconditions.
Each Task section consists of any number of steps. The completion of
all steps, which are sequentially numbered, are required for the entire
task to be completed successfully. In some instances, a step might be
prefaced with the wording Optional, which indicates that the step can
be skipped and the task can still be successfully completed. A task is
considered to be completed when all of its steps are completed and
when the wording End of Steps appears.
Many times, the management system affords the user with multiple
ways to accomplish the same task. In these instances, one task can
present the user with several Methods of how to accomplish the same
set of steps successfully.

In addition, this Ethernet Management Guide relies on the following

typographical conventions to distinguish between user input and
computer output.
• When describing the Navis® OMS software, fields in windows
and field entries are identified with this font.
• When describing the UNIX® environment, text and numbers that
the user inputs to the computer are identified with boldface
type.
• In the UNIX® environment, text and numbers that the computer
outputs to the user are identified with monospace type.
This Ethernet Management Guide uses the following convention to
indicate a path of pages that should be navigated through to arrive at
a destination page:
• Connections > Ethernet Orders
This same convention is also used to show a path through a series of
menu items, for example:
• Click the filtering tool, and select Node > Node Type.
A small set of management system features is not supported for all
NEs or for both operating environments. This small set of features is
clearly marked to show these exceptions.

Related documentation This Ethernet Management Guide is part of a set of documents that
supports the Navis® OMS. An on-line version, in HTML format, of
this document set is available on CD-ROM. The Navis® OMS User

Definition Lucent’s Navis® OMS is an integrated, modular system that offers a

range of network element (NE), network connection, and service/order
management functions. It links the management of traditional network
equipment with next-generation technology and offers distribution
options that can grow with network expansion. Navis® OMS controls
service-restoration properties within the network, and complements
this service-quality management with its own high-availability
configurations.
Navis® OMS offers the benefits of fast service activation,
state-of-the-art provisioning, reduced operating and equipment costs,
accurate record keeping, fault management, and fast problem
resolution. In addition, the management system can discover much of
the information about NEs and network connections, instead of
requiring that information to be entered manually, which minimizes
network operator effort and reduces errors.

About the software Navis® OMS is run through an Internet browser-based Graphical User
Interface (GUI)—it is a weblication that runs through a browser. It
supports the standard web features that a browser offers, such as
bookmarks, back, forward, reload, and print.
In addition, the management system provides standard
machine-to-machine interfaces so it can be easily integrated into the
embedded operations environment of the service provider.

Support for both the The management system supports both the Synchronous Optical
SONET and SDH transport Network (SONET) and the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
structures transport structures. The particular transport structure to be used is
controlled by an installation parameter; refer to the Navis® OMS
Administration Guide for details.

User role profiles When a user account is created, it is assigned a user role profile,
which restricts the tasks that the user login can perform. The

Product Overview Introduction

management system offers these three predefined user role profiles,

which are referred to as factory-defined user role profiles:
• NOC Administrator
• NOC Expert Operator
• NOC Operator
In addition, the management system allows the creation of a
user-defined user role profile, which is a user role profile that
consists of a customized list of tasks that is specific to the job
responsibilities of the user.
The assignment of certain user role profiles is critical to the Ethernet
Management Feature. Refer to Step 2 when setting up Ethernet
transport and the Navis® OMS Administration Guide for more
information about installation parameters.

Installation parameters An installation parameter is a parameter that is set during installation

of the management system and can control the behavior of a feature.
The assignment of certain parameter values is critical to the Ethernet
Management Feature. Refer to Step 1 when setting up Ethernet
Transport and the Navis® OMS Administration Guide for details.

User Activity Log All provisioning changes done using the management system are
logged in the User Activity Log. For detailed information about the
User Activity Log, refer to the Navis® OMS Provisioning Guide.
Although it is not stated as part of the results for every task in this
document, you can assume that all tasks that result in a provisioning
change are logged to the User Activity Log.
The Ethernet Management feature creates a User Activity Log entry
when any of the following user-initiated activities is performed:
• Add a new virtual switch network
• Modify a virtual switch network
• Delete a virtual switch network
• Add a new service
• Modify an existing service
• Delete an existing service
• Cancel an Ethernet order
• Move an Ethernet order to in-effect

• Force move an Ethernet order to in-effect

• Complete an Ethernet order
• Force complete an Ethernet order
• Perform a partial database synchronization feature for Ethernet
services

Introduction

Supported Network Elements

The management system The Navis® OMS supports Lucent’s family of optical NEs. To
and its supported NEs accommodate the world of optical transmission standards, these NEs
operate using different transport structures and they support different
native command languages. Refer to “Summary of supported NEs”
(1-5) for a list of the particular NEs and the releases of those NEs that
the management system supports.

The SDH and SONET Lucent’s NEs are designed to operate in the Synchronous Digital
transport structures Hierarchy (SDH) operating environment, the Synchronous Optical
Network (SONET) operating environment, or both environments.
Refer to “Summary of supported NEs” (1-5) for a list of the transport
structure of each supported NE.

The TL1 and CMISE native Each NE supports a native command language that is used to control
command languages the NE at the network-element-level via the Command Interface
Terminal (CIT).
The management system supports NEs that are controlled with the
following two different native command languages:
• TL1
• CMISE
The management system uses the native command language of the NE
to implement some of its features; consequently, differences in
management system behavior can be attributed to one native
command language or another, which is why this categorization is
significant. Therefore, throughout this document, references are made
to TL1 NEs or CMISE NEs.
Refer to “Summary of supported NEs” (1-5) for a list of the native
command language of each supported NE and to “Circuit packs and
CMISE-NE behavior” (2-9) for important details regarding creating
Ethernet services.

feature definition allows the efficient, rapid provisioning and activation of Ethernet
services in a transport network, which includes the latest generation of
hybrid technology NEs that are equipped to offer Ethernet switching
and routing capabilities along with traditional transport technologies
(such as SONET and SDH).

Ethernet Management Using a set of simple but powerful tools provided through an
feature advantages intuitive, point-and-click web-based interface, the Ethernet
Management feature allows users to configure virtual switch networks
(VSNs) quickly and to provision Ethernet services immediately on a
network basis, thereby eliminating the complex, time-consuming,
error-prone task of paper and pen planning and configuring Ethernet
virtual switches on an NE-by-NE basis for services.
The Ethernet Management feature facilitates quicker deployment of
the broader range of services afforded by Ethernet technology by a
service provider on an existing transport infrastructure.

Ethernet Management as a Ethernet Management is an optional licensable feature. It is only

licensable feature available to customers that have purchased and installed this feature.
Refer to the Navis® OMS Administration Guide for details on the
Ethernet Management license.

TMF814 Northbound The TMF814 Northbound Interface supports most services that the
Interface support of the Ethernet Management feature provides through the management
Ethernet Management system interface. (The non-supported services include hub-and-spoke
feature
service and switched service for CMISE NEs, specifically the QoS
settings.) In this capacity, the management system functions as an
element management system (EMS) and interfaces with the
northbound OS (the network management system) to manage the
provisioned Ethernet services.
The successful operation of the TMF814 Northbound Interface along
with the Ethernet Management feature also requires the OMS_TMF
license, which is typically installed during the initial installation of the
management system. If the OMS_TMF license was not installed
during the initial installation of the management system, see the
Navis® OMS Administration Guide.

General Order of Provisioning for Ethernet Transport

Getting Started Before you begin to set up Ethernet transport, ensure that the
management system is installed and operational. In addition, read the
Navis® OMS Getting Started Guide, which explains how to use the
management system and navigate through its pages, and how to use
the help system. In particular, network operators need a good
understanding of how to use the Network Map.

Set up Ethernet transport The components of the Ethernet management network must be
provisioned in a prescribed order. The following procedure provides
an overview of the process for provisioning Ethernet transport.
1. Check the settings of the Lowest Global VLAN ID, Highest
Global VLAN, Lowest VSN Level VLAN ID, and Highest VSN
Level VLAN ID installation parameters because the settings of
these installation parameters greatly affect the functioning of the
Ethernet Management feature. Refer to the Navis® OMS
Administration Guide for details on setting the values for these
parameters to ensure the proper functioning of your network.
2. Check the user role profiles that are assigned to each user of the
Ethernet Management feature. The assignment of the Ethernet
Administration, Ethernet Hub and Spoke Provisioning, Ethernet
Infrastructure Provisioning, Ethernet Non-Switched Service
Provisioning, Ethernet Switched Service Provisioning, and
Ethernet (view-only) user tasks can affect the pages of the
management system that are accessible/visible to a particular
user. These user tasks are thoroughly explained in the Navis®
OMS Administration Guide.
3. Set up the management system as described in the Navis® OMS
Provisioning Guide.
4. Use the Add Connection page to add VCGs, which are the
Ethernet-capable links.
For instructions on how to add a VCG, refer to the Navis® OMS
Provisioning Guide.
In certain cases, a VCG is automatically created when a service
or infrastructure network connection between two WAN ports is
created. When a VCG is added, the underlying server connections
can be created to carry Ethernet services.
For a non-switched service, a VCG is created between two WAN
ports on two NEs in a point-to-point configuration.

General Order of Provisioning for Ethernet Introduction
Transport

For a switched service, a series of VCGs is created between

contiguous WAN ports, in a point-to-point manner, on two or
more NEs.
For hub-and-spoke service, a series of VCGs that emanate from a
hub NE and go to a spoke NE are created.
The management system Connection Auto Discovery
command-line tool can be used to discover existing server
connections between NEs terminating on WAN ports and to
merge these server connections into VCGs. For more information
about the Connection Auto Discovery command-line tool, refer to
the Navis® OMS Administration Guide.
5. Use the Add Link Aggregation Group page to add link
aggregation groups.
For instructions on how to add a link aggregation group, refer to
Chapter 4, “Link Aggregation Groups”.
6. Optionally, add one or more customers that are to be associated
with the Ethernet services that are to be created.
For instructions on how to add a customer, refer to the Navis®
OMS Provisioning Guide.
7. Do one of the following:
• Define non-switched Ethernet services on the point-to-point
VCGs created between NEs.
• For switched services, add one or more virtual switch
networks, using the Ethernet-capable links that have been
created, to carry the Ethernet switched services, and then
define switched services on the virtual switch networks. The
spanning tree domain is automatically created for each
defined virtual switch network.
• For hub-and-spoke service from Ethernet-capable links,
specify the hub port, spoke ports, Ethernet capable links,
and VLAN IDs.

Purpose This chapter provides a general introduction to the Ethernet

Management feature and its provisioning capabilities.

Ethernet Fundamentals
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ethernet definition Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) used to connect devices such
as computers, printers, and workstations within the same building or
campus. Ethernet operates over twisted wire, coaxial cable, and
optical fiber, each of which is referred to as a physical medium. For
LAN interconnection, Ethernet is a physical link and data link
protocol reflecting the two lowest layers of the DNA/OSI model.

CSMA/CD Ethernet is the IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) standard. CSMA/CD is a technique
of sharing a common medium among several devices. CSMA is based
on the technical etiquette of listen before talking; it accounts for those
instances when parties interrupt each other and talk at the same time.
With Carrier Sense, a station listens for an idle period on the shared
medium before transmitting an Ethernet message. With Multiple
Access, all stations have an equal chance to transmit. With Collision
Detection, each station ensures that the message that it sent was not
garbled, and if it was, the station waits for a random interval of time
and retries sending the message.
Example: Station A and Station C compete with each other for
access to a network. If Station A wants to send a message, it listens
on the shared medium to ensure that data is not currently being
transmitted. When the medium is clear, Station A then sends a
message and waits to find the data that it sent. If the data is the same,
Station A does nothing. However, if while Station A sent its message,
Station C also found the medium to be clear and sent its own
message, then the data from Stations A and C becomes interleaved
and garbled, which is known as a collision. When Station A looks for
the data it sent, it does not see it, and it then waits for some interval
and tries again; Station C does the same. This process repeats until all
data is sent.

Ethernet frames The messages sent between stations over the physical medium consist
of Ethernet frames. An Ethernet frame is a multi-frame format of
variable length. A variable idle time exists between frames.

Restrictions imposed by Each type of physical medium—twisted pair, coaxial cable, or optical
the physical medium fiber—imposes its own time and distance restrictions on data

transmitted between network segments. The round trip time of a signal

is limited on a particular segment. This time restriction allows each
station to wait for a fixed interval to check its transmitted data. In
addition, this time limit imposes a distance limit on a particular
segment. (Distance limits, however, can be overcome with Ethernet
bridges; see “Ethernet bridges” (2-4).)

Transmission rates The physical Ethernet layer can transmit data at the following rates:
• 10 Mbps
• Fast Ethernet: 100 Mbps, which is known as Fast Ethernet
• 1 Gbps, which is known as Gigabit Ethernet

MAC addresses Each Ethernet host has a universally unique address, which is a 48-bit
Media Access Control (MAC) address. The manufacturer of the
Ethernet interface assigns all MAC addresses. (Currently, an excess of
281,474,976,710,656 unique MAC addresses are available.) The MAC
address is expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, A to F), that are
usually written as octets (12:34:56:78:90:AB). The first 6 digits
represent the manufacturer (Lucent is 00:60:1D and Cisco is
00:00:0C) and the last 6 are assigned by the manufacturer.
The MAC protocol encapsulates the payload data for transmission.
The data added via MAC protocol encapsulation is used to
synchronize the receiving station with the signal, indicate the start and
end of the frame, identify the address of the sending and receiving
stations, and detect transmission errors.

Ethernet bridges An Ethernet bridge connects multiple network segments and the traffic
between those segments. If the source and destination are on the same
network segment, data is not transmitted to other segments; however,
if the source and destination are on different network segments, data
is transmitted as required. This behavior is transparent to any host that
resides on a segment connected by a bridge; the host merely perceives
the bridged segments to be one segment.

Network Components, VCGs, VSNs, and Ethernet Services

Network components The Ethernet Management feature relies on the following

Ethernet-compatible network components to provide Ethernet services:
• NEs; see “Summary of supported NEs” (1-5) for details.
• Circuit packs installed in NEs; see Appendix A, “Circuit Packs”
for details.
• Ports on the circuit packs; see “Supported Ports” (2-7) for details.
• Ethernet-capable links between ports; see “VCGs as
Ethernet-capable links between ports” (2-5) for details.
The Ethernet Management feature uses these network components to
build Ethernet services. The feature also manages Ethernet resources
(such as NEs, ports, and Ethernet-capable links) being shared between
multiple customers and services.

VCGs as Ethernet-capable Virtual concatenation is an inverse multiplexing protocol that allows

links between ports multiple transport containers to be grouped and treated as a single
entity, which is called a Virtual Concatenation Group (VCG). This
single entity contains a group of server connections that are
transported across the network as a single, combined entity.
In the management system, a VCG is an Ethernet-capable link that
identifies how Ethernet packets are routed across an Ethernet switch.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) ID tags and port tags are
associated with Ethernet ports and VCG ports, and are used to
establish these connections.
In some SDH environments, the VCG requires explicit associations
between the VCG port and the server ports. These explicit
associations are made when the VCG connection is created.

VSNs defined A virtual switch network (VSN) is a collection of virtual switches that
are interconnected by Ethernet-capable links.
A VSN consists of the following components:
• LAN ports within NEs; see “Supported Ports” (2-7) for details.
• Ethernet-capable links, one of which is a virtual concatenation
group (VCG), between WAN ports on NEs; see “VCGs as
Ethernet-capable links between ports” (2-5) and “Supported
Ports” (2-7) for details.

• Virtual switches, which are automatically created in the

background by the management system, are physical Ethernet
switches on NE circuit packs that are logically partitioned into
subsets of associated LAN ports and VCGs; see “VCGs as
Ethernet-capable links between ports” (2-5) and “Supported
Ports” (2-7) for details.
• Spanning trees; see “Spanning Tree Groups” (5-5) for details.
For details regarding VSNs, refer to “Virtual Switch Network
Concepts” (5-2).

Ethernet services The Ethernet service choices are the following:

• Virtual switch networks (VSNs), which can be dedicated to
single or multiple switched services. For details, see “Virtual
Switch Network Concepts” (5-2).
• Non-switched service, in which a VCG is created between two
WAN ports on two NEs in a point-to-point connection. For
details, see “Non-switched Service Concepts” (6-2).
• Switched service, in which a series of VCGs is created between
contiguous WAN points in a point-to-point manner on two or
more NEs. For details, see “Switched Services Concepts” (7-2).
• Hub-and-spoke services, in which a series of VCGs emanate
from a hub and go to a set of spokes or spoke ports. For details,
see “Hub-and-Spoke Services Concepts” (8-2).

Supported Ports
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Supported port types Ethernet ports are enabled via NE circuit packs. The following types
of Ethernet ports are supported:
• Ethernet LAN ports
• WAN ports

Ethernet LAN ports An Ethernet LAN port is typically an electrical interface to which an
IEEE 802.1Q Ethernet cable can be connected.
Ethernet LAN ports interface with the data network and receive
Ethernet packets. An Ethernet packet switch routes the packets from
Ethernet ports on the circuit pack to the appropriate VCG port or
ports based on the destination address and the provisioned Ethernet
port/VCG associations. These Ethernet port/VCG associations are
provisioned through the management system. The VCGs encapsulate
the Ethernet packets in a standard frame format for transmission over
the network and assemble the packets into groups that can then be
sent through the network.
For details regarding VCGs, see “VCGs as Ethernet-capable links
between ports” (2-5).

WAN ports A WAN port, which is also sometimes referred to as a VCG port, is
typically an optical interface used to connect an Ethernet circuit pack
to an optical transport network.
WAN ports on the circuit pack are logically configured into VCGs,
which assemble and encapsulate outgoing Ethernet data packets into
virtually concatenated entities that are transported through STS-n
logical ports (for SONET) or VC-n logical ports (for SDH) across the
network.
For details regarding VCGs, see “VCGs as Ethernet-capable links
between ports” (2-5).

Tagging Modes
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tagging mode definition A tagging mode, which is a central concept in the Ethernet
Management feature, controls how Ethernet data packets are tagged
with VLAN ID headers as they travel through the network. A setting
on the NE circuit pack determines the type of tagging mode to be
used in the transmission. Refer to Appendix A, “Circuit Packs” for the
type of tagging mode that is particular to a circuit pack and refer to
“Circuit packs and CMISE-NE behavior” (2-9) for important details
regarding creating Ethernet services and tagging modes.
The Ethernet Management feature offers the following three tagging
mode options:
• “IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode” (2-8)
• “Transparent tagging mode” (2-9)
• “No tagging mode” (2-9)

IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode With the IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode, Ethernet LAN ports and VCGs
are associated with a VLAN ID, which is a tag that is embedded in
the Ethernet frame received by an Ethernet LAN port on the circuit
pack.
The relationship between ports and VLAN IDs is many-to-many and
is user-provisionable. The data packet is routed through the
appropriate ports based on the VLAN value. For an Ethernet data
packet to be routed to a port (Ethernet or VCG), that port must be
enabled to accept the VLAN ID of that data packet. A VLAN ID must
be registered on both the incoming Ethernet port and the outgoing
VCG to transmit the data packet successfully, or the data packet is
discarded. (See also “VLAN IDs” (2-11) for other details.)
The IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode supports untagged traffic by allowing
a default VLAN ID value to be assigned to untagged traffic. If a
default VLAN ID is assigned, the Ethernet port assigns the default
VLAN ID to all untagged frames and the virtual switch routes the
data using this default value; otherwise, untagged data frames are
dropped.
The IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode is also known as VLAN tagging
mode.

Issue 1, January 2005
Tagging Modes Fundamentals

Refer to “Circuit packs and CMISE-NE behavior” (2-9) for important

details regarding creating Ethernet services and tagging modes.

Transparent tagging mode With the transparent tagging mode, LAN ports and VCGs are
associated with a VLAN ID. A single VLAN ID is assigned to a LAN
port. For all traffic routed to these LAN ports, a VLAN ID is added to
all traffic coming into a service-provider network, and it is removed
as the traffic leaves the network. (See also“VLAN IDs” (2-11) for
other details.)
In view of this method of operation, transparent tagging mode is also
known as double tagging or stacked tagging. However, transparent
tagging is rightfully named because the method in which the traffic is
managed within the service-provider network is transparent to the end
customer.
Refer to “Circuit packs and CMISE-NE behavior” (2-9) for important
details regarding VLAN IDs and creating Ethernet services and
tagging modes.

No tagging mode With no tagging mode, VLAN IDs are not required and Layer 2
switching is not performed.

Circuit packs and With the later releases of Lucent’s CMISE-based NEs, which are
CMISE-NE behavior listed in “Summary of supported NEs” (1-5), users can create different
Ethernet services on the same circuit pack; however, the following
restrictions do apply:
• A user cannot create non-switched services and IEEE
802.1Q-tagged virtual switch networks and/or hub-and-spoke
services on the same circuit pack, which means that a user can
create non-switched services and a transparent-tagged virtual
switch network on the same circuit pack.
• If a user first creates a non-switched service on the circuit pack,
any transparently-tagged virtual switch network subsequently
created on that circuit pack must use an EtherType setting of
9100 for all network ports on that pack.
• If a user first creates a transparently-tagged virtual switch
network on the circuit pack, EtherType settings are not restricted.
All EtherType setting guidelines apply; however, the
non-switched service assumes the EtherType setting of any
existing transparently-tagged virtual switch network.

VLAN IDs
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

VLAN IDs defined A VLAN ID is a tag that is embedded in an Ethernet frame header
that is received by an Ethernet LAN port on a circuit pack.

Types of VLAN ID pools The Ethernet Management feature maintains the following two types
maintained of VLAN ID pools:
• Two global VLAN ID pools, one of which is reserved for
transparent tagging mode and the other of which is reserved for
IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode. Global VLAN IDs cannot be reused
anywhere in the network.
Refer to “IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode” (2-8) and “Transparent
tagging mode” (2-9) for details on these tagging modes.
• Two local VLAN ID pools that are reserved for VSNs. Local
VLAN IDs can be reused in different VSNs.
Refer to “Virtual Switch Network Concepts” (5-2) for details on
VSNs.

VLAN ID installation During the installation of the management system, a pool of VLAN
parameters IDs is made available through the setting of four installation
parameters. The setting of these installation parameters is an
administrator function; and as such, it is explained in detail in the
Navis® OMS Administration Guide.
The following table correlates the installation parameter that must be
set, its meaning, and the default value that it is assigned:

Networks
Highest VSN-level Maximum VLAN ID 4093
VLAN ID in the Local Pools

Networks

VLAN ID requests The management system supports requests for any available VLAN
ID from any VLAN ID pool. An available VLAN ID in the pool is
provided and the VLAN ID is marked as used.
In addition, the management system supports a request for a specific
VLAN ID from any VLAN ID pool. If that VLAN ID is available in
the pool, the request is granted and the VLAN ID is marked as used.
If the VLAN IDs are not available when either request is made, the
management system informs the user that the VLAN IDs are not
available.
If a VLAN ID is no longer needed, the management system returns
the VLAN ID to the appropriate VLAN ID pool.

Assigning ports to a VLAN The management system supports requests to assign a set of ports on
ID an NE to a specific VLAN ID, providing the following conditions are
met:
• All ports that are assigned to the VLAN ID must have the same
tagging mode.
• A port that is assigned to transparent tagging mode cannot be
used for any other VLAN ID.
If the port is assigned to IEEE 802.1Q tagging mode, the VLAN ID is
added to the current set of VLAN IDs that are currently on the port.

2-12 Lucent Technologies 365-315-147R3.2

Issue 1, January 2005
VLAN IDs Fundamentals

The management system also supports requests to remove a VLAN ID

from a set of ports providing that the port is assigned to the particular
VLAN ID.

VLAN IDs and All virtual switches on the same circuit pack that are provisioned for
hub-and-spoke service hub-and-spoke service use the same local VLAN ID pool; therefore,
all hub-and-spoke services on the same circuit pack use the local
VLAN ID pool.
Refer to “Circuit packs that support hub-and-spoke service” (8-2) for
additional information.

EtherType
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

EtherType value definition In an IEEE 802.1Q-compliant frame header, the EtherType is a 16-bit
value that is used to express the type of Ethernet service to which a
frame belongs. In the IEEE standard, it is referred to as the TPID.
Because various NE vendors have not standardized the EtherType
values expressed for transparent LAN service (transparent tagging
mode), Lucent enables its Ethernet users to set EtherType values on
certain NE circuit packs to enable inter-operability between this
equipment. The setting of these EtherType values on NE circuit packs
is known as the EtherType setting.
Refer to “EtherType settings and circuit packs” (2-15) for details on
which circuit packs support EtherType and refer to “IEEE 802.1Q
tagging mode” (2-8) for details on the 802.1Q standard.

EtherType values When provisioning the link and port parameters for virtual switch
networks, the Ethernet capable links and LAN ports for the virtual
switch network may be specified. The customer LAN ports are added
to the current LAN ports list and the network LAN ports are added to
the current network LAN ports list.
In addition, with transparent tagging mode, EtherType values—which
are circuit pack settings that enable interworking between NE vendor
equipment—can be set on the Ethernet capable links and network
LAN ports. (Refer to “EtherType settings and circuit packs” (2-15) for
details on which circuit packs support EtherType.)

EtherType current links When provisioning a virtual switch network, the EtherType parameters
and network LAN ports for the first selected port in the current network LAN list or the first
selected link the current link is displayed if the circuit pack of the
port supports EtherType specifications. Each current link is displayed
as the link name and, if specified, the EtherType setting in the
following format:
<link name> (A end:<A end EtherType value> Z end:<Z end
EtherTypeValue>)
Example for links:
VCG1 a-v2 VCG1 c-v3 (A end:9100 Z end: FFFF)
Format for ports:

<port name> (<EtherTypeValue>)

Example for ports:
DMX3 a-1 (9100)

EtherType current links When provisioning a VSN, for each end that supports EtherType
and EtherType swapping swapping, each current link is displayed as the link name and, if
specified, the EtherType setting in the following format:
<link name> (<end EtherType value> Ingress swap: <Ingress Swap
EtherType>, Mode: <Ingress Swap EtherType mode>, Egress swap:
<Egress Swap EtherType>, Mode: <Egress Swap EtherType Mode>)
For example:
VCG3 (A end: 9100, Ingress swap: FFFF, Mode:enable, Egress
swap:9100, Mode:disable)

Ethernet current network For each network LAN port that supports EtherType swapping, each
LAN ports and EtherType current port is displayed as the link name and, if specified, the
swapping EtherType setting in the following format:
<port name> (<EtherType value>, Ingress swap: <Ingress Swap
EtherType>, Mode: <Ingress Swap EtherType mode>, Egress swap:
<Egress Swap EtherType>, Mode: <Egress Swap EtherType Mode>)
For example, for links:
ADM2 LAN8.1 (9100, Ingress swap: FFFF, Mode:enable, Egress
swap:9100, Mode:disable)

EtherType settings and The EtherType setting on a circuit pack allows interworking between
circuit packs NE vendor equipment. A circuit pack can have one of the following
EtherType specifications:
• Port-based specification, in which the EtherType setting can be
different for each port. See the “LNW67 Circuit Pack” (A-16)
and “LNW68 Circuit Pack” (A-17) for additional details.
• Bank-based specification, in which the ports are divided into
three sets, or banks, of eight ports (1 to 8, 9 to 16, and 17 to
24). The EtherType setting must be the same for all ports in the
bank. See the “LNW66 Circuit Pack” (A-15) for additional
details.

• Virtual switch-based specification, in which the EtherType

setting must be the same for all ports in the Virtual Switch. See
the “LNW70 Circuit Pack” (A-18) for additional details.
• Card-based specification, in which the EtherType must be the
same for all ports on the card. See the “GE1/LX4 KFA532
Circuit Pack” (A-7), “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8),
“IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12), “IP-GE/2 LKA12
Circuit Pack” (A-9), “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack” (A-10),
“LJB 459 Circuit Pack” (A-13), “LJB 460 Circuit Pack” (A-14),
“X4-IPv2 Circuit Pack” (A-23), and “X8EPL Circuit Pack”
(A-24) for additional details.
Important! Since a circuit pack requires the EtherType setting to
be the same for all virtual switches on the circuit pack, users
should use the following procedure to change the EtherType of
one virtual switch when others are configured are on the circuit
pack:
1. Remove all virtual switches except one from the circuit pack.
2. Change the EtherType.
3. Re-create what was removed with a new EtherType value.
• Card-based specification with Ethernet swapping, in which the
EtherType must be the same for all ports on the circuit pack. See
the “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack” (A-10) for additional
details.
For important details regarding creating Ethernet services and
EtherType settings for CMISE releases of the management system,
refer to “Circuit packs and CMISE-NE behavior” (2-9) for details.
For additional details regarding EtherType provisioning, refer to
“EtherType current links and network LAN ports” (2-14), “EtherType
current links and EtherType swapping” (2-15), and “Ethernet current

QoS Concepts
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

QoS and CoS Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to
provide different service to selected network traffic; as such, QoS can
be defined as the set of techniques and services that is used to manage
network resources such as bandwidth and packet loss parameters.
Class of Service (CoS) is the classification of traffic into different sets
so each set can receive different treatment.

Ethernet QoS Ethernet QoS relies on an NE circuit pack supporting QoS for
implementation switched services within the infrastructure of a virtual switch network.
The possible QoS parameter specifications that the various Lucent NE
circuit packs support are the following:
• “CIR/Policing Mode” (2-19)
• “PIR” (2-19)
• “Full Ingress/Egress” (2-19)
• “Enhanced specification” (2-20)
For additional information regarding VSNs and switched services,
refer to “Virtual Switch Network Concepts” (5-2) and “Switched
Services Concepts” (7-2).

Differentiated services Ethernet QoS is based on a concept known as differentiated services,

which regulates traffic flow at the ingress to the network and has each
node in the route processing data packets on a per hop basis.
Therefore, end-to-end resource reservation does not exist.
Two aspects of differentiated services are the following:
• “Ingress functions” (2-18)
• “Egress functions” (2-18)

Ingress functions Ingress functions involve traffic classification and conditioning.

Ingress functions include—in order—the following:
• VLAN ID filtering removes frames that do not have the required
VLAN ID in the header.
• Traffic classification determines the Class of Service (CoS)
based on information in the frame header. The frame header can
be based on the 3-bit priority, the VLAN ID, or another value;
and, it typically maps the frames into the set of the CoS that is
supported on that circuit pack.
• Flow classification groups frames into flows based on some
criteria, such as the CoS, the VLAN ID, the priority, the port,
any combination of these, or other criteria.
• Traffic conditioning includes values that can be specified for the
following parameters:
- Peak Information Rate (PIR)
- Committed Information Rate (CIR)
- Peak Burst Size (PBS)
- Committed Burst Size (CBS)
Traffic conditioning includes the following four stages:
- Metering and marking measure the data rate. They apply an
internal color to each frame.
Frames marked red indicate a data rate is greater than the
PIR or PBS.
Frames marked yellow indicate a data rate is less than or
equal to the PIR and EBS, but greater than the CIR or CBS.
Frames marked green indicate a data rate that is less than
the CIR or CBS.
- Policing discards frames marked red; packets marked yellow
might be dropped eventually.
- Counting keeps a record of the frames by their color.

Egress functions Egress functions involve scheduling and queueing on the output port
to the next node. Egress functions include—in order—the following:
• Dropping, which discards frames that do not fit into the egress
queue for the CoS of the frame.
• Scheduling, which transmits frames from the egress queues,
depending on the scheduling algorithm and priority.

QoS Modes
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

PIR For switched service, peak information rate (PIR) parameters can be
specified for each LAN port in terms of Mbps. See the “LNW66
Circuit Pack” (A-15), “LNW67 Circuit Pack” (A-16), and “LNW68
Circuit Pack” (A-17) for details.
For additional information regarding switched services, refer to
“Switched Services Concepts” (7-2).

CIR/Policing Mode For switched service, Committed Information Rate (CIR)/Policing

Mode parameter specifications can be made for each LAN port.
For the specified LAN port, the CIR is specified in terms of Kbps and
the policing mode choice can be one the following:
• None, which does not offer any policing.
• Strict, in which the CIR is equal to the PIR, which is less than
the port speed.
• Over-subscription, in which the CIR is less than the port speed.
(The PIR equals the port speed.) Over-subscription is not
available for Virtual LAN-type services.
For additional information regarding switched services, refer to
“Switched Services Concepts” (7-2).
CIR/Policing Mode is not currently supported in this release of the
management system.

Full Ingress/Egress For switched service, full ingress/egress parameter specifications are
made for a particular traffic management mode or for no traffic
management mode.
If the traffic management mode is being designated for a port or
VLAN, users can specify the PIR, PBS, CIR, and the CBS. If the
traffic management mode is being designated for ports, it must be
done per port for all VLANs. If the traffic management mode is being
designated for a VLAN, it must be done per VLAN on that port.
If the traffic management mode is being designated for a CoS or
VLAN/CoS, users can specify the mapping for user priority to Class
of Service (CoS). The default value can be the current value for that

CoS for that port; or the following mapping can apply if the QoS for
the port was not yet set:
• 0 for User Priority 1 and 2
• 1 for User Priority 0 and 3
• 2 for User Priority 4 and 5
• 3 for User Priority 6 and 7
In addition, if the traffic management mode is CoS or VLAN/CoS,
users can specify the PIR, PBS, CIR, and the CBS for each CoS.
Refer to the “LNW70 Circuit Pack” (A-18) for additional information
on this NE circuit pack that supports Full Ingress/Egress parameter
specifications for QoS. For additional information regarding switched
services, refer to “Switched Services Concepts” (7-2).

Enhanced specification For switched service, enhanced parameter specifications are made for
a particular traffic management mode or for no traffic management
mode.
If the traffic management mode is being designated for a port or
VLAN, users can specify the traffic class, PIR, and CIR. If the traffic
management mode is being designated for a port and the port is
already being used in another service, the values from that service are
used as the default values.
If the traffic management mode is being designated for a User
Priority, users can specify the traffic class, PIR, and CIR. If the port is
already being used in another service, the values from that service are
used as the default values.
The following circuit packs support the Enhanced QoS specification:
• “IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12)
• “LJB 459 Circuit Pack” (A-13)
• “LJB 460 Circuit Pack” (A-14)
• “IP-GE/2 LKA12 Circuit Pack” (A-9)
• “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack” (A-10)
• “X4-IPv2 Circuit Pack” (A-23)
The Enhanced QoS specification is only supported on the
Metropolis® ADM (Universal Shelf) R4.0 with the LKA21 controller
card, Metropolis® AM R6.1, and the Metropolis® AM-S R6.1.

QoS Modes Fundamentals

VSN QoS parameters for When specifying the QoS that is to be applied to a particular virtual
full ingress/egress switch network, overall queue size and threshold parameters, along
with other parameters, are specified for full ingress/egress mode.
Specifically, these parameters and their specifications are the
following:
• The maximum queue size is the maximum size of the queue
specified in terms of kilobytes (kb).
The default is 256 kb.
• The minimum green threshold is the number of frames, which
are expressed as a percentage, in which the data rate is equal to
the PIR or the PBS.
The default minimum green threshold is 90%.
• The maximum and minimum yellow thresholds are the number of
frames, which are expressed as a percentage, that indicate a data
rate that is less than or equal to the PIR and EBS, but is greater
than the CIR or CBS.
The default maximum yellow threshold is 50%. The default
minimum yellow threshold is 33%.
• The maximum drop probability is the maximum probability, in
terms of 0 to 100%, that four Classes of Service (CoSs)—which
are CoS 0, CoS 1, CoS 2, and CoS 3—will be dropped.
The default values are 100% for CoS 0, CoS 1, and CoS 2 and
50% for CoS 3. Note: the maximum drop probability for CoS 3
must be less than or equal to the maximum drop probability for
CoS 2. The maximum drop probability for CoS 2 must be less
than or equal to the maximum drop probability for CoS 1. The
maximum drop probability for CoS 1 must be less than or equal
to the maximum drop probability for CoS 0.
• The assured forward queuing weight for customer ports and
network ports must be specified.
The default queuing weight for customer ports is 35; the default
queuing weight for network ports is 64.
• The scheduler method and priority must be specified for each of
the four traffic classes.
A scheduler method of Strict or Weighted can be assigned, with
Strict being the default.
A Scheduler Priority, which ranges from 1 to 255 can be
assigned, with the defaults relatively corresponding to the actual

traffic class. (For example, the default for Traffic Class 0 and 1 is
1; the default for Traffic Class 2 is 2; default of Traffic Class 3 is
3; the default for Traffic Class Internal is 255.)
Important! If the scheduler method is set to Strict, the value
of the Scheduler Priority cannot be repeated for any traffic class.

Connections and Bandwidth

Connections and The search capabilities inherent to the Ethernet Management feature
bandwidth overview enable users to access information regarding the following:
• “Client connections” (2-23) for a selected VSN.
• “Server connections” (2-23) for VSNs along with switched,
non-switched, and hub-and spoke services.
• “Bandwidth utilization” (2-23) for VSNs only.

Client connections Users can access client connection information for a selected virtual
switch network (VSN). The client connections of a VSN are a
switched service. Refer to the “View the Client Connections of a
Virtual Switch Network” (2-32) task for details.

Server connections Users can access server connection information for a VSN, or a
switched, non-switched, or hub-and-spoke service. Refer to the “View
the Server Connection of an Ethernet Service” (2-33) task for details.

Bandwidth utilization Users can access bandwidth utilization information for particular NEs.
For each virtual switch in the virtual switch network, the NE name,
type of LAN port, and a summary of the QoS policing criteria are
provided; and for each VCG, the VCG name and VCG bandwidth are
provided. This information is intended to provide an overview of how
the bandwidth is used in a virtual switch network. The information is
approximate, and it does not account for spanning trees, which block
some links. Refer to the “View the Bandwidth Utilization of a Virtual
Switch Network” (2-35) task for details.
Note that the bandwidth of an Ethernet capable link (VCG) depends
on the number and the type of components (servers) that are used in
the configuration as illustrated in the following table:

Component Layer Rate Approximate Bandwidth per

Server in Mbps
VT1.5 or VC-12 2*
STS-1 or VC-3 50*
STS-3c or VC-4 150*
STS-12c 600*

Component Layer Rate Approximate Bandwidth per

Server in Mbps
* Important! Because of SONET/SDH encapsulation, this number
is a readable representation of the approximate bandwidth utilization.

Example:

The page output shows the NE name. For each LAN port in the
virtual switch, line output is dedicated to the LAN port name and its
type, such as Gigabit Ethernet (GE) or Fast Ethernet (FE) along with
a summary of the policing criteria (PIR and CIR, as appropriate). For
each VCG in the virtual switch, the VCG name and VCG bandwidth
are output. Total information is displayed for ingress, which is the
sum of all PIR and CIR values on LAN ports, and egress, which is
the sum of all bandwidth values.

DMX1 a-1(GE) PIR=800 (80%), CIR=500 (50%)

a-2(GE) PIR=1100 (110%), CIR=800 (80%)
VCG1 600
VCG2 800
Total Ingress: PIR=1900, CIR=1300
Egress: 1400

Ethernet Orders
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Order definition An order is an object that can be used to specify and track a task that
is related to a certain network object, such as an Ethernet service, in
the management system.
Order management offers management system users the ability to
move an order along in a specific direction, that is, forward towards
its completion or backward towards its removal.

Order functionality An order is generated and tracked for every provisioning

activity—such as adding a virtual switch network, modifying a
service, or deleting a service—that is performed using the Ethernet
Management feature.

Order number Every Ethernet order is assigned a unique order number, which is a
string of 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters that represents the order.
An order number can be created in one of two ways:
• Automatically via the management system.
When the management system automatically generates an order
number, it creates a unique 1 to 20 digit number with a
single-character prefix; see “Order type” (3-2) for details.
• Manually via a user.
A user can manually enter an order number when an order is
initiated or subsequently edit an order number.

Order type When the management system automatically generates an order

number, it creates a unique 1 to 20 digit number with a
single-character prefix. This single-character prefix represents the
order type.

3-2 Lucent Technologies 365-315-147R3.2

Issue 1, January 2005
Ethernet Orders Ethernet Orders

The management system logs each order with the order type, which
are the following:
• The character prefix A indicates an add order. For example:
A12345.
• The character prefix R indicates a modify order. For example:
R987665.
• The character prefix D indicates a delete order. For example:
D57983753

Order state The progress of each order is tracked through a series of order states,
from the initiation of the order to its completion. The state of each
order changes as it progresses towards completion.
The order states supported by the Ethernet Management feature are
the following:
• Pending
• Completed
• History
When an Ethernet service or virtual switch network is deleted, the
order state for that delete activity is changed to History.

Order step An order also goes through a succession of steps before it reaches the
next order state. For example, an order that is in an order state of
Completed is at the order step of In effect.
The order step state is the status of the current step or phase of the
order. An In progress step state means that the system is still working
on the Implemented step of the order. A Completed step state means
that an order has been successfully processed in that step. If the order
step state is Failed, the order failed at that step (at that point).
The order step is derived from the order state as follows:

Order State Order Step Order Step State

Pending Planned Completed
Pending Implementation In progress
Completed In effect Completed
Pending Implemented Failed
History In effect Completed

An order to modify a service can only be created for a service that is

currently in the Completed order state.

View orders The Ethernet Management feature allows you to view the order state,
order step, and order step state of any order, as well as other details
such as the order creation date and time, the originator (user ID) of
the order, and particulars about the affected service or Ethernet
component.

Add orders If an Add order fails prior to the system sending any commands to the
network, the affected service is not created in the database and the
order remains in the Pending order state. To create another service
with the same name, the original Add order that failed must be
cancelled.

Modify orders When an order is created for a service that was previously created, the
previous order for the same service is moved to History when the new
order reaches the Completed order state.

Force move orders Users can force an order to be moved from the order state of Pending
to the order state of Complete even if a problem is preventing this
processing from occurring normally. When an order is force moved,
the management system makes one additional attempt to complete the
order normally; if it fails, it moves the order to the order state of
Complete. Orders that were forced moved have an attribute set that
indicates that the order was processed in this particular way.

Cancel orders Users can cancel an Ethernet order that is in the Planned order step
from the Command Deployment page. Refer to the “Command
Deployment Feature” (3-6) for details.

Delete orders The Ethernet Management feature allows users to delete an order.
When an order is deleted, its corresponding service is deleted. The
tasks for deleting services include an option to delete from the
Ethernet orders page.
A Delete order that fails is placed in the Pending order state and left
in the database in this state. If a deletion order is processed through
another system interface, an Ethernet Management feature database
synchronization must be performed. For information on database

“Ethernet Management Database Synchronization”.

Command Deployment Feature

Functionality description The Command Deployment feature is available for Ethernet orders
that are in the Pending order state. It is not available for Ethernet
orders that are in the Completed or History state.
The Command Deployment feature provides status of each command
sent from the management system that is related to connection
provisioning, loopback ports, or the Ethernet Management feature.
This feature is accessed from the Command Deployment page, and is
commonly used to diagnose and repair failed connection orders.
Additionally, some provisioning actions can be executed from this
page and a mechanism is provided to forcibly complete the command
without sending the commands to the subnetwork or network. The
user can also implement or resend the commands on a per-request
basis.

Command list The command list is presented as a tree in order to show the
three-layer hierarchical relationships of requests, command groups,
and commands.
• A request is a task completed by a user of the management
system, such as Add a Non-switched Service.
• Commands are grouped into command groups so commands
within each group can be executed simultaneously and the
command groups can be executed sequentially.
• A command is the smallest component part of a command group.

Command status The status of commands listed on the Command Deployment page is
indicated by an icon.
The following table defines the command status icons.

Link Aggregation Groups

Link Aggregation Group Concepts

LAGs defined A link aggregation group (LAG) is a group of LAN ports that is based
on the IEEE 802.3ad standard. LAGs serve two primary functions:
• A LAG can be used to cluster multiple LAN ports to achieve a
higher bandwidth for a single traffic stream; for example: three
Fast Ethernet ports can be clustered together to achieve a total
bandwidth of 300 Mbps.
• A LAG can serve as a mechanism for protection among LAN
ports.
All ports in a LAG are assigned a virtual MAC address. The traffic
directed to that MAC address is distributed across all ports in the
group. Should any port fail, fail-over to avoid the particular port is
handled.
When multiple ports are aggregated, they are named using a
representative port name that denotes the entire LAG.

LAG provisioning LAGs are added to the management system using the “Add a LAG”
(4-6) task. The following guidelines apply when creating LAGs.
• The Link Aggregation Group label field must be populated with
a label that is unique on the NE.
• The number of ports specified in the Other Link Aggregation
Group ports field must be equal to one less than the maximum
number of ports in a Link Aggregation Group for that circuit
pack type.
• The ports specified in the Other Link Aggregation Group ports
field cannot presently be in an Ethernet service, which includes a
non-switched service, a hub-and-spoke service, or a virtual switch
network.
LAGs are deleted using the “Delete a LAG” (4-8) task. Management
system restrictions are not imposed upon the deletion of a LAG.

Circuit packs that support LAGs are supported by the “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack”
LAGs (A-10), which is deployed only in the Metropolis® ADM (Universal
Shelf). Since this circuit pack has two ports, the LAG would consist
of those two ports.

Virtual Switch Networks

Virtual Switch Network Concepts

Virtual switch network A virtual switch network (VSN) is a collection of virtual switches that
defined are interconnected by Ethernet-capable links. LAN ports with NEs,
Ethernet-capable links, virtual switches, and spanning trees are the
components of a VSN.

Virtual switch network A virtual switch network is provisioned and subsequently managed
provisioning using the Ethernet Management feature. During the provisioning
process, the use of LAN/WAN ports for a subnetwork of NEs is
logically partitioned.
The WAN ports in the virtual switch network use a spanning tree
algorithm to provide redundant paths for broadcasting data while
prohibiting traffic over specified cross-connection points in ports to
avoid undesirable loops in the network, which is essential for making
the most efficient use of network resources in providing Ethernet
Switched Services.
One or more virtual switch networks, which are connected by
Ethernet-capable links, becomes the underlying infrastructure for an
Ethernet Switched Service Network.
By default, the management system allows multiple services to be
provisioned on a virtual switch network. An option can be set to
restrict the virtual switch network to a single switched service to
allow the service to have dedicated resources.
To add virtual switch networks to the management system, refer to the
“Add a Virtual Switch Network” (5-7) task. To add and delete ports
and Ethernet-capable links (VCGs) to a virtual switch network, refer
to the “Modify a Virtual Switch Network” (5-14) task.

Virtual switch network The most general form of a virtual switch network topology is the
topologies partial mesh and all other topologies are considered to be special
cases of a partial mesh.
The management system currently supports only the partial mesh;
however, the Ethernet Management feature supports the virtual switch
network packet ring or other topologies that can be provisioned as a
partial mesh design. For example, a packet ring can be created as a
partial mesh virtual switch network, which has NEs connected using
VCGs in a ring-like configuration.

Virtual Switch Network Concepts Virtual Switch Networks

Virtual switch network The following characteristics define each virtual switch network:
characteristics
• A service name, which is a user-defined name for the virtual
switch network. This name is not installed in the NE.
• A tag mode, which is the tagging mode of the virtual switch
network. A virtual switch network can only support a single
tagging mode. See “Tagging Modes” (2-8) for more information.
• A domain, which determines whether the virtual switch network
has a local VLAN domain or uses the global VLAN domain,
which is the default. See “VLAN IDs” (2-11) for more
information.
• Privacy, which determines whether the virtual switch network is
to be dedicated to a single service or a multiple service. See
“Ethernet services” (2-6) for more information.
• An automatic VLAN ID registration mode, which determines
whether the automatic registration of VLAN IDs in the virtual
switch network should be turned on or off. See “ VLAN ID
registration on WAN ports” (7-3) for more information.
• The service state, which indicates the state of the virtual switch
network to be planned, implementation in progress,
implementation failed, in effect, or history. See “Order state”
(3-3) and “Order step” (3-3) for more information.
• The QoS, which indicates the set of virtual switch network wide
Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. See “QoS Concepts” (2-17)
for more information.

Virtual switch network The route of a virtual switch network can be displayed in one of two
routes modes:
• The normal mode, in which all links in the virtual switch
network are shown in blue.
• The spanning tree mode, in which all links in the virtual switch
network are shown in various colors depending on the spanning
tree state. Refer to “Spanning tree mode link colors” (5-6) for
details.

Virtual switch networks When virtual switch networks are provisioned in a High Availability
and High Availability configuration, potential data inconsistencies can arise on the primary
configurations active and the secondary active management systems; consequently,

the virtual switch network and its connections have to be provisioned

manually on the secondary active management system so the data on
the secondary synchronizes with that on the primary.

Virtual switch networks When any virtual switch network with the Lucent Proprietary
and Lucent Proprietary Transparent tag mode exists on the network, the VSN can be
Transparent mode discovered, viewed, and deleted through the management system.
However, such a VSN cannot be added or modified through the
management system.

Virtual Switch Networks

Spanning Tree Groups

Spanning tree group Spanning tree groups provide redundant paths for broadcasting data
function and they block certain paths to avoid undesirable loops in a network.
They rely on predefined routing algorithms to route traffic to multiple
points.

Spanning tree group The domain of a spanning tree group, or the area of the virtual switch
domain network adhering to the traffic routing rules of the spanning tree,
depends on the type of NEs that comprise the virtual switch network.
If the virtual switch network consists of TL1 NEs, the domain of the
spanning tree is equivalent to the virtual switch network. It consists of
the following:
• All network LAN ports in the virtual switch network
• All links in the virtual switch network
If the virtual switch network consists of CMISE NEs, the spanning
tree domain is based on the type of service being carried by the
virtual switch network:
• For a virtual LAN switched service, the spanning tree domain is
the same as the virtual switch network.
• For a transparent LAN switched service, a separate spanning tree
is used for each service in the virtual switch network.

Spanning tree group traffic Traffic routing is specified in a spanning tree group by selecting the
routing and provisioning WAN ports through which the data can travel. The management
system allows users to view and modify spanning tree group
parameters on the WAN ports in a spanning tree group.
Spanning tree groups cannot be manually added, modified, or deleted.
When a virtual switch is added, modified, or deleted, the following
additions, deletions, and modifications automatically occur with
spanning tree groups:
• A spanning tree group is automatically added when a virtual
switch is added.
• A spanning tree group is automatically modified when a virtual
switch is modified.
• A spanning tree group is automatically deleted when a virtual
switch is deleted.

Spanning tree mode link If the route of a virtual switch network has been specified to be
colors displayed as the spanning tree mode (as opposed to the normal
mode), all links in the virtual switch network appear in various colors
depending on the current spanning tree state.
The spanning tree state of each link is shown graphically using the
colors shown in the following table:

Spanning Tree State Line Color

Forwarding Blue
Non-forwarding, disabled Purple
Unknown Magenta

If a link on the Network Map represents multiple links, the color of

the spanning tree state line color is displayed as follows:
• If any link in the multiple link set is in a Forwarding state, the
link is shown in blue.
• If any link in the multiple link set is in an Unknown state and
the other links are set in a Non-Forwarding state, the link is
shown in magenta.
• If any link in the multiple link set is not in an Unknown state
and the other links in the set are not in a non-forwarding, or
disabled state, the link is shown in purple.

Add a Virtual Switch Network

Purpose Use this task to add a virtual switch network.

This task is presented in five parts:
• Part 1: Specify the VSN parameters
• Part 2: Specify the Link and Port parameters
• Part 3: Specify the QoS parameters
• Part 4: Specify the Order parameters
• Part 5: Review the parameters and submit the virtual switch
network

Before you begin Create the appropriate VCGs. Add the LAN ports and WAN ports
(with corresponding Ethernet-capable links) to the virtual switch
network.
When adding a new virtual switch network, adhere to the following:
• Account for the type of virtual switch network topology that
accommodates the current and/or anticipated needs of the
customer and the type of Ethernet Switched Service that is to be
provisioned on the virtual switch network.
• Define whether the virtual switch network supports a local or
global VLAN ID domain (pool) for IEEE 802.1Q Tagging Mode
Switched Service. If a local VLAN ID domain is used, the same
VLAN IDs can be reused in other virtual switch networks. If a
global VLAN pool is used, a VLAN can only be used once in
the entire network. The global VLAN domain is used for VLANs
that traverse multiple virtual switch networks. In general, a
virtual switch network that uses the local VLAN domain cannot
share any Ethernet circuit packs with other virtual switch
networks that have a local VLAN domain. The LNW70 circuit
pack allows multiple local VLANs, refer to the “LNW70 Circuit
Pack” (A-18) for details.

Modify a Virtual Switch Network

When to use Use this task to modify a virtual switch network, which can include
the addition and deletion of ports and Ethernet-capable links (VCGs)
to the virtual switch network and the modification of QoS values.
This task is presented in two parts:
• Part 1: Modify parameters
• Part 2: Review parameters and submit the modified virtual switch
network

Before you begin Be aware that LAN ports are deleted from virtual switch networks in
two ways, which depend on their current use:
• If a LAN port is not used in any other switched service, the LAN
port is automatically removed from the virtual switch network
when it is removed from the switched service.
• If a LAN port that is used in an Ethernet switched service is to
be deleted from the virtual switch network, the LAN port must
first be deleted from the Ethernet switched service; then, the
LAN port can be deleted from the virtual switch network using
this task.
If a virtual switch network is supporting an Ethernet switched service,
removal or deletion of some Ethernet-capable links within the virtual
switch network can cause some ports to become unreachable, thus
causing a temporary loss of service. Therefore, it might be necessary
to first create a backup link to the NE and then remove the initial
link.

Non-switched Service

Non-switched Service Concepts

Non-switched service A non-switched service is an Ethernet service in which a virtual

defined concatenation group (VCG) is created between two WAN ports on
two NEs in a point-to-point connection.
The VCG can be created in one of two methods:
• As a two step process in which the user first provisions the VCG,
which is the transport mechanism, and then the non-switched
Ethernet service. The first part of this process, which is the
provisioning the VCG, is explained in the Navis® OMS
Provisioning Guide; the second step of this process, which is the
provisioning the non-switched service, is explained in this
document.
• As a one step process in which the user invokes the “Flow
through provisioning” (6-2) feature of the management system.
This one step process is explained in this document.

Flow through provisioning When establishing a non-switched service, the VCG can be created
via flow through provisioning, which enables the user to provision
the transport service, which is the VCG, and the non-switched
Ethernet service, at the same time. The provisioning of the VCG
occurs during the specification of the link parameters when the
non-switched service is being added. (The steps required to use flow
through provisioning are explained in the “Add a Non-switched
Service” (6-6) task.)
When deleting a non-switched service, flow through provisioning also
affords the user the option of deleting the transport mechanism (the
VCG) and the non-switched service at the same time.
The management system requires one end of the Ethernet capable link
to terminate on the same circuit pack as the A end port; the other end
of the Ethernet capable link must terminate on the same circuit pack
as the Z end port.

Types of non-switched The non-switched services are the following:

services
• “Private Line” (6-3)
• “SAN” (6-3)

6-2 Lucent Technologies 365-315-147R3.2

Issue 1, January 2005
Non-switched Service Concepts Non-switched Service

Private Line Ethernet Private Line is a non-switched, point-to-point connection

between two Ethernet LAN ports. The transport service is provided by
using dedicated bandwidth (an Ethernet Private Line) between the
endpoints. All packet-based service information resides with the end
customer systems, rather than with the transport network. Ethernet
Media Access Control (MAC) frames are forwarded transparently
(without modification, at the MAC level) over the transport network.
The following NE circuit packs support non-switched, private line
service:
• “BBG23 Circuit Pack” (A-4)
• “DI-EPL_E1/4+4 Circuit Pack” (A-5)
• “DI-EPL_E1/4+32_75 Circuit Pack” (A-6)
• “GE1/LX4 KFA532 Circuit Pack” (A-7)
• “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8)
• “IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12)
• “IP-GE/2 LKA12 Circuit Pack” (A-9)
• “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack” (A-10)
• “LJB 459 Circuit Pack” (A-13)
• “LJB 460 Circuit Pack” (A-14)
• “LNW67 Circuit Pack” (A-16)
• “LNW68 Circuit Pack” (A-17)
• “LNW70 Circuit Pack” (A-18)
• “LNW71 Circuit Pack” (A-19)
• “LNW74 Circuit Pack” (A-21)
• “VLNC15 Circuit Pack” (A-22)
• “X4-IPv2 Circuit Pack” (A-23)
• “X8EPL Circuit Pack” (A-24)

SAN A storage area network (SAN) is a high-speed, special-purpose

network or subnetwork that interconnects different types of data
storage devices with associated data servers on behalf of a larger
network of users. Typically, a SAN is part of the overall network of
computing resources for an enterprise.
A SAN is usually clustered near other computing resources such as
mainframes; but a SAN can also extend to remote locations for

backup and archival storage, using WAN carrier technologies such as

ATM or SONET.
A SAN connection is a non-switched, point-to-point connection
between two SAN ports. The transport service is provided by using
dedicated bandwidth between the endpoints.
The “LNW73 Circuit Pack” (A-20) circuit pack supports SAN
connections types.

Non-switched provisioning To provision non-switched services, refer to “Add a Non-switched

tasks Service” (6-6), “Modify a Non-switched Service” (6-12), and “Delete
a Non-switched Service” (6-15).

Non-switched mapping For circuit packs that support non-switched services, the following
techniques non-switched mapping techniques are available:
• With fixed odd mapping, when a user selects a LAN port, its
mapping to a WAN port is performed automatically; however, the
mapping between LAN and WAN ports is such that the first
LAN port uses the first WAN port and the second LAN port uses
the third WAN port. (The second and fourth WAN ports may not
be used.) Hence, the term odd is used.
The following circuit packs support fixed odd mapping:
- “LNW67 Circuit Pack” (A-16)
- “LNW68 Circuit Pack” (A-17)
• With fixed 1-to-1 mapping, when a user selects a LAN port, its
mapping to a WAN port is performed automatically; however, the
mapping is such that the nth LAN port uses the nth WAN port.
Hence, the term 1-to-1 is used.
The following circuit packs support fixed 1-to-1 mapping:
- “BBG23 Circuit Pack” (A-4)
- “DI-EPL_E1/4+4 Circuit Pack” (A-5)
- “DI-EPL_E1/4+32_75 Circuit Pack” (A-6)
- “GE1/LX4 KFA532 Circuit Pack” (A-7)
- “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8)
- “LNW70 Circuit Pack” (A-18)
- “LNW71 Circuit Pack” (A-19)
- “LNW73 Circuit Pack” (A-20)
- “LNW74 Circuit Pack” (A-21)

Issue 1, January 2005
Non-switched Service Concepts Non-switched Service

- “VLNC15 Circuit Pack” (A-22)

- “X8EPL Circuit Pack” (A-24)
• With flexible mapping, the LAN and WAN ports do not have a
fixed association, and the user must select both a LAN and WAN
port.
The following circuit packs support flexible mapping:
- “IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12)
- “LJB 459 Circuit Pack” (A-13)
- “LJB 460 Circuit Pack” (A-14)

or fixed 1-to-1 mapping, the Ethernet capable link is automatically
specified; you cannot change it. Refer to “Non-switched mapping
techniques” (6-4) for details. If a matching Ethernet capable link does
not exist, the field will be empty.
If a circuit pack supports fixed mapping, the Ethernet capable link
specified must terminate on the appropriate WAN ports
In addition, if the Ethernet capable link was created via flow through
provisioning, the name for the Ethernet capable link in this field does
not determine the VCG name. The Ethernet capable link is determined

in the VCG Provisioning Form. Therefore, in this instance, the

Ethernet capable link field is a read-only field.

Switched Services Concepts

Switched service defined A switched service is one of the Ethernet services in which a series of
VCGs are created between contiguous WAN points in a point-to-point
manner on two or more NEs.

Types of switched services The switched services are the following:

• “Transparent LAN service” (7-2)
• “Virtual LAN service” (7-2)

Transparent LAN service A Transparent LAN service is a multipoint, packet-based switched

service between two or more Ethernet LAN ports. The subscriber
traffic may not be multiplexed at the LAN ports. All packet-based
service information resides with the end customer systems, rather than
with the transport network. In a transparent LAN, a VLAN ID is
added to all traffic coming into a service-provider network, and it is
removed as the traffic leaves the network. As its name suggests, a
transparent LAN service is never obvious to the end customer.
Since a transparent LAN is a multipoint switched service, a spanning
tree routing algorithm is used for routing traffic through the WAN
ports in the virtual switch network providing the service.
When any transparent LAN exists on a virtual switch network with
the Lucent Proprietary Transparent tag mode, the transparent LAN
can be discovered, viewed, and deleted through the management
system. However, such a transparent LAN cannot be added or
modified through the management system.

Virtual LAN service A Virtual LAN service is a multipoint, packet-based switched service
between two or more Ethernet LAN ports. The subscriber traffic can
be multiplexed at the LAN ports. All packet-based service information
is shared between the transport network and Ethernet customer
systems by means of the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID tag that is used to
address and route Ethernet frame traffic. Traffic on a LAN port may
have been preclassified based on the VLAN ID and User Priority
fields by an end-user device, or, as an optional feature, by the
transport network. This type of service uses VLAN IDs to address and
route Ethernet frames through the service provider network.

Switched Services Concepts Switched Service

Since a virtual LAN is a multipoint switched service, a spanning tree

algorithm is used for routing traffic through the WAN ports in the
virtual switch network providing the service.
Virtual LAN is also known as 802.1Q service.

Switched service To provision switched services, refer to “Add a Switched Service”

provisioning tasks (7-5), “Modify a Switched Service” (7-12), and “Delete a Switched
Service” (7-17).

Circuit packs that support The following NE circuit packs support switched service:
switched service
• “GE1/LX4 KFA532 Circuit Pack” (A-7)
• “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8)
• “IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12)
• “LJB 459 Circuit Pack” (A-13)
• “LJB 460 Circuit Pack” (A-14)
• “IP-GE/2 LKA12 Circuit Pack” (A-9)
• “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53 Circuit Pack” (A-10)
• “LNW66 Circuit Pack” (A-15)
• “LNW67 Circuit Pack” (A-16)
• “LNW68 Circuit Pack” (A-17)
• “LNW70 Circuit Pack” (A-18)
• “X4-IPv2 Circuit Pack” (A-23)

VLAN ID registration on Ethernet circuit packs are required to register VLAN IDs on WAN
WAN ports ports for Ethernet switched services. Each circuit pack uses one of the
following registration methods:
• Manual registration of VLAN IDs, which is only supported with
the “LNW66 Circuit Pack” (A-15), “LNW67 Circuit Pack”
(A-16), “LNW68 Circuit Pack” (A-17), and “LNW70 Circuit
Pack” (A-18)
• Automatic VLAN ID registration using GARP VLAN
Registration Protocol (GVRP), which uses Generic Attribute
Registration Protocol (GARP) in the registration process. This
VLAN registration method, which is referred to as GVRP, is
supported with the “DI-EPL_E1/4+4 Circuit Pack” (A-5),
“DI-EPL_E1/4+32_75 Circuit Pack” (A-6), “GE1/LX4 KFA532

Circuit Pack” (A-7) , “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8),

“IP-GE/2 LKA12 Circuit Pack” (A-9), “IP-GE/2F-OS LKA53

Hub-and-Spoke Service

Hub-and-Spoke Services Concepts

Hub-and-spoke services A hub-and-spoke service is an IEEE 802.1Q-based Ethernet service in

defined which multiple private line services are aggregated into a single
trunked port that leads to a global resource. Hub-and-spoke service is
made possible through the circuit packs of the particular NE.
For example, if an end customer requests a private line between their
Ethernet network and some global resource of the Service Provider,
such as Internet access, the Service Provider could offer the end
customer an individual Private Line service, or to avoid exhausting
ports on the resource, the Service Provider could offer hub-and-spoke
services.
A hub-and-spoke service consists of a hub LAN port and spoke LAN
ports. The hub LAN port aggregates all of the traffic from each spoke
LAN port. At each spoke LAN port, a private line is provisioned. At
the hub LAN port, a virtual switch is provisioned and an IEEE
802.1Q compliant service is created for each spoke port. At the VCG
port for the spoke, the default VLAN ID is enabled.
The server connection for a hub-and-spoke service is the VCG.
Besides directly connecting a spoke to a hub through a single VCG,
an intermediate node can be used for further aggregation. In such
instances, a second VCG, which is known as a LAN extension, is
specified. This LAN extension can be repeated for multiple spokes,
which allows for further aggregation. Any circuit pack that can act as
the hub circuit pack can also be the end of a LAN extension.

Hub-and-spoke service To provision hub-and-spoke services, refer to “Add a Hub-and-Spoke

provisioning tasks Service” (8-4), “Modify a Hub-and-Spoke Service” (8-9), and “Delete
a Hub-and-Spoke Service” (8-12).

Circuit packs that support The following NE circuit packs support hub-and-spoke service as a
hub-and-spoke service hub. (Any circuit pack that supports non-switched, private line service
can be a spoke.)
• “GE1/LX4 KFA532 Circuit Pack” (A-7)
• “GE1/SX4 KFA13 Circuit Pack” (A-8)
• “IP-LAN/8 LKA4 Circuit Pack” (A-12)

Ethernet Management Database Synchronization

Database Synchronization for Ethernet Management

Database synchronization Database synchronization is a management system process in which

definition information about the configuration and alarm status of an NE in the
network is collected and stored in the database of the management
system. Database synchronization keeps the management system view
of the network current with changes that have occurred in the
network.

Database synchronization Any user with the appropriate user role profile can invoke a database
functional overview synchronization from the management system interface. See the
Navis® OMS Administration Guide for details regarding the
appropriate user role profile needed.
Once a database synchronization is invoked, the management system
obtains updated information from managed NEs about non-switched
services, virtual switch networks, switched services, and
hub-and-spoke services that have been added or deleted, or component
changes that have been made in these managed objects (including
LAN ports, Ethernet-capable links, virtual switches, VLAN IDs, port
tags, and spanning tree groups) since the last database
synchronization, and synchronizes the database with the current
network configuration of these objects. The management system also
retrieves and reports erroneous conditions due to a component change
in an NE that affects the addition of a virtual switch network or
switched service. Once a database synchronization is invoked, the
activity is recorded in the User Activity Log.
If a virtual switch network, a switched service, a non-switched
service, or a hub-and-spoke service object is not in an order state of
In Effect, the database synchronization process does not make any
changes to that object or to the ports in that object.
Only one database synchronization can be performed at a time.
If a user attempts to perform an action that affects the network
configuration while a database synchronization is in progress, an error
message is issued and the action is rejected.

Non-switched service When performing a database synchronization, the Ethernet

database synchronization Management feature only detects and manages private line
non-switched services. In addition, only end-points that are on the

Database Synchronization for Ethernet Ethernet Management Database Synchronization
Management

Metropolis® ADM (Compact Shelf), Metropolis® ADM (Universal

Shelf), Metropolis® AM, Metropolis® AM-S, Metropolis® AM-U,
and WaveStar® ADM 16/1 (which are the CMISE NEs) are detected
and managed; other NEs are ignored.
Because the Ethernet capable link and LAN ports are fundamental
components of a non-switched service, if either one were changed, the
service is first deleted. The user must then re-run the database
synchronization process to create the new service—the management
system does not detect that either the Ethernet capable link or the
LAN ports were changed.

VSN database When performing a database synchronization, the management system

synchronization views a virtual switch network (VSN) to be derived from a set of
virtual switches. For new VSNs and for extending existing VSNs, the
set of virtual switches is determined based on their connectivity
through Ethernet capable links. Because the management system does
not currently require connectivity, modification and deletion are not
performed using connectivity.

Switched service database When performing a database synchronization, the management system
synchronization supports two types of switched service synchronization:
• Transparent LAN synchronization
• Virtual LAN synchronization

Hub-and-spoke service When performing a database synchronization for hub-and-spoke

database synchronization service, the management system detects a hub-and-spoke service
based on the examination of virtual switch networks and switched
services and the findings of those examinations. The examinations and
the findings of the examinations include the following these phases:
During the VSN synchronization phase, the management system
looks for virtual switches that have both of the following two
configurations:
• One LAN port and one or more WAN ports for each WAN port
• An Ethernet capable link that terminates in two different virtual
switches (for a flexible non-switched service mapping) or has one
end in one virtual switch and the other end in no virtual switch
(for a fixed non-switched service mapping)
If such a virtual switch is found, it is saved and not processed as part
of the VSN synchronization.

Issue 1, January 2005
Database Synchronization for Ethernet Ethernet Management Database Synchronization
Management

During the switched service synchronization phase, the management

system looks for IEEE 802.1Q-based VLANs that have both of the
following two configurations:
• one WAN port assigned to a customer role that has a default
VLAN ID assigned
• one LAN port
If such a VLAN is found, the management system saves it and does
not process it as part of Switched Service synchronization.
During the non-switched private line phase, the management system
retrieves private line associations that can map between an Ethernet
Capable Link and a LAN port.
Once these three phases are examined, the management system,
compares anything that resembles the representation of hub-and-spoke
services (from combining the objects in the above steps) with the
hub-and-spoke services in the database to create, modify, and delete
them. Anything not matching the representation of a hub-and-spoke
service is reported in discrepancy output.

Database synchronization A database synchronization for the Ethernet Management feature

frequency should be performed if changes to managed NEs within the network
have been made by an outside interface (such as a CIT) that might
affect virtual switch networks or switched services.

Circuit Pack Characteristics

Lucent Ethernet over Lucent’s hybrid NEs combine SONET/SDH transport with Layer 2
SONET/SDH NEs Ethernet, which is the OSI data link layer. Each Ethernet circuit pack
functions as if it were an Ethernet bridge, which is a network
component used to connect or isolate network segments. See
“Ethernet bridges” (2-4) for details.

Supported NEs and their The circuit packs and their transmission speeds that Lucent NEs
circuit packs support are the following:
• The Fast Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Private Line circuit packs,
which have Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mb/sec LAN ports)
• The Gigabit Ethernet circuit packs, which have Gigabit Ethernet
ports (1000 Mb/sec LAN ports).
• The Storage Area Network circuit packs, which have Storage
Area ports (200 Mb/sec to 2000 Mbps depending on the tagging
mode).
The following table lists the NEs and the appropriate circuit packs
that support the Ethernet Management feature. Most of these circuit
