Appendix C - Step-by-Step Commissioning Procedures
ML CO - Service Configuration
Determine the relevant Ethernet traffic topology for your site prior to the Actelis systems
configuration, see L2 Network configuration in various topologies (on page G-1). All steps
should be implemented starting from the most remote ML device, to avoid Management
LAN integrity loss during configuration.
1. Configure Ethernet bridge-wide options. If STP is to be used, note the following:
If enabled at bridge level, STP is also enabled per port. To keep HSL out-of autonomous
STP decision to block the port , ensure that STP is disabled on HSL port of CO.
To separate Customer LAN STP, ensure that STP is disabled on ML NE.
2. Configure Ethernet ports:
Ethernet ports are auto-entered and immediately monitored for alarm conditions.
Alarms on ETH<ID> show that adjacent equipment is not connected yet or physical
interface configuration does not match. Connect Ethernet cables and if required,
adjust the configuration. Disable unused Ethernet ports to omit their LOS alarm.
3. Configure VLANs:
5 Traffic VLANs are provided by default. These stack (push additional external
VLAN tag to traffic toward HSL and strip this VLAN in opposite, toward Ethernet
ports direction) and tunnel Ethernet traffic between each Ethernet port and HSL port.
To define or change traffic behavior VLAN should be re-configured according to the
required topology.
To decide about Service Traffic Topology to use, see L2 Network configuration in
various topologies (on page G-1).
4. Configure Quality Of Service parameters, applicable per Ethernet port, or Ethernet
Virtual Connection (SERVICE flows). For more information refer to Ethernet Service
Configuration (on page 10-1).
