• “Parameters for provisioning a LAN unit in repeater mode” (p. 8-114)
• “Ethernet over SDH” (p. 8-24).
Before you begin
Before provisioning a virtual switch determine and check the following:
• the tagging mode of the LAN unit is set to Transparent or IEEE 802.1ad
• the virtual switch name and label
• the LAN port label
• the WAN port capacity
• deleting a virtual switch will detach the associated LAN ports or WAN ports. If
these ports carry traffic, this traffic will be lost
• detaching a LAN port or a WAN port can disrupt traffic over these ports
For provisioning a virtual switch in repeater mode the following procedures must be
performed:
• create a virtual switch and assign a LAN port and WAN ports to the virtual switch
• provision the TUG structure and create cross connections between the WAN port
<-> CC <-> line port
• select the WAN capacity
