9500 MPR VLAN paths
A VLAN path is a bidirectional service provision path that is used to support alarm
correlation and turn up radio backhaul services on 9500 MPR devices. VLAN paths
use a tree topology. The paths can span NEs that are connected by both radio links
and physical links. You can configure a VLAN path as follows:
• Ring based—An ERPS topology is a collection of Ethernet ring nodes that form
a closed physical loop. Each Ethernet ring node is connected to two adjacent
Ethernet ring nodes via a duplex communications facility. An Ethernet ring can
contain from 2 to 16 Ethernet ring nodes.
• Hop based—Users specify the number of hops from a source 9500 MPR to a
destination 9500 MPR. Each hop in the path is a 9500 MPR that belongs to the
same VLAN group.The following hop-based VLAN path variants are supported.
• Auto—A user defines the head end of the VLAN path, the hops the VLAN path
takes, and optionally, the bandwidth requirements, and whether the shortest path
should be used. The 5620 SAM determines the appropriate available route for the
VLAN path.
• Manual—A user defines the source 9500 MPR, the hops and links the VLAN path
takes, and optionally, the bandwidth requirements.
• Point 2 Point—A user defines the source and destination 9500 MPR, the number of
allowed hops and, optionally, the bandwidth requirements, and whether the shortest
path should be used.
See Procedure 10-2 for more information about creating VLAN paths.
10.2 Workflow to create VLAN services on 9500 MPR devices
Configure VLAN services for subscribers connected to 9500 MPR devices; see the “VLAN
service management” chapter in the 5620 SAM User Guide for the generic procedures
that apply to this device type. Also, configure the following device-specific VLAN
service types and functions.
1 Remove any inconsistencies created due to MIB population failures that can occur
during service creation on a 9500 MPR NE; see Procedure 4-2.
2 Create VLAN groups and add members to each group; see Procedure 10-1.
3 Create the VLAN paths that are required between the 9500 MPR group members.
The VLAN path can be hop based or ring based. See Procedure 10-2.
4 Configure the VLAN endpoints for traffic storm control, VLAN rate limiting, or
dot1q VLAN rate limiting if you need to monitor the input bandwidth; see
Procedure 7-1.
5 Create a VLAN service type; see Procedure 10-3.
6 Associate access interfaces (the physical ports to which end users connect, similar
to SAPs) with the VLAN services. Use the L2 Interfaces tab on the VLAN properties
form to associate VLAN services with the ports used by end users. See the “VLAN
service management” chapter in the 5620 SAM User Guide.
7 Create a CoS rate limiter for 9500 MPR VLANs, if required; see Procedure 10-4.
