Radiance 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card

Chapter 1: Overview

Designed to support the new IEEE 802.3ah standard, Metrobility’s Radiance R821 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card is a manageable two­port copper-to-fiber device capable of remote communications with an off-site unit. A third console port provides a connection for direct management of the R821. Using an in-band management channel, two Radiance services line cards in a back-to-back configuration can communicate without a separate IP address at the remote end. Because an IP address is not needed at every access point, this solution ideally suits large metro access service deployments.
When paired with Metrobility’s NetBeacon services line card provides the highest level of manageability with a user­friendly graphical interface. NetBeacon delivers non-intrusive RMON Group 1 statistics, errored symbol and frame event notifications, and real-time information on power and temperature, along with Dying Gasp capabilities.

Other advanced management features and diagnostics include Metro­bility’s patent-pending Logical Services Loopback (LSL), rate limiting, traffic prioritization into four service class levels, Q-in-Q double tagging, PVID support, built-in copper line quality (CLQ) testing on the copper port, integral temperature and transmit/receive optical power monitoring on the fiber port, Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF), Link Loss Return (LLR), and Far End Fault (FEF). Rate limiting of user data allows control over traffic speed and volume, thus maximizing bandwidth efficiency. LSL, CLQ, LLCF, LLR, and FEF assist in testing and troubleshooting remote connections.
Additional features include management access control which protects the system and network connections from denial of service attacks from the user’s network. By default, management access control automatically discards unauthorized traffic received over the access port, making the device impervious to all traffic conditions and traffic patterns. Access control is also provided by reserving the 0x000 VLAN for use with management. This management VLAN can be made unavailable to users by changing the VLAN ID.
Overview

Two versions of the operational software, the FPGA firmware, and configuration files can be stored on the services line card. New embedded software can be downloaded easily in the field as upgrades become available.
The 10/100 Mbps services line card can be managed as an independent network interface device (NID) with its own IP address. As a NID at the CPE demarcation point, the services line card responds to SNMP requests addressed to unicast and subnet broadcast addresses by deliv­ering information on its health and status as well as its network connection. SNMP provides Internet-standard management and can be used for surveillance and fault management.
The versatile R821-1S provides a 10/100BASE-T port (Port 1) and a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port (Port 2) with numerous wavelength and distance options. Typically, Port 1 is designated as the access port and Port 2 as the network port. To simplify device configu­ration, a third console port is provided for direct access to the services line card’s management agent.
Both Ethernet interfaces on the services line card support VLAN double­tagging, baby giant frames (up to 1532 bytes untagged and 1536 bytes tagged), and auto-negotiation. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the copper port auto-detects MDI-II/MDI-X

. Both ports also support flow
control (forced collisions in half duplex and PAUSE frames in full duplex).

2. Set the Switches

A bank of six DIP switches is located on the back of the card. These switches allow you to select from several modes of operation that only affect the access port (Port 1). Functional switches are clearly marked on the card’s circuit board. Refer to the following table for the proper setting of the DIP switches.
When setting DIP switches, the UP position is when the lever of the DIP switch is pushed away from the circuit board. The DOWN position is when the lever is pushed toward the board.

DIP Switches Auto-Negotiation (AN1)

AN1 is the auto-negotiation switch for Port 1. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the port advertises 10/100 Mbps and half/full duplex capability to its link partner. When auto-negotiation is disabled, the speed and duplex for Port 1 are set through the SPD1 and DUP1 switches.
Note: Speed and duplex are dependent upon auto-negotiation. If AN1 is enabled, the SPD1 and DUP1 switches will be ignored.
Speed (SPD1)
The speed switch applies to Port 1 and is effective only when auto­negotiation (AN1) is disabled. Port 1 is set to 100 Mbps when SPD1 is up, and 10 Mbps when SPD1 is down.
Duplex (DUP1)
The duplex switch applies to Port 1 and is effective only when auto­negotiation (AN1) is disabled. Port 1 is set to full duplex when DUP1 is up, and half duplex when DUP1 is down.

3. Install the SFP Optics

Twisted-Pair Interface

The twisted-pair port provides a shielded RJ-45 connector that supports a maximum segment length of 100 meters.

Fiber Optic Interface

For maximum flexibility in designing or expanding your network, the fiber port supports any of the following Metrobility-supplied small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Each transceiver provides as a set of LC or SC connectors. The maximum distance and cable type supported by the SFP transceivers is as follows:

Important: The distances noted are for reference purposes only. The most important factor to achieve the desired distance is the optical power budget. Metrobility specifications indicate the typical transmit power budget. The actual distance is a function of the fiber type and quality, the number and quality of splices, the type and quality of connectors, the transmission loss, and other physical characteristics.
Installation Guide
18
When making fiber optic connections, make sure that the transmit (TX) optical fiber of the services line card connects to the receive (RX) optical fiber of the connected device, and that the transmit (TX) optical fiber of the remote device connects to the receive (RX) optical fiber of the services line card.

BWDM Interface

The bidirectional wavelength division multiplexed (BWDM) transceiver provides one singlemode SC connector that supports a maximum segment length of 20 km. BWDM transceivers must always be used in complementary pairs. That is, the O383-20-13 must be connected to the O383-20-55.
The O383-20-31 transmits data at a wavelength of 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm. Correspondingly, the O383-20-55 transmits data at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm.

Setting a Secure Management Channel

By default, the R821’s VLAN identifier (VID) is 0, which indicates no internal management VLAN. In this state, the card forwards all untagged SNMP traffic through both ports, as illustrated below. No security is provided, which means any device connected to any port can make configuration changes to the R821.

Through software, you can create a secure management channel by assigning it a new management VID

. The most secure configuration is to have only one port (typically, the network port) enabled for management. This is the recommended configuration, and it allows you to restrict access to the card’s management agent, thus preventing unauthorized modifications and other misuses.

Software Settings

Several functions and settings on the Radiance services line card can be modified only through software commands. This section describes the card’s management features including IP addressing management.
27

IP Addressing Management

You can configure the R821 to obtain its IP addressing information (IP address, network mask, and default gateway) through any of the following means:
DHCP assignment
Manual configuration
Default value
DHCP Assignment
By default, the R821 has DHCP enabled for obtaining its IP addressing information. When DHCP is enabled, the R821 enters a discovery mode to locate a DHCP server. The card makes up to three resolve its IP addressing information. If any of the attempts is successful, the card will use the information assigned by the DHCP server. The card will also save the DHCP server’s IP address along with the address lease time. Once the IP addressing information is acquired, the R821 preserves it in memory and renews it continuously. However, the addressing information is not preserved across power cycles. If the card is reset or loses power, it will enter the discovery mode again and attempt to obtain new IP addressing information.
When DHCP is disabled, the R821 uses its last known IP addressing information (i.e., the address that was used to issue the command to disable DHCP). After the R821 successfully acquires its addressing infor­mation, through whatever means, Metrobility recommends disabling DHCP to ensure that the card always uses this information. IP addressing information is retained across power cycles when DHCP is disabled.
3
attempts to
3.The max number of retires is configurable. The retry count starts at 4 seconds and doubles for each ad-
ditional retry (1 = 4 seconds, 2 = 12 seconds, 3 = 28 seconds, 4 = 60 seconds, 5 = 124 seconds)
Management
28
Manual Configuration
Regardless of the DHCP setting, IP addressing information can be assigned manually. When manually entering the IP addressing infor­mation via SNMP, you must also apply the changes by setting mosAdmi­nApplyIPChanges to 1 in the METROBILITY-ADMIN-MIB. The R821 will verify that the information you entered is valid and begin using the new values if there are no problems. If for any reason there is a conflict, the R821 will send a generic SNMP error.
Saving the IP information across power cycles depends on the DHCP setting:
If DHCP is disabled, the new address will be stored and preserved. If
you want to save the addressing information through resets and power cycles, make sure DHCP is disabled after the information is entered successfully.
If DHCP is enabled, the R821 will enter the discovery mode at each
power cycle and attempt to obtain new IP addressing information. The manually configured information will be maintained across a power cycle only until a DHCP server assigns it a new IP address, or until someone manually enters the IP addressing information again.
Default Value
To return the R821’s IP address, network mask, and gateway back their factory default values, use the reset command and specify the default option. Resetting the board using this method forces all software settings back to their original values.
Start-up Failure
During the initial discovery mode, if a DHCP server is not found within the timeout period information using Zero Configuration Networking (zeroconf) for local intra-subnet communication. Once the default address is generated, the R821 enters a probing phase to verify that the address is unique. If the address is identical to one previously claimed by another device, the R821 will generate a new address repeatedly until it is successful.
