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.

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
1
. Both ports also support flow
control (forced collisions in half duplex and PAUSE frames in full duplex).
1.When forcing 10 or 100 Mbps, a crossover cable may be needed.

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.

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
The R821-1S requires one small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optic.
Optics are shipped separately.

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
Page 20

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.

Use the link (LK) LEDs on the front panel of the card to verify correct
segment connectivity. As you insert the cable into each port, the LK LED
will be lit if the following conditions are met:
• Power is being applied to the chassis.
• There is an active device connected to the other end of the cable, and
it is sending idle link signals.
• All connections are secure and the cables are undamaged.
• Both ends of the cable are set to the same auto-negotiation state. To
maximize device compatibility, the R821 is shipped with auto-negotiation enabled on both ports. If necessary, disable auto-negotiation and
set full duplex on the fiber port of the remote device to establish link.

Remote Management Statistics
Through software, you can view Remote Monitoring (RMON) statistics
for the Radiance 10/100 Mbps services line card.
Each port on the card supports the complete RMON Group 1 statistics
outlined in RFC 2819 and RFC 3273.
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.
The following table describes the available management options along
with the security vulnerabilities associated with each configuration.

Once a management VID has been configured, set it back to 0 to disable
VLAN management.
The R821 transparently passes reserved multicast protocols such as
IEEE 802.3ad, BPDU, GMRP, and GVRP. Transporting these protocols,
however, can introduce additional possibilities for denial-of-service
attacks including traffic volume from:
• MAC addresses 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through 01-80-C2-00-00-10
— BPDU
— 802.3 slow protocols (LACP, Marker and OAM)

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-
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. The
default zeroconf IP address is in the 169.254.0.0 network, the network
mask is 255.255.0.0, and the gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
4.The timeout period depends on the number of retries. The timeout period is configurable from 4 sec-
onds (# of retries = 1) up to 124 seconds (number of retries = 5).

Copper Line
Quality (CLQ)
Tester
Note: Do not send ARP requests (pings) to the R821 during its initialization. All ARP requests received during the probing phase
preted as address collisions and discarded. If a collision occurs, the
R821 will immediately discard the address it is verifying and generate
another one.
If DHCP is enabled, every five minutes following a successful selfgenerated address assignment, the R821 will attempt to acquire its
addressing information by locating a DHCP server.
If DHCP is disabled, the R821 will maintain its last known IP addressing
information regardless of how the information was acquired, even if it
was self-generated using zeroconf.
The R821 features a built-in cable tester that uses time domain reflectometry to identify and locate problems along the copper cable on Port 1. If
a fault occurs, you can initiate the CLQ test via software and to see what
type of problem occurred (open circuit, short circuit, or impedance
mismatch). The test also provides the distance to the fault along the
cable from the R821. The distance accuracy is +/- 2 meters.

Far End FaultFar End Fault (FEF) is only applicable to the fiber port (Port 2). FEF
allows a management station to receive notification of a failure in a
remote R821’s fiber port receiver. When two services line cards are
connected through their fiber ports, FEF allows the local card to detect a
failure in the remote card’s fiber receiver. When FEF is enabled, the local
R821 will send an SNMP alarm to its trap destination(s) if a Far End
Fault condition is detected. No alarm will be sent if the condition occurs
but FEF is disabled.
Flow ControlFull-Duplex Flow Control
Full-duplex flow control is provided to avoid dropping frames during
periods of network congestion. If flow control is enabled, the port will
issue a PAUSE frame whenever there is no buffer space available for
incoming frames. Full-duplex flow control applies only when the port is in
full-duplex mode with auto-negotiation enabled. Additionally, during the
negotiation process, the port’s link partner must indicate support for
PAUSE frames.
5.The probing phase lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Management

The following table describes when full-duplex flow control is enabled or
disabled. In the table, “Port 1’s Link Partner” is the flow control capability
of the device connected to Port 1. The Link Partner’s capability is
obtained through auto-negotiation. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled, and X =
not applicable.

Half-Duplex Flow Control
When a port is operating at half duplex, the R821 provides an option to
activate backpressure flow control. If half-duplex flow control is enabled,
the card will generate a jamming pattern to force a collision whenever it
cannot allocate a buffer for the port’s incoming frames.
ICMPThe R821 supports Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to confirm
basic network connectivity. By default, the unit is enabled to respond to
all ping requests. Through software, you can reconfigure the R821 as
follows:
• Only unicast ICMP messages are processed. The card will not process
ICMP messages sent to IP multicast, IP subnet broadcast, and IP
limited broadcast addresses.
• All ICMP messages are not processed
• All ICMP messages are processed
Note: The ICMP setting cannot be reconfigured at runtime.

Loopback
Modes
Loopback is provided as a means of testing connectivity and link
integrity. The R821 supports the following loopback modes:
• Local Loopback
• Remote Loopback
• OAM Loopback
• Logical Services Loopback
Once loopback is enabled, the R821 can be taken out of loopback using
one of the following means:
• Timeout. The timeout period is configurable from 30 seconds to 5
minutes. The default is 30 seconds.
• Software commands.
• A reset or full power cycle of the card.
• Removing the card and then reinserting it into the chassis.
Local Loopback
Local loopback is provided for testing link integrity on an R821
standalone NID. When local loopback is enabled on a port, the port
returns its incoming data back to the sender, while continuing to receive
and process management frames. Management frames are not looped
back to the sender—only data frames are returned. When local loopback
is enabled, the LBK LED is lit and the other Ethernet port on the card is
disabled.
Local loopback can be enabled on either Port 1 or Port 2, however, it is
typically enabled on Port 2 to evaluate the network segment by using
standard packet-generating test equipment. During local loopback, the
incoming data is transmitted through the entire circuitry of the R821
board, not just the port in loopback mode. This allows the entire circuit to
be tested. RMON statistics are incremented on both ports, even though
the physical interface of the non-loopback port is neither transmitting nor
receiving traffic.

Remote Loopback
Remote loopback is only applicable when two R821 cards are in a backto-back configuration and they are being managed by the R502-M
management card. Remote loopback is performed on one of the ports on
the remote R821. When remote loopback is enabled on a port, the port
returns its incoming data back to the sender, while continuing to receive
and process management frames. Management frames are not looped
back to the sender—only data frames are returned. During remote
loopback, the LBK LED on the remote R821 is lit and its non-loopback
port is disabled. The LBK LED on the local R821 remains off.
Remote loopback can be enabled on either Port 1 or Port 2, however, it
is typically enabled on Port 2 to evaluate the data flow using standard
packet-generating test equipment, as shown in the illustration below.
During remote loopback, the incoming data is transmitted through the
entire circuitry of the remote R821 board, not just the port in loopback.
This allows the entire circuit to be tested. RMON statistics are incremented on both ports, even though the physical interface of the nonloopback port is neither transmitting nor receiving traffic.

OAM Loopback
OAM loopback is only applicable to when two R821 services line cards
are in a back-to-back configuration with both cards connected through
their network ports. By using the 802.3ah management channel, OAM
loopback is initiated from the local R821 and performed on the remote
R821. During OAM loopback, data on the fiber line is looped at the
remote R821, returned to the local R821, and terminated there.
Because the data stream is stopped at the local R821, you do not need
any external test equipment to determine the quality of the network
segment. Instead, you can simply view the counters for the two services
line cards to see if the data is passing properly.

To perform OAM loopback, the following conditions must be met:
• The administrative OAM state must be enabled on both the port
which will initiate loopback and its remote peer.
• The OAM mode must be active on the port which will initiate
loopback.
• The network port on both the local and remote R821 must be in full-
duplex mode. (OAM is not supported on half-duplex links.)
• The OAM loopback status must be set to start.
If all the conditions are satisfied, the remote R821 will begin looping back
data when the local R821 initiates OAM loopback. During OAM
loopback, the remote R821 disables its non-loopback port and returns its
incoming data on the network port back to the local R821. (Management
frames are processed but not looped — only data frames are returned.)
When the data frames arrive back at the local R821, they are terminated.
During OAM loopback, the LBK LED is lit on the remote R821. The LBK
LED on the local R821 remains off.
Logical Services Loopback
Logical Services Loopback, a patent-pending feature of the R821,
enables you to perform loopback testing on the network port (Port 2)
without stopping the flow of normal data. Logical Services Loopback is
an in-service function that loops only specific frames. These frames are
identified by the following:
• A unique factory-assigned unicast MAC address.
• A user-defined multicast MAC address.
Through software, either one or both addresses may be selected to
identify Logical Services Loopback frames. The R821 also provides a
frame counter which records the total number of unicast and multicast
frames that have been looped.
Management
Page 36

Upon receiving a Logical Services Loopback frame, the R821 services
line card performs the following operations, which are illustrated below:
• Extracts the source MAC address from the incoming frame.
• Inserts the source MAC address into the destination MAC address field
(shown in red).
• Sets the new source address to the Loopback MAC address (shown in
blue).
• Calculates the new Frame Check Sequence (FCS) and replaces the
existing FCS with the new value at the end of the frame, which is then
transmitted back to the sender.

By default, Port 2 is enabled to respond to management frames such as
ARP requests and SNMP commands. This feature is disabled on Port 1 by
default. Port management can be disabled on either port, however, it
cannot be disabled on both ports simultaneously. When management is
disabled on either port, the DIS LED turns green. A port with management
disabled discards all management frames, but data frames continue to be
received and transmitted normally.
Radiance 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card
Page 37
35
Port StateYou can independently enable or disable the port state on either port of
the services line card. Disabling the port state stops the flow of data to
and from that port. Although data is neither sent nor received, the
disabled port continues to accept, process, and transmit management
frames. However, if LLCF is enabled and the opposite port has no link,
management frames will not be transmitted.
Rate LimitingBy default, each port allows data to flow at full line speed. The R821
supports bandwidth management that allows you to restrict the data rate
independently on each port. You can set the maximum speed on a port to
any of the following rates:
128 kbps2 Mbps
256 kbps4 Mbps
512 kbps8 Mbps
1 Mbps100 Mbps
Rate limiting consists of two parts, the rate and the state, both of which
are configurable. The rate is any of the values listed above. The state
activates or cancels rate limiting. When the rate limiting state is disabled,
the data flows without any restrictions as fast as the link allows, even if
the rate is configured to a slower setting.
When rate limiting is enabled, the data transmission rate does not
exceed the value specified. Because the R821 is a two-port device for
data transmission, setting the limit on Port 1 automatically limits the
egress (outbound) data rate on Port 2 to the same limit. Similarly, setting
the rate limit on Port 2 automatically sets the egress rate on Port 1. For
example, if you set the rate limit on Port 2 to 4 Mbps, the maximum rate
at which data can exit Port 1 will also be 4 Mbps. Port 1 and Port 2 can
be set to different rates.

Traffic
Prioritization
The R821 supports Class of Service (CoS) with four priority queues (0
low, 3 high). CoS allows you to assign mission-critical data to a higher
priority, so they are processed before less critical traffic during times of
network congestion. The four CoS queues determine the priority for
transmitting data. Queues can be based on any of the following classifications:
• priority bits (p-bits) in the VLAN header
• DSCP/TOS (differentiated services code point / type of service) bits
in the header of IP frames
• default port priority bits
Precedence
By default, both p-bits and DSCP classifications are disabled, and only
the port priority is used to determine the queue for each incoming frame.
The default port priority setting is not configurable; it is always enabled.
However, the other two classifications may be enabled/disabled independently. When there is more than one classification enabled, the R821
allows you to set the precedence to determine which classification will be
used first. By default, the precedence from highest to lowest is as
follows:
1. p-bits
2. DSCP bits
3. port
This means that if the frame received is priority-tagged, the p-bits will be
used to select the queue for sending the message. If the frame received
is untagged and is an IP frame, then the DSCP bits will be used to select
the queue for sending the message. If the frame is untagged and is not
an IP frame, or if both DSCP and p-bits classification are disabled, then
the default port priority will be used to select the queue. The port priority
always has the lowest precedence.
The table below describes the settings required for the various
precedence sequences supported by the R821.
The R821 supports Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) classification and provides four pre-defined models which map each DSCP
value to a queue.
The general format for the Differentiated Services field is shown below:
DS5DS4DS3DS2DS1DS0ECN=0ECN=0
The first six bits (DS5 through DS0) are the DSCP bits. The last two bits,
the Early Congestion Notification (ECN) bits, are set to 0 and not used by
the R821.
The R821 provides the following pre-defined DSCP models:
• TOS (Type of Service)
• SP (Straight Precedence)
• EF (Expedited Forwarding) This is the default option.
• AF (Assured Forwarding)
The R821 also supports a free form configuration, which allows you to
define your own DSCP-to-queue mappings. Refer to “Free Form
Settings” on page 41.
The DSCP bit value to queue mappings are provided below:
The classification of p-bits to traffic types is defined in IEEE 802.1D and
802.1ad (Provider Bridge). The R821 supports both models as well as a
free form, which allows you to define how each p-bit value will be
mapped to a queue. For more information about free form configuration,
refer to “Free Form Settings” on page 41.
When the 802.1D model is selected, the priority from highest to lowest is
Voice (< 10 ms latency and jitter), Controlled Load, Best Effort, and
Background. The 802.1D p-bits-to-queue settings are as follows:
000: 1001: 0010: 0011: 1
100: 2101: 2110: 3111: 3
When Provider Bridge is selected, the priority from highest to lowest is
Network Control, Voice (< 10 ms latency and jitter), Critical Applications,
and Best Effort. The Provider Bridge p-bits-to-queue settings are as
follows:
000: 0001: 0010: 1011: 1
100: 2101: 2110: 3111: 3
Default Port Priority
The priority bits on each port can be set independently to any value
between 0 and 7. When a port receives an untagged frame, or when both
DSCP and p-bits classifications are disabled, the frame is assigned to
the default port priority. Each priority value is mapped to a queue based
on the selected p-bits model (IEEE 802.1D or Provider Bridge). By
default, both ports are set to the lowest priority queue, 0. This means all
frames received without priority information are assigned to queue 0. It
also means all received frames are assigned to queue 0 when DSCP
and p-bits classifications are disabled.
When the IEEE 802.1D model is selected, the priority-to-queue
mappings are as follows:
0:11:02:03:14:25:26:37:3
When the Provider Bridge model is selected, the priority-to-queue
mappings are as follows:
0:01:02:13:14:25:26:37:3
Radiance 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card
Page 43
41
For example, if Port 2’s priority is set to 2 and the p-bits model is Provider
Bridge, then an untagged frame entering Port 2 will be assigned a priority
of 2. According to the Provider Bridge model, priority 2 is mapped to
queue 1, and so the frame will be processed at that priority level. Later, if
you change the p-bits model to IEEE 802.1D and keep the priority at 2,
then an untagged frame entering Port 2 will be mapped to queue 0,
because priority 2 is mapped to queue 0 under the 802.1D model.
Free Form Settings
The R821 provides four DSCP models and two p-bit models that match
pre-defined bits to a particular queue. The R821 also provides a Free
Form option that gives you the ability to individually map any DSCP or pbit value to one of the four queues.
When Free Form is specified, the R821 starts with the last configured
settings. For this reason, it is best to begin with the model that has the
closest resemblance your preferred settings. For example, if Expedited
Forwarding (EF) was the selected model before Free Form was
specified, all the DSCP bits will start with the EF mappings. From there,
you can make changes to individual bit values.
DSCP Free Form Configuration
1. Enable DSCP and set the model to Free Form (FF).
2. Specify the six binary DSCP bits you want to configure.
3. Specify the queue that will be mapped to the bits specified in the
previous step.
Example:This example shows how to map the DSCP bits 000111
and 001000 to queue 3.
Console> set dscp enable model FF
Console> set freeform dscp 000111 queue 3
Console> set freeform dscp 001000 queue 3
P-Bits (IEEE 802.1p) Free Form Configuration
1. Enable p-bits and set the model to Free Form (FF).
2. Specify the three binary p-bits you want to configure.
3. Specify the queue that will be mapped to the bits specified in the
previous step.
Example:This example shows how to set the p-bits 010 to queue 2,
and p-bits 100 to queue 4.

VLAN TaggingThe R821 supports three bridge forwarding modes:
• Transparent (default)
• Q-in-Q
• IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN tagging only applies to egress traffic in Q-in-Q and IEEE 802.1Q
modes. Both modes operate under an inclusive model, and one port
must be designated as the trunk port and other as the access port. By
default, the access port is Port 1 and the trunk is Port 2. VLAN tagging
and untagging rules are described in detail under “Q-in-Q Mode” on
page 44 and “IEEE 802.1Q Mode” on page 47.
The diagram below shows the VLAN tag format:
Tag Control Info
(2 bytes = 8100)
P-Bits
(3 bits)
Canonical Indicator
(1 bit = 0)
VID
(12 bits)
Q-in-Q and IEEE 802.1Q modes require a port VLAN identifier (PVID).
The default PVID is 1. The PVID is configurable and assigned as part of
a VLAN tag to untagged frames, thus allowing untagged traffic to participate in VLAN assignments. In Q-in-Q mode, the PVID is also assigned
to tagged frames as a second, or outer, tag. When the PVID is
configured, it is applied to both ports and is persistent through device
resets (i.e., the PVID is changed only when modified via software
commands).
In addition to the PVID, a VLAN tag includes three priority bits. These
bits are derived from the p-bits that were used by the R821 for internal
queuing.
Configuring the PVID alone, without enabling Q-in-Q or IEEE 802.1, will
not alter traffic. To activate VLAN tagging, you must do the following:
Q-in-Q VLAN Tagging
1. Specify transparent mode using the set switch command. If you
attempt to enable Q-in-Q while the switch is not in transparent mode,
you will receive an error message.
Radiance 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card
Page 45
43
2. Enable Q-in-Q operation using the set qinq command.
3. Specify the port VLAN identifier using the set pvid command, if you
want to use a number other than the default PVID value of 1. This
command also allows you to change the access port to Port 2.
802.1Q VLAN Tagging
1. Specify 802.1Q mode using the set switch command.
2. Specify the port VLAN identifier using the set pvid command, if you
want to use a number other than the default PVID value of 1. This
command also allows you to change the access port to Port 2.
3. Configure the user VLANs using the set uservlan command. This
command also allows untagging on the access port on a per-VLAN
basis.
Management Frames
The bridge forwarding mode does not affect the processing of IEEE
802.3ah OAM management frames. They are always delivered to, and
processed by, the R821’s CPU. DSCP and p-bit elements do not apply to
OAM frames, however, the receiver port’s queuing priority is used to
perform internal queuing. OAM frames are never tagged.
If the management channel is untagged, IP-based management frames
must also be untagged. If a management frame is received with DSCP
elements, those elements will be used for internal prioritization towards
the R821’s CPU. If management is disabled on a port, IP-based
management frames received at that port will be discarded.
If the management channel is VLAN-tagged, IP-based management
frames must be tagged with the configured management VLAN. If a
VLAN-tagged management frame is received with DSCP elements, the
elements will be used for internal prioritization towards the R821’s CPU.
If management is disabled on a port, VLAN-tagged management frames
received at that port will be discarded.
For information about how management frames are processed in Q-in-Q
mode, refer to “Management Frames in Q-in-Q Mode” on page 46.
Management
Page 46

Transparent Mode
Transparent mode is the default setting. In this mode, all tagged and
untagged user frames are forwarded without any modifications. All
untagged Layer 2 control protocols are also forwarded transparently,
however, these frames may be discarded on a per-protocol basis.
If a frame contains DSCP and/or p-bit elements, that information will be
used to perform internal queuing, without changing the user frame.
The example below illustrates how frames are forwarded in transparent
mode. The untagged frame (light blue) is forwarded as an untagged
frame, and the tagged frame (dark blue) with a VLAN ID of 25 is
forwarded without any changes. Traffic in both directions is handled in
the same manner.

Q-in-Q Mode
To extend the VLAN space available under 802.1Q mode, the R821
supports the tagging of tagged frames. This results in a double-tagged
frame that becomes available for use in the service provider or Q-in-Q
domain. Double tagging preserves the original tag and applies a second
VLAN tag that is removed when the frame exits the Q-in-Q domain.
Traffic forwarding in this mode depends on whether a frame arrives at the
access port or the trunk port. The trunk port serves as the interface to the
Q-in-Q domain. VLAN tagging rules for each port are detailed below.
Traffic Forwarding Over the Trunk Port
• All frames received at the access port are forwarded with a VLAN tag
over the trunk port. Regardless of whether they are untagged, prioritytagged or VLAN-tagged, all frames received at the access port are
forwarded with the PVID assigned to them. Untagged Layer 2 control
protocols are forwarded with the PVID, however, these frames may be
discarded on a per-protocol basis. (The default PVID is 1.) All tagged
frames are forwarded with two tags—the PVID and the original tag.
The p-bits in the forwarded frames are derived from the p-bits assigned
Radiance 10/100 Mbps Services Line Card
Page 47
to the queue that was used to store the frame. This is illustrated in the
following example in which the PVID is set to 2 and the tagged frame
has a VLAN ID of 25.

• If a received frame contains DSCP and/or p-bit elements, and the
respective classification mode(s) is/are enabled, then that information
will be used to perform internal queuing, otherwise the access port’s
default port priority will be used for queuing.
Traffic Filtering and Forwarding Over the Access Port
• Priority-tagged frames (i.e., frames with a VLAN ID of 0) arriving at
the trunk port are discarded.
• Untagged frames, including untagged Layer 2 control protocols,
arriving at the trunk port are discarded.
45
• User frames that are single-tagged with the PVID are forwarded, but
with the tag removed.
• User frames that are double-tagged with the PVID are forwarded as
a single-tagged frame. The outer tag, which contains the PVID, is
deleted. The p-bits in the forwarded frames are derived from the pbits assigned to the queue that was used to store the frame.
• User frames which do not include the PVID are dropped.
• If the received frame contains DSCP and/or p-bit elements, that
information will be used to perform internal queuing, otherwise the
access port’s default port priority will be used for queuing.
The following example illustrates how different types of frames are
processed when they arrive at the trunk port in Q-in-Q mode.

Management Frames in Q-in-Q Mode
The R821 provides two options to forward management frames in Q-in-Q
mode when the management channel is tagged. One option encapsulates IP-based management frames and the other bypasses tagging. If
encapsulation is selected, a management frame will egress doubletagged with both the service provider’s tag and the management VLAN
tag. If bypass is selected, a management frame will egress single-tagged
with only the management VLAN tag.
If no management VLAN is configured, outbound management frames
always egress untagged regardless of whether encapsulate or bypass is
selected.
The following table displays how management frames are forwarded in
Q-in-Q mode under various conditions.

IEEE 802.1Q Mode
In this mode, all frames leaving the trunk port are VLAN tagged to
identify the VLAN membership of a frame across bridges. The tag
identifies the frame’s VLAN and prioritization. To properly operate under
IEEE 802.1Q mode, the R821 must be configured with a list of
acceptable user VLANs. Up to 16 VLANs may be specified.
The following sections describe the filtering and forwarding process that
is applied to frames entering the access port and the trunk port.
Traffic Filtering and Forwarding Over the Trunk Port
For user data frames entering the access port, only untagged frames and
tagged frames which match one of the configured user VLANs are
forwarded. All other frames are discarded.
• Untagged frames are forwarded with the PVID assigned to them.
The p-bits in the forwarded frames are not changed.
• Tagged frames, which belong to one of the acceptable user VLANs,
are forwarded without changes to the frame.
• Priority-tagged frames (i.e., frames with a VLAN ID of 0) received at
the access port are forwarded with the the VLAN tag set to the PVID
value. The p-bits in the forwarded frames are not changed.
• Untagged Layer 2 control protocols (L2CP) are forwarded transpar-
ently, however, they may be discarded on a per-protocol basis.
• If the received frame contains DSCP and/or p-bit elements, that
information will be used to perform internal queuing, otherwise the
access port’s default port priority will be used for queuing.
The following example shows how various types of frames arriving at the
access port are processed in 802.1Q mode.

Traffic Filtering and Forwarding Over the Access Port
The only frames that are forwarded from the trunk port to the access port
are the following:
• Untagged Layer 2 control protocols frames. Untagged L2CP are
forwarded transparently, however, they may be discarded on a perprotocol basis.
• Tagged frames containing the PVID. These frames are forwarded as
untagged frames (i.e., the PVID is removed).
• Tagged frames containing one of the configured user VLANs.
Tagged frames containing an acceptable user VLAN are forwarded
without modifications, unless untagging has been enabled. The R821
provides an option to forward frames untagged on a per-VLAN basis. For
example, if the configured user VLANs are 10-25, the access port may
be configured to untag frames for VLANs 10 and 11. Tagged frames,
whose VLANs are 10 or 11, will then be forwarded over the access port
as untagged frames. Tagged frames, whose VLANs are 12-25, will be
forwarded without any modifications, as shown in the illustration below.
The illustration also displays how different types of frames arriving at the
trunk port are processed in 802.1Q mode.

Through software, you can view environmental sensor information for
monitoring the health of the services line card. Each sensor reading
includes the current value along with the minimum and maximum values
for the component. To prevent a potential problem, a trap can be set so a
network manager is notified whenever any sensor threshold is crossed.
For more information on traps, refer to “Traps” on page 101.
Module Sensors
There are five module sensors. Module sensors measure the main circuit
board’s temperature as well as the voltage for the line card’s 1.2, 2.5, 3.3
and 5.0 volt power supplies. The 5.0 volt supply is the input power
source for the services line card. The other supplies are used to power
various components on the circuit board. The module temperature
sensor has an accuracy of ±3° C. The voltage monitoring accuracy is
±1%.
Port Sensors
The R821 includes three SFP port sensors for the fiber port. Information
is provided only when an SFP transceiver which supports diagnostics is
installed in the port. One sensor provides the internal port temperature
reading. The other two sensors provide the optical receive and transmit
power levels for the fiber port. The accuracy of the RX and TX monitors
is typically ±1 dBm.
Upgrading the Operating System Software
The R821 services line card can store two separate versions of the
operating system software. This enables you to revert to a previous
version without having to download the older version again. Downloading
and installing a new revision of the software onto the R821 is performed
via TFTP as configured through SNMP, telnet, CLI, NetBeacon, or
WebBeacon. This section describes the steps necessary to download
and activate a new version of software via SNMP. Instructions on how to
upgrade the OS using the other methods are included in the respective
user guides.
1. Copy the new binary OS image file to a TFTP server that can be
reached by the R821.
Management
Page 52
50
2. Using an SNMP MIB browser, set the following objects in METRO-
BILITY-DOWNLOAD-MIB:
• Set mosDownloadServer to the IP address of the TFTP server.
• Set mosDownloadFilename to the path and filename of the OS file
to load.
• Set mosDownloadLocation to either 3 for the primary OS file
location or 4 for the secondary OS file location. It is recommended
that you download the software into the location that is currently not
in use.
• Set mosDownloadInitiateLoad to 1 to begin loading the file. The
status of the download can be monitored via the mosDownload-Status object.
3. When the value of mosDownloadStatus is flashBurnComplete(4),
set mosDownloadActiveOSImage to the location just loaded to.
That is, 3 if it was loaded to the primary location, or 4 if it was the
secondary location.
4. Reset the board to run the new version of the OS.

Chapter 4: CLI Commands
This section contains a complete listing of all command line interface
(CLI) commands available on the R821. Each command includes a
detailed description of the syntax and associated parameters.
The R821 supports the following three levels of user accounts. The
default login names and passwords for each account are in parentheses.
• User (user/user)
• Administrator (admin/admin)
• Root (root/root)
The list of commands available to each user account is cumulative. That
is, the Administrator account includes all User commands, and the Root
account includes all commands.
Note: For any CLI command, you can start typing the first few letters
and then press the [Tab] key to complete the rest of the command. There
must be enough letters entered to make the command unique.

set qinqDescription: Enable or disable Q-in-Q operation, and optionally bypass
or encapsulate management frames when a management
VLAN is configured.
Parameters: enable – activates Q-in-Q forwarding mode. For more
information, refer to “Q-in-Q Mode” on page 44. Q-inQ operation can only be enabled when the switch is
in transparent mode. If the switch is in 802.1Q mode,
an error message will appear.
disable – Q-in-Q mode is disabled. The forwarding mode
will be determined by the ‘set switch’ setting.
management – encapsulate or bypass management
frames when Q-in-Q is enabled. For more information, refer to “Management Frames in Q-in-Q

bypass – if no management VLAN is configured,
allows all management frames to bypass the service
provider tag on the trunk port. That is, management
frames will egress the trunk port untagged. If the
management VLAN is configured, management
frames will egress single-tagged with only the
management VLAN. This is the default setting.
encapsulate – encapsulates all management frames
when there is a management VLAN configured. This
results in double-tagged management frames. If no
management VLAN is configured, management
frames will egress untagged.

Critical Link Event
The first four types are threshold crossing events
which are generated when a metric exceeds a given
value within a specified window. The other three
types are not threshold crossing events.
Location – Indicates whether the event occurred locally, or
was received from the OAM peer via Ethernet OAM.
Window – For a threshold crossing event, the period over
which the value was measured for the event (e.g.: 5,
when 11 occurrences happened in 5 seconds while
the threshold was 10).
Threshold– For a threshold crossing event, the limit that
was crossed for the event to be logged (e.g.: 10,
when 11 occurrences happened in 5 seconds while
the threshold was 10).
Value – For a threshold crossing event, this indicates the
number of occurrences within the given window that
generated this event (e.g.: 11, when 11 occurrences
happened in 5 seconds while the threshold was 10).
Running Total – The total number of times this occurrence
has happened since the last reset (e.g.: 987, when
987 symbol errors resulted in 18 symbol error
threshold crossing events since the last reset).
Event Total – The total number of times one or more of
these occurrences resulted in an event since the last
reset (e.g.: 18, when 987 symbol errors resulted in
18 symbol error threshold crossing events since the
last reset).

LED Indicators
The Radiance services line card provides several LEDs on the front
panel for the visible verification of unit status and proper functionality.
These LEDs can help with troubleshooting and overall network diagnosis
and management. There are separate receive (RX) and link (LK)
indicators for each port. The following table describes the meaning of
each LED when lit.

Default Hardware Switch Settings
All hardware switches can be overridden through software commands.
The card’s default settings are listed below.
The fiber optic port (Port 2) of the R821 services line card has been
6
designed with LLR
to assist in troubleshooting.
When LLR is enabled, the fiber port’s transmitter shuts down if its
receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. The transmitter will remain off
except to periodically transmit heartbeat pulses. Every second, the transmitter will attempt to establish link for 100 ms.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with good link
status using a services line card for remote connectivity. LLR is enabled
on Port 2.
