Introduction

C HAPTER

HAPTER

BOUT THE

Verilink’s WANsuite 6450 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access device (IAD) that manages voice and data applications in an ATM network. The WANsuite 6450 terminates a standards-based Symmetric High-Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) that originates from a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and provides interfaces for the end user’s communications equipment.

WAN

SUITE

6450

The WANsuite 6450 is ServiceAware™ IAD with the following hardware: an SHDSL network interface; a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) port configurable as T1 or E1; a Serial port software-configurable for V.35, V.36, X.21, RS-232, RS449, or EIA-530; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port; an asynchronous Supervisory port; five tri-color status LEDs; and front panel reset and factory configuration buttons.

The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) support provides for the encapsulation of TDM traffic from end-user equipment into ATM cells for transport across the WAN to the DSLAM and on to the ATM network. This allows for the continued use of existing TDM equipment at the premise while the ATM network continues to grow and move further out to the edge. This unit supports CES over the CBR port and the Serial port.

A router or bridge using PPP/HDLC protocols connects to the WANsuite 6450’s Serial port. The unit encapsulates the PPP data into ATM cells using Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1483. Any router/bridge supporting PPP over ATM (PPPoA) R FC 1483 encapsulation can be used at the other end of this ATM connection.

The IP Gateway feature enables IP packet routing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static routing configuration or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2, or Open Shortest Path Fir st − OSPF), Dynamic Host Communications Protocol − DHCP, and Network Address Translation − NAT.

RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. The WANsuite 6450 then uses this information exchange to build routing tables

About the WANsuite 6450 1-1

for IP Packet routes. After building the routing tables, the unit periodically broadcasts the contents to neighboring routers so your network can choose the most efficien t routes a vailable .

OSPF uses link-state routing algorithms to calculate routes based on the number of routers, transmission speeds, delays, and route costs. Using the OSPF protocol, the WANsuite 6450 works with other routers in your telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routes “on the fly” to make use of the most effici ent and cost-effecti ve transit across y our netw ork.

Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the WANsuite 6450 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to bridge separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.

Because IP Gateway enables the WANsuite 6450 to route IP traffic either statically or dynamically or to bridge IP traffic across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers is substantially reduced. This onestop solution can help you meet the requirements of your many different applications.

DHCP uses a server-client architecture to assign IP Addresses to PCs and workstations on the LAN. The DHCP server dynamically assigns these IP Addresses, which can be either temporary or permanent, to each PC or workstation (DHCP client). These IP Addresses are "housed" on the DHCP server. The flexibility to reassign IP Addresses saves the end user money by eliminating the need for a single IP Address for each piece of equipment on the LAN.

NAT enables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP Addresses − one s et for internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet traffic). This can provide a layer of security for a company by eliminating outside a ccess to in ternal IP Addres ses from t he Int ernet.

The WANsuite 6450 gives service providers and enterprise customers the capability to monitor end-to-end network performance (with support of up to 16 virtual channels); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or ATM network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning.

All of the WANsuite 6450’s installation, performance configuration, traffic monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured through the unit’s embedded Web server interface (WANsight™) using Microsoft

Internet Explorer™ . The Web server interface can be a ccessed locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced monitoring and control capability that gives network administrators the ability to plan future capacity requirements.

The unit’s built-in Service Aware technology lets network managers maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or physical circuit.

Features of the WANsuite 6450

Performance

Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as singlefunction devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address higher-level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's architectur e and Web-based us er interfac e work together to address all acce ss issues such as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for except ional WAN managemen t performan ce.

To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with password control, if desired.

SNMP Management

With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSU/DSUs as a single unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, the WANsuite 6450 can be managed by SNMP. By downloading all configuration parameters from the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish connectivity. The unit allows any port to be configured for any of its available service technologies through simple software configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise network for the lowest cost and highest performance.

Intelligent WA N Access Architecture

Verilink's next-generation WAN access architecture is built around a PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPS of processing power and 16 Mbytes of onboard memory, and works with non-proprietary network management solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for mapping services to ports and a user table for monitoring and controlling traffic.

Overview and Advantages

Verilink’s WANsuite 6450 is an innovative, highly intelligent, software-based WAN access device optimized for ATM over G.shdsl access. This unit provides network managers with all the tools necessary to monitor and troubleshoot voice, data, and network transmission systems. The ability to use the WANsuite 6450 unit as an IP Gateway greatly increases its flexibility, while reducing networking costs. In addition, the WANsuite 6450 is a valuable tool for the following:

ERVER INTERFACE

The WANsuite 6450 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user interface (WANsight) for remote configuration and real-time reporting via Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. Access to the Web server interface and how the interface is used to configure the WANsuite 6450 unit are described in detail below.

NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or

higher because if you use other Internet browsers to access the Web server interface , some screen elemen ts will not disp lay as describe d in this manual.

NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order listed in the

navigation bar on t he left side of the Web Server interface screen. However, because the parameters you specify in the Service Table attach proto cols to inter faces , you m ust c onfig ure t he Serv ice Table first. (See Services as described on page 3-25.) You will not be able to allocate channels (see Channel Table Details Screen as described on page 3-37) un til the Service Table has been configured.

Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4.

Web Server Interface 3-1

Web Server Access

You can access the Web Server interface by connecting to its IP address. This connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, in-band via PPP over any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the ATM WAN circuit.

To access the Web Server interface, type th e unit’s IP address in the browser’s Address (or Location) field and press the “Enter” key.

Layout of Interface Screens

When you first access the Web Server interface, your browser will display a screen that is divided into three frames. The upper frame forms a border across the top of the screen; it identifies the Verilink unit in service and displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which the unit is operating. The far right corner of the upper frame displays whether or not a “Save an d Restar t” is nece ssary when param eters are change d on the currently displayed screen.

Unit Screen

The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The frame on the left side of t his area d epicts a hierarch ical “tree” structure used to navigate through the various interface screens. Each “branch” on the tree guides you to more specific upper-level information about the unit and its configuration. Note that the Interfaces, Applications, and Utilities branches do not link to a page − these branches simply provide structure for navigation. The frame on the right side of the screen will display the actual configuration screen. The screen captures throughout this chapter show only the configurat ion portio n of the screen, except in t he case of the Un it screen , which sh ows all t hree frames . The Un it scr een represe nts the to p of the navigation tree.

The first screen displayed by the unit’s Web Server interface is the Unit screen (Figure 3.1). This screen lets you view and set specific information about the unit in service.

(A Maintenance Reset will not change the unit’s IP address.)

The Serial HDLC configuration and the T1 CBR configuration will also accept PPPoA encapsulated data and deliver it to the Serial port.

The T1 CBR, E1 CBR, and Serial CES configurations set up a CES service between the Network port and the T1/E1 CBR port or the Serial port using VPI=0, VCI=33. The T1 CBR configuration sets up the CBR port to run T1 and has 24 channels delivered to the CES service. The E1 configuration sets up the CBR port to run E1 and has 31 channels delivered to the CES service. The Serial CES configuration sets up the CBR port to run E1, but allocates Channels 1 −31 to the Serial port.

Error Status and Alarm Thresholds Table

The unit can be programmed to generate an alarm condition based on a specific level of performance degradation. The CBR screen presents a table that provides current error status and alarm threshold information.

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 15 minutes (900 seconds) and sampled every second. The error types listed in the following paragraphs can be preset to a value between 0 and 900 seconds. Setting a field to “0” (zero) dis ables the a larm on that st atistic. To effectiv ely disab le alarm reporting , set all fields to “0” (zero).

The 15-minute time frame is not based on the TR 54016 or T1.403 interval boundaries, but is a time window based on the accumulated counts over the previous fifteen 1-minute intervals. In all cases, if the number of actual network errored seconds in the previous 15 minutes reaches the preset threshold for the specified error type, an alarm condition is declared.

The four columns o f the s tatus tab le are as follows:

• Status: Displays the current status of the CBR port.

• Alarm: Display s the alarm value of the network port. The unit declares an

alarm as soon as the count exceeds the threshold set.

• Count: Display s the number of events or occurrences of this stati stic that

have been dete cted .

• Threshold: Displays a read/write field that can be set to a desirable

threshold.

The table provides error sta tus and alarm thre shold in formation f or the following error pa rameters:

Web Server Interface 3-15

Sets the Errored Seconds (ES) threshold. An ES is a 1-second period in which at least one logic error occurred. The default value is 45 seconds.

SES

UAS

CSS

BPVS

OOFS

AISS

Sets the Severely Errored Seconds (SES) threshold. An SES is a 1-second period in which at least 320 CRC errors or one Out- of - Frame (OOF) error occurred. The default value is 5 seconds.

Sets the Loss of Signal Seconds (LOSS) threshold. A LOSS is 1-second period in which the T1/E1 received signal is interrupted. The default value is 5 seconds.

Sets the Unavailable Seconds (UAS) threshold. A UAS is a 1-second period in which consecutive severely errored seconds cause an unavailable state. The default is 0 seconds (Disabled).

Sets the Controlled Slip Seconds (CSS) threshold. The default is 0 seconds (Disabled).

Sets the Bipolar Violation Errored Seconds (BPVS) threshold. A BPVS is a 1second period in which at least one bipolar violation occurred. The default is 0 seconds (Disabled).

Sets the Out of Frame Seconds (OOFS) threshold. An OOFS is a 1-second period in which a frame sync loss occurred. The default value is 5 seconds.

Sets the Alarm Indication Signal Seconds (AISS) threshold. An AIS is a 1second period when unframed all ones are received. The default is 0 seconds (Disabled).

RAS

Reset Timer

Sets the Remote Alarm Seconds (RAS) threshold. An RAS is generated by the terminal equipment when an improper signal is received from the facility (or upon receipt of unframed all ones). The default is 0 seconds (Disabled).

Sets the Reset Timer threshold. This field is the contiguous number of seconds that an alarm parameter must be clear before the alarm is reset. Applicable values range from 000 through 900. A value of “000” means the alarm will never be reset.

The Configuration table on the ATM Service Details screen is used to set the following configuration parameters:

• Max VCC (Virt ual Channel Connection) – Represents the maximum number

of Virtual Channe l Connect ions o n this ATM l ink. By d efault, each VC C will equally share the avail able bandwidth. This value should be kept as low as possible to avoid wasting ban dwidth. The default value is 4.

• Max VPI Bits – The default Max Virtual Path Identifier Bits value is 3 for

VPI values ranging from 0 to 8.

• Max VCI Bits – The default Max Virtual Channel Identifier Bits value is 6

for VCI values ranging from 32 to 63.

• Oversubscr iption Factor − The cur rent over-subscription factor for this ATM

interface. Used for VBR and UBR VC connection admissi on cont rol to allow either the VBR or UB R service category c onnec tions to c ol lective ly use m ore bandwidth than is available to make use of the statistical multiplexing of the connections. Values range from 1 to 10. A value of 1 indicates no oversubscription. A value of 5 indicates 5 times oversubscription of both VBR and UBR is permitted.

NOTICE: CBR connections cannot be oversubscribed Also, if CES is in use on the

interface, PCR is limited for all AAL5 connections to the amount the line rate can support above the commitment for CES, and the oversubscription applies only to bandwidth above the CES commitment.

To change an ATM Service configuration, enter the desired value for each parameter and click on the “Submit” button.

• Unopened VCCs − the current number of unopen virtual channel

connections.

• Line Bandwidth − the current line bandwidth on the ATM Network interface

expressed in cells per second.

• AAL5 Bandwidth − the current ATM bandwidth avail able for AAL5 traffic.

This value is the line bandwidth less the bandwidth needed for AAL1 CES.

• QoS 0 PCR − the current peak cell rate configured for any virtual channels

using default QoS profile.

The Bandwidth Status table provides bandwidth information for three service categories showing the allowed and allocated bandwidth for each.

There are ninety-six 15-minute “buckets” available for ATM statistics. If the unit is powered on at 01:00 PM, the first interval will be completed at 01:15 PM; subsequent intervals would be completed at xx:30, xx:45, xx:00 and xx:15. Interval 1 is always the latest (most recent) interval, and interval 96 will always be the oldest.

The table on the A TM Stat istics sc reen shows a sum mary tha t include s all 96 buckets. You can choose to see the statistics for any given bucket by selecting the desired Period Index from the pull-down menu and clicking the “Submit” button. Alternatively, you can display all intervals at once by clicking the “All ATM Intervals” button beneath the table. The MIB (ipad.mib) describes each available statistic.

The ATM Statistics table is divided into three sections: Transmit, Receive and Status. Each section provides real-time updates on the following statistics:

• Transmit section

• Frames − current number of good frames transmitted

• Errored Frames − current number of frames in error

• Bytes − current number of bytes sent

• Receive

• Frames − current number of good frames received

• Errored Frames − current number of frames in error

• Bytes − current number of bytes received.

• Status

• Opened VCC s − number of opened VCCs

• Unopened VCCs − number of unopened VCCs

Use the pull-down menu in the Period Index row of the table to select the interval for which you want to see ATM statistics. You may choose any of the 96 intervals, the current statistics, or a summary of the past 24-hour period. The default setting is a Summary of all intervals.

When QOS profile “0” is used, the available bandwidth will be equally shared among all configured channels. QOS “0” cannot be modified.

If one virtual channel requires more bandwidth than others, configure another QOS profile and set its peak cell rate (PCR) to the required value. However, the sum of the PCR s of all c onfigur ed chan nels mus t be no greater th an the available AAL5 bandwidth. The available PCR on an SHDSL-ATM link with a line rate of 2304 kbps is about 5433 cells per second. When oversubscription is used, the sum of the PCRs for VBR or UBR channels may exceed th e AAL5 bandwidth .

Encapsulation Type used. Default is Routed IP, which uses RFC 1483 LLC encapsulat ion. If S erial PPP is select ed, PPP traffic rec eived fr om the Serial port will be sent over the ATM port using RFC 1483 PPPoA encapsulation. There can be only one VCI configured for Serial PPP.

Serial HD LC is sim ilar to Serial P PP excep t, when you sele ct Serial H DLC, data is encapsulated transparently. Any type of HDLC traffic will be supported. Because this is not a standard encapsulation, a WANsuite unit must reside at each end of the connection.

Determines the CES services clocking mode, which maps to the transmit clock sou rce of the CBR interface an d Seria l interface (if con figured fo r a CES ser vice). When “Ad aptiv e” tim ing is sele cted, the r eceive AAL 1 pa yload buffer is monitored for predetermined threshold levels to control the frequency of the i nterface c locks. Wh en the buffer dep th exceed s the predetermined upper threshold, the interface clock frequency is increased to cause the buffer to drain more quickly. If the buffer depth falls below the predetermined lower buffer threshold, the interface clock frequency is decreased to cause the buffer to drain less quickly. Both lower and upper threshold levels are used in conjunction with Cell Delay Variation to provide hysteresis around threshold levels.

Values: Synchronous, Adaptive Default: Synchronous

Specifies AAL1 for mat − B asic, E1Cas, Ds1SfCas, or Ds1EsfCas. This value must be set in accordance with the table on page 3-36 for proper operation.

Idle Pattern

Specifies the service to which this channel is allocated. Service Index “0” indicates the channel is not used or is idle. Service Index “4” indicates the channel is allocated to the CBR interface. Service Index “5” indicates the channel is allocated to the Serial interface.

Selects the idle pattern sent by the unit and lets the unit determine if the idle pattern has been sent by the other end.

Values: 0−FF (Hex) Default: 7F

NOTICE: Only channels with a non-zero Service parameter value are assembled

into ATM cells and transported across the SHDSL network. Similarly, received ATM cells should only contain data for channels with a nonzero Service parameter value. When reassembling the data stream from the received ATM cells, only the channels with a non-zero Service parameter will be assigned data from the ATM cells. The non-active channels with a Service parameter of “0” will be filled with an idle pattern.

The number of channels you can allocate for the CES service depends on the available SHDSL bandwidth. The table below shows the maximum number of channels you can allocate for CES for each possible SHDSL data rate. If the required CES bandwidth exceeds the available SHDSL bandwidth, the unit will not allow you to configure the CES service.

To allocat e a chan nel for the CBR interface, set the ch annel’ s “Rate” parameter according to the table shown on page 3-36 and the Service paramete r to the S ervice In dex for t he CBR i nterface (4). To allocate a channel f or the Seri al Interfac e, refer to the paragraph s below.

Serial CES Configuration

The WANsuite 6450 has the capability to multi ple x/demultiplex the Serial interface data stream with the CBR interface data stream. The multiple xing/ demultiplexing is external to the AAL1 SAR; the user controls it by designating time slots for the C ES service on the CBR or Serial port. To configure the Serial interface for CE S service, perform the follo wing steps:

1 On the Services screen (Figure 3.23 on page 3-25), click on the Service

Index associated with the Seria l interface (5). This will cause the unit to display the Service Details screen for the Serial interface. On the Service

Web Server Interface 3-39

2 On the Serial screen (Figure 3.17 on page 3-19), configure the Seria l

interface to your requirements. You must set the “Mode” parameter to “DCE.” If the required time slots for the Serial interface are contiguous and not already all ocat ed to the CBR port , yo u may allocat e t he req u ired channels on the Serial scree n. I f you have not allocated channels for the Serial interface on the Serial screen, use the Channel Table Details screen (Step 3 below) to specify the channels for the Serial CES service.

3 On the Channel Table Details screen (Figure 3.33 on page 3-37), set the

desired channel’s “Ra te” para meter to “64K,” and the “Service” parameter to the Service Index for the Serial interface (5).

Valid Channel Ranges for Serial and CBR Interfaces

The range of channels available to the Serial interface depends on the type of CES service. The table below shows the range of channels available to the Serial and CBR interfaces for each type of CES servi ce. The type of CES service and the SHDSL data rate shown in the table on page 3-38 limit the total number of channels that can be allocated to the Serial interface.

In addition, the Timestam p field in dicates th e time a t which a packet w as exam ined for the specified IP Address.

The IP Gateway is a feature that allows routing of IP packets from one network to another using static routes configuration and/or dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 1 or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.

RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.

OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path as the be st path.

While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent via more than one interface simultaneously.

Static ARP Table Screen

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used by the router to dynamically associate a high-level IP Address to a low-level physical hardware address. ARP packets are only sent across a single physical network.

There are some cases when an IP-compatible device does not support ARP or ARP is deliberately disabled (for security). In these cases, instead of using ARP to dynamically update the router internal MAC <-> IP Address Table, this menu can force an entry into that table. This entry never times out.

At least o ne circui t must b e defined to create a Static A RP Table entry because an ARP entry is always associated with a circuit.

The static ARP ta ble is useful when a Host does not respond to an ARP request. Access this menu by selecting “Static ARP Table” from the RIP Parameters screen on the IP Gateway menu.

Virtual Link Table Screen

To permit maximum flexibility, OSPF allows the configuration of virtual links to enable the backbone area to appear contiguous despite the physical reality.

In OSPF, the backbone is defined as an Area ID of 0.0.0.0. This backbone cannot be disconnected in any way or some areas of the Autonomous System become unreachable. This is because all inter-area traffic must go through the backbone. In fact, the backbone is responsible for all inter-area routing information distribution.

It is possible that an area cannot be connected directly to the backbone; in this case a virtual link is used (see Figure 3.53). To establish or maintain the connectivity of the backbone, virtual links can be configured through non-

Web Server Interface 3-59

backbone areas. Basically, virtual links are used to connect components that are otherwise not connected to the backbone.

A virtual link is treated by OSPF as a point-to-point unnumbered network joining two area border routers. The virtual link must be configured in both of the area border rout ers.

A virtual link is defined by the following two parameters:

• The Router ID of the virtual link’s other endpoint

• The non-backbon e area across which the virtual link goes through.

Access this screen by selecting the Virtual Link Table from the OSPF Parameters table on the IP Gateway screen.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT is a method of connecting multiple computers to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one IP Address. This lets users cost-effectively and efficiently connect their networks to the Internet.

Whether on a global or local port, NAT provides translation only upon receipt of a packet, which NAT will translate, not translate, or filter, depending on the user-specified parameters (further described below). If the decision is made to “translate,” the packet will be modified internally, and eventually sent on to the IP Gateway to be processed. If the decision is made not to “translate,” the packet will not be modified in any way. If the decision is made to “filter,” the packet will be discarded without any further action required.

hosts on the Local (private) side as a single internet host (one IP Address). In Basic NAT mode, the Global IP Address is assigned as a Class C host address (Mask of 255.255.255.0). Each private IP Address on the Local side is mapped to a Class C public address on the Global side. In other words, if there are 30 hosts on the private (Local) side, 30 public (Global) addresses are required. T he defau lt is NA PT.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP provides a mechanism through which computers using TCP/IP can obtain protocol configuration parameters automatically through the network.

The most important configuration parameter associated with DHCP is the IP Address. A computer must initially be assigned a specific IP Address that is appropriate to the network to which the computer is attached, and that is not assigned to any other computer on that network. If a computer moves to a new network, it must be assigned a new IP Address for that new network. DHCP can be used to manage these assignments automatically.

DHCP has other important configuration parameters also, such as the subnet mask, default router, and Domain Name System (DNS) server. Using DHCP, a network administrator can avoid “hands-on” configuration of individual computers through complex and confusing setup applications. Instead, those computers can obtain all required configuration parameters automatically, without manual intervention, from a centrally managed DHCP server. DHCP is available on the 10/100 Ethernet port only.
