Ethernet LAN Service

Based on the Ethernet data Layer 2 switch function, EPLAN services allow the accessed data to be transported to its destination media access control (MAC) address. In this user interface, you can create and query Ethernet LAN services, and configure the forwarding filter table.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Service > Ethernet LAN Service from the Function Tree.

Note

Ensure that the same port is bound to paths at the same level.
The difference between EPLAN and EVPLAN lies in that EVPLAN services share the same port by using the MPLS tag to identify the services, but EPLAN services do not use the MPLS tag.
For ports of the boards that support the QinQ feature, the ports can be of the UNI, C-Aware or S-Aware type.
Make sure that you set Bridge Switch Mode to IVL/Ingress Filter Enable. Only in this way, you can create VLANs.

Guideline

One VB can be created in each Ethernet board in the system. Inside VBs, the MAC address learning function is used to complete the forwarding of Ethernet data. The MAC address table is updated periodically based on the address learning result.

Parameters

Field		Value	Description
Board		Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: NE name-shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: NE name-slot number-board name	Displays the name of the board.
VB ID		For example: 1	Allocated automatically when an Ethernet LAN service is created.
VB Name		A maximum of 16 English letters or numerals	Specifies a VB name.
Bridge Type		For example: 802.1q	Sets the type of a VB.
Bridge Switch Mode		IVL/Ingress Filter Enable, SVL/Ingress Filter Disable	Selects the bridge switch mode.
Bridge Learning Mode		IVL, SVL	Displays the bridge learning mode. IVL (independent VLAN learning): Isolates MAC address during forwarding on the basis of the VLAN tag. SVL (shared VLAN learning): destination MAC address based forwarding and learning.
Ingress Filter		Enabled, Disabled	Displays the status of an ingress filter. Enabled: Checks the validity of a VLAN ID on the basis of bridge. If the ingress receives a packet that does not belong to the VLAN associated to the port on the bridge, the ingress discards the packet. Disabled: Does not check the validity of a VLAN ID. All packets that want to enter the bridge are valid.
MAC Address Self-Learning		Enabled, Disabled Default: Enabled	Enables or disables MAC address learning. Enabled: MAC addresses are learned. Disabled: MAC addresses are statically configured.
Service Mount	VB Port	For example: 1	Allocated automatically when the VB mount port is configured.
	Operation Type	Add S-VLAN base for Port, Add S-VLAN base for Port and C-VLAN, Mount Port, Mount Port and base for Port and S-VLAN	You can perform operations as follows: Mounting that is based on port and for which the S-VLAN tag is added Mounting that is based on port and C-VLAN and for which the S-VLAN tag is added Mounting that is based on port Mounting that is based on port and S-VLAN
	Mount Port	For example: PORT3	The mount port may be the PORT port or VC trunk port.
	Port Type	UNI, C-Aware (for boards that support QinQ) Default: UNI	Sets the network attributes for a port. If the port is of the UNI type, the port processes the TAG attributes in 802.1Q and the port has the Tag Aware, Access and Hybrid attributes. If the port is of the C-Aware type, the port does not process the tag attributes in 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries no S-VLAN tag and processes only the data packet that has the C-VLAN tag.
	Service Direction	For example: Bidirectional	Displays the direction of an Ethernet service.
	Port Enabled	Enabled, Disabled	Enables or disables a port. Enabled: This port can access services. Disabled: This port cannot access services.
	Hub/Spoke	Hub, Spoke	Sets the Hub/Spoke attribute of the port. Services are interoperable between a Hub port and a Spoke, or between two Hub ports, but not between two Spoke ports.
	Default VLAN ID	1 to 4095	Sets the VLAN ID. To set the VLAN ID, right-click a port, and choose VLAN Allocation from the shortcut menu. Then, in the dialog box displayed, set the VLAN ID of the VB link that the port belongs to. You can also set the VLAN ID in the VLAN Filtering tab.
	TAG	Access, Tag Aware, Hybrid	The tag is used for setting which type of data packets can be processed. Set this parameter to Tag Aware to enable the port to transparently transmit packets that have the VLAN ID (tag). If packets do not have the VLAN ID (untag), the packets are discarded. Default VLAN ID cannot be edited. Set this parameter to Access to enable the port to add the default VLAN ID to packets that do not have the VLAN ID (untag). If the packets have the VLAN ID (tag), the packets are discarded. Set this parameter to Hybrid to enable the port to add the default VLAN ID to the packets that do not have the VLAN ID (untag). If the packets have the VLAN ID (tag), the packets are transparently transmitted. The tag attribute is effective only when the network attribute of the port is PE or UNI.
	Working Mode	For example: 10M Half-Duplex	Displays the working modes of the Ethernet port. Auto-Negotiation can automatically determine the optimized working modes of the connected ports. This mode is easy to maintain and is recommended. During configuration, make sure that working modes of the connected ports are consistent. If the working modes are different, the services are down.
	C-VLAN	0 to 4095	Sets the C-VLAN value.
	S-VLAN	0 to 4095	Sets the S-VLAN value.
	C-VLAN Priority	AUTO, Priority0, Priority1, Priority2, Priority3, Priority4, Priority5, Priority6, Priority7	Sets the priority of C-VLAN.
	S-VLAN Priority	AUTO, Priority0, Priority1, Priority2, Priority3, Priority4, Priority5, Priority6, Priority7	Sets the priority of S-VLAN.
VLAN Filtering	VLAN ID	1 to 4095	Specifies the VLAN ID and configures the forwarding filter table.
	VB Port	For example: (1-2)	Allocated automatically when the VB mount port is configured.
	Forwarding Physical Port	For example: PORT(4),VCTRUNK(1-2)	Displays the physical port that is actually attached to the VB link.
	Available Forwarding Ports	For example: PORT4	Displays the queried physical ports that can be used for forwarding.
	Selected Forwarding Ports	For example: PORT4	Displays the selected ports that can be used for forwarding.
VLAN Unicast	VLAN ID	1 to 4095	Only the VLAN ID specified in the forwarding filter table can be selected. VLAN unicast is different from common unicast. A VLAN unicast uses VB, VLAN ID, port, and MAC address as its unique identifier.
	MAC Address	00-00-00-00-00-01 to FE-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF The first digit is an even number.	Displays the MAC address of VLAN unicast.
	VB Port	For example: 1	Allocated automatically when the VB mount port is configured.
	Physical Port	For example: PORT1	Displays the name of the port.
	Aging Status	Static	Displays the aging status of unicast items, including static and dynamic.
	MAC Address	00-00-00-00-00-01 to FE-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF The first digit is an even number.	Enters a MAC address that is to be inhibited. Hence, enters a MAC address that is not associated to the VLAN unicast of this VLAN.
Bound Path	VCTRUNK Port	For example: VCTRUNK1	Displays the name of the configured VC trunk port.
	Level	For example: GE	Displays the level of a VC trunk-bound path.
	Service Direction	Bidirectional, Uplink, Downlink	Displays the direction of an Ethernet service.
	Bound Path	For example: GE-16	Specifies the number of the path that you want to bind.
	Number of Bound Paths	For example: 1	Displays the number of the bound paths.
Self-learning MAC address	MAC Address	00-00-00-00-00-01 to FE-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF The first digit is an even number.	Enters a MAC address that is to be inhibited. Hence, enter a MAC address that is not associated to the VLAN unicast of this VLAN.
	VB Port	For example: 1	Allocated automatically when the VB mount port is configured.
	VLAN ID	1 to 4095	Displays the VLAN ID.
VLAN MAC Address Table Capacity	Specified MAC Address Table Capacity	0-32768	Specified MAC Address Table Capacity indicates the maximum number of MAC addresses that are dynamically learned from the VB logical port or the VLAN filter. In excess of the maximum number, the source MAC address of the packet that enters the logical port is not learned and the packet is discarded.
VLAN MAC Address Table Capacity	Actual MAC Address Table Capacity	For example: 5	If the port dynamically learns five MAC addresses, the actual capacity of the MAC address is five.
VB Port MAC Address Table Capacity	Specified MAC Address Table Capacity	0-32768	Specified MAC Address Table Capacity indicates the maximum number of MAC addresses that are dynamically learned from the VB logical port or the VLAN filter. In excess of the maximum number, the source MAC address of the packet that enters the logical port is not learned and the packet is discarded
VB Port MAC Address Table Capacity	Actual MAC Address Table Capacity	For example: 5	If the port dynamically learns five MAC addresses, the actual capacity of the MAC address is five.
