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

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.

For example: PORT1

Displays the name of the port.

Aging Status

Static

Displays the aging status of unicast items, including static and dynamic.

VB

VB ID-VB Name

VB is automatically displayed by the Web LCT.

Disable MAC Address

VLAN ID

1 to 4095

Inhibits a MAC address in the VLAN of a certain VB.

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.
