Carrier Ethernet Protocol and features
IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet
OAM
Link Fault Management (LFM) for Ethernet links as defined in IEEE 802.3ah
IEEE 802.1ag Ethernet
CFM
IEEE 802.1ag Ethernet CFM function that provides connectivity fault management
ITU-T Y.1731
ITU-T service OAM standard Y.1731 divides a network into maintenance domains in the
form of hierarchy levels
ITU-T G.
8031 and
G.8032v2
Provides the standards-based method of delivering high-performance Carrier Ethernet
services over a multi-node ring protection switching to serve large MDUs or MTUs
Management
Web GUI Interface
Built-in configuration utility for browser-based device configuration (HTTP/ HTTPs).
Supports configuration, system dashboard, maintenance, and monitoring
Firmware Upgrade
Web browser upgrade (HTTP/ HTTPs) and FTP
Secure upgrade through console port
Dual Firmware Image
Dual image and firmware partition provide independent primary and secondary OS files
for backup while upgrading. Each firmware image has its corresponding firmware
partition
SNMP
SNMP version1, 2c and 3 with support for traps and SNMP version 3 user-based security
model (USM)
Remote Monitoring
(RMON)
Embedded RMON software agent supports RMON groups 1,2,3,9 (history, statistics,
alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring and analysis
IPv4 and IPv6 Dual
Stack
Coexistence of both protocol stacks to support a seamless migration
Port Mirroring
Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for Legal Interception (CALEA) or
analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to N-
1 (N is Switch’s Ports) ports
can be mirrored to single destination port. A single session is supported
Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol (NTP) for clock synchronization over packet switched networks
Other Management
HTTP / HTTPs; SSH; RADIUS; DHCP Client / DHCPv6 Client; SNTP; cable diagnostics;
ping; syslog; Telnet client (SSH secure support), IPv6 Management
Discovery
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) (IEEE 802.1ab) with LLDP-MED extensions
