To configure the MAC addresses, IP addresses, VLAN tags, MPLS tags, and test pattern, tap on the frame image displayed on
the screen. This brings you to the configuration screens for all the header fields. Alternately, tap on the magnifying glass at the
bottom right corner to access the configuration screens.
MAC Header Tab:
MAC Source:
Use the default source address of the test set or configure a new or different address.
MAC Destination:
Configure the destination MAC address of the far-end partner test set.
Ethernet Type:
For Layer 3 testing, the user can also configure the Ethernet type;
0800-IP (Internet Protocol Version 4, IPv4)
0600-Xerox
0801-X.75 (X.75 Internet)
0805-X.25 (X.25 Level 3)
0806-ARP (Address Resolution Protocol (ARP))
8035-RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP))
8137-IPX (Novell IPX)
814C-SNMP
8847-MPLS unicast

VLAN Tab:
In the VLAN tab the following parameters are configured;
VLAN ID:
Can be configured in the range 1 to 4094
VLAN ID is the identification of the VLAN, which is basically used by the standard 802.1Q.
It has 12 bits which allows the identification of 4096 (2^12) VLANs.
Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames and value 4095 (FFF) is reserved
Maximum possible VLAN configurations are therefore set to 4094
VLAN Priority:
Can be configured in the range 0 to 7
Set by the Priority Code Point (PCP), a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority.
It indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest), which can be used to prioritize different
classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc)
Type:
The following selections are possible;
8100 (IEEE 802.1Q tagged frame)
88a8 (IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridging)
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tag in an Ethernet Frame
