connection) bridged to P1 for a DPP cable connection to a RAC 60 or RAC 6X.
(Only RAC 60/6X support DPP connections).
z Only enabled ports/channels are shown connected.
z Transparent mode is the default bridging mode. Other modes for port-
channel association are available using the VLAN screen.
4 Configuration panel for ports P1 to P5, and channels C1 to C6.
z P1,P2, P3 are electrical 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
z P4, P5, are SFP ports. SFP transceivers are available for optical LC
1300nm single mode, 1000Base-LX, or electrical RJ-45 1000Base-T.
z For protected DAC GE3 operation, a protection cable is installed
between ports P5.
z C1 to C6 are transport channel (TC) ports for backplane connection to
RACs and/or DACs.
z Ports and channels can be re-named.
5 Within the 'All' row a tool is provided under Usage, Speed-Duplex, and Chan-
nel Mode to make all ports and channels the same (where relevant) using
one of the options provided in the drop-down menu.
6 Usage. Example shows P1 selected as DPP, and P2 as Normal. Setting port
usage enables the ports, and results in the P1 to P2 connection shown in the
port/channel inter-connection graphic (item 3).
z When DPP is selected a Group Id tab is prompted. The number set
must be the same as the Group Id number in the companion RAC
60/6X.
z If ports are enabled but not carrying valid traffic an Ethernet down
warning alarm will be raised. See Item 10.

8 Speed-Duplex. Select auto-detect or a specific connection type from the
drop-down menu.
Applies only to the electrical ports 1 to 3; SFP ports 4 and 5 are fixed for
1000 Mb full duplex.
For ports 1 to 3 the normal setting is Auto, where the auto negotiation
feature senses and sets the speed (10, 100 or 1000Base-T) and connection
for half or full duplex operation.
The fixed options are used where auto negotiation fails to provide the
expected result or where a fixed setting is preferred:
z Auto negotiation is not 100% reliable, particularly so where the
connected equipment is using an older auto-sensing mechanism.
z Links with a duplex mismatch will operate, but will generate a large
number of errors and will slow throughput.
z Generally, for auto negotiation, both interfaces should be set to auto
for speed and duplex.
z Full-duplex can only be achieved if both interfaces are either set for
auto-negotiation or are manually configured to use full duplex.
z Full duplex will not operate via a hub/repeater. These are half duplex
devices.
z If auto-negotiation is enabled on only one side of the link, it will
default to half-duplex, regardless of what the other side of the link is
forced to.
z If one side of a link is forced to full duplex and the other is set to auto-
negotiation, a duplex mismatch can occur.
z You can force a new auto-negotiation by simply unplugging a host
cable for 10 seconds.

9 Channel Mode. Provides selection of a fast-link-failure detection
mechanism. Operation is through keep-alive messaging provided on each 2
Mbps or 1.5 Mbps container that makes up the Ethernet transport channel
capacity.
It is currently used with Link Status Propagation and adaptive modulation to
support fast-switched failure detection and recovery. Note that operation is
end-to-end over a DAC GE3 link, regardless of the number of radio links
traversed.
Channel Mode selection only applies where a transport channel (backplane
connection) is used to connect to a RAC. The options are:
z No Failure Detection (ES Compatibility). For use where DAC GE3
is linked to a DAC ES or IDU ES.
z Rapid Failure Detection. Signals a failure condition on the channel if
just one errored 2/1.5 Mbps container is detected. Use this mode for
Link Status Propagation.
z Rapid Failure Detection and Protection. Supports continuation of
service in the presence of one or more errored containers. Use this
mode for L1LA when operated using one transport channel to two
physical links. See "L1 Link Aggregation on One INU" under Ink
AggreguLIon on uge 8;.
z Adaptive Modulation. Similar in operation to Rapid failure Detection
and Protection, but with the inclusion of pre-notification to signal onset
of a modulation change event. Use on transport channel adaptive
modulation links.
10 Port Up. A tick indicates detection of a valid Ethernet connection. An invalid
connection on an enabled port will result in a port-down warning alarm.
Resolved. Tick indicates that a port has been auto-resolved for
speed/duplex. The resolved tickbox is only applicable to Auto (all speeds) and
to the fixed 1000 Mbps Speed-Duplex selections. Similarly, the green
connection LEDon the RJ-45 port will only activate for a valid 1000 Mbps
(1000Base-T) connection.
NOTE: some optical SFPs do not support a resolved indication (is not ticked)
even though the port is up and is traffic-carrying.

7 Master/Slave. Select from Auto, Master, Slave, Local. Default is Auto.
Master/Slave options are used in conjunction with Synchronous Ethernet to
specify a port's Ethernet PHY link clock mode.
z Auto: The port auto-negotiates with its peer to either master or slave
mode.
z Master: The port is providing the network synchronization clock to its
peer. In this mode the recovered clock (from a Slave port or TDMclock
source) or the Stratum 3 clock is used.
z Slave: The port uses the incoming network clock from its peer.
z Local: The port is set to auto mode and the clock is generated by the
local oscillator on DAC GE3.
Use Auto for a normal port (SyncE disabled).
When a port is selected as the SyncE clock source port, this port is forced to
Slave mode, even if it is not selected as Slave.
The SyncE clock-out port must be set to Master.
NOTE: The clock source ports are selected in the Synchronous Ethernet
screen. See DAC GE SynchronIzuLIon Screen on uge qz1.
8 MAC Address Learning. Address Learning is default enabled to support
efficient management of Ethernet traffic in multi-host situations. The option
to disable Address Learning is for use in a ring/mesh network where
protection is provided by an external RSTP switch. This is to avoid conflict
between the self-learning function within DAC GE3 and the external RSTP
switch during reconvergence.

Advanced table reflects the settings used to establish this mode.
Note that this table reflects the settings for all modes. Conversely, this table
can be used establish new modes, or modify modes - and a mode set in this
table is reflected in the cross-connect graphic.
2 Nested. Tickbox enables Qand Q-in-Qtagging.
z When ticked, all ingressing traffic is assigned the VIDof Default IDby the
internal Tag0 mechanism. Any VLAN information on ingressing frames is
ignored by the switch.
z When not ticked (not nested):
z If the switch does not detect a VLAN on the incoming frame (based
on Tag0 Ing TPID), Tag0 is assigned the VIDof Default VID.
z If a VLAN is detected (based on Tag0 Ing TPID), Tag0 is assigned the
VLAN of the incoming frame, unless forced with a Default VID- see
Item 5 below.
3 Accepted Type. Determines whether the Port will accept any frames (ALL) or
frames that are only VLAN untagged or only tagged. What is considered
tagged or untagged is determined by the setting in Tag0 Ing TPIDs.
z When Nested is selected, Accepted Type is fixed to All.
z For DPP ports, the options are Only Untagged, or All.
4 Tag0 Ing TPIDs. Specifies the TPIDthat the switch will recognize as an
Accepted Type for a VLAN tagged frame.
The switch scans the incoming frame for a TPID. With 8100 selected only
frames with a VLAN TPIDof 0x8100 will be recognized. With 88a8 selected,
only frames with a VLAN TPIDof 0x88a8 will be recognized.
With None selected, there is no recognition of tagged frames, even if they
have a TPIDof 0x8100 or 0x88a8.
5 Apply Default VID. Allows an override of the incoming VLAN VID.
With All selected it will force Tag0 to be set with the Default IDof the port
(Port VID), overwriting any customer VLAN tag detected based on Tag0 Ing
TPID.
Only Untagged will force Tag0 to be set with the Default IDof the port (Port
VID) for untagged frames only.
6 Port VID. The selected VIDis assigned to Tag0 depending on the settings
above. Setable range is 0 to 4095.
7 Membership. In association with the VIDit provides a filtering function. It is
used to specify the VLAN IDof Tag0 that will be accepted on ingress or allowed
to egress the port/channel. The membership is based on the value of Tag0 as
set above. Single or multiple VIDranges can be set, such as 2-4, plus 1001-
1050.
The Port VIDand Membership establishes the cross-connect (the switch
fabric). It is this that is displayed in the cross-connect graphic.

8 Egress Tag. This determines what happens to the internally applied Tag0 at
switch egress. Note that all ingressing frames are cross-connected internally
under Tag0 control. A frame will, for example, ingress a port and egress a
channel, or ingress a channel and egress a port or ports.
z If Nested is enabled on ports designated for VLAN transport, as in the
example Advanced Mode figure above, the valid selection for C2 egress is
Push Tag0, which means frames will be transmitted with the Tag0 VLAN
setting (as the outer-most tag).
z If Nested is disabled, the Apply Default VIDis set for Only Untagged, and
a customer VLAN tag is accepted at ingress and assigned as Tag0 (Tag0
assumes the customer VLAN properties):
z Setting Untagged on egress will mean the frame will be transmitted
without the customer VLAN tag on egress (stripped).
z Setting Tag0 will mean the frame will be transmitted with the
customer VLAN tag on egress (transparent).
z Setting Push Tag0 will push the Default VIDon top of the existing
customer VLAN tag (Q-in-Q).
z Setting Pop Outer Tag will pop the outer most VLAN tag, in this case
the customer VLAN.
9 This sets the Tag0 frame TPIDon egress, 0x8100 or 0x88a8. Note that for
compatibility with DAC GE, 0x8100 must be used.
The VLAN Advanced screen supports ful l y fl exi bl e port and

6 Port Default. Port Default allows traffic on one port or channel to be
prioritized over that on other ports or channels . This prioritization has
relevance where two or more ports (or channels) share a common channel
(or port). For operation in the presence of tagged frames, refer to the
following QoS Truth Table.
7 Scheduler. When a port has multiple traffic classes enqueued for
transmission, the scheduler is responsible for selecting the queues for
dequeueing (forwarding).
Each port/channel has standard queue scheduling options of Strict Priority
(SP), Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR), and a combination of SP with
DWRR (Hybrid).
z With Strict priority the scheduler serves a lower priority queue only if
all higher priority queues are empty.
z With DWRR the scheduler operates as weighted round-robin (WRR)
with a deficit counter. A maximum packet size number is subtracted
from the packet length, and packets that exceed that number are held
back until the next visit of the scheduler.
z Hybrid enables a combination of strict with DWRR. A typical
implementation would have Strict for Q7 and Q6, and DWRR for the
remaining queues.
8 Click to view/change scheduler operation. Icons are used to indicate the
scheduler type and queue priority:
z Strict is shown with a solid circle, and colored from purple for Q7 to
gray for Q0.
z DWRR is shown with a segmented circle, with segment size and color
proportional to the weighting.
z Hybrid shows the mix of strict with DWRR.
Options are provided to:
z Change default queue operation between Strict and DWRR. Note that
selections must be contiguous - incorrect settings will be shown in red.
z Change the weighting for DWRR.
A naming box is provided at the top of the table to name and save a custom
setting.
z To save a custom setting, see Item 3 above.

Item Description
DAC GE3 LSP Screen
1 Interconnect graphic shows a 1 to 1 connection for P1 and C1, and a DPP
connection from P2, with P3 as its user port.
2 Local Peer and Remote Peer setting. User ports on the DAC GE3 switch
must be associated with their local and remote link ports/channels.
In this example:
z User port P1 has C1 as its local peer, and P1 is to be configured as the
user port on the far-end (remote) DAC GE3.
z User port P3 has P2 as its local peer, and P3 is to be configured as the
user port on the far-end DAC GE3.
See the following figure for example LSP peer settings.
3 Mode. The options provided are Normal and Degraded.
z With Normal selected, a degradation in path capacity, such as can
occur under adaptive modulation or link aggregation will not force a
port shutdown. A link has to be completely down to force a port
shutdown.
z With Degraded selected , any reduction in link capacity will force a
link/port shutdown. Link is degraded when current Tx capacity is less
than maximum capacity. This mode is useful where there is preference
on a customer network to switch to an alternate path when the Eclipse
link is degraded (has reduced capacity), instead of being completely
down.
z Mode selection applies to both DPP and backplane links.
4 Timers are applicable to LSP operation to avoid frequent switching due to the
radio link working at or close to threshold.
Link Restore Timer. The link will be restored to service (port shutdown
removed) after the selected timer delay - 1 second increments up to 60
minutes.
Link Hold Timer. The link (ports) will not be shut down until expiry of the
hold time - 1 second increments up to 1 minute.
