Exercise #1: VID Queuing
1. We apply QoS to left IDU to optimize the radio link (transport high priority services and
discard lower priority frames).
2. The radio script allows max. 42Mbps (L1) or 32 Mbps (L2, data rate). For detailed
explanation please review “PM presentation”.
3. In this exercise we prioritize the ingress services (port 3 left IDU) by VLAN ID.4. Since both streams are forwarded to port 8, we apply the Egress Scheduling to port 8.
5. There is no need to apply QoS on right IDU since the radio link is already optimized.

Exercise #7: Applying an Egress Shaper
1. In this exercise we examine the functionality of the Egress Shaper
2. We maintain the same configuration for the left IDU
3. We apply a shaper to the egress port of right IDU (port 3)
4. If you followed the previous exercises according to the specified steps, Left IDU Queuing
policy would be “VLAN P-Bits over ToS” which means :
Stream S1 is partially received (~17 Mbps)
Stream S2 is fully received (~22 Mbps)
5. When we apply the shaper on port 3, the scheduler will empty the streams according to
their ingress queuing rules (port 8).
6. The default queuing classification for port 8 (right IDU) is VLAN P-Bits, same as the
ingress queuing classification on port 3 (left IDU).
7. This ingress queuing is only effective when BW of port 3 (Egress) is not sufficient
(Shaper is on).

Exercise #8: Applying an Egress Shaper wi th HRR
1. In this exercise we apply HRR scheduling to the Egress port (port 3, right IDU)
2. As a result, egress traffic should be balanced according to your HRR settings (Queue
Weight Table).
3. It is therefore recommended to configure first the Queue Weight Table.

Exercise #9: Apply ing a Policer
1. In this exercise we apply a Rate Limiter on port 3 (left IDU).
2. Before we apply the Policer, we set off the Shaper to recover original settings
3. Policers can be configured to limit traffic according to their Ether-type: MC, unicast, etc.
4. We shall apply a generic condition as shown below.

CIR = 25,000 Kbps
CBS = 0 Kbps
Right IDU, Port 3 Egress Shaper is OFF
Expected Results
Due to the Leaky Bucket characteristics of the Policer mechanism, the actual egress rate
(CIR) is reduced to a lower figure than configured CIR (users are advised to increase the
CBS to improve the CIR).

Exercise #10: Queuing MACs
1. In this exercise we queue the ingress frames according to their MAC DA
2. We configure the MAC table to assign P-Bit 7 to all ingress frames with DA =
00:00:00:00:00:02
3. The N2X generates S1 with the required MAC DA and P-bit 1
4. The switch will overwrite the P-Bit and assign the frame to the queue we set in the Static

Exercise #1: QoS Demo using VLC
Brief :
The plan is to stream a video through the radio link to the remote IDU
Client users connect their laptop to the remote IDU and observe live streaming
The traffic generator will consume gradually the available BW of the radio
As a result of specific QoS settings, the video will freeze / pixelize according to the ETHtraffic transmission rate
Using the variable attenuator, we can also simulate link losses. With ACM enabled, thevideo stream with lower priority will suffer first.
Establish the setup as depicted in the diagram:

Introduction and Guidelines
The objectives of this chapter are to explain, practice and visualize the following concept:
When a certain Ring-Segment shrinks, the systems are required to execute QoS accordingly andthus, maintain SLA commitments.
We shall examine 2 cases:
1. User data < Ring capacity
2. User data > Ring capacity(Oversubscription)
In these exercises, your goals are to design & configure QoS (TE) at the closest point before
entering the backbone:• To improve resource (BW) utilization• Avoid service starvation due to streaming of low priority services
In a RING, you will need to implement QoS at Ingress points (dots in diagram). Such roles (ingress& egress) may reverse according to the direction of traffic flows.

Setup Diagram – Ingress VS. Egress
We shall stream 3 services plus in-band packets via Site A (Ring Entry Point). Port 2 of Site A would serve as the Ingress Port for all services.
The main IDU (slot 1) will forward the streams to the radio port (8) and/or port #1 withrespect to the ring actual topology.
When one of these Egress ports will suffer capacity drops, QoS will be notices as lowservices will drop while high services will remain.

Setup Preparations
1. Enable Demo license on all IDUs or alternatively – install licenses on IDUs
2. Examine the setup diagram carefully and set the “Switch Mode” of IDUs accordingly3. Set “Management Mode” to In-Band with “In-Band VID” = 1000 (Slots #1)4. Create VID 10,20,30 in the Switch DB (only relevant for Managed Switch IDUs)5. Create VID 1000 in Site C slot #2 (extension IDU in Managed Mode)6. Enable RSTP on all IDUs (Managed Mode IDUs)7. Set ports that do not participate in the ring as Edge Ports:
Site A Slot 1 Port 2 = Edge Port
Site C Slot 1 Port 3 = Edge Port
Site C Slot 1 Port 4 = Edge Port
Site C Slot 1 Port 5 = Edge Port
It is strongly recommended to configure disabled ports to Edge Ports as well toavoid problems when enabling those ports in the future
8. Identify the Alternate port in the setup (using the Ring RSTP page in EMS)9. Identify the Root Bridge in your ring topology10. Establish Radio links between all sites with MSE ~ (-35dB) or lower11. Assign identical MRMC scripts to all links: 200Mbps+ACM enabled (MRMC profile 17)12. Configure / Verify the following:

Setup Diagram & Introduction
In this exercise we demo the functionality of CFM in a RING RSTP environment
We create a domain between Site A slot 1 port 6 and Site C slot 1 port 6
The GbE port and Radio port of these IDUs will serve as MIPs to give us better resolutionfor troubleshooting and maintenance
We assume that other IDUs are non-CFM bridges, meaning – they do not support CFM.By definition, they are expected to pass through transparently the CFM frames.
To transport the CFM frames along the ring, we shall need to create the CFM serviceVLAN in all switches and ports that participate in the RING RSTP topology.

Exercise 1: Setting Up XPIC
1. Make sure all IDUs are installed with the same SW version2. Make sure all IDUs are installed with the same HW version (supporting XPIC)3. Make sure all ODUs are installed with the same SW and Firmware versions4. Install a license per IDU or alternatively enable the Demo license5. Establish the physical setup as illustrated in the diagram6. Set the MAIN IDUs to Managed Mode (slots number 1)7. Set the Extension IDUs to Pipe (slots number 2)8. Set Management mode to In-Band (VID 1000)9. Create VID 100 and VID 200 in Switch DB of MAIN IDUs10. Configure Port 1 of MAIN IDUs as SFP, Trunk, member of VID 10011. Configure Port 8 of MAIN IDUs as Trunk, member of VID 200, VID 100012. Configure Port 2 of MAIN IDUs as SFP, Trunk, member of VID 100, VID 20013. Connect FO between slot 1 port 1 and slot 2 port 1 (of both sites)
14. Assign XPIC Script to all radios (MRMC profile # 12)15. When IDUs complete the reset (due to MRMC change), configure Radio Parameters to
all radios:
TSL
Frequencies
Link ID
MAC Header Compression
16. Verify that no alarms exist in the system.17. Clear the defected blocks counter and verify that there are no errors in the system.18. Read the MSE and XPI of all 4 Radios and verify that they fit the link design (verify that
they are below -35dB and above 25dB, respectively).
19. Change the attenuators on the XPI box to generate inferences and write down the XPIvalues as they change in the following table:
IDU XPI before [dB] XPI after [dB]
Site A slot 1
Site B slot 1
Site A slot 2
Site B slot 2
20. Examine the XPI PM (PM & Counters / Radio / XPI)21. Examine the Event Log of all IDUs, look for XPIC messages as XPI increase/decrease

Setup Diagram
Slots# 2 (upper IDUs) are configured as Single Pipe with Port 1 set to RJ45 with AutoNeg. disabled, speed fixed to 1000Mbps
Port 2 of lower IDUs is set as RJ45, Auto Neg. disabled, speed fixed to 1000Mbps
Lower IDUs and upper IDUs are connected together with ETH straight cable (CAT5)
Slots #1 (lower IDUs, Main) are configured as Managed Switch to support LAG
Port 2 and port 8 (Radio) of lower IDUs are grouped together in LAG (in both sites)
Traffic is injected via GbE port #1 and is distributed between Port #2 & Port #8
Traffic distribution is according to the configured MAC addresses of the streams (N2X)
Automatic State Propagation (ASP) is enabled on all IDUs to allow a faster switchover(failed port to active port)
We shall also demonstrate how ASP can improve system resiliency when ACM degradesbelow a certain Threshold Profile
Important note –
When you use the PM data, please bear in mind that the RMON registers displayaccumulative information. The numbers do not represent instantaneous values.
When you use the Throughput parameter (Radio ETH PM) – please bear in mind to waitat least 5 minutes before coming to a conclusion. By default, Throughput is most efficientwhen counters complete a 15 min interval.

Setup Description:
Following the previous exercise, in this setup we demonstrate the same trails and features with
one exception – we shall do so through protected paths.
The first step would be enabling Protection on both slots (1&2) in Site #1 and Site #3.
Configuration:
1. Enable Protection on slots dedicated to be used as STBY (Mates).
This action will trigger a reset process…
2. Enable Protection on slots dedicated to be used as Active.
3. Connect the EMS to port #7 of Site #1 slot #1 and Site #1 slot #2 using ETH Y-Cable.
4. Connect por ts #3 of Site #1 slot #1 and Site #1 slot #2 to slot #3 port #3 using ETH Y-
Cable and a cross-cable.
5. Connect por ts #4 of Site #1 slot #1 and Site #1 slot #2 to slot #4 port #3 using ETH Y-
Cable and a cross-cable.
6. Make sure that ports #3 & #4 of Site #1 slot #1 are members of VID #200.
7. Make sure that all physical connections are properly established (radios, splitters etc.)
8. Copy to Mate (on both Active units). This will trigger a reset process on mate units.
9. PING EMS to all Sites
10. Configure the following trails (next page)
11. You may use line-loopbacks on the other side of each TDM trail or alternatively, you may
connect physical loopbacks on each TDM port
12. Make sure you assign trails to unique radio VCs (you will need to configure the STM-1
traffic generator accordingly)
13. Using TDM / SDH tester, verify that all trails are valid.14. Swap between Active and STBY a few times and verify PING and trails are still functional.

Setup Description:
In this setup we demonstrate the TDM prioritization by narrowing down the link BW using ACM
script and variable RF attenuator.
Please note:
When you configure Trails on a protected site, it is recommended to assign trails to Active units.
Setup Configuration:
1. Assign Adaptive script to radios between Site #1 slot #4 and Site #4. The script should limit
the BW to 7 to 8 E1s (15 Mbps).
2. Once the radio link is up with the new ACM script, make sure the MSE is optimal (Attenuator
is set to minimum attenuation).
3. Enable Protection on slots dedicated to be used as STBY (Mates). This action will trigger areset process…
4. Configure the following trails (next page). Please note the different priorities per trail.
5. You may use line-loopbacks on the other side of each TDM trail or alternatively, you may
connect physical loopbacks on each TDM port
6. Make sure you assign trails to unique radio VCs (you will need to configure the STM-1 traffic
generator accordingly)
7. With the help of the TDM / SDH tester, verify that all trails are configured OK end-to-end.
8. Increase the link loss by changing the position of the RF attenuator to the point where LOW
TDM ports are not valid.
9. Recover optimal link conditions (minimum attenuation) and verify that all TDM trails are valid
again.

Setup Description:
This exercise shows an RSTP ring topology with edge and non-edge nodes. The ring provides
protection in terms of MNG traffic and XC trails.
In this exercise we start from scratch – we shall construct the setup and then configure the RSTP
switches. Once the setup supports RSTP, we shall continue to configure the XC trails (following
exercises)
Setup Configuration:
1. Establish the physical connections according to the setup scheme. Leave one link
disconnected to avoid loops (for example: site #3 to site #2)
2. (It is assumed that all IDUs are set to OOB MNG)
3. Configure In-Band MNG using VLAN #200 on all main IDUs
4. Connect extension IDUs (port #3) to Main I
