Y.1564 Setup

This article explains how a user can configure a Y.1564 service activation test.

To login into Skylight Flex, enter your username (default is root) and password (default is admin123).

Without VLAN configurations, ESAT frames are not reflected if reflector Skylight Flex 100 is configured in Provider Edge Bridge mode, (which is the default and recommended mode for Flex units). When in Provider Edge Bridge mode, VLAN must be configured in order to reflect.

When the Skylight Flex unit is configured in Customer Bridge Mode, no VLAN configuration is required on the reflector Flex unit.

Y.1564 SAT Configuration Guidelines

1. In the Traffic Profile configuration for SAT Test, the Source MAC address value to be used in the SAT traffic generation will be configured identically as that of the destination port’s MAC address mentioned in the traffic profile.
   

   ---

   Note: The MAC address of the interfaces can be retrieved using the “show interfaces” CLI command. Likewise, the MAC address of the remote switch port can be retrieved by using the “show interfaces” command in the remote switch.

   ---

2. In the Traffic Profile configuration for SAT Test, the Destination MAC value to be used in the SAT traffic generation will be configured in accordance with the MAC address of the remote switch port on which traffic loopback is expected.
   

   ---

   Note: The MAC address of the remote switch can be retrieved using the "show interfaces" CLI command in the remote switch, which acts as a reflector with facility loopback.

   ---

3. In the Traffic Profile configuration for SAT Test, the Ether Type value to be used in the SAT traffic generation will not be applicable; it will always be Accedian fixed proprietary Ether type 0x88FC.
4. TPID configurations of the destination interface used for SAT Test and the TPID values of VLAN tag parameters in Traffic configuration must be consistent.
   

   ---

   Note: Destination interface represents the source interface of the Y.1564 test. The source interface sends out Y.1564 packets from Skylight Flex.

Y.1564 Configuration Procedure

The Y.1564 SAT test is performed in switches with bridge mode as Provider Edge Bridges, on NNI side (Provider Network Port) ports.

To configure Y.1564

1. Port configurations:

Configure terminal
shut spanning-tree
interface range xl 0/1
no shutdown
exit
end

2. # Service VLAN configurations:

Configure terminal
vlan 10
ports xl 0/1
end

Configure terminal
interface xl 0/1
switchport ingress ether-type 0x8100 inner-ether-type 0x8100
switchport egress ether-type 0x8100 inner-ether-type 0x8100
end

3. # Y1564 Enable configurations:

configure terminal
no shutdown y1564
y1564 enable
end

4. # Y1564 Traffic Profile configurations

configure terminal
y1564 traffic-profile 1

After the successful configuration of the command, the CLI enters the SLA mode, and the Flex CLI prompt changes as follows:

Your Product(config-traffic-profile-1564)#

The user must configure the packet size, EtherType, destination MAC, source MAC, and VLAN tag for the ESAT packet.

packet-size emix-pattern abc
ether-type 0x88fc
destination-interface xl-ethernet 0/1
source-mac-address 00:15:ad:2f:f4:21
destination-mac-address  00:15:ad:2f:f2:a1
vlan-tag outer vlan 10 dot1p-priority 3 tpid 0x8100 dei enable
end

5. # Y1564 Service configurations

configure terminal
y1564 service-configuration 1

After the successful configuration of the command, the CLI enters the Service Configuration mode, and the Flex CLI prompt changes as follows:

Your Product(service-config-1564)#

service-config cir 40000000 cbs 18750 eir 50000000 ebs 22500
end

6. # Y1564 Service Acceptance Criteria configurations

configure terminal
y1564 sac 1 information-rate 30 frame-loss-ratio 0 frame-time-delay 1000 frame-delay-variation 1000 availability 10
end

Based on the acceptance values, the test will be considered as either PASS or FAIL.

7. # Y1564 SLA configurations

configure terminal
y1564 sla 1

After the successful configuration of the command, the CLI enters the SLA mode and the Flex CLI prompt changes as follows:

Your Product(config-sla-1564)#

test selector stepLoad-cir-test
rate-step 10
configuration-test-duration 10
map traffic-profile 1
map service-configuration 1
map sac 1
end

8. # Y1564 Start the Test configurations

configure terminal
y1564 service-configuration-test sla 1 start
end

9. To verify the Y.1564 SAT result, enter:

show y1564 service-configuration-report sla-id 1

10. To verify the Y.1564 SLA configuration, enter:

show y1564 sla 1

11. To verify the Y.1564 SAT traffic-profile configuration, enter:

show y1564 traffic-profile 1

12. To verify the Y.1564 SAC configuration, enter:

show y1564 sac 1
