Service Activation Test and Reporting for Skylight Flex

The following procedure is for Skylight Flex Service Activation Test (SAT) and Reporting in Skylight orchestrator. The SAT test is executed via the Flow Executors page. The workflow involves:

• Importing profile template support for SAT on Skylight Flex
• Enabling Y.1564 on the Skylight Flex device that will be the near end device
• Creating, starting, and showing the test report
• Obtaining final SAT test result

Supported SAT Test Types

• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA – Untagged
• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA - Single-tagged
• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA - Double-tagged
• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA - Performance – Untagged
• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA - Performance - Single-tagged
• Y1564 Service Configuration - SAC - SLA - Performance - Double-tagged

Preconditions

Before beginning:

• Set up topology
• Prepare the devices
• Enable Y.1564 on the near end device

Set Up Topology

Two Skylight Flex units, Flex-1 (near end device) and Flex-2 (far end device), must be connected back-to-back via interface XL-ethernet 0/1.

Prepare the Devices

After your setup is complete, follow the steps in this section to prepare both Flex devices.

1. Change bridge port type of UNI interface to Customer Edge Port-type (optional).

• Connect to the UNI Interface:

config terminal; interface extreme-ethernet 0/1

• Change port type to customerEdgePort:

bridge port-type customerEdgePort; end

2. Change bridge port type of the NNI interface to Provider Network Port-type.

• Connect to NNI Interface:

config terminal; interface XL-ethernet 0/1

• Change port type to provider network port:

bridge port-type providerNetworkPort

3. Configure member ports on VLAN 1 (applicable for: un-tagged):

config terminal; vlan 1

• Add the NNI port to the VLAN:

ports add XL-ethernet 0/1
ports xl 0/1 untagged xl 0/1 ;end

4. Configure EtherType on the NNI interface (applicable for: single-tagged; double-tagged).

• Connect to NNI interface:

config terminal; interface XL-ethernet 0/1

• Egress EtherType (use the necessary tpid 0x88a8 or 0x8100):

switchport egress ether-type 0x88a8

• Ingress EtherType (use the necessary tpid 0x88a8 or 0x8100):

switchport ingress ether-type 0x88a8; end

5. Configure Customer VLAN (applicable for: double-tagged).

• Connect to NNI interface:

config terminal; interface XL-ethernet 0/1

• Configure the Inner EtherType on the NNI port:

switchport egress inner-ether-type 0x88a8
switchport ingress inner-ether-type 0x88a8

• Connect to the UNI interface:

config terminal; interface extreme-ethernet 0/1

• Configure the Customer VLAN. This is optional and not required for a test that is created between Flex NNI to NNI.

switchport customer-vlan 20 service-vlan 10
switchport dot1q customer vlan 20

6. Configure member ports on VLAN 10 (applicable for: single-tagged; double-tagged).

• Create VLAN 10:

config terminal; vlan 10

• Add the member ports to VLAN 10 and configure the ex 0/1 as untagged. Untagging the port enables it to receive the packets from the trunk port after the VLAN is popped out.

ports extreme-ethernet 0/1 XL-ethernet 0/1 untagged extreme-ethernet 0/1

Enable Y.1564 on the Near End Device

This step applies to Flex-1. You only need to enable Y.1564 once; all SAT tests are created without performing this step again.

1. Enable the Y.1564 system:

config terminal; no shutdown y1564; end

2. Enable the Y.1564 module:

config terminal; y1564 enable; end

3. Set Flow Bytes mode to Layer 2 (Layer 2 is default):

config terminal; y1564 flow-bytes mode layer2; end

Procedure

Import the Flow Profile

You must import a flow profile the first time you use the SAT test on Skylight Flex from Skylight orchestrator.

Subsequent CLI Sets and SAT test flow templates will be automatically imported.

flowProfileExportForSAT.profile

To Import a Configuration flow profile

1. Access the page Commissioning ▶ Flow Profiles.

2. Click the Import flow button. The Commissioning file import dialog is displayed.

3. Browse to the flowProfileForSAT.profile file and click the Import button. The import status is indicated in the Commissioning file import dialog.

4. Close the Import devices dialog.
   

Create Flow Executor for SAT Test

After the preconditions are met and importing is complete, create the flow executor supports for the SAT test.

To create a SAT test through flow executor

1. Access the page Commissioning ▶ Flow Executors.

2. Select the Add flow executor button. The Profile selection tab is above.

3. Enter a name for the executor in the Executor name field.

4. In the Profile name tab, check the profile of the SAT type that you want to execute. Only one profile can be selected.

5. Select the Device selection tab for the near end device; Flex-1.

6. Drag devices from the list of available devices (in the left pane) to the appropriate group of target devices (in the right pane).

7. Select the Parameters Input tab.

8. Enter values for all parameters in the list. Refer to required parameters.

9. Click Apply.

10. Select the Execution status tab and click the Start Executor button to immediately execute the configuration flow.
