Thanks for sharing your feedback!
A Skylight sensor: control can function as a reflector for various types of performance measurement sessions:
- 2xOneWay - IPv4 (encapsulation types: GRE, ICMP, RTP, SCTP, UDP, TCP)
- Echo - IPv4 and IPv6 (encapsulation types: ICMP, UDP)
- Ethernet - OAM (variations: Eth-DM, Eth-LB, Eth-VS)
- TWAMP (only stateful TWAMP [not stateless]; variations: IPv4, IPv6).
This job also allows you to configure the sensor: control to reflect "scan" messages from the Skylight Director Manager Module. This means Skylight orchestrator will be able to discover the Skylight sensor: control.
You can set up a configuration job to enable the reflection capabilities of the Skylight sensor: control for various types of sessions and encapsulation. For certain combinations, you must also set the port to be used for reflection.
To set up a Session Reflector configuration job
Access the page Commission ▶ Jobs.
Set all common configuration job settings, as described in "Creating Configuration Jobs in GUI Mode" and "Creating Configuration Jobs Using Data Sets". If you check ME reference data set enabled checkbox, see the table Session Reflector tab - Dataset section below for information about the fields.
Select Session Reflector in the left pane. The Session Reflector tab is displayed.
Complete the fields as explained in the table below this procedure.
Click Apply, then click Close.
Click the Refresh
button to refresh the user interface.

2xOneWay - IPv4
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| GRE | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation). |
| ICMP | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) encapsulation. |
| RTP | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using RTP (Real- time Transport Protocol) encapsulation. |
| RTP Port | Enter a value (from 1 to 65,535) for the RTP port. |
| SCTP | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) encapsulation. |
| SCTP Port | Enter a value (from 1 to 65,535) for the SCTP port. |
| TCP | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) encapsulation. |
| TCP Port | Enter a value (from 1 to 65,535) for the TCP port. |
| UDP | Enable or disable reflection of 2xOneWay sessions using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) encapsulation. |
| UDP Port | Enter a value (1 to 65,535) for the UDP port. |
Echo - UDP
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| UDP - IPv4 | Select True or False. |
| IPv4 UDP Port | Enter a value (1 to 65535) for the UDP port. |
| UDP - IPv6 | Select True or False. |
| IPv6 UDP Port | Enter a value (1 to 65535) for the UDP port. |
Echo - ICMP
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IPV4 | Select True or False. |
| IPV6 | Select True or False. |
Eth OAM
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Eth DM | Enable or disable reflection of Ethernet DM (Frame Delay Measurement) sessions. |
| Eth LB | Enable or disable reflection of Ethernet LB (Loopback) sessions. |
| Eth VS | Enable or disable reflection of Ethernet VS (Vendor Specific) sessions. Specifically, this applies to Accedian 2xOneway session implemented as an Eth-VS. This enhanced bidirectional session (for L2 networks) measures and reports all metrics (delay, jitter, loss, and so on) based on one-way measurements. |
| MEG level | The MEG level of the Maintenance Point Possible values: all, 0-7. |
| Enable MEG level | A pull-down menu to enable MEG level. Possible values: True or False. |
| Interface | Indicates that the Management interface is used in the Session Reflector instance. |
Scan
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Enable or disable reflection of discovery scan messages sent by the Skylight Director Manager Module. If scan reflection is enabled, Skylight orchestrator will be able to discover the sensor: control. |
| IPv4 UDP Port | Enter a value (1 to 65535) for the UDP port. |
TWAMP
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IPv4 | Enable or disable reflection of TWAMP sessions using IPv4 addressing. |
| IPv4 Port | Enter a value (1 to 65,535) for the IPv4 port. |
| IPv4 Port 2 | Enter a value (1 to 65,535) for the IPv4 port 2. |
| IPv6 | Enable or disable reflection of TWAMP sessions using IPv6 addressing. |
| IPv6 Port | Enter a value (1 to 65,535) for the IPv6 port. |
| IPv6 Port 2 | Enter a value (1 to 65,535) for the IPv6 port 2. |
