56 Gigabit Ethernet with: 3 Electrical ports and 1 SFP port Programmable switching fabric: transparent mode, VLAN mode, mixed mode, or DPP VLAN Mode Comprehensive QoS, policing & prioritization options VLAN tagging (802.1q) and QinQ (802.3ac) RWPR TM enhanced RSTP (802.1w) Layer 2 link aggregation (802.3ad) Layer 1 link aggregation Flow control through pause-frame option Jumbo frames to 9600 bytes Comprehensive RMON & performance indicators Low latency, less than 360 microseconds for 2000 byte packets 56 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

57 DAC GE: Basic Operation Three RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T ports & one SFP Optical 1000Base-X port connect to an Ethernet switch, which provides the bridge/switch & queuing functions between the ports & transport channels C1 & C2 Gate array (FPGA) provides signal framing & interface to the backplane bus Switch also supports an enhanced RSTP function & layer 2 (L2) link aggregation 57 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

58 DAC GE Plug-in Configuration Screen 58 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 Mode of Operation Basic settings Transport Channel Capacity

59 DAC GE: Modes of Operation Three or more operational modes (dependent on license and configuration of radio): Transparent Mixed VLAN DPP VLAN (Node based license required) L1 Link Aggregation (feature license dependant) 59 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

60 DAC GE: Modes of Operation Transparent Mode Transparent is the default, broadcast domain mode; all ports and channels are interconnected. Mixed Mode Provides a two-LAN solution where LAN P1-C1 provides dedicated transport for port 1 traffic. A second transparent/broadcast mode LAN connection is provided with P2, P3, P4 & C2 bridged. 60 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

61 DAC GE: Modes of Operation VLAN Mode Supports four separate LANs. VLAN 1 is the same as in Mixed Mode, where dedicated transport is provided for port P1 traffic on channel C1. VLANs on ports P2, P3 and P4 are aggregated onto a common trunk, channel C2. Internal VLAN tagging ensures correct end-to-end matching of LANs over the link. DPP VLAN Mode DPP VLAN mode is only enabled for DPP operation. It supports two port-based VLANs for DPP- connected RAC 60/6Xs. Each VLAN uses two paired ports. One port is used for the DPP connection to a RAC 60/6X, the other is the user port. 61 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

62 DAC GE: Transport Channel and DPP Capacity Transport channel capacity for C1 and C2 is selected in multiples of: 1.54 Mbps with an Nx1.54 Mbps backplane bus 2 Mbps with an Nx2 Mbps backplane bus 155 Mbps with an Nx155 Mbps backplane bus The channels are mapped via the FPGA to the backplane bus for cross-connection to a RAC or RACs for a radio link Cross connection via the backplane is configured in the Circuits screen Radio Traffic can be a mix of backplane and DPP traffic For DPP operation the port connecting to the RAC 60/6X DPP port is enabled in the DPP screen, capacity is automatically set as remaining non-backplane connected capacity 62 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

63 DAC GE: Basic Port Settings Per Port selection is provided for: Enabled – per-port selection to enable port, enabled port will alarm if no signal is detected. Port must be enabled to carry traffic Port up box will be ticked once valid Ethernet framing is detected Connection Type and Speed – per-port selection of auto negotiate or manual settings for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex Resolved box will be ticked once port speed is auto-resolved Interface Cable Type – per port selection of auto or manual settings for Mdi or MdiX 63 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

64 DAC GE: Global Settings Flow Control Flow Control is implemented through use of IEEE 802.3x pause frames, which tell the remote node to stop transmission when the amount of data in the receive buffer hits a ‘high water mark’. The receiver will signal to the transmitter to restart once sufficient data has been read from the buffer, triggered by a ‘low water mark. Maximum Frame Size Sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the port, which determines the largest datagram that can be transmitted without it being broken down into smaller units (fragmented) - settable range is 64 to 9600 bytes Address Learning Address Learning is default implemented to support efficient management of Ethernet traffic in multi-host situations. The option to disable is for use in a ring network where protection for Ethernet traffic is provided by an external RSTP switch; not by the RWPR™ function within DAC GE. The MAC address cache supports 8196 entries. Link Status Propagation Setting to shut down ports in the event of a radio link failure 64 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

65 DAC GE: Priority Mapping Tab 65 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 Priority Mode provides selection of queue-controller operation for the following options: Port default enables the setting of a four-level port priority on each of the four ingress ports; low, medium-low, medium-high, and high Priorities are strict, for example when traffic is congested all higher priority traffic is sent before the next lower priority traffic 802.1p provides prioritization based on the three-bit priority. Each of the possible eight tag priority values are mapped into a four-level (2-bit) priority level. DiffServ provides prioritization based on the six bits of the IP packet Type of Service field. Each of the possible 63 levels are mapped into a four-level (2-bit) priority level. No priority means incoming frames are passed transparently. No Priority is the default setting

66 DAC GE: VLAN Tagging VLAN Tagging enables the aggregation of two or more LANs on a common trunk. This is accomplished by inserting a 4 byte field into an Ethernet frame between the source MAC address and the EtherType/Length field. Various DAC GE modes of operation provide for automatic tagging and un-tagging of frames on ingress and egress. Custom settings can be used to further define this process. If VLANs are NOT used then every message sent is broadcast throughout the LAN, this is called the broadcast domain. Segmentation into VLANs means that each broadcast domain is operated as a separate virtual LAN on the same physical network; The 802.1q TCI field has settings for a VLAN ID (VID) and 802.1p priority code point (PCP) 66 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

67 DAC GE: VLAN Screen 67 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

68 DAC GE: VLAN Tagging The DAC GE VLAN tagging screen supports 802.1q VLAN tagging options and 802.1p prioritization options Untagged frames can be tagged Frames with existing tags can also be tagged (double tagged) At the far end of the link, added tags can be removed or left intact (do nothing mode) With this capability DAC GE can tag, prioritize and aggregate traffic from two, three or four ports onto a common radio trunk. At the far end of the DAC GE trunk, which may be over multiple hops, options are provided to remove the VLAN tags applied by DAC GE, or allow them to be retained intact for VLAN traffic management at downstream devices. 68 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

69 DAC GE: VLAN Tagging 69 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 Max 4 ports transported over a single radio link from Site X Site X incoming tagged VLANs are double tagged for assignment to network provider destinations Site Y is configured as transparent mode and all VLANs pass through all egress ports Provider tagged VLANs forwarded to Site Z are stripped (outer tag) and forwarded based on inner tag

70 DAC GE: Protection DAC GE plug-ins are not Module-protectable If plug-in redundancy is required, two parallel DAC GE - DAC GE links may be configured, and an external aggregation switch used at each end to manage path contention & load sharing Ring protection is provided by Aviat's enhanced RSTP function called RWPR TM (Resilient Wireless Packet Ring). Without protection, loops will cause broadcast storms in Ethernet rings. DAC GE traffic can be RAC protected via the Transport channels or DPP 70 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 Basic DPP Protection (DAC GE same as DAC GE3)

71 DAC GE: RWPR Eclipse RWPR TM is an option on DAC GE modules which delivers much faster reconvergence times than with a standard external RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree) switch RWPR uses standard RSTP costs to determine the root bridge and the root paths based on Bridge ID, Path Cost and Port Priority Eclipse RWPR achieves faster times through a proprietary rapid failure detection (RFD) mechanism that eliminates the normal time-out period used by RSTP to confirm a path failure. Transport channel mode must be set to Rapid Failure Detection RWPR may be used over Eclipse link-aggregated links and is typically enabled on transport channels, DPP Ports, and ports connecting DAC GE’s together 71 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

72 DAC GE RWPR Configuration Screen 72 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

73 Link Aggregation When more capacity is needed than can be transported over one physical link, link aggregation provides a solution Two or more physical links are established, and link aggregation is used to provide one logical link with a capacity that is the sum of the individual links DAC GE supports link aggregation options at Layer 1 and Layer 2 Link aggregation also provides redundancy 73 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

74 DAC GE : L2 Link Aggregation L2 link aggregation using the DAC GE switch L2LA uses source and/or destination MAC address data in the Ethernet frame MAC/LLC header With normal LAN traffic densities (16+ concurrent sessions), the layer 2 aggregation keying generally ensures equitable balancing of traffic between the links to ensure that no one link is overwhelmed Where there is only a single MAC addresses in play, such as a connection between two routers, load balancing is not effective; all traffic transits just one of the links Where there are just a handful of MAC source and destination addresses in play, link load balancing may be less than optimum, particularly if one or two streams dominate the available bandwidth 74 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

75 DAC GE: L2 Link Aggregation 75 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

76 DAC GE: L2 Link Aggregation 76 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

78 DAC GE: L1 Link Aggregation 78 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 L1 link aggregation using circuit cross-connects on the INU/INUe backplane bus L1 (physical layer) aggregation acts on the backplane bus data stream on a per byte basis Compared to L2LA, it provides optimum 50/50 payload balance regardless of the throughput demands of individual user connections and is ideal for router to router connections L1LA requires a feature license

79 DAC GE: L1LA with Separate INUs Master DAC GE The master DAC GE provides the L1 link aggregation function. It provides the customer connection to the link aggregated group AP1 always refers to the link/path provided from the INU that is hosting the master DAC GE Up to 3 slave ports (AP2-4) may be selected by ticking the adjacent box The Group ID should be the same for all masters and slaves on both ends of the links 79 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

80 DAC GE: L1LA with Separate INUs Slave DAC GE One port (any) is set to provide the physical connection to the master DAC GE. Ensure the slave number selected is correct for the intended path as set in the master. Ensure the virtual container size (presently fixed) and number of virtual containers is set to match the selection made in the master. Ensure the Group ID is set to match the Group ID selected in the master. 80 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

94 DAC GE3: Scheduler Scheduler - 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). Strict priority - the scheduler serves a lower priority queue only if all higher priority queues are empty. 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. Hybrid - enables a combination of strict with DWRR. A typical implementation 94 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012

95 DAC GE3 – Link Status Propagation 95 AVIAT NETWORKS | January 2012 Link Status Propagation (LSP) is used to force a port shutdown at both ends of a DAC GE3 link in the event of a failure, and to restore port operation at both ends when normal operation returns. Link Restore Timer - The ports 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.
