This document provides procedures for testing Ethernet services using RFC 2544 testing methods to ensure successful service turn-up and reduce repeat troubles. It outlines performing link settings, connectivity and RFC 2544 tests between two testers connected to near and far end network elements. The RFC 2544 test measures latency, throughput and frame loss to determine if the link turn-up was successful.

RFC2544 Ethernet Test Procedure
Tools Needed: Service description for the circuit under test (e.g. the parameters to be verified) 2 JDSU testers (SmartClass with the Traffic option and another HST, 2802, or SmartClass Ethernet Tester with the proper GBICs (MM-SX or SM-LX) Appropriate Fiber cables (duplex SC MM or SM)
2 Test 1: Link Connectivity Test
Summary The first step in the turn-up of an Ethernet service requires that the tester can successfully connect to the near end network element. The purpose of this test is to verify that an Ethernet link is established between the testset and NE. At the end of this test the Sync LED should turn solid green and the Summary screen should state that all results are OK.
Test Set-up 1. When the unit boots up one should be on the main screen. Select Electrical Ethernet (button 1) to test electrical cables, select Optical Ethernet to test Optical Links. For this procedure we will follow Electrical Ethernet testing.
2. Select L2 RFC-2544 Test (selection 2).
3. Select Configuration (selection 1).
4. Select Link Settings (selection 1).
5. Select AutoNeg Disabled 6. Select Flow Control OFF 7. Select Speed to be what the work order states you will be tesing the link at. 8. Select Duplex Full
9. Hit the cancel key to go back to the configuration screen. Now select Ethernet Settings. 10. Set the Dest Addr Type to Unicast 11. Set the Frame Type to 802.3 12. At the end of the test hit cancel to go back up to the results screen, then select results and then the summary page. Check the
3 Summary page for errors. If the summary page appears as in figure 1 and the Sync LED is not green, check steps 1-12 for errors. In particular, check the autonegotiation settings of both the network element and the tester to see if one side is not set properly.

Test 2: Connectivity Test
Summary The second step in the turn-up of an Ethernet service requires that the tester can successfully connect to the far end test equipment. In this test the equipment will attempt to loop up the far end device and thus check that connectivity between the two locations exists. At the end of this test the SmartClass will be able to show both a successful loop up and loop down occurred and the far end will display that it received frames.
1. Continue from Test 1. 2. Press the action button 3. Select Loop Up (press button 3). 4. Select Loop Down (press button 4). 5. Check to see that the loop up and loop down was successful.
4 Test 3: RFC 2544 Test
Summary The last step in the turn up process is to actually run the RFC 2544 test. The purpose of this final test is to measure the latency, throughput, and frame loss of the link. At the end of this test the results are automatically saved and the determination of whether the link turn-up is successful or not is determined.
1. Select L2 RFC 2544 test from the main menu. 2. Select Frame Sizes. 3. Select 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 from the frame size selection and have them say yes. You do not need to run jumbo frames, thus select no next to selection 9 (10000 byte frames).
4. Select Test Setup from the menu. 5. Select Test Selection from the menu. 6. Run the Throughput test, Latency test, and the Frame Loss test. You do NOT need to run back-to-back frames test.
7. Select the following test selections: 8. For throughput select (see picture).
