New features of FIU 19E C2.0

1. Processor board: Processor clock speed increment from 33.4 MHz to 50 MHz to achieve better performance 2. Ethernet plug in unit support added: New signals routed to plug in unit slot 2 3. IP DCN Improvements: AUX FAST data channels can be used for IP DCN traffic (alternative to HOP LAN data channel). Now IP DCN traffic capacity is 64-512 kbits/s depending of used radio links capacity. Hop LAN data channels can be alternatively used to be compatible with FIU 19E C1.5

Ethernet Plug-In Unit technical overview

There are three operating modes supported by the Ethernet Plug-In Unit
2/2
1) Channel separation mode - Ethernet interface 1 is connected to radio link 1 and Ethernet interface 2 is connected to radio
link 2
2) Full-switch mode - Traffic from any of the device ports can be forwarded to any output port of the EPIU 3) Capacity sharing mode - It is possible to divide radio links Ethernet capacity between those two Ethernet ports to two
individual bit pipes so that both of the interfaces have a fixed capacity of the radio link - Capacity can be shared quite freely between these two interfaces (granularity is 1/256 of links Ethernet capacity)
Performance monitoring
Basic performance statistics via Q1 & Hopper Manager SNMP statistics: RMON, IF MIB Basic configuration management via Nokia Q1 & Hopper Manager SNMP configuration management supported for EPIU
Configuration management:

Operation temperature adheres to FIU19E requirements. Possibility for remote SW update on the field for EPIU EPIU can be used in combination with any 4x2Mbit/s plug in units, also with EXU

Initially packet traffic exists only between IU1 and IU3 Active IU fails (IU1), IU switchover happens at near end IU1 does not send any packets to Ethernet switch anymore Packets start coming to Ethernet switch through IU2 Ethernet switch learns that packets come only through IU2 Ethernet switch starts transmitting packets to IU2 directly after a timeout. Typically this timeout lasts about 5 minutes (address table ageing time). Typically one Ethernet MAC address exists only behind one port. It is a special/fault situation if same MAC address can be found behind two ports.

8. Notes & Restrictions

If EPIU is attached to a device that does not support auto-negotiation and that supports either full duplex 10/100 Base-T interface, then one has to configure the respective interface on EPIU to operate in full duplex 10 or full duplex 100 mode. If auto-negotiation is used in this case, it would select a wrong operating mode. This feature is originating from auto-negotiation standard, it is not a SW/HW failure. Flow control is a special feature which is not widely used. It should be disabled as default. It can be enabled only when the user really understands the drawbacks and benefits of it. For example TCP/IP networks expect that packets get lost when network is congested. If part of packets are not dropped this will eventually slow down network performance & throughput. Flow control has to be enabled on both sides of the Ethernet radio link, it does not work correctly if enabled only on one side. Flow control can be used in all EPIU operating modes (channel separation, capacity sharing, full switch modes). Flow control works only on full duplex link segments. Tree and branch network topologies are supported for Ethernet traffic with EPIU. EPIU does not support ring topology as such. Ring topology is supported only if there is a spanning tree capable switch included in the ring so that it disables multiple paths to same destination in single Ethernet network (Ethernet LAN). Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) is a special feature it has not yet been widely used in Ethernet networks. When it is used it should be enabled on both sides of Ethernet radio hop. Otherwise link loss information does not pass over the radio link. LLF was originally designed (by Cisco) to be used in load sharing applications where two parallel links are used to give 2X throughput. If one of the links fail, this is detected faster by using LLF. When one link fails its traffic will be directed faster to remaining link. Link loss forwarding does not work in full switch mode. Load sharing: EPIU does not support load sharing as such. External equipment has to be used for doing load sharing over two (or more) parallel links. If one uses capacity sharing mode, it has to be used on both sides of the radio hop. Capacity sharing ratio needs to be same on both sides of the hop. It is preferred to use same FB interface on both sides of the hop when using capacity sharing mode. Capacity sharing mode FB1 FB2 crosses ETH1-ETH2 signals, capacity sharing ratio needs to be mirrored also. In capacity sharing mode one needs to use two FIU 19Es to build a repeater station. External Ethernet cables are needed for looping Ethernet interfaces.

Loop in the network, broadcast & unicast traffic will finally block the network Ethernet interface capacity is much smaller than radio links Ethernet capacity. Maximum utilization of half duplex Ethernet segment is usually 30% of links capacity. At 10 Base-T link segment the utilization would be about 3.5 Mbits/s. This is much less than radio links maximum Ethernet capacity. Also note that on half duplex segment only one host can send at a time. Payload Ethernet interface connected to IP DCN interface. IP DCN traffic should be kept separated from Ethernet payload traffic for network security reasons.

10. IP DCN data channels in FIU 19E C1.5 and C2.0

FIU 19E can route between 10 Base-T Ethernet interface and PPP interfaces FIU 19E supports up to three radios for IP DCN (I.e. three PPP links between IUs) PPP traffic is carried inside radio frame overhead bits PPP Interfaces: AUX Fast & Hop LAN supported in FIU 19E C2.0 HOP LAN supported in FIU 19E C1.5 Hop LAN is supported also in FIU 19E C2.0 for downward compatibility 3rd party IP equipment (BTS, etc) on FIU 19E site can be connected to same IP DCN. See CT Home page for additional info about FIU 19E C1.5 & C2.0 FIU 19E web page (C1.5 & C2.0) Restrictions: AUX Fast channel cannot be used simultaneously by AUX plug in unit and IP DCN Routing capacity of FIU 19E must be taken into account

11. AUX Plug in unit

Provides access to both AUX Fast and AUX Slow data channels at the same time. It is possible to use AUX plug in unit in slot 1 and cross connect its signal to FB2, same applies to FB1 and slot 2. Is it possible to use AUX Fast channel for IP DCN and AUX slow by plug in unit at the same time? AUX plug in unit can be used in slots 1-3 Restrictions: Plug-in unit needs to be installed to same slot on both sides of the hop Two AUX plug-in units can be used simultaneously on same FIU 19 AUX plug-in units cannot be simultaneously used in slots 2 and 3 The same AUX Fast channel cannot be used simultaneously by AUX plug-in unit and IP DCN traffic Use of AUX Fast plug in unit does not restrict the use of Hop LAN

Pinging www.connecting.nokia.com through both Ethernet interfaces Try downloading a large file through Eth-2 from to check that capacity that is allocated to Eth-2 is really 128 Kbits/s. Write down downloaded file size: __________ & time for downloading : ________ Note: data that is transferred over radio link is embedded to IP, Ethernet and HDLC frames thus throughput seems to be lower than expected.

Exercise 4: Test loops

General description: Verify that you are able to use EPIU test loops To be able to do the test with one radio hop, one needs to use capacity sharing mode on both IU1 and IU2. Test loop settings can be found from Hopper Manager at: Maintenance -> Tests -> Loopbacks Configure EPIUs on both IU1 and IU2 to capacity sharing mode Enable all interfaces, Radio link capacity and and capacity sharing ratio can be selected freely 1.
