Create

Use the following procedure to Create an Ethernet Port Service Profile:

  1. In the Port dialog screen, click the Create a New Profile () icon in the Main Menu bar. The Create Ethernet Port Service Profile dialog is displayed.


     
  2. Enter a Profile Name for this profile, then set the profile values In the Create Ethernet Port Service Profile dialog, refer to the Ethernet Port Service Profile Attributes table below and fill in the fields as needed to create the Service profile.
     
    Field Description Options
    Profile Name Each profile must have a unique profile name. This string is user-defined. The Profile Name field can accept up to 40 alphanumeric characters and may include hyphens (-) and underscores (_).
     
    IGMP Proxy
         		 Defines whether the IGMP proxy should be enabled on the interface. It is assumed that the Network Interface that has the IGMP proxy enabled is the Network Interface where the originator of the IGMP query is found. It is allowed to enable the IGMP Proxy on multiple interfaces when redundant paths are defined.
     

    Enable/Disabled

    Default:  Disabled
    Service Type

    The type of service provided, as follows:

    • IPTV - Internet Protocol Television
    • Bridge N:N- Provides transparent bridging (802.1Q) of all traffic types for the connection (including IPv4 and IPv6 support). Allows ONT-to-ONT communication without the need to split horizon router functions.
    • VLAN Trunk - Provides 24 tagged and 1 untagged VLAN and is dedicated to trunks and no other service type.
    		 Default:  Bridged N:N
     
    802.1p Marking Mode

    The pBit mode is used to set the pBit to DSCP mapping option method. Possible selections include:

    • STATIC - Sets the pBit statically on all packets to the same value (default). The pBit mode of STATIC indicates that the pBit value of ingress user traffic (traffic going from the subscriber port toward the network) is set to the value supplied in the VLAN Priority.
    • COPY - The Copy option is used with TLS or priority tagged to copy the pBits from the ingress stream. The granularity is on the GEM port, which equates to a connection. This option allows the system to mark voice as high priority and protect it with a real-time variable bit rate.
    • DSCP Mapped - The DSCP mapped option uses the DSCP to pBit mapping profile table to set the pBits on all packets.
    		 Default:  STATIC
     
    Marked 802.1p Priority

    The quality of service (QOS) priority that is placed on untagged traffic in the upstream direction.

    Note: Set the VLAN Priority to 5 for voice connections.

    		 Range: 0 (lowest) through 7 (highest}

    Default:  0
     
    802.1q VLAN Enter the network VLAN value.

    Range: 0 to 4095

    Default:  4095
    Subscriber VLAN When this check box is selected, Subscriber VLAN opens an entry field to enter the Subscriber VLAN (SVLAN). Untagged/Native or

    Tagged/Trunk or

    Priority Tagged

    Default:  Untagged
     
    Service
     
    Service Protocol
     

    Designates the Bridging service protocol(s) for Ethernet subscriber lines.

    Bridged N:N and VLAN Trunk service type select one of the following Service Protocols:

    • IPv4 IPoE - Internet Protocol over Ethernet, IPv4 support only
    • Transparent - Supports mixed IPv4, IPv6, and other type data traffic (default)
    		 IPv4 IPoE/Transparent

    Default:  Transparent




     
    IPoE
     
    DHCP Option 82
     
    provides additional security when DHCP is used to allocate network addresses. It enables
    the controller to act as a DHCP relay agent to prevent DHCP client requests from untrusted sources.

    Note: Only available for IPv4.

    		 Default:  Unchecked
     

    Rate Downstream  

    Note: If Service Type is set to IPTV, this section is not available.
    Shaping
         		 Enables the flooding of broadcast, multicast, and unlearned Unicast.
         		 Enable/Disable

    Default:  Disabled
     
    Shaping Mode
         		 Select either Entire VLAN or Single 802.1p Priority.
     
     
    Class of Service
     

    Set the class of service (CoS) as follows. Each setting maps to a different CoS traffic contract (T-CONT).

    • CBR2 - Used for connections that transport traffic where the sustained and peak rates are identical. Typical applications include voice services that require a constant allocation of bandwidth for signaling. The bandwidth is allocated, whether used or not.
    • CBR1 - Used for connections that transport traffic at variable rates. A typical application that uses CBR1 are compressed video streams. Use when latency is of utmost concern. The bandwidth is allocated, whether used or not.
    • nrt-VBR - Used for connections that transmit bit rate traffic for which there is no inherent reliance on time synchronization between the traffic source and destination, but there is a need for an attempt at a specified bandwidth. An application that might require nrt-VBR service is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or IP-based VTC applications. This is an enhanced class of service with a higher priority than UBR connections.
    • UBR - Unspecified bit rate (default). Used for connections that transport variable bit rate traffic for which there is no reliance on time synchronization between the source and destination. UBR is generally used for applications that are very tolerant of delay and cell loss, such as file transfers, e-mail, IP streams, and general LAN connections, etc. Typical Active Ethernet CoS.
    		 Default:  UBR


     
    Downstream Peak Rate
     

    Peak rate (also referred to as peak information rate (PIR)) is the shape rate for both downstream traffic.

    Note 1: This entry cannot be less than the Sustained Rate.

    Note 2: If using a value less than 512 Kbps is set, the ONTs automatically set this rate to 512 Kbps.

    Note 3: When creating a connection profile to be applied to ONT728GP, ONT729F, or ONT729GP ONTs, the best upstream performance is achieved when an Ethernet Port Profile is created with the desired Upstream CIR rate (refer to Create Ethernet Port Profiles).

    		 Range: 256 - 1000192 Kbps in increments of 256 Kbps.

    Default: 10240 Kbps.
     
    Downstream Sustained Rate
     

    Sustained rate (also referred to as sustained information rate (SIR)) is the specified rate in the upstream traffic.

    Note 1: This entry cannot be greater than the Peak Rate.

    Note 2: If the associated hardware cannot support the specified rate, it approximates the specified rate as closely as possible.

    Note 3: If using a value less than 512 Kbps, the ONTs automatically set this rate to 512 Kbps.

    		 Range:  0 - 1000192 Kbps in increments of 256 Kbps

    Default: 1024 Kbps.
     
    Shaped 802.1p Priority
     

    Shaped flow traffic classification (priority). Used only when the Rate Limit Mode is Single 802.1 pBit; only the downstream value is used, because the entire VLAN is shaped in the upstream direction.

    Network priority values are 0 - 7, with 7 being the highest priority (default is 0). The purpose of this value is to differentiate the priorities of the HSI and set-top box traffic when on the same VLAN. Typically, the priority of set-top box traffic is higher.

    		 Range:  0 - 7

    Default: 0.
