Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Traffic Scan The traffic scan tool provides the capability to discover and monitor VLAN or MPLS traffic flows on the network. Note: In order to access traffic scan, a test must be created but not running. If the test is started while the traffic scan is running, the traffic scan will automatically stops. Press Main, Tools, and Traffic Scan. Scan Starts/stops the traffic scan test. Mode Allows the selection of VLAN or MPLS traffic scan mode. The default setting is VLAN.
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Level Allows the selection of the criteria that will be used to filter the incoming VLAN or MPLS traffic flows. The default setting is All. Choices are: Mode Level VLAN C-VLAN Description Discovers/monitors only frames where the outer VLAN is a C-VLAN (TPID of 0x8100).
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Sort Traffic flows appearing in the scan table will be sorted using the parameter selected from this list. Order Traffic flows appearing in the scan table may be ordered Ascending or Descending based on the parameter selected on the Sort list.
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Monitored Frames Table Statistics are gathered for each different traffic flow matching the scan criteria and filters. Each different traffic flow creates a separate entry in the scan table. When the limit is reached, new traffic flows are not considered but the existing traffic flows are still monitored. Note: Scan statistics are cleared when restarting the scan or when the test is cleared.
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan For MPLS Mode, the level of MPLS (Unlabeled, 1 Label, 2 Labels), and the values of Label ID and COS are used to identify a traffic flow. Any difference in one of these values, except for those set to Ignore (see Filter Cfg on page 395), will create a separated entry in the table.
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Frame Count indicates for each traffic flow, the number of frames matching the selected scan criteria and filters. Total indicates the number of frames matching the selected scan criteria and filters. Rate (Mbps) indicates for each traffic flow, the rate of frames received matching the selected scan criteria and filters. The rate is expressed either in Line Utilization or Ethernet Bandwidth (see Rate Layer on page 391).
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Filter Cfg Press the Filter Cfg button to access to the filter configuration pop-up. Only parameters set to All will be considered to identify each traffic flow. The availability of filters depends on the VLAN or MPLS Level selected. Scan Level Filters VLAN All and E-VLAN E-VLAN priority, S-VLAN ID and Priority, C-VLAN ID and Priority. S-VLAN S-VLAN Priority, C-VLAN ID and Priority. C-VLAN C-VLAN Priority. Untagged Not applicable.
Tools Tabs Traffic Scan Filtering on a VLAN ID requires that all VLAN IDs from the current up to the outer VLAN are included in the filtering criteria. Filtering on a VLAN Priority requires that its VLAN ID is included in the filtering criteria. Note: Setting a VLAN ID to Ignore will automatically ignore its Priority and TPID values. Setting a MPLS ID to Ignore will automatically switch its COS’s filter to Ignore.
23 Suspend and Resume Suspend and Resume allow respectively the FTB-200 and its running applications to stop (Suspend) and to be quickly re-initialized (Resume) when the unit is turned back on. Suspend Mode To enter suspend mode, hold down the On/Off button a few seconds until the unit beeps once. In Suspend Mode, the Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application module is directly turned off and its configuration and injection information are kept in static RAM.
Suspend and Resume Resume Operation Resume Operation To enter the resume operation, turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button. During the resume operation, the module is re-initialized and once its booting cycle is completed the test is created with the configuration maintained in static RAM. In the event a power failure or manual shutdown of the FTB-200 occurs, while the resume operation is in-progress, the resume operation is terminated and all the test configuration information is lost.
24 Power Failure Recovery The automatic power failure recovery is used to re-create and restart the test that was running before the power failure. A test that was created and not running before the power failure will be re-created but not started. The configuration of the test is saved automatically once the test is created. The logger, injections, and configuration are periodically saved. The following requirements control the power failure recovery process: 1.
Power Failure Recovery The test that was running will be re-created and started after a power failure if all the following conditions are met: The test was running. Application Startup is enabled on the FTB-200. The start time has not expired during the power failure. The stop time or the duration has not expired during the power failure. When Using SmartMode SmartMode is not supported meaning that SmartMode will return to its default factory settings after a power failure recovery.
25 Maintenance To help ensure long, trouble-free operation: Always inspect fiber-optic connectors before using them and clean them if necessary. Keep the unit free of dust. Clean the unit casing and front panel with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Store unit at room temperature in a clean and dry area. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight. Avoid high humidity or significant temperature fluctuations. Avoid unnecessary shocks and vibrations.
Maintenance Recalibrating the Unit Recalibrating the Unit Manufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISO/IEC 17025 Standard, which states that calibration documents must not contain a recommended calibration interval, unless this has been previously agreed upon with the customer. Validity of specifications depends on operating conditions.
