T-BERD /MTS-5800 Network Tester
Ethernet RFC 2544 Layer 3 Traffic
This document outlines how to configure and run an RFC 2544 Layer 3 Traffic Test for Metro Ethernet
Service Activation. A second T-BERD/MTS 5800 or compatible loopback device should be used at the
far-end of the line under test for traffic loopback.
Equipment Requirements:
• T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
o BERT software release V27.0 or greater
o Ethernet test options:
▪ C510M1GE for 1 Gigabit or less
▪ C510GELAN for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
▪ C525GELAN for 25 Gigabit Ethernet
▪ C540GELAN for 40 Gigabit Ethernet
▪ C5100GELAN for 100 Gigabit
Ethernet
o SFP, QSFP, or CFP4 optical transceiver
to match the line under test
• Patch Cords to match the T-BERD/MTS
optics and the line under test
• Fiber optic inspection microscope (VIAVI
P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
Fiber Optic Cleaning supplies
The following information is required to complete the test:
• Physical Interface (10/100/1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-LX, 10GBASE-LR, 100GBASE-LR4, etc.)
• Auto Negotiation settings of the port under test
•
VLAN ID, if VLAN tagging is used
• IP Address Parameters (DHCP or Static, Source IP, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, and
Destination IP)
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
• All fiber end-faces must be clean and pass
an inspection test prior to connection.
•
Use the VIAVI P5000i, FiberChek Probe, or
Sidewinder microscope to inspect both sides
of every connection being used (SFP Port,
bulkhead connectors, patch cords, etc.)
