T-BERD /MTS-5800 Network Tester
Ethernet J-Profiler VLAN Analysis
This document outlines how to use the T-BERD/MTS-5800 J-Profiler application to analyze live network
traffic for bandwidth utilization (top talker analysis) by VLAN ID. J-Profiler can be used on Ethernet
active Switch ports or SPAN (Switch Port Analyzer) ports. A SPAN port is a spare switch port
configured to transmit a copy of the packets sent or received on another switch port. It allows the T-
BERD to receive all network traffic from a given port, without being physically attached to that port.
Bidirectional Traffic can be transmitted to the T-BERD using a single port.
Equipment Requirements:
• T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
o BERT software release V28.0 or greater
o Ethernet test options:
▪ C510M1GE
▪ C5JPROFILER
o SFP optical transceiver to match the line
under test
• Patch Cables to match the optical
transceiver and line under test (CAT5E,
Single mode or Multimode Fiber)
• 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, etc.)
•
Auto Negotiation settings of the port under test
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/QSFP Port, bulkhead connectors,
patch cables, etc.)
