Page 82: Ethernet Bridging
Customer network Transparent Ethernet service The PTP 800 Series provides an Ethernet service between the data port at a local CMU and the data port at an associated remote CMU. The Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
Page 83: Management Network
Et hernet bridging Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic The PTP 800 Series supports eight traffic queues for Ethernet frames waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Ethernet frames are classified by inspection of the Ethernet destination address, the Ethernet priority code point in the outermost VLAN tag, the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in an IPv4 or IPv6 header, or the Traffic Class in an MPLS header.
Page 84 Et hernet bridging Chapt er 1: Product descript ion VLAN membership The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive either untagged, priority-tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 801.ad) frames. S-tagged frames must be single tagged, in other words, an S-tag with no encapsulated C-tag. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged) or in the range 1 to 4094.
Page 85 Wireless link down alert The PTP 800 Series can be configured to alert a ‘loss of link’ to the connected network equipment. It does this by means of a brief disconnection of the copper data port or fiber data port.
Page 86: Protocol Model
Et hernet bridging Chapt er 1: Product descript ion The wireless link down alert can be deployed in networks which provide alternative traffic routes in the event of failure. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) are two protocols which are commonly deployed in such complex networks and both react to the wireless link down alert.

If a key attribute is configured to be mismatched, an associated alarm will be displayed on the Home page of both neighbor CMUs.
Page 569 PTP 800 Series User Guide Managing alarm s and event s Data port fiber status Definition: Reports the status of the fiber data port. Cause and action: There are two possible causes: • The interface could not be established even though a fiber carrier was detected. This could be due to a broken TX fiber, or because the interface is disabled at the other end of the fiber link.
