Triple Play Triple Play concept The concept for the setting up a triple play service in VES-1616PE-54, is to manage the Internet, IPTV and VoIP traffic that are assigned into different VLANs. We will give an example of a service deployed in the fields, according to the following diagram.
The goal of this case study is to demonstrate a proof of concept on a PPPoE service applied on ZyXEL own VDSL2 and BRAS devices. The scenario is focused on 3 devices: VES-1616PE-54, P-870HW-51aV2 and SMG-700. The client shall be able to enjoy INTERNET access, by simply plugging the Ethernet cable to the CPE, i.e.
The WAN interface in P-870HW-51aV2 shall be configured into PPPoE mode with the correct username and password, which the egress traffic will automatically be tagged with VLAN=100. VES-1616PE-54 untags the coming PPPoE traffic from the CPE, and relay it to the BRAS, SMG-700. The SMG-700 shall be able to establish the...
IP domain topology The IP topology is described in details on the above diagram, keeping in mind that the NAT router at this demo has the ability to route the 172.168.23.0 domain to the INTERNET with NAT feature. Notice that the WinRADIUS is a (free) software that can be installed in Windows OS, in this case, WinXP.
SMG-700 configuration 1. Interface Configuration a. Go to Network Setting > Interface Configuration b. Select “up1” for the uplink Interface c. Input the IP Address for the uplink interface, e.g. ”172.168.23.10” d. Input the IP Subnet Mask for the uplink interface, e.g. “255.255.255.0” e.
3. ISP Info Setting Configuration a. Go to Service Setting > ISP Info Setting b. Input the ISP Domain Name, e.g. “test.com” c. Select the Authentication Method, e.g. “PAP” d. Select the Authentication Server, e.g. “Radius” e. Click Add f. Click the test.com ISP Domain Name just created to edit g.
4. Win RADIUS a. Make sure that Win Radius v4.00 is properly installed in a PC (OS: WinXP) with the IP of the NIC configured as IP: 172.168.23.101/24 b. Check if the NAS Secret and the Authorization and Accounting ports match the settings in the SMG-700 c.

VES-1616PE-54 configurations 1. VLAN configuration a. Go to Advanced Application > VLAN > Static VLAN b. Check the Active box c. Input the Name, e.g. “Internet” d. Input the VLAN Group ID, e.g. “100” e. Set port 1 to be “fixed” and check the Tx Tagging box f.
P-870HW-51aV2 configurations 1. WAN configuration a. Go to Network > WAN > Internet Connection b. Input the Name, e.g. “INTERNET” c. Select the Mode as “PPPoE” d. Type the User Name, e.g. “VDSL2@test.com” e. Type the Password, e.g. “1234” f. Check the Retry when the authentication fails box g.
Multicast Service We shall set up an MVR=200 in VES-1616PE-54, to allow the multicast traffic to pass through without consuming too much resources. The multicast traffic is tagged with VID=200 before coming to the VES. The P-870HW-51Av2 also tags the IGMP upstream traffic with VLAN=200, and untags it at the downstream direction.

VoIP Service The VoIP traffic is tagged by the P-870HW-51aV2 with VID=300, so the objective of the VES is to make sure that the traffic of VLAN 300 is treated with high priority, forcing its 802.1p to be 7 at all time. In here will demonstrate how this configuration is done by using the classifier and policy rules.

VLAN-tagged, to improve management efficiency. Scenario The WAN interface in P-870HW-51aV2 is configured so that its egress traffic is automatically tagged with VLAN=10, priority=0 under TPID=8100. According to the Service Provider this client subscribed to, the VES-1616PE-54 has to add an outer tag...

VLAN=20, priority=5 under TPID=9100 before forwarding upwards to the Internet. For the traffic on the downlink direction, the VES-1616PE-54 shall only untag VLAN=20, priority=5 under TPID=9100, and let the P-870HW-51aV2 untag the rest, i.e. VLAN=10, priority=0 under TPID=8100. 1.

VDSL Template VDSL Template application notes On VES-1616PE-54, you can specify a primary and a fallback VDSL template for each subscriber port. A subscriber port uses the parameters defined in the primary VDSL template when the line is initialized. When the actual line condition is too poor to use the primary template (for example, the defined minimum transmission rate cannot be reached), the VES then uses the fallback template instead.
The Fallback VDSL profile should consist of: 1. Band plan 12a 2. US/DS = 20/20 mbps 3. PhyR enabled 1. VDSL Profile Configuration for Primary Template a. Go to VDSL Setup > VDSL Profile > Line Profile b. Input the Name, e.g. “lineprofileA” c.
