Ethernet features
This chapter summarizes the prominent Ethernet features supported by the TJ1400
product family.
VLAN
VLAN switching is supported as per IEEE 802.1q and VLAN stacking (Q-in-Q) is supported
as per IEEE 802.1ad. Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
Ethernet is supported as per IEEE 802.3 standards.
Management VLAN
The node uses OSPF protocol for network discovery. Each node acts as a router for the
Data Communication Network (DCN). After the Management VLAN is enabled, each node
establishes a one-to-many connection with its neighboring nodes. On each link, the node
forms an OSPF P2P (point-to-point) network on that link. This type of setup ensures that
the OSPF packet generated from one node with the Management VLAN terminates at its
neighboring node and does not travel over to other nodes thereby preventing the
formation of L2 loops.
Management VLAN must be configured on the NNI side and the VLAN should be
associated with the interface.
Ethernet services
Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC). 1024 EVCs are supported on the node
2048 FlowPoints are supported on the node
ELINE EVC
ELAN EVC
Management services

TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
VLAN translation
VLAN translation with Pop and Swap operations are supported at the FlowPoint level for
flexible service delivery with different VLAN domains between the UNI and NNI.
NOTE: Egress Push is supported in VLAN translation and Ingress push is not
supported.
Combo port
TJ1400 product family supports the 'Combo port' option where the ingress and egress
ports can be used as 802.1q or 802.1ad when creating services through those ports.
NE adjacency
NE adjacency provides information of the node's immediate neighbors.
Neighbor information such as the details of the link between the node and the
neighboring node, status of the link, and the local and remote port numbers can be
viewed.
Auto-Discovery is used to discover the next-hop neighbors of the node. With auto-
discovery, the need to manually create trunks on the nodes is eliminated.
The TJ1400 product family supports NE adjacency with the following limitations:
18

Ethernet features
Hybrid TL
Hybrid TL is a logical link to monitor the physical connectivity between two nodes
operating using different technologies, that is, one node is carrying DWDM traffic and the
other node is carrying Ethernet traffic.
FEC
Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a method of obtaining error correction in data
transmission where the source (transmitter) sends redundant data and the destination
(receiver) recognizes only the portion of the data that contains no apparent errors.
OTN frames include transport overhead that provides OAM capabilities and FEC. FEC
helps reduce the number of transmission errors on noisy links and enables the
deployment of longer optical spans.
Loopbacks on ports
Loopbacks are performed to check the continuity of traffic on ports. Ports can be
configured for facility loopback and terminal loopback. If there is a failure in the network,
the exact location of the failure can be detected using loopbacks. Facility and terminal
loopbacks are performed to test the electrical connectivity of the node.
RFC2544
RFC2544 tests helps measure the performance of interconnected network devices.
RFC2544 tests measure throughput, latency, frame loss, and burstability.

TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
input frame reaches the input port and ends when the first bit of the output frame is
seen on the output port.
Frame loss test: Frame loss is the frames that are not forwarded by a network device
due to lack of resources. Frame loss tests calculate the percentage of frames that
should have been forwarded by a network device under steady state loads but were
not forwarded. This measurement is used to report the performance of a network
device in an overloaded state. This measurement also indicates how a device would
perform under extreme network conditions such as broadcast storms.
Burst Test: Burst refers to a relatively high-bandwidth transmission of data in a short
span of time. Burst tests calculate the number of frames in the longest burst that the
device or network being tested will process without losing any frames.
Y1564
Y1564 is an Ethernet service activation test methodology that allows for complete
validation of Ethernet service-level agreements (SLAs) in a single test. Y1564 defines an
out-of-service test methodology to assess the correct configuration and performance of
an Ethernet service to be established prior to customer notification and delivery. The test
methodology applies to the point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity in the
Ethernet layer and to the network portions that provide or contribute to the provisioning
of such services. This recommendation does not define Ethernet network architectures or
services, but rather defines a methodology to test Ethernet-based services at the service
activation stage.
L2 Reflector
L2 Reflector is applied on the remote UNI FlowPoint, causing traffic to get reflected back
with the source and destination mac addresses swapped. The maximum traffic looping
capacity for the reflectors is 10G and it cannot be provisioned on 100G ports. If LAG is
configured across a core network, the reflectors do not work over LAG UNI.
NOTE: Y1564, RFC2544 and Reflector tests are not supported on .1ad ports,
LAG UNI, and VLAN translation FlowPoints.

Ethernet features
ERPS
Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) is a mechanism used for reliable switching and
avoiding loops without using spanning tree protocols. ERPS is applicable to single or
multi-ring topology. ERPS provides sub-50ms protection and recovery switching for
Ethernet traffic in accordance with ITU G.8032 in a ring topology and ensures that no
loops are formed on the Ethernet layer.
In the product user interface, ERPS is displayed as ERP and the node can be configured
as RPL port or RPL neighbor.
The TJ1400 product family supports ERPS with the following limitations:
CEF8-1 card variants support four ERP rings and CSC1 card supports eight ERP rings.
ERPS and MPLS are not supported on the same port.
MPLS-TP
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a standards-approved technology for speeding up
network traffic flow and making it easier to manage. MPLS involves setting up a specific
path for a given sequence of packets identified by a label put in each packet, and saving
the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node to forward the
packet. MPLS is called multi-protocol because it works with the Internet Protocol (IP),
Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols.
Management plane:
Static configuration of Label Switch Path (LSP) and PsuedoWire (PW) and
management through the NMS
OAM handling
Data plane:
Forwarding based on LSP/PW label
Bi-directional path (LSP) for traffic and OAM
OAM support via Associated channel (PW ACH & GE ACH). OAM supports
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), LSP-Ping, and LSP Traceroute
Protection:
MPLS-TP dual-homed PW protection
Tunnel protection
PW protection
21
©Tejas Networks Ltd.
TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
Loop prevention:
MPLS Core may use a full mesh of PWs leading to a possibility of loops. To
prevent loop formation, split-horizon forwarding is implemented.
Multisegment PseudoWire:
Multisegment PW allows to forward traffic from one PseudoWire to another.
The TJ1400 product family supports MPLS-TP with the following limitations:
CEM
Circuit Emulation (CEM) enables to translate TDM signals to appropriate packet formats
and carry them on a modern packet transport network. Circuit Emulation Service (CES)
cards have one of the most advanced implementations of the circuit emulation function in
the industry today. CES functionality includes structure-agnostic emulation services as
per relevant ITU/IETF/MEF standards. Synchronization information of the packetized TDM
signals is maintained and distributed end-to-end through packet-based methods or
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).
LAG
Link aggregation is a method for using multiple parallel links between a pair of devices as
if it is a single higher-bandwidth channel. Link Aggregation Group (LAG) increases
bandwidth while saving the cost of upgrading the hardware by allowing to combine
several interfaces into one logical link. LAGs also enable bandwidths beyond the port limit
by aggregating multiple physical ports. Static and Dynamic LAG are supported in
Distribution mode and Protection mode across all member ports.
Dynamic LAG traffic is stopped when warm reboot is applied to the node.
Policer does not work with Distributed LAG.

Ethernet features
CFM monitors Ethernet links and services to locate and debug any faults in the network
or service. CFM comprises of Continuity Check Message (CCM) ensuring MEP-based fault
detection and discovering other MEPs within a domain. MEPs can be configured at the
port or FlowPoint level.
NOTE: LBM and LTM fails if UNI has MEP and NNI has MIP in same the EVC.
LBM, LTM, Y.1731 (Up MEP), and SLM are not supported in TJ1400-1.
NOTE: Asymmetrical and 802.1AD UNI is not supported for Y.1731 (Up MEP).
LLDP
Link Layer Discover Protocol (LLDP) is a neighbor discovery protocol that is used for
network devices to advertise information about themselves to other devices on the
network. LLDP is supported on Ethernet ports for the discovery of neighboring devices.
LLDP is supported in accordance with 802.1ab. This protocol supports Packet Trunk
object creation for auto-discovery in the network.
BPDU tunneling
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) configuration is the service-level peering, tunneling,
and discarding of BPDU packets. Based on the service type, BPDU configuration is
profiled into the following types:
23

TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
FDB entries
The MAC addresses learned in the line cards are captured and displayed. The time when
these MAC addresses were learned by the system is also displayed.
ACL
Access Control List (ACL) is a security feature that allows packet filtering based on MAC
addresses or IP addresses for L2 and L3 respectively. ACL is used for filtering traffic
based on a given filtering criteria on a router or switch interface. Based on the conditions
supplied by the ACL, a packet is allowed or blocked from further movement.
ACL permits or denies packets based on the ACE filter rules created for L2 or L3 ACLs. L2
ACL and L3 ACL rules are created separately and are applicable at the service level (per
VLAN) to filter the traffic according to the rules set. The TJ1400 product family supports
up to 256 L2 ACLs and 100 L3 ACLs. Multiple ACE filter rules are supported in each
L2ACL. Multiple IPv4 and IPv6 ACE filter rules are supported in each L3 ACL.
QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of technologies for managing network traffic in a cost-
effective manner to enhance user experiences. QoS technologies allow measuring
bandwidth; detecting changing network conditions, such as congestion or availability of
bandwidth; and prioritize or throttle traffic. Users can identify flows within a Flow Point
and give differential treatment to them from other frames in terms of allowed bandwidth
and egress CoS queue assignment.
Policer determines the number of packets that are allowed into a network. The behavior
of the packets is defined by the following bandwidth profilers: sTCM, srTCM, and trTCM.
Classifier classifies the incoming traffic at the flow point level and the micro flow level.
Security determines whether a packet must be sent or dropped and ensures security.
Security is implemented using ACLs.
Ingress Bandwidth (BW) Profile is a set of parameters that define the allowed rate of
service frame flow for Ingress QoS.
Priority To CoSQ mapping allows the mapping of priority of incoming packets to internal
CoS queues.
EXP To CoSQ mapping allows the mapping of experimental bits of the incoming packet to
the internal CoS queues.
DSCP to CoSQ mapping allows change of CoS values when specified DSCP values are
detected on incoming traffic.

Ethernet features
The scheduler assigns weights to the traffic flows or queues at the CoS level and Flow
Point level. Queues are treated or scheduled based on the weights assigned to them. The
weights determine the ratio in which the packets from the different queues are forwarded
to the next stage.
The shaper restricts the number of packets forwarded at the Flow Point level based on
the CIR, PIR, CBS, and the PBS values defined at the Flow Point.
Implicit Queueing: Every egress port is assigned 8 CoS queues. Packets can be mapped
to specific CoS queues dynamically using DSCP to CoSQ profile. By default, all packets
are mapped to CoSQ-0. The queues can be configured as Strict Priority or WFQ
(Weighted Fair Queueing) using scheduler profiles. Each queue is assigned 1MB of
memory/buffer depth. Queue-level shaper (Two rate) and Port-level shaper (Single rate)
with configurable burst size is supported.
The scheduler assigns weights to the traffic flows or queues at the CoS level, Flow Point
level and tunnel level. Queues are treated or scheduled based on the weights assigned to
them. The weights determine the ratio in which the packets from the different queues are
forwarded to the next stage.
CoSQ To Priority mapping allows the mapping of internal CoS queues to the priority of
the out-going packets.
CosQ to EXP mapping allows the mapping of internal CoS queues to the experimental bits
of the out-going packets.
CoSQ To DSCP mapping allows the mapping of internal CoS queues to the DSCP packets.
The size of the queues for CSC1 card is 6 Gigabytes and the size of the queues for CEF8-
1 card variants and CEF8-2 card is 3 Gigabytes.
Storm Control
Storm control is supported using a flow-policer to block or discard packets that would
otherwise limit the traffic in the network. Storm control is available only for ELAN
services.
CoS-DSCP mapping profile attached on a FlowPoint affects all the FlowPoints on the
same port.
Priority tag is not supported for .1ad.
Traffic mirroring
Port mirroring is a method of copying and sending network packets transmitted as input
from a port to another port of a monitoring computer, switch or device. It is a network
monitoring technique implemented on network switches and similar devices that require
monitoring of the network traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.

TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
HSI
The TJ1400 product family ensures dedicated connections for privileged customers
landing on the ONT UNI. The ONT acts as a Layer 2 device. No configuration is required
on the ONT or the ACS server.
Internet services: Freedom for the end users to have their own choice of switch and
router. The TJ1400 product family provides internet services through bridge mode
with an external router.
Enterprise services: The TJ1400 product family connects two or more offices over
enterprise services. The GPON network acts as a layer2 bridge with untagged, single,
and double tagged VLANs from the customer.
VoIP
VoIP configuration allows setting up the data path for the POTS ME and configurations for
the SIP client, namely, SIP client-IP, SIP server, Proxy, Registrar and Credentials-Phone
number over an ONT Management Control Interface (OMCI) channel. In such ONTs, SIP
client remains under the control of the OMCI domain and TR069/ACS is not able to setup
SIP client configurations (for SIP clients under the control of TR069/ACS, refer to VEIP).
IPTV
IPTV configuration setup is an L2 bridged connection between the GEM port and the
Ethernet port of the ONT, similar to HSI configurations. In addition, it configures
IGMP/MLD parameters on ONTs to support Multicast traffic. An ONT with such a
connection starts snooping IGMP/MLD packets as L2 multicast service switch for the
configured Ethernet port of the ONT (For the OLT side multicast handling, refer to IGMP
snooping and MLD snooping). The remaining Ethernet ports can be used for other
services.
VEIP
VEIP configuration setup is a data path between the GEM and the VEIP of the ONT,
generally in RG-ONTs, and this is used by a non-OMCI domain of the ONT to create a
WAN interface in the ONT, such as PPPOE/IPoE/Bridged with/without-Multicast, are
bound with the respective WAN interface according to the network plan. The WAN
configuration and its binding to the Ethernet/SIP client remains in non-OMCI domain and
are controlled by TR069/ACS or locally from the ONT in the absence of an ACS.
VBES
The TJ1400 product family ensures multiple VLAN connections, each offering similar
services as HSI. While HSI provides dedicated connections for one VLAN, VBES provides
connections for 12 different VLANS. All the VLANs added to a VBES service share the
available bandwidth of the connection.

GPON features
Transparent services
TJ1400 allows untagged, priority tagged, and single tagged traffic. In the upstream
direction, an outer service VLAN tag is added to the untagged, priority tagged, and single
tagged traffic. In the downstream direction, before the traffic reaches the ONT UNI the
outer service VLAN tag is removed from the traffic.
No other service can be created on the ONT ETH port that is used for provisioning
transparent service.
VLAN translation
VLAN translation with swap operation is supported for GPON services in the upstream
and downstream direction. In addition, the P-bit can be retained from the input ONT
traffic or it can be added at OLT.
NOTE: Downstream Bandwidth profile is supported for HSI and VEIP services
and not supported for VBES, VOIP and IPTV services.
OAM
OAM is supported in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.984x GPON standard for all OAM
features between ONTs and OLTs for interoperability.
Automatic switching happens in case of fiber cuts, that is, the traffic automatically
switches to any other available path. Manual switching can be triggered for maintenance
purposes where the traffic is manually shifted to a different path.
NOTE: Type-B protection can be configured only within the same GPON card.
29
TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
PPPoE Intermediate Agent (PPPoE IA) is implemented in the node to help the B-RAS/BNG
identify the access network. The TJ1400 product family supports adding of PPPoE IA
circuit ID and remote ID to the PPPoE packets from the client so that the server knows
from which intermediate node the packets are sent. These IDs represent vendor-specific
tags.
NOTE: PPPoE + DHCP relay services cannot co-exist on the same OLT.
DHCP snooping
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server
to automatically assign an IP address to a network device from a defined range if
numbers configured for that network.
The TJ1400 product family supports DHCP snooping on services (for DHCPv4 and
DHCPv6). DHCP Snooping is a security feature that prevents untrusted DHCP servers
from providing IP address to DHCP clients.
DHCP relay
The TJ1400 product family supports DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 L2 relay and user can
configure the values or use default values. DHCP relay is where a switch or router called
the DHCP relay agent in a local network relays messages between DHCP clients within
the local network and the DHCP server.
The TJ1400 product family also supports adding of circuit ID and remote ID to the DHCP
packets from the client so that the server knows from which nodes the packets are sent.
These IDs represent vendor-specific tags. Both the circuit ID and the remote ID have
default values. These IDs can also be configured.

GPON features
IGMP snooping
In Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), a multicast router sends IGMP queries to
all its IGMP-enabled ports. A host interested in a particular multicast traffic (a particular
IP TV Channel or a multicast stream) sends an IGMP Join message for that multicast
group. To stop receiving traffic from a multicast group, the host send an IGMP Leave
message. The Join and Leave messages for a multicast group are forwarded only to
router ports. The multicast traffic for a multicast group is forwarded from the router
ports.
In a typical network there may be multiple switches present between a host and a
multicast router. If a switch does not understand multicast, then it broadcasts the
multicast traffic to all ports in its collision domain (VLAN) adding unnecessary load on the
network. Moreover, all the hosts in the network receive unwanted multicast traffic, which
adds extra load on their network interface cards.
The TJ1400 product family supports IGMP Snooping at per service level. The multicast
MAC entries are populated on the topmost VLAN tag. In 802.1Q mode, the entries are on
a customer tag. In 802.1ad mode, the multicast MAC learning entries are on the service
tag. IGMP service is not supported for a range of VLAN tags.
MLD snooping
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is used in IPv6 networks for discovering multicast
listeners similar to IGMP in IPv4. MLD protocol enables routers to discover the nodes
configured to receive multicast data packets. These nodes are called multicast listeners.
MLD uses Listener Query and Listener Report messages to determine multicast listeners.
The TJ1400 product family supports MLD snooping for IPv6 multicast to limit the flooding
of multicast traffic. MLD snooping is done by dynamically configuring L2 interfaces,
thereby ensuring that the multicast traffic is forwarded to only those interfaces
associated with an IP multicast address.
The CEF8-1, CEF8-1 ET, and CEF8-1-i7 cards in TJ1400-7 and the CEF8-1 card in
TJ1400-13 support MLD. The CSC1 card in TJ1400-18 does not support MLD.
31
TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
MVR
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) supports efficient distribution of IPTV multicast
streams across an Ethernet ring-based L2 network. MVR is not supported on .1AD source
ports. MVR over ERPS is only supported when a range of VLANs is enabled.
The CEF8-1, CEF8-1 ET, and CEF8-1-i7 cards in TJ1400-7 and the CEF8-1 card in
TJ1400-13 support MVR. The CSC1 card in TJ1400-18 does not support MVR.
ONT management
The TJ1400 family supports pre-provisioning of ONTs. With the ONT authentication using
serial number, ONT images can be created in the node. Further, services can be
provisioned on these ONTs even before the ONTs are activated. The ONTS can then be
activated when connected to the network.
With this product family, users can view ONTs by serial number that is a combination of
vendor ID and a unique number. Users can also see any duplicate ONTs. ONTs that share
the same serial number and are connected to more than port are classified as duplicate
ONTs.
The TJ1400 product family provides a Rogue ONT Detection mechanism. A rogue ONT is
one that permanently transmits, that is, it transmits data during its allotted bandwidth
and during the bandwidth of the other ONTs in the network. This rogue ONT may be an
inactive ONT that transmits noise the entire time or may be an active ONT that transmits
correct data during its designated transmission time and then transmits noise during the
rest of the time. Such an ONT interferes with the upstream transmissions of the other
ONTs in the network. The only way to stop this rogue ONT is by physically shutting it
down.
The TJ1400 product family supports ONT management through IP Host configuration.
Note: The ONT IP Host configuration is not supported on all ONTs. For further
information, refer to the corresponding ONT documentation.
With this product family, users can create ONT WAN service using ONT WAN
Configuration from the OLT GUI.
The TJ1400 product family supports ONT Wifi Configuration from the software user
interface using OMCI. The ONT Wi-Fi configuration allows to enable /disable the ONT
SSID and also allows to change the SSID name/SSID password.
ToD
TJ1400 product family allows sending Time of Day (ToD) from OLT to ONTs connected to
the ports. When the ToD feature is enabled at a port, ToD from the configured PTP profile
is sent to the ONT.

System
System
This chapter summarizes the prominent system features supported by the TJ1400
product family.
DST
TJ1400 product family automatically detects Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes and
appropriately switches the node time between standard time and DST.
ZTP
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) offers automatic initialization of a node. Unlike the usual
procedure that required manual involvement to commission a node, with ZTP the node is
initialized and assigned an IP address with the help of a file that includes the values of
the essential node parameters, such as the VLAN range, DCN mode, and port type.
SNMP
SNMP is an application-layer protocol that allows network devices to exchange
management information. SNMP is used to monitor networks and change settings and
configurations within networks.
The TJ1400 product family supports SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 for better network
management.
1588v2 PTP
1588v2 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) enables sub-microsecond synchronization of
clocks by having a grandmaster clock propagate IPv4 unicast or multicast
synchronization messages containing timestamps. All 1588-technology-aware receivers
correct their local time based on the received timestamp and estimate the one-way delay
from transmitter to receiver. 1588v2 provides time, phase, and frequency
synchronization.
33
TJ1400 Product Family 10.x Feature Description Guide v4.1
A grandmaster clock generator in the 1588v2 network serves as the primary clock
reference for the rest of the PTP elements. 1588v2 can distribute synchronization without
the need for multiple GPS equipment or precision oscillators on the equipment. 1588v2
does not operate at the physical layer, hence some of the legacy networks can be
transparent to 1588v2 packets. 1588v2 supports wall-clock synchronization. Wall clock
synchronization is needed for applications that require the time of the day such as billing,
troubleshooting, and cell multiplexing.
1588v2 Grand Master (GM) is embedded in IP/MPLS cloud and OLT receives 1588v2
messages over SNI interface. OLT terminates 1588v2 messages, recovers time/phase
(using 1588v2 OC-slave clock function) and hands over this to PON interface. The
synchronization over PON interface is implemented using mechanism described in PON
standard: G.984.3 Amendment 2. ONT recovers synchronization information over PON
based on above mechanism and hands-over to base stations eNodeB (eNB).
The TJ1400 product family supports synchronization from any of the received optical
GigE interfaces terminated on the chassis. It can derive synchronization from external
clock sources like BITS.

Security
Security
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is supported for communication
between RADIUS clients on remote nodes and a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server
provides centralized Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services. When
RADIUS setting is enabled on the node, the node uses the authentication details
configured on a remote server rather than the authentication details present on the node.
TACACS+
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) client support
provides centralized security for the validation of users accessing the TJ1400 product
family. TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system while still retaining
consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes. It ensures network security
through encrypted protocol exchanges between the device and TACACS+ server.
TACACS+ provides authentication during login and through user names and user-defined
passwords.
