1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
This document is valid as of Dragon PTN Release 4.3DR.
This document describes the 4-10G-LW interface module (=IFM) which supports 10 Gigabit
Ethernet according the IEEE 802.3ae-2002 standard. This standard specifies full duplex point-
to-point links. This IFM must be used in core nodes, see Ref. [3b] in Table 1.
This module provides four 10 Gbps optical LAN/WAN ports on the front panel (LAN = Local
Area Network; WAN = Wide Area Network). 4-10G-LW refers to ‘4 ports – 10 Gigabit – LAN
WAN’. These ports are configurable as LAN or WAN (=default) via HiProvision (=Dragon PTN
Management System).
Verify the 'Dragon PTN Bandwidth Overview' manual (Ref. [100] in Table 1) to see in which
node and IFM slot this IFM can be used.
Main supported features:
4 optical ports supporting 10 Gbps Ethernet over fiber via XFPs, full duplex. Which
LAN and WAN XFP modules are supported can be found in Ref. [8] in Table 1.

2.1.2 LEDs
The meaning of the LEDs depends on the mode of operation (= boot or normal) in which the
4-10G-LW module currently is running. After plugging in the module or rebooting it, the
module turns into the boot operation, see Table 2.

After the module has gone through all the cycles in the table below (=rebooted successfully),
the module turns into the normal operation, see LEDs in Table 3.

2.1.3 Connectors
This module has following port:
Port1..4 = Optical Ethernet port, XFP connector: An XFP transceiver (10 Gigabit Small
Form Factor Pluggable) module must be plugged into this port, in order to interconnect
the optical fiber with the 4-10G-LW IFM. These XFPs are hot-pluggable and can be
replaced from the front, without removing the IFM from the node. The ejector clip (see
figure below) must be used to lock/unlock the XFP into/from the IFM. The XFPs that can
be used for this port can be found in Ref. [8] in Table 1.

2.2 Functional Operation

The 4-10G-LW performs following major tasks:

Interface Module PTN-4-10G-LW 7

Release 01 05/2020
2.2.1 Media Module for Ethernet: Interfacing to a LAN or WAN Network
WAN ports interconnect nodes within the Dragon PTN network (MPLS-TP) whereas LAN
ports interconnect the nodes with their applications.
The front ports can be configured individually as LAN or WAN port in HiProvision. By default,
each port is configured as WAN port. A LAN port talks Ethernet and a WAN port talks MPLS-
TP. As a result, the node can serve as an edge node (or LER = Label Edge Router) where
traffic is received on a LAN port, mapped into pseudowire and forwarded to the correct label
switched path on a WAN port.
For a configured application service, the node can operate as a:
LER = Label Edge Router or access node: The node is located on the edge between the
LAN and WAN. The node converts Ethernet into MPLS-TP and vice versa.
LSR = Label Switching Router: The node is fully located in the WAN. The node has no
end-points for the configured application service, it only forwards MPLS-TP traffic via
label switched paths.

2.2.2 Ethernet Service

a. General
The 4-10G-LW IFM access or end-points communicate over the Dragon PTN network via an
Ethernet service. This service must be configured via HiProvision. This service can operate
port or VLAN based. An optional E-Tree can be configured as well on this Ethernet service.

b. Port Based / VLAN Based

Port based: Use this mode if all the traffic on a port must be transported transparently in
one and the same service;
VLAN based/VLAN ID: Use this mode if each VLAN (ID) on a port must have its own
service. Ethernet packets with the configured VLAN ID will be forwarded in this service,
other VLAN IDs and untagged packets will be dropped. This behavior can be overruled by
a more advanced VLAN processing in the ‘VLAN Tagging/Untagging’ feature in
HiProvision. This feature also supports VLAN translation which replaces VLAN ID ‘x’ into
VLAN ID ‘y’.

Release 01 05/2020
c. E-Tree
An E-Tree is a rooted (not routed) point-to-multipoint partial service within a programmed
Ethernet service. E-Tree can be used as a security precaution to separate different customers
(=leafs) using the same Ethernet service while accessing one or more ISPs (=roots).
When an E-Tree is used, each service endpoint is designated as either leaf or root. A leaf can
only communicate with a root. A root can communicate with all the roots and leafs.

NOTE: The 4-10G-LW IFM has one port that can be used as either a LAN or WAN port. For
extra LAN or WAN ports, additional IFMs must be installed.

2.2.3 Voice Service

The 4-10G-LW IFM port can be configured in the Ethernet part of the Voice service. See Ref.
[2Leg] and Ref.[7] in Table 1 for more information on the Voice service.

2.2.4 I/O with the Central Switching Module (=CSM)

The 4-10G-LW module receives traffic (Ethernet or MPLS-TP) via its front panel port and
forwards this to the CSM via the backplane. The CSM does all the processing on this data
(synchronization, CRC checks, conversions, switching…). The resulting data will be
forwarded via the backplane to one of the IFMs in the node.

2.2.5 Synchronization / Clock Distribution / Network Timing

The Dragon PTN network provides a number of mechanisms to perform synchronization /
clock distribution / network timing. The CSM makes sure that all the included IFMs in the
node are synchronized. See the table below for an overview of the mechanisms that are
supported on the 4-10G-LW module.
It means that the front port of the 4-10G-LW module can be used to recover a clock from an
incoming data stream and redistribute this clock via an outgoing datastream.

Table 4 Synchronization / Clock Distribution / Network Timing Overview

Mechanism Domain What is Purpose

Synchronized?
SyncE Network wide Clock Frequency Distribute a synchronous clock, based on a PRC (=Primary
Reference Clock), network wide over all the nodes that need it.
PTP IEEE 1588v2 Network wide Timestamping A protocol to synchronize real-time clocks (timestamping) in
(future) Dragon PTN network elements and/or connected devices.

2.2.7 MPLS-TP Compliancy

See the CSM manual in Ref.[4] in Table 1.

2.2.8 Storm Control on Ethernet LAN Port

NOTE: Storm Control is not relevant/supported on WAN Ports;

A traffic storm is the growing of excessive network traffic due to Ethernet packets flooding
the LAN. Such a storm can for example occur because of a data loop in the network due to
no or misconfiguration of MSTP. These storms degrade the network performance and must
be avoided whenever possible. The storm control feature:
is an extra protection against these traffic storms;
can be configured on the IFM ports;
limits the amount of unlearned received data (Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast) on the LAN
port ingress or input side;
limits the amount of transmitted data (all data) on the LAN port egress or output side;
Data that exceeds the configured limitations will be dropped. As a result, a possible data
storm cannot overload the node processor or the node will limit outgoing data.

See Ref. [2Eth] in Table 1 for more configuration information in HiProvision.

2.2.9 BPDU Guard on Ethernet LAN Port

NOTE: BPDU Guard is not relevant/supported on WAN Ports;

BPDU Guard (=Bridge Protocol Data Unit) is a LAN port property or feature that:
shuts down the LAN port when a BPDU packet enters this port;
sends out dummy BPDU packets.
As a result, this feature or IFM:
protects the network against possible loops created via this IFM, although this IFM does
not support MSTP;
protects a running MSTP protocol somewhere else in the Dragon PTN network from
external MSTP influences via this LAN port, e.g. root bridge protection etc...
See Ref. [2Eth] in Table 1 for more configuration information in HiProvision.

2.2.10 Hardware Edition

The hardware edition of this IFM has been factory set and can not be changed! It can be
read out via HiProvision, see Ref. [2Mgt] in Table 1.
