6.1.1 HVLANs (iMAP 9000 Devices Only)
For iMAP 9000 devices, a VLAN can be designated as an HVLAN. This VLAN is part of the double-tagging feature, in which
an additional or outer tag can be added on top of the 802.1q tagged or untagged frame. At the subscriber port, incoming cus-
tomer frames are wrapped with an outer tag and this tag is used to switch the traffic across the network. At the SM port for the
outgoing traffic, the outer tag is removed and the frame is delivered to the customer’s VLAN. Using this outer tag, service pro-
viders can tunnel the VLANS of each customer into a single VLAN (the VLAN ID of the outer tag) and send them across the
network.
To create an HVLAN, select the device and right click Provision -> Configure VLAN. This brings up the Chassis View which
include the VLAN configuration. Select the Create button, and in the Create New VLAN window the Type HVLAN can be
selected. Refer to Figure 6-1.

Software Upgrade support for
EPSR and EPSR+
During upgrade of iMAP devices, nodes are
updated in proper order to keep the EPSR ring
in-service. If other nodes need to be added to
upgrade sequence, GUIs appear.
If EPSR had not been configured
correctly, a GUI with an error
message appears. Refer to 6.20.
Diagnostic Audit
Provides the capability to run diagnostic
audits on certain network entities. Cur-
rently, the auditable entities are:
• Network VLANs
• CES Circuits
Refer to 6.21.
Port Authentication Refer to 6.22.
a. VLAN Translations may be needed when configuring the VLANs on the iMG6x6MOD. This involves interaction
between the iMG and Port Profiles. Refer to 7.9.3
