Chapter 5 Ethernet TE Testing
Specifying the network setup
SmartClass TPS User’s Guide
May 2014 22035456, Rev 001 43
The following table describes the settings.
Setting Description
Data Mode Select the data mode.
IPoE is IP over Ethernet
PPPoE is PPP over Ethernet
Multi-VLAN is multiple VLAN; multiple Virtual LANs are used on this net-
work. In this mode, the SmartClass Triple Play Services assumes that the
networks that are accessed via each VLAN are unique, and thus provides
access to a different range of IP addresses. A typical scenario would be
one VLAN for Internet data, another VLAN for Voice, and another VLAN for
Video.
IPv6oE is IPv6 over Ethernet.
To review the basic differences in IPv4 vs. IPv6, see “About data testing” on
page 62
IPv6 Multi-VLAN is multiple VLAN over IPv6 (up to 3 VLANs).
Interface Count If Multi-VLAN Data Mode is used, specify the number of VLAN interfaces,
up to three.
VLAN x Setup (or
IPv6 VLANx Setup)
If Multi-VLAN Data Mode is used, specify the settings for each LAN. On this
menu, the Client Mode specifies the data mode for the VLAN. Other setup
items appear depending on the Client (Data) Mode (such as Use DHCP
Vendor ID, or Username and Password). You must also define a purpose
for IPv4 VLANs 2 and 3
(Internet, Video, or Voice).
MAC Addr. Mode If IPoE or PPPoE Data Mode is used, specify whether the MAC is the fac-
tory default or user defined.
VLAN If IPoE or PPPoE Data Mode is used, specify whether VLANs are used.
VLAN ID If VLAN is On, specify the VLAN ID.
VLAN Priority If VLAN is On, specify the VLAN Priority.
IP Mode (IPv4) If IPoE Data Mode is used, select either Static or DHCP (dynamic host
configuration protocol) mode.
IP Addr. (IPv4) If the IP Mode is Static, enter the IP address that the tester will use.
IP Netmask (IPv4) If the IP Mode is Static, enter the net mask address.
Gateway (IPv4) If the IP Mode is Static, enter the gateway address.
DNS Server If the IP Mode is Static enter the address of the DNS server.
Use DHCP Vendor ID Select Yes or No to whether to use the vendor ID.
This is only available if you selected DHCP as the “IP Mode”.
DHCP Vendor ID Enter the Vendor ID.
This is required if you selected Yes for “Use DHCP Vendor ID.”
Use User Class Select Yes or No to whether to use the User Class.
This is only available if you selected DHCP as the “IP Mode”.
DHCP User Class Enter the User Class.
This is required if you selected Yes for “Use User Class.”
IPv6 Mode If IPv6oE Data Mode is used, select DHCPv6 (stateful configuration per
RFC 3315) Stateless (auto-configuration per RFC 2462), or Manual mode.
DHCPv6 Option If using IPv6oE and the mode is DHCP, specify whether IA PD (prefix dele-
gation) is used.
