ETHERNET OVER FIBER
The ETX-220A Carrier Ethernet demarcation device
delivers SLA-based business services to the
customer premises over native Ethernet access.
Transporting up to 10 Gbps of user throughput,
it converges voice and data services over a
unified Ethernet, IP or MPLS network.
The ETX-220A features two 10-Gigabit Ethernet
network ports and a 10-GbE user port
(hardware-ready for 1+1 redundancy). All ports
are SFP+ or XFP compatible.
Hardware-ready for RAD’s SyncToP platform of
synchronization and timing over packet feature
set, the ETX-220A is designed to support
standard technologies, such as 1588v2 Precision
Time Protocol and Synchronous Ethernet. For
further details on the ETX-220A’s SyncToP
capabilities, please refer to page 76.
Hardware-based Ethernet OAM and
performance monitoring for SLA assurance
The ETX-220A combines Ethernet demarcation
with test-head functionalities, featuring a
complete Ethernet OAM suite that includes
Ethernet Link OAM (IEEE standard 802.3-2005,
formerly 802.3ah), Ethernet Service OAM (IEEE
802.1ag) and Performance Monitoring (ITU-T
Y.1731). These are enhanced with a built-in
RFC-2544 test generation engine, as well as
Layer 1, 2 and 3 diagnostic loopback capabilities
with MAC and IP address swap.
Featuring ultra-fast, hardware-based processing
capabilities, the ETX-220A performs OAM and
PM measurements in under 1 microsecond with
maximum precision.
The ETX-220A offers advanced SLA assurance
tools, including user-defined KPI (key
performance indicators) threshold configuration,
real-time SLA violation alerts and per-flow daily
statistics reporting.
Remote provisioning and traffic
management
The ETX-220A features advanced softcore
architecture for efficient handling of multi-
priority traffic on a per-flow basis, with ultra-
high capacity that enables simultaneous
processing of hundreds of service flows. The
device enables multi-criteria traffic classification
as well as metering, policing and shaping to
help carriers rate-limit user traffic according to
pre-defined CIR (committed information rate)
and EIR (excess information rate) profiles.
Enhanced quality of service is further supported
by a hierarchical scheduling mechanism that
combines Strict Priority (SP) and weighted fair
queue (WFQ) scheduling, as well as weighted
random early detection (WRED) policy and color-
sensitive P-bit re-marking packet editing.
Uplink resiliency and protection
The ETX-220A supports dual homing link
redundancy and Link Aggregation (LAG) using
802.3ad LACP. In addition, path protection is
supported with Ethernet Linear Protection
Switching per ITU-T G.8031.
Management and security
The ETX-220A features flexible management
capabilities, including local management via an
ASCII terminal (RS-232). In addition, remote
management can be performed either inband
using the network or user ports, or out-of-band
using a dedicated management port, while
maintaining separation between management
and user traffic via the use of VLANs. Advanced
FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Administration,
Performance, Security) and diagnostic tools are
provided by RADview-EMS, RAD’s carrier-class
element management system, via an SNMP-
based GUI.
The ETX-220A also supports a variety of access
protocols, including CLI over Telnet, SNMP, and
TFTP. Incorporated security features include Secure
Shell (SSH), Web-based Secure Socket Layer (SSL),
SNMPv3, RADIUS and Terminal Access Controller
Access-Control System (TACACS+), as well as
management access control list (ACL).
