On the network shown in Figure 3-43, services with the same VLAN ID from User A1 and User A2 are received/transmitted by different ports on NE1. NE1 transmits the services to NE4, which then aggregates them and transmits them to User A3.
- Services from User A1 are received/transmitted by the 4-EM6F-3 port on NE1; services from User A2 are received/transmitted by the 4-EM6F-4 port on NE1; services from User A3 are received/transmitted by the 4-EM6F-3 port on NE4.
- Services between User A1 and User A3 are data services, of which the VLAN ID is 100, CIR is 30 Mbit/s, and PIR is 50 Mbit/s.
- Services between User A2 and User A3 are data services, of which the VLAN ID is 100, CIR is 30 Mbit/s, and PIR is 50 Mbit/s.
- Services between User A1/User A2 and User A3 are carried by PWs. E-Line services are configured on NE1, and E-LAN services are configured on NE4.
- Services between User A1/User A2 and User A3 are protected by tunnel APS.
- The working path is NE1-NE2-NE4.
- The protection path is NE1-NE3-NE4.
- This topic considers the OptiX OSN 550 as an example to describe the board layout. In the case of other products, the configuration method is the same, except for the slots. For the slot information, see the Hardware Description of the relevant product.
- On a live data network, an Ethernet service is added to the source NE, passed through the transit NEs, and dropped from the sink NE. Follow instructions in Configuring Transit NEs for Ethernet Services Carried by PWs to configure transit NEs for the Ethernet services carried by PWs.
The method for configuring services from User A2 to User A3 is the same as that for configuring services from User A1 to User A3. When planning and configuring services from User A2 to User A3, follow instructions in sections that describe how to plan and configure services from User A1 to User A3.

Related Task
Follow instructions in Verifying the Composite Service Consisting of E-Line and E-LAN Services to check whether the composite service is configured correctly.
Verifying the Composite Service Consisting of E-Line and E-LAN Services
You can check whether packet loss has occurred in an Ethernet packet service by looping back the service at one end and testing packet loss with a SmartBits at the other end.
Prerequisites
- You are an NM user with Administrators rights or higher.
- Ethernet services have been configured. For details on how to configure Ethernet services, see Configuring ETH PWE3 Services in the Configuration Guide (Packet Transport Domain).
Connection Diagram for the Test
Figure 3-44 shows a connection diagram for testing packet Ethernet services.
Precautions
- Keep irrelevant personnel away from the testing environment during a test.
- Do not touch fibers, electrical wires, or cables unless necessary.
Procedure
- According to the test connection diagram, connect the SmartBits to the Ethernet port on NE2.
- Log in to the U2000. Follow instructions in Enabling NE Performance Monitoring to enable 15-minute and 24-hour performance monitoring for NE1 and NE2.
NOTE:
Performance monitoring needs to be enabled in case that a fault detected in the test can be located. - Log in to the U2000 and set a MAC-layer inloop for the Ethernet port on NE1.
- In the Workbench view, double-click Main Topology to display the main topology.
- Right-click the NE to be looped back on the Main Topology of the U2000, and choose NE Explorer from the shortcut menu.
- Select the Ethernet board to be looped back, and choose from the Function Tree.
- Select Advanced Attributes.
- In the list, select an Ethernet interface, and then double-click PHY Loopback or MAC Loopback to select a loopback mode.
- Click Query. After the Prompt dialog box is displayed, click OK.
- After the Operation Result dialog box is displayed, click Close.
- Use the SmartBits to perform tests on packet receiving and transmission.
NOTE:
- Packets with all 0s are regarded as special packets. Therefore, do not use packets of all 0s for testing transmitted and received packets.
- When the SmartBits transmits and receives packets for the first time, packet loss occurs due to MAC address learning. Therefore, it is normal that the number of transmitted packets is different from the number of received packets.
- In the tests after the first time, if the number of transmitted packets is the same as the number of received packets, the cross-domain service channels are normal.
- If packet loss occurs during the tests, troubleshoot the fault and then perform 24-hour tests until the channels pass the tests.
