Accedian Networks Metronid/Metronode 5.X Administration And Configuration

In order to execute a traffic generator test using L2 generic traffic, a loopback will be required at the remote end. A loopback is a testing method that allows the sending of data back to the sending device without it being transmitted over the network. This is necessary to ensure that the traffic generated by the test is properly received and analyzed. A loopback can be achieved by connecting a loopback plug or by configuring a loopback interface on the device.

The correct answer is NID, nid. The traffic shaper is a feature that is only available in the MetroNID product.

By disabling the Auto-Interface feature, the port media selection will no longer change automatically. This means that the port will remain fixed on the selected media type and will not switch to other media types. This can be helpful in situations where you want to ensure that the port stays consistent and does not change unexpectedly.

The correct answer is S-VLAN and C-VLAN. VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network, which is used to divide a physical network into multiple logical networks. S-VLAN (Service VLAN) is a type of VLAN used in service provider networks to separate customer traffic. C-VLAN (Customer VLAN) is a type of VLAN used in Ethernet networks to separate traffic within a customer's network. Therefore, S-VLAN and C-VLAN are two different types of VLANs used for different purposes.

The main purpose of a filter is to identify a specific type of traffic. Filters are used in various systems, such as network routers and firewalls, to selectively allow or block certain types of data packets based on predefined criteria. By identifying and filtering specific types of traffic, network administrators can manage and control the flow of data within a network, ensuring that only authorized and desired traffic is allowed to pass through. This helps in enhancing network security, optimizing network performance, and prioritizing certain types of traffic over others.

The correct answer is "aggregation" mode. In this mode, the MetroNID TE can combine or aggregate multiple services into a single connection, allowing you to provide two port based services to the customer using only one demarcation device. The terms "agregator" and "aggregator" are likely just variations or misspellings of the word "aggregation" and do not provide any additional explanation.

The correct answer is "push". In this scenario, the user wants to create an EPL service using the Accedian NIDs at the customer location. To achieve this, they plan to use a catch-all filter and apply it to a policy on the client port. By setting the EVC mapping to "push", they will be able to accomplish this task successfully.

A regulator can be used to measure the traffic rate. This means that it can be used to monitor and analyze the amount of traffic passing through a particular network or system. By measuring the traffic rate, a regulator can provide valuable insights into the performance and efficiency of the network, allowing for better optimization and troubleshooting. Additionally, this information can be used for capacity planning and resource allocation purposes.

To obtain one-way delay measurements, it is crucial for the units involved in the measurement process to be synchronized. This synchronization ensures that the timekeeping between the units is consistent, allowing for accurate measurement of the delay in one direction. Without synchronization, the measurements may be unreliable and inconsistent. Therefore, synchronization is a necessary requirement for obtaining accurate one-way delay measurements.

A filter can be used in both a policy and a loopback. In a policy, a filter is used to define conditions for allowing or denying certain traffic. It helps in controlling the flow of data. On the other hand, in a loopback, a filter is used to block or allow specific IP addresses or ports. It helps in securing the network by filtering unwanted traffic. Therefore, both options A and B are correct as a filter can be used in both a policy and a loopback.

There are two flows available in the traffic generator.

G.8032 version 2 is the standard used when creating a ring using Accedian MetroNODEs.

To have PAA (Protocol Adaption Agent) sessions associate without using the index method, it is necessary for them to have the same name. This means that the sessions must be identified by the same name in order to establish an association. The other options provided, such as being in the same network or configuring them using CLI, are not mentioned as requirements for the association of PAA sessions in this context.

The appropriate MEG level to use when configuring the end-points of an Ethernet EVC with client locations at both ends would be 6-7. This level indicates that the EVC is being used for end-to-end service and is fully transparent to the client. The MEG level 6-7 allows for the highest level of service and ensures that the client's traffic is being transported without any modifications or limitations.

0x88a8 and 0x9100 are S-VLAN Ether types.

The RFC2544 test suite was not specifically designed to test Carrier Ethernet Networks. While it can be used to test various network protocols and technologies, it is not exclusively focused on Carrier Ethernet Networks.

The correct answer is 100. This means that a MetroNID can configure up to 100 PAA sessions. PAA sessions refer to the number of Priority Access Assignments that can be set up in the MetroNID device. These assignments allow for prioritization of network traffic, ensuring that certain data or services receive higher priority over others. Having the ability to configure 100 PAA sessions indicates a high level of flexibility and customization in managing network traffic within the MetroNID device.

When using PAA (Performance Assurance Agent), the available KPIs include delay (one way and two way), delay variation, packet loss, and continuity. These KPIs provide insights into the performance and quality of the network. Through measuring delay, delay variation, and packet loss, it is possible to assess the latency and reliability of data transmission. Additionally, continuity KPI helps to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. Therefore, these KPIs collectively offer a comprehensive understanding of the network's availability and performance.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is the correct answer for this question. When testing a Layer 3 network using RFC2544, traffic generator, and Y.1564 testing, UDP is commonly used as the traffic type. UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not provide reliable delivery of data, making it suitable for generating traffic in network testing scenarios. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable and ordered delivery of data, so it is not typically used for generating test traffic. "All the above can be used" is not the correct answer as TCP is not commonly used in this context.

The CBS (Committed Burst Size) of a MetroNID with firmware version 5.5 is 500 KB.
