Guaranteed Upstream Bandwidth |
Specifies the upstream bandwidth for the GEM port. The value should be multiple of 512 and cannot exceed 2.5 Gbps. The value is in the unit of kbps. |
Class |
Specifies the upstream traffic class value. Values: cbr: Constant Bit Rate. The CBR class of traffic is used by connections that require a constant and guaranteed cell rate during the lifetime of the connection. The sampling time for CBR is constant, with no delay. Cells exceeding the provisioned PCR rate are discarded. CBR would be appropriate for real-time application, such as voice and video applications. ubr: Unspecified Bit Rate. The UBR class of traffic does not specify traffic-related guarantees. No numerical commitments are made with respect to the cell loss ratio (CLR) experienced by the connection, or the cell transfer delay (CTD) experienced by the cells. With UBR service, the available bandwidth is fairly distributed to the active UBR subscribers. UBR would be appropriate for delay-tolerant or non-real-time applications, such as data application. |
Compensated |
CBR compensation mode. Sometimes CBR access will be skipped after OLT and ONU exchanged GPON OAM messages. If you select true in compensated mode, CBR access can be compensated immediately after exchange the GPON OAM messages to prevent possible jitter of the CBR channel. Values: false true |
Shared |
Allows GEM ports to share upstream bandwidth. The system supports up to 384 DBA Alloc-Ids per GPON physical port, and 768 Alloc-Ids per GPON physical port (including static and DBA). Multiple GEM ports can share a single Alloc-Id if:
Values: false true |
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation |

Fixed Upstream UBR Bandwidth(kB) |
Fixed UBR bandwidth used when DBA is enabled. The minimum values of Fixed Ubr bandwidth can be 0 or 128 Kbps. The maximum value is 1,048,576 Kbps. Only multiples of 64 Kbps are allowed. Default: 0 |
Fixed Upstream CBR Bandwidth(kB) |
Fixed CBR bandwidth used when DBA is enabled. The minimum value of Fixed Cbr bandwidth can be 0 or 512 Kbps. The maximum value is 454,208 Kbps. Only multiples of 64 Kbps are allowed. Default: 0 |
Assured Upstream Bandwidth(kB) |
DBA Assured bandwidth will be allocated when traffic demand exists. The minimum value of Assured bandwidth can be 0 or 256 Kbps. The maximum value is 1,048,576 Kbps. Only multiples of 64 Kbps are allowed. Default: 0 |
Maximum Upstream Bandwidth(kB) |
Use this parameter to indicate the amount of non-guaranteed bandwidth configured for the traffic profile. The non-guaranteed class of service can be either nonassured or besteffort type of service, which is specified in the Extra Upstream Bandwidth Type field. The value of the non-guaranteed bandwidth can be computed using the configured value in this parameter minus the sum of the Fixed Upstream UBR BandwidthFixed Upstream CBR Bandwidth and Assured Upstream Bandwidth The configured value in this parameter has to be greater than or equal to sum of the Fixed Upstream UBR BandwidthFixed Upstream CBR Bandwidth and Assured Upstream Bandwidth If the configured value is equal to the sum of the Fixed Upstream UBR Bandwidth Fixed Upstream CBR Bandwidth Assured Upstream Bandwidth, then no bandwidth is assigned to non-guaranteed type of service. The maximum value is 1,048,576 Kbps. Only multiples of 64 Kbps are allowed. Default: 0 |
Extra Upstream Bandwidth Type |
The priority type of non-guaranteed bandwidth. Default: nonassured Values: nonassured Nonassured has higher priority for getting unused bandwidth than besteffort. besteffort Besteffort has the lowest priority. |

Downlink 802.1Q: A downlink bridge is used in conjunction with an uplink bridge. where the uplink bridge is the path upstream to the network, and the downlink bridge is the learning interface facing subscribers. Traffic coming into this interface is forwarded to the uplink regardless of the destination MAC address. Broadcasts and unicasts (known and unknown) will be sent out the default interface, which is the uplink bridge for the VLAN. Packets entering the system on this interface have their source MAC addresses learned and associated with this interface. Because this interface is not a default, it is required to learn MAC addresses, so that frames from the network that come in on the uplink bridge can be sent to the correct downlink bridge. Broadcasts received on a downlink are sent to the uplink (default) without filtering. Broadcasts will not flow to other downlinks as long as forwardtodefault parameter is set to true. Downlink ports learn MAC addresses. Intralink: An intralink bridge is used in conjunction with an uplink bridge, where the uplink bridge is the path upstream to the network, and the intralink forwards traffic with unknown MAC addresses or multicasts to the configured bridge interface without attempting to learn the addresses of the attached devices or network. Traffic coming into this interface is forwarded to the uplink regardless of the destination MAC address. Broadcasts, multicasts, and unicasts (known and unknown) will be sent out the default interface, which is the uplink bridge for the VLAN. Packets entering the system on this interface will not have their source MAC addresses learned since this interface is not used when a MAC is known. Intralink bridge interfaces require an additional configuration to take effect, which is a bridge-path. The bridge-path sets a default intralink path for either a specific VLAN or a global intralink for the system onto the intralink bridge. If an intralink is missing this configuration, traffic will not flow across the asymmetric VLAN. |
Secured |
Check to activate secure DHCP settings on downlink bridges to prevent users with a statically configured IP address or MAC address from bypassing DHCP security enforcement. This filter blocks users from accessing the network using anything other than valid DHCP offered IP address. When packets are received or sent out a secure downlink bridge interface, TLS subscriber facing bridge interface, or GPON port and VLAN, the system checks the IP address or MAC address against the dynamic IP bridge filter. If a match is found (the address was provided by the DHCP server), the packet is allowed to pass through the filter. Otherwise, it is blocked. For GPON ports, adding secure to one VLAN ID will secure the entire port and all bridges configured on that port with the same VLAN ID. |

VLAN Tagging and Translation
Type |
Untagged, single tagged, or double-tagged. Tagged bridging: Tagged bridges forward traffic based on the logical VLAN ID number. This tagging allows the segregation of a single Ethernet network into multiple virtual network segments. Untagged bridging: Untagged bridges forward traffic based on MAC addresses but do not further segregation traffic. Traffic is broadcast over the Ethernet port and is either accepted or rejected based on the destination MAC address. In other words, there is no VLAN tagging; all ports are learning and forwarding without restriction without broadcast suppression. Forwarding to a default port is not allowed. Double-tagged: Double tagging expands the VLAN space in the Ethernet frame, so that you may further segregate traffic. The packet is differentiated by VLAN ID and SLAN ID. This second tag gives a whole other layer, so you can have VLAN 100 which may be a department in a global organization, and VLAN 100, SLAN 100 be one group within that department. | |||||||||||||||||||
VLAN ID |
The Virtual LAN Identifier for the IP Interface. If the VLAN ID specified is non-zero, all traffic destined to this interface should be configured with this VLAN ID. | |||||||||||||||||||
MVR VLAN ID |
The Multicast Vlan Registration (MVR) VLAN ID. MVR allows video subscribers to share one multicast VLAN in the network while remaining in their own unique VLAN. MVR can send packets received from the multicast headend device on one MVR VLAN to one or more than one subscriber VLAN IDs. | |||||||||||||||||||

VLAN CoS |
Specifies the value loaded into the COS field of the VLAN header when an untagged packet received on this interface is tagged (VLAN ID inserted) for bridging. Value range is 0 to 7. Default is 0. |
S-Tag CoS |

Static Paths
Unicast Aging |
Unicast aging period in tenths of seconds for the specified VLAN. After the specified aging period is met, the VLAN address is deleted from the routing table. A value of 0 indicates that aging is turned off. Maximum value is 2147483647 tenths of seconds, which equates to approximately 2485.51 days. |
Flap Control |
Enables or disables Flap Control in the Bridge Filter Table. Values: Disable: turns Flap Control mode off. Enable applies a hold time of 60 seconds before allowing addr/IP to be moved to a new port. Fast indicates that as a MAC address comes into the system from one source and then is seen from another source, the MAC address table is purged from the first source and replaced with the second source without delay or restriction. If this behavior is not desired, the Flap Mode can be configured to disabled or default. Default: indicates 'Don't Care' and defaults to disabled or enable as set by another entry. |
Loop Prevention |
Bridge loop issue prevention can be configured on both asymmetrical and TLS bridges to resolve certain incorrect MAC address behaviors. BlockAsym: blocks a learning bridge if flap is detected between it and an uplink bridge. Setting this on an an uplink bridge interface on the VLAN ID will block the downlink when incorrect MAC address behavior occurs in a uplink/downlink configuration. When incorrect MAC address behavior involves two downlinks, the bridge interface on the VLAN ID for both downlinks is blocked. BlockAll: incorporates blockAsym but it also blocks a learning bridge if it flaps against another learning bridge. |
