Chapter 4 Network Design

The S3100 series can be flexibly deployed in networks. They can be used in enterprise

networks, or serve as broadband access points. The following examples are three

typical networks using the S3100 series.

4.1 MAN Access Solution

In a metropolitan area network (MAN), the S3100 series can serve as access devices.

In the downlink direction, they directly connect to users through 100 Mbps interfaces;

and in the uplink direction, they connect to an aggregation layer (Layer 3) switches or

MA5200 intelligent service gateways, which further connect to the core of the MAN

through routers. This provides you a comprehensive gigabit-to-backbone

100-Mbps-to-desktop MAN solution.

4.2 Education Network Solution

In a campus network, the S3100 series can serve as desktop switching devices at the

access layer. They directly connect to users in education buildings through 100 Mbps

downlink interfaces; and connect to the core switch in the campus through a 1000 Mbps

uplink interface; the core switch further connects to the education network through a

router. This enables the users in the campus to exchange information and share

resources in the scope of the education network.

4.3 Multi-Service Carrier VLAN Solution

With development of various application technologies, enterprise users are

increasingly relying on network services. They hope the networks can offer secure,

reliable leased lines, VOIP and video conference services, thus reducing their

operating costs. Additionally, apart from simple Internet surfing, individual users expect

more abundant services from the networks, e.g., IPTV, video chatting, real-time gaming,

etc. Meanwhile, construction of the NGN/3G carrier network will draw huge attention of

carriers. If NGN/3G services can be carried on the broadband access network, the

costs of the entire network solution can be lowered dramatically.

To carry such services with different QOS requirements, the broadband access network

needs to have effective service identification and isolation capacity. VLAN is the best

service identification and isolation technology at present, and is the basis for

multi-service deployment. As broadband users increase explosively and services

appear continuously, however, the traditional VLAN technology cannot meet the

requirements of service deployments. In this situation, QinQ, VLAN mapping, etc

become new choices.

The figure below shows a typical application: The IPTV service requires that the

DSLAM be moved downwards into the campus to enhance users’ access bandwidth.

S3100 acts as the DSLAM convergence switch. Selective QinQ is configured on the

device, with the service VLAN identifying the DSLAM or the campus position and the

customer VLAN identifying the customer. In this way, carriers can implement uniform

planning and precise management: VLAN layout is simple, and is not affected by the

customer side.

Another more complicated configuration example is when the LAN is connected to

dense Home Gateways (HG). Generally, the ex-factory setting of an HG is simple as it

uses a fixed VLAN tag to identify the attached service type (data service, IPTV, etc).

Thus, precise division and management for users and services can be implemented.

And VLAN mapping is then implemented on the access device S3100. In this way,

respective service VLANs are “translated” into the VLANs that comply with the carrier’s

deployment. In addition, QinQ is used on the upstream device to identify the campus

position. Such uniform configuration implements carriers’ precise PUPSPV (respective

users and respective services use their own VLANs) management.
