1 EAS2
This topic describes the version, application, functions, working principle,
front panel, and technical specifications of the EAS2 (2-port 10xGE switching
and processing board). This topic also describes how to configure and
commission the EAS2.
Item Description
Functional The EAS2 is available in the following functional versions: N1 and
versions N3.
Differences The N3EAS2 supports the ERPS function.
The maximum number of VCTRUNKs supported by the N1EAS2
differs from that supported by the N3EAS2. In addition, the
VCTRUNK configuration principles for the N1EAS2 also differ
from those for the N3EAS2. For details, see 12.11.3 Functions and
Features.
The N3EAS2 supports a maximum of 4096 link services, whereas
the N1EAS2 supports a maximum of 2048 link services.
The N3EAS2 supports the MPLS function, whereas the N1EAS2
does not.
Substitution None
1.1.2 Application
The EAS2 is used to transmit/receive Ethernet services, manage bandwidths,
and realize Layer 2 switching of Ethernet services.
Figure 12-64 shows the typical networking and application of the Ethernet
switching board. the Ethernet switching board accesses and converges
Ethernet services, and provides the Ethernet data with the following data
features: Layer 2 switching, port isolation, flow classification, traffic control,
VLAN management, and priority configuration. In addition, the Ethernet
switching board performs encapsulation/decapsulation, virtual concatenation,
and SDH mapping/demapping for data. The Ethernet switching board can be
interconnected with the bandwidth access equipment and the data
communication equipment at the same time, thus to provide a network-level
solution.

Table 12-247 lists the throughput specifications of the N1EAS2. Table 12-249
lists the packet loss ratio in the case of overloading of the N1EAS2. Table
12-251 lists the latency specifications of the N1EAS2.
Table 12-248 lists the throughput specifications of the N3EAS2. Table 12-250
lists the packet loss ratio in the case of overloading of the N3EAS2. Table
12-252 lists the latency specifications of the N3EAS2.
The specifications vary according to the configuration and networking of the test
environment and the VC services bound on the VCG side. The specifications that
are obtained in the actual environment are used.
The specifications in the following tables are obtained in the following scenario:
EPL services are configured and 64 VC-4s are bound on the 10xGE port.
The data network performance is measured by using the SmartBits. The
specification values in the following tables are obtained by using the
SmartApplication software of the SmartBits analyzer.
The specific test results depend on the settings on the SmartApplication. The
values listed in the following tables are the values displayed on the SmartBits
analyzer.
In the following tables, the value such as (01,01,01) indicates the equipment No.,
slot No., and port No. "(01,01,01) to (01,01,02)" and "(01,01,02) to (01,01,01)",
however, indicate the forward and reverse tests values, respectively. For details
