Module-8 : Service Attributes :

  • EVC Service Attributes (Defined in MEF 10.2)
    • Fundamentals of enabling the value of Carrier Ethernet:
      • Virtual Connections
      • Bandwidth profiles
      • Class of Service Identification
    • Service Performance
      • Frame Delay (Latency)
      • Inter Frame Delay Variation

Module-9 : Bandwidth Profiles per EVC & per Class of Service : 6 Parameters

  • CIR (Committed Information Rate)
    • CIR defines assured bandwidth
    • Assured via bandwidth reservation, traffic engineering
  • EIR (Excess Information Rate)
    • EIR bandwidth is considered ‘excess’
    • EIR improves the network’s Goodput
    • Traffic dropped at congestion points in the network
  • CBS/EBS (Committed/Excess Burst Size in bytes)
    • Higher burst size results in improved performance

Color Mode (“Color Aware” or “Color Blind”)

  • Green – Forwarded frames – CIR conforming traffic
  • Yellow – Discard Eligible frames – Over CIR , within EIR
  • Red – Discarded frames – Exceeds EIR

Module- 12: preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance

  • Install and support Mobile Switching Centers (MSC) and Cellular Back- Haul (CBH) networks for 1200+ active cellular towers.
  • Understand and perform RFC-2544 and ITU-T Y.1564 circuit testing using network specific test equipment (.e.g. HST3000, T-BERD, FTB-860).
  • Troubleshoot and resolve network problems while complying with outlined service level agreements (SLA's). Work synonymously with business class customers, customer's IT staff, and enterprise NOC's and XOC's to quickly isolate and resolve any metro-E/CBH network issues.

Perform general optical fiber maintenance utilizing fiber optic test equipment including: optical scope, CWDM Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA).

Module-13 : RAMON ( Remote Network Monitoring ) Alarm and event management

Statistics (RMON group 1)— Ethernet statistics (including Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
statistics, depending on the switch type and supported interfaces) on an interface.

  • History (RMON group 2—Collects a history group of statistics on Ethernet ports (including Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet statistics, depending on the switch type and supported interfaces) for a specified polling interval.
  • Alarm (RMON group 3)— management information base (MIB) object for a specified interval, alarm at a specified value (rising threshold), and resets the alarm at another value (falling threshold). Alarms with events; the alarm triggers an event, which can generate a log entry or an SNMP trap.
  • Event (RMON group 9)—Specifies the action to take when an event is triggered by an alarm. The action can be to generate a log entry or an SNMP trap.
  • CLI & SNMP
