JDSU C4000 ESAM Enterprise Services Application Module

Today’s Information technology (IT) networks are more complex than ever with Voice over Internet Protocol (IP), IP security cameras, presence, and remote applications being run over high-speed copper, fiber and wireless infrastructure. Complexity
that was once confined to the data center is now finding its way closer and closer to the user causing the front-line IT technician to need to resolve a far greater range of faults than ever before. With even minor network faults having the potential to render employees unproductive, keeping the network up is now a mission-critical task. The ESAM addresses these challenges of modern networks with a modern approach.

Through its intuitive workflow-based user interface the Enterprise Services Application Module (ESAM) for the JDSU T-BERD/MTS-4000 modular platform provides users with physical media tests including speed-certification of electrical Ethernet cabling, network connectivity tests, discovery, wire-speed deep-packet statistics, and wire-speed protocol capture and expert analysis using unique, in-depth JDSU J-Mentor capabilities.

Test connectivity is obtained either electrically via a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Ethernet jack or via an SFP for optical Ethernet.

Physical Media Tests
All the features of the JDSU Validator line Ethernet speed certifier are included in the ESAM. After loading the job onto the ESAM, the technician can run auto-tests for wiremap, length, signal-to-noise ratio, skew, and bit error rate tests using standard and user-defined cable types. Passing these tests ensures that the cable can support 1000BASE-T. All of the auto tests can also be performed manually as can tone generation and ID-only mapping.

Network Connectivity Tests
Once the physical media has been tested and confirmed to support Ethernet, the technician can test for connectivity to active Ethernet devices on a single drop. If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supplied, the pins, voltage, and current can be checked to ensure it matches the requirements of the powered device. Port discovery will confirm that the Ethernet interface is advertising the correct speed and duplex options, avoiding optional duplex-mismatch issues. The next connectivity test will attempt to obtain an IP address using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) (static configuration is also possible). Duplicate IP addresses will be flagged to the user’s attention. Once an IP configuration is obtained, the ESAM can perform Ping, TraceRoute, and Domain Name System (DNS) connectivity tests to ensure connectivity to various network devices. Firewalls can also be tested by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connectivity tests to verify that particular TCP/UDP ports are open or blocked. If Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and/or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) are used in the network, the analyzer can read these messages and report them to the user. If issues are observed during many of the connectivity tests, the technician can chose to view a capture of all frames sent and received for that specific test allowing in-depth root-cause analysis.

Network Discovery
Once the technician has confirmed basic connectivity to the network, they may have the need to discover what devices are on the network. Using active and passive discovery methods from an individual Ethernet drop, the technician can discovery a wide range of devices both within the users subnetwork and beyond. Presented with a graphical view of the discovered devices, the technician can drill into details about specific network elements. By configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) password strings, network devices can be queried and the various details can be viewed by the technician. Any obvious problems in the network will be highlighted to the user.

Once the user drills into details about a specific element they can view details such as MAC/IP addresses. If SNMP is enabled on the network additional information such as interface utilization, packet rates, and errors can be viewed.

Network Statistics
By connecting to an Ethernet aggregating Test Access Port (TAP) or switch mirror port, the analyzer can gather statistics at full line speed. Utilization statistics can be viewed by link, VLAN, and Subnetwork. Link utilization can be viewed and broken down by unicast, broadcast, multicast, and errored frames. Protocol distribution on the link can be viewed allowing to user to identify what protocols are consuming link capacity. Top-talkers on the link will be identified to the user. Pre-defined and user defined wire-speed packet/byte counters allow the user to view statistics by specific protocols and events.

Packet Capture and Expert Analysis
Hardware-based packet capture ensures that all frames are captured – even at sustained full gigabit line rate. The 1 Gigabyte capture buffer allows for a large amount of data to be captured. Captured traffic is stored in packet capture (PCAP) format and can be analyzed with Wireshark – both on and off the tester. Pre-capture filters and triggers can be applied to ensure that the correct frames are captured at the correct time. Expert analysis via J-Mentor reduces the need to be an expert in analyzing captured data.

Applications:

•  Perform all-in-one enterprise testing: verify that copper cables support gigabit Ethernet, test network connectivity (from Ethernet interface discovery to Layer 4 Port connectivity), discover network devices both on and off the subnet, collect statistics and analyze network utilization/traffic patterns, and perform wirespeed capture on gigabit Ethernet links
• Speed certify electrical Ethernet up to 1000BASE-T
• Isolate and resolve Ethernet or IP problems in the field using unique, in-depth JDSU J-Mentor capture and decode capabilities

Features:

• Provides Layer 1-7 protocol capture and expert analysis
• Offers wirespeed deep packet statistics and analysis
• Tests network connectivity
• Performs network discovery
• Conducts a full range of physical media tests
