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.
