Quick Card
T-BERD®/MTS-5800 Network Tester
Ethernet Layer 3 Multicast Traffic Generation
This document outlines how to use the T-BERD 5800 to generate IPv4 Multicast Traffic. A second T-
BERD/MTS 5800 or compatible device should be used at the far-end of the line under test to analyze
the multicast traffic and measure key performance indicators (KPIs). Multicast traffic analysis and
IGMP group membership registration is covered in a separate Quick Card.
Equipment Requirements:
•T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
oBERT software release V27.2 or greater
oC510M1GE Gigabit Ethernet test option
oSFP, QSFP, or CFP4 optical transceiver
to match the line under test
•Patch Cables to match the T-BERD/MTS
optics and the line under test
•Fiber optic inspection microscope (VIAVI
P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
•Fiber Optic Cleaning supplies
Figure 1: Equipment Requirements
The following information is required to complete the test:
•Physical Interface (10/100/1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-LX, 10GBASE-LR, 100GBASE-LR4, etc.)
•Auto Negotiation settings of the port under test
•VLAN ID, if VLAN tagging is used
•IP Address Parameters (DHCP or Static, Source IP, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask)
•Destination Multicast Group IP Address for test traffic.
•Packet size and Transmit rate for test traffic.
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
•All fiber end-faces must be clean and pass
an inspection test prior to connection.
•Use the VIAVI P5000i, FiberChek Probe, or
Sidewinder microscope to inspect both
sides of every connection being used (SFP
Port, bulkhead connectors, patch cords,
etc.)

Connect to Fiber Under Test (FUT):
1. For copper 10/100/1000BASE-T interface
testing with the T-BERD/MTS 5800v2,
connect the Port 1 10/100/1000 RJ-45 jack
to the port under test using CAT 5E or
better cable.
2. For copper 10/100/1000BASE-T interface
testing with the T-BERD/MTS 5800-100G,
insert a copper SFP into the Port 1
SFP+/SFP28 slot and connect to the port
under test using CAT 5E or better cable.

3. For optical interfaces:
•Insert SFP compatible with your
physical interface into the Port 1 slot
on the top of T-BERD.
•Inspect and, if necessary, clean all
fibers and bulkheads, as described on
page 1.
•Connect the SFP to the port under test
using a Single Mode or Multimode
jumper cable compatible with the
interface under test.

Launch and Configure Test:
1. Press the Power button to turn on the test set and view the startup screen.
2. Using the Select Test menu, Quick Launch menu, or Job Manager, launch an Ethernet, Layer 3
Traffic, IPv4, Terminate test on port 1 for the desire physical interface. For example:
Ethernet►10/100/1000►Layer 3 Traffic►IPv4►P1 Terminate.

3. If the test is not in the default settings, tap the Tools icon and select .
Tap and wait for test to reconfigure.
4. Tap the Setup Soft Key to display the Interface settings tab.
5. If you are testing a 10/100/1000 Electrical or 1GigE Optical tests with auto negotiation
disabled, select the Physical Layer tab and configure settings to match the Ethernet port under
test.
6. If the network under test uses VLAN tagging, select the Ethernet settings tab, set Encapsulation
to VLAN, tap [VLAN] and enter your VLAN ID.
7. Select the IP settings tab.
8. Select the desired packet size in the Packet Length (bytes) setting.
9. Select the Source/Destination Addresses field.
a. Enter the Source IP, Default Gateway and Subnet Mask values.
b. Set Destination IP to the desired Multicast Group IP address to transmit traffic to; for
example, 224.0.0.120.
Figure 6: IP Settings
10. Select the Traffic settings tab. Set Load Unit to Bit Rate and set Load to the desired traffic rate
for the Multicast traffic.
11. Tap the Results Soft Key, to view the Results screen.
12. If using the optical test port on T-BERD/MTS press the Laser Off button at the bottom of the
screen to turn on the port laser. The button will turn yellow and be relabeled Laser On.
13. Sync Acquired and Link Active LEDs are green. A green Signal Present LED ● indicates the
T-BERD/MTS is receiving an optical signal from the port under test. Green Sync Acquired and
Link Active LEDs indicate that the T-BERD/MTS has successfully connected to the port under
test and the link is active.
