T-BERD®/MTS-5800 Network Tester
Ethernet J-Profiler VLAN Analysis
This document outlines how to use the T-BERD/MTS-5800 J-Profiler application to analyze live network
traffic for bandwidth utilization (top talker analysis) by VLAN ID. J-Profiler can be used on Ethernet
active Switch ports or SPAN (Switch Port Analyzer) ports. A SPAN port is a spare switch port
configured to transmit a copy of the packets sent or received on another switch port. It allows the T-
BERD to receive all network traffic from a given port, without being physically attached to that port.
Bidirectional Traffic can be transmitted to the T-BERD using a single port.
Equipment Requirements:
•T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
oBERT software release V28.0 or greater
oEthernet test options:
▪C510M1GE
▪C5JPROFILER
oSFP optical transceiver to match the line
under test
•Patch Cables to match the optical
transceiver and line under test (CAT5E,
Single mode or Multimode Fiber)
•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, etc.)
•Auto Negotiation settings of the port under test
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/QSFP Port, bulkhead connectors,
patch cables, etc.)

Connect to Port under Test:
•For copper 10/100/1000BASE-T interfaces
on the T-BERD 5800v2, use CAT 5E or
better cable to connect the T-BERD’s Port 1
RJ-45 port to the port under test.
•For copper 10/100/1000BASE-T interfaces
on the T-BERD 5800-100G, use CAT 5E or
better cable to connect the T-BERD’s Port 2
RJ-45 port to the port under test.
•For optical interfaces, insert the required
SFP into the Port 1 slot on the T-BERD and
connect the T-BERD’s SFP to the SFP in the
port under test. Use yellow Single mode
patch cables with Single Mode optics; use
orange or teal Multimode fiber patch
cables with multimode optics.
Launch 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 a J-Profiler

Packet Capture/Decode:
1. If using the optical test port, tap in
the Actions panel at the bottom of the
screen. The button will turn yellow and be
relabeled .
2. Press the Restart Soft Key on the
right side of the screen.
3. Check LEDs: a green Signal Present LED ●
indicates the T-BERD is receiving an optical
signal from the port under test. Green Sync
Acquired and Link Active LEDs indicate that
the T-BERD has successfully connected to
the port under test.
4. Set the Results Window to display
Traffic Profile/Streams results.
5. Tap , deselect SVLAN ID(s) and
SVLAN Priority, and tap .
6. View the Traffic Profile.
