This chapter discusses the following topics:
Overview
This chapter provides a summary of the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet device technology and the associated
Management Information Bases (MIBs), which the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack is designed
to support.
Note: The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack operates with Adva Optical Metro Ethernet devices
running Version 3.4.1 of the operating system.
Summary of Device Technology
Metro Ethernet Services using Ethernet technology deliver cost-effective, high-speed connectivity for
metropolitan-area network (MAN) and wide-area network (WAN) applications. This simple, easy-to-use
technology appeals to customers who are already using Ethernet throughout their local-area networks (LANs).
Metro Ethernet Services provide scalable bandwidth in flexible increments with simplified management and
faster, lower-cost provisioning.
The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack is designed to work with the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet
by reporting on the following categories of metrics:
•LAN Port
•WAN Port
•ESA Probes
Note: It is impractical and beyond the scope of this Technology Pack User’s Guide to provide exhaustive
descriptions and explanations of the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet technology. See the documentation that ships
with the previously listed devices and associated services for detailed information on the devices’ and services’
capabilities and features.
