With Ethernet becoming ubiquitous in networks, Ethernet switches have become the mainstay of Enterprise networks, extending their applicability
to access and metro networks. Ethernet based standards have been undergoing rapid changes to accommodate increasing needs of performance, scalability, QoS support,
resilience, security etc.
As equipment manufacturers of network equipment consisting of Ethernet Switches race to enhance and differentiate their products
for ever-evolving standards, the availability of Net-O2's comprehensive automated functional
tests covering several deployment scenarios, result in reduced testing time and shorter time to market, with enhanced quality.
Net-O2's Layer-2 bridging test offerings include Net-O2 ATTEST-XP and Net-O2 ATTEST-CTS.
Net-O2 ATTEST Layer 2 Bridging Test Suites
Net-O2 ATTEST-CTS Layer 2 Bridging Test Suites perform Comprehensive testing of Layer-2 bridging protocols and features such as STP (Spanning Tree),
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree), MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree), VLAN (Virtual LAN), LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), IGMP Snooping and 802.1X (Port and Network Access Control).
The test cases that verify the devices capability for simultaneous connection and state, port role changes with bridges connected over 24 ports.
The test topologies include aggregated ports and ports authorized for accessibility. Scalability support in a device for handling tagged and untagged data
for maximum number of VLANs, ability to learn maximum destinations in the filtering table are verified.
