Management Interface Requirements

• One Management IP address, with mask and default gateway (e.g., 10.10.1.47/24 with default gateway 10.10.1.1).
• Remote access to the management IP address for TCP ports 22 (SSH) and 443 (HTTPS) from the Bequant support public IP address. This access can be set up with port forwarding rules in the router accessing the management network.
• Access from the BQN management IP address to the IP addresses and ports of the Bequant license manager (contact Bequant support for details about those IP addresses and ports).
• Access from the BQN management IP address to the NTP servers (UDP port 123) configured.

Datapath Requirements

Steering of traffic though the BQN must be bidirectional (all uplink and downlink traffic for the selected subscribers must go through the same BQN).

Traffic standards supported:

• IEEE 802.1Q(VLAN)
• IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ)
• IEEE 802.3ad (LACP)
• IETF RFC2516 (PPPoE)
• IETF RFC 3032 (MPLS): VPLS and pseudowires not supported

Traffic of supported type is automatically inspected by the BQN and does not require any special configuration.
