Xgig® Protocol Test Platform for Secure Environments Protocol Analysis and Generation for Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and SAS/SATA
Protocol Analyzers and Traffic Generators for SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet The JDSU Xgig® Secure System chassis is a high-performance distributed monitoring, analysis, and testing system with removable storage designed to address the many security needs of primary contractors and government facilities. This new addition to the Xgig family uses standard Xgig blades and software to provide flexible and comprehensive testing and verification of components, nodes, and switches for Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and SAS/SATA protocols (see Figure 1).
The JDSU Xgig Secure System
Figure 1: Supports these high-speed serial protocols
Xgig is a powerful analysis platform for Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and SAS/ SATA links with the ability to serve as a protocol analyzer, traffic generator, and tester with no hardware changes. Xgig Secure System’s flexibility and advanced capabilities are enabled by the Xgig chassis and blade hardware architecture, where the chassis acts as the base platform supporting a wide array of blades offering different functionality for a diverse range of applications. The Xgig system either can be placed directly in-line on a link (see Figure 2) or can non-intrusively monitor links using the JDSU innovative family of copper or optical TAPs (Traffic Access Points). Key to the Xgig Secure System chassis is a 2 GB Flash drive containing the system and application kits which can be removed and stored separately from the chassis for maximum data security protection. When engaged in the chassis, the drive is securely key-locked to prevent unauthorized removal.
Figure 2: Typical Xgig configuration
The Xgig Secure System performs testing of Fibre Channel interfaces configured in any topology including point-to-point, switched fabric, and arbitrated loop. A single system can provide traffic generation, error injection, and advanced analysis across up to 16-ports with data rates from 1.0625 to 10.5 Gbps. Multiple Xgig systems can be cascaded together to form a group providing support from 2 to 64 time-synchronized analysis or test ports. In addition, the Xgig system supports both Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and SAS/SATA traffic simultaneously in either a cascade or non-cascade configuration (see Figure 3), a feature unique to the JDSU analyzer and test products. All military focused protocols operating under the Fibre Channel standard are supported, including the FC-AE, FC-AE-VI, FC-AE-FCLP, FC-AE-ASM, FC-AE-1553, and FC-AE-RDMA.
Figure 3: Using a cascaded Xgig system with a SAN
The Xgig system is controlled by user applications that run on a Windows management PC. The PC and the Xgig system are connected through a GE and LAN connection, enabling efficient remote monitoring and analysis. Additionally, the Xgig system is able to operate even when the connection to the user’s software is severed. Example: Once a capture is started, disconnecting the management PC and later reconnecting it will not interrupt the Xgig system or affect its analysis.
Analysis The versatile and advanced capabilities of the Xgig Secure System accelerate development and deployment of communication and control products such as air frame fabric switches, fiber-optic physical layer components, and communications navigation and information (CNI) systems. The Protocol Analyzer captures details about high-speed traffic and quickly analyzes individual protocols while the Xgig Expert software provides a robust set of debugging and analysis tools for analyzing traces that also automates many tasks that would be extremely time-consuming if they had to be performed manually. Xgig’s integrated suite of analysis software includes Trace Control, Performance Monitor, Trace View, and Expert.

Trace Control Trace Control is used to define the specific conditions and sequences under which traffic capture occurs. Complete with a library of pre-defined and userdefined templates u for frames, ordered sets, and errors (see Figure 4), Trace Control is also capable of multilevel trigger events, including timeouts, missing events, and specific v conditions. For example, Trace Control can start capturing immediately or be configured to trigger on a specific network traffic condition (such as waiting for a certain frame type to occur).

Performance Monitor Performance Monitor collects and graphically reports performance metrics and data errors in real-time for all live traffic on any links being monitored. Users can view metrics such as Mbps and Kframes/s, as well as physical layer errors from each direction of the link (see Figure 5). Performance Monitor views provide quick snapshots of the current running state of all links being analyzed, as well as total statistics over time. Chart View displays performance metrics over time for every active port selected. List View w displays performance data in table format. Units for each column can be selected using convenient tabs at the bottom of the List View table. Table views include data transferred in megabytes, data transferred in kiloframes, utilization percentage, frame statistics, frame errors, and physical errors. The current transfer rate and transfer rate meters are displayed in Meter View. LED View lets you check the current status of all ports while LED Summary shows a summary status for all ports. Each status type enumerates the active ports in that particular state. As with Trace Control, Performance Monitor lets you easily and directly set the port clock rate and signal retiming type directly from the application.

Protocol Analyzers and Traffic Generators for SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet Trace View Trace View simultaneously displays Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and/or SAS/SATA data traffic in a spreadsheet-like view x showing each trace event as a row and displays the interpreted captured data for each event in columns. You can completely configure this view to add, delete, or move columns as needed. The data inspector pane y at the bottom interprets the raw data for the event selected in the spreadsheet view. To change events, select a new event in the spreadsheet display. Event data can be displayed three ways: 8b/10b data view, general view, and protocol tree view. On the right,z the data inspector displays the hexadecimal values for the current event with their associated ASCII or EBCDIC representations. The hexadecimal area can be resized to display between 4 to 32 bytes of data per line. The traffic or trace histogram pane { represents the entire trace capture from start to end. You can expand and collapse the graph for a more detailed look at any portion of the trace. Bookmarks can be used to mark locations for later reference and quick access.

Expert Expert provides a unique and robust set of debugging and analysis features capable of automatically sorting through millions of events to quickly identify performance, upper-layer protocol, logical-layer, and physical-layer issues. It also flags and provides reports for protocol violations, interoperability problems, performance issues, and errant behaviors. Expert displays these three views: topology view, error log, and graph view. Topology view displays the network topology as derived from the trace data. The topology is built using advanced network detection and topology determination algorithms to identify any devices actively participating on the monitored links. The error log | displays a list of expert errors, warnings, and information events within a trace that the analysis software automatically identified. When processing a trace, Xgig Expert rebuilds protocol stacks and layers to identify both erroneous and undesirable network behaviors. Graph view } provides a highly-configurable, time-based graph showing trace activity that can be tracked for individual or aggregated devices. Data from multiple analyzers can be overlaid onto the graph to simultaneously analyze multiple traces.

Protocol Analyzers and Traffic Generators for SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet Multifunctionality Jamming With the Xgig Jammer, network managers can manipulate network traffic to simulate errors in real time and verify that recovery processes operate as expected. Jammer is used in conjunction with one or more Xgig Analyzers to capture both modified traffic and the system response to that traffic. Jammer can trigger the Analyzer, and the Analyzer can arm Jammer. The Xgig Jammer is transparent to the network, physically equivalent to an additional length of cable. Jammer passes traffic through unmodified until it detects a specific sequence of events. Jammer then makes a user-defined modification to a specified frame or ordered set and returns to pass-through mode.
Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) Physical-layer testing requires worst-case data loading and bit-by-bit data checking with results presented in an industry-accepted report format. The Xgig BERT verifies data integrity by sending industry-standard worst-case data patterns through network devices which are specifically designed to stress the system at the physical layer. Various patterns specifically check frequency response, data dependencies, and network interface components. Any differences between the transmitted and received data are detected using a bit-by-bit comparison, with results counted and captured for additional analysis. Unique, user-defined data patterns can be created to meet special test requirements. The Xgig BERT is protocol-aware for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel and can recognize data modifications allowed by devices on the link so that it does not inaccurately report them as errors. Manufacturing testing times are also significantly reduced for test hubs, host bus adapters, Fibre Channel RAIDs, and other active or passive devices since the Xgig BERT stresses all components in the data path.
