VLAN

Paragon Active Assurance supports both untagged and tagged interfaces on Test Agents (except on Test Agent Applications). VLAN tagging is defined in the ► IEEE 802.1Q standard. A Test Agent can have at most 125 simultaneous VLANs defined. For large numbers of VLANs, a HW Large Test Agent is required.

For Ethernet activation tests, Paragon Active Assurance supports VLAN stacking (Q-in-Q) according to the ► IEEE 802.1ad standard. It is not possible to generate synthetic traffic (UDP and TCP) using VLAN stacking.
