5.2 Ethernet Switch
5.2.1 Switch Configuration
FibeAir IP-10 supports Single Pipe and Managed Switch configurations.
Single Pipe is the default option, and does not require a license configuring the IDU to Managed Switch requires a license.
Single (Smart) Pipe is the default method, which allows only a single GBE interface for traffic (optical GBE-SFP or Electrical GBE, 10/100/1000 mbps). Traffic originating from any GBE interface will be sent directly to the radio and vice versa. This method allows QoS configuration. Other FE (10/100 mbps) interfaces are "functional" interfaces (WSC, Protection, Management).
Managed Switch is an 802.1Q VLAN-aware bridge, allowing L2 switching based on VLANs. Each traffic port can be configured as an "access" port or a "trunk" port, as follows:
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 44 of 167
Type VLANs Allowed Ingress Frames Allowed Egress Frames
Access Specific VLAN should be
associated with the access port
Only untagged frames (or frames
tagged with VID=0 ("Priority
Tagged")
Untagged
frames
Trunk
A range of VLANs or all VLANs
should be associated with the
trunk port
Only tagged frames Tagged frames
Hybrid
Specific VLAN is used for the
untagged frames
A range of VLANs are associated
with the tagged frames
Tagged and untagged frames Tagged frames
The Managed Switch method allows QoS configuration, and all Ethernet ports are allowed for traffic.
Metro Switch is an 802.1ad Provider Bridge, allowing Q-in-Q switching capabilities. Each traffic port can be assigned as a "Customer Network" port or a "Provider Network" port. The port attributes are listed in the following table:
Type VLANs Allowed Ingress Frames Allowed Egress Frames
Customer
Network
Specific S-VLAN should
be associated with the
customer network port
Untagged frames or tagged
(C-tag) frames
Untagged frames of
tagged (C-tag) frames
Provider
Network
A range of S-VLANs or all
S-VLANs should be
associated with the
provider network port
Only S-tagged frames, (in
accordance with the
configured "provider ether-
type", which is 0x88a8 by
default)
S-tagged frames,
carrying the configured
provider ether-type,
(0x88a8 by default)
S-Tag Ether type can be configured to one of the following values: 0x88a8 (default), 0x8100, 0x9100, or 0x9200.
In the Switch Configuration page, you can choose the Ethernet switching method.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 45 of 167
Choose the method you want, as follows:
Single pipe - Ethernet switching is disabled, whereby only a single Ethernet interface is used for traffic and the unit operates as a point-to-point microwave Ethernet radio.
Managed switch - Ethernet switching is enabled and all the ports are used for traffic.
Metro switch - This method is the same as Managed switch, but must be enabled to use Ethernet Q-in-Q provider switch.
LAG Load Balancing can be configured as Simple XOR or HASH.
Simple XOR performs XOR on the last three bits of the Packet Source MAC address (SA) and the Destination MAC address (DA), and according to the result, selects the link to be used in the LAG.
The HASH mechanism distributes flows across multiple egress ports in a LAG. It uses a proprietary scrambling function, and uses the last three bits (LSBs) of the DA, SA. This means that two flows with the same three LSB bits, but different MSB bits, will still go to the same port. Thus, the HASH will simply distribute more evenly.
In the Unit allowed VIDs area, you can define VLANs for the managed switch, as follows:
1 In the Operation field, select the operation you want to perform for the VLANs:
Set - to add the VLANs to the database.
Remove - to remove the VLANs from the database.
Change name - to change the VLAN name you specified previously.
Disable - to suspend usage of the VLAN you specified.
Enable - to activate the VLAN you specified.

5.2.2 STP Protocol
This page allows you to configure STP parameters.
This option is available only when the system operates in the Managed or Metro Switch modes.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged LAN. Spanning Tree allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links for automatic backup paths, needed for cases in which an active link fails. The backup paths can be included with no danger of bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of the backup links.
Bridge loops must be avoided since they result in network “flooding”.
You can choose between the Fast Ring RSTP and the standard RSTP protocols as defined in IEEE 802.1D.
Select the desired protocol, or Disable to deactivate the protocols.

5.2.3 RSTP and Ring RSTP
These windows enable you to configure RSTP and Ring RSTP parameters and view status information.
RSTP and Ring RSTP algorithms are designed to create loop-free topologies in any network design, which makes it sub-optimal to ring topologies.
The configurations of RSTP and Ring RSTP parameters are identical.
In the (Ring) RSTP Status area, the following information is provided:
Bridge ID - The ID of the bridge in the current monitored IDU.
Root ID - The ID of the root bridge.
Root Path Cost - The cost of the path from the current monitored IDU to the root bridge.
Bridge Role - The role of the bridge, which can be Root or Designated.
In the (Ring) RSTP Configuration area, you can configure the following:
Priority - The priority of the bridge, which is part of the bridge ID.
In the Ethernet Ports that Support (Ring) RSTP table, each interface in the IDU can be configured with the following RSTP parameters.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 48 of 167
Priority - Configure the specific priority for this interface.
Path Cost - Configure the path cost for this port. The lower the value the more likely that port is used.
Edge port - This port is not part of the ring itself, and is used as a service access port. Non-edge ports are those that construct the ring.

5.2.4 QoS & Rate Limiting
The QoS feature allows you to configure classification and scheduling to ensure packets are forwarded and discarded according to their priority. QoS can be configured for all switch methods (Single Pipe, Managed Switch, and Metro Switch).
The QoS flow is as follows:
Egress Port #yIngress Port #x
Calssifier
(4 Queues)
5 Policers
(Ingress
Rate
Limiting)
Queue
Controller
Shaper
(Egress rate

5.2.4.1 Ingress Classifier
A frame ingressed to a port will be classified according to the following criteria:
1 First Criteria: MAC DA (Destination Address) based. A frame ingressed to a port, carrying a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table (see details below), will be classified, its VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (assuming the frame egress is tagged) according to the following options:
Disable - No MAC DA classification or VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (no marking).
Queue Decision - There will only be classification to queue. No marking.
VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (marked). Classification according to a lower criteria.
Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 50 of 167
2 Second Criteria: VLAN ID based. If the first criteria is not fulfilled (whether it is disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table), classification and/or marking (VLAN Pbits overwrite, assuming the frame egress is tagged) will be decided according to the VLAN ID to Queue table (see below), in accordance with the following options:
Disable - No VLAN ID classification or VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking).
Queue Decision - Only classification to queue. No marking.
VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking). Classification will be according to lower criteria.
Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.
3 Third Criteria: If both the first and second criteria are not fulfilled (whether they are both disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA or VLAN ID that appears in the tables), it will be classified according to the following configuration:
VLAN Pbits - Classification according to VLAN Pbits. Queue is assigned according to the VLAN Pbits Priority Remap table (see below).
IP TOS - Classification according to IP TOS (IP precedence, or IP diffserv). Queue is assigned according to IP Pbits to Queue table (see below).
VLAN Pbits over IP TOS - Classification according to VLAN Pbits, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header.
IP TOS over VLAN Pbits - classification according to IP TOS, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header.
Port (Default) - If any of the above criteria is not fulfilled, the default classification will be assigned to the ingress frame.
4 Default Classification - The default queue decision.
Classifier Tables (in the Advanced field)
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7

5.2.4.2 VLAN Pbits Priority Remap
Single table per port. Allows you to remap VLAN-priority bit values 0-7, to any other preferable value in the range of 0-7. The number of table entries is eight (all CoS legal values).
Remapping a table can be used to scale down some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 3:0), while at same time scaling up some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 7:4), or to ensure that specific priorities are reserved for specific purposes, by initially remapping all frames away from reserved priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 4:0, protecting priorities 7:5).
5.2.4.3 Egress Scheduler
The Egress Scheduler section of the QoS & Rate Limiting window determines how frames are output from the queues.
The fourth queue is the Highest Priority Queue, and the first queue is the Lowest Priority Queue.
The following scheduling schemes are supported:
Strict for all queues.
Strict for fourth queue, and HRR (Hierarchical Round Robin) for third, second, and first queues.
Strict for fourth and third queues, and HRR for second and first queues.
HRR for all queues.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 52 of 167
In the HRR scheduling scheme, a weight is assigned to each queue, so that frames egress from the queues according to their assigned weight, to avoid "starvation" of lower priority queues. In addition, frames will egress in a "mixed" manner, to avoid "bursts" of frames from the same queue.
Each queue weight can be configured, and the weight will be used by the scheduler when the specific queue is part of the HRR scheduling scheme.
The queue weight is a value between 1 and 32, and is configured via the Queue Weights table. The default queue weights are 8,4,2,1.
Shaper - Determines the scheduler rate (egress rate limit). Select ON or OFF. The default is OFF.
Shaper Rate - The following rate steps are available:
For 64 Kbps <= Rate <= 960 Kbps, in steps of 64 Kbps.
For 1000 Kbps <= Rate <= 100,000 Kbps, in steps of 1000 Kbps.
For 100,000 Kbps < Rate <= 1,000,000 Kbps, in steps of 10,000 Kbps.
5.2.4.4 Ingress Rate Limiting
The Ingress Rate Limiting section of the QoS & Rate Limiting window determines the port ingress rate limit.
Attach Policer - Up to five policers per port can be configured, as follows:
The system supports a color blind leaky bucket scheme.
Each policer has the following parameters:
CIR - Committed Information Rate. Rate limiting resolution:

5.2.5.8 WRED
Weighted Random Early Detect (WRED) mechanism can increase capacity utilization of TCP traffic by eliminating the phenomenon of global synchronization. Global synchronization occurs when TCP flows that share bottleneck conditions receive loss indications at the same time. This can result in periods during which link bandwidth utilization drops significantly as a consequence of simultaneous falling to ‘slow start’ of all the TCP flows. For more information about using WRED with IP-10, see IP-10 Feature Description.
To enable Enhanced Traffic Manager for WRED:
1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > WRED. The WRED window is displayed.
2 From the WRED admin section, click Enable. The Enhanced Traffic Manager for WRED is enabled.
Each of the eight priority queues can be given a different WRED profile curve. This curve describes the probability of randomly dropping packets as the specific queue uses more bandwidth. You can configure a separate WRED profile curve for each priority queue. Additionally, you can configure different weights for yellow (non-compliant) and green (compliant) packets so that the system drops yellow packets first.
To configure WRED traffic classification rules:
1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > WRED. The WRED window is displayed.
2 Expand the WRED queue. The WRED Thresholds queue configuration pane is displayed.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 73 of 167

Green packets high threshold – Maximum throughput of green packets for this queue. After this value is reached, all green packets in this queue are dropped.
Green packets maximal drop percentage – Maximum percentage of dropped green packets for this queue.
Yellow packets low threshold - Minimum throughput of yellow packets for this queue. When this value is reached, the system begins dropping yellow packets in this queue.
Yellow packets high threshold - Maximum throughput of yellow packets for this queue. After this value is reached, all yellow packets in this queue are dropped.
Yellow packets maximal drop percentage - Maximum percentage of dropped yellow packets for this queue.
4 Click Apply. The MPLS experimental bits classification rule is configured. 5 Repeat steps 2 - 4 for other MPLS experimental bits values that need to be
configured.
5.2.5.9 Egress Shaper & Scheduler
The Egress shaper feature is used to shape the traffic profile sent to the radio. The Enhanced Traffic Manager enables you to configure an Egress shaper for each priority queue.
When using the Enhanced Traffic Manager feature, the egress scheduler uses the Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ) algorithm instead of Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Each priority queue is assigned a strict priority between 1 and 4 (4=High; 1=Low). WFQ weights are used to partition bandwidth between the queues of the same priority. For more information about using the Egress Shaper and Scheduler, see the IP-10 Feature Description Guide.
To enable Egress Shaper and Scheduler:
1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > Egress Shaper & Scheduler. The Egress Shaper & Scheduler window is displayed.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 74 of 167
2 From the Global Shaper admin section, click Enable. The Egress Shaper and Scheduler feature is enabled.
To configure Egress shaper and scheduler for the priority queues:
1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > Egress Shaper & Scheduler. The Egress Shaper & Scheduler window is displayed.
2 From the Queue Configuration section, expand a priority queue. The Egress Shaper & Scheduler queue configuration pane is displayed.
3 Configure the following Egress shaper and scheduler parameters for the priority queue:
Priority – Egress priority for this queue. The queue with a higher priority egresses before a lower one regardless of WFQ weights.
WFQ weight – Sets the ratio for allowed bandwidth to queues with the same priority. Sample configuration - queue 5 has a WFQ weight of 4, and queue 7 has a WFQ weight of 8. Under congestion conditions queue 7 would be allowed to transmit twice as much bandwidth as queue 5.
Shaper admin – When Enable is selected, the Egress shaper and scheduler configuration is used for this priority queue.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 75 of 167
CIR – Committed Information Rate for this queue.
CBS – Committed Burst Size for this queue.
Line compensation –The number of bytes that is compensated in the shaper credits counting for the Inter-Frame Gap (IFG) and the preamble + SFD fields between the two consecutive Ethernet frames. The default value is 20 bytes which is the number of bytes used for IFG + preamble + SFD according to the Ethernet standard.
You may want the Egress shaper to count in L2 by setting line compensation to 0. You can also “punish” short frame senders for the overhead they cause in the network by increasing the line compensation above 20 bytes.
5.3 Radio
The Radio menu includes the Radio Parameters and Radio Thresholds items.
5.3.1 Radio Parameters
The Radio Parameters window enables you to configure how the radio operates.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 76 of 167
The explanation of how to configure the IF Combining parameters is discussed in the Radio Diversity section. For more information, see IF Combining Parameters on page 108.
This window also controls the MAC header compression feature. Radio transmission (compared with Fiber optics and other line base links) has limited bandwidth and compression is required to improve available capacity utilization. The benefit of using MAC header compression is that it can be used as a supplement to the other compression without affecting traffic performance.
Ceragon proprietary MAC Header compression improves the effective throughput by up to 45%, and does not affect user traffic.
MAC header compression is based on the following:
Dropping the Preamble + SFD + IFG saves 20 bytes.
Dropping the Ethernet type saves 2 bytes.
Adding a GFP header adds 4 bytes.
In addition:
Frequently repeating SA & DA are learned.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 77 of 167
Learned DA & SA are not transmitted.
A short pointer is used instead of the original 12 bytes.
Effectiveness is reduced if a high number of L2 flows are used.
The capacity reached after header compression, in accordance with the Ethernet packet length, is as follows:
Ethernet Packet Size
Capacity after Compression
64 45%
96 29%
128 22%
256 11%
512 5%

5.3.1.6 Multi Radio
Multi-radio enables two separate radio links to be shared by a single Ethernet port. This provides an Ethernet link over the radio with double capacity, which still behaves as a single layer-2 MAC. The two separate radio links may be implemented using XPIC or separate frequencies.
This feature is available only for IDUs which are inserted in a shelf.
Multi-radio cannot be used in tandem with the following features:
1+1 HSB
Space Diversity
Multi-radio feature is applicable for Ethernet data only. For TDM, each link remains separate, and users can decide to configure trails to either radio (or both, by using SNCP or ABR).
You should ensure that the two radio links are using the same radio script in order for Multi-radio to perform at maximum efficiency.
Since traffic is distributed between both carriers at layer 1 level, a failure in one of the radio links may cause all Ethernet frames to be affected. Therefore, Multi-radio performs actions to ensure graceful degradation in the case of a failure. You can configure a link to be blocked, so that the transmitter does not distribute data to this link and the receiver ignores it when combining.
To configure the Multi Radio settings:
1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Radio > Radio Parameters. The Radio Parameters window is displayed.
2 From the bottom of the Radio Parameters window, click Refresh. The current radio parameters are displayed in the Multi Radio section.

5.3.4 MRMC Configuration
In this page, you can configure MRMC script parameters.
5.3.4.1 MRMC Configuration
MRMC Scripts displays the current selected radio script.
Occupied bandwidth (MHz) displays the actual bandwidth occupied by the radio signal. This should not be confused with Channel Spacing, which indicates the allocated bandwidth for the RF channel.
Operational mode can be ACM Adaptive, ACM Fixed, Regular (non ACM radio script).
Min adaptive ACM profile is the minimum configured profile that will never be exceeded when ACM is active.
Max adaptive ACM profile is the maximum configured profile that will never be exceeded when ACM is active.
Adaptive Tx power admin displays is power admin is enabled. When enabled, the radio power is adjusted to the current profile that is being used.
5.3.4.2 Current TX
ACM adaptive profile indicates the current ACM profile used for transmission.
QAM indicates the current modulation used for transmission.
Bitrate indicates the current transmitted bit rate, in Mbps.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 85 of 167
5.3.4.3 Current RX
ACM adaptive profile indicates the current ACM profile used by the receiver.
QAM indicates the current modulation used by the receiver.
Bitrate indicates the current receiving bit rate, in Mbps.
5.3.4.4 MRMC Table
This table contains all available radio scripts.
Select the desired script and mode (regular or ACM).
When you expand the line of the selected script (by clicking the +) all available options for the selected script will appear.
For regular scripts, select a radio script that does not have an ACM prefix. Expand the line (by clicking the +), and then click Apply.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 86 of 167
5.3.4.5 MRMC Table – ACM Scripts
ACM scripts can be distinguished from regular scripts by their ACM prefix. For ACM scripts, expand the line (by clicking the +).
Two options are available for ACM scripts:
ACM Fixed Mode - In this mode, the ACM engine will be disabled. To select a desired profile, expand the line (click the +), and choose the profile. The radio will use only the profile you selected.
ACM Adaptive Mode (shown in the page below) - In this mode, the radio will be adaptive, and the ACM engine will be enabled. To select a maximum profile, expand the line (click the +), and select the profile. The profile is the maximum that the ACM may reach, but never exceed.
When configuring ACM script with Adaptive Mode, you can determine whether or not the RFU power will be adaptive as well.
In the Adaptive Power admin field, enable or disable the capability to adapt the power.
In the Reference class field, configure the system reference class, which can be "Class-2/4/5B/6A" for ETSI, or “FCC” for FCC.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 87 of 167
ACM can operate in one of two scenarios:
Increase capacity (increase throughput)
Increase availability
The first scenario is for customers with links of several E1s in a low class, and now want to use ACM to add Ethernet traffic with lower availability.
The second scenario is for customers who plan the link for a specific availability and capacity, but want lower capacity even in higher fades.
In the first scenario, the user will plan the link according to low class channel, and when the condition allows, the link will increase the modulation. This increase of modulation may require lowering the output power to decrease the non-linearity of the transmitter for the higher constellations.
Adaptive power options can be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the maximum Tx power in lower constellations is limited by the highest modulation. If enabled, the maximum Tx power in lower constellations is limited by the reference class configured, as listed in the following table.
Reference Class Configuration
Reference QAM
Class 2 4
Class 4 16
Class 5B 64
Class 6A 256
FCC 4
If the adaptive feature is used, a few critical dBs can be gained in the lower constellations.

5.3.5 Traffic Priority
When using ACM and the available radio bandwidth is changing, it can become necessary to drop some of the outgoing traffic. The Traffic Priority window enables you to configure whether TDM or Ethernet traffic should be dropped first.
The system distinguishes between four different types of traffic:
High-priority TDM trails
Low-priority TDM trails
High-priority Ethernet traffic
Low-priority Ethernet traffic
TDM traffic is configured in the TDM Trails window (Configuration > Trails > TDM Trails). For more information on configuring TDM traffic priority, see Configuring TDM Trails on page 111.
Ethernet traffic is prioritized according the priority of the QoS or Enhanced QoS queues. Ethernet traffic from queues with a lower priority are dropped when there is not enough bandwidth. For more information on configuring Ethernet traffic priority:
QoS & Rate Limiting – see Advanced Classifier – Queue Weights on page 55.
Enhanced Traffic Manager – see Configuration & Parameters on page 60.
The following list details the priorities for the different Traffic Priority schemes:
High TDM over Ethernet (default)
iv TDM high priority v TDM low priority vi Ethernet
High Ethernet over TDM
i Ethernet high priority ii TDM high priority iii TDM low priority iv Ethernet low priority
High TDM over high Ethernet
i TDM high priority ii Ethernet high priority iii TDM low priority iv Ethernet low priority
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7

5.4.1.2 Defining a LAG PORT
Click Create Lag port to define a LAG port group.
Link aggregation allows the user to group several ports into a single logical channel bound to a single MAC address. Traffic sent to the ports in such a group is distributed through a load balancing function. The group is called a LAG.
There can be up to three LAG groups per IDU. Only traffic ports (including a radio port) can belong to a LAG group. The following groups of ports can be in the same LAG (ports from different groups cannot be in the same LAG):
Ports 1-2 and 8 (GBE ports and radio)
Ports 3-7 (FE only ports)
To add or remove ports in the LAG group, select the desired port in the window. Ports selected for the LAG group are highlighted; and ports selected for deletion are cleared in the window.
The system will not allow selection of ports with different configurations (such ports will not be highlighted).
Ports removed from a LAG will remain with their existing parameters, but will be initially disabled to prevent loops.
Deselecting all ports will clear the entire LAG port.
A LAG port can be configured as “LAG #1, #2, #3”, since there can be up to three LAG ports in the system.
When a LAG is created by adding a first port to it, the LAG will automatically inherit all characteristics of the ports, except for the xSTP role (edge, non-
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 95 of 167
edge), and the path cost. The LAG will initially receive default values for those parameters.
In the Configuration page, the lag ports are listed in the Interface column.
In the Advanced line, you can click Allowed VIDs to assign VIDs to the LAG.
LAG Group Notes:
For GBE LAG groups, both interfaces must be of the same type (electrical/optical).
A radio port can be in a LAG with either electrical or optical line ports.
All ports in a LAG group must be of the same data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps).
A GBE LAG group may include the radio port.
The configurations must be identical in all ports before adding them to the LAG logical port.

5.4.1.3 Defining Fault Criteria
In the Fault Criteria area of the Ethernet Ports page, the following options allow you to determine which faults should be propagated back to the line.
Local LOF - When Automatic State Propagation is enabled, an LOF (Radio Loss of Frame) fault will always be propagated.
Link ID Mismatch - When Automatic State Propagation is enabled, a Radio Link ID mismatch fault will always be propagated.
MAC address ageing time - The aging time used by the MAC learning table
can be a value between 15 and 3825 seconds. The default value is 300 seconds.
Ethernet shutdown Rx profile threshold - When ACM adaptive mode is active, you can determine an Rx profile that will be considered a fault when the radio performance degrades below that profile.
Local Excessive BER - When an Excessive BER alarm is raised locally, it will be propagated as a fault.
Local LOC - When a Loss of Carrier alarm (only for optical GBE interface) is raised, it will be propagated as a fault.
Remote Fault - If any of the events described above occurs at the remote (remote fault), it will be propagated locally as a fault.

CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 99 of 167
2 Fill in the fields as follows:
i Configure parameters in the STM-1 Configuration section.
Port Admin - Select Enable to activate the interface, or Disable to deactivate it.
Mute Tx - Used to force mute or unmute the T-Card interface. If muted, the radio will still receive signals, but will not transmit any.
Outgoing signal clock source - the clock source used, which can be Internal clock, Loop, or STM-1 VC.
The clock source and the clock source status may be different when the configuration does not match the current clock source in use, due to the signal failures listed below.
If you choose Internal Clock (the default option), the quality will be SMC/SEC (ITU-T G.813).
If you choose Loop (CDR mode), the signal clock source will be taken in accordance with the following table:
# LOF from Framer LOS from Optics Mode of Operation Clock Source
1 LOF LOS Free run/holdover Local clock
2 LOF NO LOS Free run/holdover Local clock
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 100 of 167
# LOF from Framer LOS from Optics Mode of Operation Clock Source
3 NO LOF LOS N/A Local clock
4 NO LOF NO LOS Lock mode (loop
timing) CDR
If you choose STM-1 VC, the signal will be synchronized to the signal clock derived from a TDM trail. The clock will be taken from the first VC-12 configured in the STM-1 port.
There is no web support for this, but there is a way to change the VC source through the CLI using the following commands:
cd interfaces/sdh/stm1/ get sync-vc (shows the VC that the system will use as the clock and sync) Set sync-vc XX (XX = VC number)
Clock source status – The clock source that is currently set.
Synchronization VC - The VC channel that is used to synchronize the STM-1 interface.
AIS VC Signaling Admin - when enabled, if a signal failure at the trail outgoing from the STM-1 interface occurs, the system will signal AIS at the VC level (AIS-V) in the V5 byte of the overhead.
Line Tx Protection Mode - If you choose Normal, the system will behave regularly when configuring the system to 1+1 with the STM-1 card. The redundant STM-1 will not transmit signals unless the primary IDU performs a switch due to a failure. Choose Uni-direction MSP when the system is configured for 1+1 with STM-1 cards. Both cards will transmit, and the decision of which will actually function, will be decided by other equipment connected to it.
ii Configure parameters in the Trace Identifier (J0) section.
Received Trace Identifier - Read-only field. The received trace identifier, used to verify ongoing connection to the transmitter.
Transmit Trace Identifier - The trace identifier used to verify ongoing connection to the receiver.
Expected Trace Identifier - The trace identifier that will be used to verify ongoing connection to the remote side of the link.

If enabled, a signal failure is generated at the corresponding trail, which will cause the far end not to receive a signal (including trail ID indications). The trail status will show “signal failure”. In addition, an indication is sent to the relevant interface.
This is not a system alarm, since the problem originates elsewhere in the network.
5.4.10 Sync Source
Synchronous Ethernet consists of the transport of a frequency timing reference through the Ethernet physical layer. It allows the receiving side of an Ethernet link to lock onto the physical layer clock of the received Ethernet signal, which was derived from a reference clock source. The receiver is therefore frequency-synchronized with the source.
IP-10 allows synchronization of the frequency of the outgoing Ethernet carrier signal with any existing TDM trail.
To configure the sync source:
1 Select Primary. 2 From the IDU that is displayed, click the interface type
(Line/STM-1/Radio) to select it as the synchronization source. 3 Select the interface number and click Apply.
Repeat the procedure for the secondary sync source.
If you choose an interface and then click Apply, the configuration will be cleared.

5.5.2 Radio Diversity
The Radio Diversity feature can be used with configurations that are using two antennas. There are two modes for using two antennas with a single system: 1+0 IF combining and 1+1 Space diversity.
1+1 Space diversity is a feature that enables the system to dynamically choose at every moment the best received signal between two radio carriers configured as 1+1 HSB. This allows data flow to be unaffected in the event of unwanted physical events affecting the radio channel, such as fading. It is implemented at the base-band level and thus requires no special RFU connections or upgrades. This feature is available only for IDUs which are inserted in a shelf.
1+0 (IFC - IF combining) is a feature for configurations that use two antennas with a single RFU-HP with two Rx ports and a single IDU. The selected signal line output is based upon the Rx signal at the RFU.
5.5.2.1 IF Combining Parameters

5.6.1 Configuring TDM Trails
This page is used to configure the FibeAir® IP-10 Cross Connect (XC) system for operation.
FibeAir IP-10 Cross Connect system serves as a node in a microwave radio network.
The system is designed to comply with requirements of a node in a network that aggregates several sites (downlinks) into a radio pipe (uplink). It can also be deployed in a mesh network configuration.
The system consists of up to six IDUs placed together in a single chassis, for TDM traffic cross connect. The following figure displays a nodal enclosure that can contain up to six IP-10 IDUs:
Once the IDUs are linked through the common backplane (as shown in the photo above), the XC system is constructed by building trails.
To configure the trails for Cross-Connect operation:
1 Start the IP-10 Web Management application. The following web page is an example of the IP-10 IDUs that appear in a nodal configuration.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 112 of 167
Trail building is only done via the Main IDU (Slot 1 at the bottom). However, you can select any other IDU to set other configuration parameters for all the other IDUs in the shelf.
2 On the left side of the main window, select Configuration > Trails > TDM Trails. Initially, the page that appears is empty.
3 Click Add, to create a new trail. The Add New Trail window appears. 4 To select the E1/T1 ports for the trail, in the Add New Trail window:
i Click the E1/T1 interface in any IDU ii Select the E1/T1, as shown in the example below.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 113 of 167
iii For STM-1/OC-3 trails, the window appears as follows:
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 114 of 167
5 To select the VC number you want to assign to the trail:
Click the RF interface in any IDU, as shown in the example page above.
6 In the Add New Trail window, configure the new TDM trail. Configure the Protection options. If you want a secondary trail to cover the main trail if it fails, you must choose one of the following options:
Protected 1+1 - used for an SNCP protected trail, with permanent use of bandwidth in both paths.
Protected ABR - protected ABR (1:1), used for an SNCP protected trail with better use of the radio capacity in the unused path.
If you chose Protected 1+1 or Protected ABR, a second interface will appear in the Add New Trail window, as follows:
In the Trail ID field, enter the ID of the trail. This ID is used to ensure that the flow of data over the link matches the trail designations.
In the Trail Description field, enter a textual description of the trail for further identification purposes.
In the ACM Priority field, select High or Low. Adaptive Coding & Modulation employs the highest possible modulation during changing environmental conditions, which may be from QPSK to 256 QAM. If you select High for priority, the system will ensure that this trail is used to pass traffic when throughput for other trails is less efficient.
In the Reserved/Operational field, set the trail to Operational to enable its operation. If you want to define the trail, but keep it inactive for the time being, select Reserved.
5.6.1.1 TDM Trails Configuration Notes
For the trail to function properly, it must be configured accordingly on both sides of the link.
If a unit (IDU) is disconnected from the nodal enclosure and ceases to function as part of the shelf configuration, the removal will be acknowledged as an alarm.
The IDU can then function as a stand-alone unit, using a "default" E1/T1 configuration.
You can configure E1/T1 ports in the E1/T1 Ports page:
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 115 of 167
However, note that you do not enable the ports in this page.
The ports are enabled only in accordance with the trails that you configure, as described in this guide.
5.6.1.2 Connected Ports
The following is an example of connected trail ports and their system status.
Example of Trail List for the E1/T1 Interface
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 116 of 167
Example of Trail List for the STM-1/OC-3 Interface
5.6.1.3 Cross Connection at the KLM Level
Cross connection at the KLM level operates the same way as that for E1s.
When a trail is defined, you can choose one of the interfaces to be an STM-1 VC-12.
Note that in the CLI (Command Line Interface), this is done by setting the interface type to STM1 instead of Line.
For example, for a trail between VC#1 in the radio and VC-12 #1 in the STM-1 interface of slot number one, you would use the following command:
add-trail id1 desc1 high operational unprotected 1 stm1 1 1 radio 1
As with other interface types, the number after the interface type represents the interface number.
For STM-1, this means which VC-12 to use. The KLM slot to be used corresponds to the VC number chosen, as specified in the ITU-T G.707 clause 7.3 standard.
CeraWeb User Guide Version 6.7
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 117 of 167
The following table summarizes:
Thus, for example, interface number 35 corresponds to TS#35 in the above table, which is KLM address 252 (TU-3#2, TU-2#5, TU-12#2).
