C h a p t e r 1

Traditional SDH Service Networking Configuration

This chapter describes the configuration flow of establishing a transmission network with ZXONM E300. In addition, an example of SDH service networking is included to describe the operation steps and methods.

Configuration Flow The networking configuration with ZXONM E300 has two typical flows according to whether the NEs are online or offline.

Note:

Online status indicates that the NE configuration commands are sent at real-time to the NCP board, and then are forwarded to the corresponding board by NCP board.

Offline status indicates that the NE configuration commands are only saved in the EMS database and are not sent to the NCP board, since the NE is offline.

Networking flow of online NEs

The networking flow of online NEs is listed in Table 4.

T AB L E 4 N E T W O R K I N G FL O W O F ON L I N E NE S

Step Description Menu

1 Create online NEs Device Config -> Create NE (select the NeState as “Online”)

2 Install the boards Device Config -> NE Config -> Open NE

3 Connect NEs Device Config -> Common Management -> Link Management

4 Configure timeslots Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config




5 Configure clock sources

Device Config -> SDH Management -> Clock Source

6 Configure orderwire services

Device Config -> Common Management -> Order Wire

……

N Extract the NCP time Maintenance -> Time Management

Networking flow of offline NEs

The networking flow of offline NEs is listed in Table 5.

T AB L E 5 N E T W O R K I N G FL O W O F OF F L I N E NE S


1 Create offline NEs Device Config -> Create NE (select the NeState as “Offline”)

2 Install the boards Device Config -> NE Config -> Open NE

3 Connect NEs Device Config -> Common Management -> Link Management

4 Configure timeslots Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config

5 Configure clock sources Device Config -> SDH Management -> Clock Source

6 Configure orderwire services

Device Config -> Common Management -> Order Wire

……

N-2 Modify NE status to “Online” Device Config -> NE Config -> NE Property

N-1 Download NE data System -> NCP Data Management -> DB Download

N Extract the NCP time Maintenance -> Time Management

Note: Some other configurations may need to be performed in the EMS according to actual networking requirement and equipment type:

If the network needs MS protection, configure MS protection before configuring timeslots.

If the network needs Ethernet or ATM service, configure them. For detailed configuration, refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

If the equipment has special requirement for configuration, e.g. ZXMP S330 needs 1:N protection for boards, make corresponding configurations in EMS via selecting Maintenance -> Diagnosis -> Setting 1:N Card Switching.

If EMS manages the transmission equipment by Data Communication Network (DCN), the gateway NE can be employed to establish the communication relationship between EMS and the managed equipment. For detailed operations, refer to Configure Gateway NE in Chapter 5.

Chapter 1 - Traditional SDH Service Networking Configuration


Configuration Example In this section, you will learn about the configuration of traditional SDH services with a networking example for offline network elements.

Networking Configuration Suppose there are six NEs: A, B, C, D, E and F. The network consisting of them is illustrated in Figure 1.

F I G U R E 1 NE T W O R K I N G D I AG R AM

Service requirements are listed as follows:

As the access network element and network head, NE A is accessed to the EMS terminal (ZXONM E300), providing the clock for the whole network.

Traffic assignments:

Between NE A and NE B: eight STM-1 optical signal services

Between NE A and NE C: eight STM-1 optical signal services

Between NE A and NE D: eight STM-1 optical signal services

Between NE E and NE F: fifty 2 M bidirectional services

Orderwire phone is needed among all the NEs;

NE A, B, C and D form a two-fiber bidirectional MS protection ring;

NE D and E form a four-fiber 1+1 MS protection link.



Networking Analysis and Service Configuration According to the network transmission rate presented above, determine the type of transmission equipment as listed in Table 6.

NE F 193.55.6.18 255.255.255.0

EMS computer 193.55.1.5 255.255.255.0

Since NE A is connected with the EMS computer directly, IP address of the EMS computer should be in the network segment same with that of NE A.

Connecting EMS and NE [Purpose]

Establish the communication between EMS and NE.

[Steps]

1. Connect the network port of EMS computer with the Qx port which lies in the interface area of NE A.

2. Modify the IP address, mask and gateway address of EMS computer as 193.55.1.5, 255.255.255.0, 193.55.1.18 respectively.

3. Add the routing on the EMS computer in order to make the computer access other NEs.

i. Click Start -> Run in the EMS computer and go to Run dialog box.



ii. Input cmd in the Run dialog box and go to cmd Window.

iii. Input following commands in the cmd Window to add the routing information in order to access other NEs.

route add 193.55.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 193.55.1.18

route add 193.55.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0 193.55.1.18

route add 193.55.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0 193.55.1.18

route add 193.55.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0 193.55.1.18

route add 193.55.6.0 mask 255.255.255.0 193.55.1.18

Cautions: After EMS computer is rebooted, the routings added above will be lost. If the permanent routings are expected in the computer, the command of route add-p should be used instead of route add .

[Result]

After creating the NE according to the steps described in Creating NE later, Ping NE’s IP on the EMS computer, then the NE can be pinged through.

Creating NE [Purpose]

Create NE A, B, C, D, E, and F.

[Steps]

Select the menu item Device Config -> Create NE in the main view of the client operation window, and the Create NE dialog box pops up.

Circuit Service Configuration

This chapter introduces the configuration flow of circuit services in ZXONM E300. In addition, detailed operation steps and methods are described on the basis of the networking example in Chapter 1.

Configuration Flow With the circuit re-discovery function provided by the circuit service management functional module, the timeslots configured manually can be used to create circuits automatically. Users can also create circuits themselves.

According to different creation processes, the circuit creation can be divided into:

Creation of service layer circuits,

Creation of PDH unidirectional/bidirectional circuits,

Creation of broadcast circuits,

Creation of concatenation circuits, and

Creation of data services.



Service Layer Circuit Definition

Service layer circuits are service-layer connections, which are the basis to achieve PDH circuits and broadcast circuits.

Each service layer circuit can be allocated to multiple circuits.

For the service layer circuit created in AU4 multiplexing mode with the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4, the speed of the circuit is VC4.

For the service layer circuit created in AU3 multiplexing mode with the speed E1/E3/DS3, the speed of the circuit is VC3.

Creating procedure

Figure 31 describes the work flow of creating the service layer circuit.

F I G U R E 31 CR E AT E T H E S E R V I C E L AY E R C I R C U I T

Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority

Determine the information of ends

Set the routing restriction (optional)

Set the protection relation (optional)

Set basic information of the circuit (such as name, user)

Confirm the creation operation

Issue the configuration data

Chapter 2 - Circuit Service Configuration


PDH Circuit Definition

PDH circuits refer to the unidirectional and bidirectional circuits with the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4.

The VC4 or VC3 service layer path must be created before creating a PDH circuit.

Creation procedure

Figure 32 describes the work flow of creating PDH circuit.

F I G U R E 32 CR E AT E T H E PDH C I R C U I T

Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the PDH circuit







Create the service layer circuit

Select the port(optional)



Broadcast Circuit Definition

Broadcast circuits refer to point-to-multipoint unidirectional circuits with the speed of E1/E3/DS3/E4.

A unidirectional service layer path with the speed of VC4 or VC3 must be created before creating a broadcast circuit.

Creation procedure

1. Create trunk circuit for the broadcast circuit group

F I G U R E 33 C R E AT E TR U N K C I R C U I T

Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the broadcast circuit




Set basic information of the circuit (such as circuit name, user)



Create the unidirectional service-layer circuit

Select the port(optional)

Determine the property of the broadcast circuit group(create the broadcast group and name it)



2. Add tributaries to the broadcast circuit group

F I G U R E 34 AD D TR I B U T AR I E S

Note: The unidirectional service-layer circuit of the broadcast tributary circuit and the service-layer circuit of the trunk circuit have the same originating ends and different terminating ends. Therefore, you only need to determine the terminating ends of them when determining the ends’ information.



Concatenation Circuit Definition

ZXONM E300 supports unidirectional circuits and bidirectional concatenation circuits at the rate of VC4-4C, VC4-8C, VC4-16C, VC4-64C, and VC4-nC (2 ≤ n ≤ 64).

Creation procedure

Figure 35 described the work flow of creating the concatenation circuit.

F I G U R E 35 CR E AT E C O N C A T E N AT I O N C I R C U I T

Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the concatenation circuit







Select the path



Data Service Circuit Definition

Data service circuits refer to Ethernet service circuits. You may implement service configuration at the system side by creating Ethernet service circuits when ZXMP S320, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S360, ZXMP S380 and ZXMP S390 need to transmit Ethernet services.

Creation procedure

Ethernet Service Configuration

This chapter introduces the configuration flow of ZXONM E300 for the transmission of Ethernet services through SDH equipment. In addition, the detailed configuration procedures of VLAN services are described based on a network example composed of ZXMP S320 equipment with SFE4 boards.

Configuration of Ethernet Service Transparent Transmission The transparent transmission of Ethernet service is performed by the transparent transmission Ethernet boards. These boards provide paths for point-to-point transparent transmission, and bind user ports with VCG (EOS) ports (i.e. system ports) in a one-to-one way. Data frames are only forwarded between the user port and the VCG port bound together.

The equipment and boards that support transparent transmission of Ethernet service are described in Table 29.

ZXMP S200

TFE board of ZXMP S200 is responsible for managing the Ethernet function of physical board SMB and the Ethernet plug-in boards. The physical board SMB can process 8 Ethernet services which can be performed by 4x10/100 M transparent transmission Ethernet electrical ports on the SMB board and another 4 Ethernet ports on SEC board, TFEX4 board or TFEX4B board. Among these boards,

SEC provides 4x10/100 M Ethernet electrical ports (layer 2 switching supported). TFEx4 provides 4 10/100 M transparent transmission Ethernet electrical ports. TFEx4B provides 4 100 M transparent transmission Ethernet optical ports.

TFEx4 and TFEx4B are set in the slot of subrack (slot No. is 11 on EMS). However, it is no necessary to configure the board on the EMS manually because the EMS can set the “TFE INTERFACE” board in slot 11 automatically based on the version of software and hardware of TFE.

connect type and if to use the user port. The setting principles are listed in Table 33. Click Apply button to make the settings valid.

T AB L E 33 P O R T P R O P E R T I E S O F E T H E R N E T AD AP T E R M AN AG E R D I AL O G B O X

Items Descriptions Remark

If use

If to start the user port. It is a mandatory item. The non-used user ports should not be started.

User ports 1-4 are corresponding to 1-4 Ethernet interfaces of physical board SMB.

User ports 5-8 are corresponding to 1-4 Ethernet interfaces of TFEx4 board or TFEx4B board.

Choose the speed

Choose the speed at user port. It is a mandatory item. Ethernet electrical interface

supports AUTO (auto-negotiation), 10 M and 100 M.

Ethernet optical interface supports AUTO (auto-negotiation) and 100 M.

Choose the duplex mode

Choose the duplex mode at user port. It is a mandatory item. Ethernet electrical interface and optical interface both support AUTO (auto-negotiation) and FULL (full-duplex), besides, Ethernet electrical port supports HALF (half-duplex).

Speed and duplex mode of the docking device and local device should be consistent with each other. For example, the port of the remote device is set as AUTO, then that of the local device should be set as AUTO as well.

Flow Control

Select the flow control function. Usually, flow control is used if the bandwidth at the system side is lack.

If the bandwidth at the system side is lack, meanwhile the docking device and local device both support and use the flow control function, the transmission flow will be reduced to avoid packet loss.

Cross connect type

Select the type of cable for FE electrical interface; the type includes MDIX Auto, MDIX Constraint and MDI Constraint. For ZXMP S200 V1.00, the type of cable is MDIX Auto by default.

Two ports are connected with cable, then, If configured as MDIX Auto,

the ports can self-negotiate with both crossover cable and straight through cable; if configured as MDIX Constraint or MDI Constraint, the ports must be connected with crossover cable; if configured as MDIX and MDI respectively, the two ports must be connected with straight through cable.

If the type of cross connect and the type of cable are mismatched, the port will




be in linkdown state. If the speed and the

working duplex mode are selected as one of the constraint modes, the type of cross connect should be configured as MDIX Constraint or MDI Constraint; if the speed and the working duplex mode are selected as auto mode, the type of cross connect should be configured as MDIX Auto. Otherwise, the service would be influenced.

ii. Set VLAN mark

In the VLAN Mark page of the Ethernet adapter manager dialog box, set the parameters of VLAN process mode, PVID, Qos PRI, transparent port and the port for link transparent according to the principles listed in Table 34. Click Apply button after configurations to make them valid.

T AB L E 34 S E T T I N G S O F VLAN M AR K P A G E O F TFE BO AR D


VLAN process mode

Select the VLAN process mode at user port. For ZXMP S200 V1.00, the user port only supports transparent transmission mode, for ZXMP S200 V2.00 or above version, the user port supports transparent transmission mode and TLS access mode.

Under the transparent transmission mode, the user port and VCG (EOS) should be corresponding one-to-one, so the service can be transmitted transparently between the two ports.

Under the TLS access mode, no matter whether the packet received takes the VLAN label or not, it will be exchanged after added VLAN tag according to the priorities of TPID, PVID and Qos.

If TPID in the VALN label of the packet is matched with TPID of the board, the packet will be transferred after the outmost tag is stripped; if the TPID in the VALN tag is not matched with TPID of the board, the packet will be transferred directly.

PVID Set VLAN ID from 1 to 4095

This item is valid only if the user port is under the TLS access mode.

Qos priority Set the priorities of Qos service from 1 to 8. The bigger the value is; the

This item is valid only if the user port is under the TLS access mode.




higher the service priority is.

Link transport state

Set if the user port support link transport state.

This item is valid only if the user port is under transparent transmission mode and the GFP encapsulation mode is adopted.

For ZXMP S200 V1.00, TFE board only supports transparent transmission mode.

The user ports of SFE series boards are 10/100 M Ethernet interfaces, and those of SGE series boards are 1000 M Ethernet optical interfaces. Except the SFE board of ZXMP S330, “B” in the board ID indicates that the user ports are optical; otherwise, the user ports are electrical.

The user ports of SFE board in ZXMP S330 and ZXMP S325 support both 10/100 M Ethernet optical interfaces and 10/100 M Ethernet electrical interfaces. In EMS, these two kinds of Ethernet interfaces are identified by the software and hardware version, where “0310” represents for SFE electrical interface board, and “1310” represents for SFE optical interface board.

The system ports of SFE/SGE series boards adopt the TU12 virtual concatenation. Each system port has the minimum granularity of 2 M and the maximum granularity of 100 M.

Currently, SFE/SGE series boards go out of production

[Steps]

The type and quantity of user port is determined by the board type

The port configuration will not take effect until the port is enabled.

VLAN Mode

Includes the access mode and the trunk mode: Access Mode: The received data frames carry no VLAN ID. They are added with a VLAN layer according to the PVID of this port, and then are exchanged. Trunk Mode: The received data frames must have VLAN mark, and

If the port adopts the access mode, it is necessary to set the port speed, duplex mode, and PVID.




those with no VLAN ID will be filtered out. The transmit side does not strip VLAN.

Speed Select work speed for the port.

Duplex Mode Select work mode for the port.

The speed of the abutting equipment should comply with the duplex mode.

PVID In access mode, the port will add VLAN ID to the received data frame.

Value range from 1 to 4095

Flow Control

Once the flow control of a user port is enabled: The flow control should also

be enabled for the port of user equipment which connects to this user port.

The flow control should be enabled for the corresponding system port simultaneously.

QoS Priority

Flow control and QoS are two methods to handle network congestion. They have opposite principles and cannot be used at the same time.

If the system port bandwidth is less than the corresponding user port traffic, flow control is recommended for user port and system port.

If multiple user ports share one system port, QoS should be enabled.

If a user port employs the WFQ mode of QoS, QoS priority should be selected. Each QoS priority corresponds to a bandwidth ratio, and the bandwidth is configured in the system port configuration.

Self Study MAC

Set if the user port supports self-study of MAC address. If this function is disabled, the port has to obtain the destination address via the static MAC address configuration.

It is recommended to enable this function.

OutRateLimit Limit the rate of data frames sent by the user port. There is no limit by default.

Trunking Group

Bind all the ports with the same physical type to one logical port so as to increase bandwidth capacity of link, evenly distribute data into multiple physical links, and protect links using redundant routes.

It is optional and can be configured according to service requirement.

ii. Configure the system ports

Configure the system ports in the Data Port Attribute page, Path Group Config page, Set Port Capacity page, and LCAS page. The configuration flowchart is shown in Figure 44, and the parameters are listed in Table 37.

Port Use State

The type and quantity of system port is determined by the board type


VLAN Mode Includes the access mode and the trunk mode: Refer to Table 36.

The trunk mode is recommended for system port.

Pvid In access mode, the port will add VLAN ID to the received data frame. Value range: 1 to 4095

Flow Control

Once the flow control of a system port is enabled, the flow control should be enabled for the corresponding user port simultaneously.

QoS Priority

Flow control and QoS are two methods to handle network congestion. They have opposite principles and cannot be used at the same time.

If the system port bandwidth is less than the corresponding user port traffic, flow control is recommended for user port and system port.

If multiple user ports share one system port, QoS should be enabled.

If a system port employs the WFQ mode of QoS, the relationship between the QoS priority and the bandwidth must be configured.

Path Group Config

Configure VC12 virtual concatenation group.

Set Port Capacity Assign path groups to system ports.

The system ports at both ends of Ethernet traffic must have the same transmission capacity. Otherwise, the traffic is blocked.

LCAS Config

LCAS refers to the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme. When the user bandwidth changes, LCAS can adjust the number of VC paths in a virtual concatenation group to prevent traffic interruption or only cause transient interruption.

When the LCAS is enabled, if a VC in a path group fails, the system will automatically delete the invalid VC, and the remaining normal VCs can keep transmitting traffic. When the invalid VC recovers, the system will add the VC into the virtual concatenation group.

The LCAS function is recommended for system ports.

iii. Configure the board property

In the Data Card Property page, set the running mode and MAC address of the board. Parameter and configuration principles are listed in Table 38.



T AB L E 38 P AR AM E T E R S O F SFE/SGE B O AR D P R O P E R T Y

Running Mode


Default Mode

The port forwards data packets by searching the MAC address table, thus implements the arbitrary switching between user ports and system ports.

Enabling two or more ports in this mode on a board may result in broadcast storm, and finally result in traffic failure

Transparent Mode

The MAC address and VLAN are shielded. The point-to-point transparent transmission path is provided. Data frames can be forwarded only between the user port and the system port that are bound to each other.

It is similar to the transparent transmission by physical channel, and can transparently transmit various protocol frames including 802.1x frames.

If a board employs the transparent mode, the VLAN mode configuration of the user port becomes invalid.

VLAN Mode

Data frames are forwarded by the assigned VLAN and by searching the MAC address table. Traffic between different VLANs is blocked for the sake of isolation and security.

It can ensure the traffic security. However, when the traffic contains a large number of VLANs, each VLAN needs to be configured independently, which requires a lot of work.

Virtual Channel Mode

Functions which are similar with those of VLAN mode: The frame is transferred by identifying VLAN and MAC address. The services among different VLANs can not inter-communicate, which guarantee the security and insulation of the service.

Functions which are not similar with those of VLAN mode: Virtual channel mode provides a different way to process the frame. Under the virtual channel mode, no matter whether the frame received at the port carry or not carry VLAN ID, the board will add a layer of VLAN (that is QinQ) to the frame; Under the trunk mode, the frame received at the port should carry VLAN ID, moreover, the VLAN ID must be consistent with the VLAN ID of the port, otherwise, the frame will be filtrated.

TPID under the virtual channel mode is 0x88A which does not support RSTP.



Running Mode


MAC Address

Description Remarks

Input the MAC address of the board in HEX format.

The MAC addresses should be unique to avoid broadcast storm.

4. Configure VLAN and STP

If the running mode of the Ethernet board is Default Mode or Transparent Mode, go to step 5 directly. Otherwise, follow the flowchart shown in Figure 45 to configure VLAN and STP. The parameters are listed in Table 39.

Independent VLAN Learning

It is abbreviated as IVL, which means the MAC address table contains both VLAN ID and MAC address

Default option.

Shared VLAN Learning

It is abbreviated as SVL, which means the MAC address table only contains MAC address.

Only used for special requirement.

TPID




0x8810

It is the standard byte specified by 802.1Q, and usually is used for interworking with equipment from other manufacturer.

0x88A8

TPID is the ID which identifies the outmost VLAN layer. It has two options: 0x8100 and 0x88A8. TPID of the local device should be consistent with the TPID of the docking device.

TPID + VLAN ID can implement the VLAN extended function, where the TPID and VLAN ID must be the same as those of the docking port.

It is used for interworking with the SFE/SGE series board which is set to the Virtual Channel Mode.

Other Parameters

Items Description

IP Address

Set the IP address of the board, which can be configured according to requirement. By remote ping function of the data board, the IP address is just used to judge whether the equipment and the board are normally connected. Hence, IP address has no influence on the service.

Set MAC Aging

Set the aging time for MAC address. The default value is 300 seconds. The value can range from 1 second to 30000 seconds. Generally, keep the default setting.

JUMBO Configuration

Select if all the ports of board support ultra-long frame longer than 1518 bytes. “Support” by default.

Broadcast Limit Configuration

Set whether the board has broadcast limitation or not, the default setting is “Not Limit”. Currently, SE board of ZXMP S200 does not support this function.

Ping Enable

Set whether the board supports Ping function or not, the default setting is disabled. When the ping function is enabled, ping operation can be executed between PC computer and board, also between the boards. If PC computer pings the board, IP addresses of the computer and the board should be in the same network segment, however, ping operation between the boards has no this limitation.

LACP Priority

Set LACP priorities of the board. Now, this function is invalid for SE board. The LACP protocol will be rejoined if the setting is modified, which maybe influence the services, hence, the default setting is recommended.

Spanning Tree Protocol

Select spanning tree protocol for the board, only Multi Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is supported by now.

MSTP Protocol

Select the configuration state of MSTP, including disable, enable and relay. The default setting is recommended.

If configured as “Enable”, MSTP protocol is used normally, and the board will process the received message with MSTP protocol;

If configured as “Disable”, The board will throw away the received message with MSTP protocol;

If configured as “Relay”, the board will directly transfer the received message with MSTP protocol to all of the port, which indicates that the MSTP message will not be restrained by VLAN, so pay more attentions to the “Relay” mode in the engineering.



Use the default value for parameters not described in this table.

4. Configure user ports and VCG (EOS) ports

In the client operation window, select an NE equipped with the SE board. Click the menu item Device Config -> Ethernet Management -> Ethernet adapter manager. Enable the user ports and VCG (EOS) ports, and configure their properties. The configuration includes the following steps.

i. Configure port properties

Enable and configure user ports and VCG (EOS) ports on the PortProperty page of Ethernet adapter manager dialog box. The configuration flowchart of user ports is shown in Figure 46, and that of system ports is shown in Figure 47. The parameters and configuration principles are listed in Table 42. For ZXMP S200, it is necessary to enable and configure user ports and internal Ethernet ports.

Note: 1-4 internal Ethernet ports of SE board are corresponding to 5-8 VCG (EOS) ports of TFE board, therefore, the 1-4 internal Ethernet ports and 5-8 VCG (EOS) ports should be configured. The configurations of VCG (EOS) ports refer to Configuring TFE Board. The configurations of 1-4 internal Ethernet ports of SE board are consistent with those of TFE board. The operations of internal Ethernet ports are similar with those of VCG (EOS) ports.

For ZXMP S200, SE board does not provide VCG (EOS) configuration.

Auxiliary Parameters Description Remarks

Access Mode PVID, QoS PRI

The received data frames carry no VLAN ID. They are added with a VLAN layer according to the PVID of this port, and then are exchanged.

The data frames with VLAN ID will be filtered out, and the transmit side will strip the outmost VLAN ID.

Flow control and QoS PRI of a port cannot be set at the same time.

This mode is available when the port is connected with the device which dose not support receiving or transmitting VLAN label, i.e. PC.

TLS Mode PVID, QoS PRI

No matter if the received data frames carry VLAN ID, they will be added with one VLAN layer according to the PVID at the port, and then be exchanged.

The transmit side will strip the outmost VLAN ID.

Flow control and QoS PRI of a port cannot be set at the same time.

This mode is available when VLAN stack (QinQ) is used.



Process Mode of VLAN

Auxiliary Parameters Description Remarks

Transparent Mode

Transparently transmit Port ID, link Transport State

The received data frames are transparently transmitted to the destination port. Neither of the receive end nor the transmit end processes the VLAN.

Traffic is transmitted between the two ports which have identical transparent transmission port IDs.

Under this mode, the ports should be configured in pairs. The two ports are specified as one pair by IDs. Hence, ID of each transparent port can not conflict with the other ID in one pair. For ZXMP S200, the SE board has the IDs from 1-4; for other devices, the SE boards have the IDs from 1-8.

If “Support for Link Transport State” is enabled, the port can transport the link state.

Trunk Mode -

The received data frames must have VLAN ID, and those with no VLAN ID will be filtered out. The transmit side does not strip VLAN.

This mode is available when the port is connected with the device which is at the convergence point or folk point, also available when the VCG (EOS) ports are connected with each other.

The VLAN Mark settings are valid only for the enabled ports. The bigger the Qos priority value is, the higher the service priority is. SE board only support two kinds of QoS priorities: 1 and 8.

iii. Configure other optional items

In the Ethernet adapter manager dialog box, the QoS Config, Trunk Configuration, Loop Check, Speed Limit, LacpProtocol Attribute, L2 ControlFrame Config and Port Mstp Protocol Attribute pages are all optional. Configure them according to service requirements.

Table 44 describes the optional pages.



T AB L E 44 OP T I O N AL P AG E S I N E T H E R N E T AD AP T E R M AN AG E R D I AL O G B O X O F SE B O AR D

Page Description Remarks

QoS Config Set the QoS state of each port to “Absolutely Priority” or “None”. Absolutely Priority: QoS

function is enabled at the port. When the shared bandwidth of services is insufficient, the system shall guarantee the QoS by sending service with higher priority and meanwhile trying the best to send service with lower priority.

None: QoS function is disabled at the port.

If the flow control has been enabled at a port, the QoS setting of this port is invalid.

For a port employing the access mode or TLS mode, the bigger the “QoS PRI” is, the higher priority does the corresponding service have.

Generally, if the QoS is set to “Absolutely Priority”, it shall cooperate with the speed limit type of “Port+802.1Q” and the limit orient of “Entrance” which shall be configured in the “Speed Limit” page.

Trunk Configuration

The trunk function refers to binding multiple Ethernet physical ports to one logical port so as to increase the bandwidth capacity of the link, evenly distribute data into multiple physical links, and protect links using redundant routes.

All the ports in a Trunk group should have identical port type. The number of ports can be 2, 4, or 8. And the selected ports must be adjacent.

The board will report configuration failure in the EMS if the configuration is incorrect.

Loop Check

Choose if to enable the loopback check function of the VCG (EOS) port. If the loopback check function is enabled: Upon detection of loopback

in SDH path, the related VCG (EOS) port will be automatically disabled so as to prevent data service broadcast storm caused by VCG loopback.

When the loopback is cancelled, the related VCG (EOS) port will automatically return to the status configured in the EMS

It is recommended to enable the loopback check function which is enabled by default.

For ZXMP S200, SE board dose not support the loop check function.

Speed Limit

Limit the speed of “Entrance” or “Out” direction at each port: Speed limit of the “Entrance”

direction: supports speed

Shall be configured only when user has special requirement for speed limit of “Entrance” direction. Generally, it is not




limit types of “By Port”, “Port+VLAN”, or “Port+802.1Q”; where the latter two types are valid only in the Trunk mode. All of the three types need to be configured with the speed limit and the burst length.

Speed limit of the “Out” direction: only supports the speed limit type of “By Port”, and can be set arbitrarily.

recommended to be configured.For the VCG (EOS) port not configured with speed limit, the default speed limit is consistent with the port’s capacity configuration and can automatically adapt to the LCAS state.

LACP Protocol Attribute

Set LACP protocol attributes including NegotiateMode, TimeoutMode and PortLacpPriority

LACP protocol should be used with Trunk function. Normally, when the LACP function is enabled, the dynamic Trunk group should be configured; or else, the static Trunk group should be configured.

If no necessary, the items in LacpProtocolAttribute page should keep the default settings.

L2 ControlFrame Config

Set the rule of processing L2 control frame, including ProcessRange, L2 ControlFrame Type and ProcessStyle: ProcessRange: the process

range bases on port or board. Select the corresponding ports from the left list box when the process range is based on port. The configuration takes effect only on the selected ports but not on the other non-selected ports. On the other side, when the process range is based on board, the configuration takes effect on all of the ports of the board.

L2 ControlFrame Type: Set the type of frame protocol.

ProcessStyle: Set the process style for the frame, including Same User Service, Block and Pass. Same User Service indicates processing the L2 control frame as processing general user service, that is, the L2 control frame is transferred and processed according to the port mode; Block indicates throwing away the

-




L2 control frame; Pass indicates transferring the L2 control frame without any modification.

Port Mstp Protocol Attribute

Set the attribute of MSTP protocol, including StpPortEnable, StpPortConnectType, StpEdgePort, IdentifySTPFrame and MstZoneSelect. StpPortEnable: It is the

mandatory item. This item indicates if to enable or disable MSTP protocol. The default setting is disabled. Enabled when the port runs MSTP protocol.

StpPortConnectType: It is not a mandatory item. This item indicates that the network connected with the port is point-to-point or share. The default setting is point to pint network. However, if the port is connected to HUB or is working in the half-duplex mode, the share network is recommended.

StpEdgePort: It is not a mandatory item. This item indicates it is a common port or edge port in the network. The default setting is common port. Herein, edge port is the port connected with the other network topology.

IdentifySTPFrame: It is not a mandatory item. This item indicates the frame format is identified by the port. The default setting is IEEE standard format which is recommended when board and board or board and ZTE’s switch are communicated with each other. On the other side, when the board is communicated with the other company’s device, Cisco custom format is recommended. For the different ports with physical connections, the IdentifySTPFrame must be consistent with each other;

The items which are not mandatory should be configured based on the actual network topology.

For a trunk group, the members should have the same configurations.




otherwise, the communication is obstructed, which will take influence on the topology calculation.

MstZoneSelect: It is not a mandatory item. This item indicates whether the port and the other port are in a same zone. The default setting is auto which is recommended when board and board or board and ZTE’s switch are communicated with each other. The port is configured as constraint (make the port of local in the same zone with the port of the terminal) based on the following two conditions: The port is docked with the other company’s device; The both docking ports have the same domain name, version, instance which are same with the mapping relations of VLAN.

the MAC address table. Traffic between different VLANs is blocked for the sake of isolation and security.

Only the VLAN data bearing the same PVID as the user port can be forwarded, otherwise they will be filtered out.

MAC Address

Description Remarks

Input the MAC address of the board in HEX format.

MAC address must be unique. By default, each RSEA board installed has a unique MAC address. When setting it manually, the second bit of MAC address cannot be “1”, since the system considers the MAC address with the second bit of “1” as the multicast address.

4. Configure the user isolation

Follow the flowchart shown in Figure 53 to configure the user isolation.

Note: The VLAN IDs of different users can be identical, but the VLAN IDs of the same user cannot be identical.

5. Configure services

i. Select a node and the menu item Device Config -> Ethernet Management -> RPR Ethernet Service Attribute, to set the



attribute of RPR service for the VLAN classified in step 3 in the pop-up dialog box.

The RPR traffic is classified into three types depending on the QoS: type A, B, and C, with priorities of A>B>C.

Type A

Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Reserved BW, where BW refers to bandwidth.

The traffic of type A shares the reserved bandwidth in RPR ring. Even in case of idleness, this bandwidth cannot be occupied by traffic of other types. If type A traffic exceeds the upper limit of the bandwidth, all of them will be discarded. It is not controlled by the fairness algorithm, and has invariable rates. The delay and jitter effect on them is the smallest.

It is applicable to analog Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) traffic.

Type B

Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Min BW, where BW refers to bandwidth.

Type B traffic is classified into B-type CIR traffic and B-type EIR traffic.

The B-type CIR traffic occupies guaranteed bandwidth and are not controlled by the fairness algorithm. When the bandwidth is idle, it can be occupied by other traffic.

The B-type EIR traffic occupies bandwidth between the limited bandwidth and the guaranteed bandwidth, which can be shared with other nodes, and it is controlled by the fairness algorithm.

It is applicable to traffic which is insensitive to delay but requires bandwidth guarantee. For example, some data traffic with high requirement can occupy more bandwidth when there is idle bandwidth.

Type C

Auxiliary parameters: Max BW, where BW refers to bandwidth.

The traffic of type C is processed in an attempt, which has no bandwidth guarantee and is controlled by the fairness algorithm. When the traffic exceeds the bandwidth limit, it will be discarded completely. It has a large delay and jitter.

It is applicable to data services with lower requirements.

Note: One VLAN can only have one traffic type, and different VLANs can have identical traffic type.

ii. Select a node in the RPR ring and the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config.



In the Service Config dialog box, establish the connection between the SPAN port of the RSEA board and the optical line board according to the timeslot cross-connect configuration method.

The two SPAN ports should be connected to two optical line boards respectively.

Note:

The VC4 paths occupied by two RPR SPAN ports should respectively connect with two optical line boards.

If the rate of RPR ring network is 622 Mbit/s, i.e. the rate of path group at RPR SPAN port is 622 Mbit/s, the AU4 path of the abutting optical line board should be configured with AU4-4C real concatenation.

6. Configure the optical line boards for the passed-by node

In the client operation window, select a passed-by site and click the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config.

In the Service Config dialog box, establish the pass-through connection for the passed-by optical line board.

Note: If the rate of path group at RPR SPAN port is 622 Mbit/s, the AU4 paths of the passed-by optical line boards should be configured with AU4-4C real concatenation.

Configuring RSEB-RPR Board When the RPR technology is adopted to transmit the Ethernet service, the user ports and VCG (EOS) ports are all located at the user side.

Generally, the user port accesses Ethernet traffic directly, and the VCG (EOS) port serves for connection with the system port of smart Ethernet series boards (SFE/SGE). After L2 layer switching, the traffic pass through the RPR system port to enter the RPR ring network.

The RSEB-RPR board provides RPR port, VCG (RPR SPAN) port, user port, and VCG (EOS) port. The configuration procedure is described below:

1. Install boards for an NE

Double-click an NE icon in the client operation window to enter the Card Management dialog box. Install the RSEB-RPR board, necessary functional boards, and optical line boards for adding/dropping Ethernet traffic.

Automatic selection

The RPR traffic selects the shortest path of the port ring for transmission automatically. The shortest path is determined by the hopping number of the site looping from ring 0 (SPAN 1) and ring 1 (SPAN 2) to each site in the ring network.

Manual or forced selection

Sets the RPR traffic to run on ring 0 (SPAN 1) or ring 1 (SPAN 2) forcedly.

Generally, the manual selection mode is applied to the traffic of type C which has no requirement for the guarantee bandwidth, so as to obtain the maximum network bandwidth.



Note: When steering protection occurs in the RPR ring network, manual selection is disabled automatically to avoid traffic interruption.

iv. Set the MAC address of a static destination site

By default, the RSEB board learns RPR address and MAC address automatically.

Note: With the static MAC address adopted, RPR traffic can only be transmitted among the designated MAC addresses in the RPR ring network without RPR exchange. It is usually applicable to the point-to-point traffic.

Configuring MPLS Ethernet Service [Introduction]

MPLS Ethernet processing board is employed in access layer or convergence layer of Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The Ethernet message is processed via the flow method. The board supports multi switch method including MPLS, VLAN, etc., meanwhile, provides virtual bridge function and guarantees the quality of point to point service. Hence, it is one of the important boards to construct virtual private line (VPL) and virtual private network (VPN). The SE boards are listed in Table 51.

VCG : 64 ZXMP S385

MSE board divides into MSEA and MSEB. MSEA supports Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVPLAN) but MSEB does not support EVPLAN. In EMS, select software/hardware version to differentiate MSE and FE interface types whose configurations are similar.

User port can be configured as user Ethernet port or MPLS Ethernet port via EMS. User Ethernet port of this board, which is same with those of other boards, is used to access Ethernet service; MPLS Ethernet port is used to access Ethernet service carrying with MPLS label.



VCG port can be configured as VCG (EOS) port or VCG (GFP MPLS) port. VCG (EOS) port, which is same with those of other boards, is used to connect with SDH side; VCG (GFP MPLS) port is used to connect with the Ethernet service carrying with MPLS label. The service path is VCG path, and the message format is GFP+MPLS label+ Normal Ethernet Message.

MPLS Ethernet processing board accesses or converges the distributed service to the trunk network or backbone network, then classifies the service by flow, identifies the object address, controls the speed, schedules and shapes the service. Following, transports the service by Ethernet port or by the SONET/SDH ports after encapsulated via GFP/HDLC/X.86 protocol.

MSEA board supports EVPLAN, Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL). MSEB board supports EPL and EVPL. Hereinafter, MSE represents MSEA and MSEB.

Configuring EPL Service EPL is a point to point service which transparently transports Ethernet service from point to point, does not perform layer 2 switch and self-study MAC address. EPL service of each user is carried via private SDH path, which indicates the user occupies the bandwidth of its SDH path alone.

EPL service is configured on MSE board by configuring the two ports of MSE board in pair; therefore, the service is transparently transported between the two ports.

[Steps]

If the port is connected to MPLS Ethernet port of the other board, this item must be set as the MAC address of the other board. Otherwise, it is no necessary to set this item.



iii. Configure VLAN mark

In the VLAN Mark page of Ethernet adapter manager dialog box, select the VLAN processing mode for user port and VCG port. Because MSE board only supports the trunk mode, so the settings in this page keep in default.

iv. Configure the other items

Loop Check page of Ethernet adapter manager dialog box is an optional page. The configurations are according to the service requirements.

The introductions of Loop Check page are listed in Table 55.

T AB L E 55 C O N F I G U R AT I O N S O F L O O P CH E C K P AG E

Page Description Remark

Loop Check

Detecting the loop of VCG (EOS) port. Only when the VCG (EOS) port detects that the first activation timeslot is looped, the VCG (EOS) port would be closed.

If the VCG (EOS) port is closed, which MSE board can not detect, meanwhile, EMS has no correlative alarm information.

The loop detect is invalid when other timeslots are looped except the first activation timeslot.

Currently, MSE board does not support Trunk configuration, LACP protocol and L2 control frame configuration.

Tip: Another way to get into Ethernet adapter manager dialog box is:

Time Slot Type

Select the timeslot type of VCG. MSE board supports three levels of virtual concatenations: VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12.

One port supports only one level of virtual concatenation at a time;

Each VCG can configure 8 VC-4s or 24 VC-3s or 63 VC-12s at most.

The maximum capacity at system side is 16 VC-4s. Only the VC-12s in AU1-AU4 are available. The number of VC-12 in all VCG port must be less than 252 totally.

Package Type

Select GFP as the encapsulation protocol of Ethernet frame

Currently, MSE board only supports GFP protocol




LCAS Config

Select the type of LCAS configuration, including Bi-Dir, Uni-Dir and Non-LCAS. For Uni-Dir type, the timeslots which are enabled LCAS function should be set at both the receiving direction and sending direction.

If the type of LCAS Config is not Non-LCAS, MSE board supports if to activate the

added time slots. If the time slots are not activated, which means the path on the time slot can not be used.

MSE board does not support to cancel the time slots. For example, five LCAS time slots are configured in one VCG group. The only way of cancelling two of them is to deactivate these two time slots; If these two timeslots are also wanted by the other VCG group, the VCG group which these two time slots originally belongs to must be cancelled, then a new VCG group must be configured. Otherwise, the configuration will be failed.

Delay Time

If LCAS is enabled, in order to avoid the LCAS protection and SDH protection works at the same time, the LCAS delay time must be set. When an alarm happens, LCAS protocol does not take effect until the alarm is still existed after a delay time.

The item is invalid if the LCAS Config is Non-LCAS.

Currently, MSE board does not support this function.

Configuring EVPL Service EVPL is a point to point service. The difference from EPL is that different users can share the link bandwidth. MSE board adopts MPLS L2 VPN to achieve the EVPL service which means to establish a simulative service between different MSE boards in one VPN. Each MSE board which is also called Virtual Forwarded Instance (VFI) is a node in the VPN. The VFI does not support L2 switch and self-study MAC address, that is, the Ethernet service enters into the Label Switched Path (LSP) directly.

[Steps]

1. Configure the properties of the board

Port properties and VCG port capacity are according to the step 1-step 4 described in Configuring EPL Service.

LSP Name LSP name in EMS -

LSP ID LSP identifier in EMS LSP ID in one node is unique.

Config Mode

Configuration modes of LSP, including Static Route Config, auto and Half Auto. Static Route Config: In this mode, user

should specify all of the LSP parameters including QoS attributes, peak speed, burst length, source/destination node, output port and label of source node, input port and label of destination node, input/output port and label of the middle node.

auto: In this mode, user just needs to specify QoS attributes, peak speed, burst length and source/destination node, except any input/output label of node and the middle node which will be set by the protocol automatically,

Half Auto: In this mode, user needs to specify QoS attributes, peak speed, burst length, source/destination node and the middle node, except any input/output label which is set by the protocol automatically.

The differentiation of auto mode and Half Auto mode is that the Half Auto mode must configure all of the passed-by nodes of LSP, but auto mode just configures the source and destination node.

QoS Property

QoS property, including (Enhanced Forwarded) EF, (Assured Forwarded) AF and (Best Effort) BE EF: called as A class service, enhanced

forward the service to guarantee the Committed Information Rate (CIR) of service.

AF: called as B class service, guarantee the maximum speed of the service is CIR, take the best effort to forward service whose speed is beyond CIR. However, the maximum speed of service should not be over Peak Information Rate (PIR).

BE: called as C class service, take the best effort to forward the service.

The sequence of priority of the service is EF, AF, BE. The priority of EF is the highest.

Peak Speed The maximum bandwidth of LSP, the minimum peak speed is 64kbit/s, the maximum peak speed is 1250000 kbit/s.

-

Pledge Speed

The minimum bandwidth of LSP. Only AF service can pledge the speed and the peak speed.

When the network is blocked, CIR of AF service can be guaranteed, but the bandwidth of PIR maybe occupied by the services with higher or equivalent priority.

nrtVBR: non-real-time Variable Bit Rate. Similar to rtVBR but the real-time feature is poorer than rtVBR.

UBR: Unspecified Bit Rate. The difference between UBR and VBR is that VBR reserves some bandwidth for adjustment, while UBR finds idle bandwidth by itself. If UBR finds idle bandwidth, it will occupy it. If not, it cannot adjust the bit rate.

ABR: Available Bit Rate

Major parameters

PCR: Peak Cell Rate, with the unit of cell/second.

1 cell/second = 53 × 8 bit/s.

SCR: Sustainable Cell Rate, with the unit of cell/second.

1 cell/second = 53 × 8 bit/s.

Chapter 5 - Common SDH Management Operations


v. Select the NE in the NE Name list, and click the Send button to issue the error resistance setting to the selected NE.

The Reset button can be clicked to restore the default misconnection resistance settings. With the default settings, the misconnection resistance function will be enabled only when all destinations or all sources are lost.

4. Save the misconnection resistance mode

Enter the MS Protection dialog box again and click the Save Topology button to save the misconnection resistance settings.

5. Repeat step 1 to step 4 to enable, set, and save the misconnection resistance function for the other NEs in the MS protection group.

Note: For each NE in the MS protection group, the misconnection resistance mode must be the same.

6. Calculate the misconnection resistance

i. Select an NE in the client operation window, and select the SNMS > Circuit Service Management menu item to pop up the Circuit Service Management dialog box.

ii. Select the APSBusyMgr -> CalMisconn menu item. If the operation is successful, a message box pops up, prompting “calculate misconnection is success”.

ii. Select all MSPG and click OK to pop up the Query APS Misconnection dialog box.

iii. Click the Query NE State button to query APS service condition and send the command as well.

[Result]

If the command is sent successfully, misconnection during protection switching for the MSP ring will be prevented.

Setting APS Byte [Purpose]

The Automatic Protection Switching (APS) byte serves for transmitting the MSP switching information. Only when the APS byte is transmitted correctly, can the multiplex section protection switching work normally.



The value of APS byte can range from 0 to 3, and the default value is 0.

An NE can be included in multiple MSP groups, when it has been configured into a logical subnet.

The ZXONM E300 supports the setting of APS byte in the unit of port, thus guaranteeing normal working of each MSP group.

The principles to set the APS byte are described as follows.

The APS byte of two ports physically connected in the same MS ring must be the same, to guarantee correct transmission of APS byte between two nodes.

If one port belongs to different MSP groups, the APS byte of each MSP group must be unique.

ZXMP S320 and ZXMP S360 do not support the setting of APS byte, and their default APS byte is 0. Therefore, the APS byte must be set to zero for the optical ports connected with the ZXMP S320 or ZXMP S360 equipment.

[Applicable NEs]


Take the MSP ring 1 consisting of NE A, B, C, and D in the network presented in Chapter 1 as an example.

[Steps]

1. Configure the two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring

Create a MSP group and configure the MS protection relation according to the description in the section of Configuration of Two-fiber Bidirectional MSP Ring in Chapter 1.

2. In the MS Protection dialog box, check the APS byte of the abutting port at the neighbor NE, as shown in Figure 84;



F I G U R E 84 MS P R O T E C T I O N D I AL O G B O X

3. Select the Config radio button in the Operation Mode area;

4. Modify the APS byte of the local port to be same as the value displayed in Neighbor Ne Aps Byte;

5. Click the Apply button to save the APS value;

6. Repeat step 1 to step 7 to set and save the APS byte for the NE B, C, and D in the MSP group respectively.

[Result]

Check if all the NEs can work normally.

Configuring DCC [Purpose]

The data communication channel (DCC) carries the communication data between NEs, including the regenerator section DCC bytes (DCCr) and the multiplex section DCC byte (DCCm).

Table 72 lists the DCC use configuration supported by NEs of different types.

2 M tributary Do not support. ET1 board of ZXMP S200

Through configuring the DCC use and changing the DCC byte of the port, the following functions can be provided:

The communication rate of NEs will be improved with the DCC configuration of DCCr + DCCm.

As long as the DCC byte of the abutting optical interfaces keeps the same, any line port can use DCCr or DCCm to carry the communication data separately.

When the DCC is not used for optical interfaces, non-communication data can be transmitted through the pass-through connection between DCCr and DCCm among different ports with the overhead cross-connect function of the EMS.

The DCC byte can be configured separately and differently in the receiving direction and the transmitting direction.

Caution:

The DCC must be configured as DCCr for the optical card used for regeneration.

If the DCC is used to transmit communication data, the DCC setting must be the same for the abutting optical interfaces to guarantee the communication data transmission.

[Applicable NEs]

The applicable NEs areZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, ZXMP S385 and ZXMP S200.

[Steps]

1. Select an applicable NE in the topology.

2. Select the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> DCC Use Set to enter the DCC Use Set dialog box.

Tip: You can also enter the DCC Use Set dialog box in the following way:

Double-click an applicable NE in the topology to pop up the Card Management dialog box. And then right-click an optical card to be modified, and select the DCC Use Set menu item in the shortcut menu to pop up the DCC Use Set dialog box.



3. In the Resource list box of the dialog box, select a card. Then click

the button and change it to the button. The right side of the dialog box will display all the ports and DCC configuration information of the card.

4. Select the DCC use byte of the local port in the dialog box according to the DCC use of the abutting optical interface, as shown in Figure 85.

F I G U R E 85 DCC U S E S E T D I AL O G B O X

The Advanced check box is valid only for ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385, ZXMP S200 and ZXMP S325 equipment. With Advance check box selected, the DCC byte in the receiving and sending direction of the optical interface can be set separately, including DCCr, DCCm, DCCr + DCCm, and Not use DCC.

With General check box selected, the DCC byte in the receiving direction and sending direction of the optical interface will be set at the same time, including Use extended DCC and Not use extend DCC.

For ET1 board for ZXMP S200, set whether the 2 M tributary port 5-port 8 support ECC mode or not. The ECC mode includes Not Supported, Optical ECC and Electrical ECC, among which, the electrical ECC means transferring the ECC information by 2 M cable directly, the optical ECC means transferring the ECC information by multiplexing the 2 M tributary signal with ECC information into the timeslot of optical line board (i.e. sending the ECC information by optical line board).

5. Click the Apply button to save the DCC configuration.

Note:

For the board to be used as REG board, the ECC mode must be DCCr.

If the data is transferred by DCC path, the DCC of docking ports must be set in same mode in order to gurantee the smoothly communication.



[Result]

After setting the DCC use, check if the EMS message can be transferred normally when transmitting communication data via DCC.

Configuring Static Route [Purpose]

The static route between the managed equipment and the EMS should be established when the EMS manages the equipment through the Data Communications Network (DCN).

For example:

In Figure 86, IP addresses of NE5-NE8 are in 192.193.16.0 (subnet mask is 255.255.255.0), IP addresses of NE9-NE12 are in 192.193.10.0 (subnet mask is 255.255.255.0).

To enable ZXONM E300 to manage NE5 to NE12, the static route must be configured between NE5 and NE9.

[Result]

Check if the EMS can manage NE5 to NE12 normally.

Configuring Gateway NE [Purpose]

EMS can communicate with the managed NEs by gateway NE when the transmission equipment is managed by Data Communication Network (DCN).

Gateway NE, which is connected with EMS or DCN, forwards the information among other NEs and EMS. Master and slave gateway NEs can be set by EMS in order to avoid communication interruption once the master gateway NE was abnormally.

Gateway NE can isolate the IP address of transmission equipment and the address of DCC network in order to save the resource of user’s IP address and router.

For example:

In Figure 89, the transmission network is composed of NE1-NE12 which are connected to EMS via DCN network. NE6 and NE9 are connected to DCN directly.

Performance Management

This chapter describes the operation method and process for performance configuration and performance query in ZXONM E300.

Performance Configuration Setting Digital Performance Threshold [Purpose]

Digital performance refers to parameters that reflect the transmission and traffic quality, such as channels, interfaces. In the operation of the equipment, the digital performance is detected by the MCU of cards, which also performs statistics on the performance values. The performance statistical period can be 15 minutes or 24 hours.

In ZXONM E300, each performance threshold has a default value, which is downloaded to the NCP card of the NE while the system downloads the database at the first time.

The 15 minutes or 24 hours performance threshold of the performance items can be modified and then downloaded to the NCP with commands.

[Applicable NEs]

[Result]

When the MCU of NE D detects the 15 minutes performance value of UAS is greater than or equals to 1000, the NE D will report the UAS over threshold alarm.

Setting Analog Performance Threshold [Purpose]

The analog performance refers to parameters that embody the working conditions of physical components or circuits, such as the receiving and transmitting optical power of a laser. Generally, there is an higher threshold and a lower threshold for each analog parameter.

As the quantity of analog parameters can not be accumulated during a period, the difference between the analog value and reference is taken as the criterion to judge whether it is normal.

The thresholds of analog performance items of a specific card can be modified through the analog performance threshold command.

[Applicable NEs]

Maintenance Operations

This chapter introduces maintenance operations of SDH NEs.

Note: Attention please! Any misoperation of maintenance may cause service interruption or equipment malfunction. Please Read this chapter carefully before performing maintenance operations.

Setting Loopback [Purpose]

Through the loopback of an optical channel or tributary, the traffic is transmitted from the transmitting port and received at the receiving port of the NE. In the case of separating the communication links, the loopback can be used to confirm the fault point of NEs and detect the working status of nodes and transmission lines in the network.

Note: The loopback operation may result in traffic interruption, therefore be careful while performing the loopback operation.

The operation principle of loopback is that keep the influences on traffic as little as possible. For example, if a fault can be located through a tributary unit loopback, the AU loopback should be avoided.

Loopback type

The loopback is divided into line loopback and terminal loopback depending on the flow direction of signals between transmitting and receiving ports.

The loopback from an optical line card to an optical port of it is the line loopback, while the loopback in the opposite direction is the terminal loopback.



The loopback from an electrical tributary card to an electrical tributary port of it is the terminal loopback, while the loopback in the opposite direction is the line loopback, as shown in Figure 128.

[Result]

Bit errors of this type can be queried from the corresponding channel at the receiving end with the current performance management function.

The B2/B3 bit error inserted manually imposes no influence on traffic, and no bit error can be detected by the meters. It can be queried only from the EMS terminal.



If the insertion point is a high-order VC3 and is configured as bidirectional traffic, about the same amount of remote bit errors can be detected on the insertion point card.

In this example, double-click NE C in the client operation window and the alarm insertion icon is displayed on the card OL64[1-1-3] in the Card Management dialog box. In addition, the B3 bit error can be queried from 2#AUG on card OL64[1-1-6] of NE B.

Checkpoint: The bit error insertion operation must be cancelled in time; otherwise it will impact traffic.

Setting Protection Switching [Purpose]

For an NE configured with MSP ring, SNCP or RPR protection, execute the protection switching command to force it to deliver the protection switch command. It is applicable to all SDH NEs. However the ZXMP S100 can only conduct the subnet connection protection switching.

Switching commands

Lock: Forbid any access to the protection section/channel.

Force Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or higher priority is active, the system will switch to the working/protection section (or channel), no matter whether the section/channel is faulty or not.

Manual Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or higher priority is active or the switching section/channel fails, the system will switch to the working/protection section (or channel) as required.

Exercise: Only process the APS protocol without influencing the normal running of network.

Only such MSP switching composed by ZXMP S390, ZXMP S380, ZXMP S385, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, or ZXMP S200 supports the switching exercise command.

Switching command priority (higher to lower)

Lock > Force Switch > Manual Switch > Exercise

[Applicable NEs]

It is applicable to all the SDH NEs. Note that for ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385 and ZXMP S325, MSP, SNCP and RPR switching can be performed. For ZXMP S360 and ZXMP S320, MSP and SNCP are performed. For ZXMP S100, only SNCP is performed.



[Steps]

1. Select an NE in the client operation window, and select the menu item Maintenance -> Diagnosis -> Protection Switch to access the Protection Switch dialog box

2. Click the Set SMP Switch tab or the Set SNCP Switch tab according to the protection type of this NE.

[Result]

If the button on the toolbar of the client operation window is depressed, the icon appears on the NE icon if the source card for performing the switching is an optical line card.

Select the NE in the client operation window and enter the Query Protection Switch State page in the Protection Switch dialog box to query the switching command, which should be the same as the one set before.

Setting APS Operation of MSP [Purpose]

Check, configure the APS ID by APS operation of MSP.The APS ID is the unique ID of an NE in the MSP ring network.

Table 88 lists the meaning of APS operations supported by the ZXONM E300.

T AB L E 88 M E AN I N G S O F APS P AR AM E T E R S

Parameter Meaning

APS start In the case that the APS protocol is working properly, the MP protection ring is working in APS state. When the MSP group is configured, the APS should be started.

APS stop

The APS protocol stops working and keeps the data before stopping. For instance, if MSP switching happens at a site, the original MSP switching operation will be kept after the APS stops, and the new data will not be processed.

APS reset The APS data is cleared completely and the NE data is initialized. After reset, the working status of system recovers. The system waits for new data, and performs automatic protection switching.



[Applicable NEs]

All the SDH NEs

[Steps]

Refer to the ASP operation described in the section of Configuring Two-fiber Bidirectional MSP in Chapter 1 for the detailed information about the operations of querying and configuring the APS.

Note: The APS operation is only applicable to the MSP ring and the APS command set on each NE in a protection group must be identical.

After the APS is reset successfully, the APS ID should be restarted.

Resetting Cards [Purpose]

The resetting of chips or application programs of cards is divided into the hardware reset and software reset. It is applicable to online NEs in normal communication with the EMS.

Hardware reset: resets all chips in a card by the cable from NCP board to other boards.

Software reset: resets application programs in a card by s interface. For ZXMP S380 and ZXMP S390, software reset of CPU level is supported. For ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385 and ZXMP S325, the software reset is classified into CPU level and IC level reset. The software resetting supported by other types of NEs has no levels like this.

Danger:

The purpose of resetting is to recover the normal working of the card. Therefore, never perform the reset operation unless it is confirmed that the card function is affected by the processor fault.

The software resetting is abnormally under the condition of abnormal S interface, only hardware resetting is available.
