Required Configuration Tasks
This section lists the required configuration steps to configure the POS SPAs. Some of the configuration commands implement default values that might be appropriate for your network. If the default value is correct for your network, then you do not need to configure the command. These commands are indicated by "(As Required)" in the Purpose column.
Required Configuration Tasks for POS SPAs
To configure the POS SPAs, complete the following steps:
Command PurposeStep 1
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# interface pos
slot/subslot/portSpecifies the POS interface to configure, where:
•
slot/subslot/port—Specifies the location of the interface. See the "Specifying the Interface Address on a SPA" section.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
Sets a primary or secondary IP address for an interface, where:
•
ip-address—Specifies the IP address for the interface.
•
mask—Specifies the mask for the associated IP subnet.
•
secondary—(Optional) Specifies that the configured address is a secondary IP address. If this keyword is omitted, the configured address is the primary IP address.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# pos framing {sonet | sdh}
(As Required) Specifies the POS framing type, where:
•
sonet—Enables Synchronous Optical Network framing for OC-3c or OC-12c rates. This is the default.

•
bytes—Specifies the maximum number of bytes for a packet. The default is 4470 bytes.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# keepalive [period [retries]]
(As Required) Specifies the frequency at which the Cisco IOS software sends messages to the other end of the link, to ensure that a network interface is alive, where:
•
period—Specifies the time interval in seconds for sending keepalive packets. The default is 10 seconds.
•
retries—Specifies the number of times that the device will continue to send keepalive packets without response before bringing the interface down. The default is 5 retries.
The keepalive must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
Step 7
Router(config-if)# crc [16 | 32]
(As Required) Specifies the length of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC), where:
•
16—Specifies a 16-bit length CRC. This is the default.
•
32—Specifies a 32-bit length CRC.
The CRC size must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
Step 8
Router(config-if)# clock source {line | internal}
(As Required) Specifies the clock source for the POS link.
•
line—The link uses the recovered clock from the line. This is the default.
•
internal—The link uses the internal clock source.
Step 9
Router(config-if)# encapsulation encapsulation-type
(As Required) Specifies the encapsulation method used by the interface, where:
•
encapsulation-type—Can be HDLC, PPP, or Frame Relay. The default encapsulation is HDLC.
The encapsulation must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
Step 10
Router(config-if)# pos scramble-atm
(As Required) Enables SONET payload scrambling.
The default configuration is SONET payload scrambling disabled.
The SONET payload scrambling must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
Step 11
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enables the interface.
Specifying the Interface Address on a SPA
SPA interface ports begin numbering with "0" from left to right. Single-port SPAs use only the port number 0. To configure or monitor SPA interfaces, you need to specify the physical location of the MSC, SPA and interface in the CLI. The interface address format is slot/subslot/port, where:
•
slot—Specifies the chassis slot number in the Cisco 7304 router where the MSC is installed.
•
subslot—Specifies the secondary slot of the MSC where the SPA is installed.
•
port—Specifies the number of the individual interface port on a SPA.
For example, to configure the first interface (0) on a serial SPA installed in the first subslot of an MSC (0) installed in chassis slot 3, use the the following command:
Router(config)# interface serial 3/0/0
The same slot/subslot/port format is used in similar commands for other non-channelized SPAs.
Modifying the Interface MTU Size
The Cisco IOS software supports three different types of configurable maximum transmission unit (MTU) options at different levels of the protocol stack:
•
Interface MTU—Checked by the SPA on traffic coming in from the network. Different interface types support different interface MTU sizes and defaults. The interface MTU defines the maximum packet size allowable (in bytes) for an interface before drops occur. If the frame is smaller than the interface MTU size, but is not smaller than three bytes of payload size, then the frame continues to process.
•
IP MTU—Can be configured on a subinterface and is used by the Cisco IOS software to determine whether fragmentation of a packet takes place. If an IP packet exceeds the IP MTU size, then the packet is fragmented.
•
Tag or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) MTU—Can be configured on a subinterface and allows up to six different labels, or tag headers, to be attached to a packet. The maximum number of labels is dependent on your Cisco IOS software release.
Different encapsulation methods and the number of MPLS MTU labels add additional overhead to a packet. For example, for an Ethernet packet, SNAP encapsulation adds an 8-byte header, dot1q encapsulation adds a 2-byte header, and each MPLS label adds a 4-byte header (n labels x 4 bytes).
Interface MTU Configuration Guidelines
When configuring the interface MTU size on the POS SPAs, consider the following guidelines:
•
If you are also using MPLS, be sure that the mpls mtu command is configured for a value less than or equal to the interface MTU.
•
If you change the interface MTU size, then the giant counter increments when the interface receives a packet that exceeds the MTU size that you configured, plus an additional 88 bytes for overhead, and an additional 2- or 4-bytes for the configured cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
•
For example, with a maximum MTU size of 9216 bytes, the giant counter increments:
–
For a 16-bit CRC (or FCS), when receiving packets larger than (9216 + 88 + 2) bytes, or 9306 bytes.
–
For a 32-bit CRC, when receiving packets larger than (9216 + 88 + 4) bytes, or 9308 bytes.
•
The Frame Relay Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol requires that all permanent virtual circuit (PVC) status reports fit into a single packet and generally limits the number of data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs) to less than 800, depending on the MTU size. This yields the following for a configured interface MTU of 4000 bytes:
–
MAX DLCIs = (MTU bytes - 20)/(5 bytes per DLCI)
–
MAX DLCIs = (4000-20)/5 = 796 DLCIs per interface
Interface MTU Configuration Task
To modify the MTU size on an interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command PurposeRouter(config-if)# mtu bytes
Configures the maximum packet size for an interface, where:
•
bytes—Specifies the maximum number of bytes for a packet. The default is 4470 bytes.
To return to the default MTU size, use the no form of the command.
Verifying the MTU Size
To verify the MTU size for an interface, use the show interfaces pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "MTU" field.
The following example shows an MTU size of 4470 bytes for interface port 0 (the first port) on the SPA installed in the top subslot (1) of the MSC that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/1/0
POS2/1/0 is up, line protocol is up (APS working - active)
Hardware is Packet over Sonet
Internet address is 10.1.1.1/24
MTU 4470 bytes, BW 155000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255.
.
.
.
Modifying the POS Framing
POS framing can be specified as SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) or SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy). SONET and SDH are a set of related standards for synchronous data transmission over fiber- optic networks. SONET is the United States version of the standard published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). SDH is the international version of the standard published by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
To modify the POS framing, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To return to the default, use the no form of the command.
Verifying the POS Framing
To verify the POS framing, use the show controllers pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "Hardware is" field.
The following example shows that POS framing mode is set to SDH for interface 1on the POS SPA installed in subslot 0 of the MSC located in slot 5 of the Cisco 7304 router:

Modifying the Keepalive Interval
When the keepalive feature is enabled, a keepalive packet is sent at the specified time interval to keep the interface active. The keepalive interval must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
To modify the keepalive interval, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To disable keepalive packets, use the no form of this command.
Verifying the Keepalive Interval
To verify the keepalive interval, use the show interfaces pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "Keepalive" field.
The following example shows that keepalive is enabled for interface port 0 on the POS SPA installed in the MSC that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/0/0

.
.
.
Modifying the CRC Size
CRC is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. The CRC size indicates the length in bits of the FCS.
The default CRC size is 16 bits for the OC-3 and OC-12 POS SPAs. The CRC size must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
To modify the CRC size, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To return to the default CRC size, use the no form of the command.
Verifying the CRC Size
To verify the CRC size, use the show interfaces pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "CRC" field.
The following example shows that the CRC size is 16 for interface port 0 on the POS SPA installed in the MSC that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/0/0
Hardware is Packet over Sonet Internet address is 10.1.1.2.1 MTU 9216 bytes, BW 622000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation HDLC, crc 16, loopback not set
.
.
Modifying the Clock Source
A clock source of internal specifies that the interface clocks its transmitted data from its internal clock. A clock source of line specifies that the interface clocks its transmitted data from a clock recovered from the line's receive data stream.
For information about the recommended clock source settings for POS router interfaces, refer to Configuring Clock Settings on POS Router Interfaces at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094bb9.shtml
To modify the clock source, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To return to the default clock source, use the no form of this command.
Verifying the Clock Source
To verify the clock source, use the show controllers pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "Clock source" field.
The following example shows that the clock source is internal for interface port 0 on the POS SPAs installed in the Cisco 7304 MSC-100 that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:

Modifying SONET Payload Scrambling
SONET payload scrambling applies a self-synchronous scrambler (x43+1) to the Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) of the interface to ensure sufficient bit transition density. SONET payload scrambling is disabled by default. SONET payload scrambling must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link.
To modify SONET payload scrambling, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To disable SONET payload scrambling, use the no form of this command.
Verifying SONET Payload Scrambling
To verify SONET payload scrambling, use the show interfaces pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "Scramble" field.
The following example shows that SONET payload scrambling is disabled for interface port 0 on the POS SPA installed in the Cisco 7304 MSC-100 that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/0/0 Hardware is Packet over Sonet Internet address is 10.0.0.1/24 MTU 9216 bytes, BW 622000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, crc 16, loopback not set Keepalive not set Scramble disabled .
.
.
Configuring the Encapsulation Type
By default, the interfaces on the OC-3 or OC-12 POS SPA encapsulation is HDLC. The encapsulation type must be configured to be the same on both ends of the POS link. The encapsulation method can be specified as HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control), PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or Frame Relay.
To modify the encapsulation method, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Verifying the Encapsulation Method
To verify the encapsulation method, use the show interfaces pos privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the "Encapsulation" field.
The following example shows the encapsulation method is HDLC for port 0 on the POS SPAs installed in the MSC that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/0/ Hardware is Packet over Sonet Internet address is 10.0.0.1/24 MTU 9216 bytes, BW 622000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, crc 16, loopback not set Keepalive not set Scramble disabled .
.
.
Configuring APS
Automatic protection switching (APS) allows switch over of POS circuits in the event of circuit failure and is often required when connecting SONET equipment to telco equipment. APS refers to the mechanism of using a "protect" POS interface in the SONET network as the backup for a "working" POS interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly assumes its traffic load. Depending on the configuration, the two circuits may be terminated in the same router, or in different routers.
For more information about APS, refer to A Brief Overview of Packet Over SONET APS at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093eb5.shtml
To configure the working POS interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To remove the POS interface as a working interface, use the no form of this command.
To configure the protect POS interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To remove the POS interface as a protect interface, use the no form of this command.
Verifying the APS Status
To verify the APS configuration or to determine if a switch over has occurred, use the show aps command.
The following is an example of a router configured with a working interface. In this example, POS interface 0/0/0 is configured as a working interface in group 1, and the interface is selected (that is, active).
Router# show aps POS0/0/0 working group 1 channel 1 Enabled Selected
The following is an example of a router configured with a protect interface. In this example, POS interface 2/1/1 is configured as a protect interface in group 1, and the interface is not selected (the "~" indicates that the interface is not active). The output also shows that the working channel is located on the router with the IP address 10.0.0.1 and that the interface currently selected is enabled.
Router# show aps
POS2/1/1 APS Group 1: protect channel 0 (inactive)
Working channel 1 at 10.0.0.1 (Enabled)
SONET framing; SONET APS signalling by default
Remote APS configuration: (null)

Configuring POS Alarm Trigger Delays
A trigger is an alarm that, when activated, causes the line protocol to go down. The POS alarm trigger delay helps to ensure uptime of a POS interface by preventing intermittent problems from disabling the line protocol. The POS alarm trigger delay feature delays the setting of the line protocol to down when trigger alarms are received. If the trigger alarm was sent because of an intermittent problem, the POS alarm trigger delay can prevent the line protocol from going down when the line protocol was functional.
Line Level and Section Level Triggers
The pos delay triggers line command is used for POS router interfaces connected to internally-protected Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems. This command is invalid for interfaces that are configured as working or protect APS. Normally a few microseconds of line- or section-level alarms brings down the link until the alarm has been clear for ten seconds. If you configure holdoff, the link-down trigger is delayed for 100 milliseconds. If the alarm stays up for more than 100 milliseconds, the link is brought down. If the alarm clears before 100 milliseconds, the link remains up.
The following line- and section-level alarms are triggers, by default, for the line protocol to go down:
•
Line alarm indication signal (LAIS)
•
Section loss of signal (SLOS)
•
Section loss of frame (SLOF)
You can issue the pos delay triggers line command to delay a down trigger of the line protocol on the interface. You can set the delay from 50 to 10000 milliseconds. The default delay is 100 milliseconds.
To configure POS line or section level triggers, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To determine which alarms are reported on the POS interface, and to display the BER thresholds, use the show controllers pos command.
To disable alarm trigger delays, use the no form of this command.
Path-Level Triggers
You can issue the pos delay triggers path command to configure various path alarms as triggers and to specify an activation delay between 50 and 10000 milliseconds. The default delay value is 100 milliseconds. The following path alarms are not triggers by default. You can configure these path alarms as triggers and also specify a delay:
•
Path alarm indication signal (PAIS)
•
Path remote defect indication (PRDI)
•
Path loss of pointer (PLOP)
•
sf-ber (signal failure [SF] bit error rate [BER])
•
b1-tca (B1 BER threshold crossing alarm [tca])
•
b2-tca (B2 BER tca)
•
b3-tca (B3 BER tca)
The pos delay triggers path command can also bring down the line protocol when the higher of the B2 and B3 error rates is compared with the signal failure (SF) threshold. If the SF threshold is crossed, the line protocol of the interface goes down.
To configure POS path-level triggers, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To disable path-level triggers, use the no form of this command.
Verifying POS Alarm Trigger Delays
To verify POS alarm trigger delays, use the show controllers pos privileged EXEC command and observe the values shown in the "Line alarm trigger delay" and "Path alarm trigger delay" fields.
The following example shows the POS alarm trigger delays for interface port 0 on the POS SPAs installed in the MSC that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show controllers pos 2/0/0 details POS2/0/0 SECTION LOF = 0 LOS = 1 BIP(B1) = 5 LINE AIS = 0 RDI = 1 FEBE = 5790 BIP(B2) = 945 PATH AIS = 0 RDI = 0 FEBE = 0 BIP(B3) = 5 PLM = 0 UNEQ = 0 TIM = 0 TIU = 0 LOP = 1 NEWPTR = 0 PSE = 0 NSE = 0 Active Defects: None Active Alarms: None Alarm reporting enabled for: SF SLOS SLOF B1-TCA B2-TCA PLOP B3-TCA Line alarm trigger delay = 100 ms Path alarm trigger delay = 100 ms .
.
.
Configuring SDCC
Before any management traffic can traverse the section data communication channel (SDCC) links embedded in the POS SPA overhead, the SDCC interfaces must be configured and activated.
SDCC Configuration Guidelines
When configuring SDCC on a POS SPA, consider the following guidelines:
•
SDCC needs to be enabled on the main POS interfaces.
•
SDCC can be configured on up to two interfaces of the 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA.
•
SDCC supports only HDLC and PPP encapsulation, not Frame Relay.
SDCC Configuration Task
To configure the POS SPAs for SDCC, complete the following steps:
Command PurposeStep 1
Router# configure terminal

For more information about managing configuration files, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 12.2 and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2 publications.
Shutting Down and Restarting an Interface on a SPA
You can shut down and restart any of the interface ports on a SPA independently of each other. Shutting down an interface stops traffic and then enters the interface into an "administratively down" state.
If you are preparing for an OIR of a SPA, it is not necessary to independently shut down each of the interfaces prior to deactivation of the SPA. You do not need to independently restart any interfaces on a SPA after OIR of a SPA or MSC. For more information about performing an OIR for a SPA, see the "Preparing for Online Insertion and Removal of MSCs and SPAs on the Cisco 7304 Router" section on page 3-8.
To shut down an interface on a SPA, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
To restart an interface on a SPA, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Verifying the Interface Configuration
Besides using the show running-configuration command to display your Cisco 7304 router configuration settings, you can use the show interfaces pos and show controllers pos commands to get detailed information on a per-port basis for your POS SPAs.
Verifying Per-Port Interface Status
To find detailed interface information on a per-port basis for the POS SPAs, use the show interfaces pos command. For a description of the command output, see Chapter 18, "Command Reference."
The following example provides sample output for port 1 (the second port) on the SPA located in the bottom subslot (1) of the MSC that is installed in slot 2 of the Cisco 7304 router:
Router# show interfaces pos 2/1/1
POS2/1/1 is up, line protocol is up

APS Configuration Example
The following example shows the configuration of APS on router A and router B, and how to configure more than one protect or working interface on a router by using the aps group command. See Figure 10-1.
Figure 10-1 Basic APS Configuration
In this example, router A is configured with the working interface, and router B, is configured with the protect interface. If the working interface on router A becomes unavailable, the connection will automatically switch over to the protect interface on router B. The loopback interface is used as the interconnect. The aps group command is used even when a single protect group is configured.
On router A, which contains the working interface, use the following configuration:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface loopback 1
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0
Router(config)# interface pos 2/0/0
Router(config-if)# aps group 1
Router(config-if)# aps working 1
Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut
Router(config-if)# end
On router B, which contains the protect interface, use the following configuration:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0
Router(config-if)# aps group 1
Router(config-if)# aps protect 1 10.10.10.10
Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut
Router(config-if)# end
