Usage Guidelines

Use this command to manually add wdm, thru, oscfilter, OSC wave, filterband, filtergroup, and transparent interfaces to the network topology. You must also configure the network management agent IP address with the topology neighbor agent ip-address command. By default, CDP is enabled on all these interface types.

For transparent interfaces, you must use the topology neighbor command to add the interface to the network topology because the transparent interfaces do not support CDP. For wdm interfaces, use either the topology neighbor command or the topology neighbor cdp command to populate the network topology.

For y-cable protected configurations, add both associated transparent interfaces to the network topology.

You can also use the topology neighbor disable command to remove an interface from the network topology.

Examples

The following example shows how to connect a mux/demux module to a mux/demux module in another node.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface wdm 0/2
Switch(config-if)# topology neighbor name NodeA port name wdm0/0
Switch(config-if)# topology neighbor agent ip-address 10.1.1.1

The following example shows how to connect a mux/demux module to an interface on client equipment.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface transparent 2/0/2
Switch(config-if)# topology neighbor name Router1 port name gigabitethernet2/1
Switch(config-if)# topology neighbor agent ip-address 10.2.2.2

Modification

12.2(22)S

This command was integrated in this release from release 12.2(22)SV.


Usage Guidelines

CDP dynamically adds wdm interfaces to and removes them from the network topology. CDP is not supported on transparent interfaces. For this command to function properly, the OSC and CDP must be present and configured on the system.

You can use the topology neighbor command to statically add a wdm interface to the network topology, but you must first disable CDP on the interface. To configure a transparent interface as part of the network topology, use the topology neighbor command.


Note You must correctly configure the patch connection between the mux/demux modules using the patch command. Otherwise, CDP cannot locate the wdm interfaces that connect to the trunk fiber and discover the topology neighbors.


Examples

The following example shows how to enable CDP on a wdm interface.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface wdm 0/3
Switch(config-if)# topology neighbor cdp
