Preparing SRM Cards for Communications


To prepare SRM cards for communication, you need to know which SRM features will be used. Because SRM cards operate as extensions of the PXM cards, they are initialized when you initialize the PXM card, so the initialization procedure required for most service modules is not required for SRM. SRM cards provide the following features:

1:N redundancy support for select CBSMs

Bulk distribution

Bit error rate testing (BERT)


Note For more information on BERT, see the Managing Bit Error Rate Tests section of Chapter 13, "Switch Operating Procedures."


SRM cards can operate as standalone cards or as redundant cards. As described in "Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution," MGX switches are preconfigured for SRM card redundancy, and this redundancy must match the configuration (standalone or redundant) of the PXM card. After installation, no configuration is required to establish a standalone or redundant SRM configuration.

When installed, SRM cards automatically support 1:N redundancy for CBSMs as listed in Table 2-1. To configure 1:N redundancy for CBSMs, refer to "Preparing Cell Bus Service Modules for Communication."


Tip If you are not using the SRM bulk distribution feature, you can skip reading the rest of this chapter, which describes how to configure bulk distribution on SRM-3T3 and SRME.


The bulk distribution feature enables the SRM to receive T1 and E1 traffic that has been concatenated into a T3 or OC-3 line and route that traffic to the appropriate ATM, Frame Relay, or circuit emulation service module for processing. Responses are sent back through the SRM to the equipment at the other end of the T3 or OC-3 line.

When bulk distribution is used, you must bring up and optionally configure the T3 or OC-3 lines on SRM back cards. For redundant SRME cards, you have the option of configuring line redundancy for the attached OC-3 lines. For all cards that use bulk distribution services, you must configure links, which are logical mappings between the lines on the service modules and the channels embedded in the T3 or OC-3 lines connected to a SRM.

This chapter provides quickstart procedures for configuring SRM cards, and it provides the following additional procedures that describe the steps in the quickstart procedures:

Setting Up SRM Lines

Establishing Redundancy Between SRME Lines with APS

Linking CBSM Lines to SRM Channels, VTs, or VCs


Note SRM configuration is done from the PXM card. The software does not allow you to use the cc command switch to an SRM.



Note The Cisco MGX 8950 does not support SRM cards.

See the " Linking CBSM Lines to SRM Channels, VTs, or VCs" section later in this chapter.

Setting Up SRM Lines

The first step in configuring SRM lines is to define the physical lines that are connected to the switch. The following sections describe how to do the following procedures:

Bring up lines

Configure lines

Verify the configuration of lines

Bringing Up Lines

Before a line is brought up, or after it is brought down, the switch does not monitor the line. The SRM port status light for the line is unlit, and all line alarms are cleared.

When you bring up a line, the switch starts monitoring the line. The SRM line status light is green when physical layer communication is established with a switch or CPE. If physical layer communications problems are detected, the port status light turns red, and alarms are reported.


Tip To minimize the number of alarms and failed port status lamps (which display red), keep lines down until they are ready for operation.


To bring up a line on the SRM, use the following procedure.


Step 1 Establish a configuration session on the PXM card using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.

Step 2 Enter the upln command at the switch prompt.

mgx8830b.1.PXM.a > upln <X.line>

Replace <X> with the logical slot number of the SRM. On a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), replace <X> with 15 if the line is connected to a back card in the upper bay, or replace it with 31 if the line is connected to a back card in the lower bay. On a Cisco MGX 8830, replace <X> with 7. Replace <line> with the line number you want to bring up. For example:

PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a > upln 31.1

Step 3 Enter the dsplns <logical slot> command to verify that the appropriate line is up.

Replace logical slot with the slot number of the SRM for which you are displaying lines.

The Line State column shows whether a line is up or down as shown in the following example:

PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a > dsplns 31
Medium Medium VT
Sonet Line Line Line Frame Line VT Maping APS
Line State Type Lpbk Scramble Type Type Type Enabled
------------- ----- --------- ---- -------- ------ --------- ------ -------
31.1 Up sonetSts3 NoLo Enable ShortS vt15/vc11 asynch Disabl

The line state, which is either Up or Down, represents the administrative intent for the line. For example, a line is reported as Down until you bring it up. Once you bring up the line, the line state remains Up until you bring it down with the dnln command.

The alarm state indicates whether the line is communicating with another device. When the alarm state is Clear, the devices at each end of the line have established physical layer communications. ATM connectivity is later established when logical interfaces are configured on the line.


Configuring Lines on an SRM Card

All line types are brought up with a default configuration. If the default configuration matches the CPE to which SRM will connect, no configuration is required. The following sections describe how to display the configuration for SONET/SDH and T3 lines, and how to configure these lines when changes are required.

Configuring a SONET/SDH Line

The following procedure describes how to view a SONET/SDH line configuration, and how to configure the line on an SRME card.


Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.

Step 2 To display the current configuration of an SRME line, enter the dspln command as follows:

PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a > dspln -sonet X.1

If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch, replace X with 15 for an SRME in the upper bay, or 31 for an SRME in the lower bay. If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, replace X with 7. SRME provides one line, so the line number is always one as shown in the following example:

PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a > dspln -sonet 31.1
Line Number : 31.1
Admin Status : Up
Loopback : NoLoop APS enabled : Disable
Frame Scrambling : Enable RDI-V Type : one bit
Xmt Clock source : localTiming RDI-P Type : one bit
Line Type : sonetSts3 VT Type : vt15/vc11
Medium Type(SONET/SDH) : SONET VT Mapping Type : asynchronous
Medium Time Elapsed : 508 VT Framing Type : N/A
Medium Valid Intervals : 0 VT Signalling Mode : N/A
Medium Line Type : ShortSMF VT Grouping Type : N/A

Step 3 To configure a SONET or SDH line, enter the cnfln command as follows:

mgx8830b.1.PXM.a > cnfln -sonet <X.1> -slt <LineType> -clk <clockSource> -lpb <loopback> -sfs <FrameScramble> -rdiv <RDI-V Type> -rdip <RDI-P Type> -tt <Tributary Type> -tm <TributaryMappingType> -tf <TributaryFramingType> -st <SignallingTranportMode> -tg <TributaryGroupingType>

Remember that you cannot configure a line until you have brought it up as described in the previous section, " Bringing Up Lines." Table 8-1 lists the parameter descriptions for configuring SONET and SDH lines.

Table 8-1 Parameters for SONET Line Configuration 

Parameter
Description

X.1

Replace X with 15 if you are configuring an SRME in the upper bay, or replace it with 31 if you are configuring an SRME in the lower bay.

The number 1 represents the one and only line on an SRME card.

-slt

Optical line type. Replace < LineType> with 1, to specify SONET, or replace < LineType> with 2 to specify SDH.

-clk

The -clk option selects the source timing for transmitting messages over the line. Replace <clockSource> with 1 to use the clock signal received over this line from a remote node, or specify 2 to use the local timing defined for the local switch. For information on defining the clock source for the local switch, see the " Managing Network Clock Sources" section in Chapter 13, "Switch Operating Procedures."

-lpb

Enables one of two loopback types or disables an active loopback, as follows:

1: No loopback

2: Local loopback

3: Remote loopback

A loopback circulates OAM cells between the card and the CPE in a local loopback or between the card and the network in a remote loopback. The loopback continues until you halt it by again running the cnfln command with the parameter sequence -lpb 1.

Default: no loopback

-sfs

Enables/disables the frame scramble feature. Replace <FrameScramble> with 1 to disable frame scramble, or 2 to enable frame scramble.

-rdiv

Specifies the number of RDI V bits. Replace <RDI-V Type> with either a "1" for 1 bit or a "3" for 3 bits.

-rdip

Specifies the number of RDI P bits. Replace <RDI-V Type> with either a "1" for 1 bit or a "3" for 3 bits.

-tt

The TributaryType selects a tributary type for either SONET or SDH. SONET references virtual tributary (VT) types, and SDH references virtual container (VC) types. Select the tributary type that supports the line type used by the service modules using this SONET/SDH line:

T1 lines (VT15/VC11) = 1

E1 lines (VT2/VC12) = 2

Note E1 lines (VT2/VC12) are supported only when the -slt option is set to 2 to select SDH.

-tm

The tributary mapping type can be configured as asynchronous or byte-synchronous. Type a "1" or "2."

Asynchronous = 1

Byte-synchronous (T1 tributary type only) = 2

Default: asynchronous

-tf

The tributary framing type is either superframe or extended superframe. This option applies only when the tributary mapping is byte-synchronous (-tm 2). Replace TributaryFramingType with 2 to specify Superframe, or 3 to specify extended superframe.

-st

The signaling transport mode applies only if you have selected byte-synchronous tributary mapping (-tm 2). Replace SignallingTranportMode with either a 2 to specify transfer mode, or a 3 to specify clear mode.

With transfer mode, the framing bit is transferred to the VT header.

With clear mode, the signaling bit is transferred to the VT header.

-tg

The tributary grouping type applies to SDH. Replace TributaryGroupingType with a 2 to specify AU3, or a 3 to specify AU4.


Step 4 To verify your configuration changes, enter the dspln -sonet <X.1> command. Replace X with the slot number of the SRM you are configuring.


Configuring T3 Lines

The following procedure describes how to configure T3 lines on an SRM-3T3/C card.


Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.

Step 2 If you do not know the line number you want to configure, enter the dsplns command to display a list of the lines.

mgx8830b.1.PXM.a > dsplns <logical slot>

Remember that you cannot configure a line until you have brought it up as described in the section, " Bringing Up Lines."

In the following example, the user displays the line numbers for the SRM in slot 7.

Lampoon.1.PXM.a > dsplns 7
Line Line Line Line Length OOF AIS
Num State Type Lpbk (meters) Criteria cBitsCheck
---- ----- ----------- ----------- -------- --------- ----------
7.1 Down dsx3CbitPar NoLoop 00000001 3Of8Bits Check
7.2 Down dsx3CbitPar NoLoop 00000001 3Of8Bits Check
7.3 Down dsx3CbitPar NoLoop 00000001 3Of8Bits Check

Step 3 To display the current configuration of a line, enter the dspln -ds3 <X.line> command.

If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch, replace X with 15 for an SRME in the upper bay, or 31 for an SRME in the lower bay. If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, replace X with 7. Replace line with the line number, which is the range of 1 to 3 on an SRM-3T3/C card.

In the following example, the user displays the configuration for the T3 line connected to line 1 on the SRM card in slot 7.

Lampoon.1.PXM.a > dspln -ds3 7.1
Line Number : 7.1
Admin Status : Up
Line Type : dsx3CbitParity
Line Coding : ds3B3ZS
Line Length(meters) : 1
OOFCriteria : 3Of8Bits
AIS c-Bits Check : Check
Loopback : NoLoop
Xmt. Clock source : localTiming
Rcv FEAC Validation : 4 out of 5 FEAC codes

Step 4 To configure a T3 line, enter the cnfln command as follows:

mgx8830b.1.PXM.a > cnfln -ds3 <slot.line> -lt <LineType> -len <LineLength> -oof <OOFCriteria> -cb <AIScBitsCheck> -rfeac <RcvFEACValidation> -clk <clockSource>

Table 8-2 lists the parameter descriptions for configuring T3 lines.

Table 8-2 Parameters for T3 Line Configuration 

Parameter
Description

slot.line

If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch, replace slot with 15 for an SRME in the upper bay, or 31 for an SRME in the lower bay. If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, replace slot with 7.

Replace line with the number that corresponds to the back card port to which the line is connected.

-lt

T3 line type. Replace LineType with 9 to specify this line as a dsx3M23 line, or 11 to specify the line as a dsx3CbitParity line.

-len

Specifies the line length. Replace <LineLength> with a number to specify 0 through 64000 meters.

-oof

Specifies Out of Frame (OOF) criteria. Replace <OOFCriteria> with 1 to specify a criteria of 1 out of 16 frames, or replace it with 2 to specify a criteria of 3 out of 16 frames.

-cb

Specifies the C-bit check. Replace <ASICBitsCheck> with 1 to check bits, or 2 to disable a bits check.

-clk

The -clk option selects the source timing for transmitting messages over the line. Replace <clockSource> with 1 to use the clock signal received over this line from a remote node, or specify 2 to use the local timing defined for the local switch. For information on defining the clock source for the local switch, see the " Managing Network Clock Sources" section in Chapter 13, "Switch Operating Procedures."

-rfeac

Specifies the number of bits for FEAC validation. Replace <RcvFEACValidation> with either a 1 to specify 4 out of 5 bits, or 2 to specify 8 out of 10 bits.


Step 5 To verify your configuration changes, enter the dspln -ds3 <X.line> command.

If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch, replace X with 15 for an SRME in the upper bay, or 31 for an SRME in the lower bay. If you are configuring a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, replace X with 7. Replace line with the line number, which is in the range of 1 to 3 on an SRM-3T3/C card.


Establishing Redundancy Between SRME Lines with APS

On Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) and Cisco MGX 8830 switches, the SRME supports intercard redundancy, where the working line is connected to the primary card, and the protection line is connected to the secondary card.


Note The SRM3T3/C does not support APS redundancy.


To establish redundancy between two lines on different cards, use the following procedure.


Note For intercard APS to operate properly on a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), an APS connector must be installed between the two SRM back cards. For more information in the APS connector and how to install it, refer to either the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8830 Hardware Installation Guide. For a Cisco MGX 8830 shelf, you do not need to install a separate APS connector between the two SRM cards because APS functionality is built into the switch.



Step 1 Establish a configuration session with the active PXM using a user name with GROUP1_GP privileges or higher.


Note All SRM configuration is done from the active PXM card.


Step 2 Verify that the switch has redundant SRME back cards installed in all bays that will support bulk distribution and line redundancy (redundant SRME back cards can support a standalone PXM/SRM installation). For more information, see "Planning for Card Redundancy, Line Redundancy, and Bulk Distribution."

Step 3 If you have not done so already, bring up the working line as described in the " Bringing Up Lines" section earlier in this chapter. The working line is the line on the primary SRME card, which will be in slot 7, 15, or 31.

Step 4 If you are configuring an SRME on an Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), enter the dspapsbkplane command to verify that an APS connector is in the bay where APS is to be configured. For example.

PXM_SJ.7.PXM.a > dspapsbkplane
This feature does not apply to the card present in this slot

SRME Top Bay:APS Back Plane Not Engaged or Adjacent Back Card Not Present.

SRME Bottom Bay:APS Back Plane Is Engaged


Note APS functionality is built into the Cisco MGX 8830. Therefore, you do not need to install a separate APS connector in the switch in order for APS to function.



Step 5 Enter the addapsln command as follows:

mgx8850b.1.PXM.a > addapsln <workingIndex> <protectIndex> <archmode>

Replace workingIndex and protectIndex with the location of the working and protection lines, which must be entered in the format: slot.bay.line. Because the SRME provides one line, the working and protection indexes can only have one possible for value for a specific switch and bay. Table 8-3 shows the proper values to enter for each switch and bay combination.

Table 8-3 Working and Protection Indexes for addapsln Command

Replace archmode with an option number that defines the type of line redundancy you want to use. Table 8-4 shows the option numbers and the types of redundancy they select.

Table 8-4 APS Line Architecture Modes

Option
Description

1

Selects 1+1 Bellcore GR-253 APS protocol signaling (transmission on both working and protection lines).

2

Selects 1:1 Bellcore GR-253 APS protocol signaling (transmission on either the working line or the protection line) for intracard APS.

Note This option is not supported in this release.

3

Selects 1+1 ITU-T G.783 AnnexB APS protocol signaling (transmission on both working and protection lines).

4

Selects 1+1 Y-cable signaling without K1 and K2.

Note This option is not supported in this release.

5

Selects 1+1 straight cable signaling without K1 and K2.

Note This option is not supported in this release.


The following example configures 1+1 APS line redundancy for the lower bay of a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch:

mgx8850b.1.PXM.a > addapsln 31.1.1 32.1.1 1

Step 6 Enter the cnfapsln command to configure the APS line, as follows:

mgx8850b.1.PXM.a > cnfapsln -w <workingline> -sf <SignalFaultBER> -sd <SignalDegradeBER> -wtr <Wait To Restore> -dr <direction> -rv <revertive> -proto <protocol>

Table 8-5 describes the command parameters.

Table 8-5 cnfapsln Command Parameters 

Option
Description

-w

Replace workingline with the location of the working line using the format slot.bay.line. The possible choices are:

Cisco MGX 8830 = 7.1.1

Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), upper bay = 15.1.1

Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), lower bay = 31.1.1

-sf

Replace <SignalFaultBER> with one of the following numbers to indicate the Signal Fault Bit Error Rate (BER), in negative powers of ten:

3 = 10-3

4 = 10-4

5 = 10-5

Example: -sf 3

-sd

Replace <SignalDegradeBER> with one of the following numbers to indicate the Signal Degrade Bit Error Rate (BER), in negative powers of ten:

5 = 10-5

6 = 10-6

7 = 10-7

8 = 10-8

9 = 10-9

Example: -sd 5

-wtr

Replace Wait To Restore with the number of minutes to wait after the working line has become functional again, before switching back to the working line from the protection line. The range is 5-12.

Example: -wtr 5

-dr

Determines whether the line is unidirectional or bidirectional.

1 = Unidirectional. The line switch occurs at the receive end of the line.

2 = Bidirectional. The line switch occurs at both ends of the line.

Note This optional parameter is not shown in the above example because you do not need to set it for a revertive line.

Example: -dr 2

-rv

Enables/disables revertive behavior. Replace revertive with the number 1 to disable revertive behavior, or 2 to enable revertive behavior.

Example: -rv 1

-proto

Replace protocol with the number 1 to specify the Bellcore protocol, 2 to specify the ITU protocol.


Step 7 To display the a list of all the APS lines on an SRM card, enter the dspapslns command.

Step 8 To display the configuration of a single APS line, enter the dspapsln command as follows:

M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > dspapsln 15.1.1

For information on managing redundant APS lines, see the " Managing Redundant APS Lines" section in Chapter 13, "Switch Operating Procedures."


Linking CBSM Lines to SRM Channels, VTs, or VCs

Once you have brought up the line or lines on your SRM card, you are ready to establish links, which are configured mappings between the service module lines and the channels, virtual tributaries (VTs), or virtual containers (VCs) within an SRM line. For example, you might create a link to connect line 1 in slot 14 to channel 5 within an SRM-3T3/C line.

Once you establish a link for a service module line, bulk distribution is enabled for the entire service module and all lines must use bulk distribution. Although bulk distribution will work with a service module back card installed, the service module cannot use the back card once bulk distribution is enabled on any line.


Note The SRME card supports bulk distribution to E1 cards only when the SDH line type is selected while configuring a line. The SRM-3T3/C card does not support bulk distribution to E1 service modules.


To link a service module line to an SRM channel, VT, or VC and enable bulk distribution, use the following procedure:


Step 1 Establish a configuration session with the active PXM using a user name with GROUP1_GP privileges or higher.

Step 2 Enter the addlink command on the active PXM to bring up a link between a service module line and an SRM channel, VT, or VC.

mgx8830b.1.PXM.a > addlink <SrmStartLinkIf> <NumberOfLinks> <TargetIF>

Table 8-6 describes the command parameters.

Table 8-6 addlink Command Parameters 

Option
Description

SrmStartLinkIf

Logical SRM slot and link number, in the form of slot.line.link.

For a Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switch, replace slot with 15 for the upper bay or 31 for the lower bay. For a Cisco MGX 8830 switch, the logical slot number is 7.

Replace line with 1 for SRME cards or a number in the range of 1 to 3 for SRM3T3/C cards.

The link number identifies the starting link number on the SRM line you are configuring. The link number must be available (no other line connected to it). Replace link with a number in one of the following ranges:

SRME, T1 line tributary type configuration (VT15/VC11) = range 1 to 84

SRME, E1 line tributary type configuration (VT2/VC12) = range 1 to 63

SRM-3T3/C = range 1 to 28

Note SRM-3T3/C links 1 through 28 for each line connect to channels 1 to 28, respectively in the respective T3 line. The links within a SONET SDH line map to the VTs and VCs within a line as listed in Table 8-7, Table 8-8, and Table 8-9.

NumberOfLinks

The number of links you want to configure with this command. Replace NumberOfLinks with a number from 1 through 8. If you specify 1, you will create one link. If you specify 8, you can configure links for all 8 lines on a service module at the same time.

TargetIF

Targeted starting line in the format slot.line. To see which slots are hosting service modules that can use bulk distribution, enter the dspcds command and note the 8-port T1 service modules that are in the same bay as the SRM card.

The line is the starting line number and defines which line will be the first of the group of lines to be configured. For example, if you enter 1 for the number of links to configure and 4 for the target line number, only one link will be configured for line 4 on the target service module. If you specify 8 for the number of links and 1 for the target line, all 8 lines on the target service module are configured for bulk distribution.


In the following example, 8 links are created for all 8 lines on the service module in slot 14. The starting link number on the SRM is 1.

M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > addlink 15.1.1 8 14.1

Step 3 Enter the dsplink <LogicalSRM/SRMEslot.Line> command to verify your configuration. Replace <LogicalSRM/SRMEslot.Line> with the slot number of the SRM card and the line number you wish to view. In the following example, the user displays the configuration for line 1 on the SRM card represented by logical slot 15.
