Chapter 21 Configuring 1-Port ChOC-3/STM-1 and ChOC-12 / STM-4 SPAs Configuration Tasks

Restrictions

• SDH mode is not supported on1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.

• The 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA does not support DSU mode in E3/T3 mode. For the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA, when enabled in E3/T3 mode, to work with other DSU supported cards, you must configure the remote end of this SPA in Kentrox DSU mode.

For example, when 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA is connected to 1xCHSTM1 SPA over a CEM PW (CESoP/SAToP) or ADM in E3 mode, Kentrox DSU mode must be enabled on serial interfaces of 1xCHSTM1 SPA.

This section shows how to configure the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPAs in either SONET or SDH framing modes.

It includes the following topics:

• Use the show controllers command to verify the controller configuration., page 21-15

• Selection of Physical Port and Controller Configuration, page 21-2

• Optional Configurations, page 21-16

• Saving the Configuration, page 21-27

Required Configuration TasksThis section lists the required steps to configure the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA. Some of the required 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.

• Selection of Physical Port and Controller Configuration

• Interface Naming

• SONET mode Configuration

• SDH mode Configuration

• Configure Channelized DS3 in SONET Mode

• POS Interface Configuration

• Verifying Interface Configuration

Note To better understand the address format used to specify the physical location of the Cisco 7600 SIP-200, SPA, and interfaces, see the: “Selection of Physical Port and Controller Configuration” section on page 21-2.

Selection of Physical Port and Controller ConfigurationTo select the physical port and controller configuration on the 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA or 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 , use the following command:

controller sonet slot / subslot / port

21-2Cisco 7600 Series Router SIP, SSC, and SPA Software Configuration Guide


If the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA sits in subslot 0 of a Cisco 7600 SIP-200 / SIP-400(releases from SRC onwards) in slot3, the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA port would be identified as controller SONET 3/0/0. Since there is only 1 port on a 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA, the port number is always 0.

If the 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 sits in subslot 0 of a 7600-SIP-400(releases from SRD1 onwards) in slot3, the 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 port would be identified as controller SONET 3/0/0. Since there is only 1 port on a 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4, the port number is always 0.

Note The terms slot and bay are used interchangebly in this document.

Interface Naming

Interface names are automatically generated, and the format will be dependent on the mode each particular line card is operating on. The name format of the serial interface created are listed below.

SONET mode

• If framing is SONET and mode is vt-15 where VTG range is 1-7 and DS1(T1) range is 1-4:

interface serial [slot / subslot / port].[sts-1#/ vtg/ ds1#]:[channel-group]

Note Based on the CLI configuration, channel-group value varies from 0 to 23 for DS1.

• If framing is SONET and mode is CT3 where DS1 range is 1-28:

interface serial [slot / subslot / port].[sts-1# / ds1#]:[channel-group]

Note Based on the CLI configuration, channel-group value varies from 0 to 23 for DS1.

• If framing is SONET and mode is CT3-E1 where E1 range is 1-21:

interface serial [slot / subslot / port].[sts-1# / e1#]:[channel-group]

Note Based on the CLI configuration, channel-group value varies from 0 to 30 for E1 and 0 to 23 for T1.

• If framing is SONET and mode is T3:

interface serial [slot / subslot / port.sts-1#]

SDH mode

• If SDH-AUG mapping is au-4 and if the tug-3 is mode t3/e3:

interface serial [slot / subslot /< port>.<au-4>/ <tug-3>]

Note Based on the CLI configuration, the STS range varies from 1 to 12, the AU-4 varies from 1 to 4, the TUG-3 varies from 1 to 3, and the TUG-2 varies from 1 to 7.

• If SDH-AUG mapping is au-3 in c-11 mode:

interface serial [slot / subslot / port.au-3 / <tug-2> / <ds1>]:[channel-group]



• If framing is SDH with c-12 mode:

interface serial [slot/ subslot / < port>.<au-4>/ <tug-3> / <tug-2> /< e1>]:[channel-group]

Note If the aug mapping is au-3, then the only supported mode is c-11 ( carrying a DS1(T1)).

For POS mode

This configuration is only for 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 SPA and the only supported mode is SONET mode.

If framing is SONET :

interface pos [slot / subslot / port]:[sts-1#]

Here sts-1# indicates the starting sts of the POS interface.

For example, if the SPA is in 3/0/0 and the POS interface is created for the first 3 sts-1s, then the interface name is POS3/0/0:1. Also, if the the SPA is in 3/0/0 and the POS interface created for the all sts-1s, the interface name is still POS3/0/0:1, but the differentiating factor is the interface bandwidth. For OC3, the interface bandwidth is 15550 kbit and it is 622000 kbit for OC12 POS.

Selection of Physical Port and Controller Configuration—SONET mode

To create the interface for the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA or 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 SPA, complete these steps:

SONET mode Configuration

To configure the SONET controller, complete these steps:

Command Purpose

Step 1 Router(config)# controller sonet slot/subslot/port

Select the controller to configure and enter controller configuration mode.

• slot/subslot/port—Specifies the location of the interface. See the: “Selection of Physical Port and Controller Configuration” section on page 21-2



Command Purpose

Step 1 For SONET controllers:

Router(config-controller)# framing sonet

Selects the framing type.

sonet—Specifies SONET as the frame type. This is the default.

Step 2 Router(config-controller)# clock source {internal | line}

Sets the clock source.

Note The clock source is set to internal if the opposite end of the connection is set to line and the clock source is set to line if the opposite end of the connection is set to internal.

• internal—Specifies that the internal clock source is used.

• line—Specifies that the network clock source is used. This is the default for T1 and E1.

Step 3 Router(config-controller)# [no] loopback {local | network ]

Enables or disables loopback mode on a sonet controller.

• local loopback—loops data from the transmit path to the receive path.

• network loopback—loops data received on the receiving path to the transmiting path and back out the external port.

Default is disabled loopback.

Step 4 In SONET framing:

Router(config-controller)#sts-1 sts-1#

sts-1 #—Specifies the SONET STS level.

Step 5 Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# [no] mode {vt-15 | ct3 | t3 | ct3-e1}

Specifies the mode of operation of a STS-1 path:

• vt-15—A STS-1 is divided into 7 VTGs. Each VTG is then divided into 4 VT1.5’s, each carrying a T1.

• ct3—A STS-1 carry a DS3 signal divided into 28 T1s (PDH)

• t3—STS-1 carries a unchannelized (clear channel) T3

• ct3-e1—The channelized T3 is carrying E1 circuits

Note Effective from Release 15.1(1)S, the CT3-E1 mode is supported on the 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 SPA.



Step 6 Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg?

<1-7> vtg number <1-7>

vtg—Specifies the VTG number.

Step 7 RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg 1 t1 1 {bert |channel-group |clock |description |fdl |framing |loopback |shutdown |yellow }

RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)#vtg 1 t1 1 channel-group 0-23 Channel group number

RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg 1 t1 1 channel-group 0 timeslots List of timeslots in the channel group

RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg 1 t1 1 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 List of timeslots which comprise the channel

RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg 1 t1 1 channel-group 0 timeslots 1 speed Specify the speed of the underlying DS0s

RouterC(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg 1 t1 1 channel-group 0 timeslots 1

Configures the T1s on the VTGs. For SONET framing, vtg# range is 1 to 7.

Command Purpose



SDH mode Configuration

To configure SDH mode, complete the following steps:

Note Effective from Release 15.1(1)S, SDH mode is supported on the1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 SPA.

Command Purpose

Step 1 For SDH controllers:

Router(config-controller)# framing sdh

Selects the framing type.

• sonet—Specifies SONET as the frame type. This is the default.

• sdh—Specifies SDH as the frame type.

Step 2 Router(config-controller)# aug mapping {au-3 | au-4}

Configures AUG mapping for SDH only. If the AUG mapping is configured to be au-4, then the following muxing/alignment/mapping will be used:

TUG-3 <--> VC-4 <--> AU-4 <--> AUG

If the mapping is configured to be au-3, then the following muxing/alignment/mapping will be used:

VC-3 <--> AU-3 <--> AUG

This command will be available only when sdh framing is configured.

Default is au-4.

Step 3 Router(config-controller)# aug mapping(stm#) au-4

or

Router(config-controller)# aug mapping (stm#) au-3

Router(config-controller)# aug mapping {au-3 | au-4}

Configures AUG mappings for SDH only



Step 4 If AUG mapping is AU-4:

au-4 <au-4#> tug-3 <tug-3#>

If AUG mapping is AU-3:

au-3 <au-3#>

Enters the configuration submode for the given TUG-3.

Depending on currently configured AUG mapping setting, this command will further specify TUG-3, AU-3 or STS-1 muxing. As the result, the CLI command parser enters into config-ctrlr-tug3, config-ctrlr-au3 or config-ctrlr-sts1# parser mode, which makes only relevant commands visible.

The AU-4 number rangess from 1 to 4 for OC12 SPA and 1 for OC3.

The AU-3 number ranges from 1 to 12 for OC12 SPA and from 1 to 3 for OC3.

The STS-1 number ranges 1 to 12 for OC12 SPA and is from 1 to 3 for OC3.

Step 5 In SDH framing in AU-4 mode:

[no] mode {c-12 | t3 | e3}

C-11 and c-12 are container level-n (SDH) Channelized T3s. They are types of T3 channels that are subdivided into 28 T1 channels.

• c-12—Specifies a AU-4/TUG-3 is divided into 7 tug2. Each tug2 then divided into 3 TU12’s, each carrying an E1 (C-12).

• t3—Specifies a STS-1 or AU-4/TUG3 carries a unchannelized (clear channel) T3.

• e3—Specifies a AU-4/TUG3 carries a unchannelized (clear channel) E3 .

In CHOC-3/STM1 SPA, you cannot configure both T3 and E3 at the same time.

Note Only c-11 is supported in AU-3.

Command Purpose



Configure Channelized DS3 in SONET Mode

To configure channelized DS3 mode, complete the following steps:

Command Purpose

Step 1 Router(config)# controller sonet slot/subslot/port

Step 2 Router(config-controller)#sts-1 sts1#

The sts-1# is from 1 to y, y being the Sonet STS level, such as in OC-3.

Step 3 Router(config)#mode ct3 Sets the interface in channelized DS3 mode.

Step 4 Router(config-ctrlr-sts)# t3 framing {c-bit | m23 | auto-detect}

Specifies the framing mode.

• c-bit—Specifies C-bit parity framing.

• m23—Specifies M23 framing.

• auto-detect

Step 5 Router(config-ctrlr-sts)# clock source {internal | line}

Sets the clock source for the given T3 controller under STS.

Note The clock source is set to internal if the opposite end of the connection is set to line and the clock source is set to line if the opposite end of the connection is set to internal.

• internal—Specifies that the internal clock source is used.

• line—Specifies that the network clock source is used.

Step 6 Router(config-ctrlr-sts)# [no] t3 loopback {local | network [line | payload] | remote [line | payload]}

Enables or disables loopback mode on a SONET controller.

• local loopback—loops data from the transmit path to the receive path.

• network loopback—loops data received on the external port to the transmit path and back out the external port.

Note Effective from Release 15.1(1)S, network loopback is supported on the 1-Port Channelized OC12/STM4 SPA.

• Remote loopback—Applicable only to c-bit framing. When you configure locally, this mode performs the remote end network loopback.

Default is no loopback.



Step 7 Router(config-ctrlr-sts)# [no] t3 mdl string [eic | fic | generator | lic | pfi | port | unit} string

[no] t3 mdl transmit {path | idle-signal | test-signal}

Configures MDL support.

Configuring Encapsulation

When traffic crosses a WAN link, the connection needs a Layer 2 protocol to encapsulate traffic. To set the encapsulation method, use the following commands:

Command Purpose

Step 1 Router# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 Router(config)# interface serial

For addressing information, refer to the “Interface Naming” section on page 21-3.

Selects the interface to configure.

• slot/subslot/port:channel-group—Specifies the location of the interface.

Step 3 Router(config-if)# encapsulation encapsulation-type {hdlc | ppp | frame-relay}

Set the encapsulation method on the interface.

• hdlc—High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol for serial interface. This encapsulation method provides the synchronous framing and error detection functions of HDLC without windowing or retransmission. This is the default for synchronous serial interfaces.

• ppp—PPP (for serial interface).

• frame-relay—Frame Relay (for serial interface).

Step 4 Router(config-if)# crc {16 | 32} Selects the CRC size in bits.

• 16—16-bit CRC. This is the default

• 32—32-bit CRC.



Configuring the CRC Size for T1

The 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA interface uses a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) by default, but also support a 32-bit CRC. CRC is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. The designators 16 and 32 indicate the length (in bits) of the frame check sequence (FCS). A CRC of 32 bits provides more powerful error detection, but adds overhead. Both the sender and receiver must use the same setting.

CRC-16, the most widely used CRC throughout the United States and Europe, is used extensively with WANs. CRC-32 is specified by IEEE 802 and as an option by some point-to-point transmission standards. It is often used on Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) networks and LANs.

To set the length of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on a T1 interface, use these commands:

Configuring FDL

Facility Data Link (FDL) is a 4-kbps channel provided by the Extended Super Frame (ESF) T1 framing format. The FDL performs outside the payload capacity and allows you to check error statistics on terminating equipment without intrusion.

Verifying FDL

Use the show controllers command to verify the FDL setting:

Command Purpose

Router# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.

Router(config)# interface serial


Selects the interface to configure.

• slot/subslot/port:channel-group—Specifies the location of the interface.

Router(config-if)#crc {16|32} Configures the CRC based on the configuration value. If you do not set any value, the default value of 16 is assigned.

Command Purpose


Router(config)# controller sonet slot/subslot/port

See the “Interface Naming” section on page 21-3.

Selects the controller to configure.

• slot/subslot/port—Specifies the location of the controller.

Router(config-controller)# sts-1 If the framing format was configured for esf, configures the format used for Facility Data Link (FDL).

Router(config-controller)vtg 1 t1 1 fdl ansi • vtg—Specifies the VTG number

• t1— Specifies the T1 number for which FDL need to be configured.

• ansi—Select ANSI for FDL to use the ANSI T1.403 standard.

Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (Hardware-based)

Multilink Point to Point Protocol (MLPPP) allows you to combine interfaces which correspond to an entire T1 or E1 multilink bundle. You choose the number of bundles and the number of T1 or E1 lines in each bundle.

MLPPP Configuration Guidelines

The required conditions are:

• Only T1 or E1 links in a bundle

• All links on the same SPA

• Maximum of 12 links in a bundle.

Note Some notes about hardware-based MLPPP:

Only 3 fragmentation sizes are possible 128, 256 and 512 bytes

Fragmentation is enabled by default, default size is 512 bytes

Fragmentation size is configured using the ppp multilink fragment-delay command after using the interface multilink command. The least of the fragmentation sizes (among the 3 sizes possible) satisfying the delay criteria is configured. (e.g., a 192 byte packet causes a delay of 1 millisecond on a T1 link, so the nearest fragmentation size is 128 bytes.

The show ppp multilink command will indicate the MLPPP type and the fragmentation size:

Router# show ppp multilink

Multilink1, bundle name is Patriot2

Bundle up for 00:00:13

Bundle is Distributed

0 lost fragments, 0 reordered, 0 unassigned

0 discarded, 0 lost received, 206/255 load

0x0 received sequence, 0x0 sent sequence

Member links: 2 active, 0 inactive (max not set, min not set)



Se4/2/0.1/1/1:0, since 00:00:13, no frags rcvd

Se4/2/0.1/1/2:0, since 00:00:10, no frags rcvd

Distributed fragmentation on. Fragment size 512. Multilink in Hardware.

Fragmentation is disabled explicitly by using the no ppp multilink fragmentation command after using the interface multilink command.

Create a Multilink Bundle

To create a multilink bundle, use the following commands:

Assign an Interface to a Multilink Bundle

To assign an interface to a multilink bundle, use the following commands:

Configuring Fragmentation Size on an MLPPP Bundle (optional)

To configure the fragmentation size on a multilink ppp bundle, use the following commands:

Command Purpose


Router(config)# interface multilink group-number

Creates a multilink interface and enter multilink interface mode.

• group-number—The group number for the multilink bundle.

Router(config-if)# ip address address mask Sets the IP address for the multilink group.

• address—The IP address.

• mask—The IP netmask.

Command Purpose




Selects the interface to configure and enters interface configuration mode.

Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp Enables PPP encapsulation.

Router(config-if)# multilink-group group-number

Assigns the interface to a multilink bundle.

• group-number—The multilink group number for the T1 or E1 bundle.

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink Enables multilink PPP on the interface.

Repeat these commands for each interface you want to assign to the multilink bundle.



Disabling the Fragmentation on an MLPPP Bundle (optional)


Configuring APS

Automatic protection switching (APS) allows switchover of the channelized OC3/OC12 channels in the event of failure. APS refers to the mechanism of using a protect interface in the network as the backup for a working 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.

MLPPP MR-APS switchover time on all serial SPAs that support PPP encapsulation and APS on the SIP 400 is enhanced in 12.2(33) SRD2 release. MLPPP APS switchover time on the Cisco 7600 platform is a combination of the time spent executing the software and the time required for LCP, IPCP negotiations by the newly forwarding MLP Bundle. In 12.2(33) SRD2, Cisco 7600 platform software is optimized to help faster MLPPP APS switchover time.

Further, to help reduce the LCP, IPCP negotiation time, the granularity of the ppp timeout retry command is also enhanced in 12.2(33)SRD2, to include millisecond values. The PPP timeout retry determines how long the PPP state machine for LCP waits for a response from the remote peer before transmitting the next configuration request packet. The first configuration request packet from the new active APS router is used by the APS unaware router to bring down the PPP sessions. The second configuration request packet from the new active APS router triggers LCP negotiation.

There is no change in the Default PPP timeout retry value (2secs). In SRD2 release, minimum supported configurable ppp timeout retry value is 255msec.

Command Purpose


Router(config)# interface multilink


Creates a multilink interface and enters multilink interface mode.

• group-number—The group number for the multilink bundle. Range 1-65535

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink fragment-delay delay

Sets the fragmentation size satisfying the configured delay on the multilink bundle.

• delay—delay in milliseconds

Command Purpose


Router(config)# interface multilink group-number

Creates a multilink interface and enters multilink interface mode.

• group-number—The group number for the multilink bundle. Range 1-65535

Router(config-if)# no ppp multilink fragmentation

Disables the fragmentation on the multilink bundle.



Note Configuring the PPP retry timeout to be 250ms increases the CPU load on the router but the faster PPP retry timeout speeds up the PPP re-negotiation to help the overall switchover time

The performance enhancement of PPP/MLPPP APS does not impact the original PPP/MLPPP scalability on Cisco 7600.

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

Configuring MLFR

Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) allows you to combine T1/E1 lines into a bundle that has the combined bandwidth of multiple T1/E1 lines. You choose the number of bundles and the number of T1/E1 lines in each bundle. This allows you to increase the bandwidth of your network links beyond that of a single T1/E1 line.

MLFR Configuration Guidelines

MLFR will function in hardware if all of the following conditions are met:

• Only T1 or E1 member links

• All links are on the same SPA

• Maximum of 12 links in a bundle

• Only supported on OC3/STM-1 SPA on SIP-200

Create a Multilink Bundle

To create a multilink bundle, use the following commands:

Assign an Interface to a Multilink Bundle


Command Purpose


Router(config)# interface mfr number Configures a multilink Frame Relay bundle interface.

• number—The number for the Frame Relay bundle.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink bid name

(Optional) Assigns a bundle identification name to a multilink Frame Relay bundle.

• name—The name for the Frame Relay bundle.

Note The bundle identification (BID) will not go into effect until the interface has gone from the down state to the up state. One way to bring the interface down and back up again is by using the shut and no shut commands in interface configuration mode.

Command Purpose




Selects the interface to assign.



Verifying Multilink Frame Relay

Use the show frame-relay multilink detailed command to verify the Frame Relay multilinks:

router# show frame-relay multilink detailed

Bundle: MFR49, State = down, class = A, fragmentation disabled BID = MFR49 No. of bundle links = 1, Peer's bundle-id = Bundle links:

Serial6/0/0:0, HW state = up, link state = Add_sent, LID = test Cause code = none, Ack timer = 4, Hello timer = 10, Max retry count = 2, Current count = 0,

Router(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay mfr number [name]

Creates a multilink Frame Relay bundle link and associates the link with a bundle.

• number—The number for the Frame Relay bundle.


Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink lid name

(Optional) Assigns a bundle link identification name with a multilink Frame Relay bundle link.


Note The bundle link identification (LID) will not go into effect until the interface has gone from the down state to the up state. One way to bring the interface down and back up again is by using the shut and no shut commands in interface configuration mode.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink hello seconds

(Optional) Configures the interval at which a bundle link will send out hello messages. The default value is 10 seconds.

• seconds—Number of seconds between hello messages sent out over the multilink bundle.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink ack seconds

(Optional) Configures the number of seconds that a bundle link will wait for a hello message acknowledgment before resending the hello message. The default value is 4 seconds.

• seconds—Number of seconds a bundle link will wait for a hello message acknowledgment before resending the hello message.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink retry number

(Optional) Configures the maximum number of times a bundle link will resend a hello message while waiting for an acknowledgment. The default value is 2 tries.

• number—Maximum number of times a bundle link will resend a hello message while waiting for an acknowledgment.

Command Purpose



Peer LID = , RTT = 0 ms Statistics: Add_link sent = 21, Add_link rcv'd = 0, Add_link ack sent = 0, Add_link ack rcv'd = 0, Add_link rej sent = 0, Add_link rej rcv'd = 0, Remove_link sent = 0, Remove_link rcv'd = 0, Remove_link_ack sent = 0, Remove_link_ack rcv'd = 0, Hello sent = 0, Hello rcv'd = 0, Hello_ack sent = 0, Hello_ack rcv'd = 0, outgoing pak dropped = 0, incoming pak dropped = 0

FRF.12 Guidelines

FRF.12 functions in hardware and it is supported only onOC-3/STM-1 SPA with SIP200 only. Note the following:

• Only 3 fragmentation sizes are available - 128 bytes, 256 bytes, and 512 bytes.The supported fragment sizes - 128, 256 and 512 - include the FRF and NLPID headers in addition to the payload.

• If you have a configuration where a C7600 router acts as a Provider Edge(PE) router between Customer Edge(CE) routers, you can configure C7600 in plain Frame Relay or Frame Relay Fragmentation mode. If you enable Frame Relay Fragmentation only at the CE routers and C7600 acts as a plain Frame Relay interface, the configuration works fine. In a configuration of C7600 with any of the three SPAs(8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA,1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA or 2 or 4-Port CT3 SPA), where Frame Relay is configured on the serial interface and Frame Relay Fragmentation is enabled in any of the sub interfaces, the fragmented packets may be dropped in the transparant DLCIs. If you want such a configuration to work, you should set the fragment size value on the main interface larger than any CE router fragmentation size using the command frame-relay fragment x end-to-end, where x is the fragmentation size on the main interface.

LFI Guidelines

LFI can function two ways - using FRF.12 or MLPPP. MLPPP LFI can be done in both hardware and software while FRF.12 LFI is done only in hardware.

HW MLPPP LFI Guidelines

LFI using MLPPP will function only in hardware if there is just one member link in the MLPPP bundle. The link can be a fractional T1 or full T1. Note the following:

• The ppp multilink interleave command needs to be configured to enable interleaving.

• Only three fragmentation sizes are supported - 128 bytes, 256 bytes, and 512 bytes.

• Fragmentation is enabled by default, the default size being 512 bytes.

• A policy-map having a priority class needs to applied to main interface.

• Effective 12.2 SRB release, the bundle scale on a SIP200 is increased from 256 to 1024.

FRF.12 LFI Guidelines

LFI using FRF.12 is always done is hardware. Note the following:

• The fragmentation is configured at the main interface

• Only 3 fragmentation sizes are available - 128 bytes, 256 bytes, and 512 bytes.


Chapter 21 Configuring 1-Port ChOC-3/STM-1 and ChOC-12 / STM-4 SPAs Verifying the Interface Configuration

• A policy-map having a priority class needs to applied to main interface.

Configuring QoS Features on Serial SPAs

The SIPs and SPAs support many QoS features using modular QoS CLI (MQC) configuration. For information about the QoS features supported by the serial SPAs, see the Configuring QoS Features on Serial SPAs, page 21-27 of Chapter 5, “Configuring the SIPs and SSC.”

Saving the Configuration

Caution When you swap a SPA-1XCHSTM1/OC3-V2 (Pb-free) SPA with a SPA-1XCHSTM1/OC3 (Pb) SPA or vice-versa, configuration is not retained.

To save your running configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), use the following command in privileged EXEC configuration mode:

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.

Verifying the Interface ConfigurationBesides using the show running-configuration command to display your Cisco 7600 series router configuration settings, you can use the show interface serial and the show controllers serial commands to get detailed information on a per-port basis for your1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA.

Verifying Per-Port Interface StatusTo find detailed interface information on a per-port basis for the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA use the show interface serial command.

The following example provides sample output for interface port 0 on the SPA located in the second subslot of the Cisco 7600 SIP-200 installed in slot 2 of a Cisco 7600 series router in ct3 mode of SONET framing:

Configuration TasksThis section describes common configurations for the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA on a Cisco 7600 series router. It contains procedures for the following configurations:

• Configuring CRTP, page 21-28

Configuring CRTPFor information on configuring cRTP, see Configuring Distributed Compressed Real-Time Protocol at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/qos/configuration/guide/qcfdcrtp.html

Stateful MLPPP MR-APSMulti Router-Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS) provides Layer 1 switchover under 50 ms, across the two routers, for optical links . However, if the MLPPP/PPP sessions exist on the optical link during an MR-APS switchover, all the active Multilink Point to Point Protocol (MLPPP)/Point to Point Protocol (PPP) sessions need to renegotiate. The renegotiation process increases the switchover time and traffic loss. The Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy feature provides the Inter Chassis-Stateful Switchover (IC-SSO) for MLPPP and PPP sessions across the two routers without the PPP/MLPPP session renegotiation.




Chapter 21 Configuring 1-Port ChOC-3/STM-1 and ChOC-12 / STM-4 SPAs Stateful MLPPP MR-APS

The IC-SSO synchronizes the MLPPP sessions between the router hosting the active (working) MR-APS controllers and the router hosting the standby (protect) MR-APS controllers. Using the state information synchronized from the router hosting the active MR-APS controllers, the second router (with standby MR-APS controllers) maintains the forwarding plane in ready state to forward the traffic immediately after an MR-APS switchover occurs.

The Inter-chassis MR-APS MLPPP SSO combines existing IOS High Availability (HA) infrastructure that synchronizes PPP/MLPPPP states between the route processors on the same router chassis along with the Inter Chassis Redundancy Manager (ICRM), to provide stateful switchover of PPP/MLPPP sessions across the routers. This feature is supported on 1xCHOC3-STM1 SPA and 1xCHOC12-STM4 SPA. The 1xCHOC12-STM4 SPA is supported on SIP400 line card only and 1xCHOC3-STM1 is supported on SIP200 and SIP400 line cards for Cisco 7600 Series Routers.

Note For platform independent information of this feature, see the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/wan/configuration/guide/15_1s/wan_15_1s_book.html

MR-APS DeploymentThe MR-APS deployment involves multiple cell sites connected to the provider network using the bundled T1/E1 connections. The T1/E1 connections are aggregated into the Optical Carrier 3 (OC3) or Optical Carrier 12 (OC12) links using the Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADMs).

Figure 21-1 shows the MR-APS deployment using the Cisco 7600 Routers.

Figure 21-1 MR-APS Deployment

To implement this feature, you need to configure the MR-APS IC-SSO on the two Cisco 7600 Routers, Working and Protect, as shown in this figure.

Unlike the conventional SSO model, where one router is active and the other is in standby mode, MR-APS deployment involves both the routers (Working and Protect) in active state with synchronized SONET controllers on both the routers. The controllers running on one router are in the standby mode on the other router and vice versa. When the MR-APS detects a failure in a SONNET OC3 or OC12 controller on the Working router, it activates the corresponding standby controller on the Protect router. This switchover from inactive to active state ensures minimum traffic outage and is achieved by ensuring that the MLPPP/PPP sessions per SONET controller (APS group) are stateful across the routers.

Inter Chassis Redundancy ManagerICRM provides these capabilities for stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy implementation:

• Node health monitoring for complete node, PE, or box failure detection. ICRM also communicates failures to the applications registered with an ICRM group.

• Reliable data channels to transfer the state information.

• Detects active RP failure as node failure and notifies the controllers.

• ICRM on the standby RP re-establishes the communication channel with peer node if the active RP fails.

Automatic Protection SwitchingAPS allows switchover of the OC3 or OC12 controllers in the event of a network failure. APS involves a protect interface in the network as the backup for an active (working) interface. When the active interface fails, the protect interface quickly takes care of the traffic load. Depending on the configuration, the two interfaces may be terminated on the same router, or on different routers. Based on where the interfaces terminates, APS is categorized into two types: Single Router-APS (SR-APS) and Multi Router-APS (MR-APS). Additionally, the APS is responsible for managing the active and standby progression events on the APS groups. Each APS group is a logical representation of a physical SONET controller redundancy state.

For more information on APS, see Configuring APS.

Failure Protection ScenariosThe Stateful MLPPP feature provides network resiliency by protecting against:

• Active APS SONET controller, SPA, or Line card failure

• RP and Node failure

Active APS SONET controller, SPA, or Line card failure

Figure 21-2 shows MLPPP sessions in MR-APS configuration before an active APS group fails. On the Router A active RP, grp1 is the APS group1 and group2 is the APS group 2. All the sessions of the group1 are active and all the sessions of group2 are standby on Router A. Similarly, on the Router B, all the sessions of the group2 are active and all the sessions of group1 are in the standby state.

When an APS group on Router A fails, the APS informs the corresponding standby APS group on the Router B to take over as active APS group. The standby APS group on Router B changes state to the active and all the sessions in the group become active. The APS group on Router A is re-initialize and moved to the standby state. Figure 21-3 shows how the MLPPP sessions switchover after an active APS (group1) fails:

Figure 21-3 MLPPP Sessions After an Active APS Group Fails

Route Processor and Node failure

The ICRM treats an active RP failure as a complete node failure. It sends the failure notification and communicates the go-active event to the standby APS groups. The standby APS groups move to active state on receiving the go-active event message. When the failed node comes up, the ICRM establishes fresh connection with all the APS groups on the node. All the APS groups are synchronized between the two routers, and the APS groups on the second router are moved to the standby state.

Figure 21-4 shows APS groups on the two peer nodes, Router A and Router B.

Figure 21-4 APS Groups on Peer Nodes

When the active RP of the Router A fails, the APS groups are switched over to the Router B making all the APS groups on the Router B active. All the APS groups on the standby RP of Router A are set to the initial state after the standby RP changes to active on the Router A. The applications that are RP SSO aware (non ICRM clients) switchover to the standby RP on Router A. Figure 21-5 shows the APS groups after the active RP on the Router A fails.

Figure 21-5 APS Groups After the Active RP on Router A Fails

The ICRM establishes fresh connections with the new active RP on the Router A and the APS synchronizes the group states from Router B to Router A (in standby state). This event triggers all the APS groups on Router A to move to standby state and the synchronization process is initiated from the Router B. On the Router A, the failed RP reboots as the new standby RP and RP SSO aware applications are synchronized to the new standby RP.

Restrictions for Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis RedundancyFollowing restrictions apply for Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy:

• Both the routers should have same MR-APS configuration.

• The In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) functionality is not supported.

• Applications running over MLP/PPP sessions such as the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are not synchronized across the routers. On the APS switchover, IGMP joints and TCP sessions are re-established.

• APS session throttling for the groups is not supported.

• Broadband sessions such as Point-to-Point Protocol over X (PPPoX) and IP are not supported.

• Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) features are not supported on APS groups.

• The Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) protocol is not supported for MR-APS switchover.

• APS revertive mode is not supported.

Configuring Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis RedundancyTo configure Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy, you need to configure the two Cisco 7600 Series Routers with ICRM and MR-APS configuration. Figure 21-1 shows typical infrastructure for Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy implementation.

The configuration involves these steps:

• Configuring MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy on the Working Router

• Configuring MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy on the Protect Router

Removing Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis RedundancyComplete these steps to remove Stateful MLPPP with MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy implementation from the Working and Protect routers:

Summary Steps

1. enable


3. controller sonet slot|bay|port

4. shutdown

5. no aps interchassis group icrm-group-number

6. no aps group group_id

7. no aps [working | protect] aps-group-number [ip_address_of_working]



8. no shutdown


10. redundancy

11. no interchassis group group-id

12. end

DETAILED STEPS

Command Purpose

Step 1 enable

Example:Protect-Router>enable







Example:Protect-Router(config)#controller SONET 1/2/0

Configures a SONET controller and enters the controller configuration mode.


Step 4 shutdown

Example:Protect-Router(config)#shutdown


Step 5 no aps interchassis group icrm-group-number

Example:Protect-Router(config-controller)#no aps interchassis group 1

Removes an APS group from an ICRM group number.

Step 6 no aps group group_id

Example:Protect-Router(config-controller)#no aps group 1

Unconfigures the APS group for a SONET controller.

Step 7 no aps [working | protect] aps-group-number [ip_address_of_working]

Example:Protect-Router(config-controller)#no aps working 1

Unconfigures the APS working or protect configuration.



Configuration Example

This example describes how to remove MR-APS Inter-Chassis Redundancy configuration from a router.

Router>enableRouter#configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Router(config)#controller SONET 3/2/0Router(config-controller)#shutdownRouter(config-controller)#no aps interchassis group 1Router(config-controller)#no aps group 1Router(config-controller)#no aps working 1Router(config-controller)#no shutdownRouter(config-controller)#exitRouter(config)#redundancy Router(config-red)#no interchassis group 1Router(config-red)#end

Step 8 no shutdown

Example:Protect-Router(config-controller)#no shutdown


Step 9 end






Step 11 redundancy

Example:Protect-Router(config)#redundancy


Step 12 no interchassis group group-id

Example:Protect-Router(config-red)#no interchassis group 1

Unconfigures an interchassis group within the redundancy configuration mode.

Step 13 end
