Synchronization Protocol Configuration

In the application scenario of dual-homing, the status of the peer equipment needs to be obtainedfor the MC LAG. Meanwhile, the actions on both sides need to be negotiated based on differentfault cases. With the method of adding information of the peer end, a channel is established forcontrol status synchronization with the peer end. In this manner, the control packets can betransmitted and received through the channel and link fault detection can be performed.

LAG/MC LAG Configuration

A LAG aggregates multiple Ethernet physical links to form a logical link of faster rate fortransmitting data. This function improves the link availability and increases link capacity.

The MC LAG supports the ability to share load between aggregation group equipment.

The U2000 Web LCT supports the ability to set the following LAG/MC LAG attributes:

l Load sharing type, including sharing and non-sharing



40

l LAG type, including manual and staticl Load sharing hash algorithm of the LAGl Port priority and system priority of the LAG

LMSP ConfigurationLinear MSP protection contains 1+1 linear MSP and 1:N linear MSP. They use the protectionchannel to protect services that are transmitted on the working channel. When the workingchannel fails, services are switched to the protection channel. The linear MSP applies to the POSinterface and structured STM interface.

The U2000 Web LCT supports the following functions of LMSP configuration:

l Creates a linear MSP.l Checks the linear MSP switching status.l Performs linear MSP switching.

MSTP ConfigurationThe multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) can be used to clear loops on a network. Using analgorithm, the MSTP blocks redundant trails so that the loop network can be trimmed as a non-loop tree network. In this case, broadcast storms caused by the proliferation and endless cyclingof packets on the loop network do not occur. Different from the STP and RSTP that use onlyone spanning tree to correspond to all VLANs, the MSTP introduces the mapping betweenVLANs and multiple spanning trees, and therefore can forward data according to VLAN packetsand achieve load balance of VLAN data.


l Configure parameters of port groups and network bridges.l Configure CIST and MSTI parameters.l Query CIST status and MSTI status.

IGMP Snooping ConfigurationThe Internet group management protocol snooping (IGMP snooping) is a scheme of multicastconstraints on Layer 2 equipment, and is used to manage and control multicast groups.

The U2000 Web LCT supports the configuration of IGMP snooping for E-LAN services, andprovides the following operations:l Configure IGMP Snooping protocol parameters.l Configure quick leaving ports.l Manage routes.l Configure route member ports.l Query statistics of IGMP protocol packets.

LPT ConfigurationLPT is used to return the remote-end link status to the near end. The near-end equipment performsoperations depending on the remote-end link status. When the intermediate transmission network



41

of the services becomes faulty, the LPT informs the access equipment at both ends of thetransmission network to enable the backup network. This ensures the normal transmission ofthe important data.

The Hybrid MSTP NEs support configuring point-to-point LPT and point-to-multipoint LPT.

QoS ConfigurationQoS indicates the performance of the data flow that travels through a network. The QoS is usedto ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot increase the bandwidth, but it can minimizethe delay and jitter in the network by appropriately allocating and monitoring network resources.In this way, the quality of important services is ensured.

The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes that enable the DiffServfunction, that is, DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes use the same service provision policyto realize the same per-hop behavior (PHB). The DS nodes are classified into edge DS nodesand internal DS nodes. The edge DS nodes usually perform complex flow classification on thetraffic that enters the DS domain. Traffic of different types is marked with different PHB servicetypes. For internal DS nodes, you need to perform only simple flow classification based on PHBservice type.

The U2000 Web LCT supports the following QoS functions:

l Configures QoS profiles.l Configures DiffServ domains.l Configures ATM CoS mapping.l Configures simple flow classification and complex flow classification.l Configures CAR and Shaping.l Configures the WFQ scheduling policy.l Configures the port WRED policy.l Configures the service WRED policy.l Configures WRR scheduling policy.l To simplify the operation and share some common QoS configuration parameters, the

PW APS Configuration

As a network protection mechanism, PW automatic protection switching (APS) is intended toprotect the services on the working PW with a protection PW. That is, when the working PW isfaulty, the services on the working PW are switched to the protection PW. In this manner, theservices on the working PW are protected.

You can perform the following PW APS operations on a per-NE basis:

E-Line Service ConfigurationThe E-line service is a point-to-point Ethernet service. The equipment transmits user packetsfrom the user side to the network side based on Port or Port+VLAN. In this way, service datacan be transparently transmitted in a point-to-point manner.

See Figure 2-2. Company A has branches in City 1 and City 3. Company C has branches in City1 and City 2. Branches of Company A or Company C that are in different cities have datacommunication requirements.

E-AGGR Service ConfigurationE-AGGR services are multipoint-to-point Ethernet services. The equipment uses several portsto access services from the V-UNI side, and converges the services into one PW at the networkside for transmission. In this way, service data from multiple points can be converged into onepoint.

See Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4. One carrier wants to construct a 3G network. Services of eachNode B are converged and transported to the RNC. The data between each Node B and RNC isregarded as one service. At the convergence point, the QoS parameters such as the overallbandwidth are specified.

QoS ConfigurationQuality of service (QoS) refers to the performance of the data flow transmission in a network.The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot enhance the bandwidth,but it can minimize the delay and jitter in a network by properly allocating and monitoringnetwork resources. In this way, the service quality is ensured.

The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes with the DiffServ function.Nodes of this type are also called DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes adopt the same serviceprovisioning policy to achieve the same per-hop behavior (PHB). DS nodes are classified intoedge DS nodes and internal DS nodes. Edge DS nodes usually perform complex flowclassification on the traffic that enters the DS domain. Traffic of different types is marked withdifferent PHB service types. Internal DS nodes only need to perform simple flow classificationbased on PHB service types.

The U2000 Web LCT supports the following QoS configurations:l Configure Diffserv domains.l Configure ATM CoS mapping.l Configure simple flow classification and complex flow classification.l Configure CAR and shaping.l Configure WFQ scheduling policies.l Configure port WRED policies.l Configure WRR scheduling policies.l Simplify operations and share some common QoS configuration parameters. The U2000

Web LCT enables users to create QoS function point policies. The function point policiesconsist of port policies, ATM policies, and V-UNI ingress policies. By using these functionpoint policies, you can bind configurations for CAR attributes, shaping attributes, flowclassification attributes, WFQ scheduling policies, WRED policies and WRR schedulingpolicies.

MS PW ConfigurationBy creating multi step (MS)-PW to transmit services, you can transmit services over differentnetworks while saving tunnel resources.



75

PW Dual-Homing Protection Configuration

As a network protection mechanism, PW automatic protection switching (APS) is intended toprotect the services on the working PW with a protection PW. That is, when the working PW isfaulty, the services on the working PW are switched to the protection PW. In this manner, theservices on the working PW are protected.

As a network protection mechanism, PW fast protection switching (FPS) is intended to protectthe services on the working PW with a protection PW. That is , when the working PW, coreequipment or link between core equipment and RNC(Radio Network Controller) is faulty, thenode core equipment switches services to the protection PW. In this manner, services areprotected.

4 Creating NEs

About This Chapter

Each actual OptiX series equipment is represented as an NE on the Web LCT. Before the WebLCT manages the actual equipment, you need to create the corresponding NEs on the Web LCT.There are two ways of creating NEs: creating an NE (searching for the NEs) and creating an NEmanually. When you need to create a large number of NEs, for example, during deployment, itis recommended to search for NEs . When you need to create just a few NEs, it is recommendedto create the NEs manually. In special situations, for example, when the communication betweenthe Web LCT and the NE is interrupted, you can only choose the mode of create the NEsmanually.

Context

The Web LCT allows a maximum of 32 online NEs to be added.

4.1 Creating an NE (Searching for the NE)When the Web LCT communicates with the GNE properly, you can create NEs in batches bysearching for all NEs that communicate with the GNE, through the IP address of the GNE orthe network segment the IP address is associated to. This method is quicker and more accuratethan manual creation.

4.2 Creating an NE ManuallyCreating NEs manually is not as quick and precise as the searching creation. However, creatingNEs manually is applicable no matter what way of communication an NE adopts. The NEs thatuse serial ports to communicate do not support the NE search function and you must create themone by one.

4.3 Creating a USB-Connected NEAfter NEs are connected to the U2000 Web LCT through USB ports, users can access the NEsdirectly through USB ports without searching for the NE IP addresses. The U2000 Web LCTcan manage and configure NEs through USB ports.

4.4 Creating an NE Connected by Wi-FiThe U2000 Web LCT is able to manage RTN NEs using Wi-Fi. After being connected to theU2000 Web LCT by the Wi-Fi Connection tool, RTN NEs can be searched out on the U2000Web LCT. Then you can manage and configure the RTN NEs on the U2000 Web LCT.

4.5 Configuring the U2000 Web LCT to Carry VLAN IDs in the Transmitted PacketsThis topic describes how to configure the driver on the U2000 Web LCT to carry VLAN IDs inthe transmitted packets, which is a requirement for the U2000 Web LCT to manage OptiX RTN310 NEs.



102

4.1 Creating an NE (Searching for the NE)When the Web LCT communicates with the GNE properly, you can create NEs in batches bysearching for all NEs that communicate with the GNE, through the IP address of the GNE orthe network segment the IP address is associated to. This method is quicker and more accuratethan manual creation.

Prerequisitesl The network communication between the U2000 Web LCT and the NE must be normal.l The U2000 Web LCT needs to carry VLAN IDs when communicating with OptiX RTN

310 NEs. Therefore, the computer where the U2000 Web LCT is installed must beconfigured before OptiX RTN 310 NEs are created. If the NIC supports VLAN IDs in thetransmitted packets, enable the desired network service. If the NIC does not support VLANIDs in the transmitted packets, use the driver provided by the U2000 Web LCT forconfiguration. For details, see 4.5 Configuring the U2000 Web LCT to Carry VLANIDs in the Transmitted Packets.

ContextYou can create an NE by searching for the NE and the adding NE on the U2000 Web LCT. Inaddition, you can create an NE by adding the NE manually. Generally, the NE ID is not knownduring the initial NE configuration. Hence, the searching method is used to create an NE in mostcases.

You can search for the NE by quick search and advanced search.

l Quick search: The NEs that have been searched out are added to the NE list and logged into automatically You can switch to the NE Explorer directly from the Search NE dialogbox, which facilitates NE management.

l Advanced search: The NEs that have been searched out are added and logged in to manually.

NOTE

Before searching for NEs, add the corresponding gateway NEs to the U2000 Web LCT. Otherwise, loggingin to the searched NEs may fail.

Procedurel Quick search:

1. In the NE List, click NE Search > NE Search. The Search NE dialog box isdisplayed.

2. Click NMS Port or User Port to start an automatic search.



103

NOTE

l If you click NMS Port, you will search out the NEs in the same network segment as thelocal IP address will be searched out.

l If you click User Port, NEs whose service ports are directly connected to the U2000 WebLCT will be searched out. It is generally used to search for OptiX RTN 310 NEs.

3. The IP addresses of the searched out NEs are displayed in the NE IP Address drop-down list. In the NE IP Address drop-down list, select the desired IP address for NEcreation and click Apply. The NE Explorer is displayed. The NE list shows that theNE has been added and logged in to automatically.

l Advanced search:1. Click NE Search > Advanced Search in the NE List. The Search NE dialog box is

displayed.2. Click Manage Domain. The Manage Domain Search dialog box is displayed.3. Click Add, and the New Domain dialog box is displayed.4. Set Domain Type to GNE IP Domain or GNE IP Address, and enter an IP address

in the Domain Address field.

5. Click OK.

NOTE

You can repeat step c through e to add multiple search domains.

6. Click Cancel to exit the Manage Domain Search dialog box.7. Select appropriate network segment IP addresses within the search domain and click

Search.

NOTE

l The NE search function searches out only the NEs in the specified network segment.

l When the search is in progress, you can click End Search.

8. After the search is complete, select an NE from the list and click Add NE. A promptmessage is displayed, indicating that the NE is successfully added.

9. Click OK.10. Optional: In the Search NE dialog box, select one or more non-gateway NEs and

click Set Gateway NE to switch the non-gateway NEs to GNEs.

----End

Follow-up ProcedureTo prevent unauthorized operations on a new NE, change the default password for the NE useras soon as possible and subsequently change the non-default password at regular intervals.

A Service Ports Description

This appendix describes service ports of the Web LCT, related precautions, and how to querythe service ports.

iManager U2000 LCTWeb LCT User Guide A Service Ports Description


123

A.1 BackgroundThis section describes the service ports used by management systems.

To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The followingare the two cases that affect the network security:

l Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the networkenvironment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service portsused by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.

l Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks.Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMSwill not run properly.

A.2 Notes and PrecautionsIn the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) userelevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamicallycreated.

Note the following during the project implementation:

l The service ports used by the NMS should not be closed.l If there are routers or firewalls between the source and the sink, then check all ports used

by the source and the sink to make sure that they can be opened, and the source cancommunicate with the sink.

Connection point A reference point where the output of a trailtermination source or a connection is boundto the input of another connection, or wherethe output of a connection is bound to theinput of a trail termination sink or anotherconnection. The connection point ischaracterized by the information whichpasses across it. A bidirectional connectionpoint is formed by the association of acontradirectional pair.

Connection A "transport entity" which consists of anassociated pair of "unidirectionalconnections" capable of simultaneouslytransferring information in oppositedirections between their respective inputs andoutputs.

Cross-connect slot To perform GE ADM, an OTU board withthat function has to be in a cross-connect slot.Several successive cross-connect slots form across-connect unit group. You can onlyconfigure cross-connections within a cross-connect unit group.

Current performance data The performance data stored in the currentregister is called current performance data.The current 15-minute or 24-hour register(only one for each) is applied to collect theperformance data in the current monitoringperiod. It changed within the monitor period.

D

DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCCchannels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-Rchannel composed of bytes D1-D3, and theother is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channelcomposed of bytes D4-D12. All NEs cancommunicate with one another through theDCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regeneratorsection overhead and does not supportcommunications among regenerators, and itis used to support communication channels ofmore universal purpose. For example, itsupports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.

E

ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECCprovides a logical operations channelbetween SDH NEs, utilizing a datacommunications channel (DCC) as itsphysical layer.

F

Failure The fault cause persisted long enough toconsider the ability of an item to perform arequired function to be terminated. The itemmay be considered as failed; a fault has nowbeen detected.

Fault A fault is the inability of a function to performa required action. This does not include aninability due to preventive maintenance, lackof external resources, or planned actions.

H

History alarms Alarms that have cleared and beenacknowledged.

History performance data The performance data stored in the historyregister and the auto-report performance datastored on the Web LCT are called historyperformance data in a unified way.

LCT Local Craft Terminal. The LCT provides theuser with single-layer management networksolutions to the transmission network of up tofive NEs to realize integrated management ofmulti-service transmission network. Usuallyit uses the cross-over cable or serial port cableto connect one NE, so as to configure andmaintain a single NE. See also Web LCT.

N

NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interfaceof the Web LCT. For easy navigation, the NEExplorer window presents an expandabledirectory tree (Function Tree) in the lower leftpane. The configuration, management andmaintenance of the equipment are accessedhere.

NE Panel NE Panel displays subracks, boards, and portsin different colours depending on their status.In the Web LCT, most equipmentconfiguration, monitoring, and maintenanceare performed in the NE Panel window.

NE Network Element. NE includes the hardwareunit and the software running on it. Usually,one NE has at least an SCC (system controland communication) board which responsiblefor the management and monitoring of theNE. The NE software runs on the SCC board.

NM Network Management. In thetelecommunication network managementarchitecture, the Web LCT is an elementmanagement system that supports allfunctions at the element management layer.See also Web LCT.



131

Non-revertive In non-revertive switching, there is a workingand protection line, board and so on. Servicesremain on the protection line or board if theswitch requests are terminated; that is, whenthe fault that caused them to switch to theprotection line or board is cleared.

O

Online help An indexed collection of information on allaspects of the Web LCT. They can beaccessed at any time from the Help menu orby pressing the F1 key.

P

Pane A major separate area of a window or dialogbox, usually used for display rather than dataentry.

Path A trail in a path layer.

Performance register Performance register is the memory space forperformance event counts, including 15-mincurrent performance register, 24-hour currentperformance register, 15-min historyperformance register, 24-hour historyperformance register, UAT register and CSESregister.

Performance threshold Performance events usually have upper andlower thresholds. When the performanceevent count value exceeds the upperthreshold, a performance threshold-crossingevent is generated; when the performanceevent count value is below the upper thresholdfor a period of time, the performancethreshold-crossing event is ended. In thisway, performance jitter caused by somesudden events can be shielded.

Private line Both communication parties are connectedpermanently.

Procedure A generic term for an action.

Process A generic term for a collection of actions.

Protection service A specific service that is part of a protectiongroup and is labelled protection.

R



132

Route The IP route selection is in table drivingmode. In each host and each router of theInternet, there is a routing table that containsinformation about how the service istransmitted from the source to the sink,providing a basis for route selection. Ethernetstatic routing in ET1 refers to the mappingrelationship between the Ethernet port and thebound path. Its routing type includes portrouting and VLAN routing. Port routing: Itmeans configuring a route between theEthernet port and the bound path port, whichis usually used for point-to-point networkingcommunication; VLAN routing: It meansconfiguring a route between the Ethernet portand the bound path port based on the VLANservice. It can be used flexibly in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication. Theimplementation is to divide and converge thedata stream according to the VLAN flag of thepacket. As a VLAN flag can be added to theEthernet port, the equipment can be appliedmore flexibly.

Tributary loopback A fault can be located for each service pathby performing loopback to each path of thetributary board. There are three kinds ofloopback modes: No loopback, Outloop andInloop.

U

UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reportedwhen the monitored object generates 10consecutive severely errored seconds (SES)and the SESs begin to be included in theunavailable time. The event will end when thebit error ratio per second is better than 10-3within 10 consecutive seconds.

V
