Infrastructure Aspects

Iub

Iub: ET-MFX12 or ETMFX13

– 7 port built in Ethernet switch

– 1 SFP + 6 Electrical Eth. ports

Variant with 6 SFP and 1

Electrical ports available (ETMFX13)

– Synch server

RBS 3810 with IP (P6)

RNC 3810

Infrastructure Aspects Iub: ETMFX11

For Iub and O&M IP/Ethernet interface with optional Ethernet switch 1 SFP + 6 Electrical Eth. ports Synch client

RBS with CBU In P6.0, only RBS nodes equipped with CBU boards

can be configured for IP transport.

RBS without CBU In P6.1 support for IP transport is also possible with

older RBS nodes (RBS2/3), with upgraded HW (GPB and TUB).

The RBS has to be equipped with a GPB with at least 512 MB RAM. The recommended version is ROJ 119 2106/51, revision R2 or later.

The RBS has to be equipped with a Timing Unit Board 2 (TUB 2) variant.

IP Addressing/VLAN - OverviewBasic principles:

Logical separation of O&M and traffical IP Transport VLAN ID 100-110 traffic, VLAN ID 900-910 O&M (typical) Share physical resources

One-to-one mapping Subnetwork <-> VLAN Traffical and O&M IP networks can use private IP addresses

(see RFC 1918) The recommendation is to use addresses from the 10-network

(10.x.y.z) IP Addressing considerations:

Addressing for Iu/Iur in RNC (common with CN Nodes) Iub IP Transport

L3 based (one subnet per node) L2 based (large subnets)

O&M IP Addressing

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

The ET-MFX board is the key product to be installed in the RNC in order to handle Iub traffic over IP

For Installing the ET-MFX boards in the RNC confirm that the following prerequisites are fulfilled

ET-MFX12 boards are available

RNC is Hardware R4 or higher

The RNC has available slots for installing the new ET-MFX12 boards, Extension sub-rack preferred

The RNC is running P6 software

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

The appropriate cable kits and applicable ICF connections plates are available

A Thin Client configured to run EMAS

Java 1.4.2_8 or higher is installed on the Thin Client

Mo and/or BCT configuration scripts are available and prepared according to network IP address plan

OSS R5.3 up and running in case of BCT files are used

Procedure to install ET-MFX Board on RNCOpen RNC Element ManagerAssure that the slot is available

Figure above show slot 4th is available

Verify that Auto Configuration is activatedAutoConfigurationAllowed -> True

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

Before Installing the ET-MFX12 boards. The ET-MFX12 Software Allocation role must be assigned to the right slots,

Run Expand RNC Tool Part 1

Run the RNC Hardware Configuration Tool – Part 1

Go to Tool -> RNC Hardware Configuration Tool. Then assign software allocation to the ET-MFX slot. Then press Apply.

Select for slot(s) appropriate Software Allocation Role

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

Go back to the MS (Main subrack) frame and insert the RNC UserId and Password in the blank field, then press Apply

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

Run Expand RNC Tool Part 2 Insert the RNC UserId and Password in the blank field, then press Apply

Install and configure ET-MFX12 boards in the RNC

Keep this locked for RBS. Because RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is not used in RBS

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is used for protection switching in the Ethernet network, so that a failure in a single board does not stop the traffic from any other board and so that for any one failing link there is always a combination of other links that can transfer the traffic (board protection)
