Caution This is a Class 1 laser product. Before using this product, see the translations for this warning and other warnings that apply to this product in the Safety Information and Warnings section in the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Series Router document and in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Feature Overview

The Cisco uBR10012 Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) OC12 single-mode fiber, long reach (SML) dynamic packet transport (DPT) adapter card provides shared IP connectivity over SONET capability for the Cisco uBR10012 series router platform.

The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN card is a double-width card that requires two network uplink card slots in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. If you are installing two adapter cards, they should be installed in slots 2/0 and 4/0 in the chassis. If you are installing only one adapter card, it can be installed in either slot 2/0, 3/0, or 4/0 in the chassis.

This section contains the following information:

Spatial Reuse Protocol Overview

Creating a DPT Ring

Understanding DPT Topology

Overview of the Intelligent Protection Switch Feature

Spatial Reuse Protocol Overview

Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) is a media-independent MAC layer protocol that operates over two counter-rotating fiber-optic rings. The dual rings provide survivability of data in case of a failed node or a break in connecting cables by rerouting the data path over the alternate ring.

The SRP dual-ring topology offers a number of advantages over other technologies, including minimal protocol overhead, statistical multiplexing, and support for priority traffic at the MAC layer. An SRP ring does not require a software-based station management transfer (SMT) protocol or the ring master negotiation that is used in other ring-based protocols.

SRP provides a more efficient use of bandwidth by having packets traverse only the part of the ring necessary to get to the destination node. Once the packet has reached the destination node, it is removed from the ring, allowing other parts of the ring to reuse the bandwidth. Because each ring node can source packets onto the ring concurrently, this maximizes ring bandwidth.

Data packets travel on one ring, while associated control packets travel in the opposite direction on the alternate ring, ensuring that the data takes the shortest path to its destination. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1 DPT Ring

Each node on a DPT ring represents a Cisco uBR10012 router or another Cisco router using a similar OC12 DPT WAN card (such as a Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Router (GSR), Cisco 7500 series router, or a Cisco uBR7246 VXR universal broadband router. A DPT ring can contain up to 32 nodes at one time, with each node holding a map of the ring topology that it continually updates to ensure that data takes the shortest path to its destination. The frequency of the updating can be manually configured.

The DPT interface uses the SONET ring architecture, which provides redundancy and protection from a failed node or fiber cut through the use of the Intelligent Protection Switch (IPS). When the DPT ring topology changes because of a node failure, as shown in Figure 2, the system software automatically puts the node into pass-through mode, where data continues to pass through the node, but the node is no longer seen on the ring topology map.

Figure 2 DPT Ring with a Node in Pass-Through Mode

In the event of a fiber cut, ring wraps are created to redirect data traffic over the alternate ring. In both pass-through mode and wrap mode, data packets not destined for the affected node still reach their destination. See Figure 3.

Figure 3 DPT Ring in Wrap Mode

Creating a DPT Ring

A DPT ring may contain as many as 32 nodes, or as few as 2 nodes. This section illustrates the layout and configuration of a simple three-node DPT ring.

Before the DPT ring can be created, each node (Cisco uBR10012 router or other Cisco router with a DPT port adapter) must have a DPT WAN card installed and configured. After the individual nodes are configured, the inner and outer rings of the DPT ring must be connected as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 Three-Node DPT Ring

To achieve this configuration, you must connect the DPT WAN cards as shown in Figure 5, being careful to observe the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) cable relationship.

Figure 5 Internodal Connections of a Three-Node DPT Ring


Note Side A (RX outer/TX inner) of the DPT WAN card or port adapter must be connected to side B (TX outer/RX inner) of the DPT WAN card or port adapter in the next node in the ring. See the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Series Router for more details on how to connect cables to the DPT WAN card. The location of the Side A and Side B connectors on other OC-12 port adapters might be different from those on the DPT WAN card. See the documentation for those other cards for details.

Understanding DPT Topology

Every node on a DPT ring maintains a topology map of the ring so that it knows where to route traffic. It updates the topology map by periodically sending out a query, called a topology discovery packet, out onto the ring. Each node on the ring adds its own MAC address to the packet and resends the packet.

When the discovery packet returns to the originating node, the node uses the contents of the packet to update its node topology map. This ensures that each node has a real-time view of the DPT ring's topology and can respond quickly to any breaks in the ring.


Tip You can use the srp topology-timer command to set the frequency with which the node sends out topology discovery packets. Use the show srp topology command is used to display the MAC addresses of each node on a DPT ring.


Overview of the Intelligent Protection Switch Feature

The Intelligent Protection Switch (IPS) feature ensures that ring traffic flow continues uninterrupted even if device or ring failures occur. IPS protects the DPT ring by initiating ring wraps that route traffic in the opposite direction over the alternate ring.

The system software creates ring wraps by issuing an IPS request when failures are detected. Five different IPS requests are recognized. These five types of IPS requests are hierarchical, with higher-priority requests taking precedence over lower-priority requests.

Table 2 lists the types of IPS requests in order of priority.

Software


For example, if a signal failure was detected at the same time that an operator entered a manual switch request, the system would create the ring wrap at the point of signal failure, and the manual switch would be ignored.


Tip The IPS feature is configured using the srp ips interface configuration commands, which are described in the documentation listed in the "Related Documents" section.


Benefits

The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN card provides the following benefits:

Adding a Node to a DPT Ring

This section describes how to install and configure a Cisco uBR10012 router with a DPT WAN card as a node in the DPT ring. Before proceeding, verify that you have successfully installed and configured a DPT WAN card in the Cisco uBR10012 router, as described in the "Performing a Basic Configuration" section.

To add a node to a DPT ring, you must perform the following procedures in the order given:

"Forcing a Ring Wrap to Create a Break in the DPT Ring" section

"Inserting the New Node" section

"Enabling the New Node" section

"Removing the Ring Wrap" section

The following sections describe the commands needed for each procedure. For the purposes of this section, the new node (the Cisco uBR10012 router with the DPT WAN card) is being inserted between Node A and Node D, as shown in Figure 6:

Figure 6 DPT Ring Topology with Four Nodes

Forcing a Ring Wrap to Create a Break in the DPT Ring

To add a node to a DPT ring, you must first reroute the traffic flow around the break where the new node is to be inserted. This is done by using the srp ips forced-switch command to force a ring wrap at that point. Use the following procedure on Node A to force a ring-wrap between Node A and Node D, as given in Figure 6.


Note You can add a node to a DPT ring without entering the srp ips forced-switch command, but you then cannot control when the traffic is rerouted and restored; the system determines the time instead.


 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router# config t

Enter global configuration mode on Node A.

Step 2 

Router(config)# int srp x/0/0

Enter interface configuration mode for the DPT WAN card on Node A, where x/0/0 identifies the appropriate slot number.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# srp ips request forced-switch a

Force a ring-wrap on the interface with Node D.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# exit

Exit global configuration mode.

After completing this procedure, the DPT ring topology changes, as shown in Figure 7:

Figure 7 DPT Ring with Ring Wraps Created by a Forced Switch


Tip Use the command show srp topology to verify that the ring wraps are in place. See the "Monitoring and Maintaining the DPT WAN Card" section.


Inserting the New Node

After forcing a ring wrap in the DPT ring to create a break for the new node, you must then insert the new node (the Cisco uBR10012 router with the DPT WAN card) into the DPT ring, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 DPT Ring Topology with an Added Node

Use the following procedure to insert the new node (Node E, the Cisco uBR10012 router with the DPT WAN card) into the DPT ring.


Step 1 Disconnect the fiber-optic cables connecting side A of node A to side B of node D.

Step 2 Connect side A of node A to side B of the new node (node E, the Cisco uBR10012 router), using two simplex or one duplex fiber-optic cable. Connect side A of Node E to side B of node D.


Note Whenever you are adding nodes to the ring, connect the cables by carefully observing the receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) cabling relationship. The labels under the fiber connectors identify side A, Tx and Rx, and side B, Tx and Rx. Be sure to connect the fiber-optic cables using the receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) cabling relationship, so that you always connect an Rx port on one SRP line card to a Tx port on the next SRP line card. Side A has outer ring receive fiber, and side B has inner ring receive fiber. Side A must be connected to side B of the adjacent node in the ring and vice versa.



Tip Be careful to observe the proper cable orientation. When using duplex cables, you must reverse one of the cable ends for correct orientation. For complete information on cabling, see the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Series Router document.


Step 3 If the DPT WAN card in the new router (node E) has not been configured, do so at this time. See the "Performing a Basic Configuration" section.


Enabling the New Node

After inserting and cabling the new node into the DPT ring, enable the DPT WAN card on the new node (node E), using the following procedure.

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router# config t

Enter global configuration mode on the new node (node E, the Cisco uBR10012 router).

Step 2 

Router(config)# int srp x/0/0

Enter interface configuration mode for the DPT WAN card, where x/0/0 identifies the appropriate slot number.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enable the DPT WAN card on the new node (node E, the Cisco uBR10012 router).

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# exit

Exit global configuration mode.

Step 5 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Save the changes in the permanent configuration file in NVRAM.


Tip Use the command show srp topology to verify that the ring wraps are in place. See the "Monitoring and Maintaining the DPT WAN Card" section.


Removing the Ring Wrap

The final step in inserting a new node is to remove the ring wrap on node A. Use the following procedure on node A to remove the ring wrap and to start passing traffic through the new node (node E, the Cisco uBR10012 router).

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router# config t

Enter global configuration mode on node A.

Step 2 

Router(config)# int srp x/0/0

Enter interface configuration mode for the DPT WAN card on node A, where x/0/0 identifies the appropriate slot number.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# no srp ips request forced-switch a

Remove the ring wraps that were created between node A and node D.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# exit

Exit global configuration mode.

Step 5 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Save the changes in the permanent configuration file in NVRAM.


Tip Use the command show srp topology to verify that the ring wraps are in place. See the "Monitoring and Maintaining the DPT WAN Card" section.


Removing a Node from a DPT Ring

Use the following procedure to remove an existing node from a DPT ring. This procedure assumes you are removing node D from the DPT ring shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 DPT Ring Topology with Four Nodes


Step 1 Isolate node D by entering the srp ips request forced-switch a command on the node A router, and the srp ips request forced-switch b command on the node C router. For example, if node A is a Cisco uBR10012 router with a DPT WAN card in slot 2/0, you would issue the following commands:

NodeA-Router# config t 
NodeA-Router(config) int s2/0/0 
NodeA-Router(config-if)# srp ips request forced-switch a 
NodeA-Router(config-if)# exit 
NodeA-Router(config)# exit 
NodeA-Router# 

If node C is a Cisco uBR10012 router with a DPT WAN card in slot 4/0, you would issue the following commands:

NodeC-Router# config t 
NodeC-Router(config) int s4/0/0 
NodeC-Router(config-if)# srp ips request forced-switch b 
NodeC-Router(config-if)# exit 
NodeC-Router(config)# exit 
NodeC-Router# 

Step 2 Enter the show srp topology command on either router to verify that the ring wraps are in place and that node D no longer exists on the ring. (See the "Monitoring and Maintaining the DPT WAN Card" section.)

Step 3 Disconnect both ends of the cable connecting side A of node D to side A of node C.

Step 4 Disconnect the cable connected to side B of node D and connect it to side B of node C.

Step 5 Remove the two ring wraps created by the forced switch on nodes A and C by entering the no srp ips request forced-switch a command on node A, and no srp ips request forced-switch b command on node C.

Step 6 Enable IP routing by entering the ip routing command to restart data traffic across the DPT ring.

The following example shows a typical display when the DPT WAN card has been disabled with the shutdown command:

Router# show interfaces srp 2/0/0 
SRP2/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down
  Hardware is SRP, address is 0000.1010.1010 (bia 0005.00e1.44cc)
  Internet address is 200.1.1.10/24
  MTU 4470 bytes, BW 622000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,

     Side B: not wrapped   IPS local: IDLE           IPS remote: IDLE
Router# 

Another quick way of displaying a card's status is with the show protocols command:

Router# show protocols srp 2/0/0 
  SRP2/0/0 is up, line protocol is up 

Displaying Hardware Information

To display hardware information about the DPT WAN card, use the show diag and the show controllers srp commands. The following is a typical display for the show diag command for a DPT WAN card:

Displaying the DPT Ring Topology

To display the topology of the DPT ring, use the show srp topology command. The following is a typical display for a Cisco uBR10012 router with two DPT WAN cards installed in slots 2/0 and 4/0. The key components of the display are the list of nodes in the DPT ring, the frequency of the topology discovery packets, the time that a topology discovery packet was last received, and the time that the topology of the DPT ring actually changed.

Displaying Packet Information

You can count the number of packets from a specific MAC address with the srp count interface configuration command. You can then display the number of packets received or rejected with the show srp source-counters command. For example:

Router# config t 
Router(config)# int srp2/0/0 
Router(config-if)# srp count aaaa.bbbb.cccc 
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# exit 
Router# 
... 
Router# show srp source-counters 

 Source Address Information for Interface SRP2/0/0
    aaaa.bbbb.cccc, index 1, pkt. count 1201
    aaaa.bbbb.cccc, reject, pkt. count 400
