APS Support on Cisco AS5850 STM-1 Interfaces

---

This feature provides SONET automatic protection switching (APS) on Cisco AS5850 STM-1 interfaces. SONET APS—also referred to as SDH multiplex section protection (MSP)—refers to the mechanism of providing fault tolerance through fiber cable redundancy in SONET/SDH networks. When the working fiber fails, the protect fiber quickly assumes its traffic load. Some command-line interface (CLI) commands are available to provide a measure of manual intervention in the APS switching process.

Prerequisites for APS Support on Cisco AS5850 STM-1 Interfaces

This feature assumes familiarity with the ITU-T G.841 Types and characteristics of SDH network protection architectures standard.

Information About APS Support on Cisco AS5850 STM-1 Interfaces

To configure SONET APS on the STM-1 card, you should understand the following concepts.

•SONET APS Using an STM-1 Card

•Benefits of SONET APS Using an STM-1 Card

SONET APS Using an STM-1 Card

SONET APS provides the ability to switch fiber cable interfaces—referred to in this feature as ports—on an STM-1 card in a Cisco AS5850. The ability to switch from one SONET port to another SONET port in response to a fiber cut or module failure, signal failure, signal degradation, or manual intervention provides redundancy.

The protection mechanism used for this feature has a linear 1+1 architecture as described in the ITU-T G.841 standard and the Bellcore publication GR-253-CORE, SONET Transport Systems; Common Generic Criteria, Section 5.3. The connection may be bidirectional or unidirectional.

In the 1+1 architecture, a protect port is paired with each working port. Normally, the protect and working ports are connected to a SONET ADM (add/drop multiplexer), which sends the same signal payload to the working and protect ports. Figure 1 shows an APS configuration with the working and protect fibers terminating in SONET ports on the STM-1 card in a Cisco AS5850.

Figure 1 APS Configuration

When SONET APS is configured and a failure is detected on the working fiber, or when switch commands are entered through the command-line interface (CLI), the software switches the traffic to the protect fiber. The software also monitors the health of the protect fiber when APS is enabled and informs the user of any problems. When the protect fiber problem is resolved, normal APS operation is resumed.

Benefits of SONET APS Using an STM-1 Card

The STM-1 card is generally deployed by medium to large service providers who have a need for a larger DS0 capacity. The main benefits of using the STM-1 card over E1 interfaces are an initial lower cost of deployment compared to deploying 63 E1 interfaces, a lower recurring monthly charge, and lower maintenance cost because only one cable is required between the Main Distribution Facility (MDF) and the Cisco AS5850 instead of 63 cables. Service providers who carry voice data do expect to have more protection on an STM-1 port than on an E1 port because the STM-1 port supports a high density of DS0s (1953). Network reliability could be severely impacted if 1953 connections are lost at the same time. SONET APS can provide the fiber protection and network resiliency expected by the service providers. The existing media gateways that support STM-1 already provide APS protection.

How to Configure APS Support on Cisco AS5850 STM-1 Interfaces

This section contains the following tasks:

•Configuring APS Support on the Cisco AS5850 (required)

•Issuing APS Switch Commands Using CLI (optional)

Configuring APS Support on the Cisco AS5850

Perform this task to enable and configure APS on SONET ports on an STM-1 trunk card.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. controller sonet slot/port

4. main-fiber port {0 | 1}

5. aps protect

6. b2 sd-ber rate

7. b2 sf-ber rate

8. aps unidirectional

9. end

10. show controllers sonet slot/port

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	controller sonet slot/port Example: Router(config)# controller sonet 1/0	Configures a SONET controller and enters controller configuration mode. •Use the slot argument to specify the slot number in which the STM-1 card resides. •The port argument is always 0 because only one port on the STM-1 card can be configured.
Step 4	main-fiber port {0 | 1} Example: Router(config-controller)# main-fiber port 1	(Optional) Specifies the working port to use for the optical link connection on the SDH/STM-1 trunk card on a Cisco AS5850. The default is port 0. •We recommend that port 1 be configured as the working port. •The other port on the STM-1 card is configured automatically as the protect port when APS is enabled. •After APS is enabled, you cannot change the main-fiber (working) port until you disable APS.
Step 5	aps protect Example: Router(config-controller)# aps protect	Enables APS on the current working SONET port. •By default, the bidirectional mode is enabled.
Step 6	b2 sd-ber rate Example: Router(config-controller)# b2 sd-ber 7	Sets the signal degrade bit error rate (BER) threshold values. •Use this command to configure the threshold for degradation of quality of signal with b2 errors. •The rate value can be in the range from 3 to 9. A higher number represents better quality, and a value of 3 represents lower quality.
Step 7	b2 sf-ber rate Example: Router(config-controller)# b2 sf-ber 4	Sets the signal failure BER threshold values. •Use this command to configure the threshold for failure of quality of signal with b2 errors. •The rate value can be in the range from 3 to 9. A higher number represents better quality, and a value of 3 represents lower quality.
Step 8	aps unidirectional Example: Router(config-controller)# aps unidirectional	Configures APS to operate in unidirectional mode. •To return to bidirectional mode, use the no form of this command.
Step 9	end Example: Router(config-controller)# end	Exits controller configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 10	show controllers sonet slot/port Example: Router# show controllers sonet 1/0	Displays information about SONET controllers. •Only partial syntax is displayed here. For more details, see the show controllers sonet command in the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference, Release 12.3 T.

Examples

The following example shows partial output from the show controllers sonet command.

Router# show controllers sonet 1/0

SONET 1/0 is up.

  Applique type is Channelized Sonet/SDH

  Clock Source is Line, AUG mapping is AU4.

Troubleshooting Tips

•Use the show controllers sonet command and look for any alarms or local and remote request information.

•Check that the ADM is sourcing the SONET clocking.

Issuing APS Switch Commands Using CLI

Perform this task to issue one or more of the optional APS switch commands when the working fiber is active but you want to switch to the protect fiber. The APS switch commands allow a measure of manual intervention in the APS process.

APS Switching Priority Levels

Each APS switch command has a priority level compared to the other APS switch commands and the signal status of the working and protect fibers. Table 1 shows the priority requests from the highest (lockout) to the lowest (manual). The actual decision-based activity performed by the software is quite complex; details are provided in the ITU-T G.841 Types and characteristics of SDH network protection architectures standard.

Table 1 APS Priority Request

Priority	Priority Request
1	Lockout of protect port
2	Forced switch
3	Signal failure—low priority
4	Signal degradation—low priority
5	Manual switch

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. aps manual sonet slot/port from {protection | working}

3. aps force sonet slot/port from {protection | working}

4. aps lockout sonet slot/port

5. aps clear sonet slot/port

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	aps manual sonet slot/port from {protection | working} Example: Router# aps manual sonet 1/0 from working	(Optional) Issues an APS manual request to switch from one port to the alternate port. •Use the from protection keywords to switch from the active protect fiber to the working fiber unless an equal or higher switching priority exists. •Use the from working keywords to switch from the active working fiber to the protect fiber unless an equal or higher switching priority exists.
Step 3	aps force sonet slot/port from {protection | working} Example: Router# aps force sonet 1/0 from working	(Optional) Issues an APS force request to switch from one port to the alternate port. •Use the from protection keywords to switch from the active protect fiber to the working fiber unless an equal or higher switching priority exists. •Use the from working keywords to switch from the active working fiber to the protect fiber unless an equal or higher switching priority exists.
Step 4	aps lockout sonet slot/port Example: Router# aps lockout sonet 1/0	(Optional) Issues an APS lockout of protection request. •Use this command to deny the working fiber access to the protect fiber unless an equal switching priority exists. •Lockout is defined as the highest APS request priority level. •If the protect fiber is active, this command switches the traffic to the working fiber.
Step 5	aps clear sonet slot/port Example: Router# aps clear sonet 1/0	(Optional) Removes any APS priority requests configured for the specified port using the aps lockout sonet, aps force sonet, or aps manual sonet commands.

Interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
11.1 CC	This command was introduced.
12.3(11)T	Support for SONET APS using an STM-1 card was added on the Cisco AS5850.

Usage Guidelines

The aps unidirectional command is configured only on protect interfaces.

Use the aps unidirectional command when you must interoperate with SONET network equipment, add/drop multiplexors (ADMs) that supports unidirectional mode.

---

Note We recommend bidirectional mode when it is supported by the interconnecting SONET equipment. When the protect interface is configured as bidirectional, the working and protect interfaces must cooperate to switch the transmit and receive SONET channel in a bidirectional fashion. This
happens automatically when the SONET network equipment is in bidirectional mode.

---

Examples

The following example shows how to configure POS interface 3/0/0 for unidirectional mode on a Cisco 12000 series router:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0

Router(config-if)# aps unidirectional

Router(config-if)# aps protect 1 10.7.7.7

Router(config-if)# end

The following example shows how to configure SONET port 0/0 for unidirectional mode on a Cisco AS5850 universal gateway using an STM-1 trunk card:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# controller sonet 0/0

Router(config-controller)# aps protect

Router(config-controller)# aps unidirectional

Router(config-controller)# end

Table 3 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 3 show controllers sonet STM-1 Field Descriptions 

Field	Description
SONET 3/0	The SONET controller in slot 3 shows the state in which it is operating. The controller's state can be up, down, or administratively down. Loopback conditions are shown by (Locally Looped) or (Remotely Looped).
Applique type	Controller type.
Clock Source	User-specified clock source (Line or Internal).
AUG mapping	Indicates type of administrative unit group (AUG) mapping.
Line Coding	Shows the current line encoding type, either return to zero (RZ) or nonreturn to zero (NRZ).
Line Type	Line type for this interface. Optical line types can be either long range (LONG) or short range (SHORT), and either single mode (SM) or multimode (MM).
VC-12	Indicates the number of the virtual circuit (VC) and whether the VC has reported any defects.
CVs	Number of coding violation (CV) error events.
ESs	An errored second (ES) is a second in which one of the following is detected: •One or more path code violations. •One or more out of frame defects. •One or more controlled slip events. •A detected alarm indication signal (AIS) defect.
SESs	Severely errored seconds (SESs) are seconds with one or more out-of-frame defects or a detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not incremented when UASs are counted.
SEFSs	Severely errored framing seconds (SEFSs) are seconds with one or more out-of-frame defects or a detected incoming AIS.
UASs	Unavailable seconds (UASs) are calculated by counting the number of seconds for which the interface is unavailable.

Table 4 show controllers sonet STM-1 APS Field Descriptions 

Field	Description
MSP 1+1	Indicates whether the SDH multiplex section protection (MSP) is bidirectional or unidirectional.
Protection fiber	Indicates the port location of the protect fiber, whether an alarm has been detected, and whether traffic is flowing through the port.
Working fiber	Indicates the port location of the working fiber, whether an alarm has been detected, and whether traffic is flowing through the port.
Local request	Indicates whether a local request to switch fibers has been received. If a request has been received, the type of request (forced, lockout, or manual) is indicated.
Remote request	Indicates whether a remote request to switch fibers has been received. If a request has been received, the type of request (forced, lockout, or manual) is indicated.
No alarms detected	Any alarms detected by the controller are displayed here. Possible alarms are as follows: •Transmitter is sending remote alarm. •Transmitter is sending alarm indication signal (AIS). •Receiver has loss of signal. •Receiver is getting AIS. •Receiver has loss of frame. •Receiver has remote alarm. •Receiver has no alarms.
No BER failure/degrade detected	No bit error rate (BER) failures or degrades detected.
B2 BER_SF threshold power	BER signal failure (SF) threshold configured with the b2 sf-ber controller command.
B2 BER_SD threshold power	BER signal degrade (SD) threshold configured with the b2 sd-ber controller command.
