Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on Cisco IOS XR Software

This module describes the configuration of clear channel SONET controllers on routers supporting
Cisco IOS XR software. SONET controller configuration is a preliminary step toward Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) configuration on routers using Cisco IOS XR software.

SONET allows you to define optical signals and a synchronous frame structure for multiplexed digital traffic. It is a set of standards defining the rates and formats for optical networks specified in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) T1.105, ANSI T1.106, and ANSI T1.117.

Note The Cisco CRS-1 supports clear channel SONET controllers only. The Cisco XR 12000 Series Router supports both clear channel and channelized SONET controllers on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3 and OC-12 SPAs. For more information about configuring a channelized SONET controller, see the Configuring Channelized SONET on Cisco IOS XR Software module.

The commands for configuring the Layer 1 SONET controllers are provided in the
Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.

Prerequisites for Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers

Before configuring SONET controllers, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met:

•You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs for SONET commands.

Task IDs for commands are listed in Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.

•You have at least one of the following physical layer interface module (PLIM) cards installed in your chassis:

–4 port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA

–8 port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA

–2 port OC-48/STM-16 POS SPA (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only)

–4 port OC-48/STM-16 POS SPA (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only)

–16 port OC-48c/STM-16c POS

–4 port OC-192c/STM-64c POS

–1 port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA

–1 port OC-768c/STM-256c POS PLIM

•You know how to apply the specify the SONET controller name and instance identifier with the generalized notation rack/slot/module/port. The SONET controller name and instance identifier are required with the controller sonet command.

Information About Configuring SONET Controllers

To configure SONET controllers, you must understand the following concepts:

•SONET Controller Overview

•Default Configuration Values for SONET Controllers

•SONET APS

SONET Controller Overview

In routers supporting Cisco IOS XR software, the physical ports on the line cards are called controllers. Before you can configure a POS or SRP interface, you need to configure the SONET controller.

The commands used to configure the physical SONET port are grouped under the SONET controller configuration mode. To get to the SONET controller configuration mode, enter the controller sonet command in global configuration mode.

The router uses SONET controllers for Layer 1 and Layer 2 processing.

Note Path UNEQ is not supported on the OC-768 card. Therefore, UNEQ-P and PPLM alarms are not reported for any unequipped C2 byte that is received on an OC-768 interface. Cisco supports all error codes from the ERDI-P standard except for the UNEQ-P code.

Default Configuration Values for SONET Controllers

Table 1 describes the default configuration parameters that are present on the SONET controllers.

Table 1 SONET Controller Default Configuration Values

Parameter

Default Value

Configuration File Entry

Reporting of the following alarms for a SONET controller:

•Bit 1 (B1) bit error rate (BER) threshold crossing alert (TCA) errors

•Bit 2 (B2) BER TCA errors

•Signal failure BER errors

•Section loss of frame (SLOF) errors

•Section loss of signal (SLOS) errors

enabled

To disable reporting of any alarms enabled by default, use the no report [b1-tca | b2-tca | sf-ber | slof | slos] command in SONET/SDH configuration mode.

To enable reporting of line alarm indication signal (LAIS), line remote defect indication (LRDI), or signal degradation BER errors, use the report [lais | lrdi | sd-ber] command in SONET/SDH configuration mode.

Reporting of the following alarms for a SONET path controller:

•Bit 3 (B3) BER TCA errors

•Path loss of pointer (PLOP) errors

enabled

To disable B3 BER TCA or PLOP reporting on the SONET path controller, enter the no report b3-tca or no report plop command in SONET/SDH path configuration submode.

To enable reporting of path alarm indication signal (PAIS), path payload mismatch (PPLM), path remote defect indication (PRDI), or path trace identity mismatch (PTIM) errors, use the report [ pais | pplm | prdi | ptim command in SONET/SDH path configuration submode.

Synchronous payload envelope (SPE) scrambling

enabled

To disable SPE scrambling on a SONET controller, enter the path scrambling disable command in SONET controller configuration submode.

Keepalive timer

enabled

To turn off the keepalive timer, enter the keepalive disable command in interface configuration mode.

SONET APS

The automatic protection switching (APS) feature allows switchover of packet-over-SONET (POS) interfaces in the event of failure, and is often required when connecting SONET equipment to telco equipment. APS refers to the mechanism of using a "protect" POS interface in the SONET network as the backup for "working" POS interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly assumes its traffic load. The working interfaces and their protect interfaces make up an "APS group."

In Cisco IOS XR software, SONET APS configuration defines a working line and a protection line for each redundant line pair. The working line is the primary or preferred line, and communications take place over that line as long as the line remains operative. If a failure occurs on the working line, APS initiates a switchover to the protection line. For proper APS operation between two routers, a working line on one router must also be the working line on the other router, and the same applies to the protection line.

In a SONET APS group, each connection may be bidirectional or unidirectional, and revertive or non-revertive. The same signal payload is sent to the working and protect interfaces. The working and protect interfaces may terminate in two ports of the same card, or in different cards in the same router, or in two different routers.

The protect interface directs the working interface to activate or deactivate in the case of degradation, loss of channel signal, or manual intervention. If communication between the working and protect interfaces is lost, the working router assumes full control of the working interface as if no protect circuit existed.

In an APS group, each line is called a "channel." In bidirectional mode, the receive and transmit channels are switched as a pair. In unidirectional mode, the transmit and receive channels are switched independently. For example, in bidirectional mode, if the receive channel on the working interface has a loss of channel signal, both the receive and transmit channels are switched.

How to Configure Clear Channel SONET Controllers

This section contains the following procedures:

•Configuring a Clear Channel SONET Controller

•Configuring SONET APS

•Configuring a Hold-off Timer to Prevent Fast Reroute from being Triggered

Configuring a Clear Channel SONET Controller

This task explains how to configure SONET controllers as a prerequisite to configuring POS and SRP interfaces.

Prerequisites

•You need to have a POS line card or SPA installed in a router that is running Cisco IOS XR software.

•If you want to ensure recovery from fiber or equipment failures, then configure SONET APS on the router as describe in the "Configuring SONET APS" section.

12. show controllers sonet instance

DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

show version
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show version

(Optional) Displays the current software version, and can also be used to confirm that the router recognizes the modular services card.

Step 2

show interfaces [pos| srp] instance
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show interface pos 0/1/0/0

(Optional) Displays the configured interface and checks the status of each interface port.

Step 3

configure
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 4

controller sonet instance
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller sonet 0/1/0/0

Enters SONET controller configuration submode and specifies the SONET controller name and instance identifier with the rack/slot/module/port notation.

Step 5

clock source {internal | line}
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# clock source internal

Configures the SONET port transmit clock source, where the internal keyword sets the internal clock and line keyword sets the clock recovered from the line.

•Use the line keyword whenever clocking is derived from the network. Use the internal keyword when two routers are connected back-to-back or over fiber for which no clocking is available.

•The line clock is the default.

Note Internal clocking is required for SRP interfaces.

Step 6

delay trigger line value
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# delay trigger line 0

(Optional) Configures the SONET port delay trigger line values, where the trigger values are in the range from
0 through 511 milliseconds, and the default delay trigger value is 0 milliseconds.

Step 7

framing {sdh | sonet}
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# framing sonet

(Optional) Configures the controller framing with either the sdh keyword for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) framing, or the sonet keyword for SONET framing.

SONET framing (sonet) is the default.

Step 8

loopback {internal | line}
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# loopback internal

(Optional) Configures the SONET controller for loopback, where the internal keyword selects internal (terminal) loopback, or the line keyword selects line (facility) loopback.

Step 9

overhead {j0 | s1s0} byte-value
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# overhead s1s0

(Optional) Configures the controller's overhead, where the j0 keyword specifies the STS identifier (J0/C1) byte, and the s1s0 keyword specifies bits s1 and s0 of H1 byte.

•The default byte value for the j0 keyword is 0xcc, and the default byte value for the s1s0 keyword is 0.

•The range of valid values for j0 and s1s0 is 0 through 255.

Step 10

path keyword [values]
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# path delay trigger 25

(Optional) Configures SONET controller path values.

Keyword definitions are as follows:

•ais-shut—Set sending path alarm indication signal (PAIS) when shut down.

•delay trigger value —Set SONET path delay values or delay trigger value. Replace the value argument with a number in the range from 0 through 511 milliseconds. The default value is 0.

•overhead [c2 byte-value | j1 line] —Set SONET POH byte or bit values. Enter the c2 keyword to specify STS SPE content (C2) byte, and replace the byte-value argument with a number in the range from 0 through 255. Enter the j1 keyword to configure the SONET path trace (J1) buffer, and replace the line argument with the path trace buffer identifier (in ASCII text).

•report [b3-tca | pais | plop | pplm | prdi | ptim]—Set SONET path alarm reporting. Specifies which alarms are reported and which bit error rate (BER) thresholds will signal an alarm. By default, B3 BER threshold crossing alert (TCA) and path loss of pointer (PLOP) reporting are enabled. Specifying the pais keyword sets PAIS reporting status; pplm sets path payload mismatch (PPLM) defect reporting status; prdi sets path remote defect indication reporting status; and ptim sets path trace identity mismatch (PTIM) defect reporting status.

The no report b3-tca and no report plop commands in SONET/SDH path configuration submode disable B3 BER TCA and PLOP reporting status, respectively.

•scrambling disable—Disable SPE scrambling. Note that SPE scrambling is enabled by default.

•threshold b3-tca BER—Set SONET path BER threshold value. Replace the BER argument with a number in the range from 3 through 9. The threshold value is interpreted as a negative exponent of 10 when determining the bit error rate. For example, a value of 5 implies a bit error rate of 10 to the minus 5. The default BER threshold value is 6.

•uneq-shut—Sets sending Unequipped (UNEQ) when shut down.
Step 11

Configuring SONET APS

SONET APS offers recovery from fiber (external) or equipment (interface and internal) failures at the SONET line layer. This task explains how to configure basic automatic protection switching (APS) on the router and how to configure more than one protect or working interface on a router by using the aps group command.

To verify the configuration or to determine if a switchover has occurred, use the show aps command.

Prerequisites

You need to have a POS line card or SPA installed in a router that is running Cisco IOS XR software.

Restrictions

For proper APS operation between two routers, a working line on one router must also be the working line on the other router, and the same applies to the protection line.

configure
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

aps group number
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# aps group 1

Adds an APS group with a specified number and enters APS group configuration mode.

•Use the aps group command in global configuration mode.

•To remove a group, use the no form of this command, as in: no aps group number, where the value range is from 1-255.

Note To use the aps group command, you must be a member of a user group associated with the proper task IDs for aps commands.

Note The aps group command is used even when a single protect group is configured.

Step 3

channel {0 | 1} local sonet interface
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)# channel 0 local SONET 0/0/0/1

Creates a channel for the APS group. 0 designates a protect channel, and 1 designates a working channel.

Note If the protect channel is local, it must be assigned using the channel command before any of the working channels is assigned.

Selects a CRC value for the channel. Enter the 16 keyword to specify 16-bit CRC mode, or enter the 32 keyword to specify 32-bit CRC mode.

Note The default CRC is 32.

Step 12

keepalive {seconds | disable}
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# keepalive disable

Sets the keepalive timer for the channel. Replace the seconds argument with the Number of seconds that define the keepalive interval. Default is 10 seconds.

Enter the keepalive disable command to turn off the keepalive timer.

Step 13

no shutdown
Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown

Note The show aps group command is more useful than the show aps command when multiple groups are defined.
What to do Next

•To configure the POS interfaces in the APS group, see the Configuring POS Interfaces on Cisco IOS XR Software module later in this document.

•To configure an a hold-off timer to prevent FRR from being triggered while the CORE network is doing a restoration, see the "Configuring a Hold-off Timer to Prevent Fast Reroute from being Triggered" section module later in this document.

Configuring a Hold-off Timer to Prevent Fast Reroute from being Triggered

When APS is configured on a router, it does not offer protection for tunnels; because of this limitation, fast reroute (FRR) still remains the protection mechanism for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic-engineering.

When APS is configured in a SONET core network, an alarm might be generated toward a router downstream. If the router downstream is configured with FRR, you may want to configure a hold-off timer at the SONET level to prevent FRR from being triggered while the CORE network is doing a restoration. Perform this task to configure the delay.

Prerequisites

Configure SONET APS, as describe in the "Configuring SONET APS" section.
