GMPLS UNI for Packet and Optical Integration

GMPLS UNI

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching User Network Interface (GMPLS UNI) is a control plane technology that

  • enables packet networks to interact directly with the optical transport control plane,

  • coordinates packet network resource requirements with the optical transport network, and

  • uses open standards to optimize network resource use across packet and optical domains.

Feature Description

GMPLS UNI Support for OTN-XP and 2-QDD-C Cards

 Cisco IOS XR Release 7.10.1

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User Network Interface (UNI) support is enabled for OTN-XP and 2-QDD-C cards in NCS 1004. GMPLS UNI helps in optimizing the utilization of network resources.

For OTN-XP card the following data paths are allowed.

  • 2x100 - 200G MXP

  • 4x100 - 400G MXP

  • 40x10 - 400G MXP

  • 20x10 - 200G MXP

For 2-QDD-C card only 200G/300G/400G trunk rates are allowed with 100GE or OTU4 client payloads in both the muxponder and muxponder slice configurations.

Packet and optical integration

As cloud services become central to business operations, packet and optical network services must evolve to be more efficient and dynamic. Closer integration of packet and optical networks is critical, especially in the control plane. GMPLS UNI is a key enabling technology that supports this integration.

Channel spacing

The Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) grid in the C-band (1530–1569 nm) of the optical spectrum is divided into multiple channels so that each channel can carry traffic independently. The number of channels available from the DWDM grid depends on the channel spacing: lower channel spacing yields more channels, and higher channel spacing yields fewer channels.

GMPLS supports two types of channel spacing.

  • Fixed grid channel spacing: The channel spacing is fixed at 50 GHz and supports 100 Gbps and 200 Gbps traffic.

  • Flexible grid channel spacing: The channel spacing is 6.25 GHz and supports all data rates. The channels are divided into finer slices so that the channel width can be defined as a multiple of these slices to fit the data bandwidth requirement.

    NCS 1004 supports only flexible grid channel spacing.

    The neighbor flexi-grid-capable command enables GMPLS UNI flexible grid channel spacing. This command is run during the LMP configuration.

GMPLS UNI tunnels

GMPLS UNI tunnels are end-to-end optical paths between two NCS 1004 nodes that

  • connects two nodes,

  • efficiently uses the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) grid with minimal wastage of spectral bandwidth, and

  • carries mixed bit-rate or mixed modulation data in a flexible grid using different channel widths.

To address common packet and optical network requirements, you create a tunnel between two NCS 1004 nodes to carry traffic by using GMPLS UNI technology, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1. GMPLS UNI reference model
GMPLS UNI reference model

UNI-C is the client, packet, or router node, for example, an NCS 1004 node. UNI-N is the network or optical node, for example, an NCS 2000 node.

A Link Management Protocol (LMP) link is created to establish connectivity between an NCS 2000 node and an NCS 1004 node. The tunnel is then created between the trunk interfaces of the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes to carry traffic. When the tunnel is created between NCS 1004 nodes, a circuit is internally created between the NCS 2000 nodes to perform path computation, restoration, and reversion functions.

The tunnel can be created between the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes without involving NCS 2000 nodes in the middle. However, restoration and reversion capabilities are provided only by NCS 2000 nodes that use GMPLS UNI.

Licensing and configuration prerequisites for GMPLS UNI tunnels

Ensure that all necessary software packages, licenses, network reachability, and operational port conditions are met on NCS 1002, NCS 1004, and NCS 2000 nodes before creating a tunnel using Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching User Network Interface (GMPLS UNI), enabling successful tunnel deployment and operation.

Before you create a tunnel by using GMPLS UNI, ensure that the following prerequisites are met.

  • The NCS 1004 node has both the MPLS and MPLS-TE packages installed. The package names are ncs1004-mpls and ncs1004-mpls-te-rsvp .

  • The NCS 2000 node has a valid license for ROADM and Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) support.

  • The management IP addresses of the NCS 1004 and NCS 2000 nodes are reachable.

  • The administrative state of the trunk port of the optics controller on the NCS 1004 node is not in the shutdown state.

Limitations for a GMPLS UNI tunnel

This reference enables you to accurately identify the supported trunk port types and software release restrictions for GMPLS UNI tunnels on NCS 1002 nodes, ensuring compliant and optimized tunnel configuration.

The following limitations apply when you create a GMPLS UNI tunnel.

Configuration workflow for a GMPLS UNI tunnel

Summary

Creating a GMPLS UNI tunnel involves the following actors.

  • NCS 2000 node (UNI-N): Provides the optical transport network and runs the Link Management Protocol (LMP) endpoint, alien wavelength, and ifindex provisioning.

  • NCS 1004 node (UNI-C): Acts as the client router that runs LMP, Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and the MPLS traffic-engineering tunnel toward the destination node.

You complete the NCS 2000 node configuration first, then configure the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes to bring up the tunnel.

Workflow

These stages describe the GMPLS UNI tunnel configuration workflow.

  1. On the NCS 2000 node, perform the following configurations:
  2. On the NCS 1004 node, perform the following configurations:

Result

The GMPLS UNI tunnel is established between the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes, with the optical path computed by the NCS 2000 nodes.

Use this task to set up a static LMP link between a Cisco NCS 2000 node and either an NCS 1002 or NCS 1004 node. The CTC LMP creation wizard enables you to select source and destination endpoints, configure optical parameters, and set alien wavelength options.

Procedure

Step 1

From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2

Click the Provisioning > LMP tabs.

Step 3

Click Create.

The LMP Creation window appears.

Step 4

Click Signaled in the Router Not Managed by CTC area.

A wizard appears with the following options:

LMP Origination, LMP Termination, Optical Parameters, and Alien Wavelength

Step 5

In the LMP Origination screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • From the Originating Node drop-down list, choose the source node of the LMP.

    If the source node is Cisco NCS 1004, the destination node must be MSTP, and the other way round.

  • From the Local Interfaces drop-down list, choose an available interface.

  • Choose the Type, Shelf, Slot, and Port for Ingress Port Selection and Egress Port Selection.

  • Choose Numbered interface.

  • Enter the IP address of the source node in the Interface IP field.

  • Set the mode of revertive restoration to either UNI-C or UNI-N. If the mode is set to UNI-C, the reversion of the circuit from the restored path to the original path is initiated by the UNI client that is connected to NCS 1004. If the mode is set to UNI-N, the reversion of the circuit is initiated by the DWDM network and can either be a manual revert or an auto revert.

  • Enter the RSVP signaling interval and RSVP signaling missed values in the respective fields.

  • Click Next.

Step 6

In the LMP Termination screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • From the Terminating Node drop-down list, choose the destination node of the LMP; for example, MSTP node.

  • From the Rx Port Selection area, perform the following.

    • Choose the card type from the Type drop-down list.

    • Choose a shelf from the Shelf drop-down list.

    • Choose a source slot from the Slot drop-down list

  • Enter the IP address of the destination node in the Interface IP field.

  • Set the mode of revertive restoration to either UNI-C or UNI-N. If the mode is set to UNI-C, the reversion of the circuit from the restored path to the original path is initiated by the UNI client that is connected. If the mode is set to UNI-N, the reversion of the circuit is initiated by the DWDM network and can be either a manual revert or an auto revert.

  • Enter the remote Ifindex of NCS 1004 node (in decimals) in the Remote If Index field.

  • Click Next.

Step 7

In the Optical Parameters screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • UNI State—Choose Enable or Disable from the UNI State drop-down list.

    The Enable state is used to configure the UNI interface for the circuits to pass through, between the router and the DWDM node. In the Disable state, the interface is configured but not active, and so the circuit activation is rejected. When the status is changed from Enable to Disable, all active circuits on the interface are deleted.

  • Description—Enter the description of the UNI interface. The description can be up to 256 characters.

  • Label—Enter an alphanumeric string. This label is a unique circuit identifier.

  • Validation—Sets the optical validation mode.

    • Full—The circuit is created when the circuit validation result is greater than or equal to the acceptance threshold value.

    • None—The circuit is created without considering the acceptance threshold value. The Opt Valid column in the Circuits tab displays the value as Not Valid.

    • Inherited—The restoration circuit inherits the validation and acceptance threshold values from the primary circuit.

  • Acceptance threshold—Sets the acceptance threshold value for the GMPLS circuit. The circuit is created if the actual acceptance threshold value is greater than, or equal to, the value set in this field.

    • Green—Indicates that the channel failure risk is 0%.

    • Yellow—Indicates that the channel failure risk is between 0% and 16%.

    • Orange—Indicates that the channel failure risk is between 16% and 50%.

    • Red—Indicates that the channel failure risk is greater that 50%.

  • Restoration—Check this check box to enable the restoration of the GMPLS circuits on the UNI interface.

  • Revert—Check this check box to enable the revert of the GMPLS circuits on the UNI interface.

  • Auto Revert—Click this radio button to automatically revert the circuit from the restored path to the original path after the failure is fixed, WSON alarms are acknowledged, and the soak time expires.

  • Soak Time—Enter the time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) in the Soak Time field that the circuit on the restored path waits before moving to the original path after the failure is fixed. The circuit reverts to the original path after the soak time expires. The soak time must be set only if both the Restoration and Revert check boxes are checked.

Step 8

Click Next.

Step 9

In the Alien wavelength screen of the wizard, provision these parameters.

  • From the Alien Wavelength drop-down list, choose the alien wavelength class.

  • From the Trunk Selection drop-down list, choose 100G, 200G, or 250G.

  • Soak Time—Enter the time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) in the Soak Time field that the circuit on the restored path waits before moving to the original path after the failure is fixed. The circuit reverts to the original path after the soak time expires. The soak time must be set only if both the Restoration and Revert check boxes are checked.

Step 8

Click Next.

Step 9

In the Alien wavelength screen of the wizard, provision these parameters.

  • From the Alien Wavelength drop-down list, choose the alien wavelength class such as NCS 1004.

  • From the Trunk Selection drop-down list, choose 100G, 200G, or 250G.

  • From the FEC drop-down list, choose a valid value for forward error correction (FEC) mode. If an invalid FEC value is chosen, LMP link is created; however, the circuit creation fails.

  • Click Finish to create an LMP link.

    The newly created signaled LMP unnumbered circuit link appears in the LMP table in CTC.

The LMP link between NCS 2000 and NCS 1002/1004 is established, supporting signaled unnumbered circuits with full optical and Alien Wavelength configuration.

Retrieve ifindex from the NCS 2000 node

You can retrieve the ifindex value of all the LMP ports of the NCS 2000 node by using the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or the TL1 interface. Use this value in the neighbor interface-id unnumbered command during the LMP configuration on the NCS 1004 node.

Procedure

Retrieve the ifindex by using either CTC or TL1.

  • To use CTC, click the Provisioning > LMP tab and read the ifindex value, in decimal format, under the Originating Interface Index column.
  • To use TL1, log in to the TL1 interface and run the rtrv-unicfg ::all:1; command. The command returns the ifindex of all the LMP ports of the NCS 2000 node in hexadecimal format. Convert the value to decimal format before you use it as the remote ifindex of the NCS 1004 node.

The following sample TL1 output shows the ifindex of two LMP ports.

Example:
PSLINE-81-1-9-RX:PSLINE-81-1-9-TX,10.77.142.92,3.3.3.4,3.3.3.3,0.0.0.0,VALMODE=NONE,ADMINSTATE=UP,
RESTTYPE=REVERT,USPWROFS=0.0,
DSPWROFS=0.0,ALLOWREGEN=NO,UNICTRLMODE=CLIENT,REVERTMODE=MANUAL,SOAK=00-01-00,
RESTVALMODE=NONE,TERMINTFDX=0,ORIGINTFIDX=7f000d12,NUMBERED=TRUE,UNIMODE=GMPLS
