Syntax
Syntax Description
framing { ethernet | sdh [ ds1 | e1 ] [ ss-bits ] | sonet [ ds1 | e1 ] | unspecified } [ -noconfirm ]
default framing [ -noconfirm ]
default
Resets the framing
generated by the card to the default for the particular card type.
ethernet
Configures the
system to use Ethernet framing for this line card. This type of framing can
only be used on an Ethernet card.
Default: Ethernet
framing type is the default for an Ethernet line card.
Important:
Using this keyword
with an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 takes the card offline.
sdh [ ds1 | e1 ] [ ss-bits ]
Configures the
system to use SDH signal framing for either an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card
in an SGSN.
Important:
Using this keyword
with an Ethernet line card takes the line card offline.
In releases 8.1 and
higher, you can also set the type of signaling path for a CLC2.
ds1 - configures the card to support a DS1/T1.
e1 - configures the card to support an E1. This is
the default for SDH.
ss-bits - enables/disables use of ss-bits (per ITU
1997 G.783 specification) for SDH configured line card.
sonet [ ds1 | e1 ]
Configures the
system to use SONET signal framing for either an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card
in an SGSN.
Default: SONET is
the default framing type for an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card.
Important:
Using this keyword
with an Ethernet line card takes the line card offline.
In releases 8.1 and
higher, you can also set the type of signaling path for a CLC2.
ds1 - configures the card to support a DS1/T. This
is the default for SONET.
e1 - configures the card to support an E1.
unspecified
Configures the
system to use the default framing type for the particular line card resident in
the identified slot.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system
to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage Guidelines
Use the
framing command
to identify the type of signal framing to be used by the line card in the
identified slot.
Note that each type
of line card uses a different type of signal framing. If you configure the
wrong framing type for a line card, the line card is taken offline.
Important:
This command is
not supported on all platforms.
Example
Use the following
command to configure SDH signal framing on a CLC2. If you do not include the
path-type, the default of
e1 is
automatically included in the card's framing configuration:
