Click <Refresh> to get latest information.

Select <New Command> in the drop-down menu and click <Apply> to perform new command.

The available commands have: <manual switching ring>: This command performs the ring switch for the normal traffic from the working channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs if the protection channels are not in an SD condition and are not satisfying an equal or higher priority bridge request (including failure of the protection channels).

<forced switching ring>: This command performs the ring switch for normal traffic from the working channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs regardless of the state of the protection channels, unless the protection channels are satisfying a higher priority bridge request.

<lockout protection>: This command prevents the ring wraps anywhere for any protection activity and prevents using ring switches anywhere in the ring. If any ring switches exist in the ring, this command causes the switches to drop. If there is a span switch for this span, it is dropped. Thus, all ring switching is prevented (and pre-empted), and span switching is prevented only on the locked-out span.

<clear>: This command clears the externally initiated command and WTR at the node to which the command was addressed. The NE-to-NE signaling following removal of the externally initiated commands is performed using the NR code.

The latest launched command is listed in <Last Command> field. The execution result of the latest command is shown in the <Status of last command> field.

There are two types of command execution results: <Command Successful> — launched command succeed

<Command denied> — launched command failed for some reason

Fig. 13.2 OSPF General

All parameters and their meaning are list as below:

<Router ID>: A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the router in the Autonomous System.

<Admin Status>: The administrative status of OSPF in the router. The value <enabled> denotes that the OSPF Process is active on at least one interface; <disabled> disables it on all interfaces.

<Version Number>: The current version number of the OSPF protocol is 2.

<Area Border Router>: A flag to note whether this router is an area border router.

<AS Border Router>: A flag to note whether this router is configured as an Autonomous System border router.

<Extern LSA Count>: The number of external link-state advertisements in the linkstate database.

<Extern LSA Cksum Sum>: The 32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of the external link-state advertisements contained in the link-state database. This sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link-state database of two routers.

<TOS Support>: the router's support for type-of-service routing.

<Originate New LSAs>: The number of new link-state advertisements that have been originated. This number is incremented each time the router originates a new LSA.

<Rx New LSAs>: the number of link-state advertisements received determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated link-state advertisements.

<Ext LSDB Limit>: The maximum number of non-default AS-external-LSAs entries that can be stored in the link-state database. If the value is -1, then there is no limit.

<Multicast Extensions>: A Bit Mask indicating whether the router is forwarding IP multicast (Class D) datagrams based on the algorithms defined in the Multicast Extensions to OSPF. Bit 0, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams in the router's directly attached areas (called intra-area multicast routing). Bit 1, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF areas (called inter-area multicast routing). Bit 2, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between Autonomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast routing).


A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619 103

<Exit Overflow Interval>: The number of seconds that, after entering OverflowState, a router will attempt to leave OverflowState. This allows the router to again originate non-default AS-external-LSAs. When set to 0, the router will not leave OverflowState until restarted. We will not support it

<Demand Extensions>: The router's support for demand routing

15 Performance Monitoring Management

15.1 Overview of Performance Monitoring

15.1.1 SDH Performance Monitoring

15.1.1.1 PM in Regeneration Section (G.829)

Definitions

Block: for STM-N (N=1, 4, 16, 64), the N× BIP-8 contained in the B1 bytes pertains to N blocks. Thus, the signal structure of an RS in an STM-N comprises N blocks within a frame.

Errored Block (EB): A block in which one or more bits are in error.

Errored Second (ES): A one second period with one or more errored blocks or at least one defect.

Severely Errored Second (SES): A one-second period which contains →=X% errored blocks or at least one defect. SES is a subset of ES.

Constant Severely Errored Second (CSES): Period with consecutive SES.

Background Block Error (BBE): An errored block not occurring as part of an SES.

Unavailable Second (UAS): Ten consecutive SES seconds will cause the UAS to increase. Ten consecutive error free seconds will stop the UAS from increasing.

Out of Frame Second (OFS): A one-second period with one or more wrong frames.

UnAvailable Period (UAP): Timestamps indicating the beginning and end of an Unavailable Period. A period of unavailable time begins at the onset of ten consecutive SES events. These ten seconds are considered to be part of unavailable time. A new period of available time begins at the onset of 10 consecutive non-SES events. UAP is independent from 15m or 24h UAS. Even if the UAS was manually reset, UAP should retain its value.

Note: There is no mechanism for collecting far-end performance data for the RS layer.

Anomalies

An error on the whole block is indicated by the EDC (Error Detection Code).

16 Alarm and Event Management

16.1 Overview of Alarms There are five alarm severity level values defined:

• Critical—Service-interrupting alarms.

• Major—Service-affecting alarms.

• Minor—Non-Service-affecting alarms that could potentially become service-affecting. The user needs to inspect the system faults and provide fixes in order to prevent the alarm from deteriorating to Major.

• Warning—Non-Service-affecting alarms. Information is presented to the user for the purpose of maintenance.

• Indeterminate—the alarm severity level is indeterminate.

There are five types of failures in the system:

• Transmission Failure—Failures related to transmission status, such as LOS, LOF, LOP, and LOM.

• Quality of Service Failure—Failure related to system performance, such as response time too long, threshold crossing, and performance degradation.

• Equipment Failure—Failures related to hardware equipment.

• Processing Error Failure—Failures related to software or the fault processing, such as memory overflow, version incompatibility, software errors, program illegal interruption, NE configuration errors an inaccessible NE, AIS, TIM, REI, RDI, PLM, and UNEQ.

• Environmental Failure—Failures related to environment changes, such as unacceptable temperature and humidity, ventilation or cooling system faults, excessive vibration, and door open or closed.

16.2 NE Alarms

16.2.1 Current Alarms

The Current Alarms tab displays all active or unacknowledged alarms, and is updated when a new alarm occurs. Alarms are listed in the order from the oldest to the newest. This window displays the most current alarms (the bottom of the list). Each entry is highlighted with the color associated with its severity. This color coding allows users to perform a quick visual inspection when all alarms are displayed.

When an alarm clears, the date and time when it was cleared is added to the list, and the color is changed to green. However, the alarm remains in the list until it is acknowledged.

Using TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT, the user can:

• Change the alarm list to display different severities or multiple severities

Fig. 18.31 Bridges Properties

In the <Bridge Mode> field, there are two options: <Double Tag> (default value) and <IEEE 802>. Generally, <Double Tag> is chosen.

Step 2: Configure WAN port of NE

Select <WAN Ports Property Configuration> in Fig. 18.30, the <WAN Port Config> window will be shown. (See Fig. 18.32) Since there are many LAN ports in every data card, click <Port> in the top right corner of the window, and then select the corresponding port in the drop-down menu (the first WAN port is chosen in the figure).


A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619 163


The following parameters need to be set:

<PVID>: Add a private VLAN mark to the signal gotten from WAN port. The optional value is from 1 -- 4094.

<Egress Tag Mode>: There are two optional values: <Untag> and <Tag>. Mostly the default tag mode is chosen, which makes sure that additional PVID can be mapped to the load of SDH when the signals leave the data card from WAN port.

<Bandwidth Management>: Select the <LCAS Enable> mode. There are two options: LCAS mode and not LCAS mode. Select LCAS mode to enable the Ethernet’s traffic bandwidth user requires to be adjusted flexibly according to the network.

When the bandwidth configuration mode is confirmed (we take LCAS for example), click <Bandwidth Management> to assign the capacity of WAN port. The <Bandwidth Configuration> window will be shown. (See Fig. 18.33)


164 A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619


There are two options in the <Direction> field: <bi-direction> and <uni-direction>. Bi-direction means configuration to both source and destination, which is our mainly application. Uni-direction means source and destination configuration respectively.

The slots in the optional AUG in the left side are idle (the slots which haven’t been taken); however the slots shown in the right side is the slots configured to this WAN port. Select 46 AUGs in the left side, and click the <=>> button to add the slots used by those ports to WAN port. To decrease the number of slots used by this port, select corresponding slots in the right side and click the <<=> button.


Click <OK> to close this window and return to the <WAN Port Config> window.

Click <Apply> and <Close> to complete the WAN port configurations.

18.7 Creating Multiplex-Section Protection between Two NEs In linear Multiplex Section Protection (MSP), there are two integer physical paths between two multiplexes. Working section and protection section between multiplexes is connected using different optical interfaces. TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 supports MSP protection at STM-4 and STM-1.

NE-A NE-B

Fig 18.1 Point-to-point System

Fig 18.1 illustrates a point-to-point system between NE-A and NE-B. The working signal is transmitted through a pair of STM-4 ports while the protection signal is transmitted through another pair of STM-4 ports. To implement transmission protection, first the protection groups should be established in the NE to realize connection between the working path and the protection path.

Step1: Select <Configuration>→<MSP Management> from the main menu, the <MSP Management> window will be shown. (See Fig. 18.50)


176 A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619

18.8 Creating SNCP Between Two NEs Using Two Ports of MainBoard(STM-4) Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP) provides protection at VC-4-Xv/VC-3-Xv/ VC-12-Xv levels. In the transmission end, service is bridged to two output ports; the two signals are transmitted to the destination via different routes. One is main channel and another is backup channel. In the receiving end, the NE selects a better signal from the two coming signals. When the main channel is failed, the system will switch to the protection channel to receive the signal.

To describe how to configure SNCP protection, an example of a four nodes ring as shown in Fig. 18.53. Assume that a VC-4 connection between NE-A and NE-C needs to be established. The working channel is from NE-A, NE-B, to NE-C. The protection channel is from NE-A, NE-D, to NE-C.

Fig. 18.53 SNCP Example


178 A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619

To implement the SNCP, configure each NE as follows:

To create a bi-directional VC-4 level cross-connection between a STM-1 unit port and a certain AU4 of LC2 port of NE-A.

To create a bi-directional VC-4 level cross-connection between the first AU4 of LC1 port and the first AU4 of LC2 port of NE-D.

Create a bi-directional cross-connection on the level of VC-4 between a certain STM-1 unit port and the first AU4 of LC1 port of NE-C.

Using NE-A as an example, a way to create SNCP protection group using TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT will be shown next:

Step1: Select <Configuration>→<Sub-Network Connection Protection> from the main menu, the <SNCP Management> window will be shown. (See Fig. 18.54)

Fig. 18.54 SNCP Management

Step2: Click <Create>, and the <Create and Config SNCP> window will be shown. (See Fig. 18.55) Click the drop-down menu of Capacity to select VC-4; Select bi-directional in service Direction; Set <No Revertive> in Restore Mode;

Set the parameters in the Working TP section as:

Working Card: #LC2<1×STM-16(Line)>

Working Port: P01

By Time Slot: AU4 (#02)

In fact, the working TP is the slot of the cross-connection line port of working channel in NE-A.

Set the parameters in the Protection TP section as:


A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619 179

Protecting Card: #LC7<4× STM-4/1(Line)>

Protecting Port: P03

By Time Slot: AU4 (#01)

Fig. 18.55 Create and Config SNCP

Step3: Click <Apply>, the SNCP is created successfully. For NE-A, the original bi-direction cross-connect provides the channel protection function as the following: NE-A sends the signal to both line ports LC1 and LC2 simultaneously and selects the better one from the two received signals from LC1 and LC2. (See Fig. 18.56)

Fig. 18.56 SNCP Protection of NE A

NOTE: The way to create channel protection of NE-C is the same as that in NE-A, the difference is the working TP and protection TP is opposite to those of NE-A.


180 A42022-L5969-A 53-1-7619

After creation of SNCP protection group, click <Query> in Fig. 18.54 to view the existed SNCP protection group. Select the corresponding protection group, and click <Switch>. The <SNCP Switch> window will be shown (See Fig. 18.57). In this window the condition of the current protection group is known. Meantime, operation of protection switch of SNCP protection group is done manually by clicking <Command List>.

Fig. 18.57 SNCP Switch

<Clear>: This command clears all commands that have been started and the recovery time of the operated NE

<Lock Out>: Protection switching will be closed, and the working channel will take on the service. Even if there is malfunction, switching will not happen.

<Force Switch to Protection>: Users switch services to protection channel by force even if there is fault on this channel. If the force switch requirement is not cleared, automatic switching will not happen.

<Force Switch to working>: User will switch service to working channel by force even if there is fault on this channel. If the force switch requirement is not cleared, automatic switching will not happen.

<Manual Switch to Protection>: Users switch services to protection channel manually on the condition that there is no fault on this channel. Automatic switching is still in effect.

<Manual Switch to working>: Users switch services to working channel manually on the condition that there is no fault on this channel. Automatic switching is still in effect.
