3.2.4 Configuring NE IP Address Based on SN

The CiTRANS 610A writes the NE IP address to the equipment based on SN.

Basic Concepts

u SN

The SN is a 12-bit serial number of the equipment, which is similar to the MAC
address of a computer, so as to guarantee its uniqueness in the entire network.
The SN of the CiTRANS 610A has been downloaded to the equipment before
delivery. Generally the SN label is attached to the front panel of the equipment.

u Local NE

The local NE indicates the NE connected to the OTNM2000 computer directly


via an Ethernet cable (the connection port is F port).

u Source NE

The source NE indicates the NE whose IP address has been configured


successfully and is connected to the OTNM2000.

u Adjacent NE

68 Version: B
3 Equipment Commissioning

The adjacent NE indicates the NE connected with source NE via optical path or
Ethernet cable without any other NE between them; or the NE interconnected
with the source NE via the MAN offered by another vendor in the Overlay mode.

u Overlay

The Overlay mode indicates encapsulating the management MCC packets and
service packets sent by the FiberHome PAN equipment with a VLAN tag of the
MAN channel offered by another vendor when the MAN provides the
management channel and service channel. Therefore, the packets will be
transparently transmitted through the MAN offered by another vendor.

The management channel and service channel offered by another vendor must
be the VPWS private line service channels.

Configuration Method for the NE IP Address

You can set the NE IP address in local mode or remote mode. The NEs directly
connected with the OTNM2000 can be set using the method of setting the local NE
IP address, while the NEs not directly connected with the OTNM2000 can be set
using the method of setting the adjacent NE IP address. The following introduces
both modes, as shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2 Network Diagram for Configuring the NE IP Address Based on SN

u Configuring the IP address of local NE (local download mode)

Connect the OTNM2000 computer with NE1 directly, and the OTNM2000 will
obtain the SN of the local NE (NE1). Configure the IP addresses and switches
using the OTNM2000 and download the mappings between SN numbers and
IP addresses to the local NE.

Version: B 69
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

u Configuring the IP address of adjacent NE (remote download mode)

1) After the IP address of local NE (NE1) is correctly configured, the


OTNM2000 will find the SN of the adjacent NEs (NE2 and NE3) via the SN
of NE1. After completing settings such as IP address and switch of the
adjacent NEs, you can deliver the corresponding relationship between
SNs and IP addresses to the adjacent NEs.

2) Find the adjacent NE4 and NE5 via the SN of NE3 and complete the
configuration of their IP addresses.

3) Repeat Step 2) to find all NEs step by step, and complete the configuration
of IP addresses for all NEs in the entire network.

Note:

u The adjacent NE can be discovered by the source NE only when it is


communicating with the MCC of the source NE normally.

u If the devices offered by FiberHome are interconnected with each


other via optical fibers and the connection is normal, the MCC
communication is normal. If the Overlay mode is used, configure a
MCC VLAN. See CiTRANS 650 Small Flexible Optical Transport
Platform Configuration Guide for the configuration method.

u If multiple adjacent NEs are found in one time, you need to check the
relevant project design document (namely, a spreadsheet that
describes mappings between NEs and SNs) to determine the
specific NE.

Figure 3-3 Connecting the CiTRANS 610A to the OTNM2000 via the MAN Offered by
FiberHome

As shown in Figure 3-3, if the MAN uses the FiberHome equipment, the
CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the NNI of the FiberHome MAN and
connects with the OTNM2000 via the in-band MCC. In this example, NE1 is the
local NE, NE2 is the adjacent NE of NE1, and NE4 is the adjacent NE of NE3.

u Connecting the CiTRANS 610A to the OTNM2000 via the MAN offered by
another vendor

Figure 3-4 Connecting the CiTRANS 610A to the OTNM2000 via the MAN Offered by Another
Vendor

As shown in Figure 3-4, if the MAN uses the equipment offered by another
vendor, the CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the UNI of the MAN offered by
another vendor and connects with the OTNM2000 via the Overlay mode. In this
example, NE1 is the local NE, NE2 is the adjacent NE of NE1, and NE3 is the
adjacent NE of NE2.

If the equipment connects to the OTNM2000 via the MAN offered by another
vendor, this vendor should create the VPWS channel that transparently
transmits the specified VLAN IDs and inform FiberHome. Then, FiberHome
uses the CiTRANS 650 to transmit the management packets with this VLAN ID
according to the management channel information offered by another vendor.
In this way, the CiTRANS 650 can manage the remote CiTRANS 610A by
passing through the MAN offered by another vendor.

Version: B 71
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

Each VPWS channel of the MAN offered by another vendor transparently


transmits one VLAN to the remote end, and each set of CiTRANS 610A
performs matching by learning this VLAN.

4.1 Configuring Interfaces

This section introduces the common interface types supported by the CiTRANS
610A, and the configuration methods of common interfaces.

4.1.1 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of Interfaces

The common interface types on the CiTRANS 610A include UNI interfaces, NNI
interfaces, LAG interfaces and E1 emulation interfaces.

Basic Concepts

u UNI interface

The UNI interface, also known as user side interface, is used for connecting a
network device with a user device.

u NNI interface

The NNI interface, also known as network side interface, is used for
interconnection between network devices (including network devices of the
same vendor or those of different vendors).

u LAG Interface

The LAG interface is special logical interface that bundles a group of physical
Ethernet interfaces to a logical aggregation group. All the member lines in the
port aggregation group share the bandwidth and provide protection to one
another.

u E1 emulation interface

The E1 emulation interface is used for configuring CES services.

Configuration Rule

u The naming rules for the interfaces of CiTRANS 610A are described as follows:

4 Ethernet interface: port rate + port number; for example, GE1 refers to the
GE interface whose port number is 1.

4 LAG interface: LAG + ID; for example, LAG1 refers to the aggregation port
whose ID is 1.

Version: B 85
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

4 E1 emulation interface: E1-CES shelf number/slot number/port number; for


example, E-CES0/1/1 refers to the E1 emulation interface with port number
1 in slot 1 of the first shelf under the rack.

Note:

The shelf number is a decimal number starting from 0. 0 indicates the 1st
shelf under the rack, 1 indicates the 2nd shelf under the rack, and so on.

u When an Ethernet interface is used for connecting a user device or a device


offered by another vendor to carry user side Ethernet services, set its interface
type to UNI.

u When an Ethernet interface is used for connecting network devices (including


network devices of the same vendor or those of different vendors), set its
interface type to NNI (for connecting network devices of the same vendor) or E-
NNI (for connecting network devices of different vendors).

u When the port aggregation protection is required, you can add and configure an
LAG interface in the Port-Aggregation-Config tab. Follow the configuration
rules described as below.

4 Each LAG interface contains up to four member interfaces. When the non-
load sharing mode is set for the LAG interface, each LAG interface
contains up to two member interfaces.

4 An LAG interface can be used as a UNI interface. In this case, you need to
set the interface type of its member interfaces to UNI. You can also
configure the MAC address attribute.

4 When the load sharing mode of an LAG interface is set to static load
sharing / static non-load sharing, you need to configure the equipment
priority. Generally, the priority of an LAG interface on the local equipment
should be different from that on the opposite end equipment. The smaller is
the value, the higher is the priority.

4 You need to enable the LACP protocol when the load sharing mode of an
LAG interface is set to static load sharing / static non-load sharing.

u If you need to configure an E1 emulation service, you can add and configure an
E1 emulation interface in the E1 emulation configuration tab.

4.2 Configuring Tunnels and Tunnel Protection

This section introduces the basic concepts of Tunnels, and the configuration
methods of Tunnels and LSP 1:1 protection.

4.2.1 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of Tunnels

You need to know about the basic concepts and application scenarios of Tunnels
and LSPs before configuring Tunnels and LSP 1:1 protection.

Basic Concepts

u Tunnel

A Tunnel is a virtual point-to-point connection created between NNI interfaces.


As the carrier of PWs in the network, it provides a service Tunnel to
transparently transmit point-to-point service packets. A Tunnel can carry
various services, such as CES services and Ethernet services. It is used as the
service transmission channel in the network, as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 The Tunnel

u LSP

Several Tunnels constitute an LSP. An LSP is a packet forwarding path created


using the MPLS protocol. This path is composed of multiple LSRs between the
source LSR and destination LSR and the links between these LSRs.

u LSP 1:1

Version: B 95
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

LSP 1:1 refers to the LSP 1:1 protection, which is a common Tunnel protection
type. In the LSP 1:1 protection mode, the protection path is used to protect the
services transmitted over the working path. The services are single-fed and
single-received. Under normal condition, services are transmitted over the
working path. When the working path is faulty, services are switched over to the
protection path, so as to ensure the normal transmission of services. Figure 4-2
shows the LSP 1:1 protection.

Figure 4-2 LSP 1:1 Protection

Configuration Rule

u You need to select the UNI interface for the source and sink ports when using
the CiTRANS 610A as source/sink node to create a Tunnel.

u When using the CiTRANS 610A as a source / sink node to create a Tunnel that
carries ELine services, make sure the source and sink ports of the Tunnel are
consistent with those of ELine services.

96 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

u When using the CiTRANS 610A as a source / sink node to create a Tunnel that
carries CES services, select E1 for the source and sink ports of the Tunnel.

u When the source or the sink UNI interface is a LAG interface, select a member
of the UNI interface as the source of the sink port of the Tunnel.

u The PAN equipment supports static Tunnels.

u During configuration of a Tunnel, it is required that all nodes along the Tunnel
should support MPLS.

u If other nodes (cross-node Tunnels) exist between the source node and
destination node, you can specify the nodes and ports that the Tunnel passes
using routing constraints.

u When configuring a Tunnel, comply with the following rule to distribute labels for
each node: the value of outgoing label for the previous node is equal to the
value of incoming label for the next node.

u Two identical incoming labels are not allowed in the label forwarding table of
one node.

u The OTNM2000 supports manual configuration or automatic distribution of


labels.

u If the NNI interface that a Tunnel passes by is a VLAN sub-interface, the VLAN
ID of the local sub-interface should be the same with that of the connected
opposite end sub-interface.

4.3 Configuring PWs and PW Protection

This section introduces the basic concepts of PWs, and the configuration methods
of PWs and PW protection.

4.3.1 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of PWs

You need to know about the basic concepts and application scenarios of PWs
before configuring PWs and PW protection.

Basic Concepts

u PW

118 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

The PW is a transparent transmission tunnel between PEs as defined in the


PWE3 technology. The PWE3 technology is a point-to-point L2VPN technology,
which provides an MPLS solution that transparently transmits various user
services over the packet switched network (PSN). PWE3 emulates various
user services such as TDM signals and Ethernet packets, and transmits these
services in end-to-end mode over a PW on the PSN.

In an MPLS network, double labels are required for the PW. The outer label
(Tunnel label) is used for forwarding of LSP in an MPLS network. The inner
label (PW label) is used for binding the PW. One MPLS Tunnel can carry
multiple PWs.

Figure 4-3 shows the basic framework of PWE3.

Figure 4-3 Basic Framework of PWE3

The concepts related to basic framework of PWE3 are described as follows:

4 PE: It is an edge device in a provider network.

4 CE: It is a customer edge device.

4 P: It is a device on the backbone network of a service provider.

4 AC: it refers to attachment circuit. It is an independent link or circuit that


connects a CE to a PE. The attributes of an AC include the encapsulation
type, MTU, and interface parameters of a specific link type.

4 Tunnel: It refers to the tunnel.

4 PW: Pseudo-Wire. It is a virtual connection.

u PW 1:1 Protection

Version: B 119
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

In the PW 11 protection mode, when the working PW is faulty, the service will
be switched to the protection PW which has been created beforehand, so as to
protect the service. A PW 1:1 protection is applicable when the working PW
and the protection PW have the same source node and the same sink node, as
shown in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4 PW 1:1 Protection

Configuration Rule

u The PAN equipment supports static PWs.

u The configuration method of PW 1:1 protection is to configure a standby PW on


the basis of the active PW.

u If the PW 1:1 protection is applied, you do not need to set the protection type
when configuring the L2VPN service. Select the active PW as the PW
associated with service.

u You must complete the configuration of Tunnel used by PW before configuring


the PW.

u You can create multiple PWs in a batch manner when configuring the PW.

u When configuring a PW, comply with the following rule to distribute PW labels
for each PE: the value of outgoing label for the previous node is equal to the
value of incoming label for the next node.

120 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

u Two identical incoming labels are not allowed in the label forwarding table of
one node.

u The OTNM2000 supports manual configuration or automatic distribution of


labels.

u Generally, the static PWs created in a batch manner select to use the same
Tunnel.

u The PW cannot be delivered to the equipment independently, but can be


delivered together with L2VPN service.

4.4 Configuring Ethernet Services

This section introduces the Ethernet related concepts and configuration methods of
Ethernet services (E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree).

4.4.1 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of Ethernet


Services

You need to know about the basic concepts and application scenarios of E-Line, E-
LAN and E-Tree services before configuring the Ethernet services.

Basic Concepts

u E-Line

The E-Line service is a point-to-point service. It belongs to MPLS L2VPN in


VPWS mode.

Figure 4-5 shows the network mode of the E-Line service. To implement the
communication between Site 1 and Site 2, you can configure the user-to-
network E-line service carried by PW. In this case, the service accessed to the
user side is encapsulated into PW, and then carried by Tunnel.

Figure 4-5 Network Diagram of E-Line Service

u E-LAN

132 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

The E-LAN service is a multipoint-to-multipoint service. It belongs to MPLS


L2VPN in VPLS mode. After an E-LAN service is created on the equipment, the
equipment creates a VSI for the service and binds all the points that need to
communicate with each other to the VSI. These points are called VSI leaf
nodes. A VSI leaf node can be an Ethernet port (UNI) or a PW.

E-LAN services can be classified into user-to-user E-LAN services and user-to-
network E-LAN services.

4 The VSI leaf nodes of a user-to-user E-LAN service are UNI interfaces.
Figure 4-6 shows the network mode. A user-to-user E-LAN service is
created on PE to implement mutual communication of Site 1, Site 2 and
Site 3. The VSI on PE1 functions as a layer 2 switch to forward service
packets.

Figure 4-6 Network Diagram of User-to-User E-LAN Service

4 Figure 4-7 shows the network mode of user-to-network E-LAN service.


The user-to-network E-LAN service is created on PE1, PE2 and PE3
respectively to implement mutual communication among Site 1, Site 2 and
Site 3. The VSIs on PE1, PE2, and PE3 and the network-side channels
function as a layer 2 switch to forward service packets.

u E-Tree

The E-Tree service is a point-to-multipoint service. It belongs to MPLS L2VPN


in VPLS mode. The difference between E-Tree and E-LAN is listed as follows:

4 Different nodes in the E-LAN service network can communicate with each
other.

4 The E-Tree service network includes one root node and multiple leaf
nodes. The root node can communicate with several leaf nodes, whereas
a leaf node cannot communicate with another leaf node.

134 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

Figure 4-8 Network Diagram of E-Tree Service

Configuration Rule

u E-Line

4 You must complete configuration of the Tunnel and PW used by the E-Line
before configuring the E-Line service.

4 Each E-Line service exclusively occupies a PW.

4 Each E-Line service should be configured with a pair of UNI interfaces.

4 When the UNI interface is a LAG port, select the corresponding LAG port
as the source or sink port of the E-Line service.

u E-LAN

4 In the user-to-network mode, a Tunnel and a PW should be configured


between two NEs.

4 In the user-to-user mode, only one NE is required, and the NE should be


configured with at least two interfaces.

4 By default, the split horizon function is disabled on UNI interfaces of each


NE and this function is enabled for the NNI interfaces.

u E-Tree

4 You must complete configuration of the Tunnel and PW used by the E-Tree
before configuring the E-Tree service.

4 You need to configure one root node and at least two leaf nodes when
configuring the E-Tree service.

4.4.2 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of VLAN

This section introduces the basic concepts and configuration rules of VLAN.

Basic Concepts

u VLAN

The VLAN refers to the VLAN ID carried in a TAG added to an Ethernet frame.
VLAN indicates dividing a physical network into logical subnets according to
specific rules. Broadcast packets in each VLAN can only be transmitted within
the VLAN, which means a VLAN corresponds a broadcast domain.

u QinQ

QinQ is a layer 2 VPN solution. With the VLAN nesting technology, data
packets carry two different VLAN tags to identify different data packets. This
eliminates the limitation of the original solution in which only one VLAN tag is
used to identify different data packets. In this way, VLAN IDs are extended. The
inner VLAN tag is referred to as C-VLAN, indicating the customer VLAN. The
outer VLAN tag is referred to as S-VLAN, indicating the carrier VLAN.

u VLAN RANGE

VLAN RANGE refers to the VLAN within a specific range. When the VLAN of
the user packets received by UNI is within a specific range, you need to
perform settings on the equipment to allow the VLAN within a specific range to
enter the corresponding layer 2 service.

Configuration Rule

u UNI ingress traffic classification

UNI ingress traffic classification (based on VLAN) indicates classifying user


packets according to the VLAN carried by the packets. Only the user packets
with matched VLAN can enter the corresponding layer 2 service for forwarding.

Based on QINQ VLAN and inner VLAN matching the configured VLANs respectively can
enter the corresponding layer 2 service.

u VLAN operation

VLAN operation indicates processing the VLAN carried by a user packet,


including transparently transmitting or modifying the VLAN of the user packet.
VLAN operation includes ingress VLAN identification and egress VLAN action.

4 Ingress VLAN identification: Includes Identify and Not Identify, indicating


identifying or not identifying the VLAN carried in the packet received at the
ingress respectively.

4 Egress VLAN action: Includes NOP (no action), Add and Delete, indicating
performing no action on VLAN of the packet, adding an outer VLAN to the
packet and deleting the outer VLAN of the packet when the packet is
transmitted via the egress, respectively.
Ingress VLAN Egress VLAN

4.4.3 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of Multicast

You need to know about the basic concepts and application scenarios of static
multicast and IGMP before configuring the multicast function.

Basic Concepts

u IGMP

In the TCP/IP protocol suite, the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
manages the IP multicast group members. It establishes and maintains the
member relationship between IP hosts and multicast routers that are directly
connected to the IP hosts.

At present, IGMP has three versions:

4 IGMPv1 (defined in RFC 1112)

4 IGMPv2 (defined in RFC 2236)

4 IGMPv3 (defined in RFC 3376)

All IGMP versions support the ASM model. IGMPv3 can be directly applied to
the SSM model; IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 can be applied to the SSM model with
the technical support of IGMP SSM Mapping.

u IGMP Snooping

Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping (IGMP Snooping) is a multicast


constraint mechanism running on layer 2 devices. It is used for managing and
controlling multicast groups.

By listening to and analyzing IGMP packets, a layer 2 device running IGMP


Snooping establishes mappings between ports and multicast MAC addresses
and forwards multicast data based on these mappings.

As shown in the figure below, when IGMP Snooping is not running on the layer
2 device, multicast packets are broadcast to all devices at layer 2. When IGMP
Snooping is running on the layer 2 device, multicast packets for known
multicast groups are multicast to the receivers, rather than broadcast to all
hosts, at layer 2.

Version: B 139
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

Figure 4-10 Comparison Before and After the IGMP Snooping Is Running on the Layer 2
Equipment

u Layer 2 multicast

In a layer 2 network (VPLS), IGMP Snooping can be used to monitor IGMP


protocol packets, learn multicast group ports, and create layer 2 multicast
forwarding tables which indicate the mappings among interfaces, broadcast
domains (VSI), and multicast groups, thus guiding the forwarding of multicast
data.

u Layer 2 static multicast

Layer 2 static multicast indicates that the multicast forwarding table entries are
configured manually so that the interfaces are mapped to multicast group
addresses for guiding the forwarding of multicast data.

Configuration Rule

u The multicast function is applied to the VPLS network (E-LAN and E-Tree).

u Configure VPLS L2VPN (E-LAN and E-Tree) service before configuring the
multicast function.

u You need to set the multicast function in the Board Configuration of the
specified NE according to the project requirements.

4.4.8 Configuring Multicast

Network Diagram

As shown in the figure, NE1 to NE4 use the CiTRANS 610A as access equipment.
An E-Tree service has been created between NE1 and NE4 with NE1 as root node
and NE2 to NE4 as leaf nodes. NE2 to NE4 are connected to the users respectively.
NE1 is interconnected with NE2, NE3 and NE4 via the VPLS network.

In this VPLS network, if the IGMP Snooping is not configured on NE1, the multicast
data flow will be broadcast within the VSI, wasting the bandwidth. To ensure that the
multicast data will not be forwarded on the PW without a receiver, you need to
enable the IGMP Snooping within the VSI of NE1. Besides, you need to configure
the static multicast to add the PW with receivers into the multicast group.

CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

Basic Concepts

E-CES service is a type of point-to-point service. It is mainly applied in wireless


service and enterprise private line service. It belongs to the MPLS L2VPN in VPWS
mode.

Figure 4-11 shows the network of the E-Line service. The difference between E-
CES and E-Line is described as follows:

u E-Line service transparently transmits the Ethernet service in the MPLS


network, using the Ethernet interface as the UNI interface.

u E-CES service transparently transmits the TDM service in the MPLS network,
using the E1 or STM-1 interface as the UNI interface.

4.7 Configuring Clock Synchronization

This section introduces the basic concepts and configuration methods for clock
synchronization.

4.7.1 Basic Concepts and Configuration Rules of Clock


Synchronization

This section introduces the basic concepts and configuration rules of clock
synchronization.

Basic Concepts

Clock synchronization refers to the attaining of synchronism between the


frequencies or phases of two or more signals; the obtaining of a desired, fixed
relationship among corresponding significant instants of two or more signals; the
valid moment occurs at the same rate. In this way, all the equipment in the
communication network can work at the same rate.

The CiTRANS 610A supports the following clock synchronization functions.

u Supports three clock working modes: locked, holdover and free running.

u Supports extracting clock from interfaces for tracing; supports tracing the
external clock.

u Provides one channel of external clock input / output, supports 120Ω clock
interfaces, and provides 2048 kHz / 2048 kbit/s (HDB3) clock signals.

u Processes and transmits synchronization status messages (SSM).

Configuration Rule

Configuration rules of the clock synchronization are as follows:

1. Synchronization reference source selection:

4 If BITS or other high-precision external clock equipment exists, configure


the NE to trace the external synchronization reference source.

4 If no BITS or other high-precision external clock equipment exists,


configure the NE to trace the line synchronization reference source.

Version: B 193
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

4 It is advisable to use the internal synchronization reference source as the


synchronization reference source of the lowest level.

2. Trace the line clock following the shortest path rule.

4 For the ring network composed of less than six NEs, trace the reference
source in one direction.

4 For the ring network composed of six NEs or more than six NEs, the line
clock should trace the shortest path. For example, if the network is
composed of N NEs, there should be N/2 NEs that trace the reference
clock in one direction, and the other N/2 NEs that trace the reference clock
in another direction (if the N is an odd number, the middle NE can trace the
reference clock in any direction).

3. The maximum hop number of clock tracing should be no more than 20.

4. Enable the standard SSM protocol.

5. For the equipment configured with multiple clock sources, set the clock source
restoration mode to auto mode.

4 Equipment Configuration

4.7.2 Configuring Clock Synchronization

Network Diagram

As shown in the figure, NE1 and NE2 are CiTRANS 650, and NE3 and NE4 are

follows.

u NE1 and NE2 are connected to the active and standby clock sources (2048kHz)
respectively. The clock precisions are in compliance with G.811 standards and
G.812 standards respectively.

u The clock transfer direction is as follows: NE1→NE3→NE4→NE2 (active);


NE2→NE4→NE3→NE1 (standby).

4.8 Configuring MTU


Background Information

MTU is short for Maximum Transmission Unit. It refers to the maximum number of
bytes of a data packet that can be transmitted by an interface.

When two sets of equipment on the same network interconnect with each other, if
the MTU set at the transmit end exceeds the maximum number of bytes supported
by the receive end or a transit equipment, data packets will be discarded during the
course of forwarding.

When the CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the MAN offered by another vendor, it
is recommended that the MTU of the channel offered by the MAN of another vendor
be set to a value larger than 1600. When the MTU setting of another vendor
includes the interface MTU and PWE3 MTU, it is recommended that both MTUs be
set to a value larger than 1600.

Prerequisite

You have configured the interfaces.

200 Version: B

5. Check whether the command has been successfully delivered in the


Command Manager GUI that appears subsequently ( indicates that the
command is being delivered; indicates that command delivering has failed;
indicates that the command has been successfully delivered).

4.9 Configuring QoS

QoS policies of a Tunnel, a PW or a L2VPN can be configured in one of the


following two ways:

u Set QoS in course of configuring a Tunnel, a PW or a L2VPN. See Configuring


Tunnels, Configuring PWs and Configuring E-Line Services for the
configuration methods.

u Set QoS after you finish configuring a Tunnel, a PW or a L2VPN.

This section describes how to set QoS after you finish configuring a Tunnel, a PW or
a L2VPN.

Background Information

Quality of service (QoS) is a mechanism that guarantees a required level for


services in terms of bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio in a
communication network. In this way, the request and response of a user or an
application can satisfy the expected level of service. QoS does not contribute to
increase of bandwidth but it can be used to allocate and monitor network resources
properly to minimize network delay and jitter and ensure the quality of key services.

Version: B 203
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

Figure 4-12 shows the processing sequence of QoS technology on the equipment.


Traffic classification (which is the prerequisite for providing DiffServ for different
services) is applied on the equipment first, and then other QoS technologies such
as traffic policing, congestion avoidance, congestion management and traffic
shaping are applied, providing committed QoS for various services that have
different network requirements.

Figure 4-12 Processing Sequence of QoS Technology on the Equipment

u Traffic classification indicates classifying packets according to the matching


rules defined based on some specific information contained in the packets, and
implementing different QoS policies for the packets matching different rules.
The traffic classification is the basis of QoS application.

u Traffic policing indicates controlling the incoming traffic to ensure that the
network resources are properly allocated. In the traffic policing mechanism, the
committed access rate (CAR) is used to control traffic.

u Congestion avoidance is a traffic control mechanism which automatically


discards packets based on packet discarding policies when network congestion
occurs.

u Congestion management indicates making policies to decide the processing


sequence and discarding rules for packet forwarding when network congestion
occurs. The queue scheduling technology is generally used for congestion
management. Packets sent from one interface are placed into multiple queues
with different priorities. The packets are sent based on the priorities. Different
queue scheduling algorithms are used for different situations and result in
different results.

u Traffic shaping limits the traffic and burst of an outgoing connection in the
network, and ensures that the packets are transmitted out of the network in a
uniform rate.

204 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

The technology which implements traffic classification according to different


methods can be classified into simple traffic classification and complex traffic
classification. The CiTRANS 610A generally uses the simple traffic classification.
The basic principles of the simple traffic classification are described as follows.

u The simple traffic classification implements the mapping between the internal
priority and external priority. Firstly, packets are classified based on the EXP
values of MPLS packets and the 802.1P values of VLAN packets. Then, the
mapping between the priorities of the packets on different networks is created.

u Simple traffic classification can be classified into uplink simple traffic


classification and downlink simple traffic classification.

4 Uplink simple traffic classification: The packets are classified into eight
CoSs (CS7, CS6, EF, AF4 to AF1, and BE) and marked with three colors
(green, yellow and red) based on the EXP values of MPLS packets and
802.1P values of VLAN packets. When the CoS of packets is EF, BE, CS6
or CS7, the packets are marked in green by default. The uplink simple
traffic classification is used to differentiate services such as voice, video
and data services.

In the process of congestion management and queue scheduling, different


services enter different queues to implement different scheduling solutions.
For example, voice services can enter the PQ queues with a higher priority
to ensure a low latency. If the uplink simple traffic classification is not
implemented, the service type of all the packets is BE.

4 Downlink simple traffic classification: Based on the CoSs (CS7, CS6, EF,
AF4 to AF1, and BE) and three colors (green, yellow and red), the EXP
values of MPLS packets, and the 802.1P values of VLAN packets are
reset. The downlink simple traffic classification implements the function of
re-marking, which means re-marking the EXP values of MPLS packets or
the 802.1P values of VLAN packets.

Prerequisite

u You have configured the L2VPN service (E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree or E-CES).

u You are an EMS user with Operator Group authority or higher.

Version: B 205
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

Configuration Rule

u The QoS related traffic bandwidth control and service priority are deployed at
the service layer (L2VPN flow layer and PW layer). Deploying at the Tunnel
layer is not recommended.

u As for the QoS related queue scheduling and congestion avoidance, you are
advised to keep the default settings. Manual configuration is not recommended.

u The common QoS functions used for the CiTRANS 610A include simple traffic
classification (service priority), traffic policing (traffic bandwidth policy),
congestion avoidance (queue buffering policy) and congestion management
(queue scheduling policy). Figure 4-13 shows the application of QoS in the
service network.

4.10 Configuring Typical Scenarios

This section introduces the service model and configuration method of typical
scenarios.

4.10.1 Introduction to Service Model

The basic topology of the client service model include NNI and Overlay models.

Version: B 217
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

4.10.1.1 NNI Model

Network Model

Figure 4-14 Network Diagram of NNI Model

As shown in Figure 4-14, the NNI model indicates that the NNI interface of the
CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the NNI interface of the MAN equipment offered
by FiberHome.

Service Implementation

u The NNI model is applicable to the scenario that the MAN only uses the
equipment offered by FiberHome. This model features the whole-course
application of MPLS-TP technology in the entire network.

u The access point B1/B2 of MAN uses the NNI interface to connect with the NNI
interface of the CiTRANS 610A.

u The network management packets are encapsulated in the MCC format of


MPLS-TP standard (without svlan), and are aggregated in in-band mode
globally.

218 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

u The service packets are encapsulated in the TUNNEL+PW format of the


MPLS-TP standard (without svlan).

u The PAN network is under unified management of the network management


system of MAN.

u An end-to-end LSP from the CiTRANS 610A to A1 is created directly at the


client service access point. The LSP aggregates client services to the UNI
interface of A1 and then directly terminates the services at the IP/MPLS Core.

u The network management MCC packets of the CiTRANS 610A are aggregated
to the F interface of A2 through the OSPF automatic routing of each NE in MAN,
and then aggregated to the OTNM2000 server of NOC.

4.10.1.2 Overlay Model

Network Model

Figure 4-15 Network Diagram of Overlay Model

Version: B 219
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

As shown in Figure 4-15, the Overlay model indicates that the NNI interface of the
CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the UNI interface of the MAN equipment offered
by another vendor.

Service Implementation

u The Overlay model is applicable to the scenario that the MAN uses the
equipment offered by other vendors instead of FiberHome. This model features
that the FiberHome PAN equipment uses end-to-end MPLS-TP technology.

u Both the IP/MPLS Core and NOC (Network Operations Center) OTNM2000
require the HUB-PAN.

u The access point B1/B2 of MAN uses the UNI interface to connect with the NNI
interface of the CiTRANS 610A.

u The network management packets are encapsulated in the MCC format of


MPLS-TP standard (with svlan), and are aggregated in out-of-band mode in
MAN.

u The service packet are encapsulated in the TUNNEL+PW format of the MPLS-
TP standard (with svlan).

u The PAN network is separately managed independent of the MAN.

u In the PAN network, an end-to-end LSP from the CiTRANS 610A to the IP/
MPLS Core CiTRANS 650 is created at the client service access point. The
LSP aggregates client services to the UNI interface of the CiTRANS 650 and
terminates the services at the IP/MPLS Core.

u In the MAN, all the uplink service packets and network management packets of
the CiTRANS 610A are regarded as ordinary Ethernet packets. An LSP is
created based on the port+vlan traffic classification rules. At the UNI interface
of access point B1/B2, the LSP aggregates the service packets to A1, and
aggregates the network management packets to A2.

4.10.2 Configuring the NNI Model Service

This section introduces how to configure the client service in typical scenario of NNI
model using an example.

220 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

Network Diagram

Figure 4-16 Typical Scenario of NNI Model

As shown in the figure, the NNI interface of the access network equipment
CiTRANS 610A interconnects with the NNI interface of the FiberHome MAN
equipment CiTRANS 660. The access network PAN equipment CiTRANS 610A is
under unified management of MAN.

It is required that the eNode B and IP/MPLS Core should be able to communicate
with each other. This can be implemented by configuring an E-Line service between
NE1↔NE6. The service route between eNode B and IP/MPLS Core is descried as
follows.

u In uplink direction

The uplink data packets of the eNode B carry no VLANs. The packets are
transmitted from NE6 to NE1, added with the VLAN ID 601 at NE1, and finally
received at the IP/MPLS Core.

Version: B 221
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

u In downlink direction

The IP/MPLS Core downlink data packets carry the VLAN ID 601. After being
processed by traffic classification at NE1, the packets are transmitted from NE1
to NE6. The packets are stripped of the VLAN ID 601 at NE6 and finally
received at eNode B.

Note:

u If NE21 connects with the IP/MPLS Core via one port and multiple
VLANs, you need to configure flow classification (flow VLAN and
flow type) on NE1 to identify different services.

u The VLAN operations such as identification of incoming VLAN or


action of outgoing VLAN can be configured only on NE1 or NE6, or
configured on NE1 and NE6 respectively. This example introduces
how to configure the VLAN operation on NE3 and NE6 respectively.

u The network management MCC packets of the NNI model are


aggregated in in-band mode, so that you need not set the MCC
VLAN. If the MCC VLAN has been set, you need to disable this
function. For the methods of checking and setting MCC VLAN, see
CiTRANS 650 Small Flexible Optical Transport Platform
Configuration Guide.

4.10.3 Configuring the Overlay Model Service

This section introduces how to configure the client service in typical scenario of
Overlay model using an example.

226 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

Network Diagram

Figure 4-17 Typical Scenario of Overlay Model

As shown in the above figure, the NNI interface of the access network equipment
CiTRANS 610A offered by FiberHome interconnects with the UNI interface of the
MAN equipment offered by another vendor. The access network PAN equipment is
separately managed by the OTNM2000 of FiberHome. When creating the network
topology using the OTNM2000, you need to create a virtual NE to simulate the MAN
offered by another vendor and connect it with the PAN equipment at both ends of
the MAN.

Version: B 227
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

It is required that the eNode B and IP/MPLS Core should be able to communicate
with each other. This can be implemented by configuring an E-Line service between
NE1↔NE3. The service route between eNode B and IP/MPLS Core is descried as
follows.

u In uplink direction

The uplink data packets of the eNode B carry no VLANs. After being added
with the VLAN ID 601 at NE3, the packets are transmitted from NE3 to NE1 by
passing through the VPWS channel offered by another vendor for transparently
transmitting service packets, and finally received at the IP/MPLS Core.

u In downlink direction

The IP/MPLS Core downlink data packets carry the VLAN ID 601. After being
processed by traffic classification at NE1, the packets are transmitted from NE1
to NE3 by passing through the VPWS channel offered by another vendor for
transparently transmitting service packets. The packets are stripped of the
VLAN ID 601 at NE3 and finally received at eNode B.

228 Version: B
4 Equipment Configuration

Note:

u The channel for transmitting service packets and that for transmitting
network management MCC packets offered by the MAN of another
vendor should be the VPWS private line service channels used for
transparently transmitting specific VLAN IDs.

u The service Tunnel between NE1↔NE3 should use the VLAN sub-
interface whose VLAN ID is 800, so that it can transparently pass
through the VPWS channel with VLAN ID 800 offered by the MAN of
another vendor. Configure a NNI VLAN sub-interface whose VLAN
ID is 800 for NE1 (the CiTRANS 650) and configure static ARP of the
NNI VLAN sub-interface. See CiTRANS 650 Small Flexible Optical
Transport Platform Configuration Guide for configuration methods.

u NE2 (the CiTRANS 650) should be configured with an MCC VLAN


according to the VLAN ID of the channel used for transmitting
network management MCC packets. In this case, NE2 can transmit
the network management MCC packets which carry this VLAN ID,
and manage the remote end PAN equipment such as NE3 (the
CiTRANS 610) by passing through the MAN offered by another
vendor. For methods to view and configure a MCC VLAN, see
CiTRANS 650 Small Flexible Optical Transport Platform
Configuration Guide.

u The VLAN operations such as identification of incoming VLAN or


action of outgoing VLAN can be configured only on NE1 or NE3, or
configured on NE1 and NE3 respectively. This example introduces
how to configure the VLAN operation on NE3.

5.1.2 Replacing Equipment

Prerequisite

u You have known about the Precautions.

Version: B 237
CiTRANS 610A Packet Transfer Platform User Manual

u You are an EMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.

u The configuration database of the faulty NE has been backed up to the


OTNM2000 server or client end.

u Information about the faulty NE including the version information and database
backup directory has been recorded.

Influence on the System

After the equipment is replaced, you need to restore service configurations from the
backup configuration database. If the configuration database is not backed up in
advance, services must be re-configured.

Precautions

u When you take the equipment from a place with low temperature to a place with
high temperature, condensation occurs on the equipment. In this case, if you
power on the equipment directly, the equipment will be short-circuited.
Therefore, you need to place the equipment in the new place for a period of
time and remove the condensation on the equipment manually.

5.3 Handling High Temperature Issues

The high temperature issues have severe influence on the network running. This
section introduces the cause, impact, solution and preventive measures of the high
temperature issues.

5.3.1 Impact and Cause of High Temperature Issues

The high temperature increases the failure rate and reduces the lifetime of an
equipment, increasing the OPEX. The high temperature also leads to noise which is
harmful to human body.

Impact of High Temperature Issues

Increasing failure rate of equipment: Failure rate refers to the inherent failure
probability of a component in its lifetime. Within its working temperature, the failure
rate is stable. However, if the working temperature is excessively high, the failure
rate increases exponentially with the increase of temperature.

Cause of High Temperature Issues

The high temperature issues may be caused by installation or maintenance.

u Installation

4 When the equipment is installed on roofs or in weak current wells, the


ambient temperature rises with the outside temperature.

4 The equipment is installed in closed environments, such as closed


cabinets or battery compartment, causing poor heat dissipation.

u Maintenance

4 The heat vents of the equipment are not cleaned regularly.

4 The air conditioner in the equipment room is faulty or powered off and is
not handled in a timely manner.

Temperature Issues

Solution

u Solution to Improving Equipment Installation

4 It is advisable to install the equipment in an equipment room equipped with


air conditioners.

4 It is advisable to use the outdoor cabinet when installing the case-shaped


equipment in an outdoor environment.

u Solution to Improving Equipment Maintenance

4 Clean the equipment regularly to prevent the heat vents from being
blocked and ensure the heat dissipation of the equipment.

4 Repair the air conditioner in a timely manner when it is faulty or powered


off.

Preventive Measures

Perform the following operations to check the faults of the risky NEs.

1. Check whether the air conditioners work properly. If not, repair the air
conditioners.
