Configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA

This chapter provides information about configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Restrictions for Configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA

This chapter contains information for configuring two models of the channelized SPAs on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, but some features are not yet supported on both models.

Consider the following restrictions when configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6:

  • Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) is not supported.
  • A maximum of 2000 NxDS0 channels are supported.

Note
APS is not supported on Channelized OC-x SPA.

Configuration Tasks

This section describes how to configure the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, including required and optional configurations. It includes information about configuring the SPAs in either synchronous optical network (SONET) or synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) framing modes. For information about managing your system images and configuration files, refer to the following:

Specifying the Physical Address for Controller and Interface Configuration

This section describes how to specify the physical location of the SIP, SPAs, and interfaces on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.

To specify the physical address for controller or interface configuration, use the interface and controller sonet commands, where:

  • slot —Specifies the chassis slot number in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers where the SIP is installed.
  • subslot —Specifies the slot of the SIP where the SPA is installed.
  • port —Specifies the SONET port number. There is only one port on a 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA, therefore the port number is always 0.

For example, if the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA or 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA is installed in subslot 0 of a Cisco ASR 1000 SIP in slot 3 of the chassis, the controller configuration address is specified as controller sonet 3/0/0 .

For channelized SPA configuration, the interface address format is: slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group , where:

  • channel-group —Specifies the logical channel group assigned to the time slots within the T1 link.

For more information about identifying slots and subslots, see the Required Configuration Tasks.

Naming the Interface

Interface names are automatically generated, and the format will be dependent on the mode each particular linecard is operating on. The name formats of the serial interface created are listed below.

Channelized T3 mode

If framing is SONET or SDH with au-3:

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port ][ds3 |ds1 ]: [channel-group ]

SONET Mode
  • If framing is SONET and mode is vt-15:

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port ]. [sts1/ vtg/ t1 ]: [channel-group ]

  • If framing is SONET and mode is CT3

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port ]. [ds3/ t1 ]: [channel-group ]

  • If framing is SONET and mode is T3:

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port ]. [ds3 ]

SDH Mode

If the aug mapping is au-4, the au-4 value is always 1; if the aug mapping is au-3, then the only supported mode is c-11 (carrying a T1).

  • If SDH-AUG mapping is au-4 and if the tug-3 is mode t3/e3:

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port ]. [au-4/ tug-3/ tug-2/ e1 ]: [channel-group ]

  • If SDH-AUG mapping is au-3:

interface serial [slot/ subslot/ port/ au-3/ tug-2/ t1 ]: [channel-group ]

POS on the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA

If framing is SONET and n is from 1-12:

interface pos slot/ subslot/ port: nsts-1

Optional Configurations

There are several standard, but optional, configurations that might be necessary to complete the configuration of your serial SPA.

Configuring the Encapsulation Method

When traffic crosses a WAN link, the connection needs a Layer 2 protocol to encapsulate traffic. To set the encapsulation method, use the following commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group
  3. Router(config-if)# encapsulation encapsulation-type {hdlc | ppp | frame-relay}
  4. Router(config-if)# crc {16 | 32}

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group

Example:

Selects the interface to configure and enters interface configuration mode.

  • slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group —Specifies the location of the interface.

For addressing information, refer to the Specifying the Physical Address for Controller and Interface Configuration. and Naming the Interface.

Step 3

Router(config-if)# encapsulation encapsulation-type {hdlc | ppp | frame-relay}

Sets the encapsulation method on the interface, where:

  • hdlc—Sets the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol for serial interface. This encapsulation method provides the synchronous framing and error detection functions of HDLC without windowing or retransmission. This is the default for synchronous serial interfaces.
  • ppp—Sets point-to-point protocol (PPP) for serial interface.
  • frame-relay—Sets Frame Relay (for serial interface).
Step 4

Router(config-if)# crc {16 | 32}

Selects the CRC size in bits, where:

  • 16—16-bit CRC. This is the default
  • 32—32-bit CRC.

Configuring the CRC Size for T1

CRC is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. The 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA uses a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) by default, but also supports a 32-bit CRC. The designators 16 and 32 indicate the length (in bits) of the frame check sequence (FCS). A CRC of 32 bits provides more powerful error detection, but adds overhead. Both the sender and receiver must use the same setting.

To set the length of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on a T1 interface, use these commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group
  3. Router(config-if)# crc {16 | 32}

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group

Example:

Selects the interface to configure and enters interface configuration mode.

  • slot/ subslot/ port: channel-group —Specifies the location of the interface.

For addressing information, refer to the Specifying the Physical Address for Controller and Interface Configuration and Naming the Interface.

Step 3

Router(config-if)# crc {16 | 32}

Selects the CRC size in bits, where:

  • 16—16-bit CRC. This is the default.
  • 32—32-bit CRC.

Configuring FDL

Facility Data Link (FDL) is a 4-kbps channel provided by the Extended Super Frame (ESF) T1 framing format. The FDL performs outside the payload capacity and allows you to check error statistics on terminating equipment without intrusion. To configure FDL, use the following commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# controller sonet slot/ subslot/ port
  3. Router(config)# sts-1 sts-#
  4. Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# mode {ct3 | ct3-e1 | t3 | vt-15 }
  5. If vt-15 mode was selected:

  • slot/ subslot/ port —Specifies the location of the controller.

For addressing information, refer to the Specifying the Physical Address for Controller and Interface Configuration.

Step 3

Router(config)# sts-1 sts-#

Specifies the SONET Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) level and enters STS1 configuration mode, where:

sts-1# —STS values are 1 to 3.

Step 4

Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# mode {ct3 | ct3-e1 | t3 | vt-15 }

Specifies the mode of operation of an STS-1 path, where:

  • ct3 —A STS-1 carrying a DS3 signal is divided into 28 T1s (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy [PDH]).
  • ct3-e1 —The channelized T3 is carrying E1 circuits.
  • t3— STS-1 carries an unchannelized (clear channel) T3.
  • vt-15 —A STS-1 is divided into seven Virtual Tributary Groups (VTG). Each VTG is then divided into four VT1.5’s, each carrying a T1.
Step 5

If vt-15 mode was selected:

Example:

Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# vtg  vtg#

Configures the T1 on the VTG, where:

  • vtg# —Specifies the VTG number. Values are 1 to 7.
Step 6

Router(config-ctrlr-sts1)# t1 t1# framing {sf | esf }

Example:

Specifies the type of framing, where:

  • t1# —Number indicating the T1 channel.
  • sf — Specifies that Super Frame (SF) is used as the T1 framing type.
  • esf —Specifies that Extended Super Frame (ESF) is used as the T1 framing type. Select esf to configure FDL.

Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (Hardware-Based on the QFP)

Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) allows you to combine interfaces which correspond to an entire T1 or E1 multilink bundle. You can choose the number of bundles and the number of T1 or E1 lines in each bundle in any combination of E1, T1, and NxDS0 member links interfaces.

On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, MLPPP functionality is implemented on the Quantum Flow Processor (QFP)—not the SPA. On other platforms that implement SPA-based MLPPP, the MLPPP member links must reside on the same SPA—this is not a restriction on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. QFP-based MLPPP supports member links in the MLPPP bundle across different SPAs and SIPs on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

For more information about configuring MLPPP in Cisco IOS XE software, see the “Configuring Media-Independent PPP and Multilink PPP” chapter of the Cisco IOS XE Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide, Release 2 .

This section includes the following topics:

MLPPP Configuration Guidelines

When configuring MLPPP, consider the following guidelines:

  • Only T1, E1, or NxDS0 links are supported in a bundle. The configuration will not prohibit higher bandwidth links from being added to the bundle, but they are not supported.
  • Links of differing bandwidths are supported in the same bundle.
  • PPP encapsulation must be enabled before configuring multilink-related commands.

  • group-number —The group number for the multilink bundle. Range 1-2147483647
Step 3

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink fragment disable

Disables PPP multilink fragmentation.

Configuring LFI

Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) is implemented on the QFP on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. QFP-based LFI supports LFI on a bundle with any number of links—from one link, up to the maximum number supported by the router. When using LFI on MLPPP, the QFP load balances the priority packets across all links in the bundle to minimize the latency on the priority interleaved traffic.

LFI Configuration Guidelines

When you configure LFI, consider the following guidelines:

  • Configure LFI using the ppp multilink interleave command. For MLPPP, this is on the multilink interface.
  • Configure and apply an output QoS service-policy that classifies the priority and non-priority traffic. For MLPPP, you can apply the output policy on the multilink interface.

Note

When you configure LFI, note the following restrictions:

  • Virtual-template interfaces are not supported.
  • Packet ordering is not guaranteed for priority traffic sent interleaved on an MLPPP bundle with multiple links.
  • IP header compression (such as, cRTP, cUDP, or cTCP) is not supported on packets classified by QoS as priority packets when using LFI on an MLPPP bundle with multiple links. IP header compression requires packet ordering. LFI sends all priority packets using PPP encapsulation, which does not preserve packet order when there are multiple links in the bundle. If you must support IP header compression, then you should not configure LFI or you should not make the LFI traffic priority. MLP encapsulation on non-priority QoS classes does preserve packet ordering.

To configure LFI on a multilink interface, use the following commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# interface multilink group-number
  3. Router(config-if) ppp multilink
  4. Router(config-if)# ppp multilink interleave

  • group-number —The group number for the multilink bundle. Range 1-2147483647
Step 3

Router(config-if) ppp multilink

Enables Multilink PPP.

Step 4

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink interleave

Enables interleaving of packets among the fragments of larger packets on an MLP bundle.

Inverting Data on the T1/E1 Interface

If the interface on the channelized SPA is used to drive a dedicated T1 line that does not have B8ZS encoding, you must invert the data stream on the connecting CSU/DSU or on the interface. Be careful not to invert data on both the CSU/DSU and the interface, as two data inversions will cancel each other out.

To invert data on a T1/E1 interface, use the following commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port
  3. Router(config-if)# invert data

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port

Example:

Selects the serial interface and enters interface configuration mode, where:

  • slot/ subslot/ port —Specifies the location of the controller.

For addressing information, refer to the Specifying the Physical Address for Controller and Interface Configuration.

Step 3

Router(config-if)# invert data

Inverts the data stream.

What to do next

Use the show running configuration command to verify that invert data has been set: 


router# show running configuration

Changing a Channel Group Configuration

To alter the configuration of an existing channel group, the channel group needs to be removed first using the no form of the channel-group command. To remove an existing channel group, use the following commands:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Router# configure terminal
  2. Router(config)# interface serial slot/ subslot/ port
  3. Router(config-controller)# no channel-group t1 t1-number

Step 3

Router(config-controller)# no channel-group t1 t1-number

Selects the channel group you want to remove, where:

  • t1-number—Channel-group number.

Configuring BERT

BERT (Bit-Error Rate Testing) is used for analyzing quality and for problem resolution of digital transmission equipments. BERT tests the quality of an interface by directly comparing a pseudorandom or repetitive test pattern with an identical locally generated test pattern.

The BERT operation is data-intensive. Regular data cannot flow on the path while the test is in progress. The path is reported to be in alarm state when BERT is in progress and restored to a normal state after BERT has been terminated.

BERT Test Configuration Guidelines

When configuring BERT on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA or 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA, consider the following guidelines:

  • Only DS1/T1 and DS3/T3 paths are supported on the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.
  • A maximum of 27 concurrent tests across all paths on the SPA is supported.
BERT Pattern Descriptions

The following tables describe the supported BERT patterns on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.

Note 

See the DS3/T3/E3 BERT Patterns table for pattern descriptions.

The SIPs and SPAs support many QoS features using modular QoS CLI (MQC) configuration. Since there are no serial SPA-specific QoS features, refer to your network processor documentation for QoS configuration information.

Verifying Interface Configuration

Besides using the show running-configuration command to display your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router configuration settings, you can use the show interface serial and the show controllers sonet commands to get detailed information on a per-port basis for your channelized SPA.

Verifying Per-Port Interface Status

To find detailed interface information on a per-port basis for the channelized SPAs, use the show interface serial and show controllers sonet commands.

See the Verifying the Interface Configuration for an example of the show interface serial command.

The following example provides sample output for interface port 0 on the SPA located in subslot 0 of the Cisco ASR 1000 SIP installed in slot 1of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router:
