Configuring Controllers

There are three types of controllers for the line card. The controllers are the optics controller, the ethernet controller, and the coherent DSP controller. This chapter describes the procedures used to configure these controllers.


Note


Unless otherwise specified, “line cards” refers to 1.2T and 1.2TL line cards.

AINS

The Automatic-In-Service (AINS) feature allows the controller to automatically move to the automatic-in-service state after the maintenance window is completed. A soak time period is associated with the AINS state. The controller automatically moves to the In-Service state after the soak time period is completed. During the AINS maintenance window, alarms are not propagated to the EMS/NMS monitoring system.

You can configure AINS on the client ports of the card.

AINS States

The following table lists the AINS states.

State

Description

None

AINS is not enabled on the controller or the soak time period is complete.

Pending

AINS is configured on the controller. However, the soak time period has not started because either the primary state of controller is in Shutdown, Admin down, or Not ready state or the secondary state is in Maintenance state. AINS can also move to Pending state if alarms are raised during the soak time period.

Running

AINS is enabled on the controller. The primary state of the controller is Up and the secondary state is AINS.

If there are any service-affecting alarms when AINS is runring on ethernet or optics controllers, the AINS state moves to Pending state. When the alarms are cleared, the AINS state moves to Running state.

The AINS soak time period restarts when there are line card reloads, XR reloads, line card warm reloads, power cycles, or alarm conditioning.

Soak Time Period

You can configure the soak time period to be between 1 minute to 48 hours.

All alarms are suppressed during the AINS state. When the optical and ethernet alarms are raised on the port during the soak time period, the AINS state moves to Pending. These alarms are not displayed in the output of the show alarms brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 active command but in the output of the show alarms brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 conditions command. When all the alarms clear, the soak time period starts, and the AINS state moves to Running. When the soak time period expires, the port moves to IS state.

Configuring AINS

To configure AINS on a muxponder, use the following command:

configure

hw-module location location mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes

commit

The following is a sample in which all client ports are configured with AINS with soak time period specified to be 15 minutes.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 15
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

To configure AINS on a muxponder slice, use the following command:

configure

hw-module location location mxponder-slice slice-number client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes

commit

The following is a sample in which slice 0 client ports are configured with AINS with soak time period specified to be 40 minutes.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder-slice 0 client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 40
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Disabling AINS

To disable AINS on all muxponder client ports, set the hours and minutes to 0. Use the following commands:

configure

hw-module location location mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes

commit

The following is a sample in which AINS is disabled on all client ports.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

To disable AINS on a muxponder slice, set the hours and minutes to 0. Use the following command:

configure

hw-module location location mxponder-slice slice-number client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes

commit

The following is a sample in which AINS is disabled on all client ports of slice 0.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder-slice 0 client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Displaying the AINS Configuration

The AINS Soak field in the output indicates the current state of AINS. The current state can be None, Pending, or Running. The Total Duration field indicates the total soak time period that is configured. The Remaining Duration field indicates the soak time that remains, after which, the AINS state moves to None.

This example displays the ethernet controller statistics with AINS Soak in running state.

Description

Forward Error Correction (FEC) support on QXP card for Ethernet controllers

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.8.1

FEC is now supported by the 100GE Ethernet controller on the NCS1K4-QXP-K9 card. FEC is supported for all pluggables except QSFP-100G-LR4-S and ONS-QSFP28-LR4.

Forward error correction (FEC) is a feature that is used for controlling errors during data transmission. This feature works by adding data redundancy to the transmitted message using an algorithm. This redundancy allows the receiver to detect and correct a limited number of errors occurring anywhere in the message, instead of having to ask the transmitter to resend the message.

FEC States for Ethernet Controller

The following table lists the FEC states for the Ethernet controller.

State

Description

None

FEC is not enabled on the Ethernet controller.

Standard

Standard (Reed-Solomon) FEC is enabled on the Ethernet controller.

FEC configuration is automatically enabled for only the pluggables that support Auto-FEC. If you manually configure FEC, the manual configuration overrides the Auto-FEC.

The supported pluggables for Auto-FEC are:

  • QSFP-100G-SR4-S

  • QSFP-100G-CWDM4-S

  • QSFP-100G-SM-SR

  • QSFP-100G-AOC-1M

  • QSFP-100G-AOC-3M

  • QSFP-100G-AOC-10M

  • QDD-400-AOC15M

  • QDD-400G-FR4-S

  • QSFP-100G-ER4L

  • QDD-400G-DR4-S

  • QDD-400G-LR8-S

  • QDD-4X100G-LR-S

The LR4 pluggable is a 1310nm long range band pluggable that does not require you to enable FEC.

The software automatically enables FEC mode on the pluggables installed in the Cisco NCS 1004. When you upgrade the software of an NCS 1004 with pluggables in the FEC disabled mode, traffic is affected.

The following sample shows the running FEC configuration on the LR4 pluggable:

Description

Enhanced Q-Margin Support

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.1

Enhanced Q-Margin is supported for Forward error correction (FEC) and performance monitoring on CoherentDSP Controllers for 1.2T and 1.2TL cards. This enhanced Q-margin value is calculated based on the maximum number of errors for each frame. An attribute that is called instantaneous Q-margin is displayed in the output of the show controllers coherentDSP command. The lower the delta value between the instantaneous Q-margin value with the Q-margin value, the better the FEC performance of the NCS 1004 system. The instantaneous Q-margin values thus help you to optimize the system with continuous error correction in subsea transport networks.

Command modified:

  • show controllers coherentDSP

Enhanced Q-Margin Support

From Release 7.3.1 onwards, enhanced Q-Margin is supported for Forward error correction (FEC) and performance monitoring on CoherentDSP controllers for 1.2T and 1.2TL cards. Enhanced Q-margin provides a better error free signal in the optical link. The enhanced Q-margin value is calculated based on the maximum number of errors per frame. An attribute that is called instantaneous Q-margin is displayed in the output of the show controllers coherentDSP command. The lower the delta value between the instantaneous Q-margin value with the Q-margin value, the better the FEC performance of the NCS 1004 system.

Configuring FEC on OTN-XP Card – QDD-400G-ZRP

The QDD-400G-ZRP coherent trunk pluggable supports two types of FEC modes on the OTN-XP card:

  • C-FEC

  • O-FEC

You can configure the required FEC mode on the OTN-XP card. You can migrate from CFEC to OFEC or OFEC to CFEC mode.


Note


On configuring datapath, the default FEC enabled is C-FEC mode.



Note


The change in FEC mode affects traffic.

Release Information

Feature Description

Laser Squelching

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.8.1

Laser Squelching is now triggered using a new interrupt mechanism to detect faults in the client or trunk connections. Compared to the earlier poll-based triggers, the new interrupt-based mechanism makes the protection switching considerably faster.

This feature is supported on the following line cards with 100GE client rate with the ONS-QSFP28-LR4 pluggable:

  • NCS1K4-1.2T-K9

  • NCS1K4-1.2TL-K9

  • NCS1K4-OTN-XP

  • NCS1K4-2-QDD-C-K9

You can enable laser squelching on Ethernet controllers. When laser squelching is enabled, the laser is shut down in the event of trunk faults (LOS, LOF), and a SQUELCHED alarm is raised on the mapped client port.

In previous releases, implementation was based on a poll mechanism and client squelch was supported only in case of trunk fault scenarios. From 7.8.1 release squelching uses an interrupt based method. Hence squelching happens faster when compared to previous releases. Squelch happens for client alarms also like Ingress LF, LOA, and CSF (not for egress client alarms) in addition to trunk fault cases. Fast squelching helps to achieve faster protection switching. See Protection Switching Use Cases. This feature is supported on the following line cards with 100GE client rate with the ONS-QSFP28-LR4 pluggable:

  • NCS1K4-1.2T-K9

  • NCS1K4-1.2TL-K9

  • NCS1K4-OTN-XP

  • NCS1K4-2-QDD-C-K9

To configure laser squelching on the Ethernet controllers, use the following commands:

configure

Protection Switching Use Cases

Fast-Squelching provides increased protection switching speed when there’s a trunk fault or a client fault.

The following sample topology includes a Far End (FE) station and a Near End (NE) station. Each station includes an NCS 1004 node having two line cards. The nodes are connected to the respective Traffic generators through a Protection Switching Module (PSM).

Figure 1. Reference Topology for Protection Switching

Protection Switching Principle (Trunk fault)

If there is a fiber cut in the trunk working path from the FE station to the NE station, an LOS alarm is raised on the NE working trunk. This results in the squelching of all client ports mapped to the working NE trunk port. As the laser of the client port is squelched, LOS is reported on the W-RX2 port of the PSM2. As the received optical power on the W-RX2 port of PSM is below the threshold, PSM2 switches to receive the optical signal in the P-RX2 port instead of the W-RX2 port. Hence switching happens for traffic from work to protect in FE station to NE station direction. In this way, bidirectional switching is implemented.

In the case of a unidirectional trunk fault, switching happens in one direction as explained above. In the other direction, when LOS is received at the W-RX2 port of PSM2, W-TX2 sends LOS for 25 milliseconds. When LOS is reported on the NE client port, fault gets propagated over the trunk, resulting in the squelching of FE station client ports. Finally, the LOS on the PSM port results in switching in this direction as well.

Protection Switching Principle (Client fault)

When a client failure happens on the FE station, a Client Signal Failure (CSF) alarm is raised on the NE station trunk. The CSF on the trunk results in the squelching of the corresponding client port, and the PSM switching happens. In summary, a fault on the NE station client RX port results in CSF on the FE station trunk, and the switching happens. And, a fault on the NE station client TX port results in LOS on the PSM ports, and the switching happens.


Note


  • PSM must be in the standalone mode.

  • PSM alarm threshold must be set to +/ –3 dBm from the actual power received in the PSM RX port.

  • If line card protection is required, the working and protect path must be configured in two different line cards.

  • If only client protection is required, the working and protection path can be configured in the same line card.

  • If the LC trunk configuration is x50 rate, then we can’t use a single-line card for work and protection due to x50 coupled mode limitations (coupled trunk).

  • Manual switch, Force switch, and lock-out protection on PSM, result in bidirectional switching.


The PSM supports both C2B (4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP) and C3B (40x10G-4x100G-MXP) cards. The C2B card allows client data rates of 100G and 400G, while the C3B card supports client data rates of 10G and 100G. The PSM supports upto 400G with the GL-2 pluggable module.

The PAM4 and QDD pluggable modules take more than 50ms to recover traffic when switching between working and protection modes.

The GL-2 DP04CFP2-M25-K9 pluggable module supports both Flexcoh streaming and ODUCn termination modes. Compared to Flexcoh streaming mode, the ODUCn termination mode with chromatic dispersion configuration of +/- 10000 has a shorter switching time.

The following table lists 400G client pluggables that do not support switching from the active path to the protection path within 50 milliseconds:

Operating Mode

Pluggables not Supporting Switching within 50 ms

400GE to 2×400G

QDD-400G-DR4-S

QDD-400G-FR4-S


Note


According to the QDD pluggable standard, if an electrical (TP1) or optical (TP3) signal is interrupted or disturbed at a client pluggable, and the Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) inside the QDD loses the lock, the QDD pluggable requires some time to recover the signal. Hence, when a fault is identified on the trunk port, the client port Rx loses the lock. The recovery takes between 1.5 to 2 seconds depending on the pluggable standard.

Idle Insertion

When a fault occurs on the trunk port, you can hold the propagation of local faults using the idle insertion feature. This feature is enabled on the ethernet controller by configuring the hold-off timer.

When the fault occurs on the trunk, idles are inserted in the traffic stream from the trunk port to the client port for the duration of the configured holdoff-time. If the trunk port remains faulty beyond the configured holdoff-time, a local fault is transmitted towards the client device. If the trunk recovers from the fault before the holdoff-time expires, traffic resumes.

This feature can be used on customer deployments to prevent reset of client ports during a PSM switchover.

You can enable the idle insertion feature by using the following commands:

configure

controller HundredGigECtrlr Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

holdoff-time trunk-fault time-value

The range of timevalue is from 0 ms to 3000 ms.

The following is a sample for enabling the hold off -timer in 100GE controllers:

Release Information

Feature Description

Idle Insertion for Ethernet Controllers

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.5.2

Idle insertion for Ethernet controllers feature performs end-to-end link verification between 100GE or 400GE Ethernet controllers before bringing up the actual traffic. This feature enables you to perform pre-provisioning checks to isolate link errors in advance without any Ethernet testers. This feature is supported on the 1.2T C band, 1.2T L band, and 800G QSFP-DD Transponder line cards.

Idle insertion for Ethernet controllers feature allows you to perform end-to-end link verification between 100GE or 400GE Ethernet controllers before bringing up the actual traffic. This feature is supported on the 1.2T, 1.2TL, and 2-QDD-C cards.


Note


OTU4 client rate is not supported.


Idle frames can be inserted in both the ingress and egress directions on Ethernet controllers and the LOCAL-FAULT and REMOTE-FAULT alarms are cleared. The performance monitoring counters on the pcs layer are monitored to check for any errors on the link.


Warning


Do not configure the Idle insertion for Ethernet controllers feature on the link that carries live traffic.


Recommended Topology for Link Verification

The following diagram describes the recommended topology for link verification:

Figure 2. Topology for Link Verification
Topology for Link Verification

The following steps describe the sequence for link verification using this topology:

  1. Both the near-end and far-end clients have the LOCAL-FAULT alarm if the trunk is up on both the ends.

  2. Enable idle ingress on the near-end client. The idle frame transmits toward the trunk link and reaches the far-end client. The LOCAL-FAULT alarm is then cleared on the far-end client.

  3. As the far-end client has fiber loop, the idle frame is inserted again into the same client RX toward the trunk link and reaches the near-end client. The LOCAL-FAULT alarm is then cleared on the near-end client as well.

  4. When you enable idle insertion on any client and in any direction, the idle frame transmits in loop similar to this topology and all the LOCAL-FAULT and the REMOTE-FAULT alarms are cleared.

  5. The link can be monitored after all the alarms are cleared. The link has a problem if any alarm is reported during the link test.

Configuring Idle Insertion for Ethernet Controllers

Before You Begin:

  • Do not configure idle frame insertion with hold-off timer.

  • Do not configure PRBS on the trunk.

You can configure this feature by using the following commands:

configure

controller hundredGigECtrlr Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

insert-idle ingress

insert-idle egress

commit

end

The following is a sample for enabling the idle ingress and idle egress in 100GE controllers:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller hundredGigECtrlr 0/2/0/2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-eth-ctrlr)#insert-idle ingress
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-eth-ctrlr)#insert-idle egress
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-eth-ctrlr)#commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-eth-ctrlr)#end

You can disable this feature by using the following commands:

configure

controller hundredGigECtrlr Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

no insert-idle ingress

no insert-idle egress

commit

end

Limitation

After disabling the idle frame insertion feature, the LOCAL-FAULT or REMOTE-FAULT alarm may not appear again because the idle frames are in loop. Hence, you must break the idle frame loop in the link by performing either one of the following:

  • Perform fiber OIR on either the near-end or far-end client port.

  • Perform shut and unshut operation on any client port.

Verifying Idle Insertion Configuration for Ethernet Controllers

To verify the idle ingress and idle egress that is configured on the Ethernet controllers, use the following command:

When you enable LLDP drop on the client controller ports of the muxponder or muxponder slice, the LLDP frames drop on the ports without forwarding.


Note


LLDP on 400GE is not supported on the OTN-XP card.

Configuring LLDP Drop

You can configure the LLDP drop for a muxponder or muxponder slice. By default, the LLDP drop status is set to False. On enabling the LLDP Drop, the status is set to True.

To configure LLDP drop on a muxponder use the following command:

configure

hw-module location location mxponder drop-lldp

Note


Use the no form of the command to disable LLDP drop.

commit

Limitation

  • When you disable LLDP globally, the LLDP gets disabled on all the interfaces.


Note


By default, LLDP is enabled for NCS 1004. But when you enable and disable LLDP in the global configuration mode, LLDP gets disabled on all the interfaces.

Workaround: You must enable LLDP globally or reload the Router.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Support on Management Interface

The LLDP support on management interface feature requires a system to form LLDP neighborship over the system management interface, through which it advertises and learns LLDP neighbor information. This information about neighbors used to learn about the neighbors and in turn the topology of the devices for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) purposes.

Advantages of LLDP

  • Provides support on non-Cisco devices.

  • Enables neighbor discovery between non-Cisco devices.

Limitation

  • When you disable LLDP globally, the LLDP gets disabled on all the interfaces.


Note


By default, LLDP is enabled for NCS 1004. But when you enable and disable LLDP in the global configuration mode, LLDP gets disabled on all the interfaces.

Workaround: You must enable LLDP globally or reload the Router.


Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) vs LLDP

The CDP is a device discovery protocol that runs over Layer 2. Layer 2 is also known as the data link layer that runs on all Cisco devices, such as routers, bridges, access servers, and switches. This protocol allows the network management applications to automatically discover and learn about other Cisco devices that connect to the network.

The LLDP is also a device discovery protocol that runs over Layer 2. This protocol allows the network management applications to automatically discover and learn about other non-Cisco devices that connect to the network.

Interoperability between non-Cisco devices using LLDP

LLDP is also a neighbor discovery protocol that is used by network devices to advertise information about themselves to other devices on the network. This protocol runs over the data link layer, which allows two systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.

With LLDP, the user can also access the information about a particular physical network connection. If the user uses a non-Cisco monitoring tool (through SNMP), LLDP helps you identify the Object Identifiers (OIDs) that the system supports. The following OIDs are supported:

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.4

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.5

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.6

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.7

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.8

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.9

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.10

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.11

  • 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.12

Neighbor Discovery

System advertises the LLDP TLV (Type Length Value) details over the management network using which other devices in the management network can learn about this device.

Configuring LLDP

  • LLDP full stack functionality is supported on all three management interfaces supported in NCS 1004.

  • You can selectively enable or disable LLDP on any of the management interfaces on demand.

  • You can selectively enable or disable LLDP transmit or receive functionality at the management interface level.

  • Information gathered using LLDP can be stored in the device Management Information Database (MIB) and queried with the Simple Network Management protocol (SNMP).

  • LLDP operational data are available in both Command Line Interface and netconf-yang interface.

Enabling LLDP Globally

When you enable LLDP globally, all interfaces that support LLDP are automatically enabled for both transmit and receive operations.


Note


You can override this default operation at the interface to disable receive or transmit operations.


The following table describes the global LLDP attributes that the user can configure:

Table 6.

Release Information

Description

Daisy Chain Support on Management Ports

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.7.1

In a daisy chain arrangement, multiple NCS 1004 devices are connected to form a ring-like topology, and only the first and last nodes are connected to a Top-of-Rack (TOR) switch.

The first connection serves as the main path for data transmission and carries the traffic, while the last connection acts as a backup or secondary path. If the primary path fails, the secondary path takes over and allows traffic to continue transmitting in the network. You can daisy chain up to five NCS 1004 nodes in the network.

Daisy Chain feature is supported only on the management ports 0 and 1 on the NCS 1004 chassis.

The following diagram shows the Daisy Chain topology. In this topology, three NCS 1004 nodes are connected to each other over the management ports.

Figure 3. Daisy Chain Topology
Daisy Chain Topology

Configure Daisy Chain Support on Management Ports

Daisy Chain must be configured only on the management port 1.

Before You Begin:

  • Enable Storm Control on TOR Switch

  • Disable DAD on Management​ Port

  • STP must be running on the TOR switch.

  • Management port 0 must not be in shut down state and must be configured with either IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • Management port 1 must not be configured with either IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • LLDP is not supported on the management port 1 if Daisy Chain is configured​.

To configure Daisy Chain on the management port 1, enter the following commands:

configure

interface mgmtEth 0/RP0/CPU0/1

no ipv4 address

no ipv6 address

bridge-port routed-interface mgmtEth 0/RP0/CPU0/0

Verify Daisy Chain

To verify the daisy chain that is configured on the management port, use the following commands.


!         
interface MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0
 ipv4 address 10.127.60.220 255.255.255.0
!         
interface MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1
 bridge-port routed-interface MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0
!         
interface MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/2
 shutdown 
!      

Enable Storm Control on TOR Switch

In Daisy Chain configuration, one of the Top of the Rack (TOR) switch ports is in blocked state, provided NCS 1004 forwards STP BPDU in periodic intervals. Three consecutive hello misses move the port state from blocked to forwarding state.

When the NCS 1004 node reboots, the other port state of the TOR switch changes from blocking to forwarding state. Hence, a loop is created momentarily when both the TOR switch ports are in forwarding state. This loop results in duplication of packets on the network. Hence, storm control must be enabled on the TOR switch.

Enter the following commands from the TOR switch to enable storm control.

errdisable recovery interval 60

errdisable recovery cause storm-control

Disable DAD on Management​ Port

By default, IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is enabled on the management ports. Similar to storm control scenario, when IPv6 is configured for a management port, DAD happens due to looping in the network. Since DAD was enabled, management port will be down. In order to avoid management port being down due to momentary looping, DAD must be disabled on the management port 0.

Enter the following commands to disable DAD on the management port 0.

configure

interface mgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0

ipv6 nd dad attempts 0

DHCP Client

Table 8. Feature History

Release Information

Feature Description

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2

The DHCP client enables the router interfaces to dynamically acquire the IPv4 or DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server which is used to forward the response to the correct layer 2 address. The DHCP client ensures that configuration information reaches the correct device.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client functionality enables the router interfaces to dynamically acquire the IPv4 or DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server, and forwards the responses back to the correct Layer 2 address so that the correct device gets the correct configuration information.

DHCP has the ability to allocate IP addresses only for a configurable period of time, called the lease period. If the client is required to retain this IP address for a longer period beyond the lease period, the lease period must be renewed before the IP address expires. The client renews the lease based on configuration that was sent from the server. The client unicasts a REQUEST message using the IP address of the server. When a server receives the REQUEST message and responds with an ACK message. The lease period of the client is extended by the lease time configured in the ACK message. DHCP client supports DHCPv6.

DHCP Client Options

You can configure DHCPv6 client on management Ethernet interfaces. You can configure different DHCPv6 client options to differentiate between clients as required. The different DHCPv6 client options are also configured to differentiate how a DHCPv6 client communicates with a DHCPv6 server. The different DHCPv6 client options that can be configured are:

  • DUID: If the DUID DHCPv6 client option is configured on an interface, DHCPv6 client communicates with the DHCPv6 server through the link layer address.

  • Rapid Commit: If the Rapid Commit DHCPv6 client option is configured on an interface, DHCPv6 client can obtain configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server through a rapid two-step exchange (solicit and reply) instead of the default four-step exchange (solicit, advertise, request, and reply).

  • DHCP Options: The various other DHCPv6 options that can be configured on a DHCPv6 client are:

    • Option 15: Option 15 is also known as the User Class option and it is used by a DHCPv6 client to identify the type or category of users or applications it represents.

    • Option 16: Option 16 is also known as the Vendor ID option and it is used by a DHCPv6 a client to identify the vendor that manufactured the hardware on which the client is running.

    • Option 23: Option 23 is also known as the Domain name Server (DNS) option provides a list of one or more IPv6 addresses of DNS recursive name servers to which a client's DNS resolver can send DNS queries.

    • Option 24: Option 24 is also known as the Domain List option and it specifies the domain search list that the client uses to resolve hostnames with the DNS.

  • DHCP Timers: This option is used to set different timer value for DHCP client configurations. The various DHCP timer options are:

    • Release-timeout: It is used to set retransmission timeout value for the initial release message.

    • Req-max-rt: It is used to set the maximum retransmission timeout value for the request message.

    • Req-max-rt: It is used to set the maximum retransmission timeout value for the request message.

    • Sol-max-delay: It is used to set the maximum delay time of the first solicit message.

    • Sol-max-rt: It is used to set the maximum solicit retransmission time.

    • Sol-time-out: It is used to set the intial timeout value of the solicit message.

Enabling DHCP Client on Management Ethernet Interface

To enable DHCP client on the management Ethernet interface, use the following command:

configure

interface MgmtEth R/S/I/P

ipv6 address dhcp-client-options

duid linked-layer-address

rapid-commit

{option 16 vendor | option 15 ciscoupnnp | option 23 | option 24}

MAC Address Snooping on Client Ports

MAC address snooping allows you to learn the MAC address of the neighbor, that is connected to the client ports. You can enable ARP snooping on all client ports and learn the MAC address of neighbors through CLI.

This feature overcomes the limitation, where LLDP (Link Layer Discovery protocol) cannot be enabled in some networks.

Limitations

  • When you enable or disable MAC address snooping on any slice, few packets are dropped during configuration.

  • Open config interface for enabling or disabling MAC address snooping is not supported.

  • SNMP MIB is not supported for the MAC address attribute.


Note


When you enable MAC address snooping on client ports, it overrides LLDP.


Configuring MAC Address Snooping on Client Ports

You can configure MAC address or ARP snoop on slice in Muxponder slice mode using the following commands.

configure

Description

Configuration Alarms for Loopback

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.8.1

A configuration alarm is now triggered whenever there is a change in the loopback configuration. This alarm helps in improving loopback status monitoring.

You can now view the alarm details such as, the configuration time and date, description, severity, and location using the show alarms brief system active command.

You can configure the loopback on the CoherentDSP, FC, OTU, and Ethernet controllers to identify connection problems. The loopback can be configured only in the maintenance mode. Use the controller controller-type and the secondary-admin-state maintenance commands to place the controllers in the maintenance mode.

From R7.8.1, loopback configuration alarm details for each controller are triggered whenever there is a change in the loopback configuration. Details such as, location of the controller, severity, configuration date and time, and description are available in the output of the show alarms brief system active and show alarms brief history commands.


Note


Internal and line loopbacks are supported on the FC, OTU, and Ethernet controllers whereas only internal loopbacks are supported on the CoherentDSP controllers.

Configuring Loopback on the 1.2T Card

To configure the loopback, use the following commands:

configure

controller controllertype Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

sec-admin-state maintenance

Configuring Loopback on 2-QDD-C Card

From R7.3.1 onwards, 2-QDD-C card supports loopback on the 100 and 400GE controllers.


Note


On applying client-side loopbacks, traffic is looped and does not continue in the 2-QDD-C card. QSFP squelching happens on applying internal loopback.

To configure the loopback on the controllers, use the following commands.

configure

controller controllertype Rack/Slot/Instance/Port/Lanenumber

sec-admin-state maintenance

loopback [ line | internal ]

commit

Example

The following example shows how an internal loopback is configured on a 100GE controller.

Restore Factory Settings


Note


Perform this operation only on the console port.


You can restore the factory settings on the NCS 1004. The entire system configuration, including usernames, passwords, and IP addresses, is removed. You can perform this operation only through the console port and not on the management interface. To restore NCS 1004 to factory settings, use the commit replace command. After the commit replace operation completes, you must perform the IOS XR reload operation.

The commit best-effort command merges the target configuration with the running configuration and commits only valid changes (best effort). Some configuration changes might fail due to semantic errors.

Example

Headless Mode

During process restarts, CPU reload, or removal of CPU, the NCS 1004 operates in headless mode for up to 72 hours. During this time, traffic is not impacted, although the control plane is not up and running. Fault propagation continues to operate for failures on client and trunk ports. However, you cannot provision anything nor view operational data with a non-functional CPU. Performance monitoring data based on 15 minutes and 24 hour intervals is not supported with a non-functional CPU.

Trail Trace Identifier

The Trail trace identifier (TTI) feature helps you to identify the signal from the source to the destination within the network. You can configure the TTI sent or expected string only in ASCII string format. When the expected TTI string does not match the received TTI trace string, the controller goes down and the OTUK-TIM alarm is raised. To configure TTI on the coherent DSP controllers, use the following commands:

configure

controller coherentDSP R/S/I/P tti {sent | expected} ascii tti-string

commit


Note


The tti-string can have a maximum of 64 characters.

The following sample displays how to configure TTI on a coherent DSP controller with the sent and expected strings set to the same ASCII string. The state of the controller is up.

Configure TTI on OTN-XP Card

You can configure the TTI sent or expected string in the full ASCII format, or Source Access Point Identifier (SAPI)/Destination Access Point Identifier (DAPI) format on OTU, ODU, ODU-flex, ODUCn, and coherentDSP controllers for the OTN-XP card.

From R7.3.1 onwards, coherentDSP controller supports only the full ASCII string format.

From R7.3.2 onwards, coherentDSP controller supports SAPI/DAPI string format in addition to the full ASCII string format.

You can configure TTI for the following muxponder modes:

  • 10G-Grey-MXP

  • 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP

The following table lists the ASCII format that is supported on each muxponder mode for TTI:

Enable TIM CA on Path Monitoring Layer

You can enable Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) consequent action (CA) on the Path Monitoring (PM) layer using the pm-tim-ca command on mapper ODUs for Ethernet controller. The TTI transmit string in the SAPI/DAPI format is not configurable on ODUs that are transparent.

For example, the clients that are supported are ODU4, ODU2, and ODU2E, and lower-order ODUs such as ODU2 or ODU2E.

You can configure pm-tim-ca only on mapper ODUs such as ODU2E (10G mapper), ODU4 (100G mapper), and ODU-FLEX (400G mapper).

To configure pm-tim-ca on mapper ODU in the 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP muxponder mode, use the following commands

Note


The cd-min and cd-max values must be set for BPS values that are greater than 4 in the 1.2T card.



Note


When the user provisions the cd-min and cd-max values that are outside the range through CLI, the provisioned values are accepted; however, only the actual values supported by the hardware are applied.


The following is a sample where chromatic dispersion is configured on the optics controller.

Release Information

Feature Description

PRBS (Pseudo Random Binary Sequence) on ODU4

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.1

1.2T card supports PRBS on the ODU4 controller. This feature allows you to test whether the traffic is error free during link bring up without depending on the peer port.

The Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) feature allows you to perform data integrity checks between the NCS1004 trunk links without enabling the actual client traffic.

You need to enable PRBS feature on both the transmitting and receiving NCS 1004 trunk ports. The transmitting trunk port generates a bit pattern and sends it to the peer NCS 1004 device. The device detects if the sent bit pattern is received.

From R7.3.1 onwards, you can configure PRBS on the NCS 1004 trunk port for the 2-QDD-C card.

You can configure NCS 1004 trunk port in any one of the following modes for PRBS on the 1.2T card:

  • Source mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port generates PRBS signal on the line continuously as per the configured PRBS pattern.

  • Sink mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port gets locked to the ingress signal according to the configured pattern, analyzes and reports the errors.

  • Source-Sink mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port acts as both the PRBS transmitter and receiver, that is, it generates PRBS signal as per the configured pattern, and also gets locked to the ingress signal with the same pattern, and reports the errors.


Note


From R7.3.1 onwards, the 1.2T card supports PRBS on ODU4.


NCS 1004 trunk port supports the following PRBS patterns:

  • PRBS31 — Sequence length is from 2^31 -1 bits.

  • PRBS23 — Sequence length is from 2^23 -1 bits.

  • PRBS15 — Sequence length is from 2^15 -1 bits.

  • PRBS7 —Sequence length is from 2^7 -1 bits.

Limitations of PRBS

There are following limitations with the PRBS feature:

  • There is no SNMP support to fetch the PRBS status or Performance Monitoring (PM).

  • TTI functionality is not supported with PRBS.

  • Loopback and PRBS configurations cannot coexist on a coherentDSP controller. Loopback configuration will be rejected if PRBS is already configured.

  • PRBS on ODU4 is supported only when the slice is provisioned in OTN client mode.

PRBS on OTN-XP Card

From R7.2.1 onwards, the OTN-XP card supports PRBS on the mapper optical data unit (ODU2e).


Note


ODU2e PRBS is not supported for OTU2E client rates.


NCS 1004 with the OTN-XP card, supports the following PRBS mode:

  • Source mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port generates PRBS signal on the line continuously as per the configured PRBS pattern.

  • Sink mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port gets locked to the ingress signal according to the configured pattern, analyzes and reports the errors.

  • Source-Sink mode — The NCS 1004 at trunk port acts as both the PRBS transmitter and receiver, that is, it generates PRBS signal as per the configured pattern, and also gets locked to the ingress signal with the same pattern, and reports the errors.

  • invertedpn31 —Inverted pattern. Sequence length is from 2^31 -1 bits.

NCS 1004 trunk port supports the following PRBS patterns:

  • PRBS31 — Sequence length is from 2^31 -1 bits.

  • PRBS23 — Sequence length is from 2^23 -1 bits.

  • PRBS15 — Sequence length is from 2^15 -1 bits.

  • PRBS7 —Sequence length is from 2^7 -1 bits.

Configuring Pseudo Random Binary Sequence

The secondary admin state of the coherentDSP or ODU4 controller must be set to maintenance before enabling PRBS.

To enable the PRBS on the trunk port, use the following configuration command at the coherentDSP controller:

controller coherentDSP R/S/I/P prbs mode {source | sink | source-sink} pattern {pn31 | pn23 | pn15 | pn7}

To enable the PRBS on the trunk port, use the following configuration command at the ODU4 controller:

controller odu4 R/S/I/P/L opu prbs mode {source | sink | source-sink} pattern {pn31 | pn23 | pn15 | pn7}

When the PRBS is enabled on the trunk ports, you can view the following impacts in the corresponding client ports:

  • Client traffic is dropped in the direction of source to sink as the frames are overwritten by the PRBS pattern.

  • Remote fault is raised on the client ports nearer to the PRBS sink.

The following are the ODU4 PRBS combinations. The client ports must have physical loop back in all the combinations.

  • Near End client and Near End trunk ODU4

  • Near End client and Far End client ODU4

  • Near End client and Far End trunk ODU4

  • Near End trunk and Far End trunk ODU4

The following sample diagram describes the ODU4 PRBS combination for Near End client and Near End trunk.

Verifying PRBS

You can monitor the status of Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) on the CoherentDSP or ODU4 controller using the following command:

Configuring PRBS on OTN-XP Card

To configure PBRS mode on the ODU2e controller, you must configure Optical Channel Payload Unit (OPU) on the ODU2e controller followed by the PRBS mode and the pattern. The PRBS supported pattern on the OTN-XP card is invertedPN31.

From R7.3.1 onwards, you can configure PRBS on client or mapper ODU4 and ODU flex controllers.

For fiber channel controllers, PRBS is supported on mapper ODU flex controllers.


Note


ODU2e PRBS is not supported for OTU2E client rates.


To configure PRBS mode on the ODU2e controller, enter the following commands:

configure

controller odu2e | oduflex R/S/I/P/client-port/lane-number

secondary-admin-state maintenance

opu

prbs mode {source | sink | source-sink} pattern invertedpn31 {direction {system | line}}

end

FlexO GID and IID

In the 4x100G-MXP-400G-TXP LC mode, the OTN-XP card uses flexible OTN (flexO) interfaces on trunk ports. These flexO interfaces provide a flexible and interoperable mechanism to transport OTUCn signals by grouping standard lower rate interfaces. Each flexO interface group is identified by a flexO group identification (GID) number, which ranges 1–1,048,576. Each member of a flexO group is identified by a flexO instance identification (IID) number, which ranges 1–254.

From Release 7.3.1 onwards, flexO GID and IID configurations are supported on CoherentDSP controller for the OTN-XP card.

Configuring FlexO GID and IID

To configure flexO GID and IID on the coherentDSP controller, enter the following commands:

configure

controller coherentDSP R/S/I/P

flexo

gid <gid-no> iid <iid-no>

commit


Note


You must configure the iid number based on the trunk bandwidth. You must add 1, 2, 3, and 4 iid numbers for 100G, 200G, 300G, and 400G respectively.


The following sample shows how to configure flexO GID and IID on the CoherentDSP controller:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller coherentDSP0/2/0/12
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-CoDSP)#flexo

Flexo Parameter Update on Inverse Muxponder Configuration on the OTN-XP Card

By default, the value of flexo parameters for the coherentDSP controllers in the 400G inverse muxponder, are as follows:

  • CoherentDSP 0/0/0/12―GID is 1 and IID is 1, 2.

  • CoherentDSP 0/0/0/13―GID is 1 IID is 3, 4.

The following example displays the default configurations on the transmission side:

For 400G inverse muxponder, the flexo configuration on these coherent DSP controllers must be such that GID is the same on coherentDSP controllers on both port 12 and port 13, and IIDs are in the incremental order. In case if one of the node configurations is invalid, the Provisioning Failed alarm is raised on that particular controller. The Provisioning Failed alarm moves to the slice level in case you perform a line card reload.

The following sample configures the same IID on the coherentDSP 0/0/0/12 as that of coherentDSP 0/0/0/13 and shows the resulting Provisioning Failed alarm.

Release Information

Description

APS Support for 100G and 200G Trunk Bandwidth on OTN XP Cards

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1

In addition to the 400G trunk bandwidth, you can now configure Automatic Protection Switching (APS) for the following trunk bandwidth combinations:

  • 200G DWDM with 2x100G clients

  • 100G QSFP28 Grey and 10x10G clients

Automatic Protection Switching (APS) on OTN XP Card

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.8.1

APS provides protection mechanism against optical fiber faults or signal failure. In case a failure is detected, live traffic is automatically moved from the working path to the protection path to prevent any data loss. Following trunk bandwidth combinations are supported:

  • 400G DWDM with 4x100G clients

  • 400G DWDM with 400G clients

You can enable this feature using the protected keyword of the hw-module command.

APS allows you to configure protection switching on trunk ports of NCS1K4-OTN-XP Cards. Protection switching automatically switches traffic from one path to another working path if any signal failure occurs. This requires configuring working and protection paths on trunk ports where the protection path works as backup for the working path. Usually, the working path is the active path and carries traffic. The traffic immediately switches to the protection path if a signal failure occurs on the working path.

The following figure explains the working of APS where the traffic is immediately switched from working path to the protection path in case of a signal failure.

Figure 4. Automatic Protection Switching

If an electrical(TP1) or optical(TP3) signal is interrupted or disturbed at the client pluggable and the CDR inside the QDD loses the Rx lock, then the QDD pluggable requires 1.5 to 2 seconds to recover from the Rx loss.

You can employ both the GL-1 and GL-2 pluggable trunk protection features. The GL-2 pluggable supports both Flexcoh and Termination modes. The GL-2 Termination mode offers a shorter switching time compared to the Flexcoh mode, and supports both GL-2 and GL-1 pluggables.

The Pluggables Switching Time table lists the 100G and 400G client pluggables that either support or do not support switching from the active path to the protection path within 50 milliseconds.

Note


According to the QDD pluggable standard, if an electrical (TP1) or optical (TP3) signal is interrupted or disturbed at a client pluggable, and the Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) inside the QDD loses the lock, the QDD pluggable requires some time to recover the signal. Hence, when a fault is identified on the trunk port, the client port Rx loses the lock. The recovery takes between 1.5 to 2 s depending on the pluggable standard.


To configure APS on trunk ports, perform these tasks:

Enable APS on Trunk

Before configuring APS, it must be enabled on the trunk ports of the NCS1K4-OTN-XP cards. Trunk protection on the NCS1K4-OTN-XP card supports 400G, 200G, and 100G bandwidth. For more details, see Client and Trunk Port Mapping on NCS1K4-OTN-XP Cards.

To enable protection switching and configure the client and trunk bandwidth for DWDM, use the following commands:

hw-module location location

mxponder

Define the Working and Protecting Resources in an ODU Group Controller

Before configuring the protection attributes, you must create an ODU group controller and configure the ports 12 or 13 as the working and/or protection paths.

Use the following commands to first create an ODU group controller and define the working and protection paths inside the group:

controller odu-group-mp Group-ID signal client-signal-type odu-type type-of-the-odu

protecting-controller [ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port]

working-controller [ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port]

Example

The following example shows how to create an ODU group MP 2 with ODU type ODUC4. This example also shows how to configure the port numbers 12 and 13 as working and protection paths respectively.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# controller Odu-Group-Mp 2 signal Otn odu-type ODUC4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# protecting-controller ODUC4 0/2/0/13
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# working-controller ODUC4 0/2/0/12
 

Note


If both APS and L1 Encryption are configured on the same ODU group controller, configure the GCC2 interface and the corresponding IP addresses for each trunk port separately. This ensures that any service impact on a trunk port does not affect the encryption functionality and also the independent working and protected paths for 1+1 trunk protection are maintained. For more details about configuring GCC interface, see Configuring the GCC Interface


Configure Protection Attributes of an ODU Group Controller

To configure the recommended protection attributes of an ODU group controller, use the following commands:

protection-attributes timers [ hold-off-time ] timer

protection-attributes protection-type [APSbidi]

protection-attributes protection-mode [revertive wait-to-restore-time] timer

protection-attributes connection mode [snc-n]

commit


Note


  • hold-off-time is an optional parameter. If this parameter is not specified, the default parameter value is used.

  • The recommended parameters for configuring protection attributes of an ODU Group Controller are snc-n, APSbidi, and wait-to-restore-time.


Example

The following example shows how to configure protection attributes protection type, protection mode, connection mode, and timers on the ODU group MP 2.


 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# protection-attributes timers hold-off-time 1000
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# protection-attributes protection-type APSbidi
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# protection-attributes protection-mode revertive wait-to-restore-time 400
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# protection-attributes connection-mode snc-n

For more details about these commands, see Command Reference for Cisco NCS 1004.

Manual Protection Switching

Protection switching is usually triggered automatically when a signal failure is detected. However, you can trigger a switch manually as well using the protection switching commands. The following table describes these switching commands and their priority levels that can be used to triggered a switch manually:

Table 16. Manual Protection Switching Commands Priority Levels

Priority

Priority Request

Description

1

lockout

Use this command to lockout the working path and prevent switching to the protection path. When lockout is configured, traffic is not switched to the protection path even if a failure is detected.

This command has the highest priority level and overrides all the other protection switching commands. This means that if lockout is configured, you cannot trigger force and manual commands.

2

force

Use this command to trigger a force-switch from the working path to the protection path and vice-versa.

This command cannot be triggered if lockout is configured.

3

manual

Use this to manually switch from the working path to the protection path or vice-versa in case a maintenance is scheduled on any of the paths.

This command cannot be triggered if lockout and force is configured.

Perform a Lockout

If there is a signal failure on the protection path, you can prevent the switching of traffic from the working path to the protection path by locking out the working path. Lockout command has the highest priority and overrides all other switching commands.

To perform a lockout, use these commands:

odu-group-mp Group-ID signal client-signal-type odu-type type-of-the-odu

protection-switching operate lockout odu-dest [ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port]

commit


Note


The ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port must be the working path.


Example

The following example shows how to configure lockout on an ODUC4 on the working path 0/2/0/13:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#Odu-Group-Mp2 signal Otn odu-type ODUC4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-Odu-Group-Mp2)#protection-switching operate lockout odu-dest ODUC4 0/2/0/13
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-Odu-Group-Mp2)#commit

Perform a Manual Switch

If there are changes to be done during a scheduled maintenance window on the working or protection paths, you can perform a manual switch from the working path to the protection path or the opposite way. This command is overridden by the force and lockout commands.

To perform a manual switch, use the following commands:

odu-group-mp Group-ID manual odu-dest ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port


Note


The manual switch command works irrespective of the working or protection path Rack/Slot/Instance/Port and uses only the Group-ID to switch the traffic.


Example

The following example shows how to manually switch traffic:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0: odu-group mp 1 manual odu-dest ODUC4 0/2/0/13

Perform a Forced Switch

You can also perform a forced switch of traffic from the working path to the protection path and also, conversely, using the following commands:

odu-group-mp Group-ID forced odu-dest ODUk Rack/Slot/Instance/Port


Note


The forced switch command works irrespective of the working or protection path Rack/Slot/Instance/Port and uses only the Group-ID to switch the traffic.


Example

The following example shows how to force switch the traffic:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0: odu-group mp 1 forced odu-dest ODUC4 0/2/0/13

Verify the APS Details on ODU Group Controller

You can verify the APS configuration details on ODU group controller such as, ODU group name, working path, protection path, and protection parameters, using the following command:
