Setting Resource Reservation

You can reserve resource for traditional WDM trails on ASON NEs. In an ASON, you can also create traditional services in addition to ASON services. The reserved resources at a port are used for the creation of traditional WDM trail. These resources cannot be used when you create ASON-WDM services or when the ASON-WDM services are rerouted.

Prerequisites

The ASON network is running normally.

Procedure

To reserve link resources on a per-NE basis, perform the following operations:
1. In the NE Explorer, click a board and choose ASON > Resource Reservation Management from the Function Tree.
2. Click Query to query the wavelength resource reservation status of the board from the NE.
3. Select the wavelength to be reserved. Double-click Resource Reservation to set the value to Enabled.
  NOTE:
  Resource Reservation represents whether the wavelength resources at the optical port are reserved for traditional services. If you select Enabled, the resource is reserved for traditional services. In this case, you must configure the remote end in the same way.
4. Click Apply. A dialog box is displayed, telling that the settings are applied.
