Static Tunnel

As a transmission technology, the multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) can realize transparent transmission of data packets among users. The MPLS tunnel is the tunnel defined in the MPLS protocol. Independent from the service, the MPLS tunnel realizes the end-to-end transmission and carries the PWs related to the service.

Indicates the class of service. Eight CoS values are available according to the standard. Different CoS values correspond to different queues. The equipment provides different QoS for queues of different CoS.

Remote Tunnel ID

Example: 398

Each of the two intersecting nodes has a tunnel. One tunnel works as the active tunnel while the other works as the standby tunnel. Since the two tunnel IDs are different, the remote tunnel ID will be saved for a tunnel at each node for unified management.

NOTE:
  • This parameter can be set when Node Type is Transit, and Outbound Bearer Type and Inbound Bearer Type are MPLS-TP Shared Protection Ring.

Role

Active, Standby

Only two intersecting nodes are configured on the two-fiber bidirectional intersecting rings. The two tunnels that pass through the two intersecting nodes separately are configured as active and standby tunnels, so that if one intersecting node fails, services can pass through the other intersecting node. Services will choose the standby tunnel when the active tunnel is not available.

NOTE:
  • This parameter can be set when Node Type is Transit, and Outbound Bearer Type and Inbound Bearer Type are MPLS-TP Shared Protection Ring.
  • The active and standby roles are configured for management convenience. The actual service direction depends on the switching status of the shared protection ring other than the role configurations.
