The Web LCT provides the configuration of optical cross-connections.
This function realizes cross-connection at the OCh level and grooms
services by wavelengths, for future network development.
Optical Cross-Connection
Optical grooming is the configuration of logical wavelength routes, realized by optical cross-connection. This function meets the user's requirement of managing the services at the optical layer and services can be flexibly groomed.
Wavelength Grooming Configuration Flow
This section describes the configuration process related to wavelength grooming. Before configuring wavelength grooming based on the configuration flow, complete the basic configuration of NEs according to the configuration flow of creating a network.
Configuring the Edge Port
An edge port refers to the port that is connected to another NE by fiber. Setting an edge port is to set an optical port of an NE as a connection point between this NE and another NE. You need to configure the edge port before creating a single station optical cross-connection.
Creating NE-Level Optical Cross-Connection
Optical cross-connection defines the routes of wavelengths. Through the creation of ne-level optical cross-connection, the routes of inter-board services are configured.
Creating Single-Board-Level Optical Cross-Connection
The intra-board optical wavelength route can be set for a board (WSD9/WSM9/ROAM) that performs grooming at the optical layer. The intra-board service route is established through the creation of single-board-level optical cross-connection.
Configuration Example of ROADM
This section considers project R as an example to describe how to configure the ROADM on the Web LCT when the WSS board is used.
