Configuring Internal Ports (NG WDM NEs)

The attributes of Ethernet interfaces need to be configured when Ethernet boards are configured with services or used for tests. You can configure the internal ports (VCTRUNK ports) for an Ethernet board.

Prerequisites

The Ethernet boards must be created.

In the case of OptiX OSN 1800 series, the Ethernet board includes LEM18.
In the case of OptiX OSN 6800 and OptiX OSN 3800, the Ethernet boards include TBE, L4G, 11LEX4 and 11LEM24.
In the case ofOptiX OSN 8800 series, the Ethernet boards include EGSH, 54TEM28, LEX4 and LEM24.

Background Information

NOTICE:

To ensure the availability of an end-to-end Ethernet service, make sure that the port attributes of the Ethernet boards at the two ends of the services are the same.

Procedure

In the NE Explorer, select an Ethernet board and select Configuration > Ethernet Interface Management > Ethernet Interface in the Function Tree. Select the Internal Port option button.
Click the TAG Attributes tab and set the TAG. Click Apply.
Click the Network Attributes tab and set the Port Type of the internal port.
NOTE:
- In the case of UNI, the port processes the TAG attribute of 802.1Q and the port is with the Tag Aware/Access/Hybrid attribute.
- In the case of C-Aware, the port does not process the TAG attribute of 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries C-VLAN tag and processes the data packet based on the C-VLAN tag.
- In the case of S-Aware, the port does not process the TAG attribute of 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries S-VLAN tag and processes the data packet based on the S-VLAN tag.
Click Encapsulation/Mapping tab and set the port encapsulation and mapping. Click Apply.
Click LCAS tab and set the port LCAS. Click Apply.
Click Bound Path tab and browse the bound paths.
NOTE:
In the case of Ethernet boards of the OptiX OSN 8800 T32, you can configure the bound path of the VCTRUNK port.
Click the Advanced Attributes tab and set the port attribute. Click Apply.
NOTE:
Broadcast packet suppression is based on the proportion between the broadcast packet and all packets. The value ranges from 10% to 100%, with an increment of 10%.

NOTE:
The configuration items are different according to different boards.
