The board-level protection is a redundancy protection achieved at a board level. When the working link, a port or the working board is faulty, the protection group carries out working-protection switching. The significant advantage of board-level protection is that when the board or working link is faulty, the services can be restored.
Prerequisites
You must be an NM user with "NE operator" authority or higher.
It applies to the TBE board.
Precaution
NOTICE: When creating
the board-level protection, adhere to the following principles:
- When you create the board-level protection, the available number of ports and type of ports of the working board must be the same as those of the protection board.
- The protection board must not bear services.
- When the TBE board accesses GE and FE electrical signals, the board-level protection is not supported.
- In OptiX OSN 6800A, the active and standby boards for board-level protection can be configured in two paired slots only.
Procedure
- Click the NE in the NE Explorer, and choose from the Function Tree.
- Click New, the Create
Board-Level Protection Group dialog box is displayed. Enter
the protection group ID in the Protection Group ID field. Select the extended mode in Extended Control Unit, and enter the other parameters of this protection group. For the
relevant parameters, refer to Parameters.
- Click OK, and the created protection group is displayed in the interface.
- Start the NE Explorer of the opposite NE. Refer to Steps 1 through 3 to create the board-level protection on the opposite NE, to create the reverse protection.
- Optional: Select one protection group and click Delete. Click OK in the Confirm dialog box displayed. The protection group can be deleted.
