Configuring a SONET/SDH Access Port

This section provides examples of configuring a SONET/SDH access port on the following adapter cards:

4-port OC3/STM1 Clear Channel Adapter Card

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a SONET/SDH access port on a 4-port OC3/STM1 Clear Channel Adapter card. The default setting for the mode command is access.

CLI Syntax:
port port-id
    sonet-sdh
        path [sonet-sdh-index]
            encap-type atm
            [no] shutdown

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring a SONET/SDH access port on a 4-port OC3/STM1 Clear Channel Adapter card.

Example:
config# port 1/2/1
config>port# sonet-sdh
config>port>sonet-sdh# path
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# encap-type atm
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# exit
config>port# exit

Use the config port info command to display SONET/SDH port configuration information.

ALU-B>config>port# info 
....
#--------------------------------------------------
echo "Port Configuration"
#--------------------------------------------------
....
    port 1/2/1
        shutdown
        sonet-sdh
            path
                encap-type atm
                atm
                no shutdown
            exit
        exit
    exit
....

2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter Card

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a SONET/SDH access port on a 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card.

CLI Syntax:
port port-id
    sonet-sdh
        path sonet-sdh-index 
        path sonet-sdh-index 
    tdm
        ds1 ds1-id
            channel-group channel-group
                encap-type atm
                mode access
                [no] shutdown

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring a SONET/SDH access port on a 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card.

Example:
config# port 1/2/2
config>port# sonet-sdh
config>port>sonet-sdh# path sts1-1
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# path vt15-1.1.1
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# exit
config>port# tdm
config>port>tdm# ds1 1.1.1 
config>port>tdm>ds1# channel-group 1 
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# encap-type atm
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# mode access
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# no shutdown
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# exit
config>port>tdm>ds1# exit
config>port>tdm># exit
config>port# exit

4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter Card

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a SONET/SDH access port on a 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card.

CLI Syntax:
port port-id
    sonet-sdh
        path sonet-sdh-index 
        path sonet-sdh-index 
    tdm
        ds1 ds1-id
            channel-group channel-group
                encap-type cem
                mode access
                [no] shutdown

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring a SONET/SDH access port on a 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card (4-port mode).

Example:
config# port 1/2/3
config>port# sonet-sdh
config>port>sonet-sdh# path sts1-1
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# path vt15-1.1.1
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# exit
config>port# tdm
config>port>tdm# ds1 1.1.1 
config>port>tdm>ds1# channel-group 1 
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# encap-type cem 
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# mode access
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# no shutdown
config>port>tdm>ds1>channel-group# exit
config>port>tdm>ds1# exit
config>port>tdm># exit
config>port# exit

The following display shows the configuration when the 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card is in 4-port mode. Use the config port info command to display SONET/SDH port information.

ALU-B>config>port# info 
....
#--------------------------------------------------
echo "Port Configuration"
#--------------------------------------------------
....
sonet-sdh
            path sts1-1
                payload vt15
                no shutdown
            exit
            path vt15-1.1.1
                no shutdown
            exit
        exit
        tdm
            ds1 1.1.1
                channel-group 1
                    encap-type cem
                    no shutdown
                exit
                no shutdown
            exit
         exit
....

The following display shows the configuration when the 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card is in 1-port mode. Use the config port info command to display SONET/SDH port information.

ALU-B>config>port# info 
....
