Configuring the SONET/SDH Port group and path Commands

The group and path commands in the config>port>sonet-sdh context both use the sonet-sdh-index variable. However, the sonet-sdh-index format for each command is different. The full commands are as follows:

The group command is only available on SONET/SDH adapter cards that support STS-3 channelization (that is, path sts3 or path sts3-1 commands). The payload is tug-index for the STS-3 path. The group command is available with SDH framing when an STS-3 path is configured with a payload of tug3. The payload of the group determines the next path layer.

The path [sonet-sdh-index] command is available on all SONET/SDH adapter cards. The sonet-sdh-index variable is optional for the 4-port OC3/STM1 Clear Channel Adapter card because the card defaults to sts3 and no further channelization is possible.

The 7705 SAR SONET/SDH implementation has options for clear channel OC3 and OC12.

The 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card supports DS3/DS1/E1 channelization (not E3), as well as n ✕ DS0 channelization.

The 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card supports DS1/E1 channelization but not DS3/E3 and not n ✕ DS0 channelization. In addition, DS1/E1 channels cannot be in DS3/E3 channels. To configure clear channel OC3 and clear channel OC12 on this adapter card, use the config card 1 mda slot mda-mode command to configure either 4-port OC3 mode (mda-mode p4-oc3) or 1-port OC12 mode (mda-mode p1-oc12).

Use the following CLI syntax to configure the basic channelized OC3/STM1 parameters:

CLI Syntax:
config# port port-id
sonet-sdh
    framing {sonet|sdh}
    group sonet-sdh-index payload {tu3|vt2|vt15}
    path [sonet-sdh-index]
        payload {sts3|tug3|ds3|e3}
        trace-string [trace-string]
        no shutdown

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring the basic channelized OC3/STM1 parameters.

Example:
config# port 5/2/1
config>port# sonet-sdh
config>port>sonet-sdh# framing sdh
config>port>sonet-sdh# path sts3
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# trace-string "HO-path"
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh# group tug3-1 payload vt2
config>port>sonet-sdh# group tug3-3 payload vt2
config>port>sonet-sdh# path vt2-1.1.1
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# trace-string "LO-path 3.7.3"
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# no shutdown
config>port>sonet-sdh>path# exit
config>port>sonet-sdh#	 exit
config>port# tdm
config>port>tdm# e1 1.1.1
config>port>tdm>e1# channel-group 1
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# timeslots 2-32
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# no shutdown
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# exit
config>port>tdm# e1 3.7.3
config>port>tdm>e1# channel-group 2
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# timeslots 2-32
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# no shutdown
config>port>tdm>e1>channel-group# exit

Use the info command to display configuration information.
