Microwave Link Commands

port

Syntax

[no] port mw-link-id

Context

config

Description

This command configure a microwave link on a 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18.

The no form of this command removes the microwave link configuration.

Parameters

mw-link-id

specifies the microwave link ID number, using the form mw-link-id

Values

id = 1 to 24

mw

Syntax

mw

Context

config>port

Description

This command enables the context to configure microwave link parameters.

hold-time

Syntax

[no] hold-time {[up hold-time-up] [down hold-time-down]}

Context

config>port>mw

Description

This command configures dampening timers on a microwave link. Dampening timers guard against excessive link transitions reported to upper layer protocols.

The no form of this command removes the dampening timers configuration.

Default

down 0 or up 0 — no microwave link dampening is enabled; link transitions are immediately reported to upper layer protocols

Parameters

hold-time-up

the number of seconds before an up-state to down-state transition is reported to upper layer protocols

Values

0 to 900 s

hold-time-down

the number of seconds before a down-state to up-state transition is reported to upper layer protocols

Values

0 to 900 s

peer-discovery

Syntax

[no] peer-discovery

Context

config>port>mw

Description

This command enables or disables peer discovery on the microwave link.

Peer discovery is used to discover the IP addresses of remote routers over the microwave link, as well as the physical ports of the remote routers corresponding to the primary radios for the microwave link.

Ports with peer discovery disabled do not send peer discovery packets and ignore any received peer discovery packets. The CLI does not display the IP address of peers when peer discovery is disabled.

protection

Syntax

[no] protection

Context

config>port>mw

Description

This command enables protection switching on a microwave link.

The no form of this command removes the protection switching on a microwave link.

radio

Syntax

radio port-id create [main | spare]

no radio port-id

Context

config>port>mw

Description

This command configures an MPR-e radio for a microwave link.

The no form of this command removes an MPR-e spare radio from the specified port

Note:

You cannot remove an MPR-e main radio that is associated with a microwave link. The microwave link must be deleted and then re-configured with the desired MPR-e radio.

Parameters

port-id

specifies a port on a Packet Microwave Adapter card on which an MPR-e radio is configured, in the format slot/mda/port (port = 1 through 4)

Note:

  • The port must have an encap-type of dot1q and it cannot be used by any service or interface.

  • Only a main radio can be configured on an odd-numbered port, that is, port 1 or 3.

create

creates the MPR-e radio (mandatory)

main

sets the MPR-e radio as the main (active) radio

spare

sets the MPR-e radio as the spare (standby) radio

database

Syntax

database filename

no database

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command configures the filename of the MPR-e radio database.

The no form of this command removes the MPR-e radio database configuration.

Default

n/a

Parameters

filename

specifies the name of the MPR-e radio database

Values

up to 32 characters

name

Syntax

name name-string

no name

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command specifies a name to be associated with an MPR-e radio.

The no form of this command removes the name configured for the MPR-e radio.

Default

n/a

Parameters

name-string

specifies the MPR-e radio name

Values

up to 32 characters

perfmon

Syntax

perfmon [g826] [power] [acm]

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command enables MWA performance monitoring on microwave links in order to collect G.826, radio power, and Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) level performance statistics.

The no form of this command disables MWA performance monitoring on microwave links.

Default

no perfmon

Parameters

g826

enables performance monitoring for G.826 statistics (BBE, ES, SES, and UAS)

power

enables performance monitoring for radio power statistics

acm

enables performance monitoring for ACM level statistics

rsl-history

Syntax

rsl-history file-url

no rsl-history

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command enables the RSL history file for an MPR-e radio to be uploaded to the 7705 SAR.

The no form of this command removes the configuration.

Default

no rsl-history

Parameters

file-url

specifies the URL of the RSL history file for the specified radio

Values

local-url:      [cflash-id/][file-path]; 99 characters maximum

standalone

Syntax

[no] standalone

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command configures the MPR-e radio to operate in standalone mode.

The no form of this command removes the standalone designation and sets the MPR-e radio in MWA mode.

Default

no standalone

suppress-faults

Syntax

suppress-faults [hber] [rsl-threshold] [rdi] [all]

[no] suppress-faults

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command suppresses detected faults on microwave links. If microwave link faults are detected, an event is logged and the link is disabled. When faults are suppressed, the event is still logged, but the microwave link is not disabled. By default, the system does not suppress faults for FFD.

The no form of this command removes fault suppression.

Default

no suppress-faults

Parameters

hber

suppresses High Bit Error Rate faults

rsl-threshold

suppresses RSL threshold crossing faults

rdi

suppresses RDI faults

all

suppresses all faults

tx-mute

Syntax

[no] tx-mute

Context

config>port>mw>radio

Description

This command mutes the transmitter on the radio MPR-e radio.

The no form of this command disables the mute configuration.

revert

Syntax

[no] revert [eps] [rps]

Context

config>port>mw

Description

This command configures the type of revertive switching on the microwave link. Revertive switching occurs when the MPR-e radio operation switches from the spare radio back to the main radio after a fault condition is cleared.

The no form of this command removes the revertive switching configuration.

Default

n/a

Parameters

eps

sets Equipment Protection Switching as the revertive switching type

Note:

If EPS is configured as the revertive switching type, Transmission Protection Switching (TPS) is automatically applied as well; TPS cannot be enabled independently.

rps

sets Radio Protection Switching as the revertive switching type
