Example: Channelized E1 IQ Interface Configuration

Figure 1: Channelized E1 IQ Interface Example

Channelized E1 IQ Interface
Example

This example shows two ways to configure a channelized E1 IQ interface. Figure 1 shows a fractional E1 method and the NxDS0 method seen previously in the complex OC12 configuration example (see Example: Complex Configuration for a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface). The NxDS0 method breaks the channelized E1 IQ interface into discrete DS0 blocks, whereas the fractional method creates a clear channel E1 that is segmented by time slots.

To configure NxDS0 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces ce1-fpc /pic/port] hierarchy level. Include the timeslots and interface-type ds options to create the desired number of NxDS0 interfaces in time slots 2 through 32.

To configure a fractional E1 on a channelized E1 IQ interface, include the no-partition statement at the [edit interfaces ce1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. After you commit this configuration, configure standard E1 options on the clear channel E1 interface. Include the timeslots statement at the [edit interfaces e1-fpc/pic/port e1-options] hierarchy level. Time slot 1 is reserved; use time slots 2 through 32.

Router A—NxDS0 Method

[edit]interfaces {ce1-1/2/3 {partition 1 timeslots 11 interface-type ds; # Creates NxDS0 channel ds-1/2/3:1.partition 2 timeslots 2-10 interface-type ds; # Creates a channel group with}                            # 9 NxDS0s.ds-1/2/3:1 {unit 0 {family inet {address 10.25.1.2/24;}}}ds-1/2/3:2 {unit 0 {family inet {address 10.25.2.2/24;}}}}

Router A—Fractional E1 Method

[edit]interfaces {ce1-1/2/6 {no-partition interface-type e1; # This creates a single E1 channel: e1-1/2/6.}e1-1/2/6 {e1-options {timeslots 2-3; # This statement enables only 2 of the 31 NxDS0 time slots}         # available on e1-1/2/6. You can use time slots 2 through 32.unit 0 {family inet {address 10.255.126.2/24;}}}}

Verifying Your Work

To verify correct operation of a channelized E1 IQ interface, use the following commands:

  • show interfaces
  • show interfaces controller
  • show interfaces interval (for E1 and channelized E1 channels)

To view the interface names of the physical channelized E1 IQ interface and the resulting interfaces configured on the channelized IQ interface, use the show interfaces controller command:

user@RouterA> show interfaces controller ce1-1/2/3
Controller                                                           Admin Link
ce1-1/2/3                                                             up    up
# This is the physical channelized E1 IQ interface.
     ds-1/2/3:1                                                        up    up
     ds-1/2/3:2                                                        up    up
# These are the resulting  N xDS0 interfaces.
user@RouterA>  show interfaces controller ce1-1/2/6
Controller                                                           Admin Link
ce1-1/2/6                                                            up    up
# This is the physical channelized E1 IQ interface.
e1-1/2/6                                                              up    up 
# This is the resulting E1 interface.

To view information about the physical channelized interface, include the ce1-fpc/pic/port option with the show interfaces command:
