Configuring a Clear Channel on Channelized OC3 IQ and IQE PICs
A clear channel is an interface that uses the entire bandwidth of the PIC. To configure a clear channel, include the no-partition and interface-type statements in the configuration.
On Channelized OC3 IQ and IQE PICs, you can configure one OC3 clear-channel interface per port. To configure an OC3 interface, include the no-partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces coc3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level:
This configuration creates interface so-fpc/pic/port. When you include the no-partition statement at the [edit interfaces coc3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, the only configurable interface type is so, because the no-partition statement signals that you are creating a clear-channel SONET/SDH interface.
On a 2-port or 4–port Channelized OC3 IQE PIC, you can configure two to four separate OC3 clear-channel interfaces by additionally specifying the port numbers. Configuration is otherwise the same as previously described on a (1-port) Channelized OC3 IQ PIC.
