Configuring SONET/SDH HDLC Payload Scrambling

To explicitly enable payload scrambling, perform the following steps:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options] hierarchy level, where the interface-name is so-fpc/pic/port.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options
  2. Configure the payload-scrambler option to enable HDLC payload scrambling.
    [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options]user@host# set payload-scrambler

You disable HDLC payload scrambling:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit interfaces interface-name sonet-options] hierarchy level, where the interface-name is so-fpc/pic/port.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options
  2. Configure the no-payload-scrambler option to disable HDLC payload scrambling.
    [edit interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options]user@host# set no-payload-scrambler

To re-enable payload scrambling and to return to default setting.

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit] hierarchy level.
    user@host# edit
  2. To return to the default setting, delete the no-payload-scrambler statement from the configuration.
    [edit]user@host# delete interfaces so-fpc/pic/port sonet-options no-payload-scrambler

On a channelized OC12 interface, the sonet-options payload-scrambler statement is ignored. To configure scrambling on the DS3 channels on the interface, include the t3-options payload-scrambler statement in the configuration for each DS3 channel.
