Configuring OTN Interfaces on P1-PTX-24-10G-W-SFPP PIC

Starting from Junos OS Release 14.2, a 24–port 10-Gigabit Ethernet OTN PIC—P1-PTX-24-10G-W-SFPP—is supported on the FPC-PTX-P1-A and FPC2-PTX-P1A FPCs in PTX5000 routers, and the FPC-SFF-PTX-P1-A and FPC-SFF-PTX-T FPCsin PTX3000 routers. To configure an OTN interface on the P1-PTX-24-10G-W-SFPP PIC, you must configure interface-specific options and the OTN-related options for the interface.

To configure the interface-specific options:

  1. Go to the [edit interface interface-name] hierarchy level, where interface-name is in the et-fpc/pic/port format.
  2. Configure the VLAN tagging option on the OTN interface to enable the reception and transmission of 802.1Q VLAN-tagged frames on the interface.
  3. Configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size in bytes for the interface.
  4. Configure a VLAN ID for the interface.
  5. Configure the family for the interface.
  6. Configure an IP address for the interface.

To configure the OTN-related options on the interface:

  1. Go to the [edit interface interface-name otn-options] hierarchy level:

  2. Enable the OTN mode as OTU2e, OTU1e, or OTU2 for the interface.

    Note:

    fixed-stuff-bytes is for OTU2e rate, no-fixed-stuff-bytes is for OTU1e rate and oc192 is for OTU2 rate. OTU2e and OTU1e rates are applicable for LAN PHY framing mode. OTU2 is applicable for WAN PHY framing mode. Framing mode is to set through the set interfaces framing configuration statement.

  3. Enable the laser on the OTN interface. The laser is disabled by default for all OTN interfaces.

  4. Set an trail trace identifier for the source access point and for the destination access point for ODU and OTU on the OTN interface.

  5. Ignore the trigger for the defect or set the hold time.

    Configure the hold time for the defect trigger as:

    • up with a value—Wait for the hold time delay before clearing the alarm when the defect is absent on the OTN interface.

    • down with a value—Wait for the hold time delay before raising the alarm when the defect occurs for the OTN interface.

  6. Enable the threshold crossing alarms for the OTN interface along with the trigger for the defect.

  7. Set the OTN header bytes as a transmit payload type from 0 bytes through 255 bytes for the packets that are transmitted on the OTN interface.

  8. Configure the forward error correction (FEC) mode as Generic Forward Error Correction (GFEC), Enhanced Forward Error Correction (EFEC), Ultra Forward Error Correction (UFEC), or no-FEC (none) for the OTN interface.

  9. Enable a consequent action as listed in the ITU-T G.798 standard for ODU trail trace identifier mismatch (TTIM) on the OTN interface.

  10. Enable a consequent action as listed in the ITU-T G.798 standard for OTU trail trace identifier mismatch (TTIM) on the OTN interface.

  11. Configure the threshold value for signal degradation when an alarm needs to be raised. Configure the threshold value after signal degradation when the alarm needs to be cleared. When you configure the interval along with the ber-threshold-signal-degrade value statement, the bit error rate (BER) must stay above the signal degradation threshold for the configured interval after which the alarm is raised. When the interval is configured along with the ber-threshold-clear value statement, then BER must stay below the clear threshold for the configured interval after which the alarm is cleared.

  12. Enable the following actions for the preemptive-fast-reroute statement:

    • Backward FRR—Insert the local pre-FEC status into the transmitted OTN frames and monitor the received OTN frames for the pre-FEC status.

    • Monitoring of signal degradation of pre-FEC OTN frames.

Configuring OTN Interfaces on P1-PTX-2-100G-WDM

PTX Series routers support optical transport network (OTN) interfaces, including the 100-Gigabit DWDM OTN PIC (P1-PTX-2-100G-WDM). See 100-Gigabit Ethernet OTN Options Configuration Overview.

To configure the 100-Gigabit DWDM OTN PIC:

  1. Configure the interface wavelength.

    See wavelength.

    Note:

    See 100-Gigabit DWDM OTN PIC Integrated Transceiver Optical Interface Specifications for a list of wavelengths supported by the P1-PTX-2-100G-WDM PIC.

  2. Enable the laser.
  3. (Optional) Set the tca.

    See tca.

  4. (Optional) Set the trace identifiers.

    See tti.

  5. (Optional) Specify defect triggers.

    See trigger.

  6. (Optional) Enable VLAN tagging. See Enabling VLAN Tagging.
  7. (Optional) Set the media MTU. See Configuring the Media MTU.
  8. (Optional) Set the unit VLAN ID, family inet, and IP address.
  9. (Optional) Enable pre-FEC BER signal-degrade monitoring and backward fast reroute to monitor the pre-FEC BER status of the link and to insert the local pre-FEC status into transmitted OTN frames.

    See signal-degrade-monitor-enable and backward-frr-enable.

  10. (Optional) Configure the bit error rate (BER) thresholds for signal degradation used for monitoring the pre-forward error correction (pre-FEC) status of the OTN link.
    1. Set the BER signal-degrade threshold.
    2. Set the BER threshold to clear signal-degrade alarms.
    3. Set the time interval for signal-degrade collection. After the BER threshold for signal-degrade is crossed for ten consecutive intervals, an alarm is raised. If the BER threshold for signal-degrade clear is crossed for ten consecutive intervals, the alarm is cleared. For example, if the interval is configured as 10 ms, then the BER must stay above the signal degradation threshold for 100 ms (10 ms * 10 intervals) for the alarm to be raised, or below the clear threshold for 100 ms for the alarm to be cleared.
      Note:

      Configuring a high BER threshold for signal degradation and a long interval might cause the internal counter register to be saturated. Such a configuration is ignored by the router, and the default values are used instead. A system log message is logged for this error.

      See ber-threshold-signal-degrade, ber-threshold-clear, and interval.

    Note:

    See Understanding Pre-FEC BER Monitoring and BER Thresholds for more information about pre-FEC BER monitoring and determining BER threshold settings.

  14. Configure the threshold value for signal degradation when an alarm needs to be raised. Configure the threshold value after signal degradation when the alarm needs to be cleared. When you configure the interval along with the ber-threshold-signal-degrade value statement, the bit error rate (BER) must stay above the signal degradation threshold for the configured interval after which the alarm is raised. When the interval is configured along with the ber-threshold-clear value statement, then BER must stay below the clear threshold for the configured interval after which the alarm is cleared.
