System Management
 
Saving Configurations
Whenever configuration changes are made, the modified configuration must be saved so the changes will not be lost when the system is rebooted. The system uses the configuration and image files, as well as other operational parameters necessary for system initialization, according to the locations specified in the boot option file (BOF) parameters. For more information about boot option files, refer to the Boot Option Files section of this manual.
Configuration files are saved by executing implicit or explicit command syntax.
•
An explicit save writes the configuration to the location specified in the save command syntax (the file-url option).
•
An implicit save writes the configuration to the file specified in the primary configuration location.
If the file-url option is not specified in the save command syntax, the system attempts to save the current configuration to the current BOF primary configuration source. If the primary configuration source (path and/or filename) changed since the last boot, the new configuration source is used.
The save command includes an option to save both default and non-default configuration parameters (the detail option).
The index option specifies that the system preserves system indexes when a save command is executed, regardless of the persistent status in the BOF file. During a subsequent boot, the index file is read along with the configuration file. As a result, a number of system indexes are preserved between reboots, including the interface index, LSP IDs, path IDs, etc. This reduces resynchronizations of the Network Management System (NMS) with the affected network element.
If the save attempt fails at the destination, an error occurs and is logged. The system does not try to save the file to the secondary or tertiary configuration sources unless the path and filename are explicitly named with the save command.

System Information
This section covers the basic system information parameters to configure the physical location of the SR-Series, contact information, location information such as the place the router is located such as an address, floor, room number, etc., global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, and system name.
Use the CLI syntax displayed below to configure the following system components:
•
System Information Parameters
•
System Time Elements
General system parameters include:
•
Name
•
Contact
•
Location
•
CLLI Code
•
Coordinates
System Information Parameters
 
Name
Use the system command to configure a name for the device. The name is used in the prompt string. Only one system name can be configured, if multiple system names are configured the last one encountered overwrites the previous entry. Use the following CLI syntax to configure the system name:
CLI Syntax: config>system
name system-name
Example: alcatel>config>system# name ALA-12
The following example displays the system name:
sysName@domain>config>system# info
#------------------------------------------
echo "System Configuration "
#------------------------------------------
        name "ALA-12"
. . .
        exit
----------------------------------------------
sysName@domain>config>system#
 
Contact
Use the contact command to specify the name of a system administrator, IT staff member, or other administrative entity.
CLI Syntax: config>system
contact contact-name
Example: config>system# contact “Fred Information Technology”
 
Location
Use the location command to specify the system location of the device. For example, enter the city, building address, floor, room number, etc., where the router is located.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure the location:
CLI Syntax: config>system
location location
Example: config>system# location “Bldg.1-floor 2-Room 201”
 
CLLI Code
The Common Language Location Code (CLLI code) is an 11-character standardized geographic identifier that is used to uniquely identify the geographic location of a 7750 SR-Series router.
Use the following CLI command syntax to define the CLLI code:
CLI Syntax: config>system
clli-code clli-code
Example: config>system# clli-code abcdefg1234
 
Coordinates
Use the optional coordinates command to specify the GPS location of the device. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure the location:
CLI Syntax: config>system
coordinates coordinates
Example: config>system# coordinates "N 45 58 23, W 34 56 12"
 
The following example displays the configuration output of the general system commands:
output
sysName@domain>config>system# info
#------------------------------------------
echo "System Configuration "
#------------------------------------------
	name "ALA-12"
        contact "Fred Information Technology"
        location "Bldg.1-floor 2-Room 201"
        clli-code "abcdefg1234"
        coordinates "N 45 58 23, W 34 56 12"
 
. . .
        exit
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system#
 
System Time Elements
The system clock maintains time according to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Configure information time zone and summer time (daylight savings time) parameters to correctly display time according to the local time zone.
Time elements include:
•
Zone
•
Summer Time Conditions
•
NTP
•
SNTP
•
CRON

Zone
The zone command sets the time zone and/or time zone offset for the router. The router supports system-defined and user-defined time zones. The system-defined time zones are listed in Table 24.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time
zone std-zone-name|non-std-zone-name [hh [:mm]]
Example: config>system>time#
config>system>time# zone GMT
The following example displays the zone output:
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
		ntp
                server 192.168.15.221

Summer Time Conditions
The config>system>time>dst-zone context configures the start and end dates and offset for summer time or daylight savings time to override system defaults or for user defined time zones.
When configured, the time will be adjusted by adding the configured offset when summer time starts and subtracting the configured offset when summer time ends.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time
dst-zone zone-name
end {end-week} {end-day} {end-month} [hours-minutes]
offset offset
start {start-week} {start-day} {start-month} [hours-minutes]
 
Example: config>system# time
 config>system>time# dst-zone pt
 config>system>time>dst-zone# start second sunday april 02:00
end first sunday october 02:00
config>system>time>dst-zone# offset 0
If the time zone configured is listed in Table 24, then the starting and ending parameters and offset do not need to be configured with this command unless there is a need to override the system defaults. The command will return an error if the start and ending dates and times are not available either in Table 24 or entered as optional parameters in this command.
The following example displays the configured parameters.
A:ALA-48>config>system>time>dst-zone# info 
----------------------------------------------
                start second sunday april 02:00
                end first sunday october 02:00
                offset 0
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-48>config>system>time>dst-zone# offset 0
 
NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is defined in RFC 1305, Network Time Protocol (Version 3) Specification, Implementation and Analysis. It allows for participating network nodes to keep time more accurately and maintain time in a synchronized manner between all participating network nodes.
NTP time elements include:
•
Authentication-check
•
Authentication-key
•
Broadcast
•
Broadcastclient
•
Multicast
•
Multicastclient
•
NTP-Server
•
Peer
•
Server
 
Authentication-check
The authentication-check command provides for the option to skip the rejection of NTP PDUs that do not match the authentication key or authentication type requirements. The default behavior when authentication is configured is to reject all NTP protocol PDUs that have a mismatch in either the authentication key-id, type, or key.
When authentication-check is configured, NTP PDUs are authenticated on receipt. However, mismatches cause a counter to be increased, one counter for key-id, one for type, and one for key value mismatches.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
authentication-check
 
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# authentication-check
 config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
 
Authentication-key
This command configures an authentication key-id, key type, and key used to authenticate NTP PDUs sent to and received from other network elements participating in the NTP protocol. For authentication to work, the authentication key-id, authentication type and authentication key value must match.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
authentication-key key-id {key key} [hash | hash2] type
{des|message-digest}
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# authentication-key 1 key A type des
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP disabled with the authentication-key parameter enabled.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
----------------------------------------------
                shutdown
                authentication-key 1 key "OAwgNUlbzgI" hash2 type des 
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp#
 
Broadcast
The broadcast command is used to transmit broadcast packets on a given subnet.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
broadcast [router router-name] {interface
ip-int-name> [key-id key-id] [version version]
[ttlttl]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# broadcast interface int11 version 4
ttl 127
 config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example in the system>time context shows NTP enabled with the broadcast command configured.
A:sim1>config>system>time# info detail
----------------------------------------------
            ntp
                no shutdown
                authentication-check
                ntp-server
                broadcast interface int11 version 4 ttl 127
            exit
A:sim1>config>system>time#
The following example in the config context shows NTP enabled with the broadcast command configured. At this level, the NTP broadcast commands are displayed at the end of the output after the router interfaces are shown.
A:sim1>config info
 
    ....
 
#--------------------------------------------------
echo "System Time NTP Configuration"
#--------------------------------------------------
    system
        time
            ntp
                broadcast interface toboth
            exit
        exit
    exit
A:sim1>config
 
Broadcastclient
The broadcastclient command enables listening to NTP broadcast messages on the specified interface.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
broadcastclient[router router-name] {interface ip-int-name} [authenticate]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# broadcastclient interface int11
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the broadcastclient parameter enabled.
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
            ntp
                broadcastclient interface int11
                no shutdown
            exit
            dst-zone PT
                start second sunday april 02:00
                end first sunday october 02:00
                offset 0
            exit
            zone UTC
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>time#
 
Multicast
When configuring NTP the node can be configured to transmit or receive multicast packets on the CPM MGMT port. Broadcast & Multicast messages can easily be spoofed, therefore, authentication is strongly recommended. Multicast is used to configure the transmission of NTP multicast messages. The no construct of this command removes the transmission of multicast address from the configuration.
When transmitting multicast NTP messages the default address of 224.0.1.1 is used.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
multicast[version version] [key-id key-id]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# multicast
 config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the multicast command configured.
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
              server 192.168.15.221 
              multicast
              no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>time#
 
Multicastclient
This command is used to configure an address to receive multicast NTP messages on the CPM MGMT port. The no construct of this command removes the multicast client.
If multicastclient is not configured, all NTP multicast traffic will be ignored.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
multicastclient [authenticate]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# multicastclient authenticate
 config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the multicastclient command configured.
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
              server 192.168.15.221 
              multicastclient
              no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>time##
NTP-Server
This command configures the node to assume the role of an NTP server. Unless the server command is used this node will function as an NTP client only and will not distribute the time to downstream network elements. If an authentication key-id is specified in this command, the NTP server requires client packets to be authenticated.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
ntp-server [transmit key-id]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# ntp-server transmit 1
 config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the ntp-server command configured.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
----------------------------------------------
        no shutdown
        ntp-server
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp#
 
Peer
Configuration of an NTP peer configures symmetric active mode for the configured peer. Although any system can be configured to peer with any other NTP node, it is recommended to configure authentication and to configure known time servers as their peers. Use the no form of the command to remove the configured peer.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
peer ip-address [version version] [key-id key-id]
[prefer]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# peer 192.168.1.1 key-id 1
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the peer command configured.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
----------------------------------------------
            no shutdown
            peer 192.168.1.1 key-id 1 
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp#
 
Server
The Server command is used when the node should operate in client mode with the NTP server specified in the address field. Use the no form of this command to remove the server with the specified address from the configuration.
Up to ten NTP servers can be configured.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>ntp
server ip-address [key-id key-id] [version version] [prefer]
Example: config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# server 192.168.1.1 key-id 1
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the server command configured.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
----------------------------------------------
            no shutdown
            server 192.168.1.1 key 1 
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp#
 
SNTP
SNTP is a compact, client-only version of the NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from SNTP/NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. SNTP can be configured in either broadcast or unicast client mode.
SNTP time elements include:
•
Broadcast-client
•
Server-address
 
CLI Syntax: config>system
time
sntp
broadcast-client
server-address ip-address [version version-number] [normal|preferred] [interval seconds]
no shutdown
 
Broadcast-client
The broadcast-client command enables listening at the global device level to SNTP broadcast messages on interfaces with broadcast client enabled.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>sntp
broadcast-client
Example: config>system>time>sntp#
config>system>time>sntp# broadcast-client
config>system>time>sntp# no shutdown
The following example shows SNTP enabled with the broadcast-client command enabled.
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
            sntp
                broadcast-client
                no shutdown
            exit
            dst-zone PT
                start second sunday april 02:00
                end first sunday october 02:00
                offset 0
            exit
            zone GMT
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>time#
Server-address
The server-address command configures an SNTP server for SNTP unicast client mode.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>sntp#
config>system>time>sntp# server-address ip-address version version-number] [normal|preferred] [interval seconds]
Example: config>system>time>sntp#
 config>system>time# server-address 10.10.0.94 version
 1 preferred interval 100
The following example shows SNTP enabled with the server-address command configured.
A:ALA-12>config>system>time# info
----------------------------------------------
            sntp
                server-address 10.10.0.94 version 1 preferred interval 100
                no shutdown
            exit
            dst-zone PT start-date 2006/04/04 12:00 end-date 2006/10/25 12:00
            zone GMT
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>time#
 
CRON
The CRON command supports the Service Assurance Agent (SAA) functions as well as the ability to schedule turning on and off policies to meet “Time of Day” requirements. CRON functionality includes the ability to specify the commands that need to be run, when they will be scheduled, including one-time only functionality (oneshot), interval and calendar functions, as well as where to store the output of the results. In addition, CRON can specify the relationship between input, output and schedule. Scheduled reboots, peer turn ups, service assurance agent tests and more can all be scheduled with Cron, as well as OAM events, such as connectivity checks, or troubleshooting runs.
CRON elements include:
•
Action
•
Schedule
•
Script
•
Time Range
•
Time of Day
 
Action
Parameters for a script including the maximum amount of time to keep the results from a script run, the maximum amount of time a script may run, the maximum number of script runs to store and the location to store the results.
CLI Syntax: config>cron
action action-name [owner action-owner]
expire-time {seconds|forever}
lifetime {seconds|forever}
max-completed unsigned
results file-url
script script-name [owner script-owner]
shutdown
Example: config>cron# action test
 config>cron>action# results ftp://172.22.184.249/./sim1/test-results
config>cron>action# no shut
The following example shows a script named “test” receiving an action to store its results in a file called “test-results”:
A:sim1>config>cron# info
----------------------------------------------
        script "test"
            location "ftp://172.22.184.249/./sim1/test.cfg"
            no shutdown 
        exit
        action "test"
            results "ftp://172.22.184.249/./sim1/test-results"
            no shutdown 
        exit
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>cron# script
 
Schedule
The schedule function configures the type of schedule to run, including one-time only (oneshot), periodic or calendar-based runs. All runs are determined by month, day of month or weekday, hour, minute and interval (seconds). If end-time and interval are both configured, whichever condition is reached first is applied.
CLI Syntax: config>cron
schedule schedule-name [owner schedule-owner]
action action-name [owner owner-name]
count number
day-of-month {day-number [..day-number]|all}
description description-string
end-time [date|day-name] time
hour {hour-number [..hour-number] | all}
interval seconds
minute {minute-number [..minute-number]|all}
month {month-number [..month-number]|month-name
[..month-name]|all}
no shutdown
type {periodic|calendar|oneshot}
weekday {weekday-number [..weekday-number]|day-name
[..day-name]|all}
shutdown
Example: config>cron# schedule test2
 config>cron>sched# day-of-month 17
config>cron>sched# end-time 2007/07/17 12:00
config>cron>sched# minute 0 15 30 45
config>cron>sched# weekday friday
config>cron>sched# shut

The following example schedules a script named “test2” to run every 15 minutes on the 17th of each month and every Friday until noon on July 17, 2007:
*A:SR-3>config>cron# info 
----------------------------------------------
        schedule "test2"
            shutdown
            day-of-month 17           
            minute 0 15 30 45
            weekday friday 
            end-time 2007/07/17 12:00
        exit
----------------------------------------------
*A:SR-3>config>cron#
 
Script
The script command opens a new nodal context which contains information on a script.
CLI Syntax: config>cron
script script-name [owner script-owner]
description description-string
location file-url
shutdown
 
Example: config>cron# script test

Time Range
7750 SR ACLs and QoS policy configurations may be enhanced to support time based matching. CRON configuration includes time matching with the 'schedule' sub-command. Schedules are based on events; time-range defines an end-time and will be used as a match criteria.
Time range elements include:
•
Create
•
Absolute
•
Daily
•
Weekdays
•
Weekend
•
Weekly
 
Create
Use this command to enable the time-range context.
The following example creates a time-range called test1.
CLI Syntax: config>cron>
time-range name create
Example: config>cron# time-range test1 create
 config>cron>time-range$
 
Absolute
The absolute command configures a start and end time that will not repeat.
CLI Syntax: config>cron>time-range$
absolute absolute-time end absolute-time
Example: config>cron>time-range$ absolute start 2006/05/05,11:00 end
2006/05/06,11:01
 config>cron>time-range$
 
 
The following example shows an absolute time range beginning on May 5, 2006 at 11:00 and ending May 6, 2006 at 11:01:
A:sim1>config>cron>time-range# show cron time-range detail

Daily
The daily command configures the start and end of a periodic schedule for every day of the week (Sunday through Saturday).
CLI Syntax: config>cron>time-range$
daily start time-of-day end time-of-day
Example: config>cron>time-range$ daily start 11:00 end 12:00
config>cron>time-range$
The following example shows a daily time range beginning at 11:00 and ending at 12:00.

Weekdays
The weekdays command configures the start and end of a periodic schedule for weekdays (Monday through Friday).
CLI Syntax: config>cron>time-range$
weekdays start time-of-day end time-of-day
Example: config>cron>time-range$ weekdays start 11:00 end 12:00
config>cron>time-range$
The following command shows a time range beginning at 11:00 and ending at 12:00. This schedule runs all weekdays during this time period.

A:sim1>config>cron>time-range#
 
Weekend
The weekend command configures the start and end of a periodic schedule for weekends (Saturday and Sunday). The resolution must be at least one minute apart, for example, start at 11:00 and end at 11:01. A start time and end time of 11:00 is invalid.
CLI Syntax: config>cron>time-range$
weekend start time-of-day end time-of-day
Example: config>cron>time-range$ weekend start 11:00 end 12:00
config>cron>time-range$
The following command shows a weekend time range beginning at 11:00am and ending at 12:00pm, both Saturday and Sunday.
To specify 11:00am to 12:00pm on Saturday or Sunday only, use the Absolute parameter for one day, or the Weekly parameter for every Saturday or Sunday accordingly. In addition, see the Schedule parameter to schedule oneshot or periodic events in the config>cron> context.

Weekly
The weekly command configures the start and end of a periodic schedule for the same day every week, for example, every Friday. The start and end dates must be the same. The resolution must be at least one minute apart, for example, start at 11:00 and end at 11:01. A start time and end time of 11:00 is invalid.
CLI Syntax: config>cron>time-range$
weekly start time-in-week end time-in-week
Example: config>cron>time-range$ start fri,01:01 end fri,01:02
config>cron>time-range$
The following command shows a weekly time range beginning on Friday at 1:01am ending Friday at 1:02am.

Time of Day
Time of Day (TOD) suites are useful when configuring many types of time-based policies or when a large number of subscribers or SAPs require the same type of TOD changes. The TOD suite may be configured while using specific ingress or egress ACLs or QoS policies, and is an enhancement of the ingress and egress CLI trees.
 
SAPs
•
If a TOD Suite is assigned to a SAP, statistics collection are not collected for that SAP and scheduler overrides cannot be collected on the SAP. If the SAP has an egress aggregate rate limit configured, an egress scheduler policy assignment cannot be applied
•
When an item is configured both on SAP level and in the TOD suite assigned to the SAP, the TOD-suite defined value takes precedence. If a SAP belongs to an IES Interface, TOD Suites are allowed only with generic interfaces (no subscriber, group, redundant, etc.).
•
A policy or filter assignment configured directly on a SAP has a lower priority than any assignment in a TOD Suite. Hence, it is possible that a new direct configuration has no immediate effect. If the configuration is made by CLI, a warning is given.
 
Multiservice Site
When applying a TOD Suite to a multi-service-site, only the scheduler policy assignment is active. If the multi-service-site has an egress aggregate rate limit configured, any egress scheduler policy assignment cannot be applied. While a TOD Suite is assigned to a multi-service-site, it is not possible to configure a scheduler to override it.
 
ANCP (Access Node Control Protocol)
Static ANCP string mapping and TOD suites must be configured on separate SAPs or multiservice sites.
Time of day elements include:
•
Egress
•
Ingress
 
Egress
This command is an enhancement for specific egress policies including filter lists, schedulers and QoS. Use this command to create time-range based associations of previously created filter lists, QoS and scheduler policies. Multiple policies may be included and each must be assigned a different priority; in case time-ranges overlap, the priority will be used to determine the prevailing policy. Only a single reference to a policy may be included without a time-range.
 
Egress Aggregate Rate Limit
Having an egress aggregate rate limit is incompatible with having a scheduler policy. If a SAP or multi-service-site has a configured egress aggregate rate limit, and the TOD suite assigns a scheduler policy to it, that assignment cannot be applied: the configured aggregate rate limit takes precedence over the TOD suite's scheduler policy assignment.
 
Egress Multicast Group
SAPs may not have a TOD suite while belonging to an egress multicast group (EMG). Since all SAPs that belong to the same EMG must have the same egress filter, it is imperative to ensure that the TOD Suite does not modify the egress filter assignment.
 
Filters
In a TOD suite, filters that have entries with time-ranges may not be selected. Similarly, filter entries with a time-range may not be created while a TOD suite refers to that filter. QoS policies and filters referred to by a TOD suite must have scope “template” (default).
The following syntax is used to configure TOD-suite egress parameters.
CLI Syntax: config
cron
tod-suite tod-suite-name create
egress
filter ip ip-filter-id [time-range time-range-name]
[priority priority]
filter ipv6 ipv6-filter-id[time-range
time-range-name] [priority priority]
filter mac mac-filter-id[time-range time-range-name] [priority priority]
qos policy-id [time-range time-range-name] [priority priority]
scheduler-policy scheduler-policy-name [time-range time-range-name]
Example: config>cron>tod-suite$ egress filter ip 100
config>cron>tod-suite$
The following command shows an egress IP filter association with filter ID 100.
sim1>config>filter# ip-filter 100 create
A:sim1>config>filter>ip-filter$ entry 10 create

Ingress
This command is an enhancement for specific ingress policies including filter lists, schedulers and QoS policies. Use this command to create time-range based associations of previously created filter lists QoS and scheduler policies. Multiple policies may be included and each must be assigned a different priority; in case time-ranges overlap, the priority will be used to determine the prevailing policy. Only a single reference to a policy may be included without a time-range. To configure a daily time-range across midnight, use a combination of two entries. An entry that starts at hour zero will take over from an entry that ends at hour 24.
CLI Syntax: config>system
cron
tod-suite tod-suite-name create

ANCP Enhancements
Persistency is available for subscriber’s ANCP attributes and is stored on the on-board compact flash card. ANCP data will stay persistence during an ISSU as well as nodal reboots. During recovery, ANCP attributes are first restored fully from the persistence file, and incoming ANCP sessions are temporarily on hold. Afterwards, new ANCP data can overwrite any existing values. This new data is then stored into the compact flash in preparation for the next event.

Configuring Mixed Mode
The 7450 mixed mode feature allows a 7450 ESS-7 or ESS-12 chassis to utilize 7750 IOM3-XPs, MDAs, and IMMs to enable 7750 SR capabilities on the associated slots. This allows features such as multicast routing, VPRN and IPv6 support as well as others to be enabled on existing 7450 systems.
The following are mixed-mode requirements:
•
SR capabilities (for example, IP-VPNs, IPv6 routing and multicast routing) can only be associated with interfaces on 7750 IOM3-XPs, MDAs, and IMMs
•
Network interface ports must be located 7750 IOM3-XPs or IMMs
•
Only 7750 IOM3-XPs, 7750 MDAs, or 7750 IMMs can be used in 7450 slots with SR capabilities enabled.
Notes:
•
The 7x50 SR supports mixed mode, specifically to run IPv6 services in a router that also contains IOM-20G-Bs (chassis mode A).
•
ESM for IPv6 must run on IOM-3 or IMM hardware only, not on IOM or IOM-2, because the IOM and IOM2 data planes are not capable of routing incoming traffic to the IPv6 ESM hosts.
•
The scaling limits are still defined by the chassis mode. That means only 16k IPv6 ESM subscribers (limited by the ARP scale of chassis mode A).
 
Enabling Mixed Mode on a 7450 System
To configure mixed mode support, 7750 IOM3-XPs, 7750 MDAs, or 7750 IMMs must be installed in a 7450 ESS-7 or ESS-12 router that is running OS 8.0 or later. All network interfaces must be migrated to ports on the 7750 cards.
The mixed mode state is then enabled by using the mixed-mode-upgrade command:
CLI Syntax: mixed-mode-upgrade slot-list
This tool will take a list of slots that should have 7750 cards installed. The command then checks to ensure that all network interfaces are located on ports on these slots and that they are all 7750 cards. It then enables the mixed-mode state at the system level and changes the capability setting for the specified slots to sr.
At this point the 7450 system is operating in a mixed mode state and supported features and services can now be configured on the slots with SR capabilities enabled.
Once in mixed mode use the capability command to configure slots for SR capabilities:
CLI Syntax: config>card>capability sr|ess
Slots using 7750-capable cards will have to have SR capability enabled on all slots with 7750 IOM3s and IMMs, as well as mixed-mode at the system level.
See Table 25 for a description of mixed-mode support.

Configuring Backup Copies
The config-backup command allows you to specify the maximum number of backup versions of configuration and index files kept in the primary location.
For example, assume the config-backup count is set to 5 and the configuration file is called xyz.cfg. When a save command is executed, the file xyz.cfg is saved with a .1 extension. Each subsequent config-backup command increments the numeric extension until the maximum count is reached. The oldest file (5) is deleted as more recent files are saved.
xyz.cfg
xyz.cfg.1
xyz.cfg.2
xyz.cfg.3
xyz.cfg.4
xyz.cfg.5
xyz.ndx
Each persistent index file is updated at the same time as the associated configuration file. When the index file is updated, then the save is performed to xyz .cfg and the index file is created as xyz.ndx. Synchronization between the active and standby SF/CPM is performed for all configurations and their associated persistent index files.
CLI Syntax: config>system
config-backup count
Example: config>system#
 config>system# config-backup 7
The following example shows the config-backup configuration.

If synchronization fails, the standby does not reboot automatically. The show redundancy synchronization command displays synchronization output information.
 
Post-Boot Configuration Extension Files
Two post-boot configuration extension files are supported and are triggered when either a successful or failed boot configuration file is processed. The commands specify URLs for the CLI scripts to be run following the completion of the boot-up configuration. A URL must be specified or no action is taken. The commands are persistent between router (re)boots and are included in the configuration saves (admin>save).

System Timing
When synchronous Ethernet is enabled, the operator can select an Ethernet port as a candidate for timing reference. The timing information recovered from this port is used by the central clock.
Note: In the current release the derived timing is distributed only through other Ethernet ports. 
CLI Syntax:
	config>system>sync-if-timing
			abort
			begin
			commit
			ref-order ref1 ref2
			ref1
				source-port port-id 
				no shutdown
			ref2
				source-port port-id 
				no shutdown
			no revert
 
In the event that network timing is required for the synchronous interfaces in the router, a timing subsystem is utilized to provide a clock to all synchronous interfaces within the system.
This section describes the commands used to configure and control the timing subsystem.
Use the CLI syntax displayed below to:
•
Edit Mode
•
Configuring Timing References
•
Using the Revert Command
•
Other Editing Commands
•
Forcing a Specific Reference
 
Edit Mode
To enter the mode to edit timing references, you must enter the begin keyword at the config>system>sync-if-timing# prompt.
Use the following CLI syntax to enter the edit mode:
CLI Syntax: config>system>sync-if-timing
begin
The following error message displays when the you try to modify sync-if-timing parameters without entering the keyword begin.
A:ALA-12>config>system>sync-if-timing>ref1# source-port 2/1/1
MINOR: CLI The sync-if-timing must be in edit mode by calling begin before any changes can be made.
MINOR: CLI Unable to set source port for ref1 to 2/1/1
A:ALA-12>config>system>sync-if-timing>ref1#
 
 
Configuring Timing References
Use the following CLI syntax to configure timing reference parameters. Note that the source port specified for ref1 and ref2 is dependent on the 7750 SR-Series model type and chassis slot.
Note: For the SR-c12 and SR-c4, the ref1 and ref2 cannot both be from the same slot.

            exit
            ref2
                source-port 6/1/2
                no shutdown
            exit
            bits

                no shutdown
            exit

ALA-12>config>system>sync-if-timing#
 
Using the Revert Command
The revert command allows the clock to revert to a higher priority reference if the current reference goes offline or becomes unstable. When the failed reference becomes operational, it is eligible for selection.
When mode is non-revertive, a failed clock source is not selected again. If a node would enter holdover due to the references being in previous failed state, then the node will select one of the previously failed references rather than going into holdover.
CLI Syntax: config>system>sync-if-timing
revert
If the current reference goes offline or becomes unstable the revert command allows the clock to revert to a higher-priority reference.
When revert is switching enabled a valid timing reference of the highest priority is used. If a reference with a higher priority becomes valid, a reference switch over to that reference is initiated. If a failure on the current reference occurs, the next highest reference takes over.
If non-revertive switching is enabled, the valid active reference always remains selected even if a higher priority reference becomes available. If the active reference becomes invalid, a reference switch over to a valid reference with the highest priority is initiated. The failed reference is eligible for selection once it becomes operational.
	CLI Syntax: config>system>sync-if-timing
			no revert
Other Editing Commands
Other editing commands include:
•
commit — This command saves changes made to the timing references during a session. Modifications are not persistent across system boots unless this command is entered.
•
abort — This command discards changes that have been made to the timing references during a session.
CLI Syntax: config>system>sync-if-timing
abort
commit
Forcing a Specific Reference
Note: The debug sync-if-timing force-reference command should only be used to test and debug problems. Network synchronization problems may appear if network elements are left with this manual override setting. Once the system timing reference input has been forced, it may be cleared using the no force-reference command.
You can force the CPM clock to use a specific input reference using the force-reference command.
When the command is executed, the CPM clock on the active CPM immediately switches its input reference to that specified by the command. If the specified input is not available (shutdown), or in a disqualified state, the CPM clock shall use the next qualified input reference based on the selection rules.
This command also affects the BITS output port. If the BITS output port selection is set to line-reference and the reference being forced is not the BITS input port, then the system uses the forced reference to generate the signal out the BITS output port. If the BITS output port selection is set to internal-clock, then the system uses the output of the CPM clock to generate the signal for the BITS output port.
On a CPM activity switch, the force command is cleared and normal reference selection is determined.
Debug configurations are not saved between reboots.
CLI Syntax: debug>sync-if-timing
force-reference {ref1 | ref2 | bits}
Example: debug>sync-if-timing# force-reference
 
The 7750 SR-c4 has two BITS input ports on the CFM. The force reference command on this system allows the selection of the specific port.
CLI Syntax: debug>sync-if-timing
force-reference {ref1 | ref2 | bits1 | bits2}
 
Configuring System Monitoring Thresholds
 
Creating Events
The event command controls the generation and notification of threshold crossing events configured with the alarm command. When a threshold crossing event is triggered, the rmon event configuration optionally specifies whether an entry in the RMON-MIB log table be created to record the occurrence of the event. It can also specify whether an SNMP notification (trap) be generated for the event. There are two notifications for threshold crossing events, a rising alarm and a falling alarm.ping-address
Creating an event entry in the RMON-MIB log table does not create a corresponding entry in the event logs. However, when the event is set to trap the generation of a rising alarm or falling alarm notification creates an entry in the event logs and that is distributed to whatever log destinations are configured: console, session, memory, file, syslog, or SNMP trap destination. The logger message includes a rising or falling threshold crossing event indicator, the sample type (absolute or delta), the sampled value, the threshold value, the rmon-alarm-id, the associated rmon-event-id and the sampled SNMP object identifier.
The alarm command configures an entry in the RMON-MIB alarm table. The alarm command controls the monitoring and triggering of threshold crossing events. In order for notification or logging of a threshold crossing event to occur there must be at least one associated rmon event configured.
The agent periodically takes statistical sample values from the MIB variable specified for monitoring and compares them to thresholds that have been configured with the alarm command. The alarm command configures the MIB variable to be monitored, the polling period (interval), sampling type (absolute or delta value), and rising and falling threshold parameters. If a sample has crossed a threshold value, the associated ‘event’ is generated.
Preconfigured CLI threshold commands are available. Preconfigured commands hide some of the complexities of configuring RMON alarm and event commands and perform the same function. In particular, the preconfigured commands do not require the user to know the SNMP object identifier to be sampled. The preconfigured threshold configurations include memory warnings and alarms and compact flash usage warnings and alarms.
To create events, use the following CLI:
Example: config>system>thresholds# cflash-cap-warn cf1-B: rising-threshold 2000000 falling-threshold 1999900 interval 240 trap startup-alarm either
Example: config>system>thresholds# memory-use-alarm rising-threshold 50000000 falling-threshold 45999999 interval 500 both startup-alarm either
Example: config>system>thresh# rmon
Example: config>system>thresh>rmon# event 5 both description "alarm testing" owner "Timos CLI"
The following example displays the command output:
A:ALA-49>config>system>thresholds# info
----------------------------------------------
            rmon
                event 5 description "alarm testing" owner "Timos CLI"
            exit
            cflash-cap-warn cf1-B: rising-threshold 2000000 falling-threshold 1999900 interval 240 trap
            memory-use-alarm rising-threshold 50000000 falling-threshold 45999999 interval 500
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-49>config>system>thresholds#
 
System Alarm Contact Inputs
The hardware supports alarm contact inputs that allow an operator to monitor and report changes in the external environmental conditions. In a remote or outdoor deployment, alarm contact inputs allow an operator to detect conditions, for example, air conditioner fault, open door.
An operator can configure generation of events when alarm contact inputs transition between the open and close states. For each generated event, the operator can specify the:
•
Action associated with each state transition.
•
Severity associated with each state transition.
•
Log message associated with each state transition.
