Procedure 9-6.1: Create Tunnel segments and terminated Tunnel AIDs
Overview
Use this procedure to create Tunnel segments and point-to-point bidirectional terminated PSN Tunnels. The System supports a maximum of 750 bidirectional MPLS TUSegments, of which up to 250 may be terminated Tunnels.
Use the Web GUI or the ent-tmpls-tuseg command to create a TUSegment.
Successful completion of this command automatically generates a TUNNEL AID output only if TYPE=TERMINATION. In the case of TYPE=SWAP, this command creates the TUSegments to be used in cross-connection in intermediate nodes.
When a TUSEG is created, the system assigns a TUSEG AID which uniquely defines the LSP Tunnel; this AID is obtained by the combination of Shelf and TUSEG index. For example, TUSegment AID = TUSEG-1-1{1-750}.
If TUSEG is (type = terminated), the system automatically creates a Tunnel AID, by: Shelf, Tunnel ID, Tunnel instance (In manual, fixed to 1), Ingress LER address (In manual configuration always 0.0.0.0), Egress LER address (In manual configuration always 0.0.0.0). For example: TUNNEL AID = TUNNEL-1-1-{1-500}-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
The TUNNEL parameters can be modified using the ed-tmpls-tunnel command. This TUSegment is automatically deleted when the TUNNEL is deleted using the dlt-tmpls-tunnel command.
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) TL1 Command Guide for T-MPLS, for help on using TLI commands.
Step
1 |
Login to the VLNC42B. |

Enter the parameters as required, then click Submit. See Tunnel segment input parameters. Equivalent TLI command: ENT-TMPLSTUSEG:[ TID]::[CTAG]::PORT,[TYPE],[DIR],[USERNAME]:[L2ENCAPPROFAID=][, INLABEL=][,OUTLABEL=][,PHBPROF-AID=][,OAMPHB-AID=][,MEP=][,MEGID=][, MEP-ID=][,EXPMEPID=][,CVRX=][,CVTX=][,CVPERIOD=][,CVPHB=][,ALMPROF=][,PS-DDM-SD=];.

|
PHB Profile (phbprof-aid) |
Per-Hop Behavior Profile. This is a drop-down list containing all PHB Profile in the system. The default value is PHBPROF-n, where n is the value selected in the PHB Range field of the Global Network configuration screen. The default is PHBPROF-2. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: phbprof-aid |
|
L2 Encapsulation Profile (l2encapprof-aid) |
L2 encapsulation profile AID to be used in case of mapping of MPLS over Ethernet when a switched network is present. The System will check if profile is present using this parameter as access-key. Default: L2ENCAPPROF-1. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: l2encapprof-aid= |
|
Diagnostic Monitoring SD Prot. Switch (PS-DDM-SD) |
Enables/disables the Protection Switch feature for Signal Degrade detected on the basis of the optical power monitored by Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capable SSF/ TSF. |
