Procedure 9-6.2: Create transit (swapped) Tunnel AIDs
Overview
Use this procedure to create a cross-connect entity and establish a one-way, two-way cross-connection between the specified TUSegments. The System supports a maximum of 250 MPLS bidirectional TUSegment cross connections.
The ent-tmpls-tuseg command creates a TUSegment. See Procedure 9-6.1: Create Tunnel segments and terminated Tunnel AIDs.
The ent-tmpls-crstuseg command automatically generates a TUNNEL-AID output for TYPE=SWAP. The TUNNEL parameters can be modified using ED-TMPLS-TUNNEL command. The TUNNEL can be deleted using 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. |
2 |
From the Navigation menu, select TMPLS → Tunnel Management → Create Transit Tunnel. Equivalent TLI command: ent-tmpls-tuseg. Result: The Create Transit Tunnel Segment screen displays. |
3 |
In each of the Tunnel Segment From/To sections, enter the parameters as required. See From/To 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=];. |

Note: The Cross-Connection Type is automatically displayed as 2WAY. When the Submit button is clicked, two Transit (Swap) TUSegments and one CRS TUSegment are created. A Tunnel is also created from the CRS TUSegment. Click Submit. Equivalent TL1 command: ent-tmpls-crstuseg command to create the Transit Tunnel for swapped Tunnel Segments. GE Ports 1-4 are T-MPLS ports. Enter ENT-TMPLS-CRSTUSEG:[TID]:FROM,TO:[CTAG]::[CCT];, where:
Result: Tunnel AID output identifying the TUNNEL automatically generated for Swapped TUSegments. As the result, two Transit (Swap) TUSegments and one CRS TUSegment are created. A Tunnel is also created from the CRS TUSegment. Example: ENT-TMPLS-CRSTUSEG::TUSEG-1-1-10,TUSEG-1-1-20:::2WAY;. End of steps |
From/To tunnel segment input parameters
|
Parameter |
Value |
TL1 command |
|---|---|---|
|
MPLS Port (port) |
AID of the port which is the server of the MPLS TUSegment. GE ports 1, 2, 3, 4. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: port |
|
Type |
Tunnel type. Valid value: SWAP. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: type=swap |
|
Direction |
Valid value: BIDIR. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: dir=bidir |
|
User Name |
The user name for the TUSegment. The valid value is a character string containing up to 30 valid characters. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: username |
|
In Label (inlabel) |
The expected Label for incoming segment associated to Sink TUSegment. The label value must be unique in the system. Valid values: an integer in the range of 16 - 1023. Note that the In Labels 16 - 1023 are for services and 130048 - 131071 are for IEEE 1588 PTP traffic. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: inlabel |
|
Out Label (outlabel) |
The Transmitted Label for outgoing segment to Source TUSegment. The label value must be unique on the MPLS port basis; the Out Label shall not exist for the MPLSIF referenced by Port parameter. Valid values: an integer in the range of 16 - 1048575. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: outlabel |
|
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. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: ps-ddm-sd |
|
Alarm Profile (almprof) |
The Alarm Severity Assignment Profile (ASAP) name to use with this facility. 1-40 alphanumeric characters (plus '-') assigned as the userlabel for the desired profile. |
ent-tmpls-tuseg: almprof= |
