To create an Ethernet radio ring on a Wavence
Purpose
You can use this procedure to create an Ethernet radio ring element for a radio ring, fiber ring, or mixed ring on the Wavence.
Note:
-
The radio ring operation status is not correctly displayed when an NE that is part of a ring is not reachable.
-
The state cause of Provisioning Mismatch is not displayed for the MEG ID/level mismatch parameter of the Radio ring.
-
Ring operation state is not updated correctly when multiple radio links are down.
-
The Link Down state cause for Wavence VLL and VLAN services is not displayed when a link in a ring is down.
-
The owner of the ring on the NFM-P topology map is labeled and the link that is blocked is highlighted in orange.
Steps
Create the ERP topology | |
1 |
On the equipment navigation tree, right-click on a Wavence and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens. |
2 |
Click on the Radio Ring Component tab and click Create. The Radio Ring Component (Create) form opens. |
3 |
Configure the parameters in the Radio Ring Component (Create) form.
|
4 |
Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 for each Wavence device that you want to add to your ERPS topology. |
Create the Radio ring representation | |
5 |
Choose Manage→Service Tunnels from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Service Tunnels form opens. |
6 |
Click Create and choose Radio Ring. The Radio Ring (Create) form opens. |
7 |
Configure the parameters as required and click Apply. The radio ring template is created and searched from the Radio Ring (Ethernet Ring) drop-down menu. |
8 |
Double-click on an entry and the Radio Ring (Edit) form opens. |
Define the elements in the Radio ring | |
9 |
Click on the Components tab, right-click on the Ring Elements icon in the navigation tree, and choose one of the following:
|
10 |
Double-click on a network element. The Ethernet Ring Element (Create) form opens. |
11 |
Configure the parameters as required. |
12 |
Click Select in Radio Ring Topology panel and choose the appropriate ERP topology created in Step 1 to Step 3. The Ethernet Ring Element (Create) form reappears. |
13 |
Click on the Path Endpoints tab and double-click to select the path A endpoint. The Ethernet Ring Path Endpoint - (Create) form opens. |
14 |
Configure the MEG ID parameter and save the form. |
15 |
Repeat Step 13 and Step 14 to configure the path B endpoint. Note: The MEG ID parameter for the path B endpoint must be a different value than the one used for the path A endpoint. |
16 |
If required, select the CLE/ODNC check box in the OAM Switch Criteria panel. Note: If a port with the 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback enabled is selected as the endpoint of the ring instance, the OAM Switch criteria panel is displayed. If the ring instance is in the idle state, the 802.3ah EFM OAM remote loopback enabled, and CLE/ODNC is selected, the ring instance changes to protected state. If the CLE/ODNC parameter is selected for one ring instance, it is also applicable to other ring instances for that topology. |
17 |
Save your changes and close the form. |
Configure a ring protection link for the Radio ring | |
18 |
As required, configure a ring protection link for the Radio ring. Perform the following:
Note: There can be only one RPL owner in a given ring. |
To label and highlight the link from RPL owner | |
19 |
In the Microwave Backhaul Service (Edit) form, click Connect Service to connect the microwave backhaul service. Note: When a new RPL owner is set or after the topology is modified, the Topology Changed check box is selected automatically. The connect service operation must be performed for the changes to be reflected in the Service Topology map. The microwave backhaul service is configured successfully. |
20 |
Click the Topology View button to navigate to the Service Topology Map for a microwave backhaul service. The ring owner is labeled on the NFM-P topology map and the link that is blocked is highlighted in orange on the Service Topology Map. |
Add other ring elements as required to the Radio ring | |
21 |
Repeat Step 9 to Step 17 to create additional new ring elements to add to the radio ring. |
22 |
As required, add existing ring elements to the radio ring. Perform the following:
|
Turn up all the ring elements | |
23 |
As required, turn up the radio ring elements in your Radio ring. Perform the following:
|
Add the Radio ring to a microwave backhaul service | |
24 |
See Chapter 15, Wavence microwave backhaul service management to create a microwave backhaul service. End of steps |
