How do I create planned alien OCh services with add/drop endpoints on MLFSB or ASC4 cards?

This procedure describes how to provision a planned alien OCh service using WS-NOC traversing either MLFSB or ASC4 add/drop endpoints. OCh creation is applicable to all card types.

Note: Virtual NEs (VNEs) in WS-NOC are not supported for this use-case.

Create an external topology extending from the add/drop endpoints at each end of the OCh service, either from NE CLI or WS-NOC equipment manager.

  1. For 1830 PSS NE CLI on MLFSB cards: use the following commands, assuming the Mx port is directly connected to the iRDM FSx port, index 1 is for input, and index 2 is for output. The LC port role is discovered when multi-topology is created with the MLFSB Mx port and the connected card. The port role is displayed in the UI. 

    config interface <sh/sl/MxN1> type och
    config interface <sh/sl/MxN2> type och
    config interface topology <sh/sl/MxN1> externalin 1.1.1.1 1/1/1 uni
    config interface topology <sh/sl/MxN2> external 1.1.1.1 1/1/1 uni

    where x = [1..6], N = [A..F], 1 = Input, 2 = Output

    The interface topology configuration should display the following, for example:

    # show interface topology 26/1/m1a1

    Shelf: 26 Slot: 1 Port: M1A1 - MLFSB Lc Port
    ----------------------------------------------
    To Connection Type    : internal
    To Destination        : 1/3/ADT12 - IRDM20 Adt Port
    From Connection Type  : external
    From Destination      : 1.1.1.1 1/1/1

    Multi-fiber port In    : M1
    Multi-fiber port Out  : M1

    # show interface topology 26/1/m1a2

    Shelf: 26 Slot: 1 Port: M1A2 - MLFSB Lc Port
    ------------------------------------------------
    To Connection Type    : external
    To Destination        : 1.1.1.1 1/1/1
    From Connection Type  : internal
    From Destination      : 1/3/ADT12 - IRDM20 Adt Port

    Multi-fiber port In   : M1
    Multi-fiber port Out  : M1

  2. For 1830 PSS NE CLI on ASC4 cards: use the following commands, assuming the ASC SIG ports are directly connected to the MxN824 ADT ports.

    config interface topology <sh/sl/ZxIn> externalin 1.1.1.1 1/1/1 uni
    config interface topology <sh/sl/ZxOut> external 1.1.1.1 1/1/1 uni

    where Z = [A..D], x = [1..4]

    The interface topology configuration should display the following, for example:

    # show interface topology 1/9/clin

    Shelf: 1 Slot: 9 Port: C1IN - ASC4 Add/Drop Port
    ------------------------------------------------
    From Connection Type  : external
    From Destination      : 1.1.1.1 1/1/1

    # show interface topology 1/9/clout

    Shelf: 1 Slot: 9 Port: C1OUT - ASC4 Add/Drop Port
    -------------------------------------------------
    From Connection Type  : external
    From Destination      : 1.1.1.1 1/1/1

Provision the planned alien OCh service (ZR+) using WS-NOC using connection type “2-Ended Bi”. Perform one of the following depending on the card type:

  1. For MLFSB cards, create and deploy a new service with the following:

    • “Alien Wavelength (unkeyed OCH)” service

    • the endpoint and connection characteristics from the interface topology CLI output (note the “Connection Type”, “From”, and “To” parameters)

    • the “Alien Profile”, “Channel Width”, and “Wave Key” parameters configured

    See the WS-NOC documentation for more information about configuring and deploying a service.

  2. For ASC4 cards, create and deploy a new service with the following:

    • “Alien Wavelength (unkeyed OCH)” service

    • the endpoint and connection characteristics from the interface topology CLI output (note the “Connection Type”, “From”, and “To” parameters)

    • specify a frequency (the Z-End Add/Drop port belongs to a static filter)

    • the “Alien Profile”, “Channel Width”, and “Wave Key” parameters configured

    See the WS-NOC documentation for more information about configuring and deploying a service.
