DWDM provisioning
This section provides information to provision the DWDM coherent optic, frequency, and coherent command options.
Provisioning the DWDM coherent optic
This procedure describes how to provision the DWDM coherent optic. To provision the DWDM coherent optic, provision the connector breakout type and enable the transceiver Digital Coherent Optics (DCO) on the cage where the device is present. Use the following command to show connector information.
show port 1/1/c1
Output example
The following example shows that the starting point is a new default connector 1/1/c1 that is not provisioned, is administratively shutdown, and has a DWDM coherent optic transceiver installed.

Configure the frequency using the following context.
By default, no frequency is configured. A frequency must be provisioned. The following example displays a frequency configuration of 194400000:
configure port 1/1/c1 dwdm frequency 194400000
-
To enable the laser and have the optic reach the "ready" state, the connector
port must be enabled per the configured breakout. Administratively enable
frequency for each connector port using the following commands:
- MD-CLI
configure port port-id admin-state enable
- classic
configure port port-id no shutdown
In the following example, the “Config Freq” and “Oper Freq” fields in the output reflect the frequency setting, the “Coherent Optical Module” values are present, and the “Module State” displays the “txOff” value until the connector ports are administratively enabled.

For any DWDM frequency changes, after the port is administratively enabled again, the coherent module initializes and transitions through various states as visible in the “Module State” field.
- MD-CLI
Provisioning DWDM coherent command options
Use the following commands to configure DWDM coherent command options:
- MD-CLI
configure port dwdm coherent compatibility configure port dwdm coherent report-alarm configure port dwdm coherent rx-los-thresh configure port dwdm coherent target-power
- classic
CLI
configure port dwdm coherent compatibility configure port dwdm coherent report-alarms configure port dwdm coherent rx-los-thresh configure port dwdm coherent target-power
-
Configure the coherent compatibility command using the
following context. The example below displays a compatibility
metro configuration.
configure port 1/1/c1 dwdm coherent compatibility metro
The coherent compatibility applies different optic application codes. The command default is long-haul and to change what has been previously configured, the user must shut down or disable the 1/1/c1 connector before provisioning for coherent compatibility.For any DWDM compatibility changes, after the 1/1/c1 connector is enabled, the coherent module initializes and transitions through various states as visible in the “Module State” field until it is ready again.
-
Enable the port using the following command:
- MD-CLI
configure port admin-state enable
- classic
CLI
configure port no shutdown
- MD-CLI
-
Configure alarm reporting. The following example displays a configuration where
the alarms are not reported.
MD-CLI
[ex:/configure port 1/1/c1 dwdm coherent report-alarm] A:admin@node-2# info modflt false mod false netrx false nettx false hosttx false
classic CLIA:node-2>config>port>dwdm>coherent# info detail ---------------------------------------------- no report-alarm modflt mod netrx nettx hosttx ----------------------------------------------
When an alarm is reported, it is logged in the event logs and a trap is sent to the Network Management System (NMS). For details about the alarms and defect points, see the TIMETRA-PORT-MIB.mib. By default, all alarms are reported. -
Configure the rx-los-thresh command. The following example
shows the command to configure -18 dBm.
configure port 1/1/c1 dwdm coherent rx-los-thresh -18
This command configures the received optical power threshold at which the Loss of Signal (LOS) alarm is declared. To clear the LOS alarm, the received optical power must be higher than the configured rx-los-thresh command. -
Configure the power target command. The following example shows the command to
configure a power target of -12 dBm.
configure port 1/1/c1 dwdm coherent target-power -12
This command configures the average output power target for the port.The actual measured Tx power along with the configured power is displayed by using the following command.show port 1/1/c1 detail
