2.1
Working with the GUI

This sub-chapter provides general operating information for the Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is Microsoft Windows and English language input based.
2.1.1
Using the mouse

Both the left and the right mouse button are used when working with the GUI. The left mouse button may be used for the following actions: Select a function using the features available in a window (buttons, selection menus etc.) Select a menu item Select a toolbar button Confirm an action (e.g., Apply) Double-click an item in a list to open the corresponding window
The right mouse button may be used to select a specific object in a window, and open the corresponding context menu. Many operations can only be invoked via context menus. The context menu displays a selection of menu items which are relevant for the selected object in the given situation. The available menus, context menus, and menu items depend on the users access rights. The unavailable context menus or menu items, appear dimmed.
g Unless the text states otherwise, always use the left mouse button for clicking and
double-clicking.
2.1.2
Using the keyboard

Since the user interface is driven by context menus it is not advised to operate without a mouse. Therefore, this manual refers to mouse control, i.e., it is presumed that the user usually works with a mouse. However, it is possible to use the keyboard to open the main menu or execute the toolbar items. Hold down the <Alt> key and press the underlined letters to open the corresponding menu or execute the toolbar item. After opening a menu, select the underlined letter for the desired menu item or use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus/submenus. It is also possible to use the keyboard to perform the standard operations. Table 4 describes a selection of standard keyboard operations that are supported.

This chapter provides task descriptions and additional information within the scope of operating the SURPASS hiT 7080 system.
4.1
Performance management
The following sub-chapters describe performance management tasks. The Performance Monitoring (PM) and signal quality analysis provide information to detect and alert a potential problem that could lead to degraded performance before a failure is declared. Performance management provides the following monitoring functions for the SDH cards: PM (processing and reporting) of parameters. Inquiry of current and historical values of the parameters. Supervision of parameter thresholds.
For the Ethernet cards, performance management only provides the first two monitoring functions. The performance parameters are monitored as follows: Current and previous values: 15 minute period and 24 hour period Historical values: maximum 16 records for 15 minute periods, 1 record for 24 hour period
In addition to the performance parameters already mentioned, Ethernet performance also monitors 5 second performance data. The monitoring functions are accessed and configured via the LCT. Performance monitoring parameters Depending on the supported protocols of the transponder, the following performance monitoring parameters are supported: SDH: supports the following regenerator section and multiplex section performance parameters, counted according to G.829: Background Block Error (BBE) Consecutive Severely Errored Second (CSES) Errored Second (ES) Out of Frame Second (OFS) Point Justification Count Negative (PJCN) Point Justification Count Positive (PJCP) Severely Errored Second (SES) Unavailable Second (UAS) No far-end PM parameters are defined for the SDH Regenerator Section. Ethernet performance monitoring supports the following parameters: Received Total Byte Received Total/Good/Bad/Unicast/Multicast/Broadcast/Fragment Packet Received Dropped/Undersize/Oversize Good Packet Receive Good Pause Packet Received 64 byte/65-127 byte/128-255 byte/256-511 byte/512-1023 byte/10241518 byte Packet

Operation tasks
Transmit Total Byte Transmit Total/Unicast/Multicast/Broadcast Packet Transmit Good Pause Packet PDH: supports the following performance parameters of 2 Mbps, 34 Mbps, and 45 Mbps: ES SES BBE UAS CSES Unavailable Period (UAP)
Impact of other settings on performance management Besides the specific performance management settings, the following settings must be considered since they also affect PM: Operational state: if the operational state of a shelf/card/port is Disabled, all corresponding 15-minute and 24-hour PM processing is stopped: the current 15 minutes values are cleared; the current 24 hours values are not cleared but are frozen; no action is done on previous or historical data. After switching the operational state to Enabled the PM processing will re-start automatically. NE time: if the internal time of the NE is modified by the Network Time Protocol (NTP) or manually, the 15 minutes/24 hours periods are adjusted with the new time, i.e., the length of the period becomes shorter or longer. In case the NE time is changed, the current 15-minute and 24-hour performance data will always be consistent with each other. Deleting an object: if a monitored object is deleted, its complete 15-minute and 24hour PM processing is stopped immediately. The corresponding history data files remain in the database. Card rebooting: if a card or the system is performing warm reboot or cold reboot, the performance monitoring registers will be reset to zero. After the reboot, the performance monitoring will be resumed. The performance monitoring for a TP can be suspended (called as Non-monitor) or resumed (called as Monitor). The default mode is Non-monitor.

Managing GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

There are two kinds of VLAN membership configuration: 1. Static configuration of VLAN membership information via Management mechanisms, which allow configuration of Static VLAN Registration Entries. 2. Dynamic configuration and distribution of VLAN membership information by means of the GVRP. GVRP is a specific instance of GARP, thus the protocol processing for GVRP is based on the GARP. The purpose of the GARP is to provide a generic framework where devices are in a bridged LAN. For a bridged LAN, the active topology is normally that created and maintained by the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The VLAN register/unregister and VLAN declare/withdraw procedures are controlled by the GVRP State Machine. There are several concepts that need to be illustrated first: Registrar: The Registrar has a single timer, a leave timer, and three states. Join timer: The Join Period Timer controls the interval between transmit Packet Data Unit (PDU) events that are applied to the Applicant State Machine.
79
Operation tasks
Leave timer: The Leave Period Timer controls the period of time that the Registrar State Machine waits in the LV state before transiting to the MT state. An instance of the timer is required for each state machine that is in the LV state. The Leave Period Timer is set to the Leave Time value when it is started or restarted. Leave all timer: The Leave All Period Timer controls the frequency with which the Leave All state machine generates Leave All PDUs. In the LCT chassis view, right-click a Layer 2 Ethernet card and select the GVRP Management menu item from the context menu. The GVRP Management window is opened. Configure the following settings if applicable: Bridge Address: Join Timer (ms): Leave Timer (ms): Enter a MAC address. Click the spin box to adjust the join timer. Click the spin box to adjust the leave timer.
To configure the GVRP, complete the following steps: 1
Leave all Timer (ms): Click the spin box to adjust the leave all timer. GVRP Enabled: Dynamic VLAN Range: Select Enabled or Disabled from the drop-down list. Enter a number of dynamic VLANs that GVRP can go through.
g The leave timer must be at least three times larger than the join timer. The leave
all timer must be larger than the leave timer. In reality there might be several NEs in the network. The user must select Enabled or Disabled from the GVRP Enabled drop-down list which should match the settings of the corresponding port in the peer NE. 3 4 Double-click an item in the GVRP Port Properties list to open the GVRP Port Configuration window. Configure the following settings are applicable: Port Enabled: Registrar Admin Control: Select Enabled to enable GVRP function on the port of the bridge. Select the desired item from the drop-down list.
Applicant Admin Control: Select the desired item from the drop-down list. GVRP on STP blocking port: Select the desired item from the drop-down list.
g When the GVRP function is enabled, all the related dynamic VLAN numbers will
be automatically stored. However, if the user modifies the VLAN settings, it will cause a change of dynamic VLAN numbers which cannot be updated. In this situation, the user has to select Disabled from the GVRP on STP blocking port drop-down list to prevent the GVRP Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) from being a ring. The GVRP management is configured.

Managing Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping

A Layer 2 switch supporting Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping can passively snoop on IGMP Query, Report, and Leave packets transferred between IP Multicast Routers/Switches and IP Multicast hosts to learn the IP Multicast group membership. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group registration information, and configures multicasting accordingly. Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic, that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic and therefore significantly reduces multicast traffic passing through the switch. To configure IGMP, complete the following steps: 1 In the LCT chassis view, right-click a Layer 2 Ethernet card and select the IGMP Snooping menu item from the context menu. The IGMP Snooping window is opened. 2 Configure the following settings:

Configuring Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

If there is only one VLAN in the network, a single STP works appropriately. If the network contains more than one VLAN, the logical network configured by a single STP would work, but it is possible to make better use of the redundant links available by using an alternate spanning tree for different (groups of) VLANs. Multiple regions and other STP bridges are interconnected using one single Common Spanning Tree (CST) regardless of the number of VLANs. The idea is that several VLANs can be mapped to a reduced number of spanning tree instances because most networks do not need more than a few logical topologies. The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) enables VLANs to be grouped into MST Instances (MSTI), with each instance having a spanning tree topology independent of other spanning tree instances. This architecture provides multiple forwarding paths for data traffic, enables load balancing, and reduces the number of spanning tree instances required to support a large number of VLANs. A collection of interconnected switches that have the same MST configuration comprises an MST region. The configuration of MST controls which MST region each switch belongs to. The configuration includes the name of the region, the revision number, and the MST VLAN-to-instance assignment map. Configuring Common and Internal Spanning Tree CIST comprises of a collection of the ISTs in each MST region, and the common spanning tree that interconnects the MST regions and single spanning trees. To configure CIST, complete the following steps: 1 In the LCT chassis view, right-click a Layer 2 Ethernet card and select the MSTP Configuration > CIST Configuration menu item from the context menu. The CIST Configuration window is opened. 2 In the CIST Bridge Information area configure the following settings: Bridge MAC: Priority: 3 Enter the MAC address of the card.

Resilient Packet Ring management

RPR can operate on Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), SDH, and Ethernet to provide efficient and flexible networking schemes. It is made up of dual unidirectional counter-rotating ringlets named Ringlet 0 and Ringlet 1. Ringlet 0 is for clockwise or data traffic from the east side of one card to the west side of another card. Ringlet 1 is for counter-clockwise or data traffic from the west side of one card to the east side of another card. RPR provides two protection modes: Wrapping: After a span or a station fails, protected traffic is directed at the point of failure to the opposing ringlet. The two ringlets thus form a closed single ring around the point of the failure. Steering: The two stations at the two sides of the point of failure update their topology databases first and then send TP frames at fast intervals to the other stations on the ring. After a new topology database is stabilized, the source station directs protected frames to the ringlet that retains connectivity to their destinations.
The main steps of creating and modifying RPR are described from the Chapter 4.6.1 to 4.6.6.

Data Communication Network management

The DCN system implements a TCP/IP based inter-NE communication system. It provides an embedded network communication infrastructure for the MSTP systems management system. It is an embedded sub-network of SDH network, which is independent to the service traffic carried by SDH.
Figure 6
DCN structure
In Layer 2, PPP and MP are used. PPP provides a standard method for transporting MP datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP is comprised of three main components. 1. A method for encapsulating MP datagrams. 2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing the data link connection. 3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network layer protocols. Multi-link PPP supports the ability to extend the bandwidth between two NEs by allowing multiple parallel point-to-point links to be bundled together into a single virtual highbandwidth pipe, which increases the effective bandwidth between the NEs and reduces the latency. In Layer 3, OSPF protocol is used. OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) used to distribute routing information within a single Autonomous System (AS). The Regenerator Section (RS) bytes D1, D2, D3, and the Multiplex Section (MS) bytes D4, D5, D6 to
102
D12 are standard Layer 1 DCC in the SDH frame structure. High Capacity Overhead Channel (HCOC) bytes 9/27 are also used in this product.

Configuring OSPF
In OSPF there are several concepts that need to be introduced first. 1. Link State Algorithm (LSA) and Shortest Path Algorithm (SPA): OSPF uses the Link State to describe the whole network. The state of the link is a description of that interface and of its relationship to its neighboring routers. A description of the interface includes, for example, the IP address of the interface, the mask, the type of network it is connected to, the routers connected to the network and so on. The collection of all these link states forms a link state database. 2. Areas, Area Border Routers (ABR) and Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBR): OSPF introduces the areas concept to avoid link state packets flooding in all networks. Routers, which belong to different areas are called ABRs, act as a gateway between OSPF and other routing protocols or other autonomous system are ASBRs. 3. Neighbors and adjacencies: Before a router accepts any routing information from other OSPF routes, they have to build an adjacency on their interfaces between the routers. When the adjacency is built, the two routers are called neighbors. Neighbor is a special relationship between the two routers. The two routers which are neighbors should have the same parameters such as: area ID and type, hello, and dead interval.

Configuring IP route
A route entry is used for IP packet forwarding, with an interface and gateway to use in a packet/destination address, based on the next hop. The primary purpose of the route table is to define routes from temporary or permanent gateway NEs to routers, TNMS systems, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers in the customer IP network:
111
Static routes must be manually created from a permanent gateway NE when the customer IP network has a router between the DCN and the TNMS system. Otherwise, no static route is necessary (i.e., the TNMS system and the permanent gateway NE are in the same IP network). When accessing a specific NE in the DCN via a gateway NE (permanent or temporary), a route entry to the TNMS system/LCT (destination) is automatically created in the specific NE via that gateway NE (next hop). Route entries can also be used for reaching SNMP trap receivers via a permanent gateway NE.

Managing synchronization
Synchronization information is transmitted through the network via synchronization network connections. These synchronization network connections are in different synchronization levels. Each synchronization network connection is provided by one or more synchronization link connections, each supported by a synchronized primary or secondary rate of SDH multiplex section trail. The timing references are those that have been selected from the clock source as candidates for the basis of the system timing. These references are prioritized and monitored on their quality, and they take part in the synchronization switching procedure. There are three Quality Levels (QL) of synchronization clocks defined by ITU-T. They are listed below from the highest level to the lowest level.
117
Primary Reference Clock (PRC): It is using single clock frequency supplied by the clock signal source to operate all NEs in the SDH network. It has the highest level priority. Enhanced Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU): It has the second level priority. SDH Equipment Clock (SEC): It has the lowest level priority.
The synchronization management includes four parts: Modifying timing source reference properties Configuring global settings Modifying the station clock settings Modifying the system clock settings Modifying timing source reference properties To modify a timing source reference properties, complete the following steps: 1 In the chassis main menu, select the Configuration > Synchronization Management menu item. The Synchronization Management window is opened. 2 Double-click the desired item which has not yet been referenced to open the Timing Source Property window. Select the Force DNU check box which indicates it can not be referenced as the timing source for other NEs, where DNU represents Do Not Use. 3 Right-click a row in the Timing Source and Status list and select Add menu item to add it as the timing reference. 4 Double-click the just referenced timing source and the Reference Properties window is opened. 5 Modify the following parameters: Priority: Lockout: Monitored: Select 1 to 255 from the drop-down list. The larger number represents a lower priority. Select from Yes or No. If Yes is selected, the timing source cannot be used by the system clock. If Monitored is selected, the timing reference related alarms can be reported.
Wait to Restore Time Select from 0 to 12. It presents the time re(minutes): qualification of a synchronization source after a failure. SSM Mode: Overwrite incoming QL: Overwrite incoming QL with value: Select SDH or SONET. If Auto is selected, the system will use the QL timing reference in the received frame. Otherwise, the system will use the QL signal provisioned by the user. If the Overwrite incoming QL is Provisioning, select the desired item from the drop-down list.
Force DNU: Select Yes or No to enable or disable the function. Click Apply and OK when a confirmation window appears to confirm the settings. The properties of a timing source reference are now modified.

The system clock settings are now modified. Modifying the system clock settings The NE's clock circuit can be used as an independent clock source. There are three modes for this operation: Normal mode: This mode is synchronized with external timing input or SDH Line timing. The system traces the timing reference source from one of the reference sources. Holdover mode: When the clock circuit operates in a slave mode, all parameters, such as frequency, phase, etc., are memorized. When the circuit loses the reference source, for example by line failure, the stored data are used for continuous and seamless operation. Thus, transmission disturbances caused by abrupt change of frequency and phase can be avoided. Free running mode: The internal clock which runs without a reference source will be used when no reference source is available. To modify the system clock settings, complete the following steps: 1 In the chassis main menu, select the Configuration > Synchronization Management menu item. The Synchronization Management window is opened. 2 Click System Clock to open the System Clock Properties window. 3 Select one of the radio buttons Free running, Holdover, or Auto Selection and click Set Mode to set the operation mode. 4 Select the desired items in the Request and Reference drop-down lists and click Switch to change the system clock from the previous one to the newly selected one. g If the Operation Mode is Auto Selection, the Request and Reference dropdown list boxes are available to be modified.
