1.3.5 Manage NEs


NE represents the corresponding equipment on LCT-SNPT and EMS-SNPT.
When an NE is managed by multiple network management systems, if one network manager modifies
the NE configuration data, then data on other network managers will be inconsistent with the NE data.
As a result, the user will make inappropriate judgments or operations due to the wrong configuration
data. Therefore, it is critical that the network manager makes sure that the network manager data and
the NE data is consistent for the purpose of managing NEs.
EMS-SNPT provides rich data management functions to ensure the safety and consistency of the
configuration data. Different data management functions can be used in different network construction
phases:
 Upload: Upload data from an NE to the specified directory of a client/server.
 Download: Download data from the specified directory of a client/server to an NE.
 Compare: Check if the network manager data and the NE data are consistent. If inconsistency is
found, then synchronize or upload the NE configuration data.
 Synchronization: Upload the inconsistent data (such asthe conflicting data, data exist on the NE
but not on any network manager)to the network manager’s network element layer.
 Copy: For an NE with the same type and the same host software version, if the configuration data
of the NE to be configured are identical to those of another NE, then you can configure the NE
data in the same way as you copy the NE data. As copying NE data only changes the network
manager data, it does not affect NE data. You need to download the copied data to put the data
into effect on the NE.
In different stages of engineering and different application scenarios, different data management
functions can be used. The basic principles of data management are as follows:
 Upload the NE’s data before making any configuration modification, and make sure that network
manager’s data is consistent with the NE’ data.
 Back up the NE database and network management database after making any configuration
modification for NE abnormal data recovery.

2.5.8 Configure the LAG Virtual Interface


LAG (Link Aggregation Group) combine a set of physical links together to a logical link (LAG), which
provides higher bandwidth and more reliability. EMS-SNPT products support LAG over Ethernet links.
Both manual and static aggregation is supported.
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is used to dynamically control whether the physical interface
can join the LAG.
Aggregation method:
 Manual Aggregation: Manual aggregation needs user to manually create LAG and add the
members of LAG. It doesn’t use LACP protocol Manual aggregation can interwork with those
equipment which doesn’t LACP. In case of individual member failure (such as unidirectional fiber
brOKen of one Ethernet interface), the transmission side of the brOKen fiber can’t detect the
failure. Traffic will be affected in case of load sharing or interrupted in case of non-load sharing.
 Static Aggregation: Static aggregation need user to manually create LAG and add the member
links. LACP is used in static aggregation. LACP will not change the user’s configuration.
Equipments on both sides of the link will negotiate about the aggregation via LCAP protocol
interaction. It doesn’t depend on the configuration of either end and make the control of
aggregation more accurate and effective.
Prerequisites
 The role is Operator or upper
 EMS-SNPT is connected to the NE normally
 ETH interface with role NONE is available

Ribbon Com m unications Inc. Proprietary 141


EMS-SNPT User Guide NE Configuration

NOTE:
• LACP System Priority: The priority of a LAG, which is effective to the working status of
the member ports of LAG.
• When local LAG negotiates with remote LAG, they can get the LAG system priority from
each other and can use the logical calculation of the one with higher priority as the
common result of both ends. If both sides are with same priority, the MAC address is
compared, and depends on the one with the lower MAC address. A smaller number of
priority means higher priority.
• LACP System Priority Range: [0,65535], default is 32678.
• LACP System ID: The MAC address, matching the Ethernet destination.

A Tunnel is independent with traffic. It can be used for end to transmission and can provide a carrier
channel for service-related PW.
Tunnel doesn’t care what kind of traffic is encapsulated in PW. It only provides a channel from the local
to the remote end. Packets are encapsulated into PW and labeled with an MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label
Switching) label, and are sent to the Tunnel for transmission. They are recovered at the destination
end, keeping their original characteristics. You can implement the tunnel on the ingress node where the
Tunnel traffic is IN, or on the Egress node where traffic is OUT.

2.7 Synchronization Management


Clocking Type
Synchronization is to centralize the bytes to be sent and sent in batch, omit the reminder of start-stop
bit of all bytes, which increase the efficiency of data transmission.

Synchronization Type:
 Clock Synchronization
 Clock synchronization, also called as frequency synchronization, means some strict relationship
on frequency or phase between signals. The corresponding effective moment appears at the
same mean speed to guarantee all the equipments working at same speed in the network.
 Time synchronization
 Time synchronization, also called as phase synchronization, which means frequency and phase
are same between signals.

Ribbon Com m unications Inc. Proprietary 163


EMS-SNPT User Guide NE Configuration

Clock Source
Include system clock and external clock output:
 System clock provides a synchronized clock for the whole system.
 External clock output provides clocking reference to 2M external clock port.

Clocking Model
 OC (Ordinary clock)
Ordinary clock is connected to the network via a PTP port. It maintains local clock and port clock,
decide the master/slave with BMC algorithm. When the port is slave, equipment gets clock
packets from PTP to recover the clock. When the port is master, system works as freerunning or
locked to external clock port, and advertises the clock from the port.
 BC (Boundary clock)
Boundary clock has multiple connections to the network via PTP. Every PTP of boundary clock is
same as that of ordinary clock, maintain one set of clock information, share the local clock and
current clock source information. Boundary clock can advertise the clock information via multiple
PTP ports. When local clock is selected by BMC, boundary clock is the master clock, all the ports
act as master and advertise the clock. When one of the PTP port is selected by BMC, the PTP
port is slave and clock is recovered from the port. All the other ports are master and advertise the
clock information.
 TC (Transparent clock)
Transparent clock consists of transparent ports. Transparent clock forwards all the PTP packets
just like a router or switch, is not synchronized with it but calculate the residence time (how much
time the packets spend to go through the node) and accumulate to “correction field.
Transparent clock can work together with ordinary clock or boundary clock in one node and act as
a network element (TC+OC or TC+BC).

2.9 Protection Management


2.9.1 Card Protection
EMS-SNPT products support card protection for those important cards, such as main controller card,
PDH card, and etc. Two cards with the same type can protect each other. When the working card fails
or switch command of working card is executed, system can still work because of card protection.
When the system is commissioning, execution of switch command can test whether card protection
works properly or not. In case of an outage solution, a switch command can help to locate the problem.

NOTE: Card protection is not supported for 5G.

2.9.9 LSP Ring Protection


Ring protection creates another close ring with diverse direction from the physical topology point of
view, so that traffic can be protected. The forward or backward depends on the direction where traffic
goes after switch is triggered.
LSP ring protection provides protection for Tunnels over EMS-SNPT network, and protects the service
on the working channel with protection channel. In case of working channel failure, taffic can be
switched to protection channel.

precondition for protection switch.

2.10 LPT Configuration


LPT (Link State Pass Through) is a kind of technology which is to transfer the link state of one side to
another side through network, to let the device in another side make correlative operating according to
this side’s link state, for example, to start backup link when remote link is faulty, therefore, to realize
network level protection.
LPT mechanism can detect the fault between service access point and transport network and inform
the fault, then notice devices in both sides to start up backup network in time for communicating,
therefore, to ensure the normal data transmission.

LPT-MPLS-TP
Link Failure

The functionality of LPT includes the following:


 User Side
 In normal case, when access point link on CE1 side is faulty, CE1 will detect the link fault and
start up the backup network automatically, then try to use backup network to communicate
with CE2. Due to CE2 cannot get the information from CE1 of the link fault, it will still use the
original network to communicate with CE1, leading the communication between CE1 and
CE2 failed.
 After starting up LPT function, if the transmission device PE1 detected the link fault between
itself and CE1, it will send LPT message to transmission device PE2 on the other side. PE2
will let CE2 detect the link fault by shutting down its own interface, therefore CE2 will start up
backup network then set up the connection with CE1 in backup network.
 Network Side
 After detecting service network fault, service network will start up LPT function, and send LPT
message to the faulty end, cut down connections between transmission devices (PE1/PE2)
and access devices (CE1/CE2), then use backup network to communicate.

Ribbon Com m unications Inc. Proprietary 220


EMS-SNPT User Guide NE Configuration

2.10.2 LPT Application


Scenarios of LPT function supporting E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree:
 Access Point Fault
After detecting fault between transmission device PE1 and access point CE1, PE1 will shut down
the link between PE1 and CE1, then send PE2 the information with link fault between itself and
CE1. At the same time PE1 will supervise the link state between itself and CE1, in case that if the
link recovers, service can recover to normal state. After receiving the message with link fault on
the otherside, PE2 will shut down the link between PE2 and CE2, then let both sides shift to
backup network. If recovery of link between PE1 and CE1 has been detected, PE1 will send fault
recovery message to PE2, after receiving this message PE2 will open the link, service will be
recovered to original network.
 Network Fault
Under the situation of network fault with single-direction, for example, if the network between PE1
and PE2 is faulty only on PE1PE2 direction, PE2 will shut down the link between PE2 and CE2
after detecting the network fault, at the same time send a message to PE1 with PE2 side’s link
fault information by using the original service network on PE2PE1 direction. After receiving this
message, PE1 will shut down the link between PE1 and CE1, to make both sides shifted to
backup network at the same time.

EMS-SNPT provide three levels of MPLS-TP OAM: Section OAM, LSP OAM, PW OAM. It completes
MPLS-TP OAM feature sets with two standard system options: ITU-T G.8113.1 and ITU-T G.8113.2.
The MPLS-TP OAM includes fault, performance and protection-switching management functions that
do not rely on the presence of a control plane. It reuses MPLS OAM mechanisms wherever possible
and adds new OAM mechanisms where existing mechanisms are not sufficient to meet the
requirements. The OAM considers following operator needs:
 Monitor of the MPLS-TP PW/LSP performance
 PW/LSP connectivity failures report
 Troubleshooting
 Trigger of the protection switching
Although in G.8113.1 and G.8113.2, there is some difference in the OAM items. Basically, the two
MPLS-TP OAM set cover the same functionalities. Tab.5.1 summarize the MPLS-TP OAM functions in
different level. Yellow blocks are proactive items, green blocks are on-demand items, and purple blocks
are on-demand/proactive items. Proactive items are enabled/disabled by NMS and LCT manually.

In G.8113.1 mode, EMS-SNPT support MPLS-TP OAM alarm include: LOC, AIS, RDI, Mismerge,
UnexpMEP, UnexpPrd, LCK, CSF.
In G.8113.2 mode, EMS-SNPT support MPLS-TP OAM alarm include: LOC, AIS, RDI, Mismerge,
UnexpMEP, UnexpPrd, LCK
Although most of the MPLS-TP OAM parameters have very similar definition as the Ethernet Service
OAM parameter, there are still some new concepts introduced compared with EMS-SNPT ETH OAM
feature sets.
 APS: Automatic Protection Switch, which is defined by ITU-T G..8131/G.8132. Equipment sends
APS frame to far end equipment to trigger the protection mechanism when a failure is detected.
EMS-SNPT supports MS-PW, SS-PW, and hierarchy LSP.
The following figures present the MPLS-TP OAM in different scenarios.
