Chapter 3 Building the Network

3.6.6 Creating Links

Note A PTP can be associated with only one bidirectional link or two unidirectional links at a particular layer rate for all NEs except Not Managed/Other Vendor NEs. For Not Managed/Other Vendor NEs, a PTP can terminate in only one link.

f.Click Next.

Step 3 The Link Summary panel summarizes the attributes of the new link. To change the link summary information, click Back and change the selections as needed.

Step 4 Click Finish.

Table 3-12 Field Descriptions for the Create Link Wizard

Field

Description

Link Attributes Panel

Name

Enter a unique name for the new link. The link name is a free-format string, up to 256 characters.

Description

Enter a description of the new link. The link description is a free-format string, up to 256 characters.

 

 

Layer

Choose the link layer rate, defined as per ITU-T standard G.872 for multilayered optical networks. Values

 

are Physical, OTS, OMS, OCh, SONET/SDH, and Layer 2.

 

 

Layer Detail

Choose the bandwidth of the link as per the layer rate.

•For SONET links, the link rate is OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, or Layer 2, depending on the NE configuration.

•For SDH links, the link rate is STM1, STM-4, STM-16, STM-64, or Layer 2.

•For DWDM links, values are 10G ITU or 2.5G ITU.

•For OCH links, the link rate is 10G ITU or 2.5G ITU.

•For ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808 NEs, the link rate is OTS.

•For links between Not Managed/Other Vendor NEs, the link rate is Not Applicable.

•For links between Not Managed/Other Vendor NEs and CTC-based NEs, the rate is that of the CTC-based NE. Links between a SONET/SDH link and a Not Managed/Other Vendor NE depend on the link source. If the link source is the Not Managed/Other Vendor NE, the layer rate is Not Applicable. If the link source is the SONET/SDH link, the layer rate will be the layer rate of the SONET/SDH link.

•For links between MDS 9000 NEs and CTC-based NEs, the rate is that of the CTC-based NE. Links between a SONET/SDH link and an MDS 9000 NE depend on the link source. If the link source is the MDS 9000 NE, the layer rate is Not Applicable. If the link source is the SONET/SDH link, the layer rate will be the layer rate of the SONET/SDH link.

Protection

Specify the link protection: Unprotected, 1+1, Y-Cable (meaning 1+1 with Y-cable protection), 2-Fiber

 

BLSR/MS-SPRing, 4-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing, or Not Applicable. For CTC-based NEs, select

 

Unprotected, 1+1, or Y-Cable. For ONS 1580x NEs, the only selectable value is Unprotected. For links

 

between Not Managed/Other Vendor NEs, the link protection is Not Applicable. For links between Not

 

Managed/Other Vendor NEs and CTC-based NEs, the link protection will be that of the CTC-based NE.

 

For links between MDS 9000 NEs and CTC-based NEs, the link protection will be that of the CTC-based

 

NE.
