Configuring Patch Connections
To configure patch connections between OADM module s within the same shelf, use th e follow ing global
configuration commands:
Note If you correctly patch your OADM modules, patch command configuration is not necessary for the
signal to pass from the client to the trunk fiber. However, without correct patch command
configuration, CDP is unable to locate the wdm interfaces that connect to the trunk fiber and discove r
the topology neighbors. For more information on network monitoring , see th e “C onfiguring CDP”
section on page 9-3.
Example
The following example shows how to configure the patch connections:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# patch thru 0/0 thru 0/1
Switch(config)# patch wave 0 oscfilter 0/0
Switch(config)# patch wave 1 oscfilter 0/1
Switch(config)# patch wavepatch 4/0/0 filter 0/0/1
Switch(config)# patch wavepatch 4/0/1 filter 0/1/1

Displaying Patch Connections

To display the patch connections, use the following privileged EXEC command:
Command Purpose
patch thru slot1/subcard1 thru slot2/subcard2 Configures the patch connection between two
add/drop OADM modules in different chassis slots.
patch wavepatch slot1/subcard1/port1 filter
slot2/subcard2/port2
or
patch filter slot1/subcard1/port1 wavepatch
slot2/subcard2/port2
Configures the patch connection between a 10-GE
trunk card and a OADM module.
patch wave slot/subcard oscfilter slot/subcard
or
patch oscfilter slot/subcard wave slot/subcard
Connection between the OSC wave interface and the
oscfilter interface on the OADM module in the same
chassis slot.
Command Purpose
show patch [detail] Displays the patch connections.
