Configuring Service on an Eight-Port CESM

Configuring Service on an Eight-Port CESM

This section describes the steps for setting up a CESM and adding connections. The maximum number of connections is 248 on the MGX-CESM/B-8E1 and 192 on the MGX-CESM/B-T1. Use either the CLI or the Cisco WAN Manager application to set up a CESM and add connections. The following list shows the fundamental tasks and applicable CLI commands:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Optionally configure redundancy at the card level (addred and possibly addlink on the PXM)

Optionally modify resource partitions at the card level (cnfcdrscprtn)

Activate a physical line (addln) and optionally configure the line (cnfln)

Create logical ports for structured data transport on a physical line (addport)

Optionally modify resource partitions at the port level (cnfportrscprtn)

Add connections by using addcon (or addchan if NSAP addressing is necessary)

For CESM-related commands, see the list of service module commands at the beginning of the Cisco MGX 8850 Wide Area Edge Switch Command Reference. Also, each command description in the command reference lists related commands. For example, it shows display commands that relate to addition commands.

Configuring the Card, Lines, and Ports

This section describes how to configure parameters for the card, lines, and ports through the CLI. If you use the CiscoView application, refer to the CiscoView documentation. On the CLI, the command sequence is:

Step 1 addln <line number>

where line number is in the range 1–8. You can modify line characteristics with cnfln.

Step 2 Optionally execute cnfln to modify line characteristics from the defaults. (Use dspln or dsplns to check). The syntax for cnfln is:

cnfln <line_num> <line_code> <line_len> <clk_src> [E1-signaling]

•line_num is a line number in the range 1–8.

•line_code is a number that specifies the line coding: 2=B8ZS (T1), 3=HDB3 (E1), and 4=AMI (T1/E1)

•line_len is the line length: 10-15 for T1, 8 for E1 with SMB line module, 9 for E1 with RJ48 line module

•

•

clk_src is a number specifying the clock source: 1 for loop clock, 2 for local clock

E1-signalling specifies the E1 signaling. The possible entries are:

—CAS, which specifies CAS and no CRC

—CAS_CRC, which specifies CAS with CRC

—CCS, which specifies CCS and no CRC

—CCS_CRC, which specifies CCS with CRC

—CLEAR: CLEAR channel

MGX-FRSM-HS2, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, MGX-FRSM-2CT3 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology and infrastructure, providing solutions that drive innovation and efficiency for businesses worldwide. Among its diverse range of products, the MGX series stands out as a pivotal component for the network-centric era, especially with models like MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2. These modules are primarily designed for the MGX 8800 series routers, facilitating efficient traffic management and service delivery.

The MGX-FRSM-2CT3 is a versatile module that supports two T3 connections. It allows network operators to seamlessly integrate high-capacity circuit-switched and packet-switched data on a unified platform. This versatility is crucial for service providers looking to enhance their bandwidth offerings while ensuring reliable performance across voice, video, and data applications.

In contrast, the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 module caters to operators needing E3 support. This feature allows for efficient data transport over a broader bandwidth, catering to European standards. The E3 configuration is vital for service providers operating in Europe or regions that utilize E3 technology prominently.

The MGX-FRSM-HS2 module is another significant offering, designed to accommodate the increasing demand for high speed and high capacity. It supports higher-order TDM and packet technologies, enabling operators to implement advanced services such as VoIP, video conferencing, and other data-intensive applications. This module provides scalability and reliability, making it ideal for next-generation networks.

All three modules leverage Cisco’s advanced switching and routing technology, ensuring optimal performance and minimal latency. The integration of Quality of Service (QoS) features allows network administrators to prioritize traffic types effectively, ensuring mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Additionally, these MGX modules support various signaling protocols, enabling interoperability with existing network infrastructure while also facilitating the migration to newer technologies. They play an essential role in modernizing telecom networks, allowing service providers to adapt to changing market demands and technology landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2 modules are key components for businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their robust support for T3 and E3 technologies, high scalability, and advanced QoS features, these modules empower service providers to deliver a wide range of services, drive innovation, and meet the growing demands of users in an increasingly connected world.
