4.1.1.1.1Interface indexes (ifIndex).

A unique value, greater than zero number will be assigned to each interface. The following ifIndex scheme was developed by a committee to solve a general stack hierarchy and it is shown in Figure 1-2:

R R C C S S L P

P P

Figure 1-2. ifIndex Scheme

Where:

-RR: Reserved for future use.

-CC: Chassis number from 1..99. For the GranDSLAM R3.2, this value will always be 1, identifying the 8820 or the 8620 chassis.

-SS: Slot number from 1..99. For the GranDSLAM R3.2, this value will range from 1 through 20.

-Slot 00 will have a special meaning on the GranDSLAM 3.0. Slot 00 will be used for the interfaces contained in the SCP cards.

-L: Layer number associated in the interface stack in Table 1-7, Interface Stack.

-PPP: Port/Interface number from 1..999.

The value 0 will be used as a special case in any of the above fields to denote N/A.

The following table shows the assigned ifIndexes to be used for the GranDSLAM R3.2 product. In the table, the DSL ports are enumerated from 1-48, with the Layer field set to 1. The product will support 2 DSL Channels (Interleave, Fast) per DSL ports, that make a total of 96 channels numbered from 1-96 with the Layer field set to 2. Similarly, their corresponding DSL ATM links will be numbered from 1-96, but with the Layer field set to 3. In the case of the WAN ports, the number starts at 901 for the first T1/E1or OC3 link and increments up to the max number of WAN ports supported. When some of these DS1 are aggregated to form an IMA Group, the first IMA group starts at 910, but with the Layer field set to 4. Similarly, the ATM links associated with the DS1 port will carry the same starting number as the physical interface but with the Layer Field set to 3, which corresponds to the ATM layer in Table 1-7, Interface Stack. Finally, other ports dedicated to management of the device such as Ethernet ports and async ports will have ifIndexes starting at 801 for the first port, and so on.

The suffix ‘cc’ indicates the chassis number where the interface is instantiated. The chassis number for the 8820 or the 8620 will be 1 for the GranDSLAM R3.2.

The suffix ‘ss’ indicates the slot number where the interface is instantiated. For the GranDSLAM R3.2, this number corresponds to the physical position where the associated module is located in the 8820 or 8620 chassis.

For the GranDSLAM R3.2, the value ss=’00’ have a special meaning. A logical slot number of 00 will be used for those interfaces contained and accessible in the SCP cards. Therefore, these interfaces will be independent and remain contant regardless of which SCP is in charge. However, the internal software may require that the corresponding slot based ifIndexes in the SCP be also supported.

8620, 8820 specifications

The Paradyne 8620 and Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM are advanced DSLAM devices designed to provide high-speed broadband access over existing copper lines. This installation guide will outline the main features, technologies, and characteristics of these powerful units.

The Paradyne 8620 is engineered to support various DSL technologies, including ADSL, ADSL2+, and VDSL. This versatility allows operators to deploy services tailored to the needs of their customers, enabling data rates of up to 50 Mbps downstream, making it an ideal choice for meeting increasing bandwidth demands. The Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM shares many similarities, focusing on providing enhanced service delivery for both residential and business users.

One of the key features of the GranDSLAM series is its modular architecture. Both models support up to 48 subscriber line interfaces in a single chassis, which provides significant scalability. Operators can seamlessly increase capacity by adding additional cards to accommodate growth. The devices are designed for easy deployment and management, equipped with an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies configuration and monitoring tasks.

Both units also feature advanced management capabilities, including support for SNMP and TR-069 protocols. This allows service providers to manage and provision devices remotely, significantly reducing operational costs and improving service reliability. The GranDSLAM models can also provide detailed diagnostic information, helping operators quickly identify and troubleshoot issues.

The Paradyne and Hotwire series ensure interoperability with various customer premises equipment, enabling service providers to offer bundled services such as voice, video, and data over the same connection. This capability is enhanced by the units’ ability to support VLANs and QoS features, ensuring that high-priority traffic receives the necessary bandwidth.

In addition to performance, the 8620 series is built with energy efficiency in mind. By utilizing power-saving features, these units help reduce overall operational costs while still providing reliable service.

Overall, the Paradyne 8620 and Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM are robust solutions for service providers looking to deliver high-speed broadband services. Their modular design, advanced management capabilities, and support for multiple DSL technologies make them an excellent choice for today’s demanding telecommunications environment. With these advantages, operators can effectively meet customer needs while preparing for future growth and technology advancements.
