2.2.1 Network Planning
Figure 2-1 shows the network planning of basic NE data.
2-1

Figure 2-1 Network Planning of Basic NE Data
l NE 1 serves as the root node. NEs 1–6 form a microwave ring. The Ethernet service
and microwave NMS packets are sent out from NE 1 to the switch and then to the
EMS and RNC respectively. The TDM service is sent out from NE 1 to the MUX and
then to the upstream DDF.
l ZXMW NR8250 (V2.03.03) supports L2 and L3 DCN. Normally, L2 DCN, which
means all NEs are in the same network segment, is used. Microwave EMS uses
10.169.221.0/26. Mircrowave NMS VLAN ID is 2000 and the default gateway address
is 10.169.221.1. The IP address planning of each IDU is shown in Figure 2-1.
l RCUB uses 1+0 non-protection configuration. PM uses 1+1 protection configuration.
l The ring uses 2+0 XPIC configuration and RMUC or RMUH boards. The NE6–NE7
link uses 1+1 HSB configuration and RMUD boards. The NE7 downlink link uses 1+0
non-protection configuration and the RMUD board.
l On NE1, the RTUB board is configured to interconnect MUX. On NE1, NE2, NE3,
NE6, and NE7, RTUHE boards are configured to access local services.

In Figure 4-1, the TDM service data planning is as follows:

1. The equipment room where the RNC (NE1) is located serves as the central equipment
room. The microwave backbone ring consists of six microwave hops. The E1 service
is configured with SNCP in the backbone ring.
2. The E1 service uniformly uses the balanced 120 ohm impedance. The site is
configured with a DDF, through which the BBU is connected to the IDU.
3. Each BBU is allocated with two E1 channels.
4. NE1’s 2E1 is directly connected to the MUX without mircrowave connection. NE7 has
three stations in the downlink direction, and there are totally nine stations (18E1) added
with the six stations from NE2 to NE7. NE1–NE6 form a ring network and uses SNCP.
5. The detailed E1 route plan of each NE is as follows:

Figure 5-1 shows the network planning of Ethernet data.
Figure 5-1 Network Planning of Ethernet Data
In Figure 5-1, Ethernet service data is planned as follows:

1. The BBU data service uses IP channels. The capacity of each site is 10 Mbps.
The sites use the NR8250 to accomplish the layer-2 switching function. The RNC
is configured with an L3 switch and connected to the RNC and microwave NE
management system.
2. NE1 is directly connected to the switch. There are three stations in the downlink
direction of NE7.
3. The connection to the station uses the Access-type GbE 2 interface of the RTUHE
board. The connection between NE1 and the switch uses the trunk-type GbE1
interface of the RTUHE board. The RTUHE board uses electrical interfaces.
4. The VLAN resource information is described in Table 5-1.

5. NE1–NE7 use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).

6. The aggregated ports use the PLA protocol (XPIC requires LACP or PLA configuration.
Take PLA as an example). The following five aggregated links are planned:
l NE1-NE2
l NE1–NE3
l NE2–NE4
l NE3–NE5

Figure 6-1 shows the network planning of clock data configuration.
Figure 6-1 Network Planning of Clock Data Configuration
In Figure 6-1, the Ethernet service requires time synchronization and the E1 service
requires frequency synchronization. The clock synchronization is implemented as follows:
l NE1 obtains 1588 clock from the GbE interface. NE1–NE7 are set to TC mode to
transparently transmit 1588 clock.
l NE1 obtains the physical clock signal from the first STM-1 of RTUB. Assume that the
switch can obtain the synchronous Ethernet clock signal, RTUHE’s second Ethernet
interface can obtain the synchronous Ethernet clock signal, and NE2–NE7 obtain the
physical clock synchronization signal through air interfaces. Note that to obtain the
synchronous Ethernet clock signal from the switch, the entire network must support
synchronous Ethernet clock.
l Clock ring protection is implemented within the ring network. NE1–NE6 enable the
extended SSM protocol. NE1 is configured as the node station.

8.1 Configuring the NE Name and IP Address

This procedure describes how to configure the NE name and IP address. The NE
name and IP address can identify an NE in a network. The NE IP address is used for
communication through Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP. After the NE name and
IP address are configured, users can manage the NE through the NMS/GbE interface on
the Radio Core Cross Unit B (RCUB) board.
Steps
1. In the left pane, select Setup > System > Parameter. The system parameter
configuration page is displayed, see Figure 8-1.

This parameter cannot be set to the following
values:
l IP addresses that start with 127 or 192.
An IP address that starts with 127 is a
loopback address of the host, that is, an IP
address used by the NE to send IP packets
to itself. It is used for network software tests
and local inter-process communication. An
IP address that starts with 192 is used for
LMT port debugging.
l Broadcast addresses
The IP addresses in which host ID consists
of all 1s are broadcast addresses. For
example, the broadcast address for
the 10.1.1.0 / 24 network segment is
10.1.1.255.
l Multicast addresses (from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255).
The NMS server cannot use the IP address of
the LMT interface.

8.6 Configuring the Work Mode

This procedure describes how to configure the operating mode, bandwidth, and modulation
mode of the equipment in accordance with the network planning.
A broader bandwidth indicates a higher modulation mode and a larger radio transmission
capacity but a lower system transceiving performance. The bandwidths for TDM services
and Ethernet services are allocated automatically in accordance with the traffic. This
feature increases the bandwidth utility.
Caution!
The configuration of work mode results in instantaneous service disconnection.
You need to configure the work mode at the remote end first, then, at the near end. Or, you
can select the remote synchronization mode (select Synchronize bandwidth to remote
NE.
Steps

8.7 Configuring ODU Parameters

This procedure describes how to set the Outdoor Unit (ODU) frequency parameters and
power parameters. To ensure normal communication, the ODU transmit power and receive
power of the local end must match those of the remote end respectively.
Context
Note:
l The configured ODU transmit power must guarantee that the upper and lower
thresholds of the ATPC function and the MSE value of the ACM function are within
the allowed range.
l For SRU ODUs, set the transmit power by referring to the frequency range and duplex
spacing. Avoid using edge frequencies.
Steps
page is displayed. In the RF Parameter Configuration area, configure Frequency
Parameter (kHz) and Power Parameter (dBm), see Figure 8-15.
8-13

Figure 8-15 RF Parameter Configuration Area
2. Select ODU Type. In accordance with the microwave link plan, enter the frequencies
of the master ODU and slave ODU in TX Frequency Configuration text box. The
transmit frequency must be within the range of TX Frequency Range and the transmit
frequency at the local end must be equal to the receive frequency at the remote end.
3. When ODU Type is SRU, select the duplex spacing of the master/slave ODU from the
T/R Spacing drop-down list.
When ODU Type is Others, configure RX Frequency Configuration. The value must
be within the TX Frequency Range.
4. In the TX Power Configuration text box, enter the transmit power of the master ODU
and the slave ODU. The configured transmit power must be within the range which
is set by TX Power Range. If the configured transmit power is out of the range, the
RMUC/RMUD will be disconnected from the remote end.

6. Click Apply.
8-14

8.8 Configuring ATPC Function

The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) function enables the system to adjust the
transmission power at the local end in accordance with the receive power at the remote
end. If the receiving level at the remote end is not within the ATPC adjustment range, the
transmission power needs to be adjusted to enable the receive power at the remote end
to be within the adjustment range. If the transmission power of ODU is adjusted to the
threshold value but the receive power at the remote end is not within the ATPC adjustment
range, the transmission power does not need to be adjusted.
Context
l During the process of exchanging microwave link's antennas, ATPC Switch should be
set to OFF, and the transmission power of ODU should be set to an appropriate value.
l The ATPC function can be accomplished only when it is enabled on both ends.
l After the ATPC function is disabled, the transmission power of ODU return to the value
before ATPC is enabled. That may lead to instantaneous link disconnection.
Steps
1. In the left pane, select Radio Link > Radio Link Configuration. The radio link
configuration page displayed, see Figure 8-16.
Figure 8-16 ATPC Parameter Configuration
2. Configure the ATPC Parameters. For a description of the parameters, refer to Table
8-4.
Table 8-4 ATPC Parameters
ATPC Enable l OFF OFF Enables or disables the ATPC function. With
l ON this function, the system transmission power
can be adjusted within a certain range according
to the remote end receiving level.
8-15

High -70 to -30 -40 The ATPC function automatically adjusts the
Threshold transmission power at the local end according
(dBm) to the receive level at the remote end.
If the receive level at the remote end is not within
the ATPC adjustment range, it is necessary
to adjust the transmission power to make the
receive level at the remote end be within the
adjustment range.
If the ODU transmission power is adjusted
to the power threshold but the receive level
at the remote end is not within the ATPC
adjustment range, there is no need to adjust the
transmission power.
Low -70 to -30 -65 Sets the lowest ATPC transmission power. This
Threshold parameter is the minimum receive level of the
(dBm) remote end.
Min Tx Power –20 to 40 -4 Sets the lowest transmission power at the local
(dBm) end. It ensures that the receiving condition
at the remote end is not affected by signal
degradation due to low transmission power at
the local end during ATPC adjustment.
The priority of this parameter is higher than
ATPC low threshold.
Max Tx –20 to 40 28 Sets the highest transmission power at the local

Power (dBm) end. It ensures that other links can operate
properly and are not affected by high ODU
transmission power at the local end during
ATPC adjustment.
The priority of this parameter is higher than
ATPC high threshold.
3. Click Apply.
8.9 Configuring the ACM Function

The ACM function enables the device to use different modulation modes in accordance
with the current channel status, which is represented by the MSE value. This function
improves system transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization when the channel quality
is good. It also ensures link reliability of high priority services when the channel quality is
deteriorated.
8-16

Context
l During the process of exchanging microwave link's antennas, ACM Switch should be
set to OFF.
l The ACM function can be implemented only after it is enabled at both ends of the link.
l The change of ACM Switch status results in instantaneous link disconnection.
Steps

3. Click Apply.
8.10 Configuring the PLA Function

When the PLA function is configured, it can work with the XPIC function in 2+0 protection
mode, to expand the air interface capacity and achieve load balance and link backup.
PLA refers to a function that distributes and aggregates the data packets in two links. PLA
is lossy switching, which means that packet loss may occur during the procedure that a
link is restored from out-of-lock.
For the two devices in 2+0 configuration, one is configured to the master device and the
other is configured to the slave device. Data distribution and aggregation are implemented
on the master device, while the slave device only provides the branch and backup links.
Prerequisite
l Before configuring the PLA function, you need to configure aggregation direction to
two through four.

the value can be 7 M, 14 M, 28 M, 40 M, or 56 M.
l Protection mode configuration:
Protection mode needs to be configured for 2+2 configuration. Three protection
modes are available: HSB, SD, and FD. When faults occur, the transmit unit performs
protection by using the 1+1 protection mode.
l ODU parameters configuration
à 2+0 configuration: During ODU parameter configuration, the RMUC/RMUH

boards in the same group need to be configured with the same ODU transmit
frequency and power.
à 2+2 configuration: During ODU parameter configuration, the four RMUC/RMUH
boards need to be configured with the same transmit power and frequency if
the protection type is HSB or SD. If the protection mode is FD, slot 5 and slot 7
need to be configured with the same transmit frequency and power. This is also
applicable to slot 6 and slot 8.

Hold-off Time 0–30 0 If the current channel is

(10ms) faulty and not restored in the
configured Hold-off Time, the
service is switched to another
channel. Frequent switchover
should be avoided during the
Hold-off-Time.
Note:
l To avoid Ethernet service loops at the air interface, the N+1 MUs in the
protection group should be contained in the same PLA or LACP protection
group.
l The N+1 protection group is exclusive with the MU 1+1 protection. The MUs
configured with 1+1 protection cannot be added to the N+1 protection group.
l The N+1 protection is exclusive with the SNCP protection:
à The MUs in the N+1 protection group do not support SNCP route
configuration.
à The MUs that have been configured as the working source or protection
source of the SNCP route cannot be added to the N+1 protection group.
l The channel numbers of the same air interface link must be the same in the
N+1 protection groups at the two ends of the air interface. For example, if
the MU with transmit unit 5 at the local end is connected with the MU with
transmit unit 6 at the remote end, the two MUs must be configured with the
same channel number in the two protection groups.
2. Configure N+1 switchover.

the Force working channel2 to protection channel and Force channel3 to
protection channel commands are invalid. You need to clear the Force
working channel1 to protection channel command, and then use the Force
working channel2 to protection channel or Force channel3 to protection
channel command.
l The Clear command clears the current switchover command and the system
returns to the auto switchover status.
You can send a switchover command through the LMT. This command has a
higher priority than the switchover caused by faults.
If the protection channel is faulty, the switchover commands are invalid

7. BPDU Configuration
BPDU tunneling is a Layer 2 tunneling technology. It enables layer 2 protocol packets
from geographically dispersed customer networks to be transparently transmitted over
specific QinQ channel across a service provider network. Currently, the following L2
protocols support tunnel transparent transmission: STP, GVRP, GMRP, E_LMI, Port
Authentication, LLDP, PTP Peer Delay, EFM ,LACP, SSM, MMRP, and MVRP
The principle is as follows:
l After receiving a L2 protocol packet from the customer network, PE A at one end
of the service provider network encapsulates the packet, replaces the destination
MAC address with a specific multicast MAC address, and forwards the packets to
the service provider network.
8-54

l The encapsulated L2 protocol packet, called BPDU Tunnel packet, is forwarded

to PE B at the other end of the service provider network, which de-encapsulates
the packet, restores the original destination MAC address, and then sends the
packet to the customer network connected to PE B.

8.23 Configuring VLAN

8.23.1 Configuring Port Information
This procedure describes how to configure port VLAN types, such as Access, Trunk,
Hybrid, Customer, Provider, and UserDefine.
Port Type Description
Access An Access port is used to connect the VLAN switch with a device that cannot
identify VLAN tags. This port type transmits only frames without VLAN tags
and can be associated with only one VLAN.
Trunk A Trunk port is used to connect two devices that can identify VLAN tags and
transmit services of multiple VLANs. This port type transmits only frames with
VLAN tags and can bear multiple VLANs.
Hybrid A Hybrid port can transmit frames with or without tags. However, for a specific
VLAN, the frames transmitted by this port type must be all with tags or all
without tags.
8-60

Port Type Description
Customer A Customer port is used to identify an inner VLAN tag or untagged packet, and
add a specified outer VLAN tag. The frames whose TPID of the inner VLAN
tag is consistent with the setting will be discarded.
Provider A Provided port is used to identify the outer VLAN tags that are consistent with
the configured TPID and transmit them. At the same time, the inconsistent
frames are discarded.
UserDefine A UserDefine port is used for VLAN Tag in VLAN Tag (QinQ). It can be
configured flexibly based on the actual requirement.
QinQ allows adding a VLAN tag to the original 802.1Q tag packet. The original
tag becomes the inner tag and the VLAN is marked as CVLAN. The added tag
becomes the outer tag and the VLAN is marked as SVLAN.
Steps
1. In the left pane, select ETH > VLAN > Port Info Configuration. The port information
configuration page is displayed. See Figure 8-70.
Figure 8-70 Port Information Configuration Page

8.24 Configuring QoS

Configuration Item Description
Ingress Traffic classification Traffic classification is to classify packets into different priorities
or services.
For the configuration procedures, refer to 8.24.1 Configuring
Queue Priority and 8.24.3 Configuring the Access Control Policy
(ACL).
Traffic policing Traffic policing is to limit the traffic entering a network to the
allowed range. If the packet traffic of some connection is too
large, traffic policing will discard the packet or reset its priority to
protect network resources and the operator’s investment.
For the configuration procedure, refer to 8.24.2 Configuring
Access Rate Control (CAR).
8-66

Configuration Item Description
Egress Congestion The congestion avoidance technology is normally used at the

avoidance and network bottleneck to monitor network traffic load and avoid
management potential congestions. The commonly used congestion avoidance
mechanisms are tail drop, Random Early Detection (RED), and
Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED).
Congestion will occur on the interface where the arrival rate of
packets is faster than the sending rate. The queue scheduling
technology is always used to solve network congestion.
For the configuration procedures, refer to 8.24.4 Configuring
Queue Management, 8.24.6 Configuring the Congestion
Management Policy, and 8.24.7 Configuring Packet Aging Time
for Different Queues.
Traffic shaping Traffic shaping is to limit the traffic of a packet type from a port so
that packets can be sent at an even speed;
Buffer and token bucket are normally used to implement traffic
shaping. The token bucket controls the rate for sending packets.
The packets exceeding the rate limit are cached in the buffer and
waits to be sent as scheduled.
For the configuration procedure, refer to 8.24.5 Configuring the
Flow Rate Limit Policy.
8.24.1 Configuring Queue Priority

8.24.6 Configuring the Congestion Management Policy

This section describes how to set the congestion management (CM) policy. Two CM
policies are supported:
l Tail Drop: It is the default congestion management policy. Due to limited capacity of
the tail drop chip, the packets exceeding the capacity are discarded directly.
8-80

l Random Early Detection: This policy supports flexible configuration. You can set
the threshold and probability of dropping packets for each queue color. Among the
three colors, (yellow, red, and green), yellow queues have the same threshold and
probability as red queues.

8.24.8 Configuring DEI& Priority Egress

Sometimes, users hope that the internal queue scheduling and discard priority can be
applied to the next hop (through the PRI field and DEI field of the outer layer SVLAN).
Sometimes, users hope that the VLAN and QoS domains of the outer layer are not
modified. To meet the users’ demands flexibly, the system supports a function to control
the DEL and priority of the egress packets. The default internal queue scheduling and
discard priority will not be applied to the next hop.
Prerequisite
The queue priority is configured. Otherwise, the default priority is mapped and takes effect.
Steps
1. In the left pane, select ETH > QoS > DEI& Priority Egress. The DEI & Priority
Egress Modification page is displayed, see Figure 8-88.
Figure 8-88 DEI & Priority Egress Modification Page
2. Select a port and click Modify. The DEI & Priority Egress Modification dialog box

8.25 Configuring the LLDP Function

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a layer-2 Ethernet protocol. The NE enabling
the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) function can exchange messages with its
neighbors through sending and receiving LLDP packets. Also, the local and neighbor
messages are stored in the Management Information Base (MIB). The NMS can access
the MIB through SNMP, obtain NE information. Users can query related information on
the pages of local information and neighbor information.
In V2.03.03, the LLDP function is enabled by default. The default port is added and
enabled.
Steps
1. LLDP global configurations:

packets.
Hello Time (s) 5–32768 30 Specifies the period for sending the Hello
packet for all ports.
Tx Delay (s) 1–1/4 trans- 2 Specifies the minimum interval between

mission pe- continuous LLDP packet transmissions due
riod to data changes in local MIB database.
When the local MIB database has changes,
it immediately sends an LLDP packet and
this timer is enabled. If the MIB database
is changed again before the timer expires,
packet transmission is stopped.
Tx Holdtime 2–10 4 Used to calculate the TTL value of the

transmitted packets to determine the living
time of the packets. The calculation formula
is:
TTL = min(65535,(lldpMessageTxInterval *
lldpMessageTxHoldMultiplier)).
If no packet is received from the neighbor
for a period specified by the TTL value,
the system does not save the neighbor
information.
Restart Delay 1–10 2 Specifies the time for waiting for the local
(s) LLDP port to change from being prohibited
to re-initialized. It can avoid frequent port
initialization due to frequent switching of
operating modes.
Fast Notice 1–10 3 Specifies the number of packets to be

Number continuously transmitted.
When a port is enabled to send packets
or discovers a new neighbor device (that
is, receives a new LLDP packet and the
information about the device sending the
packet is not saved on the local computer),
the port automatically starts the quick
transmitting mechanism. The mechanism
enables the system to shorten the time for
transmitting the LLDP packet to one second

8.26 Configuring the LACP Function

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is based on the IEEE802.3ad standard. It is
used to implement dynamic link aggregation. It allows binding multiple physical interfaces
into a logical interface. The physical interfaces form a redundant and backup relationship
and implement load sharing.
The LACP function enables multiple physical links to be bound into a logical link and form
a link aggregation group. It accomplishes the following functions:
l Increasing bandwidth: The width of the bound physical links is the sum of the
bandwidths of all physical links in the link aggregation group.
l Improving system stability and availability: The aggregation link is available even if
one physical link is disconnected.
l Sharing load: The aggregation link sends data in accordance with a policy to achieve
load balancing.
Prerequisite

MP ID 1–8191 1 Uniquely identifies an MP in an MD of an MA.

MP types are LMEP, RMEP, and MIP.
All operations related to the CFM protocol are
initiated and processed by MPs.
MP Type l LMEP LMEP l LMEP: The Ethernet OAM depends on

l MIP the LMEPs at both ends to check channel
l RMEP connectivity. LMEPs are where all
Ethernet OAM packets are initiated and
terminated. After an LMEP is successfully
created, users can check the connectivity
of a channel segment within an MA.
l RMEP: The purpose of adding RMEPs
is to determine that the OAM packet is
originated by an MEP within the same MA
when the LMEP processes OAM packets,
and also determine that the MEP ID is
different.
l MIP: An MIP does not actively send CFM
packets, detect or report faults. It only
replies the received CFM packets and
forwards them.
MP Priority 0–7 7 Specifies the priority of the packets that are

sent by the MP.
MP Direction l DOWN DOWN Specifies the MP function type.

l UP UP: The system performs detection in the
internal switching direction.
DOWN: The system performs detection in the
line direction.
MP Status l Enable Enable Enables or disables the MP. If this parameter

8.29 Configuring CFM-CSF

The CSF provides a function that indicates the input signal failure to the client layer in
the opposite MEP. When the CSF function of an MEP is activated, the MEP sends CSF
packets to the opposite MEP when the client signal failures are detected within the statistic
period. The CSF packets can be handled by the MEP. This function is applicable to the
scenario where the client does not support ETH-CC or ETH-AIS.
Based on the MEP disable/enable, the CSF function can only supports point-to-point
Ethernet links, such as IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE802.1ad or point-to-point networks strictly
restricted through STP. Besides, only UP MEP can support this function, and the Down
MEP cannot. There are two related messages as follows:
l Client Loss of Signal (C-LOS)
l Client Defect Clear Indication (C-DCI)
When the receiving and sending faults of the physical port are detected, a C-LOS message
is sent to the opposite end. Upon receiving C-LOS, the opposite device generates the
corresponding alarm that is not cleared until the above messages are not received within
3.5 periods, or a C-DCI message is received.
Prerequisite
l The OAM CSF detection for the client is enabled.
l MD and MA are configured.

8.30 Configuring ERPS

This procedure describes how to configure the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS
2008 version) protocol to ensure normal communication between devices. This protocol
can block the redundant links in a single ring network and prevent broadcast storms. The
single ring means that all devices in the active link belongs to the same ring. ERPS enables
rapid response to link faults and provides short service interruption time. When the active
link fails, the corresponding ports are blocked and the packets on all VLANs are switched
to the standby link.
Prerequisite

8.31 Configuring ERPS2.0

This procedure describes how to configure the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS
2008 version) protocol to ensure normal communication between devices. This protocol
can block redundant links in a single ring network and prevent broadcast storms. ERPS
enables a rapid response to link faults and requires only short service interruption time.
If the active link fails, the corresponding ports are blocked and the packets are switched
to the standby link. After the active link is restored, the services are switched back to the
active link.
ERPS 2010 version introduces the concept of multiple rings and multiple instances based
on ERPS 2008 version. It defines VLAN group as a set of one or multiple VLANs. An
ERPS instance is defined as a protocol entity that protects a VLAN group on a physical
8-111

ring. All ERPS Instances are independent of one another. They run the ERPS protocol
separately. By blocking different standby links, the ERPS 2.0 protocol implements load
balancing and link protection for different VLANs on the link.

8.32 Configuring ELPS

The Ethernet Line Protection Switching (ELPS) function provides end-to-end protection
for the VLAN-based point-to-point Ethernet services. Based on ITU G.8031, the ELPS
function ensures carrier-class (50 ms) Ethernet switching, and supports the port-based
and VLAN-based protection, that is, the QinQ tunnel-based protection. The number of
protection groups supported by this function is 12 for both of NR8250 and NR8120 devices.
Prerequisite
l The ports where the working channel and protection channel are located are
configured with Ethernet OAM.
l For MA configuration, the CCM interval is set to 3.3 ms or 10 ms. The sending intervals
of the working channel and protection channel are consistent, and the VLAN is a
single-layer VLAN.
l For MP configuration, the MP type is set to Down MP, and ELPS is enabled.
Context
ITU G.8031 is a line protection switching specification defined by ITU-T for VLAN-based
Ethernet. In this protection mechanism, all working resources are assigned with the
corresponding protection resources, such as channels and bandwidth. Compared with
the spanning tree protection defined by IEEE, this protection, defined by ITU G.8031,
supports network resource switching rapidly and easily in a predictable way, and is easier
for the operator to effectively plan the network, query the network state, and achieve
carrier-class operations.
This specification describes 1+1 unidirectional switching, 1+1 bidirectional switching, 1:1
bidirectional switching, and the APS protocol on which bidirectional switching depends.
Currently, only 1:1 bidirectional switching is supported.

8.33 Configuring the XSTP Function

In a layer-2 switching network, loops will cause packets to increment and reproduce. As
a result, broadcast storms occur, which occupy the effective broadband and make the
network unavailable. The spanning tree protocol is a layer-2 management protocol. It
blocks redundant links by using certain algorithms. It trims a ring network into a tree
network without loops to prevent broadcast storms. Three protocols have been developed
successively: STP, RSTP, and MSTP.
The RSTP introduces the handshaking mechanism on the basis of STP. When the topology
is changed, RSTP can enter the forwarding status without delay through a handshaking
action and achieve faster convergence.
The MSTP introduces multiple instances on the basis of fast convergence. It calculates
spanning trees individually through dividing VLANs to different instances. This enables
different VLANs to forward service data along their own link and achieves load balancing
between links.
XSTP stands for one type of STP. It can be STP, RSTP, or MSTP. This section uses MSTP
configuration as an example.

Hello Time (s) 1–10 2 Specifies the interval of

creating a network bridge
and sending BPDU.
Max Age (s) 6–40 20 Specifies the maximum

age of a BPDU. Once a
packet passes through
one-hop device, the
Message Age value of the
packet will increase. If
the Message Age value
exceeds the time set by
this parameter, the port will
not handle this packet.
Max Hops 6–40 20 Specifies the maximum of

hops of the MST domain.
Once a packet passes
through one-hop device,
the CIST Remaining hops
value of the packet will
increase. If the CIST
Remaining hops value
exceeds the time set by
this parameter, the port will
not handle this packet. The
maximum of hops of the
MST domain restricts the
scale of the MST domain.
Forward Delay (s) 4–30 15 Forward Delay is used for

the bridge state transition.
The network will perform
the spanning tree
calculation if a link is
faulty. The structure
of the spanning tree is
also changed. However,
the newly configured
information cannot be
transmitted to the whole
network. If the new
root port and specified
port forward the data
immediately, the path
8-122

loopback will occur.

Therefore, a state
transition mechanism
is used. A middle state is
required before the new
root port and specified
port forward the data.
After Forward Delay in
the middle state, the data
enters the forwarding
state (15–second). The
Forward Delay ensures
that the newly configured
information can be
transmitted to the whole
network.
MST Name – – Specifies the MST domain

name. Two switches

Note:
l If the role of the root port configured with Loop Guard is changed, the root
port changes to Discarding state and remains in the Discarding state without
forwarding packets. In this way, loops cannot be formed in the network.
l For the port configured as Root Guard, the port role can only be the specified
port. Once the port receives a configuration message with higher priority, the
status changes to Discarding and the ports do not forward packets, which also
means the port link is disconnected. If no configuration messages with higher
priority are received in a long period, the port restores to the original state.

8.34 Configuring OSPF

For the NR8250, OSPF only serves the NMS channel. The VLAN attribute of the
configured OSPF interface must include NMS VLAN.
Context
The OSPF configuration principle is as follows:
8-131

l If the Ethernet air interface is used to implement OSPF, only the area ID of the
interface needs to be configured. Other parameters use the defaults. Because OSPF
configurations can be propagated through the air interface, the OSPF configuration
on one device can take effect on other devices at neighbor hops. In this case, in
initial state, you only need to configure OSPF on one device.
l If a panel interface is used to implement OSPF, the IP address and mask of the
interface must be configured. Also, the interface must be configured in the same
network segment of the device to be directly connected.
Steps
1. Configure the OSPF instance.
a. In the left pane, select Routing > OSPF > Instance Configuration. The OSPF
default instance configuration page is displayed, see Figure 8-121.
Figure 8-121 OSPF Default Instance Configuration Page
b. Configure the default OSPF instance. For a description of the parameters, refer
to Table 8-48.
Table 8-48 OSPF Default Instance Parameters
OSPF Instance - 1 Uniquely identifies an OSPF instance. An

ID OSPF process is also called an OSPF
instance. This parameter
The equipment only supports a single
instance. This parameter is reserved for
system expansion of multiple instances.
In the future, multiple different OSPF
processes can be operating on the same
router, and they are mutually independent.
This parameter is a local concept, and it
does not affect packet switching among
other routers. Therefore, packets switching
can be performed among different routers
even if the OSPF Instance IDs are different.
8-132

Route interaction between different OSPF

processes is the actual route interaction
between different route protocols. An
interface of a router only belongs to an
OSPF process.
Router ID - 0.0.0.0, A 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a

otherwise, OSPF protocol calculation is not
performed for the instance.
Default cost 1– 20 Sets the cost of sending packets from

16,777,215 an interface. The parameter value is the
distance in the link status. In Router-LSA
of the router, the parameter value is
broadcasted as the link distance. The
interface output distance must be larger
than 0. If the interface is not configured
with this parameter, the parameter is set to
the value of the Default cost parameter in

255.255.255 OSPF interface is connected to belongs. One
port can only belong to one OSPF area.
Interface IP - 0.0.0.0 Sets the IP address of an interface.

It is a unique value in the entire network. In a
P2P network, the IP address of an interface
is not needed. The user does not need to
configure this parameter.

Mask .255 address. It is also called network/subnet
mask.
Users can get the network IP address through
the AND operation on the IP interface address
and the IP interface mask.
IP interface mask is not defined inP2P
networks and virtual channels. In such
networks, IP network is not configured.
Even if IP addresses are configured, the IP
addresses at the two ends of the network are
mutually independent.
Interface 1–65535 1 Sets the cost of sending packets from an

cost interface. The parameter value is the distance
in the link status. In Router-LSA of the router,
the parameter value is broadcasted as the
link distance.
The parameter value must be always larger
than 0.
Interface 0–255 1 When two routers that access the network

priority attempt to become DR, the router with higher
priority succeeds first.
If the two routers have the same priority, the
one with larger router ID succeeds first.
A router whose priority is 0 cannot become
DR.
