2.3 LAG
2.1 Configuration Overview

NOTE: This document uses the term preprovisioning in the context of preparing or
preconfiguring entities such as ports, and interfaces, prior to initialization. These
entities can be installed but not enabled. When the entity is in a no-shutdown state
(administratively enabled), then the entity is considered to be provisioned.
2.2 Ports
Ports are pre-provisioned during initialization of the node. Besides the physical ports,
the node auto-creates a single instance of a virtual port and a single instance of a
multicast port. The intent of the virtual port is highlighted in the FD 100/320Gbps NT
and FX NT IHub Services Guide. The intent of the multicast ports is highlighted in the
FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT IHub Router Configuration and Protocols Guide
(PIM section).
All ports have dot1q encapsulation type. No other encapsulation types are
supported. Port default MTU size is 9212 (without FCS).
2.2.1 Port Type

Ports are qualified as one of the following types:
• access
• network
• hybrid
Port Features FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT IHub Interface Guide
2.2.1.1 Access Ports

There are basically two flavors of access ports:
• Access ports are used for customer-facing traffic on which services are
configured. If a Service Access Port (SAP) is to be configured on the port, it must
be configured as an access port.
• In order to support VLAN services on network-facing ports, such ports will also be
defined as “access ports”. The reason is that SAPs will be configured on these
ports in order to provide for IP services on top of the VLAN service.
When a port is configured in access mode, one or more services can be configured
on the port depending on the encapsulation value.
2.2.1.2 Network Ports

Network ports participate in the service provider transport or infrastructure network.
ISAM supports MPLS on network ports.
2.2.2 Hybrid Ports

Hybrid ports support the features of both access and network ports. They can't be
used for customer facing traffic.
2.2.3 Port Category

A port is defined to have a category residential or regular. The category determines
the way in which MAC learning is dealt with and the rules for user-to-user
communication. For more information, see the FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT IHub
Services Guide.
An access port can have category residential or regular. For some ports, this
category can be modified. Network-facing ports that are used as interface towards a
subtending ISAM have to be configured with category residential.
In a public access network, residential access ports are connected to subtending
ISAMs or LTs and are considered untrusted.
Network ports, hybrid ports, and the virtual port are always of category regular.
2.2.4 Port Rate limiting

For a physical port, the Egress Rate limiting can be configured on a per-port basis by
specifying a rate and optionally a burst size.
By default, there is no rate limiting.
2.2.5 Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

The IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) standard defines protocol
and management elements that are suitable for advertising information to stations
attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN (emulation) for the purpose of populating
physical or logical topology and device discovery management information
databases.
The protocol facilitates the identification of stations connected by IEEE 802
LANs/MANs, their points of interconnection, and access points for management
protocols.
Note that LAN emulation and logical topology wording is applicable to customer
bridge scenarios (enterprise/carrier of carrier) connected to a provider network
offering a transparent LAN emulation service to their customers.
It helps the customer bridges to detect an erroneous connection by an intermediate
provider by offering a view of the customer topology where the provider service is
represented as a LAN interconnecting these customer bridges.
The IEEE 802.1ab standard defines a protocol that:
• Advertises connectivity and management information about the local station to
adjacent stations on the same IEEE 802 LAN.
• Receives network management information from adjacent stations on the same
IEEE 802 LAN.
• Operates with all IEEE 802 access protocols and network media.
• Establishes a network management information schema and object definitions
that are suitable for storing connection information about adjacent stations.
• Provides compatibility with a number of MIBs as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 LLDP Internal Architecture
Network operators must be able to discover the topology information in order to

detect and address network problems and inconsistencies in the configuration.
Moreover, standard-based tools can address the complex network scenarios where
multiple devices from different vendors are interconnected using Ethernet interfaces.
Figure 2 MPLS Network Example
The example in Figure 2 shows an MPLS network that uses Ethernet interfaces in
the core or as an access/handoff interface to connect to different kinds of
Ethernet-enabled devices such as service gateways/routers, Q-in-Q switches,
DSLAMs or customer equipment.
IEEE 802.1ab LLDP running on each Ethernet interface between all the above
network elements may be used to discover the topology information.
2.2.5.1 LLDP Protocol Features

LLDP is a unidirectional protocol that uses the MAC layer to transmit specific
information related to the capabilities and status of the local device. Separately from
the transmit direction, the LLDP agent can also receive the same kind of information
for a remote device which is stored in the related MIB(s).
LLDP itself does not contain a mechanism for soliciting specific information from
other LLDP agents, nor does it provide a specific means for confirming the receipt of
information. LLDP allows the transmitter and the receiver to be separately enabled,
making it possible to configure an implementation so the local LLDP agent can either
transmit only or receive only, or can transmit and receive LLDP information.
The information fields in each LLDP frame are contained in a LLDP Data Unit
(LLDPDU) as a sequence of variable-length information elements. Each of these
elements includes type, length, and value fields (known as TLVs), where:
• Type identifies what kind of information is being sent.
• Length indicates the length of the information string in octets.
• Value is the actual information that needs to be sent (for example, a binary bit map
or an alphanumeric string that can contain one or more fields).
Each LLDPDU contains four mandatory TLVs and can contain optional TLVs as
selected by the network management:
• Chassis ID TLV
• Port ID TLV
• Time To Live TLV
• Zero or more optional TLVs, as allowed by the maximum size of the LLDPDU
• End Of LLDPDU TLV
The chassis ID and the port ID values are concatenated to form a logical identifier
that is used by the recipient to identify the sending LLDP agent/port. Both the chassis
ID and the port ID values can be defined in a number of convenient forms. Once
selected however, the chassis ID/port ID value combination remains the same as
long as the particular port remains operable.
A non-zero value in the TTL field of the Time To Live TLV tells the receiving LLDP
agent how long all information pertaining to this LLDPDU's identifier will be valid. This
allows the receiving LLDP agent to automatically discard all the associated
information if the sender fails to update it in a timely manner. A zero value indicates
that any information pertaining to this LLDPDU's identifier is to be discarded
immediately.
2.3 LAG
Based on the IEEE 802.3ad standard, Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) can be
configured to increase the bandwidth available between two network devices,
depending on the number of links installed (from 1 to 16). LAG also provides
redundancy in the event that one or more links participating in the LAG fail. All
physical links in a given LAG links combine to form one logical interface.
Packet sequencing must be maintained for any given session. The used hashing
algorithm is based on the type of traffic transported to ensure that all traffic in a flow
remains in sequence while providing effective load sharing across the links in the
LAG.
LAGs must be statically configured or formed dynamically with Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). The optional marker protocol described in IEEE 802.3ad is
not implemented.
LAGs can be configured on ports of mode access, hybrid, or network, with category
regular or residential.
An LAG cannot be configured on ports connecting to LT boards, the virtual port or
the multicast port.
2.3.1 LAG Features

In addition to the mandated IEEE LAG implementation, Nokia’s solution has several
improvements including dynamic costing and LAG port threshold features. The
dynamic cost and LAG port threshold features can be enabled even if the second
node is not an ISAM.
• Dynamic cost
Dynamic cost can be enabled with the configure>lag dynamic-cost command or
by the action specified in the configure>lag port-threshold command.
If dynamic cost is enabled and the number of active links is greater than the port
threshold value (0-15), then the path cost is dynamically calculated whenever
there is a change in the number of active links regardless of the specified port
threshold action. If the port-threshold is met and the action is set to dynamic cost,
then the path cost is dynamically recalculated regardless of the global dynamic
cost configuration.
Enabling dynamic costing causes the physical link metrics used by OSPF to be
applied based on the operational or aggregate link bandwidth in the LAG that is
available at the time, providing the number of links that are up exceeds the
configured LAG port threshold value. If the number of available links falls below
the configured threshold, the configured threshold action determines if and at
what cost this LAG will be advertised.
For example, assume a single link in OSPF has an associated cost of 100 and the
LAG consists of four physical links. The cost associated with the logical link is 25.
If one link fails then the cost would automatically be adjusted to 33.
If dynamic cost is not configured then costing is applied based on the total number
of links configured. The cost would be calculated at 25. This will remain static
provided the number of links that are up exceeds the configured LAG threshold.
• LAG port threshold
The LAG port threshold feature allows configuration of the behavior, once the
number of available links in a LAG falls below or is equal to the specified
threshold. Two options are available:
• If the number of links available (up) in a LAG is less than the configured threshold,
then the LAG is regarded as operationally down.
For example, assume a LAG consists of eight physical links. The threshold is set to
four and dynamic costing is not configured. If the operational links is equal to or drops
below four, the link is regarded as operationally down until the number of operational
links is four or more.
• When the number of links available in a LAG is less than the configured threshold,
the LAG starts using the dynamic-cost allowing other nodes to adjust their routing
tables according to the revised costs. In this case, when the threshold is not crossed,
a fixed metric (all links operational) is advertised.
• Link-map-profile
Link-map-profile can be configured with the configure>lag>link-map-profile
<profile-id> command. A lag member port can be added to the link-map-profile
with the configure>lag>link-map-profile>link [port] [primary/secondary].
Link-map-profile failure-mode can be configured with
configure>lag>link-map-profile>failure-mode {per-link-hash | discard}. The
default failure-mode is per-link-hash. The link-map-profile configured lag can be
only associated with v-vpls service. When the lag is associated with v-vpls
service, the corresponding traffic can be pinned with the primary port of the
corresponding link-map-profile. If the primary port is not configured or operation
is down, traffic can be pinned with the secondary port, or else can take any other
free port in the lag. For a lag, a maximum of 16 link-map-profile can be created,
with profile ID ranging from 1 to 32. Only lag member ports can be added with
link-map-profile.
There are some restrictions for link-map-profile:
• the link-map-profile feature is not supported for the NANT-D board
• each port/LAG-link can associate with only one link-map-profile
• each V-VPLS can associate with only one link-map-profile SAP
• SAPs in LAG with link-map-profile(s) can only associate with V-VPLS service
• there is no per-link-hash fallback protection for pinned traffic when default-profile has
no ports
• when the default-profile has no ports, it is expected that non-pinned traffic will drop
• link-map-profile and sub-group configurations cannot coincide in a LAG
• link-map-profile cannot exist in a LAG that is in network mode, and network mode
cannot be configured in a LAG that has link-map-profile
• link-map-profile cannot exist in a LAG that is in hybrid mode, and hybrid mode cannot
be configured in a LAG that has link-map-profile
• link-map-profile cannot exist in a LAG that has local_nt_ports configured, and
local_nt_ports cannot be configured in a LAG that has link-map-profile
• link-map-profile is not permitted in a LAG that is configured as eth-ring SAP, and
eth-ring SAP cannot be configured in a LAG that has link-map-profile
• link-map-profile does not support the combination of active and standby ports in a
LAG, for FNIO-A
2.3.1.1 Configuring LAGs

LAG configuration guidelines include:
• Ports can be added or removed from the LAG while the LAG and its ports (other
than the port being removed) remain operational. When ports to and/or from the
LAG are added or removed, the hashing algorithm is adjusted for the new port
count.
• show commands display physical port statistics on a port-by-port basis or the
entire LAG can be displayed.
• LAG is supported on Ethernet ports.
• Ports of a particular LAG can be of different types but they must be the same
speed and duplex. To guarantee the same port speed is used for all ports in a
LAG, auto-negotiation must be disabled or in limited mode to ensure only a
specific speed is advertised.
The following restrictions apply when configuring LAGs:

• The physical port does not meet the criteria for duplex and speed of the other
ports in the LAG. This includes egress-rate and egress-burst.
• The port being added does not have the same encapsulation type as the LAG.
• The port being added has existing child dependencies configured on top of the
LAG (such as v-VPLS SAP). In this case the command is blocked and the
operator is warned to remove the dependencies.
• The port mode does not match the LAG mode.
• The port of type regular or residential does not match the LAG type.
• The port being added is an LT port, a virtual port or a multicast port. This attempt
will be denied.
• The port being added exceeds the number of supported ports in a LAG, the
attempt will be denied.
• Port being added already exists in another LAG.
Figure 3 displays traffic routed between ALA-1 and ALA-2 as a LAG consisting of four
ports.
Figure 3 LAG Configuration
2.3.1.2 LAG Hashing

When a requirement exists to increase the available bandwidth for a logical link that
exceeds the physical bandwidth or to add redundancy for a physical link, Link
Aggregation (LAG) is applied. The ISAM supports up to sixteen ports per LAG.
To avoid out-of-sequence packets the algorithm for selecting the next hop in a LAG
must be deterministic and at line rate.
Depending on the type of traffic that needs to be distributed into a LAG, different
variables are used as input to the hashing algorithm that determines the next hop
selection. Hashing modes are listed in Table 1.
Table 1 Hashing schemes
Packet type Hash based on:
If the packet is an IP packet OuterVID+IPSA+IPDA+IPPROTO+TCP/UDP-SRC+TCP/UDP-DST+INPORT
If the packet is not an IP MACDA+MACSA+OuterVID+ETYPE+INPORT

packet
Legend:
OuterVID: outer most VLAN ID of the packet
IPSA: IP Source Address
IPDA: IP Destination Address
IPPROTO: IP Protocol field in the IP Header
TCP/UDP-SRC: TCP or UDP Source Port number
TCP/UDP-DST: TCP or UDP Destination Port number
INPORT: physical port the packet arrived on
MACDA: MAC Destination Address
MACSA: MAC Source Address
ETYPE: Ethertype field
2.3.1.3 Port Link Damping

Hold time controls enable port link damping timers that reduce the number of link
transitions reported to upper layer protocols.
The port link damping feature guards against excessive port transitions. Any initial
port transition is immediately advertised to upper layer protocols, but any subsequent
port transitions are not advertised to upper layer protocols until a configured timer
has expired.
A “down” timer controls the dampening timer for link down transitions.
2.3.2 Active / Standby Subgroup in Link Aggregation

Active and standby subgroups can be configured in LAG. See Figure 4.
Figure 4 Active/standby subgroups
The following must be configured for the LAG subgroups:

• A preference for each subgroup:
the subgroup with the lowest preference is the most preferred subgroup
• A threshold for each subgroup:
when the number of active links in the subgroup is equal to or lower than this
threshold, a switchover to another subgroup is initiated. The selection of this
subgroup is based on the preference
• A switchover detection time:
this switchover detection time is based on the hold-time configured for the ports
in the LAG
• If required, a “force-active” of a subgroup:
this “force-active” overrides the preference-based subgroup selection.
The following restrictions apply when configuring subgroups:

• Ports can only be added to a subgroup when the preference for a subgroup has
been configured to a non-zero value
• A subgroup with available ports cannot have a preference value of zero
• Two subgroups cannot have the same non-zero preference value
• The value of a subgroup threshold is expected to be greater than the LAG port
threshold (this is not enforced).
The following applies for subgroup selection:

• The selection of subgroups in static LAG is non-revertive. Switchover from a
subgroup will not occur unless the threshold is hit or a forced switchover is
initiated
• If the number of active links in the subgroup to which switchover has occurred is
lower than the configured threshold for this subgroup, that subgroup will remain
active despite having a number of active links that is lower then the configured
threshold
• If the number of active links in the subgroup to which switchover has occurred is
zero, then a switchover to the next subgroup will be initiated. This switchover is
based on the configured preference
• When the number of active links in all subgroups is zero, then the subgroup which
was last carrying traffic will be chosen as the active subgroup
• The two upstream NEs should have the same IP address and the same MAC
address.
The following applies to LAG subgroups in which LACP is enabled:

• Subgroup selection is always revertive, that is, revertive to the most preferred
sub-group
• Whenever the number of active links in the most preferred sub-group is higher
than the sub-group's configured threshold, it will be selected as the active
sub-group.
• When the number of active links in all the sub-groups is lower than their respective
thresholds, the sub-group with the most number of active links will be chosen as
the active sub-group.

CLI
3.1 Pre-provisioning Guidelines
3.2 Common Configuration Tasks
3.1 Pre-provisioning Guidelines

Ports are pre-provisioned during initialization of the node, based on the equipment
practice and the planned boards. All the ports are of type Ethernet. Supported
Ethernet port types include Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-T), Gigabit Ethernet
(1000BASE-T) and 10Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-X).
Besides the physical ports, the node auto-creates a single instance of a virtual port.
The intent of the virtual port is highlighted in the FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT
IHub Services Guide.
When the ports are initialized, the following applies for all the ports:
• all the ports have encapsulation type dot1q. No other encapsulation types are
supported.
• all the ports are of mode access. This is the default. Only through operator
configuration can a port become a network or hybrid port.
3.2 Common Configuration Tasks

The following sections are basic system tasks that must be performed:
• Configuring Ethernet Port Parameters
• Ethernet Access Ports
• Ethernet Network Port
• Ethernet Hybrid Port
• Configuring LAG Parameters

3.2.2 Configuring LAG Parameters

The following constraints apply for creating an LAG:
• A maximum of sixteen ports can be included in a LAG. All ports in the LAG must
share the same characteristics (speed, duplex, hold-timer, and so on). The port
characteristics are inherited from the primary port.
• Auto-negotiation must be disabled or set limited mode for ports that are part of a
LAG to guarantee a specific port speed.
• Ports in a LAG must be configured as full duplex.
The following example displays LAG configuration output:

Default No local_nt_ports_only
Exception This command is applicable only for back plane load shared LT ports
4.3.3 Ethernet Port Commands
4.3.3.1 ethernet
Table 7 ethernet Command
Item Description
Syntax ethernet
Description This command enables access to the context to configure Ethernet port attributes.
This context can only be used when configuring Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, or 10Gigabit Ethernet
LAN ports on an appropriate MDA.
4.3.3.2 autonegotiate
Table 8 autonegotiate Command
Item Description
Syntax autonegotiate [limited]
[no] autonegotiate
Context configure>port>ethernet
Description This command enables speed and duplex autonegotiation on Fast Ethernet ports and enables
far-end fault indicator support on Gigabit ports.
There are three possible settings for autonegotiation:
• “on” or enabled with full port capabilities advertised
• “off” or disabled where there are no autonegotiation advertisements
• “limited” where a single speed/duplex is advertised.
When autonegotiation is enabled on a port, the link attempts to automatically negotiate the link
speed and duplex parameters. If autonegotiation is enabled, the configured duplex and speed
parameters are ignored.
When autonegotiation is disabled on a port, the port does not attempt to autonegotiate and will
only operate at the speed and duplex settings configured for the port. Note that disabling
autonegotiation on gigabit ports is not allowed as the IEEE 802.3 specification for gigabit
Ethernet requires autonegotiation be enabled for far end fault indication.
If the autonegotiate limited keyword option is specified the port will autonegotiate but will only
advertise a specific speed and duplex. The speed and duplex advertised are the speed and
duplex settings configured for the port. One use for limited mode is for multispeed gigabit ports
to force gigabit operation while keeping autonegotiation enabled for compliance with IEEE
801.3.
Note: The limited keyword is not supported when the Ethernet port is equipped with an
electrical SFP. Ports equipped with an electrical SFP will always negotiate up to the highest
commonly available speed.
7302 ISAM OS requires that auto-negotiation be disabled or limited for ports in a Link
Aggregation Group to guarantee a specific port speed.
The no form of this command disables autonegotiation on this port.
Default autonegotiate
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Parameters limited — The Ethernet interface will automatically negotiate link parameters with the far end,
but will only advertise the speed and duplex mode specified by the Ethernet speed and duplex
commands.
(2 of 2)
4.3.3.3 category
Table 9 category Command
Item Description
Syntax category {regular | residential}
no category
Description The port category determines the rules for MAC address learning and for user-to-user
communication. This is specified in the FD 100/320Gbps NT and FX NT IHub Services Guide,
chapter “Virtual Private LAN Service”, section “ISAM VPLS Implementation”.
The port category for an access port is either residential or regular. The port category for
access ports can be modified. For ports of mode network and hybrid, the category is fixed to
regular, it cannot be modified.
The following holds for an access port:
A network-facing port will be configured as regular port, a customer-facing port will be
configured as residential port.
When the system starts up:
• LT ports are auto- created with category residential; their mode cannot be modified
• Virtual ports are created with category regular
• Network-facing ports (including subtending ISAM ports) are created with category regular.
In case you want to reconfigure a network-facing port with the intent to connect to a subtended
ISAM, you must modify the port category to residential.
The no form of this command reverts the port to its default category.
Default For an access port: the default depends on the usage of the port:
• for LT ports: residential
• for virtual ports: regular
• for network-facing ports (including subtending ISAM ports): regular.
For network and hybrid ports, the default is regular.
Parameters regular — Configures the mode of the port as regular

residential — Configures the mode of the port as residential
4.3.3.4 dot1q-etype
Table 10 dot1q-etype Command
Item Description
Syntax dot1q-etype 0x0600..0xffff

no dot1q-etype
Description This command specifies the Ethertype expected when the port's encapsulation type is dot1q.
Dot1q encapsulation is supported only on Ethernet interfaces.
When a non-default Ethertype "dot1q-etype" (that is, with value different from 0x8100), is
configured on a port, some control plane packets get dropped in the OBC and are never
processed:
• ARP Request and Response
• OSPF Protocol packets
• PIM Protocol packets
• LDP-UDP packets
• LDP-TCP packets
• ISIS protocol packets
• IP Packets having exact Source IP match with one of L3 interface addresses.
• DHCP snooped packets
• LSP PING packets
• VCCV PING packets
• VPLS IPHOST packets
• DHCP6 packets
• ICMP6 packets
• IGMP packets
• BFD packets
Workaround:
In case you need to receive and process the above list of packets on your port with different
Ethertype from 0x8100, you can do one of the following:
• configure “use-vlan-etype” on that particular port and configure the required ether type on
the corresponding v-VPLS services where SAPs are present over this port (command:
configure service vpls vlan-dot1q-etype; for more information, see the IHub services
guide).
• configure “use-vlan-etype” on that particular port and configure system-wide ether type as
the required ether type which applies for all v-VPLS services (command: configure
system vlan-dot1q-etype; for more information, see the IHub system guide)
The no form of this command reverts the dot1q-etype value to the default.
Parameters 0x0600..0xffff — Specifies the Ethertype to expect.
4.3.3.5 duplex
Table 11 duplex Command
Item Description
Syntax duplex {full|half}
Description This command specifies the Ethernet port duplex mode
Full duplex mode configuration:
• is possible on all RJ45/SFP/XFP/CFP Ethernet interface ports that support 10, 100, 1
Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 100 Gbps.
• is not possible on XFP interface ports that support only 10Gbps.
Half-duplex mode configuration:

• is only possible if the configured speed on the Ethernet port is 10 or 100 Mbps.
• is not possible on an Ethernet port that is part of a link aggregation group.
Parameters full — Full duplex mode must be used.
half — Half-duplex mode must be used.
4.3.3.6 use-vlan-dot1q-etype
Table 12 use-vlan-dot1q-etype Command
Item Description
Syntax use-vlan-dot1q-etype
[no] use-vlan-dot1q-etype
Description This command enables/disables the use of the service level dot1q-etype on SAPs (on v-VPLS
service) on this port.
4.3.3.7 egress-rate
Table 13 egress-rate Command
Item Description
Syntax egress-rate sub-rate [burst burst-size]

no egress-rate
Description This command configures the rate of traffic leaving the network.
The no form of this command reverts the value to the default.
Default no egress-rate
Parameters sub-rate — The egress rate in Kbps
Value: 1 — 100000000 Kbps
burst burst-size — The burst size in Kbytes

Value: 1— 262144 | default
4.3.3.8 encap-type
Table 14 encap-type Command
Item Description
Syntax encap-type {dot1q or qinq}
no encap-type
Description This command configures the encapsulation method used to distinguish customer traffic on an
Ethernet access port or hybrid port, or different VLANs on a network port.
The no form of this command reverts the value to the default.
Default dot1q
Parameters dot1q — Ingress frames carry 802.1Q tags where each tag signifies a different service.
qinq — Supports both single and double tagged frames. Frames are mapped to a service
based on the SAPs configured for the port. Double tagged frames are mapped to QinQ SAPs
when there is a match; otherwise they are mapped to dot1q SAPs, based on the outer tag when
its inner tag is zero.
4.3.3.9 hold-time
Table 15 hold-time Command
Item Description
Syntax hold-time {[up hold-time-up] [down hold-time-down]}

no hold-time
Description This command configures port link dampening timers which reduce the number of link
transitions reported to upper layer protocols.
The hold-time value is used to dampen interface transitions.
When an interface transitions from an up state to a down state, it is immediately advertised to
the rest of the system if the hold-time-down interval is zero, but if the hold-time-down interval
is greater than zero, interface down transitions are not advertised to upper layers until the
hold-time-down interval has expired. Likewise, an interface is immediately advertised as up to
the rest of the system if the hold-time-up interval is zero, but if the hold-time-up interval is
greater than zero, up transitions are not advertised until the hold-time-up interval has expired.
The no form of this command reverts to the default values.
Default down 0 — No port link down dampening is enabled; link down transitions are immediately
reported to upper layer protocols.
up 0 — No port link up dampening is enabled; link up transitions are immediately reported to
upper layer protocols.
Parameters up hold-time-up — The delay, in seconds, to notify the upper layers after an interface
transitions from a down state to an up state.
Values: 0 — 900 seconds | 0— 90000 centiseconds
Note: hold-time-up can only be configured in centiseconds for 10GE ports
down hold-time-down — The delay, in seconds, to notify the upper layers after an interface
transitions from an up state to a down state.
Values: 0 — 900 seconds | 0— 90000 centiseconds
Note: hold-time-down can only be configured in centiseconds for 10GE ports
4.3.3.10 loopback
Table 16 loopback Command
Item Description
Syntax loopback tunnel vlan-id

no loopback
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Description This command allow to place an access port in MAC loopback. That is, packets egressing the
port will be looped back, so they ingress the port.
For untagged packets and single tagged packets egressing the port with a VLAN different than

4.3.3.11 mode
Table 17 mode Command
Item Description
Syntax mode {access | network | hybrid}

no mode
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Description This command configures an Ethernet port for access mode, hybrid mode, or network mode
operation.
An access port or channel is used for customer facing traffic on which services are configured.
A Service Access Point (SAP) can only be configured on an access port or channel. When a
port is configured for access mode, the appropriate encap-type must be specified to
distinguish the services on the port. Once an Ethernet port has been configured for access
mode, multiple services can be configured on the Ethernet port. Note that ATM and Frame
Relay parameters can only be configured in the access mode. The access port can be
“regular” or “residential”.
A subset of the links that are connected to the NT I/O board can be used as either customer
links or network links. Such a link must be configured as uplink when intended to be used as
a network-facing port, alternatively the link must be configured as downlink when intended to
be used as a user-facing port.
A customer-facing port (an LT port or a downlink) can only be of mode access.
A virtual port can only be of mode access.
Network ports participate in the service provider transport or infrastructure network. Network
ports support MPLS. A network port is always of type “regular”.
Hybrid ports provide the features of both network ports and access regular ports.
The mode of a port cannot be modified if either an SAP, an LAG or an IP interface is configured
on the port or if the port is not in shutdown state.
The no form of this command restores the default.
Default access — Default channel/port mode for channelized, ASAP, and ATM MDAs.
Parameters access — Configures the Ethernet port to allow creation of SAPs on the port, the port can be
either network-facing or customer-facing.
network — Configures the Ethernet port to be a network port.
hybrid — Configures the Ethernet port to be a hybrid port.

4.3.4 LAG Commands
4.3.4.1 lag
Table 34 lag Command
Item Description
Syntax [no] lag [lag-id]

Context configure
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Description This command creates the context for configuring Link Aggregation Group (LAG) attributes.
A LAG can be used to group up to sixteen ports into one logical link. The aggregation of
multiple physical links allows for load sharing and offers seamless redundancy. If one of the
links fails, traffic will be redistributed over the remaining links. Up to 16 links can be supported
in a single LAG, up to 200 LAGs can be configured on a node.
NOTE: All ports in a LAG group must have autonegotiation set to Limited or Disabled.
There are three possible settings for autonegotiation:
• “on” or enabled with full port capabilities advertised
• “off” or disabled where there is no autonegotiation advertisements
• “limited” where a single speed/duplex is advertised.
When autonegotiation is enabled on a port, the link attempts to automatically negotiate the link
speed and duplex parameters. If autonegotiation is enabled, the configured duplex and speed
parameters are ignored.
When autonegotiation is disabled on a port, the port does not attempt to autonegotiate and will
only operate at the speed and duplex settings configured for the port. Note that disabling
autonegotiation on gigabit ports is not allowed as the IEEE 802.3 specification for gigabit
Ethernet requires autonegotiation be enabled for far end fault indication.
If the autonegotiate limited keyword option is specified the port will auto-negotiate but will
only advertise a specific speed and duplex. The speed and duplex advertised are the speed
and duplex settings configured for the port. One use for limited mode is for multispeed gigabit
ports to force gigabit operation while keeping autonegotiation is enabled for compliance with
IEEE 801.3.
7302 ISAM requires that auto-negotiation be disabled or limited for ports in a Link Aggregation
Group to guarantee a specific port speed.
The no form of this command deletes the LAG from the configuration. Deleting a LAG can only
be performed while the LAG is administratively shut down. Any dependencies such as
IP-Interfaces configurations must be removed from the configuration before issuing the no lag
command.
Default No LAGs are defined.
Parameters lag-id — The LAG identifier, expressed as a decimal integer.

Values: 1 — 64
(2 of 2)
4.3.4.2 dynamic-cost
Table 35 dynamic-cost Command
Item Description
Syntax [no] dynamic-cost
Context configure>lag lag-id
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Description This command enables OSPF costing of a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) based on the
available aggregated, operational bandwidth.
The path cost is dynamically calculated based on the interface bandwidth. OSPF path cost can
be changed through the interface metric or the reference bandwidth.
If dynamic cost is configured, then costing is applied based on the total number of links
configured and the cost advertised is inversely proportional to the number of links available at
the time. This is provided that the number of links that are up exceeds the configured LAG
threshold value at which time the configured threshold action determines if, and at what cost,
this LAG will be advertised.
For example:
Assume a physical link in OSPF has a cost associated with it of 100, and the LAG consists of
four physical links. The cost associated with the logical link is 25. If one link fails then the cost
would automatically be adjusted to 33.
• If dynamic-cost is not configured and OSPF autocost is configured, then costing is
applied based on the total number of links configured. This cost will remain static provided
the number of links that are up exceeds the configured LAG threshold value at which time
the configured threshold action determines if and at what cost this LAG will be advertised.
• If dynamic-cost is configured and OSPF autocost is not configured, the cost is determined
by the cost configured on the OSPF metric provided the number of links available exceeds
the configured LAG threshold value at which time the configured threshold action
determines if this LAG will be advertised.
• If neither dynamic-cost nor OSPF autocost are configured, the cost advertised is
determined by the cost configured on the OSPF metric provided the number of links
available exceeds the configured LAG threshold value at which time the configured
threshold action determines if this LAG will be advertised.
The no form of this command removes dynamic costing from the LAG.
Default no dynamic-cost

4.3.4.3 encap-type
Table 36 encap-type Command
Item Description
Syntax encap-type {dot1q or qinq}

no encap-type
Context configure>lag
Description This command configures the encapsulation method used to distinguish customer traffic on a
LAG. The encapsulation type is configurable on a LAG port. The LAG port and the port
member encapsulation types must match when adding a port member.
If the encapsulation type of the LAG port is changed, the encapsulation type on all the port
members will also change. The encapsulation type can be changed on the LAG port only if
there is no interface associated with it.
The no form of this command restores the default.
(1 of 2)
Item Description
Parameters dot1q — Ingress frames carry 802.1Q tags where each tag signifies a different service.
qinq — Supports both single and double tagged frames. Frames are mapped to a service
based on the SAPs configured for the port. Double tagged frames are mapped to QinQ SAPs
when there is a match; otherwise they are mapped to dot1q SAPs, based on the outer tag
when its inner tag is zero.

4.6 Port Monitor Command
4.6.1 lag
Item Description
Syntax lag lag-id [lag-id...(up to 5 max)] [interval seconds] [repeat repeat] [absolute | rate]
Context monitor
Description This command enables LAG monitoring. The specified port(s) statistical information displays at
the configured interval until the configured count is reached.
When the keyword rate is specified, the “rate per second” for each statistic is displayed instead
of the delta.
Monitor commands are similar to show commands but only statistical information displays.
Monitor commands display the selected statistics according to the configured number of times
at the interval specified.
Parameters lag-id — Specifies the LAG ID.

Values: 1 — 64
interval seconds — Configures the interval for each display in seconds.

Default: 10 seconds
Values: 5 — 60
repeat repeat — Configures how many times the command is repeated.

Default: 10
Values: 1 — 999
absolute — When the absolute keyword is specified, the raw statistics are displayed, without
processing. No calculations are performed on the delta or rate statistics.
rate — When the rate keyword is specified, the rate-per-second for each statistic is displayed
instead of the delta.
4.6.2 port
Item Description
Syntax port port-id [port-id...(up to 5 max)] [interval seconds] [repeat repeat] [absolute | rate]
Context monitor
Description This command enables port traffic monitoring. The specified port(s) statistical information
displays at the configured interval until the configured count is reached.
The first screen displays the current statistics related to the specified port(s). The subsequent
statistical information listed for each interval is displayed as a delta to the previous display.
When the keyword rate is specified, the “rate per second” for each statistic is displayed instead
of the delta.
Monitor commands are similar to show commands but only statistical information displays.
Monitor commands display the selected statistics according to the configured number of times
at the interval specified.
