Introduction

After node configuration, the trunks have to be activated. Trunks are intra-node communication links in a network. A trunk can connect any combination of IPX, IGX, or BPX nodes. Trunk characteristics are:

· Physical line type: T1 (including fractional), E1 (including fractional), Subrate, E3, T3, or OC3 (STM1).
· Communication technology: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or StrataCom FastPackets.

Trunks require specific front and back card combinations in each node. The following table shows the communication technology for each node type, card combination, and line type.

Setting Up a Trunk

Prior to executing the commands in this section, node setup must be complete (see Chapter 4). Also, the front and back cards that support the proposed line type and communication technology must reside in the slot intended for the trunk.

  1. Use the uptrk command to up the trunk. This command activates the card so it can begin generating framing. It also determines whether the trunk is physical-only or a virtual trunk. The third place digit signals that the trunk is virtual.
    Each node can have a combined maximum of 32 virtual and physical trunks. The BNI-T3 or E3 can support up to 32 virtual trunks on 1 or both physical ports. A BNI-OC3 line can support up to 11 virtual trunks. Note that, like regular trunks, virtual trunks can carry high-priority traffic.
    The uptrk command must execute at each end of the trunk. When the trunk is up at only one end, the node detects it as being in an alarm state (see dsptrks). Upping the trunk at both ends clears the alarm.

  2. Use the cnftrk command to override trunk default values. The cnftrk command is mandatory for virtual trunks but optional for physical trunks. For virtual trunks, the VPI must be changed to a non-0 value before execution of addtrk.
    If cnftrk is used, identical changes must take place at both ends of the trunk. To display existing trunk parameters, use the dsptrkcnf command. The configurable parameters are listed for each card type in the following table. (The possibilities are PKT for FastPackets, ATM cells, BNI if the trunk is a BNI card, or ALL.) Not all of these parameters apply to the BPX. The BPX parameters are in a list that follows the table.
    Once the trunk is configured and after the trunk is added (addtrk), certain parameters can be re-specified. For example, a period of trunk usage may reveal a need to change parameters to optimize trunk usage. Refer to the forthcoming section called "Reconfiguring a trunk" for details.

  3. Use the addtrk command to add the trunk. Adding the trunk makes the trunk a usable resource, so connections can be added (addcon) for carrying traffic. Add a trunk at only one end of the trunk.
    (To add an interface shelf in a tiered network, use addshelf. See Chapter 4.)


Setting Up a Virtual Trunk

This section describes how to set up a virtual trunk using a BPX cloud. Virtual trunking is a purchased feature, so StrataCom must enable it on each node you intend to use virtual trunking. Also, firmware levels on ASI and BNI cards must be current. For more information on virtual trunking, see the System Manual.

Step 1 Set up cables as follows: in the cloud network, physically connect an ASI port to each BNI port that is likely to carry virtual trunks.

Step 2 For each ASI port connected to a BNI virtual trunk port, use the following configuration sequence:

upln slot.port

upport slot.port

cnfport slot.port, and set the shift parameter to "N" for no shift.

Step 3 Execute addcon. In the cloud network, add a virtual path ASI connection for each end of the virtual trunk that is to be routed through the cloud. An example of the syntax for this is:

addcon joker 5.1.1.* swstorm 6.2.10.*

where 5.1 and 6.2 are ASI ports hooked up and configured for virtual trunking. DACS connections are acceptable. Note that the third number is the VPI, which must correspond to the virtual trunk VPI configured with cnftrk in step 4. The CBR/VBR parameter must also correspond to the Virtual Trunk Type of the virtual trunk. For T3, set PCR to 96000 and CDTV to 24000 for the connection so that the ASI does not drop cells. StrataCom recommends these values based on testing.

Step 4 Configure BNI trunks. Take this step if the ATM cloud provider has assigned the VPC. On BNIs that connect to the cloud's ASI ports, configure the virtual trunks, as follows:

uptrk slot.port.vtrk (If the cloud is already configured, the alarm on the virtual trunk should clear.)

cnftrk slot.port.vtrk

When you use cnftrk, make sure the virtual trunk type and VPI correspond to the existing ASI Virtual Path connections.

addtrk slot.port.vtrk

The parameters slot.port.vtrk on a BNI card can have the following values:

Vtrk is the virtual trunk number, which can be 1--32 for T3/E3 or 1--11 for OC3/STM1.


Reconfiguring a Trunk

This section describes how to change trunk parameters after the trunk has been added. After trunk is added, some parameters can be reconfigured without first deleting the trunk (deltrk). These parameters appear in the list that follows. All other changes to trunk parameters must follow trunk deletion. Instructions for changes these parameters follow the list.

The parameters that are changeable without first deleting the trunk are:

To display the current trunk parameters, use the dsptrkcnf command. If all the parameters to be changed can be done without deleting the trunk, execute just the cnftrk command. Use cnftrk at both ends of the trunk.

To change parameters that require trunk deletion:

Step 1 Delete the trunk using deltrk. Execute deltrk at one end of the trunk.

Step 2 Execute cnftrk to reconfigure parameters. Use cnftrk at both ends of the trunk.

Step 3 Execute addtrk to add the trunk. Do so at only one end of the trunk.


Remove a Trunk

To remove a trunk between two nodes:

Step 1 Use the deltrk command to delete the trunk. If both ends of the trunk are reachable, perform this command at one end of the trunk only. Otherwise, this command must be performed at both ends. Connections using the deleted trunk that cannot be rerouted are automatically deleted.

Step 2 Use the dntrk command to down the trunk. Execute dntrk at both ends of the trunk.


Display and print trunk configuration

The network trunk configuration can be displayed on the screen or printed on the printer in a one step process by using any one of the following commands.


Setting Up ATM Trunk Redundancy

ATM trunk redundancy is the T3 and E3 trunk redundancy supported by the AIT and BTM cards on the IPX and IGX, respectively. Redundancy of one of these T3 or E3 trunks can exist between either an AIT and BPX or a BTM and a BPX. The connected BPX card is the BNI. Trunk redundancy cannot exist between IPXs and IGXs. Also, virtual trunking and trunk redundancy are incompatible. This redundancy uses the standard trunk cables rather than a Y-cable. (For all service card sets other than the AIT and BTM, redundancy is managed through the general Y-cable redundancy commands addyred, delyred, and dspyred).

Trunk redundancy depends on the applicable commands, trunk cards in adjacent card slots, and the standard trunk cable. The trunk redundancy commands execute only on the IPX or IGX. The BPX does not require information regarding this feature. ATM redundancy is managed through the following commands.


Using subrate trunk interface control templates

Subrate trunks use an Interface Control Template that specifies the configuration of an output control lead. The template defines which output lead is to be configured and whether the lead is asserted, inhibited, or follows a specified input source. A template for a subrate trunk can be configured individually or copied from the template of another subrate trunk.

Subrate trunk interface control templates are managed through the following commands.

addtrk

Adds a trunk between two nodes. It must be executed at one of the nodes terminating the line. A trunk must be "added" to the network before it can be used for traffic. Before a trunk can be added to the network, the line must be activated, or "upped", at both ends of the connection using the uptrk command. The addtrk command only has to be entered at one end of the connection. A trunk must be free of major alarms before it can be added. If the addtrk command is used to join two previously separate networks, the local node verifies that all node names in both networks are unique before the trunk is added. In the following situations, the addtrk command cannot be executed:

When using the addtrk command, exercise caution when adding a new node to a network or one network to another network. With these particular operations, the user IDs and passwords may be replaced by those in the other network. Consult StrataCom ISC before performing these operations.

Parameter Description

cnftrk

A trunk has a default configuration after it is upped with uptrk. Beyond this default configuration, the cnftrk command permits configuration of trunk parameters. This command must be used at both ends of a trunk.

In the display for cnftrk, the current value for each parameter appears on screen. At the command lime prompt for each parameter, the current or default value appears in parentheses and stays the same if you press the Return key without typing any characters. Configurable parameters depend on the trunk type. If a displayed parameter is not available, it appears in half-tone.When you create or edit a job with the addjob or editjob command, respectively, prompts appear for line format and line options when you specify cnftrk in the job.

The parameters RCV Trunk Rate and XMT Trunk Rate apply to standard, physical ATM trunks. These parameters allow a throttling down from the maximum line rate for the trunk type. For ATM trunks terminating on an IPX AIT or an IGX BTM, the RCV Trunk Rate must be adjusted downward to prevent overloading of the bus. In this situation, the rate should be no more than half the total bus bandwidth. (The total is 80,000 cells per second.) The rate could be less if significant numbers of T1 or E1 trunks exist on the same node.

Increments for RCV Trunk Rate and XMT Trunk Rate can be as small as 1 cps (although the node may round up or down). Note that, because a corresponding amount of throttling back must be specified at the other end, cnftrk execution must happen at both ends of the trunk. Therefore, if RCV Trunk Rate is 40,000 cps on the near end, XMT Trunk Rate must be 40,000 cps on the far end of the trunk.

The default value for XMT Trunk Rate is the maximum rate for the back card type. This rate can be throttled down to any number of cells per second that is less than or equal to the physical port rate. If E3 or T2 is selected, the bandwidth is reduced from the T3 rate.

The implementation of XMT Trunk Rate on a virtual trunk differs from the implementation on a physical trunk. On a physical trunk, XMT Trunk Rate limits the rate at which the back card physically generates cells. For a virtual trunk, XMT Trunk Rate does not limit the rate at which the back card generates cells: the line rate stays at the maximum for the line type. However, XMT Trunk Rate is the maximum transmission rate allowed on a virtual trunk. The provider of the virtual trunk service assigns the value for XMT Trunk Rate to the user, and this is the value that must be specified using cnftrk.

For configuring an NTC or NTM trunk, the Subrate interface and Subrate data rate fields are configurable only if the back card is a BC-SR. The choices for interface type are V.11, X.21, V.35, or RS449. The data rate is set to match the subrate facility and must be in the range 64 Kbps to 1.920 Mbps.

The DS0 map is used to define fractional E1 and T1 trunks. It consists of a repeating set of specifications in the form <x[-y[a]]>, where "x" and optional "y" are DS-0 numbers 0 to 23, and the optional "a" indicates alternating. The value of "y" must be greater than that of "x." The values of both "x" and "y" cannot be less than 0 or greater than the maximum number of DS-0s for the line type. In the DS-0 map for unframed E1, use 0-31. For framed E1, use 1-31. For 30 DS-0 E1, use 1-15, 17-31. Normally, the parameters are set after the trunk has been upped but before it has been added to the network with the addtrk command.

The section titled "cnftrk--parameters" in this definition shows required trunk parameters. Virtual trunk parameters are in the section titled "cnftrk - optional parameters." To aid in selecting trunk parameters on a BPX, which are a subset of the total trunk parameters, a list of BPX trunk parameters follows:

Pass Sync Statistical Reserve
Idle Code Restrict CC Traffic
Link Type HCS Masking
Cable Length Valid Traffic Classes
Transmit Rate Virtual Trunk VPI (virtual trunks only)
Payload Scramble Virtual Trunk Type (virtual trunks only)
Loop Clock Connection Channels (virtual trunks only)

Certain parameters can be reconfigured after adding a trunk. Refer to the section "Reconfiguring a trunk."

cnftrkalm

Configures alarm reporting for a trunk. When a trunk are upped and added to the network, alarm reporting is enabled, but cnftrkalm allows disabling of alarms on upped trunks. This can be useful for trunks that are connected to a node but not yet in service or when a trunk has occasional bursts of errors but still functions. When enabled, alarms cause an output from the ARC or ARM card or an indication to StrataView Plus.

Parameter Description

destination trunk Specifies the trunk number to which the interface control template information will be copied.


deltrk

Deletes a trunk. Because deleting a trunk removes the communication path between two nodes, using deltrk may split a network into two separate networks. If deltrk execution splits the network, it causes deletion of connections using the deleted trunk.

If both nodes on the trunk are reachable, executing deltrk is necessary on only one node. If a trunk is deleted on a node while the node at the other end is unreachable, the unreachable node does not detect the deletion, so be sure to delete the trunk at both nodes in this case.

After deletion, the trunk still carries framing signals and can generate alarms for counting, but no traffic can go across it. To remove the trunk completely, use dntrk after the deltrk command.

In the following situations, the node does not allow deltrk to execute:

The display shows a network containing the nodes alpha, beta, and gamma. The word "Major" on the right of "gamma" and "beta" (see Alarm column) indicates the existence of alarm conditions such as loss of signal.

The "10-9/beta" listed to the right of node gamma indicates that trunk 10 on node gamma connects to node beta as trunk 9. The "7-10/alpha" listed to the right of node beta indicates that trunk 7 on node beta connects to node alpha as trunk 10. If the two trunk numbers are separated by an tilde (~) in place of a dash (-), the display is indicating a satellite. The following illustrates a map of this network.

dsptrkstats

Displays the trunk port status, ATM cell loss counts, cell payload errors, and cell header errors for the specified trunk port. The table that follows lists the other statistics. By including the optional clear parameter, dsptrkstats execution clears these statistics.

Table 5-25 :

Statistics Description
Cells dropped due to BFrame parity err. A parity error was detected in one or more of the P bits in the BFrame header or in the BIP-16 parity check for the header causing the cell to be dropped.
Cell header mismatch error count. A count of cells received by a BNI in this slot.port with an incorrect header address for that card.
First mismatch cell header VPI/VCI. This displays the VPI/VCI address of the first header mismatch to be received by the card in this slot.port.
BFrame cell data payload error. A separate BIP-16 parity check is used for the payload data. This number represents the number of errors detected by this parity check. This does not necessarily cause a cell to be dropped.
BFrame cell loss due to admin access. Internal to the BNI card is an administrative processor. This statistic is a count of the cells that were lost in an internal administrative shuffle.

prtnw

Prints the network topology table. Alarms print in a column, and added trunks (by addtrk) appear to the right to the node name. Each trunk entry shows the local back card slot number and the node name and back card slot number on the other end of the line. Note the following conventions:

Parameters set Zero Coded Suppression (ZCS) display characteristics. ZCS writes a 1 over the least significant bit of any byte that contains 0s. The purpose is to ensure a minimum occurrence of 1s so that the receiving node can extract timing information. Command uses the same syntax, and prints the same information as is displayed using the dspnw command.

Description

Print trunk configuration for the node.


System Response

(No screen display, just a printout.)


uptrk

Activates (ups) a trunk and, through the presence or absence of the optional vtrk parameter, identifies either a physical or virtual trunk. Note that mixing physical and virtual trunks is not allowed, so changing the trunk type between physical and virtual requires the trunk to be down (dntrk) before changing.

An activated trunk generates line signalling but does not yet carry live traffic. In this state, the node can monitor the trunk for reliability before the trunk is added with addtrk. Once a trunk has shown reliability and is ready to go into service, use addtrk to add the trunk to the network. Subsequently, if the trunk must go out of service, use dntrk. The dntrk command causes the node to reroute any existing traffic if sufficient bandwidth is available.

A trunk cannot be upped if the required cards are not available. Furthermore, if an NTC or NTM is executing self-test, a "card in test" message may appear on-screen. If this occurs, re-enter uptrk.

Example 1

uptrk 21


Description

Activate (up) trunk 21---a single-port card, in this case, so only the slot is necessary.

Example 2

uptrk 6.1.1


Description

Activate (up) trunk 6.1.7---a virtual trunk, in this case, which the third digit indicates.

Table 5-30 : uptrk -- Parameters

Parameter Description
slot.port Specifies the slot and port of the trunk to activate. If the card has only one port, the port parameter is not necessary. An NTM, for example, has one port.

Table 5-31 : uptrk -- Optional Parameters

Parameter Description
vtrk Specifies the virtual trunk number. The maximum on a node is 32. The maximum on a T3 or E3 line is 32. The maximum for user traffic on an OC3/STM1 trunk is 11 (so more than one OC3/STM1 may be necessary). (See also the section called "Setting Up a Virtual Trunk" at the front of this chapter.)
