2.3.7 MSTP NE Management


NE management consists of the attributes, communications, services, protections,
and clock configurations of each NE. The configuration data is stored in the
database of the Web LCT and the database of the corresponding NE.

Basic NE Configurations
● Modify NE attributes, including:
– NE name
– NE ID
– Extended NE ID
– Remarks
– Preconfiguration attributes
NOTE

● NE IDs that need to be set using a DIP switch can be modified on the Web LCT.
● When the preconfiguration function is enabled for an NE, all configurations are
performed offline on the NE without affecting any services. These configurations
will not be applied to the NE but only saved in the Web LCT database. This
function is mainly used for training, or when the NE has not been physically
installed.
● Synchronize NE time: Specify the interval or exact time to automatically align
the time of all NEs with the system time of the Web LCT server, NTP server, or
standard NTP server. You can also set the time and period for automatic NE
time synchronization.
– If you use the scheme of synchronizing with the Web LCT server, all NEs
use the Web LCT server time as the standard time. The NE time can be
synchronized with the Web LCT server time manually or automatically.
The Web LCT server time refers to the system time of the workstation or
computer where the Web LCT server is located. This scheme features easy
operation, and is applicable in networks that require a low accuracy with
regard to time.
– If you use the scheme of synchronizing with the NTP server or
synchronizing with the standard NTP server, the NE time and the Web
LCT time are synchronized with the NTP server time or the standard NTP
server time automatically. The NTP server can be the Web LCT server or a
special time server. This scheme enables the Web LCT and NEs to have a
time accuracy of one nanosecond in theory, and applies to a network
with high requirement for time accuracy.
● Display boards in plug-and-play (PnP) mode: After being inserted into slots,
boards along with their information are automatically displayed in the NE
Panel.
● Automatically disable NE functions: NE functions that affect services, such as
loopback and automatic laser shutdown (ALS), are disabled at the scheduled
time.
● Set environmental monitoring-related parameters, including:

LMSP Configuration
Linear MSP protection contains 1+1 linear MSP and 1:N linear MSP. They use the
protection channel to protect services that are transmitted on the working
channel. When the working channel fails, services are switched to the protection
channel. The linear MSP applies to the POS interface and structured STM
interface.
The Web LCT supports the following functions of LMSP configuration:
● Creates a linear MSP.
● Checks the linear MSP switching status.
● Performs linear MSP switching.

MSTP Configuration
The multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) can be used to clear loops on a
network. Using an algorithm, the MSTP blocks redundant trails so that the loop
network can be trimmed as a non-loop tree network. In this case, broadcast
storms caused by the proliferation and endless cycling of packets on the loop
network do not occur. Different from the STP and RSTP that use only one
spanning tree to correspond to all VLANs, the MSTP introduces the mapping
between VLANs and multiple spanning trees, and therefore can forward data
according to VLAN packets and achieve load balance of VLAN data.
● Configure parameters of port groups and network bridges.
● Configure CIST and MSTI parameters.

● Configure route member ports.
● Query statistics of IGMP protocol packets.

LPT Configuration
LPT is used to return the remote-end link status to the near end. The near-end
equipment performs operations depending on the remote-end link status. When
the intermediate transmission network of the services becomes faulty, the LPT
informs the access equipment at both ends of the transmission network to enable
the backup network. This ensures the normal transmission of the important data.

The Hybrid MSTP NEs support configuring point-to-point LPT and point-to-
multipoint LPT.

QoS Configuration
QoS indicates the performance of the data flow that travels through a network.
The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot increase the
bandwidth, but it can minimize the delay and jitter in the network by
appropriately allocating and monitoring network resources. In this way, the quality
of important services is ensured.

The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes that enable the
DiffServ function, that is, DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes use the same
service provision policy to realize the same per-hop behavior (PHB). The DS nodes
are classified into edge DS nodes and internal DS nodes. The edge DS nodes
usually perform complex flow classification on the traffic that enters the DS
domain. Traffic of different types is marked with different PHB service types. For
internal DS nodes, you need to perform only simple flow classification based on
PHB service type.

The Web LCT supports the following QoS functions:

● Configures QoS profiles.


● Configures DiffServ domains.
● Configures ATM CoS mapping.
● Configures simple flow classification and complex flow classification.
● Configures CAR and Shaping.
● Configures the WFQ scheduling policy.
● Configures the port WRED policy.

● To simplify the operation and share some common QoS configuration
parameters, the Web LCT supports creating QoS function point policies as
follows: port policy, ATM policy, V-UNI ingress policy, V-UNI egress policy, PW
policy and QinQ policy. By using these function point policies, you can bind
the CAR configuration attribute, shaping configuration attribute, flow
classification configuration attributes, WFQ Schedule policy, WRED policy and
WRR scheduling policy.

Setting PCM Interfaces


The SDH equipment on a transport network integrates some pulse code
modulation (PCM) interfaces, including FXO and FXS ports and 2-wire/4-wire AF
EM interfaces. The main service scenarios are as follows:
● Z interface extension service: FXO and FXS ports work in pairs to implement
transparent telephone transmission. Common telephones can connect directly
to a private branch exchange (PBX) which extends to NEs with the FXO and
FXS ports. Each telephone port occupies a 64 kbit/s E1 channel.
● Hotline service: FXO and FXS ports work in pairs to implement E-Line
telephone services. It mainly completes the end-to-end voice communication
between stations. Users can communicate with each other by just picking up
the phone, that is, no dialing is required.
● 2-wire/4-wire AF EM regeneration: The PBXs are connected to transport NEs
through the 2-wire/4-wire + EM interfaces. The EM interfaces transmit
signaling and the 2-wire/4-wire ports transmit voice data. The transport NEs
act as the regenerators of signaling and voice data.
● End-to-end control signal transmission: EM ports are used independently to
transmit connection and disconnection signals through only one channel. In

● Synchronize NE time: Specify the interval or exact time to automatically align
the time of all NEs with the system time of the Web LCT server, NTP server, or
standard NTP server. You can also set the time and period for automatic NE
time synchronization.
– If you use the scheme of synchronizing with the Web LCT server, all NEs
use the Web LCT server time as the standard time. The NE time can be
synchronized with the Web LCT server time manually or automatically.
The Web LCT server time refers to the system time of the workstation or
computer where the Web LCT server is located. This scheme features easy
operation, and is applicable in networks that require a low accuracy with
regard to time.
– If you use the scheme of synchronizing with the NTP server or
synchronizing with the standard NTP server, the NE time and the Web
LCT time are synchronized with the NTP server time or the standard NTP
server time automatically. The NTP server can be the Web LCT server or a

QoS Configuration
Quality of service (QoS) refers to the performance of the data flow transmission in
a network. The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot
enhance the bandwidth, but it can minimize the delay and jitter in a network by
properly allocating and monitoring network resources. In this way, the service
quality is ensured.
The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes with the DiffServ
function. Nodes of this type are also called DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS
nodes adopt the same service provisioning policy to achieve the same per-hop
behavior (PHB). DS nodes are classified into edge DS nodes and internal DS nodes.
Edge DS nodes usually perform complex flow classification on the traffic that
enters the DS domain. Traffic of different types is marked with different PHB
service types. Internal DS nodes only need to perform simple flow classification
based on PHB service types.

4 Creating NEs

Actual OptiX series devices are represented as NEs on the Web LCT. Before the
Web LCT manages an actual device, users need to create a corresponding NE on
the Web LCT.

Context
There are two methods for creating NEs:
● Creating NEs through NE search: Use this method when a large number of
NEs need to be created, for example, during deployments.
● Creating NEs manually: Use this method in some special situations (for
example, communication failure) or when only a few NEs need to be created.

NOTE

The Web LCT allows a maximum of 32 online NEs to be added.

4.1 Creating NEs Through NE Search


If the Web LCT is properly communicating with a GNE, the NEs that communicate
with the GNEs can be searched based on the IP address or network segment of
the GNE and then created in batches. This method is quicker and more accurate
than manual creation.
4.2 Creating NEs Manually
Creating NEs manually is not as quick and precise as creating NEs through NE
search. However, creating NEs manually is applicable to all NEs no matter which
communication mode they adopt.

User Guide 4 Creating NEs

Follow-up Procedure
To prevent unauthorized operations on the newly created NE, change the
password for the NE user immediately. During routine maintenance, change the
password regularly.
If login failure occurs on the newly created NE, possible causes are:
● The password for the NE user is incorrect. In this situation, enter the correct
password.
● The NE user is invalid or has logged in. In this situation, switch to another NE
user.

4.2 Creating NEs Manually


Creating NEs manually is not as quick and precise as creating NEs through NE
search. However, creating NEs manually is applicable to all NEs no matter which
communication mode they adopt.

Prerequisites
● The Web LCT is properly communicating with NEs.
● The NE ID is known.

Context
● There are two methods for creating NEs: creating NEs through NE search and
creating NEs manually. Generally, NE IDs are unknown during the initial NE
configuration. These NEs must be created through NE search.
● SSL Gateway is recommended because of its higher security than others.
NOTE

Create GNEs prior to non-gateway NEs.

Procedure
Step 1 In the NE list, click Add NE.

NE List?
Question
An NE can be successfully pinged, but its Communication Status is Abnormal in

Answer
The Web LCT is disconnected from the NE. Because the Web LCT cannot
automatically reconnect to NEs, Communication Status of the disconnected NE is
always Abnormal.
To resolve this problem, do as follows:

Step 1 Log in to the Web LCT.


Step 2 In the NE list, right-click the NE and choose Reconnect from the shortcut menu.
● After the Web LCT successfully reconnects to the NE, Communication Status
of the NE changes to Normal.
● If Communication Status is still Abnormal, verify that the NE has been
started and its network connection is normal.

iMaster NCE Web LCT
User Guide A Service Port Description

A Service Port Description

This appendix describes service ports of the Web LCT, related precautions, and
how to query the service ports.

Background
To ensure the network security, the customer's network needs to take security
hardening measures. The following are the two cases that affect the network
security:
● Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the
network environment where the Web LCT runs. When carrying out the
project, avoid the service ports used by the Web LCT being filtered out by
those security filtering settings.
● Some service ports providing system services are disabled to prevent network
or virus attacks. Note that the service ports used by the Web LCT should not
be disabled. Otherwise, the Web LCT will fail to run properly.

Precautions
In the practical communication process, the source end (server) and the sink end
(client) use relevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and
the sink port is dynamically created.
Note the following during the project implementation:
● The service ports used by the Web LCT cannot be disabled.
● If there are routers or firewalls between the source and sink ends, check all
ports used by the source and sink ends and ensure that they can be enabled,
so that the source end can communicate with the sink end properly.
