Description

ACR and DCR Scale Support

Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1

Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) and Differential Clock Recovery (DCR) are techniques used for Circuit Emulation (CEM) to recover clocks on the following Cisco RSP3 module:

  • ASR 900 Combo 8-Port SFP GE and 1-Port 10 GE 20G Interface Module (A900-IMA1Z8S-CXMS)

The Clock Recovery System recovers the service clock using Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) and Differential Clock Recovery (DCR).

Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR)

Adaptive Clock Recovery (ACR) is an averaging process that negates the effect of random packet delay variation and captures the average rate of transmission of the original bit stream. ACR recovers the original clock for a synchronous data stream from the actual payload of the data stream. In other words, a synchronous clock is derived from an asynchronous packet stream. ACR is a technique where the clock from the TDM domain is mapped through the packet domain, but is most commonly used for Circuit Emulation (CEM). ACR is supported on unframed and framed modes of SAToP.

Note


Framing type should be maintained same in all routers end to end.


Effective Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1, ACR is supported on the 8-port T1/E1 interface module.

Differential Clock Recovery (DCR)

Differential Clock Recovery (DCR) is another technique used for Circuit Emulation (CEM) to recover clocks based on the difference between PE clocks. TDM clock frequency are tuned to receive differential timing messages from the sending end to the receiving end. A traceable clock is used at each end, which ensures the recovered clock is not affected by packet transfer. DCR is supported on unframed and framed modes of SAToP.

Note


Framing type should be maintained same in all routers end to end.


Benefits of Clock Recovery

  • Customer-edge devices (CEs) can have different clock from that of the Provide-edge devices (PEs).

  • In CESoPSN, a slave clock is supported for clock redundancy.

Prerequisites for Clock Recovery

  • The clock of interface modules must be used as service clock.

  • CEM must be configured before configuring the global clock recovery.

  • RTP must be enabled for DCR in CEM, as the differential clock information is transferred in the RTP header.

Restrictions for Clock Recovery

  • The reference clock source is used and locked to a single clock.

  • The clock ID should be unique for a particular interface module for ACR or DCR configuration.

  • When CEM group is configured, dynamic change in clock source is not allowed.

  • ACR clock configuration under each controller should be performed before configuring CEM group.

  • When ACR or DCR is configured and loopback network is applied on the same PDH (T1/E1), then the ACR or DCR mode configuration is removed to enable the loopback. The ACR or DCR should be configured again after the loopback maintenance activity.

Scale Restrictions

  • For the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.x release, a maximum of 5376 ACR and DCR session scale is supported on the Cisco 1-port OC-192 Interface module or 8-port Low Rate Interface Module (8-port SFP GE and 1-port 10GE IM with CEM, 10G). For releases before the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release, only 2000 session are supported.

How to Configure Clock Recovery

Configuring Clock Recovery for SONET

Configuring ACR of T1/E1 Interfaces for SAToP

Before You Begin

Before configuring ACR, CEM must be configured. Below are the guidelines to configure clock recovery:

  • The node (chassis) on which the DS1 is configured for ACR, must have its own clock derived from BITS/GPS/Stratum clock.

  • The minimum packet size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 64 bytes.

Configure the CEM Interface

 
enable
configure terminal
controller t1 0/0/1
cem-group 0 unframed
exit

Perform Global Configuration for Clock Recovery

To configure the clock recovery in the global configuration mode, use the following commands:

 
recovered-clock 0 0
clock recovered 1 adaptive cem 1 0
exit

Configure the Clock under Controller

To configure the clock recovery on T1/E1 interfaces, use the following commands:


enable
configure terminal
controller t1 0/0/1
clock source recovered 1

Note


The global clock configuration must be performed before configuring the clock recovery under the controller. From the Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1 release onwards, the above config sequence is restricted only from CLI.


To remove the clock configuration in ACR and DCR, you must remove the recovery clock configuration in global configuration mode and then remove the controller configuration.

Clock Recovery System in CESoPSN

The Clock Recovery System is able to recover the service clock using two methods, the Adaptive Clock Recovery and Differential Clock Recovery.

Configuring ACR of T1/E1 Interfaces for CESoP

To configure the clock on T1/E1 interfaces for CESoPSN in controller mode, use the following commands:


enable
configure terminal
controller t1 <slot>/<bay>/<port>
t1 <t1_num>  clock source recovered <clock-id>  
t1 <t1_num> cem-group < cem-group-no > timeslots <1-24>
exit

To configure the clock recovery on T1/E1 interfaces in global configuration mode, use the following commands:


recovered-clock <slot> <bay>
clock recovered <clock-id> adaptive cem <port-no> <cem-group-no> prioroty <1 | 2>
exit
Configuring ACR of T3/E3 Interfaces for CESoP

To configure the clock on T3/E3 interfaces for CESoPSN in controller mode, use the following commands:


enable
configure terminal
controller t3 <slot>/<bay>/<port>
t1 <t1_num>  clock source recovered <clock-id>  
t1 <t1_num> cem-group < cem-group-no > timeslots <1-24>
exit

To configure the clock recovery on T3/E3 interfaces in global configuration mode, use the following commands:


recovered-clock <slot> <bay>
clock recovered <clock-id> adaptive cem <port-no> <cem-group-no> prioroty <1 | 2>
exit
Configuring DCR of T1/E1 Interfaces for CESoP

To configure the clock on T1/E1 interfaces for CESoPSN in controller mode, use the following commands:


enable
configure terminal
controller t1 <slot>/<bay>/<port>
t1 <t1_num> clock source recovered <clock-id>  
t1 <t1_num> cem-group < cem-group-no > timeslots <1-24>
exit

To configure RTP header on T1/E1 interfaces in global configuration mode, use the following commands:


interface cem 0/0/1
cem 0
rtp-present

To configure the clock recovery on T1/E1 interfaces in global configuration mode, use the following commands:


recovered-clock <slot> <bay>
clock recovered <clock-id> differential cem <port-no> <cem-group-no> prioroty <1 | 2>
exit
Configuring DCR of T3/E3 Interfaces for CESoP
Before You Begin

Before configuring DCR, CEM must be configured. Below are the guidelines to configure clock recovery:

  • The node (chassis) on which the DS1 is configured for DCR, must have its own clock derived from BITS/GPS/Stratum clock.

  • The minimum packet size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 64 bytes.

To configure the clock on T3/E3 interfaces for CESoP in controller mode, use the following commands:


enable
configure terminal
controller t3 <slot>/<bay>/<port>
t1 <t1_num>  clock source recovered <clock-id>  
t1 <t1_num> cem-group < cem-group-no > timeslots <1-24>
exit


interface cem <slot>/<bay>/<port>
cem < cem-group-no>
rtp-present

To configure the clock recovery on T3/E3 interfaces in global configuration mode, use the following commands:


recovered-clock <slot> <bay>
clock recovered <clock-id> differential cem <port-no> <cem-group-no> prioroty <1 | 2>
exit

Note


To remove the clock configuration in ACR and DCR, perform the following steps:

  • Use the no clock source recovered command.

  • Remove the global clock.

  • Remove CEM configuration, if required.

To configure E1 ACR:

enable
configure terminal
controller sdh 0/0/16

Verifying ACR Configuration on SDH

Use show recovered clock command to verify E1 ACR configuration:

#show recovered clock

Use show recovered clock command to verify T3 ACR configuration:

#show recovered clock
