Perform this task to define the working and protecting resources in an odu group controller through management plane.

Procedure

Step 1

configure

Step 2

Example:

RP/0/# controller odu-group-mp 5 signal OTN odu-type odu1

This creates the ODU group controller. The ODU Group MP value ranges from 1 to 65535.

Step 3

protecting-controller name-of-the-controller Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

Example:

RP/0/ (config-odu-group-mp5)# protecting-controller odu1 0/0/0/1

Defines an ODUk (HO/LO) controller as the protecting resource in the ODU group controller.

Step 4

working-controller name-of-the-controller Rack/Slot/Instance/Port

Example:

RP/0/ (config-odu-group-mp5)# working-controller odu1 0/0/0/1

Step 5

commit

Example: Define Working and Protecting Resources in an ODU Group Controller

The following example defines working and protecting resources in the ODU group controller using Cisco IOS XR commands: 


RP/0/# configure terminal
RP/0/# controller odu-group-mp 5 signal otn odu-type odu1
RP/0/(config-odu-group-mp5)# protecting-controller odu1 0/0/0/1

Configure the Protection Attributes of an ODU Group Controller

Perform this task to configure the protection attributes of an odu group controller.

Procedure

Step 1

configure

Example:

RP/0/ (config-odu-group-mp5)# protection-attributes protection-type APSuni

Configures the protection type of all the protecting resources in the ODU group controller. You can configure the protection type as 1+1 bidirectional APS, 1+1 unidirectional APS or 1+1 no APS.

Step 6

protection-attributes {connection-mode | protection-mode | protection-type | timers} hold-off time timer-of-the-protection-attributes

Example:

RP/0/ (config-odu-group-mp5)# protection-attributes timers hold-off-time 100
