Cross Connect Command Reference

This chapter describes the commands to create cross connection between the controllers.

xconnect

To create a cross connection between controllers, use the xconnect command in the global configuration mode. To delete a cross connect, use the no xconnect command in the global configuration mode.

xconnect ID endpoint-1 ODUk R/S/I/P endpoint-2 ODUk R/S/I/P

xconnect ID endpoint-1 odu-grp-mp Group ID endpoint-2 Odu-grp-mp Group ID

xconnect ID endpoint-1 Odu-grp-mp Group ID endpoint-2 ODUk R/S/I/P

no xconnect ID

Syntax Description

ID

Enter the cross connect ID. The valid range of cross connect ID is from 1 to 32655.

endpoint-1

Creates a cross connection from the endpoint of the first ODU controller.

endpoint-2

Creates a cross connection to the endpoint of the second ODU controller.

R/S/I/P

Interface instance of the controller.

Group ID

ID of the ODU group controller.

ODUk

Name of the controller.

Creates a cross connection from the ODU group controller.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config).

Command History

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can create a cross connection between similar types of ODUk controllers. For example: ODU1 to ODU1.

Two endpoints cannot be cross connected on the same port.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a cross connection between ODUk to ODUk . 

Router (config)#xconnect 2 endpoint-1 ODU1 0/0/0/1 endpoint-2 ODU2 0/0/0/2

The following example shows how to create a cross connection between one ODU Group to another ODU Group. 

Router (config)#xconnect 4 endpoint-1 odU-grp-mp 4 endpoint-2 odU-grp-mp 3

The following example shows how to create a cross connection between ODU Group to ODUk . 

Router (config)#xconnect 5 endpoint-1 odU-grp-mp 4 endpoint-2 odU1 0/0/0/1

The following example shows how to delete a cross connection. 

Router (config)# no xconnect 2

show xconnect

To show details of a cross connection, use the show xconnect command in the privileged mode. To show all the cross connections, use the show xconnect all command in the privileged mode.

show xconnect ID

show xconnect all

Syntax Description

ID

Displays the cross connection ID. The valid range of cross connection ID is from 1 to 32655.
