CFG DWDM Controllers

Configuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Controllers on Cisco IOS XR Software
This module describes the configuration of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) controllers on the Cisco CRS-1 Router. DWDM is an optical technology that is used to increase bandwidth over existing fiber-optic backbones. DWDM can be configured on supported 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) or Packet-over-SONET/SDH physical layer interface modules (PLIMs). After you configure the DWDM controller, you can configure an associated POS or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface.

You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring a DWDM controller, be sure that you have installed one of the following cards that support DWDM:

Cisco 1-Port OC-768c/STM-256c DWDM PLIM Cisco 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM PLIM
New DWDM Configuration Requirement

Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 introduces new commands in addition to an important change to the default laser state for all of the DWDM physical layer interface modules (PLIMs) supported on the Cisco CRS-1 router, which impacts the required configuration to support those cards. This change affects all models of the following hardware on the Cisco CRS-1 router:

Cisco 1-Port OC-768c/STM-256c DWDM PLIM Cisco 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM PLIM
Summary of Important DWDM Changes in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0

The laser off and shutdown (DWDM) commands are replaced by the admin-state out-of-service command. The default state of the laser has changed from On to Off for all PLIMs. Therefore, the laser for all DWDM controllers must explicitly be turned on using the admin-state in-service command in DWDM configuration mode.
Information About the DWDM Controllers

DWDM support in Cisco IOS XR software is based on the Optical Transport Network (OTN) protocol that is specified in ITU-T G.709. This standard combines the benefits of SONET/SDH technology with the multiwavelength networks of DWDM. It also provides for forward error correction (FEC) that can allow a reduction in network costs by reducing the number of regenerators used. To enable multiservice transport, OTN uses the concept of a wrapped overhead (OH). To illustrate this structure:

Optical channel payload unit (OPU) OH information is added to the information payload to form the OPU. The OPU OH includes information to support the adaptation of client signals. Optical channel data unit (ODU) OH is added to the OPU to create the ODU. The ODU OH includes information for maintenance and operational functions to support optical channels. Optical channel transport unit (OTU) OH together with the FEC is added to form the OTU. The OTU OH includes information for operational functions to support the transport by way of one or more optical channel connections.

Information about IPoDWDM

Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.9.0 includes the IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IPoDWDM) feature. IPoDWDM is supported on the following hardware devices:

Cisco 1-Port OC-768c/STM-256c DWDM PLIM Cisco 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM PLIM Four line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet full duplex interfaces Per-port flexibility for optical reach - selected using the appropriate XENPAK pluggable optical modules Compatible with all Cisco CRS-1 Series chassis Supports in-use insertion and removal without the need to power down the chassis Simple configuration, monitoring, and maintenance Proactive Maintenance Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG)
The Cisco CRS-1 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet DWDM PLIM supports the following hardware features:

IPoDWDM currently provides the following software features:

Proactive Maintenance
Proactive maintenance automatically triggers Forward Error Correction-Fast Re-Route (FEC-FRR). Proactive maintenance requires coordinated maintenance between Layer 0 (L0) and Layer 3 (L3). L0 is the DWDM optical layer. FEC-FRR is an L3 protection mechanism. FEC-FRR detects failures before they happen and corrects errors introduced during transmission or that are due to a degrading signal.
Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG)
The Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) provides shared risk information between the DWDM optical layer (L0) and the router layer (L3), and the applications that use the shared risk information. An SRLG is a set of links that share a resource whose failure may affect all links in the set. System administrators can configure the following IPoDWDM features:
Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) and Optical Layer DWDM port, see Configuring the SRLG and Optical Layer DWDM Ports, page 37.

Signal Logging
DWDM statistic data, such as EC, UC and alarms, are collected and stored in the log file on the DWDM line card.
How to Configure DWDM Controllers

The DWDM controllers are configured in the physical layer control element of the Cisco IOS XR software configuration space. This configuration is done using the controller dwdm command, and is described in the following tasks:

Configuring the Optical Parameters, page 27 Configuring G.709 Parameters, page 29
Note
All interface configuration tasks for the POS or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces still must be performed in interface configuration mode.
HC-26
OL-20418-02
Configuring the Optical Parameters

This task describes how to configure the receive power threshold and the wavelength parameters for the DWDM controller. You should verify that the optical parameters are configured correctly for your DWDM installation and if necessary, perform this task.
Prerequisites
The rx-los-threshold, wavelength and transmit-power commands can be used only when the controller is in the shutdown state. Use the shutdown command.
Restrictions
The transmit power level and receive LOS threshold are configurable only on the Cisco Cisco 1-Port OC-768c/STM-256c DWDM PLIM.

Command or Action
Step 3
admin-state {maintenance | out-of-service}
Purpose Specifies the DWDM interface administrative state. You must put the controller in maintenance or out-of-service state before you can use the DWDM configuration commands. Saves configuration changes. This performs the shutdown from the previous step. When the controller has been shut down, you can proceed with the configuration. Configures the transponder receive power threshold. Values are in units of 0.1 dBm and can range from -350 to 50. This corresponds to a range of -35 dBm to 5 dBm.
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# admin-state maintenance
Step 4
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# commit
Step 5
rx-los-threshold power-level
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# rx-los-threshold -10
Step 6
Configures the channel number corresponding to the first wavelength. Values can range from 1 to 185, but not all channels are supported on all PLIMs. Use the show Example: controller dwdm command with the wavelength-map RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# wavelength 1 keyword to determine which channels and wavelengths are supported on a specific controller.
wavelength channel-number
Note
There is no cross-checking to determine if the chosen wavelength is being used on another port on the same PLIM or on another PLIM in the system.
Step 7
transmit-power power-level
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# transmit-power 10
Configures the transponder transmit power. Values are in units of 0.1 dBm and can range from -190 to +10. This corresponds to a range of -19 dBm to +1 dBm.
Step 8
end
Saves configuration changes.
or
commit
When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]:
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# commit
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes.
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes.
Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

How to Perform Performance Monitoring on DWDM Controllers

Performance monitoring parameters are used to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. Thresholds are used to set error levels for each performance monitoring parameter. During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a performance monitoring parameter reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) can be generated. The TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. Performance monitoring statistics are accumulated on a 15-minute basis, synchronized to the start of each quarter-hour. They are also accumulated on a daily basis starting at midnight. Historical counts are maintained for thirty-three 15-minute intervals and two daily intervals. Performance monitoring is described in the following task:
