Example: Channelized DS-3 QPP Interface Configuration
![]()
The last example shows how to configure a channelized DS-3 QPP interface. Figure 4 shows the breakdown of a DS-3 interface into a variety of channels. The path that leads to NxDS-0 channels is similar to the M13 with C-bit parity method seen previously in the complex OC-12 configuration example (see Example: Complex Configuration for a Channelized OC-12 QPP Interface). This method breaks the channelized DS-3 QPP interface into channelized T1s before additional splits create DS-0 timeslots.
To create T1 channels, include the
partitionstatement at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with theinterface-type t1option. To create channelized T1 channels, include thepartitionstatement at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with theinterface-type ct1option.After you have established a channelized T1 channel, you can split it into a maximum of 24 NxDS-0 channels. To configure NxDS-0 channels, include the
partitionstatement at the [edit interfaces ct1-fpc/pic/port:channel] hierarchy level with thetimeslotsandinterface-type dsoptions to create the desired number of NxDS-0 channels or channel groups.Although it is not part of the example below, you can also create a clear channel T3 or a fractional T3 interface on a channelized DS-3 QPP interface. To configure a clear channel T3 or fractional T3 interface, include the
no-partitionstatement at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. After you commit this part of the configuration, a clear channel T3 interface is established. You can configure standard T3 options on this interface. To fractionalization the T3 interface, include thetimeslotsstatement at the [edit interfaces t3-fpc/pic/portt3-options] hierarchy level.Router A
