Example: Channelized STM1 IQ Interface Configuration
This example shows how to configure a channelized STM1 IQ interface on M-series or T-series routing platforms. Figure 8 shows the breakdown of one channelized STM1 IQ interface into a variety of channels and the conversion of the second interface into a clear channel STM1.
For the first interface, you must first convert the STM1 interface into a channelized Administrative Unit 4 (AU-4) interface with the no-partition and interface-type cau-4 statements at the [edit interfaces cstm1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. You must specify KLM or ITU-T AU-4 formatting with the vtmapping statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port sonet-options] hierarchy level. From the channelized AU-4 interface, you can create E1 channels or channelized E1 channels. The channelized E1 channels can be further broken into DS0 time slots.
To create E1 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with the interface-type e1 option. To create channelized E1 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with the interface-type ce1 option.
After you have established a channelized E1 channel, you can split it into a maximum of 31 NxDS0 channels. To create the desired number of NxDS0 channels, include the partition statement with the timeslots and interface-type ds options at the [edit interfaces ce1-fpc/pic/port:channel] hierarchy level. Time slot 1 is reserved in an NxDS0-based channelized E1 channel, so you can use time slots 2 through 32.
To create an NxDS0 channel group, include a range of time slots after the timeslots option.
You can also create fractional E1 interfaces on a channelized STM1 IQ interface. To configure a fractional E1 interface, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level and select the interface-type e1 option. After you commit this part of the configuration, a clear channel E1 interface is established. You can configure standard E1 options on this interface. To fractionalize the E1 interface, include the timeslots statement at the [edit interfaces e1-fpc/pic/port e1-options] hierarchy level. Time slot 1 is reserved in a fractional E1 channel, so you can use time slots 2 through 32.
In the second interface shown in Figure 8, you convert the channelized STM1 IQ interface into a clear channel STM1 interface. To configure, include the no-partition and interface-type so statements at the [edit interfaces cstm1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.
