Example: Configuring the Optical Supervisory Channel for the Integrated Photonic Line System and Optical Inline Amplifier
This example shows you how to configure optical supervisory channel (OSC) communication across the PTX3000 integrated photonic line system when you are using the Juniper Networks optical ILA in the amplifier chain.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Two PTX3000 Packet Transport Routers with the Integrated Photonic Line System installed and running Junos OS Release 17.1 or later.
Three optical inline amplifiers.
Before you configure the optical supervisory channel, be sure you have:
Installed and configured the integrated photonic line system in the PTX3000 router and that you are able to pass optical traffic end to end over the three optical ILAs.
Overview
This example shows you how to configure optical supervisory channel (OSC) communications on the PTX3000 integrated photonic line system when using the optical ILA in the amplifier chain.
Topology
Figure 1 shows the topology for this example. At Site A, there is a PTX3000 router with an IPLC module installed in FPC slot 3. The IPLC module at Site A is the anchor for the OSC. Three optical inline amplifiers configured as: ILA 0, ILA 1, and ILA 2 connect Site A to Site B, where another PTX3000 is running an IPLC module. The IPLC module at Site B is specifically configured as a non-anchor IPLC.
This topology also includes an example of configuring threshold crossing alerts (TCA)s on the optical ILAs through the Junos OS CLI on the PTX3000 at Site A.
For this example, it is irrelevant what optical signals you are passing over the line system. However, the line system must be up and operational.
