dol och-xcon
Syntax
Description
This command configures the specified DOL optical channel cross-connect on a ROADM node. If the optical channel cross-connect does not exist, the optical channel cross-connect is created. An optical channel cross-connect specifies how wavelengths are routed within a ROADM node.
 | Note: The cross-connect endpoints and the intra-nodal fiber connections must exist before you can create the corresponding inter-module cross-connect. |
| Note: This command automatically creates optical channels on client ports as needed. |
Options
Parameter | Description | Range | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
och-xcon endpoint1 endpoint2 | The two endpoints of the cross-connect. A cross-connect can be configured between the following endpoints:
| The following are the valid endpoints:
| None |
service-name name | The name of the cross-connect | 0 to 255 characters | An empty string |
Additional Information
This command is used to set up cross-connects for both passthrough and add/drop connections.
Passthrough connections are typically set up between optical channels on line ports on different ROADM modules. On split ROADM nodes, however, passthrough connections are set up between an optical channel on a line port and an optical channel on one of the same module's client ports.
Add/drop connections are set up between an optical channel on the add/drop ROADM module line port and a UFM interface.
Add/drop connections can also be set up between an optical channel on a line port and an optical channel on one of the same module's client ports. This is for alien wavelengths only.
In all cases, the endpoints must be configured with the same central frequency.
Additionally, the following fiber connections must exist:
Type of connection | Fiber connection required |
|---|---|
Passthrough | A fiber-conn must exist between the client ports connecting the two ROADM modules. |
Add/drop to a UFM through a multiplexer/demultiplexer | A fiber-conn must exist between the line interface on the multiplexer/demultiplexer and the add/drop client port on the ROADM module. A fiber-conn must exist between the UFM interface and the corresponding (same frequency) client interface on the multiplexer/demultiplexer. |
Add/drop to an external endpoint (alien wavelength) through a multiplexer/demultiplexer | A fiber-conn must exist between the line interface on the multiplexer/demultiplexer and the add/drop client port on the ROADM module. |
After this command is committed, the required client port optical channels are automatically created.

Sample Output
The following creates a passthrough cross-connect, and shows the optical channels that are automatically created on the client ports. The channel name of each automatically-created optical channel is set to the channel name of the corresponding optical channel endpoint on the same module. This is shown below:
