Configuring Junos OS to Enable SONET/SDH Framing for ATM MICs

 

In Junos OS Release 12.1 and later, the ATM MIC enables support for ATM pseudowire on MX Series routers. ATM MICs are rate-selectable at the following rates: 2-port OC12 or 8-port OC3. The MICs are supported on MPC interfaces. Hot-pluggable SFPs are used as optical transponders. The MICs allow the user to configure both the mode and the speed. The ATM MIC (2-port OC12 and the 8-port OC3) with SFP installed support SONET or SDH framing on a per-port or per-PIC basis. To enable the entire MIC to function in either SONET or SDH mode, you can configure framing at the MIC level. To enable the framing on a port-by-port basis, you can configure framing at the port level.

Note

This topic uses the term PIC for ATM MICs and the term FPC for MPC where the reference is to a CLI or Junos OS entity.

By default, ATM MICs use SONET framing. For a discussion of the differences between the two standards, see the SONET/SDH Interfaces User Guide for Routing Devices.

To configure the MIC to use SDH framing on a per-PIC basis:

  1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level in configuration mode, specify the PIC and the framing mode to be configured.

    For example:

  2. Verify the configuration.

To configure the MIC to use SDH framing on a per-port basis:

  1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level in configuration mode, specify the PIC, port number, and the framing mode to be configured.

    For example:

  2. Verify the configuration.
