Switching a Wavelength to an Optical Interface in the Same Chassis
This topic describes how to configure the IPLC to switch the
wavelengths on the ADD and DROP ports to compatible optical interfaces on the local chassis.
For a list of compatible optical interfaces that are compatible with the IPLC ports, see PTX Series IPLC Compatibility.
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
Install the optical interface cards and configure the wavelength on the local optical interface so that it is compatible with the wavelength on the IPLC. See Configuring the 10-Gigabit or 100-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM Interface Wavelength.
Install the IPLC module and connect the
ADDandDROPports to the respective local optical interfaces.
To configure the IPLC to add or drop a wavelength to an optical interface on the local chassis:
- Specify the slot of the local IPLC module and access the
IPLC configuration hierarchy.[edit]user@host# edit chassis fpc slot optical-options
For example, if the IPLC base module resides in slot 1:
[edit]user@host# edit chassis fpc 1 optical-options - Specify the wavelength number and the name of the physical
optical interface to which you want to switch the wavelength. [edit chassis fpc 1 optical-options]user@host# set wavelength nm switch interface-name
For example, if you want to switch wavelength 1550.12 running on the local IPLC module in slot 1 to the optical interface in slot 3, PIC 0, port 0:
[edit chassis fpc 1 optical-options]user@host# set wavelength 1550.12 switch et-3/0/0This step creates the association between the wavelength on the IPLC and the local optical interface.
- Verify that the configuration is correct. For example:[edit chassis fpc 1 optical-options]user@host# show
wavelength 1550.12 { switch { et-3/0/0; } } - If the configuration is correct, save it.[edit chassis fpc 1 optical-options]user@host# commit
