To configure a SDH (VC-4) interface on a Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PIC, include the partition, oc-slice, and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, specifying the so interface type:
- [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port]
-
partition partition-number oc-slice oc-slice-range interface-type so;
This configuration creates interface so-fpc/pic/port:channel.
The partition number is the sublevel interface partition index and is correlated with the channel number. For Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PICs, the OC slice range can be from 1 through 12.

Note: For channelized OC12 IQ interfaces, channel numbering begins with 1 (:1). |
The OC slice range is the range of SONET/SDH slices. For SDH interfaces, the OC slice range specifies the bandwidth size required for the interface type you are configuring. SDH (VC-4) interfaces must occupy three consecutive OC slices per interface, in one of the following forms:
The interface type is the channelized interface type or data channel you are creating.
Configure SDH (VC-4) interfaces:
- [edit interfaces cstm4-0/2/0]
- partition 1 oc-slice 1-3 interface-type so;
- partition 2 oc-slice 4-6 interface-type so;
- partition 3 oc-slice 7-9 interface-type so;
- partition 4 oc-slice 10-12 interface-type so;
This configuration creates the interfaces so-0/2/0:1 through so-0/2/0:4.
