The Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PIC configured for SDH mode creates a single channelized STM4 interface. You can configure this interface as unpartitioned using the no-partition statement at the [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level to create a single SDH VC-4-4C interface, or you can partition it into the following OC slices:
This section describes how to configure the following channelized OC12 IQ and IQE interfaces on a Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PIC configured in SDH mode:
To configure a Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PIC to operate in SDH mode, include the framing sdh statement at the [edit chassis fpc fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level:
- [edit chassis{
-
- fpc 0 {
-
- pic 2 {
- framing sdh;
- }
- }
- }
This configuration creates interface cstm4-0/2/0
For more information, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
On a Channelized OC12 IQ or IQE PIC, you can configure one SDH (VC-4-4C) interface. To configure an SDH (VC-4-4C) interface, include the no-partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level:
- [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port]
-
no-partition interface-type so;
This configuration creates interface so-fpc/pic/port.
Configure an unpartitioned SDH (VC-4-4C) interface, using partition 1 and OC slices 4 through 6.
- [edit interfaces cstm4-0/2/0]
- no-partition interface-type so;
This configuration creates the interface so-0/2/0.
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.
To configure a channelized AU-4 interface, include the partition, oc-slice, and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, specifying the cau4 interface type:
- [edit interfaces cstm4-fpc/pic/port]
-
partition partition-number oc-slice oc-slice-range interface-type cau4;
This configuration creates interface cau4-fpc/pic/port:channel.
The partition number is the sublevel interface partition index. For SDH interfaces, the partition number is not correlated with bandwidth size. A channelized STM-4 interface can have 1 through 4 partition numbers.

Note: For channelized OC12 interfaces, channel numbering begins with 0 (:0). 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. Channelized AU-4 IQ 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 channelized AU-4 interfaces, using partitions 1 through 4:
- [edit interfaces cstm4-0/2/0]
- partition 1 oc-slice 1-3 interface-type cau4;
- partition 2 oc-slice 4-6 interface-type cau4;
- partition 3 oc-slice 7-9 interface-type cau4;
- partition 4 oc-slice 10-12 interface-type cau4;
This configuration creates the interfaces cau4-0/2/0:1 through cau4-0/2/0:4.
To configure T3 or channelized T3 interfaces, include the partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, specifying the t3 or ct3 interface type:
- [edit interfaces]
- cau4-fpc/pic/port {
-
partition partition-number interface-type t3;
- }
- cau4-fpc/pic/port {
-
partition partition-number interface-type ct3;
- }
This configuration creates the interfaces t3-fpc/pic/port:channel and t3-fpc/pic/port:channel.

Note: Class-of-service (CoS) rules cannot be applied to an individual channel configured on channelized IQ interfaces. You can only apply CoS rules to the aggregate bit streams. |
Configure T3 and channelized T3 interfaces, using partition 1 and partition 2.
- [edit interfaces]
- cau4-0/2/0:1 {
- partition 1 interface-type t3;
- }
- cau4-0/2/0:1 {
- partition 2 interface-type ct3;
- }
- t3-0/2/0:1:1 ct3-0/2/0:1:2;
To configure T1 or channelized T1 interfaces, include the partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, specifying the t1 or ct1 interface type:
- [edit interfaces]
- ct3-fpc/pic/port {
-
partition partition-number interface-type t1;
- }
- ct3-fpc/pic/port {
-
partition partition-number interface-type ct1;
- }
This configuration creates the interfaces t1-fpc/pic/port:channel and ct1-fpc/pic/port:channel.

Configure T1 or channelized T1 interfaces, using partition 3 and partition 4.
- [edit interfaces]
- ct3-0/2/0:1:2 {
- partition 3 interface-type t1;
- }
- ct3-0/2/0:1:2 {
- partition 4 interface-type ct1;
- }
This configuration creates interfaces ct1-0/2/0:1:2:3 and t1-0/2/0:1:2:4.
Configure channelized NxDS0 IQ interfaces on the channelized T1 IQ interface by including the partition, timeslots, and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces ct1-fpc/pic/port:channel] hierarchy level, specifying the ds interface type:
- [edit interfaces ct1-fpc/pic/port:channel:channel]
-
partition partition-number timeslots time-slot-range interface-type ds;
This configuration creates the interface ds-fpc/pic/port:channel.
The time-slot range is from 1 through 24. You can designate any combination of time slots. To configure ranges, use hyphens. To configure discontinuous time slots, use commas. You can use a combination of ranges and discontinuous time slots:
- 1,9-18,21
Configure channelized NxDS0 interfaces, using partition 4 and time slots 1 through 10.
- [edit interfaces]
- ct1-0/2/0:1:2:3 {
- partition 4 interface-type ds0 timeslots 1-10;
- }
This configuration creates interface ds-0/2/0:1:2:3:4.
