Roadmap for Configuring Channelized IQ Interfaces
To configure a channelized IQ interface, you must perform one or more of the following procedures:
- Configure a clear channel. A clear channel consolidates
the entire bandwidth of a channelized interface into a single unpartitioned
stream that looks like a standard interface. For example, a channelized
OC12 IQ interface configured as a clear channel appears to have an
OC12 SONET interface.
See Configuring a Clear Channel on a Channelized IQ Interface.
- Configure single-level channels. By configuring single-level
channels, you subdivide a channelized interface into a set of large
end channels.
See Configuring Single-Level Channels on a Channelized IQ Interface.
- Configure multilevel channels. You can subdivide a channelized
interface and then split these subchannelized interfaces into end
channels. Creating small end channels might require you to configure
multilevel channels.
See Configuring Multilevel Channels on a Channelized IQ Interface.
- Configure class of service. On channelized IQ interfaces, you can apply class of service at the logical interface level for Frame Relay data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs).
