Configuring the Wavelengths That Are Added and Dropped by the IPLC

By default, wavelengths on the IPLC ports are in blocked mode. You must configure the IPLC to add or drop a specifc wavelength. This topic describes the default wavelength mapping for the IPLC ports and how to configure the IPLC to add or drop a specific wavelength.

All port wavelength frequencies are controlled by the IPLC’s wavelength selective switch (WSS) and configured on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis.

Note:

IPLC ports can also be switched-in to an optical interface on the same chassis or a remote chassis, or you can express-in a wavelength to a different IPLC.

Before you start this procedure, make sure that you configure the wavelength on the remote optical interface so that the wavelength is compatible with the wavelength you are switching on the IPLC.

Table 1 lists the default port, frequency, and wavelength mapping for both of the IPLC modules. The wavelength you want to support must be listed in Table 1.

You can configure the IPLC to switch a particular wavelength to an optical interface on a remote chassis.

To configure an IPLC port to add or drop a specific wavelength:

  1. From the Junos Space user interface, click the Build icon on the Connectivity Services Director banner.

    The workspaces that are applicable to Build mode are displayed on the Tasks pane.

  2. From the View selector, select Device View.

    The functionalities that you can configure in this view are displayed.

  3. From the Device View pane, click the plus sign (+) next to the My Network tree to expand the tree and select the PTX300 router for which you want to define the optical IPLC settings.

    The network tree is expanded and the selected device is highlighted.

  4. From the Tasks pane, select Device Management > View Physical Inventory.

    An image of the device is displayed on the right pane.

  5. In the image of the device, select an optical IPLC—for example, an optical IPLC installed in a PTX3000 router.

    The Component Info dialog box is displayed. At the lower part of the dialog box, the Equipment, Status/Config, Performance, and Line Connectivity tabs are displayed.

  6. Click the Status/Config tab at the bottom of the dialog box.

    The IPLC Line dialog box is displayed on the right pane with the configuration settings that pertain to the IPLC.

  7. Specify the FPC or PIC slot in which the IPLC base module resides by selecting the slot in the Chassis View.

    For example, if the IPLC base module resides in slot 1, select the IPLC 1 component in the image of the chassis.

  8. Specify the wavelength number for the IPLC. For example, for wavelength 1550.12, select the Show All Wavelengths check box, beside the 1550.12 row in the wavelength column, modify the values in the configuration and end-point columns as necessary for this wavelength.
  9. Click Update to save the specified configuration settings.
