Configuring SONET
Alarm Indicators
Typically, a failure condition detected by a SONET chassis results in one or more error conditions sent both
upstream and downstream on the network. An AIS is sent in order to alert downstream chassis of a problem
and in order to prevent consequential downstream failures or alarms from being raised.
How to Configure SONET
This section describes how to configure SONET.
Each SFP port (0-7) can be configured as OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, or Gigabit Ethernet. SFP+ port (8) can be
configured as OC-192 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Note
To use the above features, you need to apply a valid license.
Prerequisites for Configuring SONET
You must select the MediaType controller to configure and enter the controller configuration mode.
You must configure the controller as a SONET port.
Configuring MediaType Controller
To configure MediaType Controller, use the following commands:
enable
configure terminal
controller MediaType 0/0/16
mode sonet
end
Configuring SONET Ports
To configure SONET ports, use the following commands:
enable
configure terminal
controller MediaType 0/0/16
mode sonet
controller sonet 0/0/16
rate OC12
end
The above example shows how to configure SONET ports in OC-12 mode.
