Feature Description

GMPLS UNI Support for OTN-XP and 2-QDD-C Cards

 Cisco IOS XR Release 7.10.1

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User Network Interface (UNI) support is enabled for OTN-XP and 2-QDD-C cards in NCS 1004. GMPLS UNI helps in optimizing the utilization of network resources.

For OTN-XP card the following data paths are allowed.

  • 2x100 - 200G MXP

  • 4x100 - 400G MXP

  • 40x10 - 400G MXP

  • 20x10 - 200G MXP

For 2-QDD-C card only 200G/300G/400G trunk rates are allowed with 100GE or OTU4 client payloads in both the muxponder and muxponder slice configurations.

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User Network Interface (UNI) or GMPLS UNI is a key technology that enables this integration. GMPLS UNI enables packet networks to directly tap into the optical transport control plane to coordinate its resource requirements with the optical transport network. Leveraging open standards, GMPLS UNI optimizes network resources and improves network utilization across packet and optical networks.

Channel Spacing

DWDM grid in the optical spectrum can be divided into multiple channels so that each channel can carry traffic independently. The number of channels that we receive from the DWDM grid depends on the channel spacing. For example, the lower the channel spacing, the higher the number of channels, and also conversely.

GMPLS has two types of channel spacing:

  • Fixed Grid channel spacing - The channel spacing is fixed to 50 GHz and supports 100 and 200-Gbps traffic.

  • Flexible Grid channel spacing - The channel spacing is 6.25 GHz and supports all data rates.


    Note

    NCS 1004 supports only flexible grid channel spacing.

    The neighbor flexi-grid-capable command enables GMPLS UNI flexible grid channel spacing. This command is executed during the LMP configuration configuration.


Note

  • From R7.10.1 onwards, GMPLS support is enabled for the OTN-XP and 2-QDD-C cards.

  • In the case of a signaled numbered or unnumbered circuit in NCS 2000 CTC, the circuit is discovered once the GMPLS signaling is established between the NCS 1004 source and destination nodes.

Use Case Overview

GMPLS UNI technology addresses the following customer needs in packet and optical networks:

  • Effective usage of the DWDM grid with minimal wastage of spectral bandwidth

  • Transmission of mixed bit-rate or mixed modulation data in a grid with different channel widths

To address these needs, you create a tunnel between two NCS 1004 nodes to carry traffic using the GMPLS UNI technology as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1. GMPLS UNI Reference Model
GMPLS UNI Reference Model

UNI-C is the client or packet or router node; for example, NCS 1004 nodes. UNI-N is the network or optical node; for example, NCS 2000 nodes.

The Link Management Protocol (LMP) link is created to establish connectivity between a NCS 2000 node and a NCS 1004 node. The tunnel is then created between the trunk interfaces of the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes to carry traffic. When the tunnel is created between NCS 1004 nodes, a circuit is internally created between the NCS 2000 nodes. The circuit is created to perform path computation, restoration, and reversion functions.

The tunnel can be created between the source and destination NCS 1004 nodes without involving NCS 2000 nodes in the middle. However, the restoration and reversion capabilities are provided only by the NCS 2000 nodes using GMPLS UNI.

Prerequisites

Before you create a tunnel using GMPLS UNI, fulfill these prerequisites:

  • NCS 1004 node must have both the MPLS and MPLS-TE packages. The package names are ncs1004-mpls and ncs1004-mpls-te-rsvp.

  • NCS 2000 node must have a valid license for ROADM and WSON support.

  • The management IP addresses of NCS 1004 and NCS 2000 nodes must be accessible.

  • The administrative state of the trunk port of the optics controller on the NCS 1004 node must not be in the shutdown state.

Limitations

Configuration Workflow

Perform the following tasks in sequence to create a tunnel using GMPLS UNI:

Configurations on the NCS 2000 node:

  1. GMPLS signaled LMP circuit creation.

  2. Retrieve Ifindex from NCS 2000 Node

Configurations on the NCS 1004 node:

  1. Configure LMP on Cisco NCS 1004 Node.

  2. Configure RSVP on NCS 1004 Node

  3. Configure MPLS Tunnel on a NCS 1004 Node.

Configure LMP and Alien Wavelength on NCS 2000 Node Using CTC for Signaled Numbered Circuit

This procedure creates a static LMP link to establish connectivity between a NCS 2000 node and a NCS 1004 node. The LMP creation wizard in CTC provides the capability to select source and destination endpoints of the LMP link, optical parameters, and alien wavelength settings.

Procedure

Step 1

From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2

Click the Provisioning > LMP tabs.

Step 3

Click Create.

The LMP Creation window appears.

Step 4

Click Signaled in the Router Not Managed by CTC area.

A wizard appears with the following options:

LMP Origination, LMP Termination, Optical Parameters, and Alien Wavelength

Step 5

In the LMP Origination screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • From the Originating Node drop-down list, choose the source node of the LMP.

    If the source node is Cisco NCS 1004, the destination node must be MSTP, and the other way round.

  • From the Local Interfaces drop-down list, choose an available interface.

  • Choose the Type, Shelf, Slot, and Port for Ingress Port Selection and Egress Port Selection.

  • Choose Numbered interface.

  • Enter the IP address of the source node in the Interface IP field.

  • Set the mode of revertive restoration to either UNI-C or UNI-N. If the mode is set to UNI-C, the reversion of the circuit from the restored path to the original path is initiated by the UNI client that is connected to NCS 1004. If the mode is set to UNI-N, the reversion of the circuit is initiated by the DWDM network and can either be a manual revert or an auto revert.

  • Enter the RSVP signaling interval and RSVP signaling missed values in the respective fields.

  • Click Next.

Step 6

In the LMP Termination screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • From the Terminating Node drop-down list, choose the destination node of the LMP; for example, MSTP node.

  • From the Rx Port Selection area, perform the following.

    • Choose the card type from the Type drop-down list.

    • Choose a shelf from the Shelf drop-down list.

    • Choose a source slot from the Slot drop-down list

    • Choose a port from the Port drop-down list.

  • From the Tx Port Selection area, perform the following.

    • Choose the card type from the Type drop-down list.

    • Choose a shelf from the Shelf drop-down list.

    • Choose a destination slot from the Slot drop-down list.

    • Choose a port from the Port drop-down list

  • Enter the IP address of the destination node in the Interface IP field.

  • Set the mode of revertive restoration to either UNI-C or UNI-N. If the mode is set to UNI-C, the reversion of the circuit from the restored path to the original path is initiated by the UNI client that is connected. If the mode is set to UNI-N, the reversion of the circuit is initiated by the DWDM network and can be either a manual revert or an auto revert.

  • Enter the remote Ifindex of NCS 1004 node (in decimals) in the Remote If Index field.

  • Click Next.

Step 7

In the Optical Parameters screen of the wizard, provision these parameters:

  • UNI State—Choose Enable or Disable from the UNI State drop-down list.

    The Enable state is used to configure the UNI interface for the circuits to pass through, between the router and the DWDM node. In the Disable state, the interface is configured but not active, and so the circuit activation is rejected. When the status is changed from Enable to Disable, all active circuits on the interface are deleted.

  • Description—Enter the description of the UNI interface. The description can be up to 256 characters.

  • Label—Enter an alphanumeric string. This label is a unique circuit identifier.

  • Validation—Sets the optical validation mode.

    • Full—The circuit is created when the circuit validation result is greater than or equal to the acceptance threshold value.

    • None—The circuit is created without considering the acceptance threshold value. The Opt Valid column in the Circuits tab displays the value as Not Valid.

    • Inherited—The restoration circuit inherits the validation and acceptance threshold values from the primary circuit.

  • Acceptance threshold—Sets the acceptance threshold value for the GMPLS circuit. The circuit is created if the actual acceptance threshold value is greater than, or equal to, the value set in this field.

    • Green—Indicates that the channel failure risk is 0%.

    • Yellow—Indicates that the channel failure risk is between 0% and 16%.

    • Orange—Indicates that the channel failure risk is between 16% and 50%.

    • Red—Indicates that the channel failure risk is greater that 50%.

  • Restoration—Check this check box to enable the restoration of the GMPLS circuits on the UNI interface.

  • Revert—Check this check box to enable the revert of the GMPLS circuits on the UNI interface.

  • Auto Revert—Click this radio button to automatically revert the circuit from the restored path to the original path after the failure is fixed, WSON alarms are acknowledged, and the soak time expires.

  • Manual Revert—Click this radio button to manually revert the circuit from the restored path to the original path after the failure is fixed, the WSON alarms are acknowledged, and the soak time expires.

  • Soak Time—Enter the time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) in the Soak Time field that the circuit on the restored path waits before moving to the original path after the failure is fixed. The circuit reverts to the original path after the soak time expires. The soak time must be set only if both the Restoration and Revert check boxes are checked.

Step 8

Click Next.

Step 9

In the Alien wavelength screen of the wizard, provision these parameters.

  • From the Alien Wavelength drop-down list, choose the alien wavelength class.

  • From the Trunk Selection drop-down list, choose 100G, 200G, or 250G.

  • From the FEC drop-down list, choose a valid value for forward error correction (FEC) mode. If an invalid FEC value is chosen, LMP link is created; however, the circuit creation fails.

  • Click Finish to create an LMP link.

    The newly created LMP link appears in the LMP table in CTC.
