Overview

Configuring, Managing, and Monitoring the IPLC

4
The IPLC base module provides the combined functionality of a 32-port reconfigurable
optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM), optical amplifier, optical equalizer, and optical
channel monitor on a single card. It enables ad-hoc allocation of network bandwidth for
high-demand, real-time applications, and network services that are delivered over an
optical fiber infrastructure. You can use the IPLC expansion module to increase the system
capacity to 64 channels.

Figure 1: IPLC Point-to-Point Configuration

Figure 1 on page 4 shows a typical IPLC point-to-point configuration. In this configuration,
the and ports on the front of the IPLC base modules are connected to
Line IN Line OUT
Juniper Networks' optical inline amplifier (ILA) in the optical fiber network. Optical ILA
nodes are typically placed into the network where the fiber length is greater than 80—100
km. For a complete description of the IPLC hardware and optical ILA, see the
Packet Transport Router with Integrated Photonic Line Card
For ring configurations and other configurations that require east-west communications,
you can connect two IPLC base modules together to form a two-degree node that consists
of two 32-port ROADMs, each with its own line termination. You can also express traffic
east-west on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis. You configure all channel routing
through software.
You can configure, manage, and monitor the components of the PTX3000 integrated
photonic line system in several ways. This section provides an overview of these methods
and their capabilities.

Junos OS CLI

Using the Junos OS CLI, you can configure, manage, and monitor IPLC modules in a similar
way to standard PTX3000 Series line cards—that is, by entering a minimum set of CLI
commands and making the proper physical connections between the various components
on the front panel of the line system.
Starting with Junos OS Release 17.1R1, you can configure and manage optical ILAs across
the optical supervisory channel (OSC) of the amplifier chain of the PTX3000 integrated
photonic line system.
