Understanding Optical Supervisory Channel Communication in the Amplifier

Chain on page 11
Starting with Junos OS release 17.1, you can control and manage optical inline amplifiers
(ILA) over the optical supervisory channel (OSC) of the PTX3000 integrated photonic
line system. This topic provides an overview of the OSC communication across the
PTX3000 integrated photonic line system when you are using Juniper Networks optical
inline amplifiers (ILA)s in the amplifier chain. It also describes the control and manage
capabilities of the optical ILA through the Junos OS CLI. The following sections are
included:
Understanding the Functional Components of the Optical Inline Amplifier on page 11
Understanding How the Optical ILA is Managed and Controlled on page 12
To understand OSC communications, it is helpful to understand the functional
components of the optical ILA. Understanding these components also helps when you
are configuring the optical ILA or interpreting status output through the Junos OS CLI.
The optical ILA is a bidirectional amplifier that provides optical gain for the dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) signal traversing the amplifier in each direction.
You can use the optical ILA in packet optical multispan linear networks, as well as
multispan ring networks.
