Traffic Protection Application; 1+1 Msp Traffic Protection; Provisioning Msp Protected Connections - Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6130 Planning Manual

6-18 OAM&P description

Traffic Protection application

The user performs provisioning of traffic protection by selecting the MSP
groups application in the Configuration main menu of the local craft access
terminal. The protection provisioning application displays the protection
provisioning data and allows the user to perform the following actions:
•
•
•
•
•
The SNCP protection configuration is provisioned upon creation of the nodal
cross-connect or the VC association for Ethernet services. For more details on
the local craft access terminal applications used to provision SNCP traffic
protection, refer to

1+1 MSP traffic protection

1+1 MSPtraffic protection is supported for the STM-1/4 interfaces to provide
line traffic protection. 1+1 MSP traffic protection uses the 1+1 MSP protocol
to handshake between adjacent network elements to determine when a
protection switch should occur. All of the paths within the line are protected
together.

Provisioning MSP protected connections

The user performs protection group provisioning from the MSP groups
application in the Configuration main menu of the local craft access terminal.
The user creates the 1+1MSP protection group for the STM-1/4 interfaces
located on the 2x155/622M aggregate circuit pack or the 2x155M tributary
circuit packs.
The working and protection ports of the 1+1 MSP traffic protection group must
be provisioned on the same slot (i.e. slot 6 ports 1 and 2) for the STM-1/4
interfaces of the 2x155/622M aggregate circuit pack.

change the protection scheme from 1+1 MSP to unprotected for the
STM-1/4 interfaces. This operation can be performed only when no
connection is provisioned on the 1+1 MSP protection group.
change the protection scheme from unprotected to 1+1 MSP for the
STM-1/4 interfaces. This operation can be performed only when no
connection is provisioned on the ports that will be used in 1+1 MSP
protection group.
change the protection switching mode from unidirectional (1WAY) to
bidirectional (2WAY) and vice versa for the STM-1/4 interfaces of the 1+1
MSP protection group
operate or release a user-initiated switch request on the 1+1 MSP group for
the STM-1/4 interfaces

Note: The default traffic protection mode on the OME6130 network
element is unprotected.
