Avidia System File Management VIDIA YSTEM Each Avidia line, channel, and management card ships with the necessary system files preinstalled in NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory). Restoring System Files To restore system files for a card, copy a complete set of system files from the Avidia MuxWare™...
If you replace a management card, you can save the configuration files stored in the line and channel card RAM to the management card NVRAM. However, the management card configuration file containing all of the system profile information will be lost. Therefore, before replacing a management card, back up all of the configuration files from NVRAM, then restore the files onto the new management card.

REPARING FOR Follow these steps to prepare for initial Avidia system configuration. To configure an Avidia system that is already in service, begin with Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software to the management card craft port. See “Step 1: Connect a Terminal and Log On”...
Step 1: Connect a Terminal and Log On 1: C ONNECT A The first step in an initial Avidia system configuration is to set up a local connection to the command-line interface. You access the command-line interface locally by connecting either an ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the management card craft port.
2: S ET THE DDRESSES You set the management card IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (if one exists) to enable communication with external networks and to enable access to the Web interface. You cannot use IP addresses 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.21.255 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as these addresses are restricted for internal Avidia system use.
Step 2: Set the Management Card IP Addresses Examples ::ip=> addr 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 ::ip=> addr 192.168.0.1 ::ip=> addr 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.100 Setting the Gateway IP Address If a gateway exists on the network to which the Avidia system is attached and you did not configure the gateway with the IP address, type the defaultroute command in the following format then press ENTER...
3: S ELECT A You can perform most of the same system configuration and management functions using either the command-line interface or the Web interface. However, you can only manage user accounts using the Web interface. The command-line interface includes some on-screen help for basic commands and navigation, while the Web interface offers a more comprehensive online Help system to assist you.
Step 4: Select an Access Method and Complete Setup Accessing the Web Interface Using the Avidia Web interface requires: • a PC running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT, or a Solaris workstation • an Ethernet card installed in one of the expansion slots ®...

ONFIGURATION This chapter provides overview information about applications and technologies used in the Avidia system. Understanding the concepts discussed in this chapter will assist you during system configuration. For information about: ATM Traffic Configuration ATM Traffic Management ATM Virtual Circuits ATM Device Addresses Frame Relay Transmission SONET...
The following sections provide information on setting up an ATM network. ATM Traffic Configuration ATM traffic profiles are preconfigured combinations of traffic descriptors and related parameters, which define the traffic Quality of Service (QoS) contract. Traffic profiles are used to configure virtual circuits (VCCs and VPCs). During virtual circuit configuration you assign a traffic profile to each circuit.
Page 47
The following table lists traffic parameters that must be set when you configure ATM traffic profiles. Parameter Description PCR0+1 The peak cell rate to apply to both tagged and non-tagged cells, in cells per second. SCR0+1 The sustainable cell rate, or minimum guaranteed transmission rate, to be applied to all cells, in cells per second.
ATM Traffic Management ATM connections are assigned a traffic profile, which specifies the Quality of Service (QoS) that will be available to the connection. Avidia traffic management features ensure that each connection is able to maintain its specified QoS. ATM Traffic Management Features The following traffic management features are supported by the Avidia system: •...
Establishing a Connection When a new VC or VP is created, CAC compares the requested QoS with resources available for both upstream and downstream traffic. If the requested QoS is available for both directions, the connection is established. If the requested QoS is not available, CAC denies the connection request and generates an error message.
ATM Virtual Circuits ATM virtual circuits are logical connections in the ATM network over which ATM cells are transmitted between two points. Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs), supported by Avidia systems, comprise a Virtual Path Connection (VPC) and, frequently, multiple Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) within the VPC.
Page 51
Card OC3 and DS3 DSX-/T1 Cell-based ADSL Cell-based SDSL Before configuring ATM virtual circuits, complete the following: Set up xDSL service for the ports to be configured. Set up ATM traffic profiles for both upstream and downstream traffic. Map the ATM virtual circuits to be configured, including the VPIs and VCIs to be assigned, verifying the values with the preceding tables.
Frame Relay Transmission The following illustration shows an example of a configured PVC, including the specific VPI and VCI values associated with each segment of the connection. Subscriber VPI/VCI values are obtained from ADSL access provider VPI-0 VCI-100 Megabit Modem 700F 600F 500L...
Page 53
• Configure the FRF.5 or FRF.8 circuit for each port. This includes creating the cross connect through the Avidia system (from the line card to the IDSL frame card), and configuring cell loss priority, congestion control, and the traffic type. The available traffic types are: –...
SONET SONET The Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is the transport standard for transmitting data over fiber-optic cable. It supports data rates in the gigabit range, optical interfaces, network management, and diagnostic testing methods. SONET comprises four layers, as described in the following table: Layer Description Medium...
Dual Homing Through dual homing, a second network interface (DS1, DS3 or OC3 line card) is used in the Avidia system and provides support that includes: • backup or redundant PVCs with the same destination • static load sharing where traffic is directed separately to a primary and to a secondary line card, increasing the amount of traffic that you can send through the system (see page...
Page 56
Redundancy Backup ATM PVCs ATM service requires the configuration of ATM PVCs which comprise VPCs and VCCs. VPCs and VCCs are the logical connections over which ATM cells are transmitted; these are referred to as the primary VPCs and VCCs. You can create backup VPCs and VCCs to which the system can automatically switch in the event that primary VPCs or VCCs fail.
Page 57
Traffic Management for Dual Homing When implementing dual homing, you can create backup PVCs and configure static load sharing to both line cards in an Avidia system. Account for these variables when setting up a system: • the number of VPCs and VCCs that can be switched from a primary to a second line card •...
Redundancy Line Card Redundancy The Avidia system line cards provide two types of ATM connection redundancy: • connection redundancy between the line card and the destination ATM end system • line card redundancy, should a line card fail Connection Redundancy Between Line Card and ATM End System When a connection goes down between the line card and the destination ATM end system, the line card detects the failure and attempts to re-establish the connection by automatically retrying or re-routing it, using signaling.
Managing Traffic for Redundancy You can configure the Avidia system for static load sharing, using two installed line cards. However, if one line card fails, the second line card takes over the functionality of the failed line card, and re-establishes all the connections. This can result in too heavy a traffic load on the second line card.
Redundancy APS Modes What happens after traffic has switched to the protection channel depends on the APS configuration. There are three modes: • Non-Revertive mode prevents traffic from automatically switching back to the working channel when it becomes operational. In this mode, traffic remains on the protection channel until it is manually switched back to the working channel or the card is reset.
NBAND ANAGEMENT Inband management offers the ability to manage Avidia networks, including attached modems or subtended systems, from a Network Management System (NMS) or Element Management System (EMS), such as StarGazer. This management occurs over the same ATM network that is used for data transmission, but on a ATM PVC that you set up specifically for management.
Inband Management Inband to Avidia The Avidia system automatically creates two dedicated management PVCs to Megabit Modems 700F, 600F, and 500L. SNMP requests are sent to the Avidia system from an NMS/EMS. When the Avidia system receives the SNMP request, it either responds or forwards depending on the value of the community string (see the “Determining IP Addressing and Subnet Masks”...
Inband for Subtending Multiple Avidia systems can be implemented, viewed, and managed as if they were one system. This type of management is known as subtending. One system is connected at the edge of the network and is the subtending system. The other systems are managed by the subtending system.
Bridging and Routing Bridging and Spanning Tree Protocol You can configure bridging sessions that forward Ethernet data based on MAC addresses. A bridge moves information across a network from a source to a destination at the data link layer (of an OSI reference model). The information is sent to a physical address on the Ethernet interface known as a Media Access Control (MAC) address, which is preassigned by a manufacturer.
Static Routing. You can configure a session with a statically entered route. Through this function, the connection provides broadcast filtering and prevents eavesdropping by specifying destination gateways. With static IP routing, you can access only specific remote IP subnets or hosts. When setting parameters for an external router, configure a Static Route entry in any of the external routers that may have been specified as a Default Router or as a Gateway.
Page 66
Bridging and Routing You can set up ATM PVCs between cards in the Avidia system and to modems and run sessions over them. The maximum number of ATM PVCs that you can terminate on the AMC for bridging, routing, or brouting sessions is 96. See the table on of ATM PVCs that you can terminate on other Avidia cards.
Implementing Bridging/Routing/Brouting Sessions Use the Avidia command-line interface or the Web interface to set up bridge, router, or brouter sessions. The following lists procedures you must accomplish to configure sessions. You will find the tasks for these procedures in either the command-line interface or Web interface sections of this manual: •...

UBTENDING ULTIPLE Multiple systems can be implemented, viewed, and managed as if they were one system. This type of management is known as subtending. To subtend, connect and configure Avidia systems in one of two ways: a star configuration or a daisy chain configuration. In either implementation, multiple systems connect to one system that aggregates the transmission of all the attached systems and provides one network uplink.
Page 72
Subtending Multiple Systems In the deployment of xDSL services, subtending helps the service provider satisfy the customer’s demand for bandwidth against the WAN trunk capacities. Subtending helps to expand the availability of service more cost effectively and expand to the more remote subscribers.

Subtending Multiple Systems Star Management In a star configuration, you can attach up to three systems (subtended systems) directly to the one system that connects on the edge of the network (subtending system). The subtending system aggregates the traffic from the subtended systems, switches all the traffic (its own and that of the subtended systems), and provides the network uplink.
Page 75
The following sections describe how to select cards for the various subtending connections. The figures use the sample system shown above as an example. Select the uplink card. Install one card for the network uplink, such as the ATM switch shown to the right, in the subtending system.
Subtending Multiple Systems Select the subtended line cards. Install a card in the line-side of the subtended system (see the table on page 47) that is compatible with the card you selected in “Select the subtending channel cards” above. For example, if you select a DS1 card for subtending, then use one of the following: •...
Page 77
Configure Service. For each card that is subtending or subtended, configure the applicable service: • DS1/DSX-1: see “Configuring DS1 Service” on page 143 “Configuring DS1 Service” on page 417 • DS3: see “Configuring DS3 Service” on page 149 “Configuring DS3 Service” on page 422 •...
Subtending Multiple Systems Select Policing. The UPC policing function monitors and regulates traffic flow at the interface to ensure the traffic conforms to the configured traffic contract (see information about the traffic contract). Policing protects the network from intentional or unintentional changes in the traffic contract that could affect other connections.

Page 80
Subtending Multiple Systems Select the subtending channel card. Install a card in the channel-side of each of the first two systems that are subtending the downstream system, up to the maximum allowed number of cards (see the table on page •...
Daisy Chain Configuration Consider what traffic contract you need to set up for each connection and what policing, through the Usage Parameter Control (UPC), applies to the connection.The traffic contract and policing you select is dependent on the service you provide. The traffic contract and policing selection should maximize the network throughput and minimize end-to-end delays, thus efficiently utilizing the network.
Page 82
Subtending Multiple Systems Configure ATM Connections. Configure the cross connections (ATM circuits), using the profiles that you created for service (see the command-line interface or interface). Essentially, these are the connections you must set up, as shown in the following figure: •...
OAM A LARMS AND Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) provides a set of standard functions that the network uses for fault management that: • surveys alarms • performs loopback tests (connectivity verification) • provides continuity checks between ATM devices OAM testing is not disruptive to ATM virtual channels (VPCs and VCCs), which makes it ideal for testing and troubleshooting live ATM networks.
OAM Alarms and Loopbacks About ATM Loopbacks Avidia supports a fault management function that provides connectivity verification through ATM-layer loopback tests. You can run two different types of OAM loopbacks for both OAM flows F4 and F5: • segment • end-to-end The OAM loopbacks are supported on these Avidia cards: OC3, DS3, DS1/DSX-1, SDSL cell, and ADSL cell.
OAM Location ID OAM segment and end-to-end tests rely on OAM Location ID addresses to designate a source that originates the loopback test and a destination that is the target loopback device. The OAM Source Location ID address for Avidia systems is a unique sixteen-octet address and is entered in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where x is an integer 0 through 9 or an alpha character a through f.
Page 86
OAM Alarms and Loopbacks Checklist Use the following as a checklist of information or processes needed to perform OAM ATM-layer loopback tests: • Pre-configure all Avidia systems and ATM switches with an OAM Location ID. • Ensure that all links and loops under test are operational. •...

OAM Alarms and Loopbacks Avidia Channel Card to Modem Segment Loopback The ADSL modems (Megabit Modem 700F, 600F, and 500L software versions 2.6 and later) support F5 flow OAM loopbacks. (Megabit Modem 700F, 600F, and 500L software version 2.7 and earlier do not support F4 flow loopback for VPCs.) Since an xDSL modem terminates ATM service, the modem automatically loops back any OAM loopback cells it receives on any configured PVC.

Chapter 3: Applications and Configuration Overview Avidia Line Card to Modem End-to-End Loopback The ADSL modems (Megabit Modem 700F, 600F, and 500L software versions 2.6 and later) support F5 flow OAM loopbacks. (Megabit Modem 700F, 600F, and 500L software version 2.7 and earlier do not support F4 flow loopback for VPCs.) Since an xDSL modem terminates ATM service, the modem automatically loops back any OAM loopback cells it receives on any configured PVC.
OAM Alarms and Loopbacks Segment Loopback for a Subtended Avidia System Multiple systems can be implemented, viewed, and managed as if they were one system. This type of management is known as subtending. Avidia systems can subtend other Avidia systems or Avidia systems can be subtended by other ATM devices, such as ATM switches.
VIDIA LARM An Alarm Manager stores all the alarm information for the entire system. The alarm manager is stored on the management card, however each individual card installed in the system also stores alarm information for its own ports. If you replace the management card, the new management card retrieves the current alarm information from the individual cards to build a new alarm database.
Setting Up Connections ETTING ONNECTIONS The following sections list the tasks you need to perform to set up service for these interfaces. DS1 Line/Management Combination Card The DS1 line/management card acts as both a line and an AMC card, providing configuration and management support for the Avidia system as well as eight DS1 uplinks to transmit subscriber traffic as ATM cells.

ADSL The following shows the configuration process for setting up ADSL cell-based service. • Create one or more ADSL line profiles. See page 100 (command-line interface) or (Web interface).
AVING ONFIGURATIONS As soon as you make configuration changes, the information is saved to RAM on the management card and each of the cards affected by the configuration. However, if you unplug or reboot any of these cards before you manually save the configuration changes to NVRAM, the changes are lost.

Configuring APS ONFIGURING Avidia systems use Automatic Protection Switching (APS) to switch ATM traffic from the main SONET channel (the working channel) to a secondary SONET channel (the protection channel) when a failure occurs. This redundancy enables service to continue despite failures on the working SONET channel.
[-wtr <secs>] Omit this parameter if you selected the autonorev or norev for the APS mode. When the APS is set to rev, the Wait To Revert (WTR) timer specifies the number of seconds that you want the system to wait before switching traffic from the protection channel back to the working channel after a failure on the main channel has been cleared.
Configuring APS Parameters <slot> The slot number containing the OC3 card for which you want to issue a manual APS command. <(prot2workready|prot2work|work2prot|lockout|clear> The command you want to issue. • prot2workready conditions (such as the configured Wait To Revert Time or a failure condition) that prohibit switching to that channel.
