Configuring The Path Trace Identifier - Extreme Networks PoS Installation And User Manual

Configuring the PoS Module
The parameter is a string of up to 15 characters. By default, the <id_string>
id_string
parameter contains 15 NULL characters. This parameter applies only when SDH
framing is configured, in which case the SDH framing cycles repetitively through a
15-character string, sending one character per frame. If the configured string contains
fewer than 15 characters, it is padded to full length by NULL characters.
The following command example sets the Section Trace identifier to the string
"1800wombat" for port 1 of the PoS module installed in slot 8 of the BlackDiamond
switch.
config sonet trace section string 1800wombat ports 8:1

Configuring the Path Trace Identifier

Path trace is a maintenance feature of SONET. One byte of the Path Overhead
associated with each SONET frame is used to carry information identifying the
originating Path Terminating Equipment (PTE).
To configure the Path Trace identifier for the specified SONET port, use the following
command:
config sonet trace path <id_string> ports <portlist>
The parameter is a string of up to 64 characters. By default, the
id_string
parameter contains the IP address assigned to the VLAN to which the port belongs.
This IP address is represented in dotted-decimal notation. If no IP address is assigned to
the port's VLAN, the
When SONET framing is configured, a 64-character string is transmitted repetitively,
one character per frame. If the configured string consists of fewer than 64 characters, it
is padded to its full length with NULL characters.
When SDH framing is configured, the maximum length of the
15 characters. If the configured string consists of more than 15 characters, it is truncated
to 15 characters.
The following command example sets the Path Trace identifier to the string "parador"
for port 1 of the PoS module installed in slot 8 of the BlackDiamond switch.
config sonet trace path parador ports 8:1
