Pre-Provisioning A Port - Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M Interface Configuration Manual

Pre-provisioning a Port

On 7210 SAS chassis based platforms (for example, 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12) or those
that provide an expansion slot (for example, 7210 SAS-M), before a port can be configured, the
slot must be pre-provisoned with an allowed card type and/or the MDA must be preprovisioned
with an allowed MDA type.
Some recommendations to configure a port include:
•
Once ports are preprovisioned, Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) can be configured to increase
the bandwidth available between two nodes. Up to four links can be grouped. All physical links in
a given LAG combine to form one logical connection. A LAG also provides redundancy in case
one or more links that participate in the LAG fail. For command syntax, see

→ Configure an access port for customer facing traffic on which services are configured.
An encapsulation type may be specified in order to distinguish services on the port or
channel. Encapsulation types are not required for network ports.
To configure an Ethernet access port, refer to
→ Configure a network port to participate in the service provider transport or
infrastructure network.
To configure an Ethernet network port, refer to
