file ex-script.xsl;
}
} } interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable; unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
} }
x
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf load complete

Merging a Snippet

To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# edit system scripts [edit system scripts]
xi
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts] user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf load complete

Optical Inline Amplifier Description

IN THIS SECTION
Front Panel | 18
FRU Panel | 19
The Juniper Networks Optical Inline Amplifier is a stand-alone erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with dual AC or DC power supplies. The optical inline amplifier (ILA) supports bidirectional optical inline amplification. The optical ILA provides periodic amplification of a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) signal to enable long-distance transmission as it propagates along the fiber-optic cable. Optical ILAs are typically placed between 50 miles (80 km) and 62 miles (100 km) apart along the length of the fiber. They are used in conjunction with the integrated photonic line cards (IPLCs) that are installed in the Juniper Networks PTX3000 Packet Transport Routers. An optical ILA connects to an IPLC through the LINE IN and LINE OUT LC port connectors on the front panel. It also connects to other optical ILAs through the same LC port connectors.
The optical ILA operates with redundant hot-swappable pluggable power supplies that are either AC or DC. The optical ILA can be managed by using Connectivity Services Director (CSD), or by using the CLI console commands. The optical ILA does not run the Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS).
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. For information about
managing the ILAs over the OSC of the the IPLCs, see the Integrated Photonic Line Card (IPLC) System User Guide.
Figure 1 on page 18 shows a point-to-point configuration with the optical ILA and IPLC.
Figure 1: Point-to-Point Configuration
In this example, the optical ILA is connected to the IPLC in the PTX3000 chassis, which is connected to compatible PICs in the same chassis through the add and drop ports. The multiplexed wavelengths from the IPLC are amplified and transmitted in a single fiber toward the line (through the Line OUT port on the IPLC), which is connected to the optical ILA (through the LINE IN port on the ILA). Based on the distance, you can have multiple ILAs connected. In this example, there are three ILAs to enable long-distance transmission.

For more information about the IPLCs, see the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide. For information about configuring the IPLCs, see the Integrated Photonic Line Card (IPLC) System User Guide.
Front Panel
The front panel of the optical ILA contains six LC port connectors, the ON/OFF button, the console and management ports, the system status LEDs, and the USB ports. Figure 2 on page 18 shows the front panel of the optical ILA.

The cooling system in an optical ILA consists of three 12.4-W fan modules. These fan modules can be hot-swapped—you do not need to power off the optical ILA or disrupt the functioning of the optical ILA to replace a fan module. The optical ILA has two 150-W power supplies, either AC or DC depending on your configuration. The power supplies need to be both AC or both DC. Only one power supply is required to power the device, while the second power supply provides redundancy.

Optical ILA Component Redundancy

The following hardware components provide redundancy on the optical ILA models:
Cooling system—The optical ILA has three fan modules. Each fan module is a redundant unit containing
one fan. If a fan module fails and the remaining fan modules are unable to keep the optical ILA within the desired temperature thresholds, chassis alarms are raised and the optical ILA can shut down.
The optical ILA ships with two power supplies that provide 1+1 redundancy. If one power supply fails
or is removed, the second power supply balances the electrical load without interruption and still provides 1+1 redundancy while the failing power supply is replaced.

Optical ILA Field-Replaceable Units

Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The optical ILA FRUs are hot-removable and hot-insertable—you can remove and replace them without powering off the optical ILA or disrupting the optical ILA function.
20
CAUTION: Replace a failed fan module with a new fan module within 30 seconds of
removal to prevent chassis overheating.
Table 4 on page 20 lists the FRUs for the optical ILA and actions to take before removing them.

The cooling system in an optical ILA consists of three 12.4-W fan modules. The fan modules can be hot-swapped—you do not need to power off the optical ILA or disrupt the optical ILA function to replace a fan module.
The optical ILA has two 150-W power supplies, either AC or DC depending on your configuration. The power supplies need to be both AC or both DC—you cannot mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis. Only one power supply is required to power the device, while the second power supply provides redundancy. When the optical ILA has both power supplies installed and connected to power, the device has full power redundancy. If a power supply fails or is removed, another power supply balances the electrical load without interruption. Each power supply provides 12 VDC output with a standby voltage of 12 VDC. The power supplies can be hot-swapped—you do not need to power off the optical ILA or disrupt the optical ILA function to replace a power supply.

Optical ILA Chassis Status LEDs

The optical ILA has five status LEDs on the front panel of the chassis (see Figure 8 on page 25)—two optical supervisory channel (OSC) status LEDs (OSC A and OSC B), a system status LED (SYS), an alarm LED (ALM), and a power LED (PWR). The OSC is a separate channel that carries overhead information for network management purposes. The OSC, which is an important section in every DWDM system, is a separate channel that carries overhead information for network purposes. For instance, it carries data between sites for monitoring and controlling specifications in the system.

Figure 9 on page 27 shows the management panel in detail.
27
You can also manage the optical ILA through Connectivity Services Director (CSD), which is a Junos Space application developed to manage the optical functionality provided by optical ILAs and integrated photonic line cards (IPLCs) that are installed in the PTX3000 routers. CSD is managed over a data communications network (DCN). CSD presents a topological network view in an intuitive, comprehensive, and cohesive manner that enables you to visualize optical sites, links, and services and a site view that provides status, configuration, alarms/faults, and performance monitoring functionality on the optical interfaces. By using CSD, you can perform the following tasks on an optical ILA:
View the optical interface specifications that are currently applied on the device, such as wavelength
and power.
Modify the existing parameters of the optical port to suit your network needs or resolve any alarms
caused by certain interface settings.
View the active alarms generated for the optical interface to analyze and resolve the condition that
triggered the alarm on the device.
Configure threshold crossing alarms (TCAs) for the optical interface.
View the performance monitoring details in statistical and graphical formats for the optical interface.
NOTE: See the Connectivity Services Director User Guide for more information.

Link is up.
There is data activity.
The cooling system in an optical ILA consists of three 12.4-W fan modules installed in the field-replaceable unit (FRU) panel and two counter-rotating fans housed in each of the power supplies.
In the optical ILA's cooling system, cool air enters through the vents in the front panel and hot air exhausts through the fans in the FRU panel. This type of airflow is known as airflow out or front-to-back airflow. When installed, the chassis must be positioned so that the FRUs are next to the hot air exhaust.
NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, the fan modules operate at a moderate speed.
Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis. The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range.

Fan Modules

The fan modules in an optical ILA are hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs. These fan modules can be hot-swapped—you do not need to power off the optical ILA or disrupt the optical ILA function to replace a fan module. The fan module slots are numbered 0 through 2 from left to right when viewing chassis from the FRU panel side (see Figure 11 on page 30). Figure 12 on page 30 shows the fan module for the optical ILA. The numbers are located on the top of the chassis.
Figure 11: Fan Numbering
Figure 12: Fan Module
30
NOTE: All three fan modules must be installed for optimal operation of the optical ILA. The
optical ILA continues to operate for a period of 30 seconds during the replacement of the fan module without thermal shutdown.

Optical ILA AC Power Supply Description

The AC power supplies in the optical ILA (see Figure 14 on page 32) are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs) that you can install without powering off the optical ILA or disrupting the functioning of the optical ILA. The optical ILA has two AC power supplies. Both the power supplies are initially installed at the factory. See Figure 13 on page 31 for the power numbering scheme, the power supply number (0 or 1) is located on the top of the chassis.
Figure 13: Power Supply Numbering
Figure 14: AC Power Supply in an Optical ILA
31 Power plug connectorPower cord retainer
42 Ejector leverHandle
Each of the 150-W power supplies has a single AC input. The power supply provides 12-VDC output with a standby voltage of 12 VDC. An optical ILA has twice the number of power supplies needed to power all of the components in the device, which is known as 1+1 redundancy. When the optical ILA has both power supplies installed and connected to power, the device has full power redundancy. If a power supply fails or is removed, another power supply balances the electrical load without interruption.
32
The fans in the power supply provide front-to-back airflow, which is also known as airflow out (AFO).
CAUTION: To avoid electrical injury, carefully follow instructions in “Connecting AC
Power to an Optical ILA” on page 63, “Installing an AC Power Supply in an Optical ILA” on page 98, and “Removing an AC Power Supply from an Optical ILA” on page 96.

Optical ILA Chassis Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications

For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, the optical ILA must be adequately grounded before power is connected to ensure proper operation and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. To ground an optical ILA, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points.
WARNING: The device is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth ground for installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis.
CAUTION: Before device installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable
lug to the grounding cables that you supply. See “Connecting the Optical ILA Grounding
Cable” on page 62. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the optical
ILA.
Before connecting the optical ILA to earth ground, review the following information:
A protective earthing terminal bracket is required for connecting the optical ILA to earth ground. This
two-holed bracket is attached to the rear of the optical ILA chassis and provides a protective earthing terminal for the device. The grounding points require two #10-32 UNF screws. The grounding points are spaced at 0.63 in. (16 mm).
The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-14BH-L or equivalent (not provided). The grounding lug
accommodates 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire.
The grounding cable that you provide for an optical ILA must be the same size or heavier than the input
wire of each power supply. Minimum recommendations are 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire, 60° C wire, or as permitted by local code.

Optical ILA Environmental Requirements and Specifications

The optical ILA must be installed in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the
efficiency of the optical ILA cooling system.
Maintain ambient airflow for normal optical ILA operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if
the intake air is too warm, the chassis might overheat, leading to the optical ILA temperature monitor shutting down the device to protect the hardware components.
Table 14 on page 44 provides the required environmental conditions for normal operation of the optical
ILA .

and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Optical ILA Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance

When planning the site for an optical ILA installation, you must allow sufficient clearance around the installed chassis (see Figure 18 on page 45).
Figure 18: Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for an Optical ILA
45
Follow these guidelines:
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See
“Optical ILA Cooling System Description” on page 29 for more information about the airflow through
the chassis.
If you are mounting an optical ILA in a rack or cabinet with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust
from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the optical ILA chassis.
You must leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the optical ILA. For service personnel
to remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of the optical ILA. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.

GuidelinesRack Requirement
47
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Rack connection to building structure
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1.25 in. (or 3.17 cm), so that the optical ILA can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Ensure that the rack complies with the standards for a 19-in. or 23-in. rack as defined
in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the optical ILA
chassis. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
Ensure that the front and rear rack rails are spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in.
(91.4 cm) front-to-back.
Ensure that the rack is strong enough to support the weight of the optical ILA.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around
the optical ILA and rack.
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum
stability.

Optical ILA Cabinet Requirements

You can mount optical ILA models in a cabinet that contains a two-post 19-in. or four-post rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-E) published by the Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
Cabinet requirements consist of:
Cabinet size and clearance
Cabinet airflow requirements
Table 17 on page 48 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications for the optical ILA.
Table 17: Cabinet Requirements for the Optical ILA
GuidelinesCabinet Requirement
48
Cabinet size and clearance
Cabinet airflow requirements
The minimum cabinet size for accommodating an optical ILA is 18 in. (45.7 cm) deep. Large cabinets improve airflow and reduce the chance of overheating.
NOTE: The DC version of the optical ILA conforms to the ETSI 300 mm
cabinets.
When you mount the optical ILA in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet adequately
dissipates the thermal output of the optical ILA (and other installed equipment).
Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air of the chassis to exit
the cabinet without recirculating into the optical ILA. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the optical ILA in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space
on the field-replaceable unit (FRU) side of the chassis. This maximizes the clearance for critical airflow. The optical ILA exhausts hot air through the fans and power supplies.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from
the optical ILA.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets allows for the proper
clearance around the optical ILA and cabinet.

Connecting the Optical ILA to the Network and External Devices

The optical ILA provides signal amplification to boost the dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) signal as it propagates along the fiber-optic cable. It is used to connect to trunk fibers to enable long-distance transmission over many hundreds of kilometers of fiber-optic cable. Two pairs of the LC ports on the front panel of the chassis are used for this purpose. Typically, either another optical ILA or an IPLC (installed in a PTX3000 router) is connected at the far end of this trunk fiber, which could be as far as 62 miles (100 km) away depending on the availability and condition of the fiber plant. Additionally, the optical monitor ports can be connected through the LC single fiber cables to measurement equipment and test equipment such as optical spectrum analyzers or optical power monitors that are used for testing, monitoring, and debugging.

Installing a Power Supply in an Optical ILA

97
The power supplies in an optical ILA are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs)—you can remove and replace them without powering off the optical ILA or disrupting the ILA functions.
CAUTION: Replace the power supply within 1 minute of removal to prevent chassis
overheating. Before removing the power supply, ensure that you have a replacement power supply available.
Before you install a power supply in an optical ILA, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on
page 153).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
ESD grounding strap
To install a power supply in an optical ILA (see Figure 30 on page 98 and Figure 31 on page 98):
1. To prevent damage to the equipment caused by static discharge, attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Taking care not to touch power supply components, pins, leads, or solder connections, remove the power supply from its bag.
3. Using both hands, place the power supply in the power supply slot on the FRU panel of the optical ILA and slide it in until it is fully seated and the locking lever slides into place.

See “Connecting AC Power to an Optical ILA” on page 63 to connect the AC power supply. See “Connecting
DC Power to an Optical ILA” on page 66 to connect the DC power supply.
NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated power source outlet.
NOTE: If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade of
hardware components at https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/. Failure to do so can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace existing components with the same type of component.

Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable

Juniper Networks devices have optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin to disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the device:
1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:
[edit interfaces] user@device# set interface-name disable
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.
3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
100
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
