Chapter 1
About the Passport 8683POS Module

The Passport 8683POS Module provides network transmission using packet over
Synchronous Optical Net work (SONET) services . The Passport 8683POS Module
for the Passport 8600 series routing switches provides WAN support to the
Passport product line by allowing access to SONET services in the metropolitan
area. Where multiple campuses exist in a single metropolitan area, you can
connect these campuses without compromising performance or increasing
complexity.

The Passport 8683POS Module is a baseboa rd with s lots fo r three of the following
two optiona l media depe ndent adapte rs (MDAs):

• 1-port OC-12c/STM-4: single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF)
using SONET/SDH

• 2-port OC-3c/STM-1: SMF or MMF using SONET/SDH

23

The Passport 8683POS Module supports up to six input/output (I/O) OC-3c/
STM-1 lines and up to three I/O OC-12 lines. You can mix these MDAs on a
single Passport 8683POS Modul e. For example , you can put an OC-12 MDA into
the first slot and OC-3 MDAs into the two remaining slots. For information on OC
lines, PPP, and SONET, refer to Chapter 2, “Using the Passport 8683POS

Module,” on page 29.

You can put more than one Passport 8683POS Modul e in the Pas sport 8600 seri es
chassis, except slots 5 and 6, which are reserved for the Passport 8690 Switch
Fabric (SF) modules. The maximum number of modules on a chassis is four.

One Passport 8690 SF module acts as the CPU for the chassis, and the other
module is the standby CPU, taking over in case of failure. If a CPU failover
occurs, all traffic on the chassis stops momentarily while the standby CPU
reinitializes all input/output modules.

Chapter 2
Using the Passport 8683POS Module

A typical application consists of a single Passport 8683POS Module in an
Passport 8600 seri es switch, but mul tiple modules ar e also support ed. This chapte r
briefly explains how the Passport 8683POS Module operates within the Passport
switch.

A typical network application of the Passport 8683POS Module is a direct
connection between one Passport 8600 series switch with a Passport 8683POS
Module in one campus to an identical module in another Passport 8600 series
switch at another campus connected over a SONET ring. Using this connection,
you achieve an intercampus link through packet over SONET (POS) technology.

This chapter contains the following informatio n:

• “SONET transmission,” next

• “Spanning tree group feature” on page 33

29

SONET transmission

You can connect the Passport 8683POS Module through a Synchronous Optical
Network (SONET) termination multiplexor to extend the range of the wide area
network (WAN) connections. Or , you can connect the Passpor t 8683POS Module,
using fiber, directly to a POS interface on another Passport routing switch or on a
traditional router.

The SONET frames received from the WAN contain IP packets encapsulated in
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) that are converted by the Passport 8683POS
Module into an Ethernet format. Similarly, the Passport 8683POS Module
receives Ethernet frames and converts them into PPP packets for transmission
over SONET.

Using the P assport 8683POS Module

30 Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module

SONET terms and acronyms

This section provides a brief listing of common Synchronous Optical Network
(SONET) terms. SONET is a medium fo r transmittin g data that use s fiber-optic
cables.

The following terms and acronyms are frequently used with SONET information:

• SONET: Synchronous Optical Network. SONET is a family of fiber optic
transmission rates that provides th e flexibility to transport many digital
signals with different capacities. This ANSI standard provides for
transmission from OC-1 to OC-48 and greater.

• SDH: Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. SDH is a standard technology for
optical fiber-based synchronous data transmission. SDH is the international
equivalent of SONET.

• OC-3c/STM-1: Optical Carrier-level 3 concatenation. OC-3c/STM-1 is an
optical fiber tr ans mi ss io n system that carrie s STS -3c /STM -1 frame structures
at 155 Mb/s. Concatenat ion re fers to t he fact t hat there is only one logical data
stream (rather than supporting a channelized structure).

• OC-12c/STM-4: Optical Carrier -level 12 concate nation. OC-1 2c/STM-4 i s an
optical fiber transmission system that carries STS-12c/STM-4 frame
structures at 622 Mb/s. Concatenation refers to the fact that there is only one
logical data stream (rather than supporting a channelized structure).

• POS: Packet over SONET.

• PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol. PPP encapsulates common network-layer

protocols in specialized Network Control protocol packets, such as IP over
PPP (IPCP) and IPX over PPP (IPXCP), and BCP. Thus, it enables sending
multiprotocol data ove r point-to-point links.

209564-A

SONET/SDH transmission rates

The following transmission rates are commonly used with SONET:

• OC-3c/STM-1: 155.52 Mb/s

• OC-12c/STM-4: 622.08 Mb/s

The SONET specification defines optical both as:

Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module 31

• Single-mode fiber (SMF)

• Multimode fiber (MMF).

Note: The esti mated maximum transmis sion dista nce for OC-3 c SMF is
20 kilometers (km); for OC-3c MMF is 2 km; for OC-12c SMF is 15 km;
for OC-12c MMF is 500 m.

Point-to-Point Protocol

The PPP family of protocols is divided into three categories:

• Control protocols control operation and maintenance of the PPP link.

• Network protocols describe the encapsulation methods needed to move

multiprotocol network traffic over the PPP interface.

• Network control protocols are used to configure, manage, and control the
operation of the network protocols. The Passport 8683POS Module uses the
Link Control Protocol (LCP) and the Link Quality Report to monitor the link.

PPP goes through the foll owing ba sic i nitial izati on pha ses when br inging up li nks:

• Link establishment

• Network layer protocol

Establishing the PPP link

The Link Control Protoc ol (LCP) of the PPP hel ps est ablis h a li nk. LCP gene ra tes
three types of packets:

• Link configuration packets, including configure-request, configure-ACK,
configure-NAK, and configure-reject packets

• Link termination packets, including terminate-request and terminate-ACK
packets

• Link maintenance packets, including code-reject, protocol-reject,
echo-request, and echo-reply packets

When two devices initialize a PPP dialog, each sends a configure-request packet
to the other. Each configure-request packet contains a list of LCP options and
corresponding values that the sending device uses to define its end of the link.

Using the Passport 8683POS Module

32 Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module

For example, a configure-request packet may specify the link’s maximum
transmission unit (MTU) size. The configure-request packet contains the
user-configured values, which the sending device and the receiving device may
need to negotiate.

When the receiving device gets a configure-request packet from the sending
device, the receiving device responds with one of the following three types of
packets:

• configure-ACK (that is, configure acknowledgment),

• configure-reject, or

• configure-NAK (that is, configure negative acknowledgment).

When the receiving device accepts the proposed LCP options, it responds with a
configure-ACK packet. When the devices on each side of the link send and
receive configure- ACK pa cke ts , the LCP adv anc es to an open state, which mea ns
that the PPP interface can advance to the next phase. The devices converge.

When the configure-request packet from the sending device contains options that
the receiving device is not willing to negotiate, the receiving device sends back a
configure-reject packet specifying the nonnegotiable options. From that point on,
configure-request packets from the sending device should eliminate the
unacceptable options. When the sending device eliminates the offending options,
the devices converge.

When the receiving device disagrees with some or all of the values of the
proposed options in the configure-request packet, it responds with a
configure-NAK packet. The configure-NAK packet notes the values that the
receiving device disagrees with, and it includes the corresponding values that the
receiving device would like to see in subsequent configure-request packets.

LCP negotiations between sending and receiving devices continue until either:

• Both devices converge (reach an agreement regarding the configure-request).

• The receiving device tr an smits a s pecif ied number of conf igure -NAK packet s

before sending a configure-reject packet.

• The convergence timer expires.

209564-A

Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module 33

Negotiating network layer protocols

PPP uses various network contr ol proto cols to det ermine the values of para meters
during network layer ne gotiations, which is the final phase of PPP initialization.
Similar to the LCP, each network control protocol allows the devices to negotiate
various network options over the data link by transmitting configure-request,
configure-ACK, configure-NAK, and configure-reject packets.

Networks options inc lud e whi ch n etwo rk a ddr esses to use and which media types
to bridge. Once both devices agree upon networks options, the network control
protocol reaches the open state. The devices then begin transmitting user data
packets for upper-layer protocols over the link.

Spanning tree group feature

The BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) format specified in RFC 1638 is enabled
by default on the Passport 8683POS Module. If su pport for mult iple spanni ng tree
groups is required, the B PDU default format must first be disabled. For
information on changing the STG format, see “config pos ppp” on page 95.

Initialization

When the Passport 8683POS Module is installed into a Passport 8600 series
chassis, ensure that the Passport 8690SF module in the same chassis has a
PCMCIA card inserted and that the PCMCIA card contains the p80p3100.dld
image, which supports the Passport 8683POS Module. For more information
about the PCMCIA slot and the Passport 8690SF module, refer to Using the
Passport 8600 Modules.

209564-A

The Passport 8690SF module retrieves the image file p80t3100.dld to download
to the Passport 8683POS Modu le. Fir st, the Passpor t 8690SF modu le s earche s the
host flash memory for the file, then the PCMCIA card. The Passport 8690SF
module downloads the image file to the Passport 8683POS Module and identifies
which MDAs are installed. The screen displays following message:

Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file

name and image size.)

If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PCMCIA, the
screen displays this message:

POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.

If the image download is unsuccessful, the s cr een displays the foll owing message:

Card is off line.

Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module 41

The Passport 8683POS Module requests a redownload from the Passport 8690SF
module, and the screen displays this message:

Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.

The Passport 8683POS Module attempts a redownload three times. If the
download is still un successf ul, th e Passport 8683POS Module goes of fline and the
screen displays this message:

Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3
times; POS card is offline.

When the Passport 8683POS Module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0.
After the image loads onto the Passport 8683POS Module, it performs a series of
self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the screen displays the
following message:

Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed
diagnostics.

If you see this message, contact a service representative. For information on
contacting service representatives, refer to “How to get help” on page 21.

When the image successfully loads onto the Passport 8683POS Module, the
screen displays the fo llowing mes sage:

POS card in slot <number> is online.

The Passport 8690SF Module can download the image to multiple Passport
8683POS Modules in the same Passport 8600 series chassis simultaneously.

Note: If you accidentally delete the image file, reset the card and
redownload the file. For information on how to reset the card , see

“Resetting the module” on page 50.

Using the Passport 8683POS Module

42 Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module

If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the Passport
8683POS Module.

Note: You must save your conf iguration (us ing eithe r the CLI or Dev ice
Manager) to preserve the configuration changes you made to the
Passport 8683POS Module across reboots.

MDA insertion and configuration

Once you insert an MDA, you must complete some basic configuration tasks for
the Passport 8683POS Module to begin switching operations as soon as it
completes initialization. For information on installing MDAs, refer to Installing

the Passport 8683POS Module MDAs.

To verify that the Passport 8683POS Module is ready to receive and transmit
traffic, check the LEDs on the module and the MDA. Once you enable the ports
using the CLI or Device Manager, the online LED on the module lights steady
green, and the module is read y. See “Online LED” on page 27 and “MDA LEDs”

on page 28.

209564-A

For information on enabling ports, refer to “Enabling or disabling a port” on

page 59.

You configure and manage the Passport 8600 series switch operation for your
network using the command line interface (CLI) or SNMP-based network
management software, such as Device Manager. For information on configuring
and managing the Passport 8683POS Module, refer to Chapter 4, “Managing the

Passport 8683POS Module,” on page 45.

Factory default settings for the Passport 8683POS Module are shown in Table 9

on page 54.

Replacing a module

You can hot-swap Passport 8683POS Modules as long as the module you are
removing has the same MDAs installed as the module you are inserting. In this
case, the system saves the configuration. If you hot-swap the module with a
module that has different MDAs installed, you must reconfigure the module.

If you are hot-swapping modules, read the following section for information about
how the routing switch recognizes replacement modules and how to avoid
potential problems.

Warning: The Passport 8683POS Module itself is hot-swappable; the
MDAs necessary to pass traffic on the module are not hot-swappable.

Starting the system after a module replacement

After you replace a module on your chassis, you can expect the following results:

Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module 43

• In a running system, when you replace an input/output (I/O) module with a
module of the same type, the sy stem res tores the conf igurat ion of al l the po rts.

• When you replace a module with one of a different type, the system discards
the configuration of the old ports, and the new ports are added to either the
default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the
switch.

• When you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory
(NVRAM), turn off the switch, replace a module with a different module
type, and turn the system on again, the system discards the configuration of
the old ports, a nd adds new por ts t o eit her t he def ault VLAN or an unassi gned
VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.

Starting the system with an empty slot

When you save the configuration in NVRAM, shut down the system, remove a
module, turn on the chassis with that slot empty, and then populate the slot with a
module of the same type as the one previously there, the system is not able to
restore the original configuration.

Managing the Passport 8683POS Module

Two management tools enable you to manage the Passport 8683POS Module:
Device Manager and command line interface (CLI). You can also use the
embedded web-based management feature to monitor the Passport 8683POS
Module. See Chapter 7, “Web management,” on page 131 for information on
using the web-based management feature.

This chapter contains information on these topics:

• “Port numbering,” next

• “Device Manager” on page 46

• “Command line interface” on page 53

• “Configuration procedures” on page 54

• “Trap feature” on page 71

• “SONET loopback test feature” on page 75

Port numbering

You must insert an MDA into the Passport 8683POS Module in order to have
connectivity. The module contains three slots for MDAs, and you can mix and
match from among the following MDAs, which are available (SMF and MMF):

• 1-port OC-12c/STM-4

• 2-port OC-3c/STM-1

The management system identifies an interface by its slot number in the Passport
8600 series chassis an d its port n umber, using the syntax slot number/por t number
(s/p). Because the Passport 8683POS Module can have up to six ports with three
2-port MDAs inserted, port numbers 1 and 2 are reserved for the MDA in the left

Using the P assport 8683POS Module

46 Chapter 4 Managing the Passport 8683POS Module

slot regardless of t he a ctual physical number of ports. Port numbers 3 an d 4 a ppl y
to the MDA in the middle slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports;
and port numbers 5 and 6 apply to the MDA in the right slot regardless of the
physical number of ports.

For example, a Passport 8683POS Module in the sec ond slot of the Passpor t 8600
series chassis with an OC-12c/STM -4 MDA in the left slot, an OC-3c/STM-1
MDA in the middle, and an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA in the right slot has the
following port numbers for management and configuration:

• 2/1: OC-12c/STM-4

• 2/3: OC-3c/STM-1, left port

• 2/4: OC-3c/STM-1, right port

• 2/5: OC-12c/STM-4

As another example of port numbering, an Passport 8683POS Module in the
second slot of the chassis with an OC-3c/STM-1 MDA in the left slot, the middle
slot blank, and an OC-12c/STM-4 installed in the right slot has the following port
numbers:

• 2/1: OC-3c/STM-1, left port

• 2/2: OC-3c/STM-1, right port

• 2/5: OC-12c/STM-4

A Passport 8683POS Module with thr ee OC-3c/ STM-1 MDAs in st all ed has ports
numbered consecutively 1 through 6, from left to right.

Device Manager

Passport Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface tool
designed to manage single devices. In order to use Device Manager, you must

configuration is set for bridging between two Passport 8683POS Modules with
one default VLAN. The Bridge Control Prot ocol (BCP) i s enabled on the Passpor t
8683POS Module by default.

Note: When the POS li nk is enabled after a parameter chan ge or a
chassis reset, some superfluous traffic may initially be sent out of POS
ports before any LCP packets go out. This is normal.

You can also configure bridging for th e Passport 8683POS Module for co nnection
to other POS-capable devices.

209564-A

Chapter 4 Managing the Passport 8683POS Module 63

Configuring routing

A POS port configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation must be the sole
member of the VLAN. You cannot add any other port to a VLAN which already
has a POS port with IPCP and/o r IPXCP enca psulat ion ena bled. You cannot add a
POS port which is configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation to a VLAN
which already has other ports as members.

Note: When the Passport 8600 switch is interoperating with a Juniper
router, the POS port must have the Juniper IP address configured in the
remote IP field. This is necessary because the Juniper routers do not
provide their local IP add ress duri ng PPP negoti ation. The Passport 8600
switch requires the Juniper addr es s for IPCP ope rati ons. See “c onfig po s

ip” on page 94 for information on configuring the remote IP address.
