Hotwire DSL System Description

What is the Hotwire DSL System?

The Hotwire® Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system is a set of central site products that terminate and consolidate packet data traffic from many customers in a serving area. The DSL card(s) then forwards the traffic to one or more network access provider networks.

High-speed Internet and intranet access is either bridged or routed on the DSL line cards and multiplexed over backbone networks. By enabling very high speeds using DSL technology and concentrating Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, greater performance is realized.

In addition, the Hotwire GranDSLAM, with an endpoint such as a 6310 Multiple Virtual Lines (MVL co-exist with plain old telephone service (POTS) over the same copper telephone line, providing simultaneous usage of POTS and digital applications. That is, the optional central office (CO) POTS splitter and customer premises POTS filter allow simultaneous voice and data connections over a standard telephone line.

DSL cards can reside in four types of chassis:



8600/8610 DSLAM

A 3-slot chassis with Ethernet uplink. The stackable design provides for up to six chassis to share management access through a single MCC card, which in turn allows an additional slot for a DSL card in each of up to five additional chassis. The 8610 DSLAM chassis offers the same benefits as the 8600 chassis, with the added capability of accepting high-density DSL cards (5–25 ports) such as the 8312 ReachDSL/MVL card. Management access is through the Management Communications Processor (MCP) card. For more information, see either the

Levels of Access

2. Hotwire Menus and Screens

There are two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system. Your user accounts can be configured with a user name, password, and privilege of:



Administrator

system. With Administrator permission, you can set specific parameters and variables to configure cards, ports, interfaces, VNID bridging, and endpoint selection.



Operator

information and monitor performance but has no configuration menu access or modification permission.

The default access is no login and password with Administrator status. To provide login security to the DSL system, user accounts must be configured.

. The Administrator has complete read/write access to the DSL

. The Operator has read-only access and can view configuration

NOTE:

There must be at least one Administrator configured in order to have system security.

For information on configuring user accounts, see the

Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User’s Guide.

User Login Screen

You can log in to the Hotwire DSL system using either a local VT100-compatible terminal or a remote Telnet connection. However, the Hotwire DSL system accepts only one login session at a time.

At the User Login screen, enter your login ID and password. You must wait until your login is verified, anywhere from two seconds to 12 minutes. If you have RADIUS Authentication, this verification takes some time while each RADIUS server is contacted one at a time.

If you are denied access during a T elnet session, the session stops and an error is logged. If you are using a console, return to the User Login screen.

Hotwire Management

NOTE:

The User Login screen only appears if one or more users have been defined on the MCC.

NOTE:

If you forget your password, contact your Technical Service Center. Have the serial number of the MCC card available, and the service representative will provide you with a password.

8000-A2-GB26-50 April 2001

Conservative, User’s Guide.

Naming Conventions

Special naming conventions exist for the Port Name and Interface Name fields.



Port Name

dsl for a DSL card, eth for Ethernet, or sar for SAR), and a port number. The port number can range from 1–4 for 4-port cards such as the 8510 RADSL card, 1–12 for 12-port cards such as the 8312 ReachDSL/MVL card, or 1–24 for 24-port cards such as the 8343 SDSL card. See the following example:

Interface Name

and a port number (same as the port name), followed by a number identifying the drop on which the connection is located (for those networks consisting of multiple drops on a line). Currently, the drop number is limited to 1 on all screens, except for Block Erro r Rate Test ( card. See the following example:

Configuring Subnet Addressing

To define a subnet entry, the IP address has to be entered as the lower boundary address of the subnet. Otherwise, only a host entry can be configured. For example, a subnet with a mask of 255.255.255.192 requires one of the following IP addresses, where



xxx.xxx.xxx



xxx.xxx.xxx



xxx.xxx.xxx



xxx.xxx.xxx

Configuring Subnet Masks

After the IP address is entered, a default subnet mask is displayed. The default subnet mask is based on the IP address entered and can be changed.

If the IP Address entered is . . . Then the Default Subnet Mask is . . .

.0 .64 .128 .192

xxx

= any IP address:

xxx.xxx.xxx. xxx.xxx. xxx.

0.0.0 255.0.0.0

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

0 255.255.255.0

0.0 255.255.0.0

255.255.255.255

To configure the DSL card, a valid subnet must be used. When a Host entry is input, any valid IP address results in a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

When a Subnet entry is entered, the valid subnet mask is based on the IP address entered. A valid subnet mask must be in one of the following formats:

Domain Types

Service Domain

Management Domain

3. DSL Card Configuration

To monitor and control the overall system, the Hotwire Access Network should be partitione d into two distinc t domai ns :



Service domain(s) (Layer 2, MAC Bridging)



Management domain (Layer 3, IP Routing)

A service (or data) domain is comprised of all clients and servers (grouped physically or virtually) that communicate across a common WAN or LAN connection for Internet or intranet access. This is the Layer 2 bridging domain of the NSP. The Access Node cards and the Service Nodes are the Hotwire components of this domain. The service domain also encompasses an NSP and all end-user systems that subscribe to that NSP.

The primary function of the management domain is monitoring and configuring the DSL cards and service domains served by the DSLAM. The management domain should reside in a mutually exclusive domain from that of the service (data) domain(s). The MCC card functions as a service router and is the primary tool for configuring and diagno si ng the man agem ent domai n.

It is recommended that the management domain reside in a separate domain from the service domain(s) for security purposes and to improve download performance.

Minimum Configuration

The minimum configuration of the DSL port card differs, depending on the type of SN used.

Minimum Configuration When Using the 5620, 6310, or 6350 SN

When using either the 5620, 6310, or 6350 SN, the DSL port card is in control of the connection. At a minimum, you must configure the following:



VNIDs on a DSL card (see



(Default = LT). NT is used f or tim ing whi le LT is used for data. One a nd onl y one IDSL port in each chassis must be dedicated as NT and connected to the appropriate ISDN timing source in the CO. This timing is then distributed to all other IDSL ports in the chassis. Only the first four ports on the card can be set to NT.

For timing: An IDSL circuit must be synchronized with the Digital Carrier System (the Digital Loop Carrier or DLC). The port you selec t for NT mode will be used to terminate a connection to an LT dedicated for system clock use. This NT port will probably not be used for data, but will derive the 2.048 Mhz system clock from the connection and distribute this timing to the othe r 23 ID SL ports on this card, and to oth er ID SL port cards via the backplane clock circuit. Once you have set one of the ports on the IDSL card for NT mode, use the IDSL Clock Configuration screen ( configure one of the clock circuits on the backplane to receive its timing from the IDSL port you just configured. To do this, set the Clock Configuration for NET_CLOCK1/NET_CLOCK2 field to 3 for Drive System Clock).

NOTE: If the NT port loses the connection and the timing source fails, all IDSL loops on the chassis may lose data (denoted by Major Alarm and SNMP trap). For redundancy, you may wish to dedicate an additional port on another IDSL card in the chassis as a spare timing source and leave the port it in LT mode. In case of failure, this second ary timing port can be enabled remotely by changing the status of the primary timing port to LT and the secondary port to NT. Be aware that the NET_CLOCK1 and NET_CLOCK2 options must be configured correctly on the MCC card. See the

3. DSL Card Configuration

Configuring VNID(s) on a DSL Card

A VNID is a Virtual Network Identifier known as the 802.1Q tag between port cards with an Ethernet network interface and the Interworking Packet Concentrator (IPC). This directs traffic between the ISP and the end user. Tagging occurs between the DSL card and the IPC to ensure that data is sent to the correct location. This helps to ensure that data is not broadcast to all ports when Mux forwarding is enabled. To enable VNID tagging for port cards with an Ethernet network interface, you must first ensure that matching groups are configured on the IPC.



VNID configuration is required on DSL port cards when the port card is operating in the VNET-Bridged mode. However , when a DSL port card with an ATM Network interface is operating in Standard mode, no VNID configuration is required.



802.1Q VLANs must be configured on the IPC when a DSL port card with an Ethernet Network interface is used. However, 802.1Q VLANs are not required when a DSL port card with an ATM Network interface is used in conjunction with an SCM card in the Hotwire 8820 GranDSLAM.

Before configuring VNIDs, you must enable VNID tagging ( card.

This section presents an example of an exception when IP Scoping must be disabled when using a DSL Router. IP Scoping on the port card must be disabled if the DHCP relay capability on the DSL Router is enabled, and the IP addressing scheme allows the core device at the access provider’s location to ARP directly for the client behind the DSL Router. In the figure below, the Cisco Router ARPs directly for the client PC. Therefore, IP Scoping must be disabled on the port card for proper data communication.

IP Filter (Filter Rule Configuration screen) (A-G-A)

Allows you to bu ild mul tiple rules f or an IP fi lter. A filter consists of a s et of rules ap plied to a specific interface to indicate whether a packet received or sent out of that interface is forwarded or discarded. You can add, edit, or delete filter rules within a named set.

A filter works by successively applying the rules to the information obtained from the packet header until a match is found. The filter then performs the action specified by the rule on that packet, which forwards or discards the packet. If all the rules are searched and no match is found, the configured default filter action is executed.

Host rules have higher precedence than network rules. Rules apply to the source/destination IP address, source/destination port number, and traffic types, such as TCP/UDP/ICMP. TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic is forwarded to discarded based on the conditions specified in the rule, including source and/or destination address and source and/or destination port number. You can have up to 33 rules per filter. Each rule reduces the packet throughput of the DSL card.

There can be 24 filters per DSL card with a maximum of two filters per DSL port, one inbound filter and one outbound filter. The same filter can be applied as an inbound filter and an outbound filter. Filters are configured on the port card and the processing takes place on the endpoint.

Selftest D-A

Displays the results of the last disruptive selftest of the DSL card. This selftest is only performed on pow er up of t he system or a reset of the c ard. Each su bsystem (processors , memory, and interfaces) reports pass or fail. If all subsystems pass, the card has passed selftest. If a subsystem fails, reset or replace the card.

You can determine when the selftest occurred by reading the elapsed time since the last reset on the card.

Alarms (Card Alarms) D-B

Minor alarms include Config Error (configuration has been corrupted), Threshold Exceeded for DSL Margin or Link Down events, and Wrong SN Ports. Refer to

Table 5-3, Minor Alarms.

DSL Packet Echo Test D-C

Allows you to co ndu ct a no nd isrupti ve packet test betw een the D SL ca rd and Ho twire SN endpoint. Test packets are sent to the SN at 10 percent of the line rate and echoed back to this card, where they are counted and checked for errors. The running time of the test can be specified and the test will continue until the specified time has elapsed or the test is stopped. Only one port can be tested at a time.

Results include packets sent, valid packets received, errored packets received, errored seconds, and elapsed time of the test.

NOTE: Er rored pa c kets and e rrored s econd s may result if one SN has hea vy E thernet traffic, or two or more SNs have moderate to heavy Ethernet traffic (such as in a multidrop environment).

SN Selftest D-D

Allows you to perform a power-on Service Node selftest. A port number can be selected to perform the test.
