Introduction

This document provides CPOS-E1 channel configuration examples.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of CPOS interface, E1, and MP.

Example: Configuring CPOS-E1 channels

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, branch nodes Router B through Router H are uplinked to the central node Router A through E1 links. Router A aggregates these E1 links by using a CPOS interface.

Add one additional E1 link on Router B to expand its capacity, and use an MP-group interface to bind the two E1 links.

Restrictions and guidelines

For correct network synchronization, make sure the master clock mode is configured on the SONET/SDH devices connected to the routers.

Procedures

Configuring Router A

# Configure E1 channels 1 and 2 of CPOS 3/0/4 to operate in unframed mode.

<RouterA> system-view

[RouterA] controller cpos 3/0/4

[RouterA-Cpos3/0/4] e1 1 unframed

[RouterA-Cpos3/0/4] e1 2 unframed

# Create MP-group 3/0/1 and assign an IP address to it.

[RouterA] interface mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterA-Mp-group3/0/1] ip address 10.1.1.1 24

[RouterA-Mp-group3/0/1] quit

# Assign Serial 3/0/4/1:0 to MP-group interface 3/0/1.

[RouterA] interface serial3/0/4/1:0

[RouterA-Serial3/0/4/1:0] ppp mp mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterA-Serial3/0/4/1:0] quit

# Assign Serial 3/0/4/2:0 to MP-group interface 3/0/1.

[RouterA] interface serial3/0/4/2:0

[RouterA-Serial3/0/4/2:0] ppp mp mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterA-Serial3/0/4/2:0] quit

Configuring Router B

# Configure E1 3/0/10 to operate in E1 mode.

<RouterB> system-view

[RouterB] controller e1 3/0/10

[RouterB-E1 3/0/10] using e1

[RouterB-E1 3/0/10] quit

# Configure E1 3/0/8 to operate in E1 mode.

[RouterB] controller e1 3/0/8

[RouterB-E1 3/0/8] using e1

[RouterB-E1 3/0/8] quit

# Create MP-group 3/0/1 and assign an IP address to it.

[RouterB] interface mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterB-Mp-group3/0/1] ip address 10.1.1.2 24

[RouterB-Mp-group3/0/1] quit

# Assign Serial 3/0/10:0 to MP-group interface 3/0/1.

[RouterB] interface serial3/0/10:0

[RouterB-Serial3/0/10:0] ppp mp mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterB-Serial3/0/10:0] quit

# Assign Serial 3/0/8:0 to MP-group interface 3/0/1.

[RouterB] interface serial3/0/8:0

[RouterB-Serial3/0/8:0] ppp mp mp-group 3/0/1

[RouterB-Serial3/0/8:0] quit
