Port
Configuration
Device A drop-down of all the devices that have CES8 cards
configured as DS1 ports (or, if the port is an E1, all the devices
that have CES8 cards configured as E1 ports).
Ports A drop-down of the ports (card.slot) in the selected device
that are DS1 or E1, depending on the port type being
configured.
Port Profile The available profiles for the port type (DS1 or E1) appear in
the drop-down list. When the port is provisioned, it will inherit
the attributes of that profile.
Timing Reference Where the port will get its clocking reference from. The
choices are:
- SELF - Itself
- CONNECTION -
The interface to which it is connected.
Note that when this is chosen, the PSPAN automatically
has its RTP set to ON, since a PSPAN must be
using RTP
protocol to be used as a timing reference.
- CARD - The “card-level” timing reference (See 5.5.13)
PSPAN
Configuration
IP Interface The IP interface that has been configured on the card.
RTP: Whether RTP timing will be On or OFF. Refer tot he Timing
Reference field above.
UDP port The UDP port of the near end interface, the local receive ID.
Must be unique within an IP address on a card.
Peer IP Address The peer IP address of the IP interface the PSPAN is built on.
Note: If the Peer Port is configured, this field is greyed out.
Peer UDP Port Must match the peer’s UDPPORT attribute
Note: If the Peer Port is configured, this value is
automatically given to the peer port.
Peer Port
Configuration
(optional)
Device The device that contains the peer DS1/E1 port.
Port A drop-down of the ports (card.slot) in the selected device
that are DS1 or E1, depending on the port type being
configured
Note: A peer port can be on a different device or the
same device as the port, but cannot be on the same
card.
Port Profile The available profiles for the port type (DS1 or E1) appear in
the drop-down list. When the port is provisioned, it will inherit
the attributes of that profile.
Timing Reference Where the port will get its clocking reference from. The
choices are the same as for the port.
