Chapter 9 Ethernet Operation
Ethernet Circuit Configurations
.
9.3 Ethernet Circuit Configurations
Ethernet circuits can link ONS nodes through point-to-point, shared packet ring, or hub and spoke
configurations. Two nodes usually connect with a point-to-point configuration. More than two nodes
usually connect with a shared packet ring configuration or a hub and spoke configuration. This section
includes procedures for creating these configurations and also explains how to create Ethernet manual
cross-connects. Ethernet manual cross-connects allow you to cross connect individual Ethernet circuits
to an STS channel on the ONS 15454 optical interface and also to bridge non-ONS SONET network
segments.
Note Before making Ethernet connections, choose a circuit size from STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c.
Note When making an STS-12c Ethernet circuit, Ethernet cards must be configured as single-card
EtherSwitch. Multi-card mode does not support STS-12c Ethernet circuits.
9.3.1 Point-to-Point Ethernet Circuits
The ONS 15454 can set up a point-to-point (straight) Ethernet circuit as Single-card or Multicard.
Multicard EtherSwitch limits bandwidth to STS-6c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points,
but allows adding nodes and cards and making a shared packet ring. Single-card EtherSwitch allows a
full STS-12c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points.
