Configuring Patch Connections
Configuring Patch Connections
To configure patch connections between OADM modules within the same shelf, use the following global
configuration commands:
Note If you correctly patch your OADM modules, patch command configuration is not necessary for the
signal to pass from the client to the trunk fiber. However, without correct patch command
configuration, CDP is unable to locate the wdm interfaces that connect to the trunk fiber and discover
the topology neighbors. For more information on network monitoring, see the “Configuring CDP”
section on page 9-3.
Example
The following example shows how to configure the patch connections:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# patch thru 0/0 thru 0/1
Switch(config)# patch wave 0 oscfilter 0/0
Switch(config)# patch wave 1 oscfilter 0/1
Switch(config)# patch wavepatch 4/0/0 filter 0/0/1
Switch(config)# patch wavepatch 4/0/1 filter 0/1/1

trunk card and a OADM module.
patch wave slot/subcard oscfilter slot/subcard
