Step 7 To display the status of a path you have brought up, enter the dsppath command as follows:
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > dsppath 1.1.1
Path Number : 1.1.1 Path Type : sts
Payload : atm Width : 12
Admin Status : Up Alarm Status : Critical
Path Operational State : Down
Number of ports : 0 Number of partitions: 0
Number of SPVC : 0 Number of SPVP : 0
Number of SVC : 0
Xmt.Trace :
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a >
When the path is up, the Admin Status row displays Up. The Payload row displays the payload type
(atm).
Step 8 Bring up and configure the paths you created in Step 5. Refer to the “Channelizing a Line” section on
page 2-18 for instructions on bringing up and configuring DS3 paths.
Channelizing an SDH Line
When an SDH line is in clear channel mode, it carries a single STS path. You can channelize the STS
path into multiple separate STS paths.
Note STM/AU paths on SDH lines are equivalent to STS paths on SONET lines. The Release 5 CLI shows
SONET naming conventions in the place of their equivalent SDH terms. Note that in the channelization
CLI, the STM/AU paths are called “STS” paths.
To channelize an SDH line into four separate DS3 paths, perform the following procedure.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1_GP privileges or higher.
Step 2 Enter the cc command to change to the AXSM-XG card you want to configure.
Step 3 If you have not done so already, bring up the line to be configured as described in the “Bringing Up
Lines” section, which appears earlier in this chapter. Once a line is brought up, a single STS path is
created and put in a down state.
Step 4 Enter the dsppaths -all command to ensure that an STS path has been created, and to obtain the path_id
for the path.
