If want to channelize the STS path into smaller paths, proceed to Step 5. If you want to channelize the
STS path into clear channel DS3 paths, skip the rest of the steps in this section and follow the procedure
in the “Bringing Up and Configuring SDH Paths” section on page 2-25.
Step 5 Enter the cnfpath -sts <path_id> -width 1 command to set the path width. Although this command has
many options, you must channelize the line before you bring up and configure individual paths. The
command form that channelizes the line is as follows:
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > cnfpath -sts 1.1.1 -width 12
Change in path width may cause traffic loss.
Do you want to proceed (Yes/No) ? y
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a >
Replace the path_id variable with the complete path number in the format bay.line.sts, as shown in
Table 2-9. The correct path number for unchannelized SDH line 1 on an MPSM-T3E3-155 card is 1.1.0.
The AXSM XG card supports two path widths, depending on the size of the AXSM XG initial path
width:
• 1:STS1_STM0
• 3:STS3c_STM1
• 12:STS12c_STM4
• 48:STS48c_STM16
• 192:sts192c_stm64
Step 6 Enter the dsppaths -sts command to verify that the line has been channelized into three separate SDH
paths, as shown in the following example.
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > dsppaths -sts

Note The software supports only the path widths described in Table 2-9. When you create a path by dividing
a larger path or combining smaller paths, the software may automatically create additional paths to
assure that all the available bandwidth is assigned to one of the available path sizes.
