3-20 Configuring Pseudowire Services MPW-1 MP-4100 Ver. 2.0
Parameter Function Values
Peer IP Address Specifies the IP address of the
peer
Enter the desired IP address in the dotted-quad
format.
Default: 0.0.0.0
Peer Next Hop
Address
Specifies the IP address of the
next port to which packets
directed to the selected peer will
be sent.
You need to specify a next hop IP
address only when the peer IP
address is not within the IP
subnet of the router interface
that will be used to send packets
to this peer.
The default value, 0.0.0.0, means
that no next hop IP address is
defined
Enter the desired IP address in the dotted-quad
format.
Default: 0.0.0.0
Pseudowire Parameters Configuration Sequence
The total number of pseudowires that can be defined on a MPW-1 module is as
follows:
For internal DS1 ports using the DS0 cross-connect mode: up to 16
pseudowires per internal DS1 port, for a maximum of 128 pseudowire for
each MPW-1 module
For internal DS1 ports using the DS1 cross-connect mode: a single
pseudowire, using the whole bandwidth of internal DS1 port.
The pseudowire bandwidth depends on the type of port connected to the
internal DS1 port:
For E1 ports: 32 timeslots when using the Unframed mode, or 31 timeslots
when using a Framed mode
For T1 ports: 24 timeslots (possible only in the Framed mode)
The total number of pseudowires that can be defined on the whole
Megaplex-4100 is 640.
The pseudowire configuration sequence includes the following main steps:
1. Preliminary actions: add a new pseudowire and define its logistic data, or
select an existing pseudowire to modify its parameters or delete it.
2. Configure the general pseudowire parameters.
3. Configure the PSN parameters.
4. Configure the pseudowire service parameters
5. Configure the pseudowire attachment circuit parameters.
