MPW-1 MP-4100 Ver. 2.0 Configuring Pseudowire Services 3-21
The following sections provide guidelines for performing the required
configuration activities, assuming that you are familiar with the Megaplex-4100
and its range of Ethernet services. If necessary, refer to the Megaplex-4100
Installation and Operation Manual for additional details.
The tasks needed to configure a pseudowire and its associated parameters are
started from the Configuration > Applications > Multi-Service over PSN menu.
Preliminary Configuration Steps
³ To add a new pseudowire on a MPW-1 module:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Applications > Multi-Service over PSN, and then
select PW.
2. To configure a new pseudowire, select Add. The new pseudowire number is
automatically assigned the next free index number, in the range of 1 to 640.
3. Assign a logistic name to the pseudowire (up to 32 alphanumeric characters).
³ To modify or delete an existing pseudowire:
1. To select an existing pseudowire, enter its index number in the PW Number
field.
The pseudowire I/O slot and its logistic name is automatically displayed.
2. You can now modify the pseudowire parameters. Note that the pseudowire
type and the I/O slot on which it is processed cannot be changed even if the
pseudowire is not in use: these parameters can be configured only when the
pseudowire is first created (added). Therefore, to change these pseudowire
parameters, first delete the pseudowire, and then create a new one with the
desired parameters.
3. To delete an unnecessary pseudowire, select Delete (you will be requested to
confirm).
Configuring General Pseudowire Parameters
The general pseudowire parameters determine the pseudowire encapsulation
mode, and its PSN header structure. Other general pseudowire parameters are
the pseudowire destination, OAM support, and some parameters used to
fine-tune the payload handling.
³ To configure the general pseudowire parameters:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Applications > Multi-Service over PSN > PW
screen of the desired pseudowire.
2. Select General Parameters.
You will see the General Parameters screen of the desired pseudowire.
The pseudowire index, its I/O slot and the assigned logistic name are
automatically displayed at the top of the screen.
3. Obtain the prescribed parameters, and then use
Table 3-8 for parameter
descriptions and configuration guidelines.
