Procedure 8-3
Adding an 6200 network element to a STM-16/OC-48
ring configuration with 15G MRO XC circuit pack
Use this procedure to add an 6200 network element in a ring network.
Consider an STM-16/OC-48 ring with A, B, C, and D as 6200 network
elements. See Figure 8-1 on page 8-9. Network element E is to be added in
to the ring as shown in Figure 8-2 on page 8-10.
Note: Traffic will be lost temporarily for all unprotected traffic between B
and D while the network element E is being added to the ring.
Prerequisites
• Log into the WUI of the immediate neighboring network elements of the
network.
• Ensure that you note the following criteria in the neighboring network
elements
— Ethernet IP, router ID and subnet mask configured
— DCC bytes used
— WAN associations created
— cross-connects created
— synchronization scheme used
Action
Step Action
1 Query the following data of both the network element (B, D) and record the
values.
a. Ethernet IP, router ID and subnet mask
b. DCC bytes used
c. cross-connects created
d. synchronization scheme used
e. WAN associations created
Refer to Provisioning and Protection Switching Procedures, 009-6200-310.
2 Configure the network element E with the Ethernet IP, router ID, subnet mask,
static route, timing and the DCN parameters.
