Step 3
clock source {internal | line}
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)#
clock source internal
Configures the SONET port transmit clock source, where the
internal keyword sets the internal clock and the line keyword sets
the clock recovered from the line.
• Use the line keyword whenever clocking is derived from the
network. Use the internal keyword when two routers are
connected back to back or over fiber for which no clocking is
available.
• line is the default keyword.
Note Internal clocking is required for SRP interfaces.
Step 4
framing sdh
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)#
framing sdh
Configures the controller framing for Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) framing.
SONET framing (sonet) is the default.
Step 5
au number
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# au 1
Specifies the administrative unit (AU) group and enters AU path
configuration mode. For AU-3, the valid range is:
• 1 to 3—1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA
• 1 to 12—2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA
Note The au command does not specify the AU type. It specifies
the number of the AU group for the AU type that you want
to configure. The range for the AU command varies based
on whether you are configuring AU-3 or AU-4.
Step 6
mode mode
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)#
mode c11-t1
Sets the mode of interface at the AU level. AU-3 paths can be
mapped to c11-t1 or c12-e1 on supported SPAs.
Step 7
root
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)#
root
Exits to global configuration mode.
Step 8
controller t1 interface-path-id
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller
T1 0/1/1/0/0/0/0
Enters T1 controller configuration submode and specifies the T1
controller name and interface-path-id with the
rack/slot/module/port/auNum/t1Num notation.
Step 9
channel-group number
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t1)#
channel-group 0
Sets the channel-group number to which time slots are assigned.
The range is from 1 to 28.
