configure sonet trace path ports
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 1671
configure sonet trace path ports
configure sonet trace path <id_string> ports
<portlist>
Description
Configures the path trace identifier string for the specified SONET ports.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is null.
Usage Guidelines
Path trace is a maintenance feature of SONET. One byte of the path overhead associated with each
SONET frame is used to carry information identifying the originating path terminating equipment
(PTE). The
id_string
parameter is a string that may contain up to 64 characters (which always includes
a carriage return and a line feed character at the end). By default,
id_string
contains an IP address
assigned to the VLAN that the port is a member of. This IP address is represented in dotted-decimal
notation. If no IP address is assigned to the port's VLAN,
id_string
defaults to a string of 64 NULL
characters. When SONET framing is configured, a 64-character string is repetitively transmitted, one
character per frame. If the configured string is less than 64 characters, it is padded with NULL
characters. Operation is similar when SDH framing is configured, except that the maximum string
length is 15 characters. If necessary, the configured
id_string
is truncated to 15 characters.
Example
The following command example sets the path trace identifier to the string
parador
for port 1 of the
PoS module installed in slot 8 of the BlackDiamond switch:
config sonet trace path parador ports 8:1
