55 Provision cross connections in a mixed
fiber/microwave Ring
55.1 Purpose
This chapter provides the procedure to provision cross connections in an Ethernet
Ring that contains both fiber and microwave ports.
55.2 General
Ring cross-connections in a mixed fiber/microwave Ring require MAC address
parameters which depend on the following factors:
• position of the TDM traffic end point nodes in the Ring: member or non-member
of the Ring’s fiber chain
• protection status of the end point NE if it is outside the Ring
The term fiber chain refers to the portion of the Ring where all the Ring nodes are
connected using optical fiber.
This chapter provides a series of examples of Ring cross-connections in a mixed
fiber/microwave Ring. All examples are based on the sample Ring shown in
Figure 397.
For information on how to create cross-connections, see Provision cross
connections.
