2.1 IP Address Configuration

2.1.1 IP Address Overview
IP Address Introduction
Internet Protocol (IP) address is an unique 32 bit identifies, which is allocated to the host
or router indirectly connecting to Internet. IP address is graduated. An IP address is
composed of network ID (the first grade) and host ID (the second grade) that is convenient
for people to manage IP addresses. IP address is used to help people do addressing in
Internet.
IP addresses are divided into five classes: A, B and C, D and E, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Five Classes of IP Addresses

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

Among class A, B and C addresses, some addresses are reserved for private networks.
This is recommended that private network addresses must be used for establishing internal
networks. These addresses refer to:
l
l
l

Private addresses in class A: 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255

Private addresses in class B: 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
Private addresses in class C: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255

IP Subnet Classification
Address division is originally intended to facilitate design of routing protocols, so that
header feature bit of an IP address is enough for judging type of a network. However,
classification method restricts utilization of address space to greatest extent. With rapid
expansion of Internet, problem of insufficient addresses becomes more and more serious.
To utilize IP addresses to greater extent, a network can be divided into multiple subnets.
The "bit borrowing" mode can be used: highest bits of host bits are borrowed to serve
as subnet bits and left host bits still serve as host bits. Thus structure of an IP address
consists of three parts: Network bits, subnet bits and host bits.
Network bits and subnet bits are used to uniquely identify a network. Use subnet mask to
find which part in IP address indicates network bits and subnet bits, which part stands for
host bits. The part with subnet mask of "1" corresponds to network bits and subnet bits of
IP address, while the part with subnet mask of "0" corresponds to host bits.
Division of subnets greatly improves utilization of IP addresses, which relieves the problem
of insufficient IP addresses to some extent.
Regulations on IP addresses are shown below.
l

l
l
l
l

(0.0.0.0) is used when a host without an IP address is started. Reverse Address

Resolution Protocol (RARP), BOOTstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are used to obtain IP address. The address serves
as default route in routing table.
255.255.255.255 is a destination address used for broadcast and cannot serve as a
source address.
127. X.X.X is called loopback address. Even if actual IP address of host is unknown,
address still can be used to stand for the "local host".
Only IP addresses with host bits being all "0" indicate network itself. An IP address
with host bits being all "1" serves as broadcast address of the network.
For a legal host IP address, the network part or the host part must not be all "0" or all
"1".

2.1.2 Configuring an IP Address

This procedure describes the steps and commands for configuring the IP address of an
interface.

2.2 IP MTU Configuration

2.2.1 IP MTU Overview
Both Ethernet and 802.3 have a restriction in the data frame length, which the maximum
values are 1500 bytes and 1476 bytes respectively. This feature is called IP Maximum
Transmission Unit (MTU). Most of networks have their own restriction.
When a data packet is transmitted in IP layer but its length is more than MTU, IP layer
will do fragmentation. That is to say, the data packet is divided into many fragments, and
every fragment is smaller than IP MTU.
IP MTU values are different in the different networks. In order to avoid fragmentation and
improve network performance, use ip mtu command to modify the size of IP MTU.
l

An important problem is that the larger the IP MTU value is set, the more packets are
saved in cache. Thus, the client sends packets with lower rate that causes the time
delay for sending packets is bigger. When a large packet is transmitted from a PC to
another PC, it will pass through many network connections which have smaller IP MTU

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

values. In this way, the large packet will be disassembled, sent and reassembled. The
packet transmission time is increased a lot.
However, IP MTU value cannot be set too small because each packet has a 40 bytes
header containing important control information. The header occupies lots of available
bandwidth if IP MTU value is smaller.
For example, a 56k modem can upload data at 4200bytes/second. If IP MTU value is
set to 90 bytes, and the header occupies 40 bytes (44% of the size of the whole data
packet). The utilization rate of bandwidth is very low.

Therefore, it is necessary to configure an appropriate IP MTU value.

2.3 Interface MTU Configuration

2.3.1 Interface MTU Overview
A Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the size (byte) of the maximum data packet
passing on a layer of a communication protocol.
Each interface of a router must has the L2 MTU attribute. This attribute affects the packets
sent from the interface during the packet forwarding process. During the packet forwarding
process, the router cannot directly send a packet whose length is more than the L2 MTU of
the interface. The router needs to fragment the packet to make the lengths of the packets
forwarded by the interface not exceed the interface MTU.
When forwarding a tagged packet, the device checks the length of this packet through
MPLS MTU that is similar to L2 MTU in the aspect of working mechanism.
By allowing a user to configure the MTUs related to the specified interface, the device
uses the MTUs on the interface based on the user's requirements. Thus the requirements
on checking the segments and their lengths when the device sends or forwards a local
packet are met. In case of default configuration, the device implements the same functions
according to the default values set by the system.

2.4 MAC Address Configuration

2.4.1 MAC Address Overview
A MAC address is the hardware identifier of a network device. Network devices forward
packets in accordance with MAC addresses. Each MAC address is unique, which ensures
the correct packet forwarding.
Each device maintains a MAC address table. When a device receives a data frame, it
determines whether to filter out the frame or forward the frame to the corresponding port
of the device based on the MAC address table. The MAC address table is the basics and
prerequisite for a device to implement fast forwarding.

3.1 Ethernet Interface Overview

The LAN interfaces supported by ZXR10 M6000-S are Ethernet interfaces, including Fast
Ethernet (FE) interface and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface.
l
l

Fast Ethernet interface is accord with 100Base-TX physical standard, it is compatible

with 10Base-T physical layer standard.
Gigabit Ethernet interface is accord with 1000Base-TX physical layer standard, it is
compatible with 10Base-T and 100Base-TX physical layer standards.

There are two working modes on Ethernet electrical interface, half-duplex and full-duplex
mode. Ethernet electrical interface has self-negotiation mode, it can negotiate working
mode and speed with other network devices. Ethernet electrical selects the appropriate
working mode and speed automatically, thus simplifying system configuration and
management.
In Open System Interconnection (OSI) seven layer model defined by International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), physical layer defines the physical interfaces
between two devices and their electrical, procedural and mechanical characteristics and
so on. The functions of Ethernet physical layer is similar to that defined by ISO. Ethernet
physical layer provides a standard. The network devices can communicate with each
other if manufactories produce them according to the same standard.
Ethernet physical layer has two working modes, full-duplex and half-duplex mode. The
different medium access modes are provided for them,
l
l

Use Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) access mode in

half-duplex mode.
The packets can be sent and received in full-duplex mode directly.

Full-duplex and half-duplex are physical layer concepts, and provide different access
modes for duplex modes in physical layer that is data link layer concept. In this way, an
important Ethernet feature is formed, data link layer and physical layer are related.

4.1 Basic VLAN Configuration

4.1.1 VLAN Overview
On Ethernet network, CSMA/CD technology is used. A Layer 2 network is a broadcast
domain. To reduce the cost of bandwidth resources, 802.1Q introduces Virtual Local
Area Network (VLAN) technology. VLAN technology divides a physical LAN into several
broadcast domains in logic. VLAN supports 8bit sub-interfaces.
To ensure that some specific users be designated into a logical group, it is necessary to
use VLAN.
VLAN complies with 802.1Q standard, that is, the Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks
protocol. VLAN realizes logical broadcast domain. The users of one VLAN are restricted to
access another VLAN. Meanwhile, broadcast packets are restricted in the logical broadcast
domain.
The structure of a packet with VLAN ID is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Structure of L2 Packet With VLAN ID

On the base of conventional Ethernet packet, a 4byte 802.1Q packet header is added.
l

The first two bytes are TAG Protocol Identifier (TPID). The TPID identifies the packet
type. By default, the packet is a 802.1Q packet, and the TPID is 0x8100, 88a8.
Common TPID values include 0x9100.
The last two bytes are Tag Control Information (TCI).

Priority (3 bits): The priority is decided by flow control information (such as QoS,
and so on).

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) (1 bit): CFI is used to identify whether there is
a canonical MAC address. When CFI is set, it means that the Data field of the
frame carries the Token Ring frame that is not translated or encapsulated.

The last 12 bits in TCI are VLAN ID (VID). The largest VID is 4094.

Detailed descriptions of TCI field in 802.1Q header are shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 802.1Q VLAN Packet Header Structure

Many sub-interfaces may be configured on a route attribute port. Each sub-interface can
encapsulate VLAN ID and VLAN Range. The packet is designated according to its VLAN
TAG. A packet without a VLAN TAG will be designated to a physical interface. After the
physical interface is designated, the packet is forwarded according to the forwarding table.

4.1.2 Configuring a VLAN Sub-Interface

4.2 VLAN Range Sub-Interface Configuration

4.2.1 VLAN Range Sub-Interface Overview
A VLAN complies with the 802.1Q protocol, that is, the Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks
protocol. A VLAN implements a logical broadcast domain. A user in one VLAN cannot
access another VLAN. The broadcast packets in one broadcast domain can be broadcast
only in this broadcast domain.
To realize VLAN termination, a router has to partition VLAN sub-interfaces on a physical
port. VLAN can be configured on each VLAN sub-interface to terminate VLAN-ID
contained in packets. As the number of sub-interface is limited, it is allowed to configure
several VLANs on a sub-interface. This is called VLAN Range. The VLAN Range
supports 8bit sub-interfaces.

4.3 VLAN TPID Configuration

4.3.1 VLAN TPID Overview
A VLAN complies with the 802.1Q protocol, that is, the Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks
protocol. A VLAN implements a logical broadcast domain. A user in one VLAN cannot
access another VLAN. The broadcast packets in one broadcast domain can be broadcast
only in this broadcast domain.
According to the structure of a VLAN packet, there are four fields in a VLAN tag, TPID,
priority, CFI and VLAN ID. TPID is used to identify whether a frame contains a VLAN tag.
The TPID field is 16 bits long.
Based on the traditional Ethernet packet, a 4-octet 802.1Q packet header is added. Where,
the first two octets are for Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) indicating the type of this packet.
The default type is 802.1Q packet, and the default value is 0x8100. Common values
include 0x9100.
Some vendors may not be in accordance with RFC, so the TPIDs of different vendors
may be different. To ensure compatibility, ZXR10 M6000-S provides the feature of TPID
configurable.

5.1 Basic QinQ Configuration

5.1.1 QinQ Sub-Interface Overview
QinQ is short for 802.1Q in 802.1 Q. With more and more deployment of Ethernet
technologies in network (Metro Ethernet Network (MEN)), 802.1Q VLAN is restricted a lot
in user isolation and identifying. As there are only 12 bits in the VLAN TAG field defined
by IEEE802.1Q, which identifies 4k VLANs. QinQ comes into birth to solve the problem
that there are lots of users needing to be identified in MEN.
QinQ is generated to increase the number of VLANs. It adds a 802.1Q label on the base
of the conventional 802.1Q packet. Now, there are 4k*4k VLANs available by using QinQ.
QinQ supports 8bit sub-interfaces.
The internal and external tags of QinQ represent different information. For example, the
internal tag represents users, and the external tag represents services. A QinQ packet
is transmitted through operator networks with two tags. The internal tag is transmitted
transparently. QinQ is a simple and utility Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology.
Therefore, it can act as the extension of core Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN
in MEN VPN to form an end-to-end VPN technology finally.

5.2 QinQ Range Sub-Interface Configuration

5.2.1 QinQ Range Sub-Interface Overview
To realize VLAN termination, it is necessary to partition VLAN sub-interfaces on physical
port of a router. QinQ can be configured on each VLAN sub-interface to terminate
VLAN-IDs contained in packets. As the number of sub-interfaces is limited, it is allowed
to configure several QinQs on a sub-interface. This is called QinQ Range. QinQ Range
sub-interfaces are configured if multiple QinQs are required on a sub-interface. ZXR10
M6000-S supports 64k QinQ Range sub-interfaces and 8bit sub-interfaces.
An internal VLAN-ID and an external VLAN-ID can be configured on each QinQ
sub-interface. However, multiple internal VLAN-IDs and external VLAN-IDs can be
configured on a sub-interface of QinQ Range.
QinQ internal tag and external tag represent different information. For example, the
internal tag represents users, and the external tag represents services. A QinQ packet is
transmitted with two tags. The internal tag is transmitted transparently. QinQ is a simple
and utility VPN technology. Therefore, it can act as the extension of core MPLS VPN in
MEN VPN to form an end-to-end VPN technology finally.

6.1 SuperVLAN Overview

SuperVLAN Introduction
SuperVLAN technology aggregates many SubVLANs together. These SubVLANs share
one IP sub-network and the same default gateway. In a SuperVLAN,
l
l
l
l

all SubVLANs can allocate IP addresses in the SuperVLAN flexibly and use the default
gateway of the SuperVLAN.
Each SubVLAN has its own independent broadcast domain, which ensures the
isolation between different users.
The communication between SubVLANs is routed by the SuperVLAN.
The SuperVLAN supports cross-board interface binding and QinQ interface binding.

SuperVLAN is a type of virtual interface formed by binding several interfaces, such as

VLAN sub-interface, QinQ sub-interface or Ethernet physical interface nn different boards.

SuperVLAN Feature
After VLAN is introduced, different VLANs cannot communicate with each other through
L2 forwarding. The communication is realized through L3 routing. Thus, it is necessary
to configure different IP address segments between VLANs. To save IP addresses,
SuperVLAN is used.
The principle of common VLAN is shown in Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 VLAN Configuration on Device without SuperVLAN

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

On the device, the ports connecting A, B,C and D belong to different VLANs. Therefore,
the different IP address segments are configured on A, B, C and D. The communications
are realized through L3 route forwarding.
As shown in Figure 6-2, after SuperVLAN is used, VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are bound to
SuperVLAN1, while VLAN 3 and VLAN 4 are bound to SuperVLAN2.
Figure 6-2 Configuration on Device with SuperVLAN

The network segment x.x.x.0/24 is configured on both A and B, and x.x.y.0/24 network
segment is configured on C and D. SuperVLAN 1 acts as the ARP proxy between A and B,
and SuperVLAN2 acts as the ARP proxy between C and D. Therefore, the communications
between A and B, and between C and D can be realized through L2 forwarding. However,
the communication between the hosts in different network segments (such as A and C)
still needs to be realized through L3 forwarding.
In addition, each VLAN member of SuperVLAN is allocated an IP address segment.
To ensure the security, the packets will be discarded if the IP addresses of the packets
received by the SuperVLAN do not match the allocated IP address segment.

7.1 SmartGroup Overview

SmartGroup Introduction
Link aggregation is also called port trunk or port aggregation. Link aggregation is to
aggregate several ports into an aggregation group to implement load balance of in/out
flows on each member port. This improves the reliability of the connections at the same
time. When a link is disconnected, the traffic will be reassigned among the remaining link
automatically. Link aggregation is implemented on the data link layer.
SmartGroup is to bind several different types of Ethernet interfaces into a logical
SmartGroup interface. On ZXR10 M6000-S, SmartGroup provides more flexible and
effective solutions about network architecture for users. It brings more flexibility in network
planning and network architecture designing with ZXR10 series products. It also improves
the network stability greatly, especially for Ethernet and network environments in which
Ethernet interfaces are used. SmartGroup function can extend bandwidth, which makes
the cost to construct network more reasonable.

SmartGroup supports aggregation of Ethernet interfaces across boards.

SmartGroup supports aggregation of different speeds (it is necessary to configure the
on mode).
There are two modes of load sharing, per-packet mode and per-destination mode.
64 SmartGroup interfaces can be configured at most.
In each SmartGroup interface, 8000 sub-interfaces can be configured at most .
There are 32 Ethernet interfaces at most in each SmartGroup interface.

SmartGroup Features
The link aggregation of SmartGroup is to aggregate several ports into an aggregation
group, thus to share out/in load among the member ports. This also improves the reliability
of the connections. Outwardly, the aggregation group seems as a port. Load sharing of link
aggregation supports load-sharing aggregation and non-load-sharing aggregation.Figure
7-1 shows a SmartGroup n.

Figure 7-1 SmartGroup Link Aggregation

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized method to exchange

information between mate systems on links. LACP allows link aggregation control entities
to make an agreement on the unity of the link aggregation cluster. It also allows to class a
link to a link aggregation cluster and enable the functions of receiving and sending in order.
The principle of LACP includes the following points:
l
l
l
l
l

LACP runs on a single physical port.

LACP is a procedure of constant negotiation at two ends. There are two negotiation
modes, active mode and passive mode.
If the negotiation is successful on a port, this port is an active port, otherwise it is a
inactive port. Only active ports can send and receive packets.
Negotiation packets are sent continually, and they are terminated on ports.
The negotiation of the ports in an aggregation group is independent between each
other without any interaction.

8.1 POS Interface Overview

Packet Over SONET (POS) is a high speed, advanced WAN connection technology.
It uses high speed transmission channel provided by Synchronous Optical
Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) to directly transmit IP packets.
The network is structured by high-end router and high-speed optical fiber.
POS uses SONET/SDH as physical layer protocol, encapsulates packets in High-level
Data Link Control (HDLC) frame and uses PPP as link control in link layer. IP packet
service runs on network layer. At present, POS 155Mbps, 622Mbps and 2.5Gbps, 10Gbps
interfaces are available.
POS realizes the mapping from IP packets to SONET payload by using PPP. POS is an
extensible protocol. Due to the supporting by SONET, POS overcomes the disadvantages
of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). By means of HDLC and PPP, POS provides
a mechanism that transmit packets in SONET Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE)
directly.

MTU and MTU on the interface.

6

ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#encapsulation

Configures the encapsulation

{ppp | hdlc | frame-relay | {rx|tx}}

mode of an interface. The default

encapsulation mode is PPP.

2. Configure a POS interface clock.

To get better communication quality, it is necessary to select a clock mode for the
POS interface. Two clock modes can be selected for the POS interfaces at two ends
of communication: line-derived clock and internal clock.
Notice the following cases when configuring clock modes of POS interfaces.
l

When two POS interface interconnects or they are connected by Wavelength

Division Multiplexing (WDM), one end uses internal clock, and the other end uses
line-derived clock.
When the POS interface connects to a switch device, the internal clock is used if
the switch device is Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE). The POS interface
of ZXR10 M6000-S is Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), the clock is line-derived
clock.
By default, the clock of POS interface is internal clock.

The POS interface clock modes are listed in Table 8-1.

Sets the mode of the sending

send{internal| line}

clock for the interface.

Internal: internal clock.
Default: internal.
Line: line-derived clock.

3. Configure a POS interface delay down/up.

When the status of physical layer is down/up, it is judged immediately that the
interface is down/up and the down/up state is reported. In this way, the updating and
convergence of the router are influenced.
To judge whether a flash exists during a set delay time, add the delay down command.
A timer is started for verifying the network state after the preset delay time.
l
l

If the network state is normal, the interface down is not triggered.

If the interface is still inactive, then the interface down is triggered.

To judge whether a flash exists during a set delay time, add the delay up command.
A timer is started for verifying the network state after the preset delay time.
l
l

If the network state is down, the interface up is not triggered.

If the interface is still up, then the interface up is triggered.

9.1 CPOS Overview

CPOS Introduction
The Channelized POS (CPOS) interface can precisely divide the bandwidth by fully utilizing
the SDH features, which:
l
l
l

Reduces the number of low-speed physical interfaces for routers.

Enhances the convergence capability of low-speed interfaces for routers.
Enhances the private-line access capability of routers.

From the physical perspective, the CPOS interface is called controller. It can be logically
channelized into multiple E1/T1 channels for transmission purposes.
The CPOS interface supports SDH transmission and SONET transmission.
l

SDH transmission
In SDH transmission mode, only the CPOS clock, E1 clock, and the E1 frame format
should be set. In addition, the multiplexing path should be selected based on the
country.

SONET transmission
In SONET transmission mode, only the CPOS clock, E1 clock, and the E1 frame
format should be set. In addition, the frame format for the CPOS interface should be
set to SONET, and the multiplexing path should be selected based on the country.

E1/T1-to-STM-1 Multiplexing
In a G.709-recommended SDH multiplexing procedure, there may be more than one path
for multiplexing a low-speed frame carrying the payload to an STM-N link. Figure 9-1 and
Figure 9-2 illustrate the processes of multiplexing an E1/T1 frame to an STM-1 frame.

Figure 9-1 Process of Multiplexing E1 Channels to Form STM-1

Figure 9-2 Process of Multiplexing T1 Channels to Form STM-1

The multiplexing paths may vary with countries and areas. Either the AU-3 or AU-4
multiplexing path can be specified for a CPOS interface through the multiplex mode
command, which ensures the interconnection between two ends.

CPOS Interface Application Scenario

Some users may access the transport network by using middle-end or low-end devices
through E1/T1 leased lines, and the required bandwidth is between the E1 and T3 lines.
For example, several E1/T1 leased lines may be allocated for a data center.
The bandwidth of users is aggregated to one or more CPOS interfaces through a transport
network, and these interfaces are connected to a high-end device. The high-end device
identifies low-end devices uniquely through time slots.
More than one level of transport networks may be involved between the CPOS interface
and low-end devices, and each low-end device may communicate with the transport
network through other measures. This is logically similar to the scenario where low-end
devices are connected to router A through one or multiple E1/T1 lines, see Figure 9-3.

For example, C2=00H indicates that the VC4 channel carries no signal. C2=02H
indicates that the payload carried by the VC4 channel is multiplexed by following the
TUG multiplex path. C2=15H indicates that the payload of the VC4 channel is FDDI
signals. To multiplex 2 M signals, C2 needs to select the TUG structure. The settings
of C2 on the Send Port and Receive Port must be the same. If the settings are not
the same, the HP-SLM alarm is submitted on the device containing the receive port,
indicating that the signals received actually on C2 is different from the signals which
C2 should receive.

10.1 CE1 Overview

CE1 Introduction
E1 is a digital communication system defined by ITU-T. The transmission speed is 2.048
Mbit/s.
E1/CE1 interface refers to channelized E1 interface. It has two operating modes: E1 (clear
channel) mode and CE1 (channelized) mode.
l

When the interface operates in E1 mode, it is like an interface that does not have any
time slots, and has a bandwidth of 2.048 Mbit/s. Its logical features are the same with
those of a synchronization serial port. It supports link layer protocols, like PPP, HDLC
and frame trunk. It also supports IP network protocols.
When the interface operates in CE1 mode, it has 32 time slots (ID: 0-31). Among
which, time slot 1 to time slot 30 can be grouped in any methods, and time slot 0 is
used to transmit frame synchronization signals. Thus time slot 0 cannot be bound.
When some time slots are bound, they can be used as an interface (channel-set). Its
logical features are the same with those of a synchronization serial port. It supports
link layer protocols, like PPP, HDLC and frame trunk. It also supports IP network
protocols.

The CE1 configuration described in this manual is the configuration of the E1 interface in
CE1 operating mode.

E-Carrier and T-Carrier Interface

T-Carrier is the first digital carrier system. It defined the standards for digital
transmission and exchange, including the transforming of analogue voice signals to
digital signals. T-Carrier consists of 64 kbit/s signaling channels, called DS-0 (Digital
Signal). ANSI defined the standards for T-Carrier in T1.107. T-Carrier is widely used
in north America and Japan. It also contributes to the development of other carrier
systems, for example, E-Carrier.

E-Carrier is a digital communication system defined by ITU-T. It evolves from E-1

(2.048 Mbit/s), and it is used in areas except north America and Japan.
l

Digital Carrier System

A carrier system has multiple logical signaling channels in a single physical channel.
Thus it supports multi-communication. In a digital carrier system, a single digital
circuit with large-capacity supports multiple logical signaling channels. Each signaling
channel supports an independent communication channel.

Channelized, Unchannelized, and Clear Channel

The following are the operating modes for E-Carrier and T-Carrier interfaces:

Channelized: In framed mode, time slots except frame header of digital code
stream (E1, T1, E3, and DS3) can be allocated to multiple channels.

Unchannelized: In framed mode, time slots except frame header of digital code
stream (E1, T1, E3, and DS3) can only be allocated to one channel.

Clear Channel: It is also call unframed mode. Any bit in a code stream carries
data, and the data in code stream belongs to one channel.

11.1 PPP Overview

PPP Introduction
PPP is a widely used WAN protocol.
It realizes point-to-point connections of
router-to-router and host-to-network across synchronous and asynchronous circuits. PPP
provides a set of solutions for problems of link establishment, maintenance, withdrawing,
upper layer protocol negotiation, authentication, and so on.
PPP comprises the following parts:
l
l

Link Control Protocol (LCP): It is responsible for establishing, maintaining and

terminating a physical connection.
Network Control Protocol (NCP): NCP is a stack of protocols. It is responsible for the
network protocol running over the physical connection and solving the problems on
the upper layer network protocol.
Authentication protocol
The common authentication protocols used in PPP include Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Generally,
PAP and CHAP are encapsulated on serial links to provide security authentication.

PAP and CHAP

PAP uses two-way handshake authentication. The user name and the password are
transmitted in plain text on links. The procedure of PAP authentication is described below.
1. The authenticated device sends its user name and password to the authenticating
device.
2. The authenticating device checks whether the user name and the password are correct
according to the configuration, and then returns different response according to the
result.
CHAP is safer than PAP. It uses three-way handshake to check the identification of the
remote node periodically. It uses inquiring messages to prevent twice-born attacks. The
procedure of CHAP authentication is described below.

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

1. The authenticating device sends some packets generated at random to the

authenticated device.
2. The authenticated device uses its password and Message Digest 5 Algorithm (MD5)
to encrypt the random packets, and then sends the cryptograph to the authenticating
device.
3. The authenticating device uses its password saved for the authenticated device and
MD5 to encrypt the primary random packets. It compares the cryptographs, and then
returns different response according to the result.

PPP Features
PPP protocol has two parts, LCP and NCP. They are used to negotiate to establish and
maintain point-to-point link on interfaces (such as E1, T1, E3, T3 and POS). Meanwhile,
LCP and NCP provide packet encapsulation format which is different from that of Ethernet
protocol for upper layer protocols.
For a upper layer protocol packet (such as IP packet, MPLS packet, and so on), a 2bytes
protocol field is encapsulated to the packet, and two PPP headers with a fixed value
(0xFF03) is added. According to actual requirements, the PPP header can be compressed
by negotiation.
PPP negotiation has three stages, LCP, authentication (optional) and NCP.
l

Authentication stage can be selected according to the actual requirements. Generally,

authentication is applied on access routers to authenticate and authorize access of
users.
NCP includes IP Control Protocol (IPCP), IPv6CP and MPLSCP, OSINLCP, Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP), and so on. Negotiation is necessary for IPCP (supporting
IPv4), but other NCP protocols can be selected according to actual requirements.
After IPCP negotiation is successful, the protocol be set up on a PPP port.

Compared with Ethernet encapsulation:

l

PPP has higher bandwidth use rate. For shorter packets, the effect is more
obvious. Additionally, compared with Ethernet encapsulation, the encapsulation of
a PPP packet header is more simple. Complex MAC header encapsulation and
decapsulation is removed from the mechanism of packet sending and receiving.
PPP protocol state machine is more complex than that of Ethernet, because PPP
protocol is set up after the negotiation is successful on an interface. After that, the
upper layer can send and receive service packets.
By default, the protocol state is in down state on an interface after a PPP interface
is created. After PPP negotiation is successful, the interfaces will be in up state.
After PPP link negotiation is successful, both sides will send LCP keepalive packets
periodically. If one side fails to receive ECHO response packets after N (N >= 1)
keepalive request packets are sent by the other side, the link will be in down state.
Meanwhile, the protocol state is down. The operations (such as route recalculation,
route update, and so on) are triggered.

12.1 HDLC Overview

HDLC Introduction
HDLC is a type of link layer protocol. It provides transparent point-to-point transmission for
the upper layer protocol (IP). It is parallel to other Layer 2 protocols (such as PPP, FR, and
so on) and provides services meeting different requirements for the upper layer protocol.
The hierarchy of HDLC in the protocol stack is shown in Figure 12-1.
Figure 12-1 Hierarchy of HDLC in Protocol Stack

HDLC can aggregate several POS interfaces encapsulated with HDLC into a POSgroup
logical interface. On ZXR10 M6000-S, posgroup provides more flexible and effective
solutions about network architecture for users. It brings more flexibility in network planning
and network architecture designing with ZXR10 series products. It also improves the
network stability greatly, especially for Ethernet and network environments in which
Ethernet interfaces are used. POSgroup function can extend bandwidth, which makes
the cost to construct network more reasonable.
l

POSgroup can improve the communication ability of the links. It aggregates several
POS interfaces into an interface. The bandwidth of a POSgroup interface is the
bandwidth sum of the member interfaces. In this way, the interface bandwidth is
increased.

Posgroup supports the aggregation of POS interfaces across boards and of different
speeds.
POSgroup supports two modes of load sharing, per-packet mode and per-destination
mode.
64 POSgroup interfaces can be configured at most.
There are 16 POS interfaces at most in each POSgroup interface.

HDLC Features
HDLC provides a mechanism to detect whether the physical link works properly. It provides
an encapsulation mode for the upper layer packets. HDLC supports encapsulation for IP
packets and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) packets. In addition,
HDLC can aggregate several POS interfaces encapsulated with HDLC into a logical
interface with larger bandwidth, that is, implementing link aggregation of POS interfaces.
Link aggregation means to aggregate several physical links with the same transmission
medium and speed to form a data channel in logic. The POSgroup link aggregation is
shown in Figure 12-2.
Figure 12-2 POSgroup Link Aggregation

l
l

POSgroup link aggregation is to aggregate several physical POS interfaces into a

logical interface with more bandwidth.
The POS interfaces should be encapsulated with HDLC.
The POSgroup interface is a Layer 3 interface encapsulated with HDLC. In forwarding
of Layer 3 packets, except for the encapsulation of link layer protocol, the basic
forwarding principle and mechanism of a POSgroup are the same with that of a
SmartGroup.
Link aggregation of POS interfaces is implemented by MHDLC, including POS
interface aggregation, de-aggregation, state management of the aggregation
interface, change of load sharing, and so on.

Devices of most vendors support CISCO HDLC. At present, ZTE devices also support
CISCO HDLC. The main function of CISCO HDLC is to provide transparent transmission
for the upper layer protocol. The chief characteristic of CISCO HDLC is simple and
effective.

13.1 ICBG Overview

An Inter-Chassis Backup Group (ICBG) can be bound to an interface and a redundancy
group to implement mapping between chassis. The master/backup relationship is
determined through detection, and devices are notified to perform inter-chassis ARP
backup. This saves the ARP learning procedure that takes a lot of time, saves the system
costs, and ensures that traffic at the forwarding plane is not lost because there is no ARP
entry after switchover.

14.1 Multilink Overview

Multilink Introduction
As an optional feature of PPP, PPP Multilink Protocol (Multilink) allows PPP to bind multiple
physical links into use like one high-performance link. It must be well prepared during
the link configuration. During the operation, Multilink fragments all the PPP frames and
transmits the PPP frame fragments through different physical links.
Multilink is realized as a new sublayer in the PPP architecture. The Multilink sublayer
is usually inserted into normal PPP mechanism and a network layer protocol using PPP.
Therefore, the Multilink sublayer can obtain all the network layer data sent through PPP
links. The received network layer data are then scattered to multiple physical links without
causing interruption between the normal PPP mechanism and the network layer protocol
of a PPP interface.

Multilink Features
Multilink port is a virtual port and has all the functions of a normal layer-3 port. Multiple PPP
ports are bound to the Multilink port, meaning that one Multilink virtual port corresponds to
multiple PPP physical real ports (Multilink corresponds to multiple physical links).
For relation between Multilink and PPP, refer to Figure 14-1. LCP is negotiated by each
PPP independently. The configuration options carried by an LCP must include options
corresponding to Multilink (such as MRRU, EPD, short sequence, and class header
format.) After the successful LCP negotiation, NCP negotiation is started. The NCP
negotiation is completed by the Multilink virtual port (the verifying flow of LCP is the same
as that of a normal PPP port, and therefore related details are omitted in the following
figure).

Figure 14-1 Relation Between Multilink and PPP

Multilink has the following features.

l

During the basic parameters negotiation in the LCP link creation, the following three
configuration options are defined to negotiate the start of Multilink: Multilink Maximum
Received Reconstructed Unit (MRRU), Multilink Short Sequence Number Header
Format (SSNHF), and endpoint discriminator.
Before the use of Multilink, at least Multilink MRRU has to be negotiated successfully
on each link between two devices. Once the negotiation is completed, each physical
link has an LCP link. The LCP links form a virtual bundle, and Multilink will be able to
work.
On a low-speed link, such as the traditional circuit E1/T1, multiple low-speed links can
be bundled into one logical link through the Multilink protocol. To some extent, this
increases the bandwidth.
Comparing with an ordinary PPP packet in terms of encapsulation format, the long
Multilink packet increases a 4-byte overhead, and the short Multilink packet increases
a 4-byte overhead.
To some extent, Multilink fragmentation and reconstruction will occupy many CPU
resources.

15.1 LAN/WAN Handover Overview

10 G Ethernet can be used as LAN or WAN. Due to the difference of working environment
between LAN and WAN.
l

There are many differences between the requirements of indicators, including the
requirements of clock oscillation, Bit Error Rate (BER) and QoS. Therefore, the
standards of two different physical mediums are defined.
There are some common points between the two physical layers, for example, they
share the same MAC layer, only support full duplex, omit the CSMA/CD policy and
use optical fiber as physical medium.

The physical layer of a 10 G LAN has the following features. It supports 802.3 MAC
full duplex working mode. The frame format is the same as Ethernet frame format. The
working rate is 10 Gb/s. The a 10 G LAN transmits Ethernet frames on the optical fiber
directly. As LAN Ethernet uses Ethernet frame format, the transmission rate is 10 Gb/s.
A 10 G WAN uses OC-192c (optical counterpoint of STS-192c) frame format to transmit
data on links, and the transmission rate is 9.953280 Gb/s.
At present, RP-02XGE-SFP+-S/RP-01XGE-SFP+-S supports 10 G LAN and 10 G WAN
access.
Here take RP-02XGE-SFP+-S as an example, RP-02XGE-SFP+-S consists of an optical
interface module, a Physical layer (PHY) module, a Field Programmable Gate Array
(FPGA) and an Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD).

Port Damping Configuration

Port Damping Overview............................................................................................16-1
Configuring the Port Damping Function ....................................................................16-1
Port Damping Configuration Example.......................................................................16-3

16.1 Port Damping Overview

In network applications, device interfaces are switched frequently from up state to down
state because of many reasons (such as physical signal disturbing, link layer configuration
error and so on). Thus, the routing protocols, MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) and
so on are oscillated repeatedly, which influence on device and network heavily.
Damping controls the frequent interface up/down events to make the appearance
probability less than a certain frequency. In this way, device and network stability are not
influenced .
Port damping restrains the frequent up/down events on interface in the following aspects,
1. The penalty value of the port is added when its state turns to down.
2. The up/down state switching will not be reported if the penalty value exceeds the
suppression threshold value.
3. Penalty value is reduced automatically as the time goes on. It is similar to element
attenuation. Half-time decides damping decrement. The penalty value is attenuated
in every 500ms.
4. Port damping will be cancelled on interface when the penalty value attenuates to the
reuse threshold value. The penalty value will be set as 0 if the penalty value attenuates
to or less than 50% of reuse threshold value.
5. The suppression time will be calculated when port damping starts. Port damping will
be canceled if the down event is not received in the maximum suppression time.
6. Port state will not be reported unless up/down event occurs.
7. System will give an alarm when port damping is started, and a recovery alarm will be
given when port Damping is cancelled.

16.2 Configuring the Port Damping Function

Other Interfaces
Configuration
Logical interfaces are manually configured interfaces which do not physically exist.
The ZXR10 M6000-S supports the following logical interfaces, loopback, NULL, Ulei,
Tunnel, SDU, SuperVLAN, and SmartGroup interfaces. These logical interfaces share
the following features:
1. There is no corresponding physical interface, though mapping relationships
sometimes exist between the real and logical interfaces.
2. Logical interfaces (except NULL interfaces) cannot be automatically generated
accompanied with physical interfaces. They have to be created manually in
accordance with actual requirements.

17.1 Configuring a Loopback Interface

The loopback interface is a virtual interface that is most widely applied. After being created,
the loopback interface maintains in UP status and can be looped back. It is commonly used
to stabilize the configuration.

Context
A loopback interface has the following usage:
l

After planning the network architecture, the system administrator creates a loopback
interface for each router and assigns an IP address for each loopback interface.
The system administrator logs in to a router through the corresponding loopback IP
address by using the Telnet application. Since the loopback interface is always on
UP status after being created, the IP address of the loopback interface functions as
a device name. The loopback interface does not interconnect with the peer end.
Therefore, the IP address of the loopback interface is set as a 32-digit mask.
The IP address of loopback interface acts as Router-ID of dynamic routing protocol
(such as OSPF and BGP).

17-1
SJ-20140731105308-008|2014-10-20 (R1.0)

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

ZXR10 M6000-S Configuration Guide (Interface Configuration)

In dynamic routing protocol running process (OSPF and BGP), a Router-ID needs to
be specified to act as the unique identifier of the router. The Router-ID is unique in the
entity autonomous system. The Router-ID is a 32-bit unsigned integer, which is very
similar to an IP address. The IP address cannot be repeated, therefore, Router-ID
is usually specified to be the IP address of a interface on router. The IP address of
a loopback interface is usually regarded as the identifier of a router, so it is the best
choice of Router-ID.
l

It can act as the source address of the BGP to create the TCP connection.
In BGP, the neighborhood is created by TCP connection between two routers
running BGP. Specify loopback interfaces to be the source addresses to create TCP
connection. It is usually applied to Interior Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP), which

17.2 Configuring a NULL Interface

This procedure describes the application scenario and configuration of a NULL interface.

Context
The NULL interface is a logical interface that cannot be configured with an IP address. The
NULL interface can be used in the BGP to save an IP address, and it also can be used to
configure a black hole routing for avoiding loops.
All the data packets transmitting to the NULL interface are discarded. For example, all the
packets transmitting to 192.101.0.0 will be discarded by running the ip route 192.101.0.0
255.255.0.0 null1 command.

Steps
1. Configure a NULL interface.
The system automatically creates a NULL1 interface. It needs no configuration and
cannot be deleted.

17.3 Configuring a ULEI Interface

This procedure describes the application scenario of HLEI interfaces and steps and
commands for configuring a ULEI interface.

Context
A Universal Logical Ethernet Interface (ULEI) is a logical interface with Ethernet attributes.
The ULEI interface supports all Ethernet services (sub-interfaces, VLAN, QINQ, L2VPN,
L3VPN, routing, BFD, and MSTP). The ULEI interface implements the following purposes:
l

VPN bridging between layer 2 and layer 3.

That is, layer-2 VPN is terminated to layer-3 VPN on a device.
Implementing bridging between layer 2 and layer 3, a ULEI interface must be created
on an ETH board. A service bridging virtual link (SVB) is established between two
ULEI interfaces on an ETH board, and the two ULEI interfaces are bound with L2VPN
and L3VPN respectively.

Non-Ethernet interface implementing the ETH service.

The ULEI supports FR, ATM, and other bridging ETH services after being extended.
The ULEI is used to shield differences among various interfaces. Thus physical
interfaces are not sensed during services.
Implementing the heterogeneity of the ETH service, a ULEI interface must be created
on a POS board. After the POS interface is mapped to the ULEI interface, the ULEI
interface implements the ETH service.

Steps
1. Configure a ULEI interface.

17.4 Configuring a Tunnel

This procedure describes the application scenario of Tunnel interfaces and steps and
commands for configuring a Tunnel interface.

Context
Tunnel is a type of encapsulation technology that uses a network protocol to transmit
another network protocol. That is, the tunnel technology uses a network transmission
protocol to encapsulate data packets generated by other protocols in its own packets, and
then transmits them in the network.
At present, the tunnels supported by the ZXR10 M6000-S include GRE_tunnel, TE_tunnel,
and v6_tunnel.
l

GRE_tunnel
The Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a mechanism for encapsulating a
packet of one protocol into a packet of another protocol. This enables packets to be
transmitted across different networks. Channels over which packets are transmitted
across different networks are called tunnels. The GRE can also acts as Layer3
tunneling protocol of the VPN, providing a transparent channel for VPN data.
The process of transmitting packets through a GRE tunnel includes encapsulation and
decapsulation processes.
After receiving the data that needs to be encapsulated and routed over any network
layer protocol (such as IPX), the system first adds a GRE packet header to the data to
form a GRE packet, and then encapsulates the packet over another protocol (such as
17-8

SJ-20140731105308-008|2014-10-20 (R1.0)

ZTE Proprietary and Confidential

Chapter 17 Other Interfaces Configuration

IP). As specified by the GRE encapsulation specification, the GRE can encapsulate
Layer-2 frames (such as PPP frames and MPLS) besides IP packets.
l

TE_Tunnel
The RSVP is an advertisement mechanism for reserved resources used across the
network. It is not a routing protocol. Routing decisions are made by the IGP protocol,
the IGP TE extension, and the CSPF. The RSVP is only used to advertise and maintain
reserved resources on the network. The TE-extended RSVP protocol is called the
RSVP-TE protocol, which can be used in MPLS-TE signaling.
The process of establishing a tunnel for RSVP-TE signaling is as follows:

1. The head end of a tunnel sends a Path message to the next hop along the
calculated path to advertise the procedure of establishing a tunnel.
2. After receiving the Path message, the downstream router performs admission
control, including checking the validity of the message and the resource
requested by the message. If admission control is successful, the downstream
router generates a new Path message and sends it to the next hop in the Explicit
Route Object (ERO).
3. The tail end of the tunnel also performs admission control. Knowing that the local
router is the destination of the Path message, the tail end returns a Resv message
to the upstream router, carrying the flag used when the upstream router sends the
packet to the local router.
4. After receiving the Resv message, each node reserves resources based on the
resource requirement of this message, writes the forwarding table based on the
flag carried by this message, generates a new Resv message, and sends it to
the upstream router. After the new Resv message arrives at the head node, the
establishment of a tunnel is completed.
v6_tunnel
The IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling mechanism first encapsulates an IPv4 packet header for
an IPv6 packet, and makes the IPv6 packet pass through the IPv4 network through a
tunnel. This interconnects isolated IPv6 networks.
A tunnel can be established between host-host, host-device, device-host, and
device-device. The termination of a tunnel may be the destination of an IPv6 packet,
and the IPv6 packet may be further forwarded. Based on the methods for obtaining
the IPV4 address of a tunnel termination, tunnels are divided into "self-defined
tunnels" and "auto tunnels".
For IPv4/IPv6 over IPv6 tunnels, the protocol encapsulates IPv4 or IPv6 packets to
enable encapsulated packets to be transmitted over another IPv6 network. These
encapsulated packets are IPv6-tunnel packets.

Steps
1. Configuring a Tunnel.
Run the following command to configure a GRE tunnel on the ZXR10 M6000-S:
