HAPTER 7: PACKET OVER SONET ADMINISTRATION
■ Photonic Layer — Converts the electrical STS-n signal to an optical
signal, referred to as Optical Carrier. This OC-n signal is then
transmitted over the circuit.
Each layer consists of its own overhead bytes. This overhead provides the
powerful management and fault-tolerance capabilities inherent in a SONET
network.
SONET overhead also provides for various alarms and error messages —
known as defects — to be reported. Alarms allow for the reporting of
network failures; error messages report incomplete failures that may
compromise data transmission.
SONET interface administration on the Cuda 12000 includes:
■ Displaying POS Interface Information
■ Disabling and Enabling Interfaces
■ Viewing POS Interface Packet Statistics
■ Viewing SONET Line-Layer Information
■ Viewing SONET Path Layer Information
■ Viewing and Configuration Section Layer Administration
■ Configuring and Viewing SONET Alarms
