OEL2 Aggregation
Figure 8 shows an example of the BayStack 380 used to aggregate the uplink
connection from OPTera Metro 1200 Ethernet Service modules (OM 1200 ESM)
at one site to a Passport 8600 at another site. Inexpensive copper connections can
be used to connect the OM 1200 OSM units to the BayStack 380 at one site, while
small form factor pluggable gigabit interface connectors (SFP GBICs) connect the
BayStack 380 to the Passport 8600 at the other site.
Configuring the OEL2 aggregation requires four major steps:
1 Configure the OM 1200 ESM units
2 Configure the multi-link transfer (MLT) ports that link the OM 1200 ESM
units to the BayStack 380.
