Creating an SNCP VC12 or VC3 Trail

By creating an end-to-end VC12 or VC3 trail, you can quickly create an E1 or T1 or E3

or T3 SDH service with SNCP. The methods for creating an SNCP VC12 or VC3 trail
in different protection subnets are the same.

Prerequisites

• You must be an NM user with "network operator" authority or higher.

• The VC4 server trail is created between the source and sink NEs, and free
timeslots are available on the VC4 server trail.
• For release 4.0 NEs, including the OptiX 155/622H (Metro 1000), the OptiX
155/622, the OptiX 2500+ (Metro 3000), and the OptiX Metro 3100 and so on,
the protection subnet and SNCP nodes must be created. The dual-fed and
selective-receive points must be on the ring.

Context

When the VC12/VC3 trail transits multiple VC4 server trails, the consistency of VC4
timeslot used by each server trail is not required, but the T2000 automatically uses the
server trails that use the same VC4 timeslot if possible.

Procedure

1. Choose Trail > SDH Trail Creation from the Main Menu.
2. Set the service direction and the level to VC12 or VC3.
3. Set the resource usage strategy to Protected Resource and the protection
priority strategy to SNCP First.

NOTE:

Pay attention to the following points when setting the parameters:

oResource Usage Strategy defines the protection subnet resources or

timeslots available during trail creation. The values are Protected
Resource, Extra Resource and All Resource.
o Protection Priority Strategy defines the protection subnet resources to
be selected first during trail creation. The values are Trail Protection
First, SNCP First and NP First.
4. Double-click the source NE and the sink NE in turn. Select the port in the Select
Board Port dialog box and click OK. The trail is automatically selected, and is
displayed between the NEs.
5. Optional: Specify the explicit link of the service.
o Click a server trail between the NEs to specify the included route. Click
the trail again or click Cancel Route Restriction to cancel the selection.
o Click the Explicit Link tab. Right-click the blank area in the tab and
choose Add from the shortcut menu. In the Add Explicit Link window
displayed, you can search for the existing server trails and set them as the
explicit links of the trails to be created.
6. Optional: Specify the explicit node.
o Click the Explicit Node tab. Double-click an NE of the subnet to specify
the explicit NE of the route. This NE is shown as the icon. Double-
click the NE again to cancel the selection.
o Click the Explicit Node tab. Right-click the blank area in the tab and
choose Add from the shortcut menu. In the Add Explicit Node window
displayed, you can search for the nodes and set them as the explicit
nodes of the trails to be created.
7. Optional: Specify the excluded node.
o Click the Excluded Node tab. You can specify the NE that the route of
the trail to be created is not allowed to pass through by double-clicking
the NE. The selected NE is marked with a sign. (Double-click the NE
again to cancel the selection.)
o Click the Excluded Node tab. Right-click the blank area and choose
Add from the shortcut menu. In the Add Excluded Node window
displayed, you can search for the nodes and set them as the explicit
nodes of the trails to be created.
8. Optional: Click Set Route Timeslot. The Set Route Timeslot dialog box is
displayed. Select the timeslot and click OK.

NOTE:

o If you do not assign the timeslot, the first available timeslot is selected
automatically.
o If multiple trails are selected, right-click them and choose Uniform
Timeslot. T2000 consider the timeslot value of the trail in the first row
as the datum value and modify the timeslot values of other trails to be
consistent with the datum value. In this way, all trails use the same
timeslot.
9. Click the SNCP setting tab.
 o Right-click the dual-fed point and choose Set Dual-Fed Point, and the
node is displayed as . Right-click the selective-receiving point and
choose Set Selective-Receiving Point, and the node is displayed as .
o Right-click the area in the tab and choose Add from the shortcut menu.
In the Add the dual-fed and selective-receiving node displayed, select
Dual-Fed Point and Selective-Receiving Point. Click OK.

10. Optional: If the trail passes through the ASON, you can check the Select
ASON Server Trail First check box. Click the ASON Attributes Settings tab
and set the corresponding protection attributes.
11. Click the General Attributes tab and set the general attributes of the trail, such
as the Name and Order No..
12. Optional: If you do not want to activate the created trail when the configuration
is issued to NEs, you can uncheck the Activate the trail check box.

NOTE:

o If you activate a trail, the service configuration data of the trail is sent to
the NE.
o If you do not activate a trail, the service configuration data of the trail is
stored at the NE layer on the T2000.
13. Optional: Check the Alarm Reversion check box to set the alarm reversion on
the trail to be created.
14. Optional: If you want to create multiple trails with the same route, check the
Copy after Creation check box. After the creation of the trail, a dialog box is
displayed and you can copy the trail.
15. Click Apply. In the Operation Result dialog box displayed, click Close.
