Yuri, what is the CE device you are using? Does it have E-LMI support?

 

Tnx

Arie

I'm trying to achieve a function similar to LFP,link pass through (this
is what its called on Alcalu Ethernet/MPLS switches). If one side of the
psudowire is down, I would like the adjacent port to also go down to
prevent black holing traffic. Obviously lowering hold timers, or using
PFR with IP SLA could prevent such behaviors, but LFP is a nice feature
to have.

Yuri,

7600 support Remote Port Shutdown per the below documentation reference,

What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks

Does anyone know if this feature is in fact supported on the
7600(RSP720-3C-GE)?

There seems to be conflicting information between the Feature Navigator
and other related documents.

According to this article, it is supported as of 12.2(33)SRB, for the
7600.

I was curious if anyone knows off hand, or has the resources to easily
find out.

I'm struggling with a use for DWDM optics.  I understand the concept of
DWDM/CWDM and phase shifting to create more links over a single fiber.  Once
that is done the ASIC/FPGA bandwidth allocated to the port remains the same,
correct?  So if I create multiple 1G connections on a single port with these
magic sfp's am I still limited by the 1g/2g chip in the device.  Are all the
logical connections forced to be sub-rate?  I know the larger equipment
handles this differently, so I'm only concerned with the 3750/3560 size
boxes.

Thanks,

There's only +/-6,000 IPv6 entries in the BGP routing table 
today.

Of course, expect this number to grow - it's grown more in 
the past 12 months than it has in the last couple of years.

I suppose old habits die very hard! 

Clearly, v4 hasn't taught some of us anything.

We filter up to a /48.

/48 tends to be the informally agreed limit, but different 
networks may have varying strategies.

My memory is rather vague on this, but I think I recall a 
customer once asking us about this capability. We checked 
with our SE and were told support wasn't there for this 
feature.

An LFP search, at the time, turned up something about this 
being supported on Cisco's ONS platforms, which I'm certain 
isn't what you're looking for.

Again, it's been a very long time since I last talked about 
this with my SE, but if memory serves, that was the 
conversation.

Of course, things could be much more different now.

Mark.

Hmm, I may be misunderstanding - but I think you are misunderstanding how 
DWDM tuned optics works.  A 1g or 10g DWDM optic is still a singe 1 or 10 
interface.  It's just that that transmit laser is tuned to a channel (i.e. 
1546.12).

Router#sh int tenGigabitEthernet 7/1 | inc media
   Full-duplex, 10Gb/s, media type is DWDM-46.12

The reason you may need this is to connect this port directly to a 
(R)OADM.  There are (at least) two ways on the DWDM transport side to 
handle this:

a) Use a *sponder (transponder = 1:1, muxponder = n:1, etc).  You can use 
'grey' optics now (i.e. good ole SX/LX etc).  These cards on the DWDM side 
are expensive though.

or

b) Buy DWDM optics, and go directly into the mux/demux on the DWDM.

We are doing option b) in parts of our network because the cost of a) was 
too much, and these links aren't going to do any moving around or going 
away any time soon.

Again, apologies if I've misunderstood you.

No this is exactly what I was looking for.  I can definitely understand the
usefulness of having your routers transmit on a specific channel.  Thanks!
