[j-nsp] RE : ALS on Juniper

[david.roy at orange-ftgroup.com]

Hi 

thank you.

What I try to do is to simulate an unidirectionnal link failure (for OAM LFM tests). So I'm not sure that there is a way to disable ALS. 

Regards
David

I can only vouch for the EX platform, but in some testing I did a while back it would appear that yanking a single core from an SFP takes the transmitter down on both sides.  A log message is also generated that lets you know that RX has fallen below a certain threshold and the transmitter is being shut down.  No configuration is required to make this happen.

I suspect this would be reliant on you using Juniper "certified" optics though as you'd need digital diagnostics.
