Ethernet Switch
Switch Configuration
FibeAir IP-10 supports Single Pipe and Managed Switch configurations. Single Pipe is the default option, and does not require a license configuring the IDU to Managed Switch requires a license. Single (Smart) Pipe is the default method, which allows only a single GBE interface for traffic (optical GBE-SFP or Electrical GBE, 10/100/1000 mbps). Traffic originating from any GBE interface will be sent directly to the radio and vice versa. This method allows QoS configuration. Other FE (10/100 mbps) interfaces are "functional" interfaces (WSC, Protection, Management).
Managed Switch is an 802.1Q VLAN-aware bridge, allowing L2 switching based on VLANs. Each traffic port can be configured as an "access" port or a "trunk" port, as follows:

The Managed Switch method allows QoS configuration, and all Ethernet ports are allowed for traffic. Metro Switch is an 802.1ad Provider Bridge, allowing Q-in-Q switching capabilities. Each traffic port can be assigned as a "Customer Network" port or a "Provider Network" port. The port attributes are listed in the following table: Type

Allowed Egress Frames

Untagged frames of tagged (C-tag) frames S-tagged frames, carrying the configured provider ether-type, (0x88a8 by default)
Provider Network
S-Tag Ether type can be configured to one of the following values: 0x88a8 (default), 0x8100, 0x9100, or 0x9200. In the Switch Configuration page, you can choose the Ethernet switching method.
Page 44 of 167
CeraWeb User Guide
Version 6.7
Choose the method you want, as follows: Single pipe - Ethernet switching is disabled, whereby only a single Ethernet interface is used for traffic and the unit operates as a point-topoint microwave Ethernet radio. Managed switch - Ethernet switching is enabled and all the ports are used for traffic. Metro switch - This method is the same as Managed switch, but must be enabled to use Ethernet Q-in-Q provider switch. LAG Load Balancing can be configured as Simple XOR or HASH. Simple XOR performs XOR on the last three bits of the Packet Source MAC address (SA) and the Destination MAC address (DA), and according to the result, selects the link to be used in the LAG. The HASH mechanism distributes flows across multiple egress ports in a LAG. It uses a proprietary scrambling function, and uses the last three bits (LSBs) of the DA, SA. This means that two flows with the same three LSB bits, but different MSB bits, will still go to the same port. Thus, the HASH will simply distribute more evenly. In the Unit allowed VIDs area, you can define VLANs for the managed switch, as follows: 1 In the Operation field, select the operation you want to perform for the VLANs: Set - to add the VLANs to the database. Remove - to remove the VLANs from the database. Change name - to change the VLAN name you specified previously. Disable - to suspend usage of the VLAN you specified. Enable - to activate the VLAN you specified.

STP Protocol
This page allows you to configure STP parameters. This option is available only when the system operates in the Managed or Metro Switch modes. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged LAN. Spanning Tree allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links for automatic backup paths, needed for cases in which an active link fails. The backup paths can be included with no danger of bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of the backup links. Bridge loops must be avoided since they result in network flooding. You can choose between the Fast Ring RSTP and the standard RSTP protocols as defined in IEEE 802.1D.

5.2.4.1
Ingress Classifier A frame ingressed to a port will be classified according to the following criteria: 1 First Criteria: MAC DA (Destination Address) based. A frame ingressed to a port, carrying a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table (see details below), will be classified, its VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (assuming the frame egress is tagged) according to the following options: Disable - No MAC DA classification or VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (no marking). Queue Decision - There will only be classification to queue. No marking. VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits will be overwritten (marked). Classification according to a lower criteria. Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.

CeraWeb User Guide
Version 6.7
2 Second Criteria: VLAN ID based. If the first criteria is not fulfilled (whether it is disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA that appears in the Static MAC table), classification and/or marking (VLAN Pbits overwrite, assuming the frame egress is tagged) will be decided according to the VLAN ID to Queue table (see below), in accordance with the following options: Disable - No VLAN ID classification or VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking). Queue Decision - Only classification to queue. No marking. VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Only VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking). Classification will be according to lower criteria. Queue Decision & VLAN Pbits Overwrite - Both classification and VLAN Pbits overwrite.
3 Third Criteria: If both the first and second criteria are not fulfilled (whether they are both disabled, or the ingress frame does not carry a MAC DA or VLAN ID that appears in the tables), it will be classified according to the following configuration: VLAN Pbits - Classification according to VLAN Pbits. Queue is assigned according to the VLAN Pbits Priority Remap table (see below). IP TOS - Classification according to IP TOS (IP precedence, or IP diffserv). Queue is assigned according to IP Pbits to Queue table (see below). VLAN Pbits over IP TOS - Classification according to VLAN Pbits, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header. IP TOS over VLAN Pbits - classification according to IP TOS, if the ingress frame carries a VLAN and has an IP header. Port (Default) - If any of the above criteria is not fulfilled, the default classification will be assigned to the ingress frame. Classifier Tables (in the Advanced field)

VLAN Pbits Priority Remap
Single table per port. Allows you to remap VLAN-priority bit values 0-7, to any other preferable value in the range of 0-7. The number of table entries is eight (all CoS legal values). Remapping a table can be used to scale down some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 3:0), while at same time scaling up some port priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 7:4), or to ensure that specific priorities are reserved for specific purposes, by initially remapping all frames away from reserved priorities (for example, from 7:0 to 4:0, protecting priorities 7:5). 5.2.4.3 Egress Scheduler The Egress Scheduler section of the QoS & Rate Limiting window determines how frames are output from the queues.
The fourth queue is the Highest Priority Queue, and the first queue is the Lowest Priority Queue. The following scheduling schemes are supported: Strict for all queues. Strict for fourth queue, and HRR (Hierarchical Round Robin) for third, second, and first queues. Strict for fourth and third queues, and HRR for second and first queues. HRR for all queues.
Page 51 of 167
CeraWeb User Guide
Version 6.7
In the HRR scheduling scheme, a weight is assigned to each queue, so that frames egress from the queues according to their assigned weight, to avoid "starvation" of lower priority queues. In addition, frames will egress in a "mixed" manner, to avoid "bursts" of frames from the same queue. Each queue weight can be configured, and the weight will be used by the scheduler when the specific queue is part of the HRR scheduling scheme. The queue weight is a value between 1 and 32, and is configured via the Queue Weights table. The default queue weights are 8,4,2,1. Shaper - Determines the scheduler rate (egress rate limit). Select ON or OFF. The default is OFF. Shaper Rate - The following rate steps are available: For 64 Kbps <= Rate <= 960 Kbps, in steps of 64 Kbps. 5.2.4.4 For 1000 Kbps <= Rate <= 100,000 Kbps, in steps of 1000 Kbps. For 100,000 Kbps < Rate <= 1,000,000 Kbps, in steps of 10,000 Kbps.
Ingress Rate Limiting The Ingress Rate Limiting section of the QoS & Rate Limiting window determines the port ingress rate limit.
Attach Policer - Up to five policers per port can be configured, as follows: The system supports a color blind leaky bucket scheme. Each policer has the following parameters: CIR - Committed Information Rate. Rate limiting resolution: For 64 Kbps <= CIR <= 960 Kbps, in steps of 64 Kbps For 1000 Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000 Kbps, in steps of 1000 Kbps For 100,000 Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000 Kbps, in steps of 10,000 Kbps CBS - Committed Burst Size. CBS is CIR-dependent, and should be configured in bytes: For 64 Kbps <= CIR <= 960 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 273,404 bytes. For 1000 Kbps <= CIR <= 100,000 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 132,585 bytes. For 100,000 Kbps < CIR <= 1,000,000 Kbps, 0 < CBS <= 4,192,668 bytes. Data Type - Rate can be limited based on the following data types: None (no limiting), Unknown unicast, Unknown multicast, Broadcast, Multicast, Unicast, Management, ARP, TCP-Data, TCPControl, UDP, Non- UDP, Non-TCP-UDP, Queue1, Queue2, Queue3, Queue4.

It is possible to configure up to five policy rules per policer. When a policer definition is completed, it can be associated with any port, by attaching its name to the port. This will enforce all policy rules of the policer on the port. If a policer is attached to a port, you can use the detach command to remove the policer (and all its policy rules) from the port. 5.2.4.10 Advanced Classifier - Static MAC Click Static MAC in the Advanced options area at the bottom of the QoS & Rate Limiting page.

VLAN ID is the ID of the frame. Each frame is attached with a VLAN ID. Frames are learned and filed in the static MAC table under their VLAN ID. Static MAC is the 48-bit MAC address, in octet format (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). Forward to indicates which port the frame will be forwarded to. Priority sets the classification and/or VLAN Pbits overwrite (marking), according to the QoS configurations (see QoS & Rate Limiting page above). 5.2.4.11 Copy Ports Configuration The Copy Ports Configuration section is located at the bottom of the QoS & Rate Limiting for Slots page.
Since it is common to set QoS and rate limiting settings identically in several ports, this option can be used to copy the configurations from one port to another. This saves considerable time and prevents configuration errors. Copy Priorities Configuration - Copies all Traffic Priorities using the ingress classifier. Copy Rate Limiting Configuration - Copies the Policer configuration only.

Enhanced Traffic Manager

The windows in this section enable you to configure the parameters for the Enhanced Traffic Manager (Enhanced QoS). The Enhanced Traffic Manager feature applies to the egress traffic on the Radio port (where the bottleneck is located). All the other ports function as usual. A specific license is required to use the Enhanced Traffic Manager feature.
5.2.5.1
Preparing to use Enhanced Traffic Manager This section describes how to prepare the system to enable the Enhanced Traffic Manager to minimize the impact on traffic. You must disable the egress shaper before you can use the Enhanced Traffic Manager. You should classify the in-band management traffic to ensure that the management signal is not affected. To prepare to use the Enhanced Traffic Manager: 1 Disable the QoS egress shaper. i From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > QoS & Rate Limiting. The QoS & Rate Limiting window is displayed. ii Expand the radio port (Ethernet #8). The Traffic Priorities section is displayed.

Global synchronization occurs when TCP flows that share bottleneck conditions receive loss indications at the same time. This can result in periods during which link bandwidth utilization drops significantly as a consequence of simultaneous falling to slow start of all the TCP flows. For more information about using WRED with IP-10, see IP-10 Feature Description. To enable Enhanced Traffic Manager for WRED: 1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > WRED. The WRED window is displayed.
2 From the WRED admin section, click Enable. The Enhanced Traffic Manager for WRED is enabled. Each of the eight priority queues can be given a different WRED profile curve. This curve describes the probability of randomly dropping packets as the specific queue uses more bandwidth. You can configure a separate WRED profile curve for each priority queue. Additionally, you can configure different weights for yellow (non-compliant) and green (compliant) packets so that the system drops yellow packets first. To configure WRED traffic classification rules: 1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > WRED.

The Enhanced Traffic Manager enables you to configure an Egress shaper for each priority queue. When using the Enhanced Traffic Manager feature, the egress scheduler uses the Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ) algorithm instead of Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Each priority queue is assigned a strict priority between 1 and 4 (4=High; 1=Low). WFQ weights are used to partition bandwidth between the queues of the same priority. For more information about using the Egress Shaper and Scheduler, see the IP-10 Feature Description Guide. To enable Egress Shaper and Scheduler: 1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Ethernet Switch > Enhanced Traffic Manager > Egress Shaper & Scheduler. The Egress Shaper & Scheduler window is displayed.

The explanation of how to configure the IF Combining parameters is discussed in the Radio Diversity section. For more information, see IF Combining Parameters on page 108. This window also controls the MAC header compression feature. Radio transmission (compared with Fiber optics and other line base links) has limited bandwidth and compression is required to improve available capacity utilization. The benefit of using MAC header compression is that it can be used as a supplement to the other compression without affecting traffic performance. Ceragon proprietary MAC Header compression improves the effective throughput by up to 45%, and does not affect user traffic. MAC header compression is based on the following: Dropping the Preamble + SFD + IFG saves 20 bytes. Dropping the Ethernet type saves 2 bytes. Adding a GFP header adds 4 bytes.
In addition: Frequently repeating SA & DA are learned.

Multi Radio Multi-radio enables two separate radio links to be shared by a single Ethernet port. This provides an Ethernet link over the radio with double capacity, which still behaves as a single layer-2 MAC. The two separate radio links may be implemented using XPIC or separate frequencies. This feature is available only for IDUs which are inserted in a shelf. Multi-radio cannot be used in tandem with the following features: 1+1 HSB Space Diversity Multi-radio feature is applicable for Ethernet data only. For TDM, each link remains separate, and users can decide to configure trails to either radio (or both, by using SNCP or ABR). You should ensure that the two radio links are using the same radio script in order for Multi-radio to perform at maximum efficiency. Since traffic is distributed between both carriers at layer 1 level, a failure in one of the radio links may cause all Ethernet frames to be affected. Therefore, Multi-radio performs actions to ensure graceful degradation in the case of a failure. You can configure a link to be blocked, so that the transmitter does not distribute data to this link and the receiver ignores it when combining. To configure the Multi Radio settings: 1 From the navigation tree, select Configuration > Radio > Radio Parameters. The Radio Parameters window is displayed. 2 From the bottom of the Radio Parameters window, click Refresh. The current radio parameters are displayed in the Multi Radio section.

MRMC Configuration
In this page, you can configure MRMC script parameters.
5.3.4.1
MRMC Configuration MRMC Scripts displays the current selected radio script. Occupied bandwidth (MHz) displays the actual bandwidth occupied by the radio signal. This should not be confused with Channel Spacing, which indicates the allocated bandwidth for the RF channel. Operational mode can be ACM Adaptive, ACM Fixed, Regular (non ACM radio script). Min adaptive ACM profile is the minimum configured profile that will never be exceeded when ACM is active. Max adaptive ACM profile is the maximum configured profile that will never be exceeded when ACM is active. Adaptive Tx power admin displays is power admin is enabled. When enabled, the radio power is adjusted to the current profile that is being used.
5.3.4.2
Current TX ACM adaptive profile indicates the current ACM profile used for transmission. QAM indicates the current modulation used for transmission. Bitrate indicates the current transmitted bit rate, in Mbps.

MRMC Table ACM Scripts ACM scripts can be distinguished from regular scripts by their ACM prefix. For ACM scripts, expand the line (by clicking the +).
Two options are available for ACM scripts: ACM Fixed Mode - In this mode, the ACM engine will be disabled. To select a desired profile, expand the line (click the +), and choose the profile. The radio will use only the profile you selected. ACM Adaptive Mode (shown in the page below) - In this mode, the radio will be adaptive, and the ACM engine will be enabled. To select a maximum profile, expand the line (click the +), and select the profile. The profile is the maximum that the ACM may reach, but never exceed.
When configuring ACM script with Adaptive Mode, you can determine whether or not the RFU power will be adaptive as well. In the Adaptive Power admin field, enable or disable the capability to adapt the power. In the Reference class field, configure the system reference class, which can be "Class-2/4/5B/6A" for ETSI, or FCC for FCC.

Version 6.7
ACM can operate in one of two scenarios: Increase capacity (increase throughput) Increase availability
The first scenario is for customers with links of several E1s in a low class, and now want to use ACM to add Ethernet traffic with lower availability. The second scenario is for customers who plan the link for a specific availability and capacity, but want lower capacity even in higher fades. In the first scenario, the user will plan the link according to low class channel, and when the condition allows, the link will increase the modulation. This increase of modulation may require lowering the output power to decrease the non-linearity of the transmitter for the higher constellations. Adaptive power options can be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the maximum Tx power in lower constellations is limited by the highest modulation. If enabled, the maximum Tx power in lower constellations is limited by the reference class configured, as listed in the following table. Reference Class Configuration
Class 2 Class 4 Class 5B Class 6A FCC
Reference QAM
4 16 64 256 4
If the adaptive feature is used, a few critical dBs can be gained in the lower constellations.

Traffic Priority
When using ACM and the available radio bandwidth is changing, it can become necessary to drop some of the outgoing traffic. The Traffic Priority window enables you to configure whether TDM or Ethernet traffic should be dropped first. The system distinguishes between four different types of traffic: High-priority TDM trails Low-priority TDM trails High-priority Ethernet traffic Low-priority Ethernet traffic
TDM traffic is configured in the TDM Trails window (Configuration > Trails > TDM Trails). For more information on configuring TDM traffic priority, see Configuring TDM Trails on page 111. Ethernet traffic is prioritized according the priority of the QoS or Enhanced QoS queues. Ethernet traffic from queues with a lower priority are dropped when there is not enough bandwidth. For more information on configuring Ethernet traffic priority: QoS & Rate Limiting see Advanced Classifier Queue Weights on page 55. Enhanced Traffic Manager see Configuration & Parameters on page 60.
The following list details the priorities for the different Traffic Priority schemes: High TDM over Ethernet (default) iv TDM high priority v TDM low priority vi Ethernet High Ethernet over TDM i Ethernet high priority ii TDM high priority iii TDM low priority iv Ethernet low priority High TDM over high Ethernet i ii iii iv TDM high priority Ethernet high priority TDM low priority Ethernet low priority

Defining a LAG PORT Click Create Lag port to define a LAG port group.
Link aggregation allows the user to group several ports into a single logical channel bound to a single MAC address. Traffic sent to the ports in such a group is distributed through a load balancing function. The group is called a LAG. There can be up to three LAG groups per IDU. Only traffic ports (including a radio port) can belong to a LAG group. The following groups of ports can be in the same LAG (ports from different groups cannot be in the same LAG): Ports 1-2 and 8 (GBE ports and radio) Ports 3-7 (FE only ports)
To add or remove ports in the LAG group, select the desired port in the window. Ports selected for the LAG group are highlighted; and ports selected for deletion are cleared in the window. The system will not allow selection of ports with different configurations (such ports will not be highlighted). Ports removed from a LAG will remain with their existing parameters, but will be initially disabled to prevent loops. Deselecting all ports will clear the entire LAG port. A LAG port can be configured as LAG #1, #2, #3, since there can be up to three LAG ports in the system. When a LAG is created by adding a first port to it, the LAG will automatically inherit all characteristics of the ports, except for the xSTP role (edge, nonCeragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 94 of 167

Version 6.7
edge), and the path cost. The LAG will initially receive default values for those parameters. In the Configuration page, the lag ports are listed in the Interface column.
In the Advanced line, you can click Allowed VIDs to assign VIDs to the LAG.
LAG Group Notes: For GBE LAG groups, both interfaces must be of the same type (electrical/optical). A radio port can be in a LAG with either electrical or optical line ports. All ports in a LAG group must be of the same data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps). A GBE LAG group may include the radio port. The configurations must be identical in all ports before adding them to the LAG logical port.

Defining Fault Criteria In the Fault Criteria area of the Ethernet Ports page, the following options allow you to determine which faults should be propagated back to the line.
Local LOF - When Automatic State Propagation is enabled, an LOF (Radio Loss of Frame) fault will always be propagated. Link ID Mismatch - When Automatic State Propagation is enabled, a Radio Link ID mismatch fault will always be propagated. MAC address ageing time - The aging time used by the MAC learning table can be a value between 15 and 3825 seconds. The default value is 300 seconds. Ethernet shutdown Rx profile threshold - When ACM adaptive mode is active, you can determine an Rx profile that will be considered a fault when the radio performance degrades below that profile. Local Excessive BER - When an Excessive BER alarm is raised locally, it will be propagated as a fault. Local LOC - When a Loss of Carrier alarm (only for optical GBE interface) is raised, it will be propagated as a fault. Remote Fault - If any of the events described above occurs at the remote (remote fault), it will be propagated locally as a fault.

If you choose STM-1 VC, the signal will be synchronized to the signal clock derived from a TDM trail. The clock will be taken from the first VC-12 configured in the STM-1 port. There is no web support for this, but there is a way to change the VC source through the CLI using the following commands:
cd interfaces/sdh/stm1/ get sync-vc (shows the VC that the system will use as the clock
and sync)
Set sync-vc XX (XX = VC number) Clock source status The clock source that is currently set.
Synchronization VC - The VC channel that is used to synchronize the STM-1 interface. AIS VC Signaling Admin - when enabled, if a signal failure at the trail outgoing from the STM-1 interface occurs, the system will signal AIS at the VC level (AIS-V) in the V5 byte of the overhead. Line Tx Protection Mode - If you choose Normal, the system will behave regularly when configuring the system to 1+1 with the STM-1 card. The redundant STM-1 will not transmit signals unless the primary IDU performs a switch due to a failure. Choose Uni-direction MSP when the system is configured for 1+1 with STM-1 cards. Both cards will transmit, and the decision of which will actually function, will be decided by other equipment connected to it.

Sync Source
Synchronous Ethernet consists of the transport of a frequency timing reference through the Ethernet physical layer. It allows the receiving side of an Ethernet link to lock onto the physical layer clock of the received Ethernet signal, which was derived from a reference clock source. The receiver is therefore frequency-synchronized with the source. IP-10 allows synchronization of the frequency of the outgoing Ethernet carrier signal with any existing TDM trail.
To configure the sync source: 1 Select Primary. 2 From the IDU that is displayed, click the interface type (Line/STM-1/Radio) to select it as the synchronization source. 3 Select the interface number and click Apply. Repeat the procedure for the secondary sync source. If you choose an interface and then click Apply, the configuration will be cleared.

Radio Diversity
The Radio Diversity feature can be used with configurations that are using two antennas. There are two modes for using two antennas with a single system: 1+0 IF combining and 1+1 Space diversity. 1+1 Space diversity is a feature that enables the system to dynamically choose at every moment the best received signal between two radio carriers configured as 1+1 HSB. This allows data flow to be unaffected in the event of unwanted physical events affecting the radio channel, such as fading. It is implemented at the base-band level and thus requires no special RFU connections or upgrades. This feature is available only for IDUs which are inserted in a shelf. 1+0 (IFC - IF combining) is a feature for configurations that use two antennas with a single RFU-HP with two Rx ports and a single IDU. The selected signal line output is based upon the Rx signal at the RFU.
5.5.2.1
IF Combining Parameters IF Combining parameters are located at the bottom of the Radio Parameters window. (Configuration > Radio > Radio Parameters)
To perform delay calibration: Automatic - Click Calibrate. The system automatically calibrates the required delay between the signals from the main and diversity antennas.

Configuring TDM Trails
This page is used to configure the FibeAir IP-10 Cross Connect (XC) system for operation. FibeAir IP-10 Cross Connect system serves as a node in a microwave radio network. The system is designed to comply with requirements of a node in a network that aggregates several sites (downlinks) into a radio pipe (uplink). It can also be deployed in a mesh network configuration. The system consists of up to six IDUs placed together in a single chassis, for TDM traffic cross connect. The following figure displays a nodal enclosure that can contain up to six IP-10 IDUs:
Once the IDUs are linked through the common backplane (as shown in the photo above), the XC system is constructed by building trails. To configure the trails for Cross-Connect operation: 1 Start the IP-10 Web Management application. The following web page is an example of the IP-10 IDUs that appear in a nodal configuration.

Configure the Protection options. If you want a secondary trail to cover the main trail if it fails, you must choose one of the following options: Protected 1+1 - used for an SNCP protected trail, with permanent use of bandwidth in both paths. Protected ABR - protected ABR (1:1), used for an SNCP protected trail with better use of the radio capacity in the unused path. If you chose Protected 1+1 or Protected ABR, a second interface will appear in the Add New Trail window, as follows: In the Trail ID field, enter the ID of the trail. This ID is used to ensure that the flow of data over the link matches the trail designations. In the Trail Description field, enter a textual description of the trail for further identification purposes. In the ACM Priority field, select High or Low. Adaptive Coding & Modulation employs the highest possible modulation during changing environmental conditions, which may be from QPSK to 256 QAM. If you select High for priority, the system will ensure that this trail is used to pass traffic when throughput for other trails is less efficient. In the Reserved/Operational field, set the trail to Operational to enable its operation. If you want to define the trail, but keep it inactive for the time being, select Reserved.
5.6.1.1
TDM Trails Configuration Notes For the trail to function properly, it must be configured accordingly on both sides of the link. If a unit (IDU) is disconnected from the nodal enclosure and ceases to function as part of the shelf configuration, the removal will be acknowledged as an alarm. The IDU can then function as a stand-alone unit, using a "default" E1/T1 configuration. You can configure E1/T1 ports in the E1/T1 Ports page:

5.6.1.3
Cross Connection at the KLM Level Cross connection at the KLM level operates the same way as that for E1s. When a trail is defined, you can choose one of the interfaces to be an STM-1 VC-12. Note that in the CLI (Command Line Interface), this is done by setting the interface type to STM1 instead of Line. For example, for a trail between VC#1 in the radio and VC-12 #1 in the STM-1 interface of slot number one, you would use the following command:
add-trail id1 desc1 high operational unprotected 1 stm1 1 1 radio 1
As with other interface types, the number after the interface type represents the interface number. For STM-1, this means which VC-12 to use. The KLM slot to be used corresponds to the VC number chosen, as specified in the ITU-T G.707 clause 7.3 standard.
