NG WDM uses the L0+L1+L2 three-layer architecture. The L0 optical layer

Hu

supports wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing and DWDM optical signal

n
adding/dropping. The L1 electrical layer supports cross-connection of ODUk/VC
o
ti
services. The L2 layer implements Ethernet/MPLS-TP switching.

i ca
Through the backplane bus, the system control board controls other boards. It
if

t
provides functions such as inter-board communication, service grooming between
r
e
boards, and power supply. The backplane bus includes: Control and
C
communication bus, electrical cross-connect bus, clock bus, etc.
&

The functions of the modules in the figure are as follows:
i

n
ai
 Optical-layer boards are used to process optical-layer services and

T r implements optical-layer grooming based on the λ level.

e i Electrical-layer boards are used to process electrical-layer signals and


w

a perform optical-to-electrical conversion for signals. Grooming granularities at

Hu different levels can flexibly schedule electrical-layer signals through the


centralized cross-connect unit.

 The system control and communication board is the control center of the
equipment. It works with the network management system to manage the
boards of the equipment and realize the communication between the
equipment.

 The auxiliary interface unit provides input and output ports for clock/time
signals, alarm output and cascading ports, and alarm input/output ports.

An OTU (Optical Transponder Unit) board converts client-side services into

Hu

standard optical signals after performing mapping, convergence, and other

n
procedures. The board also performs the reverse process.
o

ati
Huawei OTN product series support the use of separate tributary and line boards.

i c
Tributary and line boards work with cross-connect boards. A tributary board plus a

t if
line board together performs the functions of an OTU board. Different from an
r
e
OTU board, the tributary and line boards achieve more flexible and fine-grained
C
grooming of electrical services and offers a higher bandwidth utilization by
&
ng
working with a cross-connect board.

ni
Optical multiplexer boards multiplex multiple optical signals into one ITU-T G.694-
ai

r
compliant optical signal. Optical demultiplexer boards demultiplex one multiplexed
T
e i
optical signal into individual ITU-T G.694-compliant optical signals.

wOptical amplifier boards are used to compensate for power loss caused by long
a haul transmission in fiber communication systems. They are classified into erbium-

H u
doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) boards and Raman boards.

 OSC boards transmit optical supervisory information between two NEs. OSC
boards provide high reliability of network monitoring because OSC boards
transmit an OSC signal using a wavelength different service wavelengths.

The ASON is a new generation of the optical transmission network. The ASON

Hu

software provided by Huawei can be applied to NG WDM equipment to support

n
the evolution from a traditional network to an ASON network. Such evolution
o
ti
complies with the ITU and IETF ASON/GMPLS-related standards. ASON technology

ca
involves signaling switching and a control plane to enhance its network connection
i
rt if
management and recovery capability. ASON technology provides wavelength-level

C e
ASON services at the optical layer and ODUk level ASON services at the electrical
layer. It also supports end-to-end service configuration and SLA.
&
ng
 With ROADM technology, the NG WDM supports flexible optical-layer grooming
i
in one to nine degrees. The ROADM solution realizes reconfiguration of
n
ai
wavelengths by blocking or cross-connecting of wavelengths. This ensures that the
r
T
static distribution of the wavelength resource is flexible and dynamic. ROADM with
i
e
U2000 can remotely and dynamically adjust the status of wavelength

a w adding/dropping and passing through for a maximum of 80 wavelengths, and

Hu support 1-degree to 9-degree optical-layer grooming.

 LPT function applies to scenarios in which WDM equipment receives and transmits
Ethernet services. With the LPT function, lasers of WDM equipment can be
alternately turned on and off. The working status of the lasers enables client
equipment to know the link status. When knowing the link is in an abnormal state,
the client equipment will choose the working or protection link for communication
with the WDM equipment to protect the services transmitted between them.

A universal line board supports hybrid transmission of OTN, SDH and packet

services. Compared to an OTN line board, a universal line board additionally

supports packet services and SDH services. In other words, a universal line board

grooms a wider range of electrical signals and offers higher bandwidth utilization.

ic a
A universal line board receives and processes ODUk signals, VC-4 signals, or

packets signals from the cross-connect board. When receiving packets signalsor

each wavelength. This greatly improves the flexibility of service grooming and
bandwidth utilization.

 The OptiX OSN 8800 can form an end-to-end OTN network with the OptiX OSN
9800 and OptiX OSN 1800. The typical application of the OptiX OSN 8800 is to

The optical power budget is used to determine the regeneration section distance.

Hu

The process of optical power budget is actually the process of configuring

n
amplifiers. The optical power at the transmit end meets the incident optical power
o
ti
requirement, and the optical power at the receive end meets the working range of

c a
the receiver. In a DWDM system, power loss introduced by line fibers, optical
i
rt if
modules, and optical components needs to be compensated by using optical

Ce
amplifiers (EDFA or Raman amplifiers). When designing a network, you need to
calculate the fiber loss of the entire link and consider the system margin (3 dB
&
margin is considered when there is no special requirement for the project). Then,

i ng
you need to configure the amplifier first and then adjust the attenuation according
n
ai
to the configuration of the dispersion compensation module.

T r
The fiber attenuation coefficient is subject to the actual test value in the project.
i

ethe attenuation coefficient is accurate, the line power redundancy is generally 3


wIf

a dB. In this case, the insertion loss of the FIU board is included.
H u
 During network design, if the actual attenuation value of each optical cable line is
known, add the system engineering margin based on the actual test value.
Generally, the actual attenuation value is 3 dB. If the OSC mode is used, the extra
power loss of the FIU needs to be considered. Generally, the optical power is 1 dB
(FIU loss at both ends). If only the ESC board is used, the power budget of FIU
does not need to be considered.

In the case of no dispersion compensation, each regeneration section should be

o

ati
Dispersion limited distance (km) = Dispersion tolerance (ps/nm) / Dispersion

ic
coefficient (ps/nm.km). The dispersion tolerance depends on the laser (light

source). Different rates and different quality of light sources have different
e
dispersion tolerance values. The dispersion coefficient depends on the fiber.
C

Currently, two types of DCM modules are used on the live network: G.652 (SMF)

The Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) is the most important indicator for

measuring the performance of a DWDM system. The optical signal-to-noise ratio

n
refers to a ratio of a signal optical power to a noise optical power in a transmission
o

link.

ic a
OSNR (dB) =10 x lg (P signal (mW) /P noise (mW)) =P signal (dBm) -P noise (dBm)
if

rt
When the OSNR decreases to a certain extent, the performance of the system is
e

C
seriously endangered. For a DWDM system with multiple cascaded line optical

&
amplifiers, when optical amplifiers are used to compensate for the line loss, the

ng
radiation noise of the amplifier is introduced. The optical power of the noise is

n i
mainly caused by the accumulated spontaneous emission noise of the amplifier. As

rai
a result, the optical signal-to-noise ratio decreases, the transmission performance

 The boards that support the grooming of electrical cross-connections have both
external ports and internal ports. These ports are classified into the following types:
 TX/RX port: client-side optical port of the board that receives and transmits
signals.
 IP port: internal port that corresponds to the RX/TX port. It can be regarded
as a RX/TX port.
 AP port: convergence port that represents the internal port of the L2 module.
In this case, the corresponding IP port is an external port.

The WDM equipment provides two types of optical line protection: 1+1 and 1:1.

The 1+1 optical line protection is implemented by the dual fed and selective

The 1:1 optical line protection

The OLSP/OLSPA/OLSPB

only at sites A and D, and OLP boards are not used on sites B and C. However,
there are two problems: 1. B and C need to use two sets of OLA. 2. This

The switching modes include revertive and non-revertive. Revertive indicates that

services are automatically switched back to the working channel after the working

o

default, the optical line protection is non-revertive.
a
ic
In the case of the 1+1 optical line protection, the switching mode can be set to

single-ended switching or dual-ended switching. When the switching mode is set
to single-ended switching, the APS protocol is not required. And when the
Ce
switching mode is set to dual-ended switching, the APS protocol is required.

For 1+1 single-ended switching, both POWER_DIFF_OVER and MUT_LOS are SF

The difference threshold of the working and protection channels can be set.

subrack power-off and communication failure between subracks. The former one

 For a WDM product, the detection and transmission of alarms vary according
to the type of the signals that are accessed into the OTU. The OTU is classified
into the following types:
o n
 Non-convergent OTU:
ati
ic

if
It refers to an OTU that converts one channel of client service signals.
rt
 Convergent OTU:
C e

&
It refers to an OTU that converges and converts multiple channels of

g
client service signals.
n
ni

ai
Regenerating OTU:

T r It refers to an OTU that regenerates the corresponding service

ei

signals at an intermediate station.

a w According to the type of the OTU and the type of the signals accessed by the

Hu

OTU, there are 7 situations defined.

 According to the type of the accessed service, this course focuses on the alarm
detection and transmission mechanism of the OTU board for processing SDH
standard signals and OTN standard signals.

The following describes the performance parameters that can be set in Advanced

parameter mode modes:

n
Pulse width: width of probe optical pulses. When the pulse width increases,
o
ti

the light emitting time increases and consequently a larger energy is

ic a
obtained. This means that a larger dynamic range can be acquired but also
if
rt
larger dead zones will result.


C e
Measurement Range: maximum distance for the line fiber quality monitoring

&
function to sample data. The distance determines the sampling resolution.
NOTE: The g total fiber loss will affect the detection distance and the dynamic
range iisnfixed for the same detection mode. Therefore, a larger total fiber loss
a in a smaller detection distance. To maximize the detection capability,
T r
indicates

e i the value of Measurement Range is generally greater than the actual

a w detection capability. When the fault point is beyond the permitted distance

Hu
range of a detection mode and cannot be located, select a detection mode
that provides a larger pulse width to locate the fault point.

 Detection time: Measurement is performed multiple times within the


detection time. The average value is obtained based on the measurement
results to improve the measurement precision. The actual duration from the
time when a detection event starts to the time when the detection results are
returned will be longer than the Detection time.

 The pulse width of emitted optical pulses varies according to monitoring modes,
and affects the detection distance and measurement precision. A greater pulse
width provides a larger dynamic range and longer detection distance but poorer
measurement precision.

 Data Link Layer: The main task is to control the physical layer, detect and
correct the errors that may occur, enable the network layer to display an
error-free line, and perform traffic control (optional). Traffic control can be
implemented at the data link layer or at the transport layer. The data link
layer is related to the physical address, network topology, cable planning,
error check, and traffic control. The main devices at the data link layer are

Ce
The network layer checks the network topology to determine the optimal route for
transmitting packets and forward data. The key problem is how to select a route
&

from the source to the destination. The main protocols at the network layer
i
include Internet protocol (IP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet
n

Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and
r
T
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP).
i
e basic function of the transport layer is to provide end-to-end communication
wThe

a between two hosts. The transport layer receives data from the application layer
u
H and divides the data into smaller units when necessary, and transmits them to the
network layer and ensures that the information of each segment is correct. The
main protocols at the transport layer include Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) and
User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

 The application layer processes specific application details. The application layer
displays the received information, sends the user data to the lower layer, and
provides network interfaces for the application software. The application layer
contains a large number of common applications, such as Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP), remote login (Telnet), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Trivial File

82882484, the 010 field indicates the area code of Beijing, and the 82882484 field
indicates a phone number in Beijing. The IP addresses are the same. The previous
network part represents a network segment, and the subsequent host part
represents a device on the network segment.

 IP addresses are designed in a hierarchical manner. In this way, each layer 3


network device does not need to store the IP address of each host, but stores the
network address of each network segment (the network address represents all
hosts in the network segment), the routing table entries are greatly reduced, and

Class A, class B, and class C addresses are often used. The IP address is allocated

Hu

by the International Network Information Center (InterNIC) according to the size

n
of the company. In the past, class-A addresses are reserved for government
o
ti
agencies, class B addresses are allocated to medium-sized companies, and class C

c a
addresses are allocated to small companies. However, with the rapid development
i
rt if
of the Internet and the waste of IP addresses, IP address resources are very tight.


Ce
The private IP address is reserved by the InterNIC and is freely controlled by each
enterprise intranet. Using private IP addresses cannot access the Internet directly
&
ng
because the private IP address cannot be used on the public network, and no
i
route to the private IP address is available on the public network. As a result,
n
ai
address conflict occurs. When accessing the Internet, NAT technology are used to
r
T
translate private IP addresses into public IP addresses that can be identified by the
i

Internet.

a w
Hu
 NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF). It allows an organization with an IP address far
less than its internal network node to enter the Internet. The network address
translation technology converts a private IP address (such as an address in a
192.168.0.0 range) of a router, a firewall, or a personal computer on an
internal private network into one or more public IP addresses of the Internet.
It converts the packet header into a new address and monitors them through
its internal platform. When the information packet is fed back from the
Internet, the network address translation uses these platforms to reverse the
IP address of the user host.

The IP address is divided into the network part and the host part. How to identify

Hu

these two parts?

o n
To identify the network part and host part of an IP address, you need to combine

ti
the IP address with the address mask. The mask is the same as the IP address with
a
ic
32 bits length. The masks corresponding to the IP address network part are all "1"

t if
and the masks corresponding to the IP address host part are all "0". By default, the
r
e
subnet mask of class A network is 255.0.0.0, the subnet mask of class B network is
C
255.255.0.0, and the subnet mask of class C network is 255.255.255.0.
&
ng
With the address mask, the method of identifying the IP address is as follows:
i

n
ai
 Example: 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 or 192.168.1.1/24 (number of consecutive 1s

According to the preceding description, we know IP address is divided into two

Hu

parts. The network part is used to uniquely identify a data link, and the host part is

n
used to identify different hosts connected to the same data link. To construct a
o
ti
network, you must plan a network address for each link on the network. If classes

c a
A, B, and C are assigned to different links, about 17, 000, 000 links can be
i
r t if
identified by all three types of addresses. That is, there are about 224 hosts with

Ce
class A addresses connected to one link, 216 for class B addresses, and 28 for class
C addresses. It is meaningless to allocate IP addresses in this mode.
&
ng
 To use IP addresses more efficiently, a large class A, B, or C addresses can be
i
divided into smaller subnets, that is, some host bits are used as network bits. After
n
ai
a subnet is divided, an IP address can be divided into three parts: Network part,
r
T
subnet part, and host part. The masks of the network part and subnet part are all
i
e “1”. With the subnet, the use of network addresses is more effective. Externally,

a w it is still a network. Internally, it is divided into different subnets.


u
H For example: If a class C address 192.168.1.17 is in the default state (no subnet

division), that is, a natural mask is used, the network part is 192.168.1.0/24 and can
be allocated to only one data link. In the case of subnet division, for example, the
first four bits of the host part are used as subnet part. In this way, for the address:
The network bit is 24 bits, the subnet bit is 4 bits, and the host bit is 4 bits. A class
C network segment is divided into 24=16 subnets to identify 16 data links. A
maximum of 24-2=14 hosts can be connected to each data link. 192.168.1.17/28
belongs to subnet 192.168.1.16/28.

For a point-to-point link, two IP addresses can meet the requirements. A 30-bit

Hu

mask is used. That is: 255.255.255.252.

o n
For a broadcast link, the mask length depends on the number of hosts on the

ti
broadcast network. If there are 60 hosts on the network and the mask can be 26
a
ic
bits, the number of host addresses is 232-26=26=64﹥60. If there are 120 hosts on

connection-oriented and supports Layer 2 networks such as ATM and Ethernet.
The forwarding plane adds and deletes labels for IP packets, and forwards received
packets based on the label forwarding table.
 In the packet transport field, the MPLS technology is mainly used to construct
tunnels to carry various types of services transmitted by PWE3 (for example, TDM,
ATM, and Ethernet), to implement end-to-end transmission of services on packet
networks. Therefore, MPLS is not a service or an application. It is actually a tunnel
technology. This technology not only supports multiple upper-layer protocols and

 The link layer detection mode of tunnel APS is implemented through MPLS-TP
OAM. Before creating APS protection, you need to enable MPLS-TP OAM for the
tunnel. The packet detection period of MPLS-TP OAM is usually set to 3.3 ms. The
APS protocol can be enabled only after the tunnel APS protection group is
configured at both ends. Otherwise, the MPLS_TUNNEL_OAMFAIL alarm is
generated.

 Tunnel APS cannot be used with PW APS at the same time. That is, if Tunnel APS is
configured for the tunnel to which a PW belongs, PW APS cannot be configured
for the PW. If PW APS is configured for a PW, Tunnel APS cannot be configured for
the tunnel to which the PW belongs.

The evolution of the 400G/1T solution is divided into three phases. The first phase

second phase, the Flexible DWDM system uses the flex grid technology to support

As the MSTP products enter the mature stage, some early boards (old boards for

short) are out of production due to manufacture discontinuation of key

n
components or marketing strategies. However, these old boards have some
o

inventory on the live network, the spare parts of these boards must be provided

c a
for the customer. In this regard, the newly developed boards of the MSTP product
i

must be able to work with the NE of the old version to function as the spare part

Ce
of the old board. In addition, the new board can work with the NE of the new
version to implement the new functions. The board version replacement function

the old and new boards, and reduces the O&M cost.

 If the number of packets sent by the data analyzer is less than the
number of received frames, frame loss occurs on the device. For MSTP,
the number of virtual paths bound to the SDH path may not be sufficient
to carry the services accessed by the port, that is, the bandwidth is
insufficient. for example: The access rate of the physical FE port on the
Ethernet board is the line rate, that is, 100Mbit/s. Actually, the virtual path
bound to the SDH side is at the VC-12 level and the number is 10.
Therefore, the Ethernet board cannot bear all the data accessed from the
external port, frame loss occurs.

 Maximum rate of the media: Indicates the maximum rate supported by


the device when the IFG is 12 Bytes (minimum inter-frame gap). The unit
is bit/s, that is, the line rate. For example: The line rate of the FE interface
is 100Mbit/s. The minimum inter-frame gap is a limit. It indicates that the
device is in full load state and the interval between frames reaches the
minimum. In this case, the line rate can be reached.

 Maximum frame rate: Indicates the fixed frame rate supported by the
physical port of the device at the line rate. The unit is frame/s.

Based on the line rate, frame length, and minimum inter-frame gap (IFG),

Hu
 When analyzing alarms, analyze the alarms of higher severity, such as
critical alarms and major alarms. Then, analyze low-level alarms, such as
minor alarms and warning alarms. This principle can be used together
with the “high-speed part first and then the low-speed part”. During
troubleshooting, handle the high-level alarms of the line first, then the
low-level alarms of the line, and then check whether alarms are
reported on the tributary, if the alarm persists, analyze the tributary
alarms according to this principle.

series equipment. The most significant feature of this method is that there is no

maintenance personnel are expected to be familiar with this method. However, the

c a
loopback method may cause temporary interruption of normal services in the

loopback channel. This is the biggest disadvantage of this method. Therefore, you

Ce
can use the loopback method to rectify the fault only when a major fault, such as
service interruption occurs.
&
ng
 Loopback can be classified into the following types:

n i
According to the signal flow direction, there are two types of loopback:
ai

T r Inloop and outloop. When the inloop is performed on the local NE, the

e i signals are transmitted to the NE. When the outloop is performed, the signals

a w are transmitted from the local NE to the external NE. It can be said that the

Hu
inloop is oriented to the local NE, while the outloop is oriented to the
opposite end. For example, to test whether the interface module and external
cable of the board are normal, you need to set outloop. To test whether the
cross-connect unit and service path of the equipment are normal, you need
to set the inloop.

Hu

the APS protocol is not enabled for some NEs, enable the APS protocol first. If all

The service association can be used to associate the same service accessed from
