world apply DST in summer, but vary in details. Thus, you need to consider detailed DST
rules locally before configuration.

Step Configuration Description


1 Raisecom# clock summer-time enable Enable DST.
By default, DST is disabled.
2 Raisecom# clock summer-time recurring start- Configuring the period of DST.
week { sun | mon | tue | wed | thu | fri |
sat } start-month start-hour start-minute end-
By default, DST is set forward 60
week { sun | mon | tue | wed | thu | fri | minutes.
sat } end-month end-hour end-minute offset-mm

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 12


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 1 Basic configurations

For example, if DST starts from 02:00 am second Monday of April to 02:00 am
second Monday of September, the clock is moved forward 60 minutes. Thus, the
period between 02:00 and 03:00 second Monday of April is skipped. Configuring time
during this period will fail.
DST in the Southern Hemisphere is opposite to that in the Northern Hemisphere. It is
from September this year to April next year. If the starting month is later than the
ending month, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE judges that it is located in the Southern
Hemisphere.

 Introduction
 Preparing for configurations
 Configuring basic functions of SNMP
 Configuring static ARP
 Checking configurations
 Maintenance

3.1 Introduction
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is designed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) to resolve problems in managing network devices connected to the Internet.
Through SNMP, a network management system can manage all network devices that support
SNMP, including monitoring network status, modifying configurations of a network device,
and receiving network alarms. SNMP is the most widely used network management protocol
in TCP/IP networks.
SNMP is separated into two parts: Agent and Network Management System (NMS). In the
SNMP network, the Agent is a managed device while the NMS is a manager. The Agent and
NMS communicate through SNMP packets transmitted through UDP.

3.2 Preparing for configurations

This chapter describes Ethernet access configurations of the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.


 Introduction
 Configuring the interface
 Configuring VLAN
 Configuring QoS
 Configuring rate limiting
 Configuring storm control
 Maintenance
 Configuration example

4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 Ethernet interface

Duplex modes
The Ethernet interface can work in the following two duplex modes:
 In half duplex mode, an interface can receive or send packets at a time.
 In full duplex mode, an interface can both receive and send packets concurrently.
Duplex mode auto-negotiation refers that the duplex mode is decided based on the automatic
negotiation between the local interface and peer interface.

Interface rate
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE provides four 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces. The rate varies
from 10 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s to 1000 Mbit/s, which can be configured or automatically
negotiated.
Interface rate auto-negotiation refers that the interface rate is automatically negotiated by the
local and peer interfaces.

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 28


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 4 Configuring Ethernet access

Flow control
When the received flow on the interface exceeds the processing and forwarding capability of
the device, the line will be congested. In order to decrease the packet loss rate due to the
buffer overflow, the upstream device is notified of slowing down or stopping sending data to
relieve the congestion.
Flow control can be divided into two types: back pressure flow adopted by the half duplex
Ethernet interface and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3x
flow control adopted by the full duplex Ethernet interface.

4.1.2 Switching interface


The switching interface is a logical interface and does not exist physically. Through the
switching interface, you can achieve data switching. The switching interface is corresponding
to the physical interface. The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE provides 5 switching interfaces. The
corresponding relationship between the switching interface and the physical interface is as
below:
 Switching interfaces 1–4: GE interfaces 1–4
 Switching interface 5: optical interface 1

4.1.3 VLAN
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a Layer 2 isolation technology that is used to partition
devices in a LAN logically instead of physically to a network segment. Therefore, multiple
distinct virtual broadcast domains are created.

VLAN entries
For the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE, each VLAN entry is corresponding to one VLAN ID. You can
configure the status and member interfaces of multiple VLAN entries at the same time.
In different network management modes, the number of the VLAN entries is different:
 In mode 1: the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE can be managed by the OPCOM3500E and
iTN2100 and supports 64 VLAN entries.
 In mode 2: the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE can be managed by the RC002 and supports 16
VLAN entries.
You can use the bit 4 of SW1 to configure the network management modes.
 Mode 1: bit 4 is configured to OFF.
 Mode 2: bit 4 is configured to ON.

VLAN modes
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports 4 working modes:
 novlan: VLAN is not configured, that is, the device works in full switching mode.
 portvlan: partition VLAN based on the interface, that is, different interfaces are isolated
from each other.
 tagvlan: partition VLAN based on the VLAN ID, that is, the device works in signal Tag
mode.

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 29


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 4 Configuring Ethernet access

 QinQ: double Tag mode

QinQ
QinQ encapsulates the VLAN Tag of users' private network into the VLAN Tag of the public
network and enables the packet to transmit through the public network of the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) carrying double VLAN tags. In the public network, the packet is transmitted
according to the outer VLAN Tag (public VLAN Tag) and the VLAN Tag of users' private
network is shielded.
QinQ effectively relieve the shortage of VLAN ID in the public network. At the same time,
you can plan the VLAN ID of their private network without conflicting with the VLAN ID of
the public network.

TPID
Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) is a filed in the VLAN Tag. IEEE 802.1Q protocol defines the
value of this field as 0x8100.
Different manufactures may set different values to the TPID of the outer Tag of the QinQ
packet. To use devices provided by different manufactures compatibly, you can configure the
TPID of the outer Tag.

4.1.4 QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) can ensure you to obtain expected service levels in the following
aspects in the transmission: packet loss ratio, time delay, jittering, and bandwidth, etc.

Priority trust
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports the following three priority trust modes:
 Interface-based: partition packets according to the default CoS priority and interfaces are
isolated from each other.
 CoS-based: trust the CoS priority of the VLAN packet header and partition packets
according to the CoS priority of the ingress packet Tag. For the Untagged packet, use the
default CoS priority of the interface.
 DSCP-based: trust the DSCP priority of the IP packet.

Queue mapping
Queue mapping refers to mapping packets of the same kind to the same interface queue.
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports mapping CoS priority, DSCP priority, and interface
default priority to the queue. Moreover, it supports 4 interface queues.

Queue scheduling
Queue scheduling refers to extracting packet from the interface queue for transmission
according to specified policies.
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports the following four QoS queue scheduling modes:

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 30


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 4 Configuring Ethernet access

 Strict Priority (SP): the device strictly schedules packets in a descending order of priority.
Packets with lower priority cannot be scheduled until packets with higher priority are
scheduled.
 Weight Round Robin (WRR): on the basis of scheduling packets in a polling manner
according to the priority, the device schedules packets according to the weight of the
queue. The queue with a higher priority obtains more resources and the queue with a
lower priority obtains fewer resources to avoid the situation that the packet with a lower
priority will not be scheduled for a long time in the fixed priority scheduling.

4.1.5 Storm control


When the interface receives a great deal of broadcast, unknown multicast, and unknown
unicast packets, a broadcast storm will be generated, which may lead to network congestion.
Storm control prevents the generation of broadcast storm through limiting the rate of the
broadcast packets on the interface.

4.2 Configuring the interface


4.2.1 Preparing for configurations

5 Configuring E1 access

This chapter describes E1 access configurations of the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.


 Introduction
 Configuring the interface
 Configuring loopback
 Maintenance

5.1 Introduction
E1
E1 is one of the two hierarchies of the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH). It includes
features as below:
 The rate of E1 link is 2.048 Mbit/s and E1 uses Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
 The length of E1 frame is 256 bits. It consists of 32 timeslots and each timeslot consists
of 8 bits.
 8K E1 frames are transmitted through the interface per second, so the interface rate is
2048 Kbit/s (8 K/s × 256 bit). Each timeslot consists of 8 bits in the E1 frame, so the rate
of each timeslot is 64 Kbit/s (8 K/s × 8 bit) and rate of each E1 frame is 32 × 64 Kbit/s.

Structure of E1 frame
E1 frame is in three modes: unframed, framed and multiframed.
 In an unframed E1, all 32 timeslots are used to transmit valid data.
 In a framed E1, TS0 transmits Frame Alignment Signal (FAS), CRC-4, and peer alarm
indication; other 31 timeslots transmit valid data.
 In a multiframed E1, TS0 transmits overhead; TS16 transmits Channel Associated
Signaling (CAS), multi-FAS, and multiframe peer alarm indication; those 30 timeslots
TS1–TS15 and TS17–TS31 transmit voice or data.
In an E1 channel, a timeslot consists of 8 bits while 32 timeslots compose a frame (F). A
multiframed (MF) consists of 16 frames.

RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 5 Configuring E1 access

The E1 interface of the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE has two modes: balanced and unbalanced.
Moreover, it supports transparent transmission, that is, unframed mode.

E1 loopback
Loopback detection is a frequently-used method to test and analyse interface or link problems.
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports local internal loopback, external loopback, bidirectional
loopback, and remote internal loopback at the E1 side.
 Local internal loopback: signals sent by the Tx of an interface are received by the Rx of
the same interface. You can know the working status of the interface by checking the
sending and receiving of data.
 Local external loopback: the interface sends signals sent by the peer to the Rx of the peer
to form a detection loop. It is mainly used for checking the line status.
 Local bidirectional loopback: local internal loopback and local external loopback is
enabled at the same time.
 Remote internal loopback: the interface sends signals to the peer, and then the peer sends
the received signals to the local, thus forming a detection loop.
Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 show local bidirectional loopback and remote internal loopback.

6 Alarm management

This chapter describes alarm management of the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.


 Introduction
 Configuring alarm inhibition
 Configuring alarm delay
 Configuring alarm saving
 Configuring alarm auto-report
 Configuring alarm inverse reporting
 Configuring alarm monitoring
 Configuring alarm masking
 Checking configurations
 Maintenance

6.1 Introduction
Alarm means when a fault is generated on the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE or some working
condition changes, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE will generate alarm information according to
different faults.
Alarm information is used to report some urgent and important events and must be sent to the
network administrator promptly, which provides strong support for monitoring device
operation and diagnosing faults.
Alarm information is stored in the alarm buffer. Meanwhile, if a NMS is established, the
alarm information will be sent to NMS through SNMP. The information sent to the NMS is
called Trap information.

Classification of alarm information


There are three types of alarm information according to properties of an alarm:
 Fault alarm: alarms for some hardware fault or some abnormal important functions, such
as port Down alarm
 Recovery alarm: alarms that are generated when device failure or abnormal function
returns to normal, such as port Up alarm

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 48


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 6 Alarm management

 Event alarm: prompted alarms or alarms that are generated because of failure in relating
the fault to the recovery, such as alarms generated by failing to Ping
Alarms can be divided into four types by function:
 Service quality alarm: alarms caused by service quality degradation, including
congestion, performance degradation, high resource utilization rate, and the bandwidth
reducing
 Processing error alarm: alarms caused by software or processing errors, including
software errors, memory overflow, version mismatching, and the abnormal program
aborts
 Environmental alarm: alarms caused by equipment location-related problems, including
the environment temperature, humidity, ventilation and other abnormal working
conditions
 Device alarm: alarms caused by failure of physical resources, including power, fan,
processor, clock, input/output ports and other hardware

Alarm information output


There are three alarm information output modes:
 Alarm buffer: alarm information is recorded in tabular form, including the current alarm
table and history alarm table.
– Current alarm table, recording alarm information which is not cleared, acknowledged
or restored.
– History alarm table, consisting of acknowledged and restored alarm information,
recording the cleared, auto-restored or manually acknowledged alarm information.
 Trap information: alarm information sent to NMS when the NMS is configured.
Alarms will be broadcasted according to various terminals configured by the RCMS2903-
4E1-4GE, including CLI terminal and NMS.

Related concepts
Related concepts about alarm management are displayed as follows:
 Alarm inhibition
When alarm inhibition is enabled, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE records root alarms only without
affiliated alarms. For example, alarm A absolutely generates alarm B; when alarm inhibition
is enabled, alarm B will be inhibited, not sent to the alarm buffer, and not logged.
When alarm inhibition is enabled, the number of alarms to be reported is reduced sharply.
When alarm inhibition is disabled, the root alarms and their affiliated alarms are recorded on
the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.
 Alarm auto-report
Auto-report refers that an alarm is reported to NMS automatically with its generation and you
do not need to initiate inquiries or synchronization.
You can set auto-report function to some alarm, some alarm source, or the specified alarm
from specified alarm source.

Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. 49


Raisecom
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 6 Alarm management

The alarm source refers to an entity that generates related alarms, such as ports,
devices, or cards.
 Alarm monitoring
Alarm monitoring is used to process alarms generated by modules:
− When alarm monitoring is enabled, the alarm module will receive alarms generated
by modules, and process them according to the configurations of the alarm module,
such as recording alarm in alarm buffer, or recording system logs, etc;
− When alarm monitoring is disabled, the alarm module will discard alarms generated
by modules without follow-up treatment. In addition, alarms will not be recorded on
the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.
You can perform the alarm monitoring function on some alarm, alarm source or specified
alarm on from specified alarm source.
 Alarm inverse reporting
Alarm inverse reporting refers that alarms reported by the device are inverse to the actual
situation. No alarms are reported when the interface is out of use; related alarms are reported
when the interface is in use. The alarm reports are cleared if the interface returns to the out-of
use status.
The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE supports interface-based alarm inverse reporting only. You can set
the alarm inverse reporting in three modes:
− Non-inverse reporting
In this mode, alarms are reported properly.
− Manual recovery reporting
In this mode, the alarms to be reported on an interface are inverse to the actual situation. For
example, recovery alarms are reported when there are actually alarms; alarms are reported
when there are no alarms.
− Automatical recovery reporting
When changing the inverse reporting to this mode, you will fail when there are no inverse
alarms and succeed when there are inverse alarms. In this mode, the alarms to be reported on
an interface are inverse to the actual situation. After alarms are eliminated, the mode changes
to the non-inverse reporting mode, and then alarms are reported normally before the mode
changes again.
 Alarm delay
Alarm delay refers that the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE will record alarms and report them to NMS
after a delay but not immediately when alarms are generated. Delays for recording and
reporting alarms are identical.
By default, the delay is 5s for both delayed recording and delayed reporting.
 Alarm saving
Alarm saving refers to how to record new alarms when the alarm buffer is full. There are two
types:
– Stop: in this mode, new alarms are discarded without being recorded.

RCMS2903-4E1-4GE (A)Configuration Guide 6 Alarm management

– Loop: in this mode, new alarms overwrite existing alarms in a loop.


The RCMS2903-4E1-4GE can record up to 2000 alarms in the alarm table and up to 500
alarms in the historical alarm table. When the table is full of alarms, alarms are processed as
configured.
 Clearing alarms
Clear the current alarm, which means deleting current alarms from the current alarm table.
The cleared alarms will be saved to the history alarm table.
 Checking alarms
The administrator can check alarms and monitor alarm information directly on the
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE. If the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE is configured with NMS, the
administrator can monitor alarms on the NMS.

6.2 Configuring alarm inhibition


When alarm inhibition is enabled, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE records root alarms only without
affiliated alarms. For example, alarm A absolutely generates alarm B; when alarm inhibition
is enabled, alarm B will be inhibited, not sent to the alarm buffer, and not logged.
When alarm inhibition is enabled, the number of alarms to be reported is reduced sharply.
When alarm inhibition is disabled, the root alarms and their affiliated alarms are recorded on
the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.

Step Configuration Description


1 Raisecom# config Enter global configuration mode.
2 Raisecom(config# alarm Enter alarm configuration mode.
3 Raisecom(config-alarm)# alarm inhibit Enable alarm inhibition.
enable
By default, alarm inhibition is enabled on the
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.

6.3 Configuring alarm delay


Alarm delay can be divided into the following two types:
 Alarm generation delay refers to the time interval to be delayed for the generation time
of an alarm.
 Alarm clearing delay refers to the time interval to be delayed for the clearing time of an
alarm.
Step Configuration Description
1 Raisecom# config Enter global configuration mode.
2 Raisecom(config)# alarm Enter alarm configuration mode.

3 Raisecom(config)# alarm delay Enable alarm delay.
enable
By default, alarm delay is disabled.
4 Raisecom(config-alarm)# alarm Configure alarm generation delay. After alarm delay
active delay second is enabled, when an alarm still exists after the alarm
generation delay time, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE will
report this alarm.
By default, alarm generation delay time is 5 seconds.
5 Raisecom(config-alarm)# alarm Configure alarm clearing delay. After alarm delay is
clear delay second enabled, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE will check
whether the alarm has been cleared. This can avoid
mistaken reporting. If an alarm still exists within
alarm clearing delay time, the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE
will report this alarm.
By default, alarm generation delay time is 5 seconds.

6.4 Configuring alarm saving


Alarm saving refers to saving alarm data on the alarm register of a Network Element (NE). It
has two modes:
 Stop: in this mode, new alarms are discarded without being recorded.
 Loop: in this mode, new alarms overwrite existing alarms in a loop.
Step Configuration Description
1 Raisecom# config Enter global configuration mode.
2 Raisecom(config)# alarm Enter alarm configuration mode.
3 Raisecom(config-alarm)# alarm active Configure saving mode for alarms.
storage-mode { loop | stop }
By default, the saving mode for alarms is
loop.
4 Raisecom(config-alarm)# alarm auto-save Configure automatical alarm saving.
By default, automatical alarm saving is
disabled.

6.5 Configuring alarm auto-report


Alarm auto-report refers to that alarms are automatically reported to the NMS without being
queried or synchronized. Trap information is sent by the device to the NMS to report urgent
and important events (such as reboot of a managed device).
Configure the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE as below.

6.6 Configuring alarm inverse reporting


Alarm inverse reporting refers that alarms reported by the device are inverse to the actual
situation. No alarms are reported when the interface is out of use; related alarms are reported
when the interface is in use. The alarm reports are cleared if the interface returns to the out-of
use status.
Configure the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE as below.

Step Command Description


1 Raisecom# config Enter global configuration mode.
2 Raisecom(config)# alarm Enter alarm configuration mode.

6.7 Configuring alarm monitoring


Alarm monitoring is used to process alarms generated by modules:
 When alarm monitoring is enabled, the alarm module will receive alarms generated by
modules, and process them according to the configurations of the alarm module, such as
recording alarm in alarm buffer, or recording system logs, etc.
 When alarm monitoring is disabled, the alarm module will discard alarms generated by
modules without follow-up treatment. In addition, alarms will not be recorded on the
RCMS2903-4E1-4GE.
Configure the RCMS2903-4E1-4GE as below.
