9145E NID Software User’s Manual Diagnostics
Network Performance
96
• Active The Network port is receiving LACP packets with Synchronization = 1 AND Col-
lecting = 1 AND Distributing = 1.
• Standby One of the three actor state bits is 0 on the received LACP packets on the Net-
work Port.
• No LACP This is the default value for this variable. If one link goes down, the LAG state
will be set to No LACP, because LACP packets are no longer going across the NID.
No LACP packets are detected on the Network Port during (LACP Timeout * 3) +1 from
the last received packet. This may be the case when the LAG is not yet turned on or when
there is a mis-configuration in the LAG where both side are set in passive mode or when
the port on the Alcatel is in standby mode and lacp-xmit-stdby is set to No.
Blocking State can have the following values:
Normal: Normal state where traffic is flowing through the NID.
Blocked: LACP misconfiguration was detected and customer traffic is being blocked by
this NID
MPP Link UTP displays the status of the MPP Link. The link is fixed at 1000FD. Values: Up,
Down.
Protocol State is the status of the PLCP protocol that is running over the MPP port. This PLPM
Partner should always be Online unless the MPP port state is Down, the attached unit is not
operational (in reset or lost), or the PLPM Software Version is not identical between units. Values:
Send Waiting/RCV Waiting, Send Waiting/ RCV Listening, Send Waiting/ RCV Connected.
Default: none.
Last Test Completed shows the last completed test reported by the PLCP protocol in the Active
Master. Values: IP Address/VLAN of last test. Default: 0.0.0.0/0
PM/SAM State displays the PM/SAM admin enabled/disabled state as configured using the PM
and SAM Scheduler options. It is shown here for convenience. Values: Enabled/Disabled.
4.6.15.5 Configuring PLMP
PLPM should only be enabled in a LAG (protected link) environment. PLPM supports IEEE
802.3-2005 Clause 43 Link Aggregation as the link protection mechanism.
PLPM can accommodate LAGs with at most two links. This implies that, at most, two 9145Es
can be used as PLPM partners. All the links in the LAG must be configured to a link speed of
1000 Mb/s, and each Service Provider or Operator switch must support IEEE 802.3-2005 Clause
37.2.1.5 Remote Fault.
The PLPM NID partners must be of type 9145E-101-X-X or 9145E-102-X-X so that they are high-
end NIDs equipped with a UTP Multi-Purpose Port (MPP). The MPPs of the PLPM NID partners
must be directly connected with a cable. This implementation does not support the MPPs
connected through a bridged network. The cable used to connect the MPPs must not exceed a
length of 100 meters.
When PLPM is enabled:
• OAM loopbacks and/or Canoga Perkins loopbacks are terminated if they are running, and
new loopbacks cannot be initiated. PLPM does not support loopback over a LAG at this
time.
