The Passport 8683POS Module is a baseboard with slots for three of the following  
two optional media dependent adapters (MDAs):  
1-port OC-12c/STM-4: single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF)  
using SONET/SDH  
2-port OC-3c/STM-1: SMF or MMF using SONET/SDH  
The Passport 8683POS Module supports up to six input/output (I/O) OC-3c/  
STM-1 lines and up to three I/O OC-12 lines. You can mix these MDAs on a  
single Passport 8683POS Module. For example, you can put an OC-12 MDA into  
the first slot and OC-3 MDAs into the two remaining slots. For information on OC  
lines, PPP, and SONET, refer to Chapter 2, Using the Passport 8683POS  
Module,on page 29.  
You can put more than one Passport 8683POS Module in the Passport 8600 series  
chassis, except slots 5 and 6, which are reserved for the Passport 8690 Switch  
Fabric (SF) modules. The maximum number of modules on a chassis is four.  
One Passport 8690 SF module acts as the CPU for the chassis, and the other  
module is the standby CPU, taking over in case of failure. If a CPU failover  
occurs, all traffic on the chassis stops momentarily while the standby CPU  
reinitializes all input/output modules.

Chapter 2  
Using the Passport 8683POS Module  
A typical application consists of a single Passport 8683POS Module in an  
Passport 8600 series switch, but multiple modules are also supported. This chapter  
briefly explains how the Passport 8683POS Module operates within the Passport  
switch.  
A typical network application of the Passport 8683POS Module is a direct  
connection between one Passport 8600 series switch with a Passport 8683POS  
Module in one campus to an identical module in another Passport 8600 series  
switch at another campus connected over a SONET ring. Using this connection,  
This chapter contains the following information:  
SONET transmission,next  
Spanning tree group featureon page 33  
SONET transmission  
You can connect the Passport 8683POS Module through a Synchronous Optical  
Network (SONET) termination multiplexor to extend the range of the wide area  
network (WAN) connections. Or, you can connect the Passport 8683POS Module,  
using fiber, directly to a POS interface on another Passport routing switch or on a  
traditional router.  
The SONET frames received from the WAN contain IP packets encapsulated in  
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) that are converted by the Passport 8683POS  
Module into an Ethernet format. Similarly, the Passport 8683POS Module  
receives Ethernet frames and converts them into PPP packets for transmission  
over SONET.

30 Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module  
SONET terms and acronyms  
This section provides a brief listing of common Synchronous Optical Network  
(SONET) terms. SONET is a medium for transmitting data that uses fiber-optic  
cables.  
The following terms and acronyms are frequently used with SONET information:  
SONET: Synchronous Optical Network. SONET is a family of fiber optic  
transmission rates that provides the flexibility to transport many digital  
signals with different capacities. This ANSI standard provides for  
transmission from OC-1 to OC-48 and greater.  
SDH: Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. SDH is a standard technology for  
optical fiber-based synchronous data transmission. SDH is the international  
equivalent of SONET.  
OC-3c/STM-1: Optical Carrier-level 3 concatenation. OC-3c/STM-1 is an  
optical fiber transmission system that carries STS-3c/STM-1 frame structures  
at 155 Mb/s. Concatenation refers to the fact that there is only one logical data  
stream (rather than supporting a channelized structure).  
OC-12c/STM-4: Optical Carrier-level 12 concatenation. OC-12c/STM-4 is an  
optical fiber transmission system that carries STS-12c/STM-4 frame  
structures at 622 Mb/s. Concatenation refers to the fact that there is only one  
logical data stream (rather than supporting a channelized structure).  
POS: Packet over SONET.  
PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol. PPP encapsulates common network-layer  
protocols in specialized Network Control protocol packets, such as IP over  
PPP (IPCP) and IPX over PPP (IPXCP), and BCP. Thus, it enables sending  
multiprotocol data over point-to-point links.  
SONET/SDH transmission rates  
The following transmission rates are commonly used with SONET:  
OC-3c/STM-1: 155.52 Mb/s  
OC-12c/STM-4: 622.08 Mb/s  
The SONET specification defines optical both as:  
209564-A  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module 31  
Single-mode fiber (SMF)  
Multimode fiber (MMF).  
Note: The estimated maximum transmission distance for OC-3c SMF is  
20 kilometers (km); for OC-3c MMF is 2 km; for OC-12c SMF is 15 km;  
for OC-12c MMF is 500 m.  
Point-to-Point Protocol  
The PPP family of protocols is divided into three categories:  
Control protocols control operation and maintenance of the PPP link.  
Network protocols describe the encapsulation methods needed to move  
multiprotocol network traffic over the PPP interface.  
Network control protocols are used to configure, manage, and control the  
operation of the network protocols. The Passport 8683POS Module uses the  
Link Control Protocol (LCP) and the Link Quality Report to monitor the link.  
PPP goes through the following basic initialization phases when bringing up links:  
Link establishment  
Network layer protocol  
Establishing the PPP link  
The Link Control Protocol (LCP) of the PPP helps establish a link. LCP generates  
three types of packets:  
Link configuration packets, including configure-request, configure-ACK,  
configure-NAK, and configure-reject packets  
Link termination packets, including terminate-request and terminate-ACK  
packets  
Link maintenance packets, including code-reject, protocol-reject,  
echo-request, and echo-reply packets  
When two devices initialize a PPP dialog, each sends a configure-request packet  
to the other. Each configure-request packet contains a list of LCP options and  
corresponding values that the sending device uses to define its end of the link.

32 Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module  
For example, a configure-request packet may specify the links maximum  
transmission unit (MTU) size. The configure-request packet contains the  
user-configured values, which the sending device and the receiving device may  
need to negotiate.  
When the receiving device gets a configure-request packet from the sending  
device, the receiving device responds with one of the following three types of  
packets:  
configure-ACK (that is, configure acknowledgment),  
configure-reject, or  
configure-NAK (that is, configure negative acknowledgment).  
When the receiving device accepts the proposed LCP options, it responds with a  
configure-ACK packet. When the devices on each side of the link send and  
receive configure-ACK packets, the LCP advances to an open state, which means  
that the PPP interface can advance to the next phase. The devices converge.  
When the configure-request packet from the sending device contains options that  
the receiving device is not willing to negotiate, the receiving device sends back a  
configure-reject packet specifying the nonnegotiable options. From that point on,  
configure-request packets from the sending device should eliminate the  
unacceptable options. When the sending device eliminates the offending options,  
the devices converge.  
When the receiving device disagrees with some or all of the values of the  
proposed options in the configure-request packet, it responds with a  
configure-NAK packet. The configure-NAK packet notes the values that the  
receiving device disagrees with, and it includes the corresponding values that the  
receiving device would like to see in subsequent configure-request packets.  
LCP negotiations between sending and receiving devices continue until either:  
Both devices converge (reach an agreement regarding the configure-request).  
The receiving device transmits a specified number of configure-NAK packets  
before sending a configure-reject packet.  
The convergence timer expires.

Chapter 2 Using the Passport 8683POS Module 33  
Negotiating network layer protocols  
PPP uses various network control protocols to determine the values of parameters  
during network layer negotiations, which is the final phase of PPP initialization.  
Similar to the LCP, each network control protocol allows the devices to negotiate  
various network options over the data link by transmitting configure-request,  
configure-ACK, configure-NAK, and configure-reject packets.  
Networks options include which network addresses to use and which media types  
to bridge. Once both devices agree upon networks options, the network control  
protocol reaches the open state. The devices then begin transmitting user data  
packets for upper-layer protocols over the link.  
Spanning tree group feature  
The BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) format specified in RFC 1638 is enabled  
by default on the Passport 8683POS Module. If support for multiple spanning tree  
groups is required, the BPDU default format must first be disabled. For  
information on changing the STG format, see config pos pppon page 95.

Verifying installation  
The Passport 8683POS Module front panel has an Online LED that indicates  
whether or not the module has power applied and is initialized correctly. For  
information on online LEDs, see Online LEDon page 27.  
Note: You cannot configure the Passport 8683POS Module until the  
online LED on the module is steadily lit and you have inserted at least  
one MDA.  
Initialization  
When the Passport 8683POS Module is installed into a Passport 8600 series  
chassis, ensure that the Passport 8690SF module in the same chassis has a  
PCMCIA card inserted and that the PCMCIA card contains the p80p3100.dld  
image, which supports the Passport 8683POS Module. For more information  
about the PCMCIA slot and the Passport 8690SF module, refer to Using the  
Passport 8600 Modules.  
The Passport 8690SF module retrieves the image file p80t3100.dld to download  
to the Passport 8683POS Module. First, the Passport 8690SF module searches the  
host flash memory for the file, then the PCMCIA card. The Passport 8690SF  
module downloads the image file to the Passport 8683POS Module and identifies  
which MDAs are installed. The screen displays following message:  
Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file  
name and image size.)  
If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PCMCIA, the  
screen displays this message:  
POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.  
If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:  
Card is off line.

screen displays this message:  
Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3  
times; POS card is offline.  
When the Passport 8683POS Module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0.  
After the image loads onto the Passport 8683POS Module, it performs a series of  
self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the screen displays the  
following message:  
Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed  
diagnostics.  
If you see this message, contact a service representative. For information on  
contacting service representatives, refer to How to get helpon page 21.  
When the image successfully loads onto the Passport 8683POS Module, the  
screen displays the following message:

42 Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module  
If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the Passport  
8683POS Module.  
Note: You must save your configuration (using either the CLI or Device  
Manager) to preserve the configuration changes you made to the  
Passport 8683POS Module across reboots.  
MDA insertion and configuration  
Once you insert an MDA, you must complete some basic configuration tasks for  
the Passport 8683POS Module to begin switching operations as soon as it  
completes initialization. For information on installing MDAs, refer to Installing  
the Passport 8683POS Module MDAs.  
To verify that the Passport 8683POS Module is ready to receive and transmit  
traffic, check the LEDs on the module and the MDA. Once you enable the ports  
using the CLI or Device Manager, the online LED on the module lights steady  
green, and the module is ready. See Online LEDon page 27 and MDA LEDs”  
on page 28.  
For information on enabling ports, refer to Enabling or disabling a porton  
page 59.  
You configure and manage the Passport 8600 series switch operation for your  
network using the command line interface (CLI) or SNMP-based network  
management software, such as Device Manager. For information on configuring  
and managing the Passport 8683POS Module, refer to Chapter 4, Managing the  
Passport 8683POS Module,on page 45.

Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8683POS Module 43  
Replacing a module  
You can hot-swap Passport 8683POS Modules as long as the module you are  
removing has the same MDAs installed as the module you are inserting. In this  
case, the system saves the configuration. If you hot-swap the module with a  
module that has different MDAs installed, you must reconfigure the module.  
If you are hot-swapping modules, read the following section for information about  
how the routing switch recognizes replacement modules and how to avoid  
potential problems.  
Warning: The Passport 8683POS Module itself is hot-swappable; the  
MDAs necessary to pass traffic on the module are not hot-swappable.  
Starting the system after a module replacement  
After you replace a module on your chassis, you can expect the following results:  
In a running system, when you replace an input/output (I/O) module with a  
module of the same type, the system restores the configuration of all the ports.  
When you replace a module with one of a different type, the system discards  
the configuration of the old ports, and the new ports are added to either the  
default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the  
switch.  
When you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory  
(NVRAM), turn off the switch, replace a module with a different module  
type, and turn the system on again, the system discards the configuration of  
the old ports, and adds new ports to either the default VLAN or an unassigned  
VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.  
Starting the system with an empty slot  
When you save the configuration in NVRAM, shut down the system, remove a  
module, turn on the chassis with that slot empty, and then populate the slot with a  
module of the same type as the one previously there, the system is not able to  
restore the original configuration.

Managing the Passport 8683POS Module  
Two management tools enable you to manage the Passport 8683POS Module:  
Device Manager and command line interface (CLI). You can also use the  
embedded web-based management feature to monitor the Passport 8683POS  
Module. See Chapter 7, Web management,on page 131 for information on  
Port numbering,next

Port numbering  
You must insert an MDA into the Passport 8683POS Module in order to have  
connectivity. The module contains three slots for MDAs, and you can mix and  
match from among the following MDAs, which are available (SMF and MMF):  
1-port OC-12c/STM-4  
2-port OC-3c/STM-1  
The management system identifies an interface by its slot number in the Passport  
8600 series chassis and its port number, using the syntax slot number/port number  
(s/p). Because the Passport 8683POS Module can have up to six ports with three  
2-port MDAs inserted, port numbers 1 and 2 are reserved for the MDA in the left

slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports. Port numbers 3 and 4 apply  
to the MDA in the middle slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports;  
and port numbers 5 and 6 apply to the MDA in the right slot regardless of the  
physical number of ports.  
For example, a Passport 8683POS Module in the second slot of the Passport 8600  
series chassis with an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA in the left slot, an OC-3c/STM-1  
MDA in the middle, and an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA in the right slot has the  
following port numbers for management and configuration:  
2/1: OC-12c/STM-4  
2/3: OC-3c/STM-1, left port  
2/4: OC-3c/STM-1, right port  
2/5: OC-12c/STM-4  
As another example of port numbering, an Passport 8683POS Module in the  
second slot of the chassis with an OC-3c/STM-1 MDA in the left slot, the middle  
slot blank, and an OC-12c/STM-4 installed in the right slot has the following port  
numbers:  
2/1: OC-3c/STM-1, left port  
2/2: OC-3c/STM-1, right port  
2/5: OC-12c/STM-4  
A Passport 8683POS Module with three OC-3c/STM-1 MDAs installed has ports  
numbered consecutively 1 through 6, from left to right.  
Device Manager  
Passport Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface tool  
designed to manage single devices. In order to use Device Manager, you must  
have network connectivity to a management station running Device Manager on  
one of the supported platforms.

Configuring bridging  
The Passport 8683POS Module is configured for bridging by default. The  
configuration is set for bridging between two Passport 8683POS Modules with  
one default VLAN. The Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) is enabled on the Passport  
8683POS Module by default.  
Note: When the POS link is enabled after a parameter change or a  
chassis reset, some superfluous traffic may initially be sent out of POS  
ports before any LCP packets go out. This is normal.  
You can also configure bridging for the Passport 8683POS Module for connection  
to other POS-capable devices.

Configuring routing  
A POS port configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation must be the sole  
member of the VLAN. You cannot add any other port to a VLAN which already  
has a POS port with IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation enabled. You cannot add a  
POS port which is configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation to a VLAN  
which already has other ports as members.  
Note: When the Passport 8600 switch is interoperating with a Juniper  
router, the POS port must have the Juniper IP address configured in the  
remote IP field. This is necessary because the Juniper routers do not  
provide their local IP address during PPP negotiation. The Passport 8600  
switch requires the Juniper address for IPCP operations. See config pos  
ipon page 94 for information on configuring the remote IP address.  
Note also that 30-bit subnet masks may be required for certain JUNOS  
releases.

config pos ip  
Use the config pos ip command to configure IP parameters on the Passport  
8683POS Module.  
Note: When the Passport 8600 switch is interoperating with a Juniper  
router, the POS port must have the Juniper IP address configured. This is  
necessary because the Juniper routers do not provide their local IP  
address during PPP negotiation. The Passport 8600 switch requires the  
Juniper address for IPCP operations.
