Configuring HSB Radio Protection (CLI)
You must perform the initial configuration of a 1+1 or 2+2 HSB system using a
splitter cable for each unit to provide a management connection to each unit.
For instructions on preparing and connecting the splitter cables, refer to the
Installation Guide for IP-20C or IP-20S.
Ethernet traffic must be routed to each unit via an optical splitter cable.
To configure HSB radio protection:
1 Before enabling protection, you must:
i Verify that both units have the same hardware part number (see
Displaying Unit Inventory (CLI)) and the same software version (see
Viewing Current Software Versions (CLI)). If the units do not have the
same software version, upgrade each unit to the most recent software
release (see Configuring a Software Download (CLI)).
ii Assign an IP address to each unit. For instructions, see Changing the
iii Establish a management connection to one of the units. You can select
either unit; once you enable Protection Administration, the system will
determine which unit becomes the Active unit.
2 To enable protection, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform management protection set admin enable
The system configures itself for HSB protection:
The system determines which unit is the Active unit based on a
number of pre-defined criteria.
When the system returns online, all management must be performed
via the Active unit using the IP address you defined for that unit.
The IP address you defined for the unit which is now the Standby unit
is no longer valid, and the management port of the Standby unit
becomes non-operational.
Management of the Standby unit is performed via the Active unit, via
the cable between the two MIMO/Prot ports on the splitters
connecting the two units.
3 Once you have enabled Protection Admin:
i Perform all necessary radio configurations on the Active unit, such as
setting the frequency, assigning MRMC scripts, unmuting the radio, and
setting up radio groups such as XPIC or Multi-Carrier ABC
(Multi-Radio).
ii Perform all necessary Ethernet configurations on the Active unit, such
as defining Ethernet services.
iii Enter the following command in root view to copy the configuration of
the Active unit to the Standby unit:
root> platform management protection copy-to-mate
Note:
While the system is performing the copy-to-mate operation,
a temporary loss of management connection will occur.
