Traffic Core Card Protection 

7.7.1 

Introduction to Traffic Core Card Protection 

Core card protection provides equipment level protection for the core switch. The 
scheme is an equipment level protection scheme, which provides a means of fast, 
autonomous recovery from card failures.  

Given that the core cards support the SDH line interface modules, failure/removal of a 
core card will also mean that line interfaces become unavailable. Protecting 
failure/removal of line interfaces can only be achieved by independently setting up 
linear MSP protection on pairs of line interfaces, across A and B Core Cards. 
Alternatively (or inclusively), path layer SNCP protection of traffic would be set up 
using pairs of SDH line interface bearers across A and B Core Cards. 

In summary, configuring core card/core tributary protection, linear MSP and/or path 
layer SNCP may be necessary to achieve full equipment level protection of the multi-
function core card, its SDH line interface modules and its dependant core tributary 
card. 

Note:  

Linear MSP, SNCP, 1:1 generic trib card protection, and PDH trib port 
protection schemes all operate independently of the core card protection 
scheme. 

Note:  

MS-SPRING is also available with the STM-4/16 core units to protect the line 
interfaces. 

An SMA may be operated with or without core unit protection.  

For unprotected operation, only a single core unit is necessary. The position of the 
Core card depends on what subrack you are using and what naming convention that 
you are using: 

• 

In OMS 1240 Core A goes in physical slot S1-04 or logical LCT slot 1-9 

• 

In OMS 1260 Core A goes in physical slot S1-07 or logical LCT slot 1-26
