Specifying a remote shelf name and location
You can assign a name or CLLI code to uniquely identify each remote shelf, and
specify the shelf’s physical location to simplify maintenance procedures.
For example, the following commands specify a name and location for a Stinger
Compact Remote:
HOST>
new remote-shelf-config shelf-7
HOST>
set host-port physical-address slot = 1
HOST>
set host-port physical-address item = 3
HOST>
set name = Z0WISAAASCR
HOST>
set location = ZoowieIsland-Saskatchewan
HOST>
set enabled = yes
HOST>
write -f
Configuring shelf validation
Remote shelf validation provides a layer of error checking for indicating if a remote
shelf is disconnected from one OLIM port and accidentally reconnected to the wrong
OLIM port. This level of error checking is important especially when an OLIM is
being replaced or when fibers are being rearranged at a fiber cross-connect panel.
When validation is enabled and a nonzero ID has been assigned in the
remote-shelf-
config
profile, the host performs a comparison of the software ID setting and a binary
validation ID set manually by using an 8-bit DIP switch on the backplane of the shelf.
If the manual setting and the software ID setting do not match, the shelf does not
come up as part of the hosted system, and the validation failure is recorded and
reported.
The comparison occurs at the moment the control channel is established between the
host and remote shelf. For example, it occurs when the remote shelf recovers from a
reset or the optical link to the shelf recovers from a failure.
If the validation ID in
remote-shelf-config
is set to zero (the default), validation is
not performed for the shelf, regardless of
validation-enable
settings.
If the validation ID in
remote-shelf-config
is set to a nonzero value, validation is
performed if validation has been enabled for the shelf.
Following are the parameters for enabling shelf validation and specifying an ID:
[in SYSTEM]
validation-enable = yes
[in REMOTE-SHELF-CONFIG/shelf-
M
:validation-config]
validation-enable = system-defined
validation-id = 0
