Multi-Carrier ABC Overview (CLI)
Multi-Carrier Adaptive Bandwidth Control (ABC) enables multiple separate radio
carriers to be shared by a single Ethernet port. This provides an Ethernet link over
the radio with the total sum of the capacity of all the radios in the group, while
still behaving as a single Ethernet interface. In Multi-Carrier ABC mode, traffic is
dynamically divided among the carriers, at the Layer 1 level, without requiring
Ethernet Link Aggregation.
Load balancing is performed regardless of the number of MAC addresses or the
number of traffic flows. During fading events which cause ACM modulation
changes, each carrier fluctuates independently with hitless switchovers between
modulations, increasing capacity over a given bandwidth and maximizing
spectrum utilization. The result is 100% utilization of radio resources in which
traffic load is balanced based on instantaneous radio capacity per carrier.
One Multi-Carrier ABC group that includes both radio interfaces can be configured
per unit. The MRMC scripts for both radio carriers must be identical.
14.2.2
Configuring a Multi-Carrier ABC Group (CLI)
Note
:
Radio slot 2 port 1 should always be configured on channel 1 while
Radio slot 2 port 2 should always be configured on channel 2.
To configure a Multi-Carrier ABC group:
1 Create the group by entering the following command in root view:
root> multi-carrier-abc create group group_id 1
multi-carrier-abc group-id [1]>
2 Enter Multi-Carrier ABC Group view by entering the following command in
root view:
root> multi-carrier-abc group-id [1]
3 Add members to the group as follows:
◦
To add a radio interface to the group, enter the following command in
Multi-Carrier ABC Group view. Repeat this command for each radio
interface you want to add.
multi-carrier-abc group-id [1]> attach-member slot 2 port
<port> channel-id <1-16>
◦
The Channel ID identifies the interface within the group.
4 Repeat for the second radio interface.
