Frequently Asked Questions - PTP 850EX Cambium Networks

How do I set up the PTP 850EX for the first time?
Connect the device to a PC via the RJ-45 management port using a TP cable. Configure your PC with an IP address in the same subnet (default device IP: 192.168.1.1). Open a web browser and log in with username admin and password admin. Then use the Quick Configuration Wizard to set basic parameters like IP address, activation key, and radio parameters.
What is the default IP address of the PTP 850EX?
The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If forgotten, you can reset it by pressing the IP address reset button (underneath the power interface) for at least 10 seconds.
How do I change the management IP address?
Go to Platform > Management > Networking > Local in Advanced mode (or Platform > IP Configuration in Basic mode). Enter the new IPv4/IPv6 address, subnet mask, and default gateway, then click Apply.
How can I enable in-band management?
In-band management allows remote access via the radio link. First, configure a management service with Service ID 1025 (predefined). Add at least one service point pointing to the remote site. Ensure the external switch supports in-band management. Then set the management traffic DSCP/TC for priority.
What are the supported Ethernet port speeds?
The PTP 850EX has two SFP28 cages (Eth 2 and Eth 3) supporting 1/10/25 GbE, and one QSFP port (Eth 4) that can be used for 1x1GbE or 10GbE with an adaptor, or for protection/XPIC (future). The management port (P2) is 100/1000Base-T.
How do I upgrade the software?
Go to Platform > Software > Download & Install. Upload the software package (do not unzip) via HTTP or FTP/SFTP. Schedule an installation if desired. The unit will reboot and apply the new software. Ensure the package is compatible with your hardware.
How do I configure a radio link?
First, configure the radio parameters via Radio > Radio Parameters (TX/RX frequency, admin status). Then create an Ethernet service for traffic under Ethernet > Services. Use the Quick Configuration Wizard for simple 1+0 or 2+0 links.
What should I do if the unit overheats?
The unit has an internal temperature alarm (32002) that triggers at 90°C. Ensure proper ventilation and that the ambient temperature is within -40°C to +55°C. The alarm clears when temperature falls below 79°C (high) or rises above -34°C (low). Check the temperature under Unit Summary.
How do I reset the unit to factory defaults?
In the Web EMS, go to Platform > Configuration > Configuration Management and select 'Set to Factory Default'. Alternatively, use the CLI command: root> platform configuration factory-default. This will erase all configurations and reboot.
How can I monitor performance and alarms?
Use the Unit Summary page for an overview of alarms and parameters. Go to Faults > Current Alarms for active alarms. Performance monitoring is available under Radio > PM & Statistics and Ethernet > PM & Statistics. You can also configure SNMP traps to a management system.

Configuration Tips

This section describes common issues and how to avoid them.

- Ethernet Port Configuration

The Ethernet ports of PTP 850 devices not enabled by default in a new unit. You must make enable the Ethernet port or ports in order for the unit to process Ethernet traffic. See Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager).

For instructions, see Configuring Ethernet Interfaces.

- SyncE Interface Configuration

When configuring a Sync source or outgoing clock on an Ethernet interface, the Media Type interface must be SFP, not Auto-Type. See Synchronization.

• In-Band Management

In order to use in-band management with an external switch, it must be supported on the e switch.

When configuring in-band management, be sure to tag the management traffic to avoid overflow the CPU.

If you are using 1588 Transparent Clock, make sure the Transparent Clock settings are symmet that is, make sure Transparent Clock is either enabled or disabled on both sides of the link loss of management, make sure to configure Transparent Clock on the remote side of the lin then on the local side. See Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock.

It is strongly recommended to assign the management service (1025) a CoS of 7 to ensure the management packets receive high priority and are not discarded in instances of network conge. See Configuring Ethernet Service(s).

For instructions on configuring in-band management, see Configuring In-Band Management.

If you are configuring LAG with an external switch, the switch must support LAG. For instruct configuring LAG, see Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG).

When using IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization across a LAG link, follow the recommendations set ITU-T standard G.8275.1, Annex 6 in order to prevent PTP packets from following different pat between the devices, which can lead to asymmetric delay. For instructions on configuring LAG, Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG).

- Software Upgrade

When upgrading software via HTTP, make sure the software package is not unzipped. For instructions, see Upgrading the Software.

- Configuration Management and Backup Restoration

Configuration files can only be copied to the same hardware type with the same part number unit from which they were originally saved.

Introduction to the Web EMS

The Element Management System (Web EMS) is an HTTP web-based element manager that enables operator to perform configuration operations and obtain statistical and performance information related to the system, including:

  • Configuration Management – Enables you to view and define configuration data.
  • Fault Monitoring – Enables you to view active alarms.
  • Performance Monitoring – Enables you to view and clear performance monitoring values and counters.
  • Diagnostics and Maintenance – Enables you to define and perform loop back tests and softw updates.
  • Security Configuration – Enables you to configure security features.
  • User Management – Enables you to define users and user groups.

The Web EMS opens to a page that summarizes the key unit parameters. The next page, when down the Web EMS main menu, summarizes the key radio parameters. Next is a page that sum key security-related parameters of the unit.

A Web-Based EMS connection to the unit can be opened using a Web browser (Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Google Chrome). Only the latest three versions of each browser type are supported. T Based EMS uses a graphical interface.

The Web-Based EMS shows the actual unit configuration and provides easy access to any interface-wide range of configuration, testing, and system monitoring tasks can be performed through the WEMS.

Getting Started

This chapter lists and describes the steps that you must perform to establish basic connectivity with PTP 850 unit and the basic radio parameters necessary to establish a link. Some of the procedures chapter are only necessary for certain hardware configurations or link types, as described below.

This section includes:

  • Assigning IP Addresses in the Network
    • Establishing a Connection
  • Logging on
  • Changing Your Password
  • Applying a Pre-Defined Configuration File
    • Performing Quick Platform Setup
  • Configuring In-Band Management
  • Changing the Management IP Address
  • Enabling Dynamic IPv6 Addresses Via DHCPv6
  • Configuring DSCP/TC for Management
  • Configuring the Activation Key
  • Setting the Time and Date (Optional)
  • Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager)
  • Configuring the Radio (MRMC) Script(s)
  • Configuring the Radio Parameters
  • Creating Service(s) for Traffic

Assigning IP Addresses in the Network

Before a remote connection is established, it is of high importance that you assign the PTP 850 dedicated IP address, according to an IP plan for the total network. See Changing the Management IP Address.

By default, a new PTP 850 unit has the following IP settings:

• IP address: 192.168.1.1
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Assigning IP Addresses in the Network - 1

Warning

If the connection over the link is established with identical IP addresses, an IP address: conflict will occur and the remote connection may be lost.

Establishing a Connection

Connect the device to a PC by means of a TP cable. The cable is connected to the MGT p 850 and to the LAN port on the PC. Refer to the Installation Guide for the type of unit you for cable connection instructions.

PC Setup

To obtain contact between the PC and the PTP 850 device, it is necessary to configure an IP the PC within the same subnet as the PTP 850 device. The default PTP 850 IP address is 192 the PC address to e.g. 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Note the initial settings b changing.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - PC Setup - 1

Note

The PTP 850 IP address, as well as the password, should be changed before operating device. See Changing the Management IP Address and Changing Your Password. In Basic mode, select Platform > IP Configuration to change the device's IP address. To change

Disabling the Management and Protection/XPIC Interfaces

If you want to prevent local access to the device, you must disable both the Management interf Protection/XPIC interface on an PTP 850EX . If the Management and Protection/XPIC interfaces are disabled (PTP 850EX), , it will not be possible to access the device except through in-band mar Therefore, before disabling the Management and Protection/XPIC interfaces, you must make sure that in-band management of the device is properly configured and available.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Disabling the Management and Protection/XPIC Interfaces - 1

Warning

Disabling the Management and Protection/XPIC interfaces without ensuring proper in-band management configuration will require RMA at the customer's expense.

To disable the Management interface on an PTP 850EX set the port to Admin = Disable in the Manager. See Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager).

To disable the Protection/XPIC interface on an PTP 850EX, enter the following CLI command:

Dynamic IPv6

Enabling Dynamic IPv6 Addresses Via DHCPv6

Optionally, you can configure the device to obtain its IPv6 address automatically from a DSCP se configure the device to IPv6 Automatic mode, you must enable Automatic mode in the Local Net Configuration page.

Once IPv6 Automatic mode is configured, the manually configured IPv6 address is stored but not the device. It is used again if and when IPv6 Automatic mode is disabled. Before enabling IPv6 mode, you should record the IPv6 Link Local Address, which is displayed in the Local Networking Configuration page. The Link Local IPv6 address can be used to re-connect to the device if the server is unavailable.

After enabling IPv6 Automatic mode, the address obtained automatically from the DHCPv6 server can be used to re-connect to the device. You can also use the device's IPv4 address.

Once you have re-established the management connection, you can view the IPv6 configuration the device has obtained from the DHCP server in the Local Networking Configuration page.

To enable IPv6 Automatic mode:

  2. In the IPv6 Assignment Mode field, select Automatic (DHCP).
  3. Click Apply. Management will be lost until the device obtains a new IP address from the DHCP server. However, you can still access the device via its IPv4 address or the IPv6 Link Local Address
  4. For configurations with unit redundancy, make sure to perform copy-to-mate as soon as the management connection is restored, to ensure that in case of switchover, the IPv6 address of Standby unit is aligned with that of the Active unit.

In the event that the Standby unit is to be moved to a different setup, to act as either the unit in that setup, it is recommended to first clear the DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier) in order to duplicate DUIDs in the new setup. This must be done via CLI, using the following command:

root> platform management ip reset ipv6-duid

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Enabling Dynamic IPv6 Addresses Via DHCPv6 - 3

Note

The DUID is used in IPv6 to provide unique identification for devices.

Configuring DSCP/TC for Management

In certain situations when using in-band management, management data and user traffic are not separated by VLANs. This happens if both are untagged or use the same VLAN.

In such cases, you can assign a DSCP (IPv4) or TC (IPv6) value to management data in order it from user traffic. While ingress management packets will have whatever DSCP/TC they were orig assigned, when they egress from the CPU they will carry the assigned DSCP or TC. This enable ensure that management packets from the device have priority and will continue to be sent even there is congestion.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring DSCP/TC for Management - 1

Note

By default, the DSCP/TC value assigned to management traffic egressing the device is

The following settings are required for these DSCP/TC settings to work properly:

  • For all logical interfaces, the Trust VLAN UP bits parameter must be set to Un-Trust. See Configuring Ingress Path Classification on a Logical Interface.
  • For the management service, the CoS Mode must be set to Preserve-SP-COS-Decision. See Ad an Ethernet Service.

To configure DSCP/TC for management:

  1. Select Platform > Management > Networking > Local. The Local Networking Configuration page opens (Changing the Management IP Address).
  2. In the IPv4 DSCP field, select a DSCP value for management connections that use IPv4 protocol.

Activation Key Overview

PTP 850 offers a pay-as-you-grow concept in which future capacity growth and additional functional be enabled with activation keys. Each device contains a single unified activation key cipher.

Alternatively, a Smart Activation Key is available for simplified and centralized activation key management using a Smart Activation Key server to manage licensing for multiple devices. For further information, Smart Activation Key management, refer to the Smart Activation Key User Guide.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Activation Key Overview - 1

Note

This and the following sections describe how to manage activation keys without using Smart Activation Key.

New PTP 850 units are delivered with a default activation key that enables you to manage and the unit. Additional feature and capacity support requires you to enter an activation key cipher in Activation Key Configuration page. Contact your vendor to obtain your activation key cipher.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

To obtain an activation key cipher, you may need to provide the unit's serial number. display the serial number in the Web EMS Inventory page. See Displaying Unit Inventor

Each required feature and capacity should be purchased with an appropriate activation key. It is permitted to enable features that are not covered by a valid activation key. In the event that the key-enabled capacity and feature set is exceeded, an Activation Key Violation alarm occurs and the EMS displays a yellow background and an activation key violation warning. After a 48-hour grace all other alarms are hidden until the capacity and features in use are brought within the activation capacity and feature set.

In order to clear the alarm, you must configure the system to comply with the activation key that loaded in the system. The system automatically checks the configuration to ensure that it complies the activation-key-enabled features and capacities. If no violation is detected, the alarm is cleared.

When entering sanction state, the system configuration remains unchanged, even after power cycles. However, the alarms remain hidden until an appropriate activation key is entered or the features capacities are re-configured to be within the parameters of the current activation key.

Demo mode is available, which enables all features for 60 days. When demo mode expires, the recent valid activation key goes into effect. The 60-day period is only counted when the system powered up. 10 days before demo mode expires, an alarm is raised indicating that demo mode expire.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 2

Note

In contrast to an ordinary mute, a timed mute is not persistent. This means that is reset, the radio is not muted when the unit comes back online, even if the time not expired. Also, in Unit Redundancy configurations, a timed mute is not copied to mate unit or radio, and no mismatch alarm is raised if a timed mute is configured one radio in the protection pair.

ii. In the TX Level (dBm) field, enter the desired TX signal level (TSL). The range of values d the frequency and RFU type. When Adaptive TX power admin is configured to Enable, this fi determines the maximum TX level, as described below.
iii. In the Link ID field, enter a unique link identifier from 1 to 65535. The Link ID identifies it to distinguish it from other links. If the Link ID is not the same at both sides of the link, Mismatch alarm is raised.
iv. The Adaptive TX power admin field enables or disables Adaptive TX Power. When Adaptive T is enabled, the radio adjusts its TX power dynamically based on the current modulation. When modulation is at a high level, the TX power is adjusted to the level required with the high the modulation goes down to a lower level, the TX power increases to compensate for the modulation. The TX level configured in the TX Level (dBm) field determines the maximum TX the actual TX level as shown in the Operational TX Level (dBm) field can be expected to I when the radio is operating at high modulations requiring less TX power.

To enable Adaptive TX power, select Enable. The Adaptive TX power operational status field should now indicate Up to indicate that the feature is fully functional.

Radio Loopback

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Radio Loopback - 1

Note

To perform radio loopback, the radio must be set to its maximum TX power. For reliability loopback results, the loopback should be performed with the modulation at 1024 QAM or I. When performing RF loopback, the antenna port of the radio must be terminated.

Setting radio loopback, either RF or IF, will cause full loss of the end-to-end traffic air band management to remote units. To avoid permanent loss of traffic and in-band management, it is recommended to set a loopback timeout.

Do not change the TX or RX frequencies while radio loopback is active. Doing so with the radio link from being re-established after the loopback has finished.

To perform radio loopback, click Radio Loopback. For further information, see Performing Radio Loopback.

Multi-Carrier ABC Overview

Multi-Carrier Adaptive Bandwidth Control (ABC) enables multiple separate radio carriers to be shared by single Ethernet port. This provides an Ethernet link over the radio with the total sum of the cap, the radios in the group, while still behaving as a single Ethernet interface. In Multi-Carrier ABC is dynamically divided among the carriers, at the Layer 1 level, without requiring Ethernet Link Ag. Load balancing is performed regardless of the number of MAC addresses or the number of traffic 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 close to 100% utilization of radio resources in which traffic load is balanced based on instantaneous radio capacity per carrier.

In a Multi-Carrier ABC group in which all carriers are operating at the minimum ACM profile:

  • As long as at least one carrier is operating without BER or LOF, the link will continue to even if the other carrier is in BER or LOF state. The carrier in BER or LOF state is removed group until the BER or LOF state has been resolved.
  • If both carriers are in BER or LOF state, traffic will not pass until at least one of the car operation without BER or LOF.

One Multi-Carrier ABC group that includes both radio interfaces can be configured per unit. It is recommended to use the same radio script and ACM settings on both radio carriers in the Mult ABC group.

XPIC Overview

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - XPIC Overview - 1

Note

For PTP 850EX, XPIC is planned for future release.

Cross Polarization Interference Canceller (XPIC) is a feature that enables two radio carriers to use same frequency with a polarity separation between them. Since they will never be completely orth some signal cancellation is required.

XPIC is configured with the two carriers of a single unit on each side of the link.

XPIC enables links of up to 2 Gbps, consisting of 1 Gbps per carrier. XPIC can be installed in following configurations:

  • Direct Mount – The device is connected to the antenna via an OMT.
  • Remote Mount – The device is connected to the antenna via two flexible waveguides. Some configurations also require an OMT.

To configure and enable XPIC:

• Install the IP-device in a dual polarization configuration.
- Configure the carriers – See Configuring the Radio Carriers
- Perform antenna alignment – See Performing Antenna Alignment for XPIC

In order for XPIC to be operational, all the following conditions must be met:

  • The frequency of both carriers should be equal.
  • The same script must be loaded in both carriers.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

Before performing any maintenance operation, such as performing an RF loopback, or setting the interface to Admin = Down, you must first either mute the radio to be d both sides of the link or disable the XPIC group.

Performing Antenna Alignment for XPIC

  1. Align the antennas for the first carrier. While you are aligning these antennas, mute the second See Configuring the Radio Parameters.
  2. Adjust the antenna alignment until you achieve the maximum RSL for the first-carrier link (the "RSLwanted"). This RSL should be no more than +/-2 dB from the expected level. Record the the first carrier as the "RSLwanted").
  3. Measure the RSL of the second carrier and record it as the "RSLunwanted").

  4. Determine the XPD by subtracting RSLunwanted from the RSLwanted.

  5. The XPD should be at least 25dB. If it is not, you should adjust the OMT assembly on the antenna at one side of the link until you achieve the highest XPD, which should be no less Adjust the OMT very slowly in a right-left direction. OMT adjustment requires very fine movement and it may take several minutes to achieve the best possible XPD.

  6. Unmute all the carriers and check the RSL levels of all the carriers on both sides of the horizontal carrier of the local unit should match the RSL of the vertical carrier of the re within ±2dB. The RSL of the vertical carrier of the local unit should match the RSL of the carrier of the remote unit, within ±2dB.

  7. Check the XPI levels of all the carriers on both sides of the link. All the carriers should have approximately the same XPI value. Do not adjust the XPI at the remote side of the link, as cause the XPI at the local side of the link to deteriorate.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Performing Antenna Alignment for XPIC - 1

Note

In some cases, the XPI might not exceed the required 25dB minimum due to adv atmospheric conditions. If you believe this to be the case, you can leave the configuration at the lower values, but be sure to monitor the XPI to make sure if subsequently exceeds 25dB. A normal XPI level in clear sky conditions is between and 30dB.

XPIC Status and Troubleshooting

The XPIC status for the radio carrier is displayed in the Group Members (Role, State) column of Advanced Multi Carrier Configuration page.

Possible statuses are:

- Idle - XPIC is working properly.

- INIT – Indicates that the Admin state of the radio interface is Down. Go to the Interface Manager and set the Admin status of the radio interface to Up. See Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager).

- Configuration not supported – Indicates that the MRMC script configured for the radio carrier does not support XPIC. See Configuring the Radio Carriers.

Link aggregation (LAG) enables you to group several physical Ethernet or radio interfaces into a logical interface bound to a single MAC address. This logical interface is known as a LAG group sent to the interfaces in a LAG group is distributed by means of a load balancing mechanism. P uses a distribution function of up to Layer 4 in order to generate the most efficient distribution LAG physical ports.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG) - 1

LACP is planned for future release.

This section explains how to configure LAG and includes the following topics:

  • LAG Overview
  • Configuring a LAG Group
  • Enabling and Disabling LAG Group Shutdown in Case of Degradation Event
  • Deleting a LAG Group

LAG Overview

LAG can be used to provide redundancy for Ethernet interfaces, both on the same PTP 850 unit protection) and on separate units (line protection and equipment protection). LAGs can also be used to provide redundancy for radio links.

LAG can also be used to aggregate several interfaces in order to create a wider (aggregate) line example, LAG can be used to create a 4 Gbps channel.

You can create up to four LAG groups. The following restrictions exist with respect to LAG group

  • Only physical interfaces (including radio interfaces), not logical interfaces, can belong to a LAG
  • It is recommended not to include radio interfaces in a LAG group with Ethernet interfaces.
  • Interfaces can only be added to the LAG group if no services or service points are attached interface.
  • Any classification rules defined for the interface are overridden by the classification rules define the LAG group.
  • When removing an interface from a LAG group, the removed interface is assigned the default interface values.

There are no restrictions on the number of interfaces that can be included in a LAG. It is rec but not required, that each interface in the LAG have the same parameters (e.g., speed, duplex

The LAG page lists all LAG groups configured on the unit.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - LAG Overview - 1

Note

To add or remove an Ethernet interface to a LAG group, the interface must be in a administrative state of "down". This restriction does not apply to radio interfaces. For instructions on setting the administrative state of an interface, see Enabling the Interface:

(Interface Manager).

PTP 850 also supports Multi-Homing for ETH-BN and CSF messages. You can enable Multi-Homing creating or editing a LAG. When Multi-Homing is enabled:

  • If ETH-BN (Ethernet Bandwidth Notification) is enabled on one of the interfaces in the LAG, E messages are sent simultaneously on all of the LAG members. See Configuring Ethernet Bandw Notification (ETH-BN).
  • If ASP Management Safe Mode is enabled on one of the interfaces in the LAG, CSF message simultaneously on all of the LAG members. See Configuring Automatic State Propagation and Li Loss Forwarding.

Configuring NTP

PTP 850 supports Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP distributes Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) throughout the system, using a jitter buffer to neutralize the effects of variable latency.

You can configure up to four NTP servers. Each server can be configured using IPv4 or IPv6. Multiple servers are configured, the unit chooses the best server according to the implementation Version 4.2.6p1 of the NTPD (Network Time Protocol Daemon). The servers are continually polled. Polling interval is determined by the NTPD, to achieve maximum accuracy consistent with minimum network overhead.

Optionally, for extra security you can enable NTP authentication, as defined in the NTP specification RFC 5905). NTP authentication enables the client to verify the authenticity of the NTP server before synchronizing its clock with the server's time. This can help prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and types of threats that could manipulate the client's clock by providing it with false time information. NTP authentication requires the client and server to have a shared secret key that is used to include the NTP messages exchanged between them. You can define the shared key for the client on it as described below.

To view and configure the NTP Parameters:

  1. Select Platform > Management > NTP Configuration. The NTP Configuration page opens.

If you are not enabling NTP authentication, leave the default value of 0 in the Key Identifier

  1. If you are enabling NTP authentication, select a message authentication code type in the Authentication Type field. Options are:

• MD5
- SHA1 (default)
- SHA2-256

If you are not enabling NTP authentication, you can leave the default value of SHA1.

Configuring ATPC and ATPC Override Timer

ATPC is a closed-loop mechanism by which each carrier changes the TX power according to the received across the link, in order to achieve a desired RSL on the other side of the link.

With ATPC, if the radio increases its TX power up to the configured TX power, it can lead to sustained transmission at maximum power, resulting in unacceptable interference with other systems.

In order to minimize interference, PTP 850 provides an ATPC override mechanism. When ATPC over enabled, a timer begins when ATPC raises the TX power to its maximum. When the timer expires enters ATPC override state. In ATPC override state, the radio transmits no higher than the pre-de ATPC override TX level, and an ATPC override alarm is raised. The radio remains in ATPC over until the ATPC override state is manually cancelled by the user (or until the unit is reset). The returns to normal ATPC operation.

In a configuration with Unit Redundancy, the ATPC override state is propagated to the standby u event of switchover.

RSL level. The range of values depends on the frequency, MRMC script, and RFU type. It is recommended to set the ATPC Reference RX Level to a value that is 10 dB better than the threshold for the maximum ACM profile configured for the radio, in order to account for norm fluctuations in the link quality.

  1. In the ATPC Override Admin field, select Enable to enable ATPC override or Disable to disable ATPC override. You can only enable ATPC override if ATPC itself is enabled.

Configuring BER Thresholds and Displaying Current BER

You can configure PM thresholds, BER thresholds, and Excessive BER Administration. This enables y define the levels at which certain PMs are counted, such as the number of seconds in which t threshold RX and TX levels are exceeded. This also enables you to define the levels at which alarms are triggered.

  • Signal level PM thresholds, such as RX and TX level thresholds, are configured from the Sigr PM Report page. See Displaying Signal Level PMs and Configuring Signal Level PM Thresholds.
  • MSE PM thresholds are configured from the MSE PM Report page. See Displaying MSE PMs Configuring MSE PM Thresholds.

You can also display the current BER level.

To configure the BER thresholds and Excessive BER Administration, and display current BER levels:

The current BER level is displayed in the Radio BER field.

  1. In the Excessive BER admin field, select Enable to enable excessive BER administration or Disable to disable excessive BER administration. Excessive BER administration determines whether or not excessive BER is propagated as a fault and considered a system event. For example, if exceed administration is enabled, excessive BER can trigger a unit switchover and can cause a synchronization source to go into a failure status. Excessive BER administration is enabled or for the entire unit rather than for specific radios.
  2. In the Excessive BER Threshold field, select the level above which an excessive BER alarm is issued for errors detected over the radio link.
  3. In the Signal Degrade BER Threshold field, select the level above which a Signal Degrade alarm is issued for errors detected over the radio link.

Displaying Traffic PMs

This section includes:

• Displaying Capacity and Throughput PMs
- Displaying Utilization PMs and Configuring Utilization Thresholds

Displaying Capacity and Throughput PMs

You can display PMs for capacity and throughput for a radio, based on:

• The total Layer 1 bandwidth (payload plus overheads) sent through the radio (Mbps).
• The total effective Layer 2 traffic sent through the radio.

You can also configure thresholds for capacity and throughput PMs. The number of seconds during these thresholds are exceeded are among the displayed PMs.

Peak counters display the maximum data rate for each interval, with a resolution of one second. means the PM mechanism records the number of bytes sent during each second of the interval displays the number of bytes for the highest one-second period during that interval. So, for exam

measuring 15-minute intervals, the PM mechanism chooses the peak value from 900 recorded value that interval (60 seconds multiplied by 15 60-second record periods).

Average counters display the average number of bytes received on the interface measured with a resolution of one second. This means the PM mechanism divides the total number of bytes received during the interval by the total number of seconds in the interval. So, for example, when measured minute intervals, the PM mechanism divides the total number of bytes received during the 15-minute interval by 900.

To display capacity and throughput PMs per radio:

  1. Select Radio > PM & Statistics > Traffic > Capacity/Throughput. The Capacity PM report page opens.

Ethernet Services Overview

Users can define up to 1024 Ethernet services.

Each service constitutes a virtual bridge that defines the connectivity between logical ports in the network element.

This version of PTP 850 supports the following service types:

  • Multipoint (MP)
  • Point-to-Point (P2P)
  • Management (MNG)

In addition to user-defined services, PTP 850 contains a pre-defined management service. The Serv of the pre-defined management service is 1025.

By default, this service is operational.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Ethernet Services Overview - 1

Note

You can use the management service for in-band management. For instructions on configuring in-band management, see Configuring In-Band Management.

A service point is a logical entity attached to a physical or logical interface. Service points defin movement of frames through the service. Each service point includes both ingress and egress attri Point-to-Point service can hold two service points. A Multipoint service can hold up to 32 service Management service can hold up 30 service points. The maximum number of service points that configured on an PTP 850EX device is 4538.

For a more detailed overview of PTP 850's service-oriented Ethernet switching engine, refer to the Technical Description for the product you are using.

General Guidelines for Provisioning Ethernet Services

When provisioning Ethernet services, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:

  • Use the same Service ID for all service fragments along the path of the service.
  • Do not re-use the same Service ID within the same region. A region is defined as consisting 850 devices having Ethernet connectivity between them.
  • Use meaningful EVC IDs.
  • Give the same EVC ID (service name) to all service fragments along the path of the service
  • Do not reuse the same EVC ID within the same region.

It is recommended to follow these guidelines for creating service points:

• Always use SNP service points on NNI ports and SAP service points on UNI ports.
- For each logical interface associated with a specific service, there should never be more than service point.
- The transport VLAN ID should be unique per service within a single region. That is, no two should use the same transport VLAN ID.

Ethernet Service Points Overview

Service points are logical interfaces within a service. A service point is a logical entity attached physical or logical interface. Service points define the movement of frames through the service. Ea service point includes both ingress and egress attributes.

Each service point for a Point-to-Point or Multipoint service can be either a Service Access Point Service Network Point (SNP). A Point-to-Point service can also use Pipe service points.

  • An SAP is equivalent to a UNI in MEF terminology and defines the connection of the user its access points. SAPs are used for Point-to-Point and Multipoint traffic services.
  • An SNP is equivalent to an NNI or E-NNI in MEF terminology and defines the connection between network elements in the user network. SNPs are used for Point-to-Point and Multipoint traffic systems
  • A Pipe service point is used to create traffic connectivity between two ports in a port-based other words, all the traffic from one port passes to the other port.

Management services utilize Management (MNG) service points.

A Point-to-Point service can hold two service points. A Multipoint service can hold up to 32 serv A management service can hold up to 30 service points. The maximum number of service points be configured on an PTP 850EX device is 4538.

The PTP 850's switching fabric distinguishes between physical interfaces and logical interfaces. Physi and logical interfaces serve different purposes in the switching fabric. In some cases, a physical i corresponds to a logical interface on a one-to-one basis. For some features, such as LAG, a gro physical interfaces can be joined into a single logical interface.

The basic interface characteristics, such as media type, port speed, duplex, and auto negotiation, are configured for the physical interface via the Physical Interfaces page. Ethernet services, QoS, and C characteristics are configured on the logical interface level.

Automatic state propagation enables propagation of radio failures back to the Ethernet port. You can configure Automatic State Propagation to close the Ethernet port based on a radio failure at the carrier.

Automatic state propagation is configured as pairs of interfaces. Each interface pair includes one Monitored Interface and one Controlled Interface. You can create multiple pairs using the same Mc Interface and multiple Controlled Interfaces.

The Monitored Interface is a radio interface or a Multi-Carrier ABC group. The Controlled Interface Ethernet interface or LAG. An Ethernet interface can only be assigned to one Monitored interface.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring Automatic State Propagation and Link Loss Forwarding - 1

Note

A radio interface that belongs to a LAG group cannot be used as a monitored interface

Each Controlled Interface is assigned an LLF ID. If ASP trigger by remote fault is enabled on the remote

side of the link, the ASP state of the Controlled Interface is propagated to the Controlled Interface same LLF ID at the remote side of the link. This means if ASP is triggered locally, it is proposed to remote side of the link, but only to Controlled Interfaces with LLF IDs that match the LLF IDs. Controlled Interfaces on the local side of the link.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

LLF requires an activation key (SL-LLF). Without this activation key, only LLF ID 1 is a

See Configuring the Activation Key.

The following events in the Monitored Interface trigger ASP:

  • Radio LOF
    • Radio Excessive BER
  • Radio LOC
  • Remote Radio LOF
  • Remote Excessive BER
  • Remote LOC

The user can also configure the ASP pair so that Radio LOF, Radio Excessive BER, or loss of connection at the remote side of the link will also trigger ASP.

In addition, ASP is triggered if the Controlled Interface is a LAG, and the physical interfaces that the LAG are set to Admin = Down in the Interface Manager.

When a triggering event takes place:

  • If the Controlled Interface is an electrical GbE port, the port is closed.
  • If the Controlled Interface is an optical GbE port, the port is muted.

The Controlled Interface remains closed or muted until all triggering events are cleared.

In addition, when a local triggering event takes place, the ASP mechanism sends an indication to remote side of the link. Even when no triggering event has taken place, the ASP mechanism se periodic update messages indicating that no triggering event has taken place.

A trigger delay time can be configured, so that when a triggering event takes place, the ASP I does not propagate the event until this delay time has elapsed. A trigger delay from 0 to 10,000 set per LLD ID. The delay time must be configured via CLI. See Configuring Automatic State Propagation and Link Loss Forwarding (CLI).

It is recommended to configure both ends of the link to the same Automatic State Propagation configuration.

To configure an Automatic State Propagation interface pair:

  1. Select Ethernet > Interfaces > ASP & LLF. The ASP & LLF page opens.

  1. In the Controlled Ethernet interface field, select an interface that will be disabled upon failure of the Monitored Radio Interface, defined below.
  2. In the Monitored Interface field, select the Monitored Radio Interface or group. The Controlled Ethernet Interface, defined above, is disabled upon a failure indication on the Monitored Radio Interface.
  3. In the ASP admin field, select Enable to enable Automatic State Propagation on the interface pair, or Disable to disable Automatic State Propagation on the pair.
  4. Optionally, in the ASP trigger by remote fault field, select Enable if you want to configure the system to disable the Controlled Ethernet Interface upon a radio failure at the remote side of the link. Monitored Radio Interface. ASP events will only be propagated to Controlled Interfaces with LLF that match LLF IDs of affected Controlled Interfaces at the other side of the link.
  5. Optionally, in the ASP Management Safe mode admin field, select Enable or Disable to enable or disable ASP Management Safe mode. In ASP Management Safe mode, the ASP mechanism does physically shut down the Controlled Interface when ASP is triggered. Instead, the ASP mechanism sends a failure indication message(CSF PDU). This message is used to propagate the failure in to external equipment.

When ASP Management Safe mode is configured, the peer unit must be configured to receive PDUs. CSF receive must be enabled in order for G.8032 ERPI topology changes to be initiated receipt of a CSF PDU. To enable CSF receive, select Enable in the CSF Receive admin field at the top of the ASP & LLF page.

  1. In the ASP LLF ID field, select an ID for Link Loss Forwarding (LLF). When ASP trigger by remote fault is set to Enable, ASP events at the other side of the link are propagated to Controlled Interfaces with LLF IDs that match the LLF IDs of affected Controlled Interfaces at the other side of the link are unique per Monitored Interface. That is, if LLF ID 1 has been used for a Controlled Interface grouped with radio interface 1, that ID cannot be used again for another Controlled Interface fixed radio interface 1. However, it can be used for Controlled Interface grouped with radio interface 2. You can select an LLF ID between 1 and 30.

  2. Repeat this procedure to assign additional Controlled Interfaces to the Monitored Interface, or t up additional ASP pair with other interfaces. Controlled Interfaces can only be assigned to one pair. Monitored Interfaces can be assigned to multiple ASP pairs.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Quality of Service (QoS) - 1

Note

You can display additional QoS egress PMs and statistics via CLI. For information, see Displaying Egress PMs and Statistics (CLI).

QoS Overview

Quality of Service (QoS) deals with the way frames are handled within the switching fabric. QoS in order to deal with many different network scenarios, such as traffic congestion, packet availability delay restrictions.

PTP 850's personalized QoS enables operators to handle a wide and diverse range of scenarios. 850's smart QoS mechanism operates from the frame's ingress into the switching fabric until the frame egresses via the destination port.

QoS capability is very important due to the diverse topologies that exist in today's network scene. These can include, for example, streams from two different ports that egress via single port, or port connection that holds hundreds of services. In each topology, a customized approach to hand QoS will provide the best results.

QoS Block Diagram shows the basic flow of PTP 850's QoS mechanism. Traffic ingresses (left to right) via

the Ethernet or radio interfaces, on the “ingress path.” Based on the services model, the system determines how to route the traffic. Traffic is then directed to the most appropriate output queue “egress path.”

The ingress path consists of the following QoS building blocks:

  • Ingress Classifier – A hierarchical mechanism that deals with ingress traffic on three different levels: interface, service point, and service. The classifier determines the exact traffic stream and associates it with the appropriate service. It also calculates an ingress frame CoS and Color. CoS and classification can be performed on three levels, according to the user's configuration.
  • Ingress Rate Metering – A hierarchical mechanism that deals with ingress traffic on the interface and service point levels. The rate metering mechanism enables the system to measure the incoming rate on different levels using a TrTCM standard MEF rate meter, and to determine whether to the color calculated during the classification stage.

The egress path consists of the following QoS building blocks:

  • Queue Manager – This is the mechanism responsible for managing the transmission queues, utilizing smart WRED per queue and per packet color (Green or Yellow).
  • Scheduling and Shaping – A hierarchical mechanism that is responsible for scheduling the transmission of frames from the transmission queues, based on priority among queues, Weighted Queuing (WFQ) in bytes per each transmission queue, and eligibility to transmit based on requ shaping on several different levels (per queue and per port).
  • Marker – This mechanism provides the ability to modify priority bits in frames based on the calculated CoS and Color.

Eight transmission queues are provided per port.

Configuring Classification

The hierarchical classifier consists of the following levels:

• Logical interface-level classification
• Service point-level classification
• Service level classification

This section explains how to configure classification at the logical interface level.

  • For instructions how to configure classification at the service point level, see Ethernet Service Points – Ingress Attributes.

- Modifying the S-VLAN 802.1 UP and DEI Bit Classification Table
- Modifying the DSCP Classification Table
- Modifying the MPLS EXP Bit Classification Table

In addition to the procedures described in this section, you can specify a specific CoS and Colc specific VLAN ID. This is the highest classification priority on the logical interface level, and over other classification criteria at the logical interface level. Classification by VLAN ID can only be cor via CLI. See Configuring VLAN Classification and Override (CLI).

Classification Overview

PTP 850 supports a hierarchical classification mechanism. The classification mechanism examines incoming frames and determines their CoS and Color. The benefit of hierarchical classification is the provides the ability to “zoom in” or “zoom out”, enabling classification at higher or lower levels hierarchy. The nature of each traffic stream defines which level of the hierarchical classifier to answer whether to use several levels of the classification hierarchy in parallel.

Classification takes place on the logical interface level. Classification priorities depend on the product type.

Classification is performed according to the following priorities:

  • Service
  • Service Point
  • VLAN ID (CLI-only – see Configuring VLAN Classification and Override (CLI))
  • 802.1p bits
  • MPLS EXP field
  • DSCP bits (only considered if MPLS is not present, regardless of trust setting)
  • Default interface CoS

PTP 850 performs the classification on each frame ingressing the system via the logical interface. Classification is performed step by step from the highest priority to the lowest priority classification method. Once a match is found, the classifier determines the CoS and Color decision for the fractological interface-level.

You can disable some of these classification methods by configuring them as un-trusted. For example, MPLS classification is configured as un-trusted for a specific interface, the classification mechanism (not perform classification according to the MPLS EXP bits. This is useful, for example, if the required classification is based on 802.1p bits or DSCP bits.

If no match is found at the logical interface level, the default CoS is applied to incoming frame. In this case, the Color of the frame is assumed to be Green.

Up to 64 MAC addresses can be defined per device, including four predefined MAC addresses. assign each of these MAC addresses a CoS value and a Color.

The following MAC addresses are predefined, with a high priority (CoS=7, Color=Green). You can e delete these MAC addresses:

  • 09:00:2B:00:00:04
  • 09:00:2B:00:00:05
    01:80:C2:00:00:14
    • 01:80:C2:00:00:15

These are protocol MAC addresses used to transport IS-IS frames as defined in ISO 9542 and I 10589.

Policer (Rate Metering) Overview

The PTP 850 switching fabric supports hierarchical policing on the logical interface level. You can up to 250 rate meter (policer) profiles.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Policer (Rate Metering) Overview - 1

Note

Policing on the service point level must be configured via CLI. See Configuring Policers Metering) (CLI).

PTP 850's policer mechanism is based on a dual leaky bucket mechanism (TrTCM). The policers change a frame's color and CoS settings based on CIR/EIR + CBS/EBS, which makes the policer mechanism a key tool for implementing bandwidth profiles and enabling operators to meet strict S requirements.

The output of the policers is a suggested color for the inspected frame. Based on this color, the management mechanism decides whether to drop the frame or to pass it to the queue.

Configuring Marking

This section includes:

  • Marking Overview
  • Enabling Marking

- Modifying the Marking Table

Marking Overview

Marking refers to the ability to overwrite the outgoing priority bits and Color of the outer VLAN egress frame. Marking mode is only applied if the outer frame is S-VLAN and S-VLAN CoS pres disabled, or if the outer frame is C-VLAN and C-VLAN CoS preservation is disabled. If outer VLAN

preservation is enabled for the relevant outer VLAN, the egress CoS and Color are the same as and Color of the frame when it ingressed into the switching fabric.

Marking is performed according to a global table that maps CoS and Color values to the 802.10802.1AD UP bits and maps Color values to the DEI or CFI bits. If Marking is enabled on a s CoS and Color of frames egressing the service via that service point are overwritten according to global mapping table.

If marking and CoS preservation for the relevant outer VLAN are both disabled, marking is applied according to the Green frame values in the global marking table.

If CoS preservation is enabled, an added VLAN always has UP and DEI set to 0.

Enabling Marking

Marking is enabled and disabled on the service point level. See Ethernet Service Points – Egress Attributes.

Configuring WRED

This section includes:

• WRED Overview
- Configuring WRED Profiles
- Assigning WRED Profiles to Queues

WRED Overview

Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) enables differentiation between higher and lower priority t based on CoS. You can define up to 30 WRED profiles. Each profile contains a green traffic cu yellow traffic curve. This curve describes the probability of randomly dropping frames as a function queue occupancy.

The system also includes two pre-defined read-only profiles. These profiles are assigned profile IDs 32:

• Profile number 31 defines a tail-drop curve and is configured with the following values:

- 100% Yellow traffic drop after 64kbytes occupancy.

- 100% Green traffic drop after 128kbytes occupancy.

- Profile number 32 defines a profile in which all will be dropped. It is for internal use and applied to traffic.

A WRED profile can be assigned to each queue. The WRED profile assigned to the queue dete whether or not to drop incoming packets according to the occupancy of the queue. As the que occupancy grows, the probability of dropping each incoming frame increases as well. As a consequ statistically more TCP flows will be restrained before traffic congestion occurs.

TBD12.8.5For Ethernet ports:

  • All memory is shared among all the queues
  • There is no guaranteed minimum queue size
    • The default maximum queue size is 128 KB (set by the default WRED profile)
  • The maximum queue size can be 1.25 MB (regardless of the WRED setting)

- The maximum queue size is not guaranteed and depends on the traffic load. For radio ports, queue size can be configured up to a maximum of 8 MB.

TBD12.8With respect to queue size, note the following:

  • All memory is shared among all the queues
  • There is no guaranteed minimum queue size
  • The default maximum queue size is 128 KB (set by the default WRED profile)
    • The maximum queue size can be 1.25 MB (regardless of the WRED setting)
  • The maximum queue size is not guaranteed and depends on the traffic load

Scheduling Overview

Scheduling determines the priority among the queues. PTP 850 provides a unique hierarchical scheme model that includes four priorities, with Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) within each priority, and share port and per queue.

The scheduler scans the queues and determines which queue is ready to transmit. If more than is ready to transmit, the scheduler determines which queue transmits first based on:

- Queue Priority – A queue with higher priority is served before lower-priority queues.

- Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) – If two or more queues have the same priority and are real transmit, the scheduler transmits frames from the queues based on a WFQ algorithm that detect the ratio of frames per queue based on a predefined weight assigned to each queue.

Configuring Priority Profiles

Scheduling priority profiles determine the queue priority. Each profile contains eight CoS-based priority corresponding to eight queues in an interface to which the profile is assigned. You can configure eight priority profiles. A ninth profile, Profile ID 9, is pre-configured. You can configure Green price 4 (highest) to 1 (lowest). An additional four Yellow priority profiles are defined automatically.

WFQ Overview

The scheduler serves the queues based on their priority, but when two or more queues have d transmit and their priority is the same, the scheduler uses Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) to deter weight within each priority. WFQ defines the transmission ratio between the queues.

The system supports up to six queue WFQ profiles. Profile ID 1 is a pre-defined read-only profile used as the default profile. Profiles 2 to 6 are user-defined profiles.

The following table provides an example of a queue WFQ profile.

Configuring and Displaying Queue-Level PMs

PTP 850 devices support advanced traffic PMs per CoS queue and service bundle. For each logi interface, you can configure thresholds for Green and Yellow traffic per queue. You can then disp following PMs for 15-minute and 24-hour intervals, per queue and color:

• Maximum bytes passed per second
• Minimum bytes passed per second
• Average bytes passed per second
• Maximum bytes dropped per second
• Minimum bytes dropped per second
• Average bytes dropped per second
• Maximum packets passed per second
• Minimum packets passed per second
• Average packets passed per second
• Maximum packets dropped per second
• Minimum packets dropped per second
• Average packets dropped per second

- Seconds bytes per second were over the configured threshold per interval

These PMs are available for any type of logical interface, including groups. To activate collection PMs, the user must add a PM collection rule on a logical interface and service bundle and set thresholds per CoS and Color. When the PM is configured on a group, queue traffic PMs are the group and not for the individual interfaces that belong to the group.

One collection rule is available per interface.

P2P services are not affected by G.8032, and continue to traverse ports that are bloc G.8032.

G.8032 cannot be configured on management ports.

ERPS, as defined in the G.8032 ITU standard, is currently the most advanced ring protection prot providing convergence times of sub-50ms. ERPS prevents loops in an Ethernet ring by guaranteeing at any time, traffic can flow on all except one link in the ring. This link is called the Ring P (RPL). Under normal conditions, the RPL is blocked, i.e., not used for traffic. One designated Ethe Node, the RPL Owner Node, is responsible for blocking traffic at one end of the RPL. When ar ring failure occurs, the RPL Owner unblocks its end of the RPL, allowing the RPL to be used other Ethernet Ring Node adjacent to the RPL, the RPL Neighbor Node, may also participate in unblocking its end of the RPL. A number of ERP instances (ERPIs) can be created on the same

MSTP Overview

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - MSTP Overview - 1

Note

P2P services are not affected by MSTP, and continue to traverse ports that are blocked MSTP.

MSTP cannot be configured on management ports, including management ports used for traffic.

MSTP, as defined in IEEE 802.1q, provides full connectivity for frames assigned to any given VLAI throughout a bridged LAN consisting of arbitrarily interconnected bridges.

With MSTP, an independent multiple spanning tree instance (MSTI) is configured for each group of services, and only one path is made available (unblocked) per spanning tree instance. This prevents network loops and provides load balancing capability. It also enables operators to differentiate among Ethernet services by mapping them to different, specific MSTIs. The maximum number of MSTIs is configurable, from 2 to 16.

MSTP is an extension of, and is backwards compatible with, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).

Mapping Ethernet Services to MSTP instances (MSTIs)

Ethernet services can be mapped to MSTP instances (MSTIs) in the Instances per Service Mapping of the Ethernet General Configuration page. All mapping of Ethernet services to MSTP instances (M should be performed before enabling MSTP.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Mapping Ethernet Services to MSTP instances (MSTIs) - 1

Note

Ethernet service-to-MSTI mapping is also a prerequisite to configuring G.8032. See Configuring_G.8032.

To map Ethernet services to MSTP instances (MSTIs):

  1. Select Ethernet > General Configuration. The Ethernet General Configuration page opens (Ethernet General _Configuration _Page).
  2. In the Instance per Service Mapping table, select the Service ID of the service you want to

ETH-BN Overview

Ethernet Bandwidth Notification (ETH-BN) is defined by the Y.1731 OAM standard. The purpose of E is to inform the L2 or L3 customer switch of the capacity of the radio link in transmit direction, the switch to respond to fluctuations in the radio link by, for example, reconfiguring the shaper egress port facing the radio link or rerouting traffic to other egress ports.

Once ETH-BN is enabled, the radio unit reports bandwidth information to upstream third-party switch. The ETH-BN entity creates a logical relationship between a radio interface, called the Monitored In and an Ethernet interface, called the Control Interface. When bandwidth degrades from the nominal in the Monitored Interface, messages relaying the actual bandwidth values (BNM frames) are periodic sent over the Control Interface. Once the bandwidth returns to its nominal level, BNM messages longer sent. Optionally, the device can be configured to send BNM frames even when bandwidth nominal level.

The Monitored Interface can be a single radio interface, a Multi-Carrier ABC group, a Multiband g radio LAG. To be used as a Monitored Interface, the LAG must consist of radio interfaces only.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - ETH-BN Overview - 1

Note

The Control Interface can be a single Ethernet interface or an Ethernet LAG. To be u Control Interface, the LAG must consist of Ethernet interfaces only. When the Control

Interface is a LAG, EBN messages are only sent to the first active member of the L

The same radio interface can be configured as a Monitored Interface for multiple EBN instances. an Ethernet interface can only be configured as a Control Interface for a single EBN instance.

  1. In the Is Always Sent field, specify whether periodic BNM frames should be sent even when there is no bandwidth degradation in the monitored interface:

  2. True - BNM frames are always sent, even when the bandwidth is at its nominal value.

  3. False – BNM frames are only sent when the current bandwidth is lower than the nominal bandwidth (default value).

  4. In the Tx Period field, specify how often messages are transmitted when Is Always Sent is set to True or, if not, when bandwidth is below the nominal value. Options are:

  5. One second

  6. Ten seconds (default)
  7. Sixty seconds

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

If the Holdoff Time is set to 0, then if the bandwidth drops below the nomia a BNM frame is transmitted immediately.

  1. In the Holdoff Time field, specify the amount of time (in seconds) the system waits when bandwidth degradation occurs, before transmitting a message. If the bandwidth is below the nominal value the holdoff period ends, the system starts transmitting messages. Options are 0-10. The default is 0. For Link Bonding configurations, it is recommended to leave the default value of 0 so frames will be sent immediately to the Link Bonding group on the main unit.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

If the bandwidth fluctuates before the Holdoff Time expires, and is lower than the nominal bandwidth when the Holdoff Time expires, the first BNM frame sent when timer expires gives the lowest bandwidth that was recorded while the timer was run. Subsequent BNM frames are sent with the actual current bandwidth.

LLDP Overview

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral layer 2 protocol that can be used by a element attached to a specific LAN segment to advertise its identity and capabilities and to receive and capacity information from physically adjacent layer 2 peers. LLDP is a part of the IEEE 802 standard that enables automatic network connectivity discovery by means of a port identity informat exchange between each port and its peer. Each port periodically sends and also expects to receive called Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Units (LLDPDU). LLDPDUs contain information in TLV form about port identity, such as MAC address and IP address.

LLDP is used to send notifications to the NMS, based on data of the local unit and data gath systems. These notifications enable the NMS to build an accurate network topology.

Synchronization

This section includes:

  • Configuring the Sync Source
  • Configuring the Outgoing Clock and SSM Messages
  • Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock
  • Configuring 1588 Boundary Clock
    • Disabling 1588 PTP

Configuring the Sync Source

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring the Sync Source - 1

Note

To configure a sync source on which the sync source Quality parameter is set accord ANSI specifications, you must change the ETSI/ANSI mode to ANSI before configuring the sync source. See Changing the ETSI/ANSI Mode (CLI).

An interface with an electrical SFP module cannot be used as a Sync source.

The frequency signals can be taken by the system from Ethernet and radio interfaces.

The reference frequency may also be conveyed to external equipment through different interfaces. instructions how to configure the outgoing clock, see Configuring the Outgoing Clock and SSM Messages.

Frequency is distributed by configuring the following parameters in each node:

- System Synchronization Sources – These are the interfaces from which the frequency is taken distributed to other interfaces. Up to 16 sources can be configured in each node. A revertive be configured. For each interface, you must configure:

- Priority (1-16) – No two synchronization sources can have the same priority.

Quality – The quality level applied to the selected synchronization source. This enables the system to select the source with the highest quality as the current synchronization source.

• Each unit determines the current active clock reference source interface:

° The interface with the highest available quality is selected.

- From among interfaces with identical quality, the interface with the highest priority is selected

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

You can configure a revertive timer for the PTP 850 unit. When the revertive timer is configured, the unit will not switch to another synchronization source unless that source been stable for at least the number of seconds defined in the revertive timer. This h prevent a situation in which numerous switchovers occur when a synchronization source reports a higher quality for a brief time interval, followed by a degradation of the sour quality. By default, the revertive timer is set to 0, which means that it is disabled. Configuration of the revertive timer must be performed via CLI. See Configuring the Re Timer (CLI).

When configuring the Sync source, the Sync mode must be set to its default setting of automat display the current Sync mode, enter the following CLI command in root view:

root> platform sync mode show

If the Sync mode is set to pipe, you must set it to automatic by entering the following CLI view:

root> platform sync mode set automatic

When configuring an Ethernet interface as a Sync source, the Media Type of the interface must be SFP, not Auto-Type. To view and configure the Media Type of an Ethernet interface, see Configuring Ethernet Interfaces.

Viewing the Sync Source Status

To view the current sync source and its quality:

  1. Select Sync > Sync Source. The Sync Source page opens.

  1. In the Sync Interface field, select the interface you want to define as a synchronization source. You can select from the following interface types:

  2. Ethernet interfaces

  3. Radio interface.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Adding a Sync Source - 2

Note

In order to select an Ethernet interface, you must first specify the media type interface. See Configuring Ethernet Interfaces.

  1. In the Sync Interface Quality field, select the quality level applied to the selected synchronization source. This enables the system to select the source with the highest quality as the current synchronization source.

- If the Sync Interface Quality is set to Automatic, the quality is determined by the received SSMs. If no valid SSM messages are received or in case of interface failure (such as LOS, LOS) quality becomes Failure. SSM must be enabled on the remote interface in order for the to receive SSM messages. For instructions how to enable SSM, see Configuring the Outgoi Clock and SSM Messages.

- If the Sync Interface Quality is set to a fixed value, then the quality status becomes Failure upon interface failure (such as LOS, LOC, LOF).

  1. In the Sync Interface Priority field, select the priority of this synchronization source relative to other synchronization sources configured in the unit (1-16). You cannot assign the same priority to one synchronization source. Once a priority value has been assigned, it no longer appears in the Sync Interface Priority dropdown list.

  2. Click Apply, then Close.

  2. Click Delete. The synchronization source is deleted.

Configuring the Outgoing Clock and SSM Messages

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring the Outgoing Clock and SSM Messages - 1

Note

Under certain circumstances in which an adequate clock signal is unavailable, an interface may go from locked state to holdover state. Normally, when an interface is in holdover it uses stored data to determine its outgoing clock. However, you can set the unit to default quality of DNU (Do Not Use) to any interface in holdover state via the CLI. I instructions, see Changing the Default Quality (CLI).

In the Outgoing Clock page, you can view and configure the following synchronization settings per interface:

  • The interface's clock source (outgoing clock).
  • For radio interfaces, the synchronization radio channel (used for interoperability).
  • SSM message administration.

In order to provide topological resiliency for synchronization transfer, PTP 850EX implement the pass of SSM messages over the radio interfaces. SSM timing in PTP 850EX complies with ITU-T G.781.

In addition, the SSM mechanism provides reference source resiliency, since a network may have m than one source clock. The following are the principles of operation:

  • At all times, each source interface has a “quality status” which is determined as follows:
    ° If quality is configured as fixed, then the quality status becomes “failure” upon interface failure as LOS, LOC, LOF).
    ° If quality is automatic, then the quality is determined by the received SSMs. If no valid SS messages are received or in case of interface failure (such as LOS, LOC, LOF), the quality "failure."
  • Each unit holds a parameter which indicates the quality of its reference clock. This is the qu current synchronization source interface.
    • The reference source quality is transmitted through SSM messages to all relevant radio interface
  • In order to prevent loops, an SSM with quality “Do Not Use” is sent from the active source (both radio and Ethernet)

In order for an interface to transmit SSM messages, SSM must be enabled on the interface. By is disabled on all interfaces.

When configuring the outgoing clock and SSM administration, the Sync mode must be set to its setting of automatic. To display the current Sync mode, enter the following CLI command in root root> platform sync mode show

If the Sync mode is set to pipe, you must set it to automatic by entering the following CLI view:

root> platform sync mode set automatic

To configure the outgoing clock on an Ethernet interface, the Media Type of the interface must be SFP, not Auto-Type. To view and configure the Media Type of an Ethernet interface, see Configuring Ethernet Interfaces.

To view and configure the synchronization parameters of the unit's interfaces:

  1. Select Sync > Outgoing Clock. The Outgoing Clock page opens.

Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock

PTP 850 uses 1588v2-compliant Transparent Clock to counter the effects of delay variation. TranspaClock measures and adjusts for delay variation, enabling the PTP 850 to guarantee ultra-low PDV.

A Transparent Clock node resides between a master and a slave node, and updates the timestep PTP packets passing from the master to the slave to compensate for delay, enabling the terminal in the slave node to remove the delay accrued in the Transparent Clock node. The Transparent node is itself neither a master nor a slave node, but rather, serves as a bridge between master nodes.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock - 1

Note

1588 TC is not supported when Master-Slave communication is using the IPv6 transport. It is recommended to ensure that the PTP service uses the same type of equipment physical connection (SFP or RJ-45) on both sides of the radio link. This makes Transp Clock timestamping more accurate.

Make sure to enable Transparent Clock on the remote side of the link before enabling the local side.

PTP phase alignment relies on symmetric delay between the timestamping units. Therefore, to ensure best results, it is recommended to use the same port speed (e.g., 10 Gbps), media type (e.g., RJ and equipment type (e.g., PTP 850EX) on both sides of the link.

To configure Transparent Clock:

  1. Add the port receiving synchronization from the customer side as a Sync source, with Sync Priority 1. See Adding a Sync Source.
  2. Add a radio interface as a Sync source, with lower priority than the port receiving synchroniz the customer side. See Adding a Sync Source.
  3. On the remote side of the radio link, add the radio interface facing the local device as a with Sync Interface Priority 1. See Adding a Sync Source.
  4. On the remote side of the radio link, if there is an Ethernet port conveying synchronization, port as a Sync source, with lower priority than the radio interface. See Adding a Sync Source
  5. Verify that the Sync Interface Quality Status of the first Sync source is not Failure. See Viewing the Sync Source Status.

  2. 11588 packets should be mapped to CoS 7. By default, 1588 packets are not mapped to any CoS. To map 1588 packets to CoS 7, you must disable CoS preservation for 1588 packets. This must performed via CLI, using the following command:

root> ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve set admin disable

  1. To map 1588 packets to CoS 7, enter the following command:

root> ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve cos value 7

After you enter these commands, 1588 packets will automatically be mapped to CoS 7.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

If necessary, you can use the ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve cos value command to map a different CoS value (0-7) to 1588 packets, but it is recommended map 1588 packets to CoS 7.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

Disabling 1588 PTP can significantly impair time synchronization performance in the entire network.

Configuring 1588 Boundary Clock

Boundary Clock complies with ITU-T Telecom Profile G.8275.1. This enables PTP 850, with Boundary Clock, to meet the rigorous synchronization requirements of 5G networks.

The Boundary Clock in PTP 850 supports up to 16 1588 slave clock devices.

The Boundary Clock terminates the PTP flow it receives on the slave port, recovers the time an and regenerates the PTP flow on the master ports.

The Boundary Clock node selects the best synchronization source available in the domain and regenerates PTP towards the slave clocks. This reduces the processing load from grandmaster clock increases the scalability of the synchronization network, while rigorously maintaining timing accuracy.

The PTP 850 Boundary Clock mechanism requires the use of untagged Ethernet multicast PTP packet specified in G.8275.1.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring 1588 Boundary Clock - 1

Note

Boundary Clock and Transparent Clock can be used together in the same device.

  • 1588 BC can only be used in a chain or star topology. It cannot be used in a topology.
  • 1588 BC is not supported when Master-Slave communication is using the IPv6 transp layer.

User Configuration Overview

User configuration is based on the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. According to the RB model, permissions to perform certain operations are assigned to specific roles. Users are assigned particular roles, and through those role assignments acquire the permissions to perform particular s) functions.

In the PTP 850 GUI, these roles are called user profiles. Up to 50 user profiles can be configured profile contains a set of privilege levels per functionality group, and defines the management protocol (access channels) that can be used to access the system by users to whom the user profile is

The system parameters are divided into the following functional groups:

  • Security
  • Management
  • Radio
    • TDM

The RADIUS protocol provides centralized user management services. PTP 850 supports RADIUS server and provides a RADIUS client for authentication and authorization. When RADIUS is enabled, a user attempting to log into the system from any access channel (CLI, WEB, NMS) is not authenticated. Instead, the user's credentials are sent to a centralized standard RADIUS server which indicates to 850 whether the user is known, and which privilege is to be given to the user.

The following RADIUS servers are supported:

  • FreeRADIUS
    • RADIUS on Windows Server (IAS)
  • Windows Server 2008

You can define up to two Radius servers. If you define two, one serves as the primary server as the secondary server.

Activating RADIUS Authentication

To activate RADIUS authentication:

  1. Select Platform > Security > User Access Control > Remote Access Control > Configuration. The Remote Access Control Configuration page opens.

Configuring a RADIUS Server

If you want to use the PTP 850 RADIUS feature, you must first install a RADIUS server and c work with the PTP 850 device.

The following subsections describe how to configure a Win2008 RADIUS server and a Linux FreeF server to work with an PTP 850. For the sake of simplicity, the subsections describe how to draw users: an Advanced user with Advanced read/write permissions, a Normal user with regular read/write permissions, and a Viewer user with no read/write permissions.

These twelve attributes define the Read access level (None, Regular, or Advanced), and the Write access level (None, Regular, or Advanced) for each of the functional groups (Ethernet, Management, Radio, Security, Sync, TDM). Therefore, in the Attribute value field enter the value corresponding to the access level you wish to permit to members of the group whose policy you are configuring, where:

TDM is not relevant for PTP 850EX.

2 = Advanced

1 = Regular

0 = None

Thus for example, enter 2 for all twelve attributes if you are configuring a policy Radius_Advanced group. This gives Advanced read permissions and Advanced write permissions, for all six functional groups, to the members of the Radius_Advanced group.

Configuring a Linux FreeRADIUS Server

The following sub-sections describe how to configure a Linux FreeRADIUS server to work with an device.

To so do, you will need to modify the following files:

• /etc/raddb/users
• /etc/raddb/clients.conf
- /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.Cambium
• /etc/raddb/dictionary

Step 1 - Creating Users

This step describes how to create the following three users:

  • u1 - with advanced read/write privileges, password 1111
  • u2 – with normal read/write privileges, password 2222
  • u3 - with no read/write privileges, password 3333

To create these RADIUS users:

  1. Add the users in the /etc/raddb/users file, using any editor you like, according to the following example:
<h1 id="user1-advanced-privileges">user1 - advanced privileges</h1>
u1 auth-type := local, Cleartext-Password := "1111"
security-ro = advanced, 
security-wo = advanced,
mng-ro = advanced,
mng-wo = advanced,
radio-ro = advanced,
radio-wo = advanced,
tdm-ro = advanced,
tdm-wo = advanced,
eth-ro = advanced,
eth-wo = advanced,
sync-ro = advanced,
sync-wo = advanced,
access_channel = u1accesschannel,
fall-through = yes
<h1 id="user2-regular-privileges">user2 - regular privileges</h1>
u2 auth-type := local, Cleartext-Password := "2222"
security-ro = regular,
security-wo = regular,
mng-ro = regular,
mng-wo = regular,
radio-ro = regular,
radio-wo = regular,
tdm-ro = regular,
tdm-wo = regular,
eth-ro = regular,
eth-wo = regular,
sync-ro = regular,
sync-wo = regular,
access_channel = u2accesschannel,
fall-through = yes
<h1 id="user3-no-privilege-viewer">user3 - no privilege (viewer)</h1>
u3 auth-type := local, Cleartext-Password := "3333"
security-ro = none,
security-wo = none, 
mng-ro = none,
mng-wo = none,
radio-ro = none,
radio-wo = none,
tdm-ro = none,
tdm-wo = none,
eth-ro = none,
eth-wo = none,
sync-ro = none,
sync-wo = none,
access_channel = u3accesschannel,
fall-through = yes 
  1. Save the changes in the /etc/raddb/users file.

Step 2 - Defining the Permitted Access Channels

The access_channel of each user we configured in the /etc/raddb/users file, defines the channels which that user is allowed to access the unit.

This is done by summing the values corresponding to the allowed channels, where the values are

<h3 id="none-0">none 0</h3>
<h3 id="serial-1">serial 1</h3>
<h3 id="telnet-2">telnet 2</h3>
<h3 id="ssh-4">ssh 4</h3>
<h3 id="web-8">web 8</h3>
<h3 id="nms-16">nms 16</h3>
<h3 id="snmp-32">snmp 32</h3>
<h3 id="snmpv3">snmpV3</h3>

For example:

  • The value 127 denotes permission to access the device from all channels:
  • The value 24 indicates permission to access the device only from the Web + NMS channels.
Serial + Telnet + SSH + Web + NMS + SNMP +SNMPv3 

To define each user's access channels:

  1. In the usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.Cambium file, configure the values of the access channels according to the following example:

### access channel for ul user:

serial+telnet+ssh+web+nms+snmp+snmpV4

VALUE ACCESS_CHANNEL u1accesschannel 127

  1. Save the changes to the usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.Cambium file.

Step 3 - Specifying the RADIUS client

This step describes how to define a device as a RADIUS client. The RADIUS server accepts attention to connect to a device only if that is device is defined as a RADIUS client.

To define a device as a RADIUS client:

  1. In the /etc/raddb/clients.conf file, add the device according to the following example.
- The example shows how to add an PTP 850 device with IP address 192.168.1.118:
<h1 id="ip50-ex">IP50-EX</h1>
client 192.168.1.118 {
    secret = default_not_applicable
    shortname = Cambium-PTP 850
} 

- Keep in mind:

The secret must be between 22 and 128 characters long. Note down the secret because need to enter the same value in the Secret field of the Radius Configuration – Edit page (Radius Configuration – Edit Page).

The shortname is not mandatory, but should be added, and should be different for each client.

  1. Save the changes to the /etc/raddb/clients.conf file.

Step 4 - Adding a call to the Cambium Dictionary File

To add a call to the Cambium dictionary file:

  1. Add the following at the end of the /etc/raddb/dictionary file, using any editor you like:

include the dictionary.Cambium file

\$INCLUDE dictionary.Cambium

  1. Save the changes in the /etc/raddb/dictionary file.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - include the dictionary.Cambium file - 1

Note

Make sure to use absolute path mode if the target file is located in a different For example:

\$INCLUDE ../share/freeradius/dictionary.Cambium)

Step 5 - Restarting the RADIUS server

After configuring all of the above, restart the RADIUS process.

To restart the RADIUS process:

  1. Stop the process by entering:

killall -9 radiusd

  1. Start the process running in the background by entering:

radius -X &

Configuring TACACS+

This section includes:

• TACACS+ Overview
- Activating TACACS+ Authentication and Authorization
- Configuring the TACACS+ Server Attributes
- Configuring a TACACS+ Server

TACACS+ Overview

The TACACS+ protocol provides centralized user management services. TACACS+ separates the functions of Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). It enables arbitrary length and content authentication exchanges, in order to support future authentication mechanisms. It is extensible to p for site customization and future development features, and uses TCP to ensure reliable communication

PTP 850 supports TACACS+ with authentication, authorization, and accounting. Using TACACS+, the I 850 device acts as the client, working with a TACACS+ server to authenticate and authorize user

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - TACACS+ Overview - 1

Note

PTP 850 supports session-based TACACS+ authorization, but not command-based.

When TACACS+ is enabled, a user attempting to log into the system from any access channel (NMS) is not authenticated locally. Instead, the user's credentials are sent to a centralized standard TACACS+ server which indicates to the PTP 850 device whether the user is known, and which to be given to the user.

When a user successfully logs in or logs out of the device via TACACS+, the device sends an packet to the TACACS+ server packet which contains the following information:

  • User Name
  • User IP Address
    • Time and Date of Connection
  • Connection port on the device

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

This information is also written to the device's Security Log.

Cambium's TACACS+ solution is compliant with any standard TACACS+ server. Testing has been performed, and interoperability confirmed, with the following TACACS+ servers:

• Cisco ISE - Version 2.6.0.156
- Tacacs.net - Version 1.2
- tac_plus version F4.0.4.27a

You can define up to four TACACS+ servers. When a user attempts to log into the device, the attempts to contact the first user-defined TACACS+ server to authenticate the user. If no response received from the server within the user-defined timeout period (1-60 seconds), the device tries again contact the server up to the user-configured number of retries (1-5). Then, if no response is received, the device attempts to contact the second user-defined TACACS+ server. If no response received from any of the servers, the device performs user authentication locally.

Activating TACACS+ Authentication and Authorization

Before activating TACACS+, make sure to configure the TACACS+ servers and the TACACS+ server attributes. See:

  • Configuring the TACACS+ Server Attributes
  • Configuring a TACACS+ Server

The TACACS+ server configuration must be complete before you activate TACACS+ because as soon you activate TACACS+ by clicking Apply at the end of this procedure, all active sessions are then and you must log in again via TACACS+.

To activate TACACS+ authentication:

  1. Select Platform > Security > User Access Control > Remote Access Control > Configuration. The Remote Access Control Configuration page opens.

Configuring the TACACS+ Server Attributes

To configure the TACACS+ server attributes:

  1. Select Platform > Security > User Access Control > Remote Access Control > Configuration. The Remote Access Control Configuration page opens (Remote Access Control Configuration Page (TACACS+)).

  2. In the TACACS+ Configuration table, select the line that corresponds to the TACACS+ server want to configure. When the device attempts to authenticate a user, the device attempts to do the first server in the list (Server ID 1). If no response is received from the server within the defined timeout period:

  3. If the TACACS+ Retries field is set to 1, the device attempts to contact the second server in the list, then the third, then the fourth. If no response is received from any of the servers, performs user authentication locally.

  4. If the TACACS+ Retries field is set to a number greater than 1, the device attempts to contact the first server again, up to the configured number of retries. The device then repeats the pin the second server in the list, then the third, then the fourth. If no response is received the servers, the device performs user authentication locally.

  5. Click Edit. The TACACS+ Configuration Table - Edit page opens.

  1. Click Apply, then Close.

In addition to the configurable parameters described above, the TACACS+ Configuration Table in the Remote Access Control Configuration page displays the following information for each TACACS+ serv

- Server Id - The server ID of the server (1-4).

- Last Connection Attempt – The connectivity status of the TACACS+ server in the last attempt connection:

- Succeeded - The last connection attempt succeeded.

- Failed – The last connection attempt failed. In the event of failure, this column displays the reason for the failure:

Server unreachable – This includes failure to reach the server for any reason, including an erroneous server address.

Secret mismatch or server issue – The shared secret configured on the device does not share secret of the TACACS+ server.

Illegal server address – This includes instances in which the server address is set to its default (0.0.0.0) or another illegal IP address.

Configuring a TACACS+ Server

To work with TACACS+, you must configure at least one and up to four TACACS+ servers. For refer to the documentation for the server type you are using.

Use the following guidelines to ensure that the TACACS+ server will interoperate properly with the 850 device.

• The TACACS+ server must be able to accept authentication modes ASCII, PAP, and CHAP.

- It is recommended to configure the privilege levels as follows, regardless of which type of TA server you are using:

  • service=microwave
    ○ protocol=ip
    • priv-|vl=0/1/15

These privilege levels are mapped to local users as follows:

privilege level 0 = viewer

privilege level 1 = tech

privilege level 15 = admin

- Configure RBAC roles as follows. These roles are vendor-specific attributes. can be rep with none, normal, or advanced:

○ service=microwave
○ protocol=ip
- security_read=
- security_write=
° mng_read=
- mng_write=
- radio_read=
- radio_write=
° tdm_read=
° tdm_write=
- eth_read=
- eth_write=
- sync_read=
- sync_write=

access_control=all_channels / web+ssh+telnet+serial+nms (any combination of these channels, separated by “+”. For example: web+ssh. For privileges on all channels, use all_channels, while the same as web+ssh+telnet+serial+nms.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring a TACACS+ Server - 1

Note

If a user logs in using a channel that is not included in the user's account (e authenticates using the Web but access_control=ssh is configured in the server for user's account), the user will log in successfully but no information will be displayed and the user will be unable to perform any actions on the unit.

- Privilege level overwrite has specific attributes and combines privilege levels and RBAC roles. Overwrite privilege levels can be configured as follows:

- Overwrite for privilege level 0:

service=microwave
protocol=ip
priv-lvl=0/1/15
security_read=advanced 
security_write=advanced
Overwrite for privilege level 1:
service=microwave
protocol=ip
priv-lvl=0/1/15
radio_read=none
radio_write=none
Overwrite for privilege level 15:
service=microwave
protocol=ip
priv-lvl=0/1/15
security_read=normal
security_write=normal

  2. In the Telnet Admin field, select Enable to enable telnet access or Disable to disable telnet access. By default, telnet access is disabled (Disable).
  3. Click Apply.

Configuring Access Control Lists

You can create rules to limit management traffic, i.e., traffic destined to the logical management i. This includes both in-band and out-of-band management traffic. These rules are added to an access control list. The device maintains separate access control lists for IPv4 addresses and IPv6 address can configure up to 40 rules for each list.

Access control rules can be based on the following criteria:

  • Source IP address
    • Network subnet prefix length
  • Protocol type
  • Destination port

Each rule is either an accept rule or a drop rule. By using combinations of accept and drop rules, you can ensure that only certain traffic is permitted to ingress the management interface. You must be ca configure the correct priority for the rules to ensure that traffic is limited as you intend.

Traffic received by the management interface is checked against the access control list in the order priority configured by the user, from highest priority to lowest priority. Once a matching rule is for rule is applied to accept or drop the packet, and the checking stops for that packet.

For example, to allow only packets from subnet 192.168.1/24 to ingress the management interface, must configure the following rules:

  • Accept packets from any source address in the subnet of 192.168.1.0, prefix 24, any protocol, destination port. The priority for this rule must be higher than the priority for the next rule blocking traffic (e.g. 3).
  • Drop packets from source address 0.0.0.0, prefix 0, any protocol, any destination port. The pri this rule must be lower than the priority for the previous rule accepting packets (e.g., 4).

To configure access control rules:

  1. Select Platform > Security > Access Control List. The Access Control List Configuration page opens.

Figure 331 Access Control List Configuration Page

  1. In the Priority field, select a priority for the rule (1-4000). The lower the number, the higher the priority will be for the rule. For example, a rule with Priority = 1 has the highest priority. Every rule unique Priority value. The default value is 10.

Note

It is recommended to assign priorities in multiples of 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30).

  1. In the Source Address field, enter the source IP address to which the rule will be applied. If the Source Address is set to 0.0.0.0 (IPv4) or 0::0 (IPv6), the rule will be applied to all IP addresses, and the Prefix field (below) will have no meaning.
  2. In the Prefix field, select the network subnet prefix to be validated by the rule. Options are:

• IPv4: 1-32 (default = 1)
• IPv6: 1-128 (default = 1)

  1. In the Protocol field, select a protocol type to which the rule will be applied, or select Any rule to all protocol types. Options are:

• Any
- TCP

• UDP
• ICMP (for IPv6, this appears as ICMPv6)

  1. In the Destination Port field, enter the destination port to which the rule will be applied (0 - 65535). To apply the rule to all ports, enter 0.
  2. In the Action field, select one of the following options:

- Accept – Traffic to which the rule applies is accepted.

- Drop – Traffic to which the rule applies is dropped.

  1. Click Apply. The rule is applied immediately, but is only saved temporarily, and a five-minute failsafe timer begins, as shown in Access Control List Configuration Page – Failsafe Timer. To confirm the rule, click Keep Changes. To reject the changes, click Revert. If you do not click Keep Changes or Revert within the timeout period, the rule is discarded.

Rules that have not yet been confirmed are not included in backup configuration files, and an copied to mate if you perform a copy-to-mate operation before confirming the rule.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

The purpose of the failsafe timer is to ensure that if you accidentally enter a rule causes management connectivity to be lost, the rule will be discarded and management restored in five minutes, with no user intervention required. A single timer runs for IPv4 and IPv6, starting with the first rule configured for either IPv4 or IPv6.

Configuring Syslog

Syslog can be used to send Security Log, Event Log, and Configuration Log messages to up to external Syslog servers. This can simplify network monitoring and maintenance for operators by ena them to centralize troubleshooting and monitoring information for multiple network elements in a sin location.

Syslog Overview

PTP 850's implementation of Syslog uses UDP protocol on port 514. The protocol and port are configurable.

Syslog messages include the IP address of the device. This IP address is sent in the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) configured for the unit. See Defining the IP Protocol Version for Initiating Communications.

Optionally, for extra security you can enable TLS-based Secure Syslog. This enables server authenti which means the client authenticates the Syslog server. This provides an extra layer of protection various types of security threats, including masquerade, modification, and disclosure threats.

When Secure Syslog is enabled, the device uses the TCP port (6514) for Syslog messages.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Syslog Overview - 1

Note

Secure Syslog requires that the server support TLS 1.2 or higher.

For units with unit redundancy, only the active unit sends Syslog messages. However, Syslog configurations are included in copy-to-mate actions.

Each Syslog message indicates the relevant log as follows:

• Security Log: Local0
- Event Log: Local1
- Configuration Log: Local2

Each Syslog message includes a numerical Priority value that categories messages according to the importance or severity, with lower Priority values indicating greater severity.

The Priority value is calculated according to the following formula:

(Facility Value*8) + Severity Value = Priority Value

The Facility Value is based on the log type, as follows:

• Security Log: 16
- Event Log: 17
- Configuration Log: 18

The Severity value is taken from Syslog Severity Values. The mapping depends on the type of log and the severity of the item, as shown in Syslog Severity Values.

Table 85 Syslog Severity Values

Device Entry TypeSyslog SeveritySyslog Description
Emergency - 0System is unusable
Alert - 1 Action must be taken immediately
Event Log Entry with Severity = Critical Critical - 2 Critical conditions
Event Log Entry with Severity = Major Error - 3 Error conditions
Event Log Entry with Severity = Minor, Warning IndeterminateWarning - 4Warning conditions
Notice - 5Normal but significant condition
Security Log or Configuration Log Entry Informational - 6Informational messages
Debug - 7Debug-level messages

For example, a Major Alarm receives Syslog Priority 139. This is calculated as the Facility Value multiplied by 8, plus 3 based on the mapping in Syslog Severity Values.

Syslog Configuration

You can configure up to two Syslog servers, using either IPv4 or IPv6 format. To configure Syslog

Performing Radio Loopback

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Performing Radio Loopback - 1

Note

To perform radio loopback, the radio must be set to its maximum TX power. For reliability loopback results, the loopback should be performed with the modulation at 1024 QAM or I

Setting radio loopback, either RF or IF, will cause full loss of the end-to-end traffic air band management to remote units. To avoid permanent loss of traffic and in-band management, it is recommended to set a loopback timeout.

Do not change the TX or RX frequencies while radio loopback is active. Doing so with the radio link from being re-established after the loopback has finished.

SOAM Overview

The Y.1731 standard and the MEF-30 specifications define Service OAM (SOAM). SOAM is concerned, detecting, isolating, and reporting connectivity faults spanning networks comprising multiple LANs, including LANs other than IEEE 802.3 media.

Y.1731 Ethernet FM (Fault Management) consists of three protocols that operate together to aid in management:

  • Continuity check
  • Loopback

PTP 850 utilizes these protocols to maintain smooth system operation and non-stop data flow.

The following are the basic building blocks of FM:

  • MD (Maintenance Domain) – An MD defines the management space on a network, typically over and operated by a single entity, for which connectivity faults are managed via SOAM.
  • MA/MEG (Maintenance Association/Maintenance Entity Group) – An MA/MEG contains a set of ME or MIPs.
  • MEP (MEG End Points) – Each MEP is located on a service point of an Ethernet service at of the MEG. By exchanging CCMs (Continuity Check Messages), local and remote MEPs have ability to detect the network status, discover the MAC address of the remote unit/port where MEP is defined, and identify network failures.
  • MIP (MEG Intermediate Points) – Similar to MEPs, but located inside the MEG and can only not initiate, CCM messages.
  • CCM (Continuity Check Message) – MEPs in the network exchange CCMs with their peers at intervals. This enables each MEP to detect loss of connectivity or failure in the remote MEP.

Configuring MDs

In the current release, you can define one MD, with an MD Format of None.

To add an MD:

  1. Select Ethernet > Protocols > SOAM > MD. The SOAM MD page opens.

Configuring MA/MEGs

You can configure up to 256 MEGs per network element. MEGs are classified as Fast MEGs or according to the CCM interval (see SOAM MA/MEG Configuration Parameters):

  • Fast MEGs have a CCM interval of 1 second.
  • Slow MEGs have a CCM interval of 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 10 minutes.

You can configure up to 32 MEP pairs per network element.

MD (ID, Name)Select the MD to which you are assigning the MEP.
MA/MEG IDAutomatically generated by the system. You can change this value.
MA/MEG short nameEnter a name for the MEG (up to 44 alphanumeric characters).
MEG LevelSelect a MEG level (0-7). The MEG level must be the same for MEGs on both sid link. Higher levels take priority over lower levels.If MEGs are nested, the OAM flow of each MEG must be clearly identifiable and se from the OAM flows of the other MEGs. In cases where the OAM flows are not distinguishable by the Ethernet layer encapsulation itself, the MEG level in the OAM fi distinguishes between the OAM flows of nested MEGs.Eight MEG levels are available to accommodate different network deployment scenarios.When customer, provider, and operator data path flows are not distinguishable based on means of the Ethernet layer encapsulations, the eight MEG levels can be shared among them to distinguish between OAM frames belonging to nested MEGs of customers, providers and operators. The default MEG level assignment among customer, provider, and operator roles is:The customer role is assigned MEG levels 6 and 7.The provider role is assigned MEG levels 3 through 5.The operator role is assigned MEG levels: 0 through 2.The default MEG level assignment can be changed via a mutual agreement among customer, provider, and/or operator roles.The number of MEG levels used depends on the number of nested MEs for which OAM flows are not distinguishable based on the Ethernet layer encapsulation.
CCM IntervalThe interval at which CCM messages are sent within the MEG. Options are:100 ms1 second (default)10 seconds1 minute10 minutesIt takes a MEP 3.5 times the CCM interval to determine a change in the status of MEP. For example, if the CCM interval is 1 second, a MEP will detect failure of the seconds after it receives the first CCM failure message. If the CCM interval is 10 m the MEP will detect failure of the peer 35 minutes after it receives the first CCM message.
Service IDSelect an Ethernet service to which the MEG belongs. You must define the service I you configure the MEG.
MHF (MIP) CreationDetermines whether MIPs are created on the MEG. Options are:MHF none - No MIPs are created.MHF default - MIPs are created automatically on any service point in the MEG's Ethernet service.MHF explicit - MIPs are created on the service points of the MEG when a low MEP exists on the service point. This option is usually used when the operator's domain is encompassed by another domain.MHF defer - No MIPs are created. Not used in the current release.

Configuring MEPs

Each MEP is attached to a service point in an Ethernet service. The service and service point configured before you configure the MEP. See Configuring Ethernet Service(s).

Each MEP inherits the same VLAN, C-VLAN, or S-VLAN configuration as the service point on which resides. See Configuring Service Points.

In order to set the VLAN used by CCM/LBM/LTM if the service point is defined ambiguously (for PIPE, Bundle-C, Bundle-S, or All-to-One), the service point's C-VLAN/S-VLAN parameter should not be to N.A.

To configure a MEP, you must:

  1. Add MEPs to the relevant MA/MEG. In this stage, you add both local and remote MEPs. That you define at this point is the MEP ID. See Adding Local and Remote MEPs.
  2. Configure the local MEPs. At this point, you determine which MEPs are local MEPs. The syst automatically defines the other MEPs you configured in the previous step as remote MEPs. Se Configuring the Local MEPs.
  3. Enable the Local MEPs. See Enabling Local MEPs.

Configuring MIPs with MHF Default

If you configure a MEG with the MHF default option, MIPS are created automatically on all servi the service to which the MEG is attached. These MIPs cannot be displayed in the Web EMS, b displayed via CLI. See Displaying MEP and Remote MEP Attributes (CLI).

Creating MIPs is subject to the following limitations:

  • Once you have created a MEG that contains MIPS, i.e., a MEG with the MHF default attribute cannot create a MEG with the MHF none attribute on the same or higher level on the same Service. However, you can create MEGs with the MHF none attribute on the same service or levels then the MEG with the MHF default attribute.
  • MEPs cannot be attached to a MEG with the MHF default attribute.
  • The Ethernet service and service points must already be defined before creating the MEG with MHF default attribute in order for MIPs to be created on the service points.

To configure MEGs with MIPs:

  1. Create a MEG with the MHF none attribute on the intended Ethernet service. See Configuring MA/MEGs.
  2. Select the MEG and click Edit. The SOAM MA/MEG – Edit page opens.
  3. In the MIP Creation field, select MHF Default.
  4. Click Apply, then Close.

General (CLI)

Before a remote connection is established, it is of high importance that you assign to the PTP 8 dedicated IP address, according to an IP plan for the total network. See Changing the Management IP Address (CLI).

By default, a new PTP 850 unit has the following IP settings:

• IP address: 192.168.1.1
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - General (CLI) - 1

Warning!

If the connection over the link is established with identical IP addresses, an IP ad- conflict will occur and remote connection to the element on the other side of the be lost.

Establishing a Connection (CLI)

Connect the PTP 850 unit to a PC by means of a TP cable. The cable is connected to the I the PTP 850 and to the LAN port on the PC. Refer to the Installation Guide for the type of connecting for cable connection instructions.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Establishing a Connection (CLI) - 1

Note

The PTP 850 IP address, as well as the password, should be changed before operating system. See Changing the Management IP Address (CLI) and Changing Your Password (CLI).

PTP 850 products only support strong ciphers for secure communication protocols such as SSH. In cases, this may lead to a failure to connect if your SSH client is using old, less secure cipher it is recommended to update to a new client version using stronger ciphers.

For a list of supported ciphers, refer to Annex A - Supported Ciphers for Secured Communicatio Protocols in the Release Notes for the System Release version you are using.

PC Setup (CLI)

To obtain contact between the PC and the PTP 850 unit, it is necessary to configure an IP address PC within the same subnet as the PTP 850 unit. The default PTP 850 IP address is 192.168.1.1. S address to e.g. 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Note the initial settings before cha

  • The user name string cannot appear in the password, either in order or in reverse order. For if the user name is “admin”, neither of the following passwords are allowed: %Asreadmin!df23 and %Asrenimdaldf23.

See Configuring the Password Security Parameters (CLI).

Configuring In-Band Management (CLI)

You can configure in-band management in order to manage the unit remotely via its radio and/or interfaces.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring In-Band Management (CLI) - 1

Note

Before configuring in-band management, it is recommended to review the configuration recommendations for in-band management listed in Configuration Tips.

Each PTP 850 unit includes a pre-defined management service with Service ID 1025. The manager service is a multipoint service that connects the two local management ports and the network element host CPU in a single service. In order to enable in-band management, you must add at least one point to the management service, in the direction of the remote site or sites from which you want the unit for management. For instructions on adding service points, see Configuring Service Points (CLI).

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

In order to use in-band management, it must be supported on the external switch.

Enabling Dynamic IPv6 Addresses Via DHCPv6 (CLI)

Related Topics:

  • Defining the IP Protocol Version for Initiating Communications (CLI)
  • Configuring the Remote Unit's IP Address (CLI)

Optionally, you can configure the device to obtain its IPv6 address automatically from a DSCP se configure the device to IPv6 Automatic mode, use the following command:

root> platform management ip set ipv6-assignment dhcp

To set the device back to manual mode, use the following command:

root> platform management ip set ipv6-assignment manual

Once IPv6 Automatic mode is enabled, the previously configured IPv6 address is stored but not in the device. It is used again if and when IPv6 Automatic mode is disabled. Therefore, before enable Automatic mode, you should record the IPv6 Link Local Address. To display the IPv6 Link Local use the following command:

root> platform management ip show ipv6-status

This command also indicates whether the current mode is Automatic (DHCP) or Manual. In Manual the IPv6 Address column is populated. It is not populated in Automatic (DHCP) mode.

IPv6 Link Local Address IPv6 Default Gateway IPv6 Address IPv6 Prefix Length

===

root>

After enabling IPv6 Automatic mode, you can use the IPv6 Link Local Address to re-connect to if the DHCPv6 server is unavailable. You can also use the device's IPv4 address.

For configurations with unit redundancy, make sure to perform copy-to-mate as soon as the manage connection is restored, to ensure that in case of switchover, the IPv6 address of the Standby ur with that of the Active unit.

In the event that the Standby unit is to be moved to a different setup, to act as either the unit in that setup, it is recommended to first clear the DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier) in order to duplicate DUIDs in the new setup. To clear the DUID, use the following command:

root> platform management ip reset ipv6-duid

Configuring DSCP/TC for Management (CLI)

In certain situations, management data and user traffic are not separated by VLANs. This happens are untagged or use the same VLAN.

In such cases, you can assign a DSCP (IPv4) or TC (IPv6) value to management data in order it from user traffic. While ingress management packets will have whatever DSCP/TC they were orig assigned, when they egress from the CPU they will carry the assigned DSCP or TC. This enable ensure that management packets from the device have priority and will continue to be sent even there is congestion.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring DSCP/TC for Management (CLI) - 1

Note

By default, the DSCP/TC value assigned to management traffic egressing the device is

The following settings are required for these DSCP/TC settings to work properly:

  • For all logical interfaces, the Trust VLAN UP bits parameter must be set to Un-Trust. See Configuring Ingress Path Classification on a Logical Interface.
  • For the management service, the CoS Mode must be set to Preserve-SP-COS-Decision. See Configuring a Service's CoS Mode and Default CoS (CLI).

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Notes - 1

Notes

It is recommended that the MRMC script configurations be symmetric on both sides of link, including the same script and minimum and maximum ACM profiles.

For a list and description of available profiles, see Radio Profiles for PTP 850EX. Note Profiles 0 and 1 require a special activation key (SL-ACMB). These profiles are used w ACMB, which is an enhancement of ACM that provides further flexibility to mitigate fadi BPSK by reducing the channel spacing to one half or one quarter of the original cha bandwidth when fading conditions make this appropriate.

The following command assigns MRMC script ID 5703, with ACM enabled, a minimum profile of 3 maximum profile of 9, to an PTP 850EX:

radio[1/1]>mrmc set acm-support script-id 5703 modulation adaptive max-profile 9 min-profile 3

Configuring the Radio Parameters (CLI)

In order to establish a radio link, you must:

  • Enter radio view.
  • Verify that the radio is muted (the Mute Status should be On).
  • Configure the radio frequencies.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring the Radio Parameters (CLI) - 1

Note

Even if you are using the default frequencies, it is mandatory to actually configure the frequencies.

  • Configure the TX level.
  • Set Mute Admin to Off.
  • Verify that the radio is unmuted (the Mute Status should be Off).

Entering Radio View (CLI)

To view and configure radio parameters, you must first enter the radio's view level in the CLI.

For PTP 850EX, use the following command to enter radio view:

root> radio slot 1 port 1

The following prompt appears:

radio[1/x]>

Muting and Unmuting a Radio (CLI)

To mute or unmute the radio, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]>rf mute set admin

To configure a timed mute, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]>rf mute set admin on-with-timer timeout-value <1-1440>

When the timer expires, the radio is automatically unmuted. A timed mute provides a fail-safe me for maintenance operations that eliminates the possibility of accidentally leaving the radio muted after maintenance has been completed. By default, the timer is 10 minutes.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Muting and Unmuting a Radio (CLI) - 1

Note

In contrast to an ordinary mute, a timed mute is not persistent. This means that if the reset, the radio is not muted when the unit comes back online, even if the timer has expired. Also, in Unit Redundancy configurations, a timed mute is not copied to the motor or radio, and no mismatch alarm is raised if a timed mute is configured on only one of the protection pair.

To display the mute status of a radio, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]>rf mute show status 

The following command mutes the radio:

radio[1/x]>rf mute set admin on 

The following command unmutes the radio:

radio[1/x]>rf mute set admin off 

The following command configures a timed mute. This mute will automatically expire in 30 minutes

radio[1/x]>rf mute set admin on-with-timer timeout-value 30 

Configuring the Transmit (TX) Frequency (CLI)

To set the transmit (TX) frequency of a radio, enter the following command in radio view. This cor includes an option to set the remote RX frequency in parallel:

radio[1/x]>rf set tx-frequency <0-4294967295> local-remote <enable|disable> 

The following command sets the TX frequency of the radio in an PTP 850EX device to 71000000 sets the RX frequency of the remote unit to the same value.

radio[1/1]> rf set tx-frequency 71000000 local-remote enable 

The following command sets the TX frequency of the radio in an PTP 850EX device to 7100000 does not set the RX frequency of the remote unit.

radio[1/1]> rf set rx-frequency 71000000 local-remote disable 

Configuring the Transmit (TX) Level (CLI)

To set the transmit (TX) level of a radio, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/1]>rf set tx-level <-50-50> 

To display the maximum transmit (TX) level of a radio, enter the following command in radio vie

radio[1/1]>rf show max-tx-level 

The following command sets the TX level of the radio to 10 dBm:

radio[1/1]>rf set tx-level 10 

When Adaptive TX power is enabled, this command determines the maximum TX level, as described. Enabling ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power (CLI).

Enabling ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power (CLI)

When Adaptive TX Power is enabled, the radio adjusts its TX power dynamically based on the modulation. When the modulation is at a high level, the TX power is adjusted to the level require high modulation. If the modulation goes down to a lower level, the TX power increases to compute the lower modulation. The TX level configured by the rf set tx-level command determines the main level, but the actual TX level as shown in the Operational TX Level (dBm) field can be expected when the radio is operating at high modulations requiring less TX power.

To enable Adaptive TX Power, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/1]>rf adaptive-power admin enable 

To disable Adaptive TX Power for a radio, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/1]>rf adaptive-power admin disable 

To display whether Adaptive TX Power is enabled, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/1]>rf adaptive-power show status 

The output of this command is:

radio [x/1]>rf adaptive-power show status 

RF adaptive power admin status: [enable/disable]

RF adaptive power operational status: [up/down]

RF adaptive power operational status: Up means the feature is enabled and fully functional for the link.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Enabling ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power (CLI) - 1

Note

Adaptive TX Power only operates when the MRMC script is configured to Adaptive mode, the script is configured to Fixed mode (or Adaptive mode with the Minimum and Maxi Profile set to the same value), you can set adaptive-power to enable, but the adaptive operational status will be down.

Configuring the RSL Threshold Alarm (CLI)

You can enable an alarm to be triggered in the event that the RSL falls beneath a defined alarm is alarm ID 1610, Radio Receive Signal Level is below the configured threshold. By default, the alarm is disabled.

Configuring NTP (CLI)

PTP 850 supports Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP distributes Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) throughout the system, using a jitter buffer to neutralize the effects of variable latency.

You can configure up to four NTP servers. Each server can be configured using IPv4 or IPv6. Multiple servers are configured, the unit chooses the best server according to the implementation Version 4.2.6p1 of the NTPD (Network Time Protocol Daemon). The servers are continually polled. polling interval is determined by the NTPD, to achieve maximum accuracy consistent with minimum network overhead.

Optionally, for extra security you can enable NTP authentication, as defined in the NTP specification RFC 5905). NTP authentication enables the client to verify the authenticity of the NTP server before synchronizing its clock with the server's time. This can help prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and types of threats that could manipulate the client's clock by providing it with false time information. NTP authentication requires the client and server to have a shared secret key that is used to a the NTP messages exchanged between them. You can define the shared key for the client on it as described below.

To configure an NTP server, enter the following commands in root view:

root> platform management ntp set admin index admin authentication-admin Key-Identifier auth-type shared-secret

To specify the server's IP address, use one of the following commands.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring NTP (CLI) - 1

Note

For each NTP server you configure, you can define an IPv4 address or an IPv6 addr not both.

To configure the NTP server with an IPv4 address, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform management ntp set server ipv4 index <index> ipv4 <ipv4>
ntp-version <ntp-version> 

To configure the NTP server with an IPv6 address, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform management ntp set server ipv4 index <index> ipv4 <ipv6>  
ntp-version <ntp-version> 

To display the current configuration of all the defined NTP servers, enter the following command view:

root> platform management ntp show status 

To display the current configuration and status of all the defined NTP servers, including details that used for debugging, enter the following command in root view:

Configuring ATPC and ATPC Override Timer (CLI)

ATPC is a closed-loop mechanism by which each carrier changes the TX power according to the received across the link, in order to achieve a desired RSL on the other side of the link.

With ATPC, if the radio increases its TX power up to the configured TX power, it can lead to sustained transmission at maximum power, resulting in unacceptable interference with other systems.

In order to minimize interference, PTP 850 provides an ATPC override mechanism. When ATPC over enabled, a timer begins when ATPC raises the TX power to its maximum. When the timer expires enters ATPC override state. In ATPC override state, the radio transmits no higher than the pre-de ATPC override TX level, and an ATPC override alarm is raised. The radio remains in ATPC over until the ATPC override state is manually cancelled by the user (or until the unit is reset). The returns to normal ATPC operation.

In a configuration with Unit Redundancy, the ATPC override state is propagated to the standby u event of switchover.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring ATPC and ATPC Override Timer (CLI) - 1

Notes

When canceling an ATPC override state, you should ensure that the underlying problem been corrected. Otherwise, ATPC may be overridden again.

Note

It is recommended to set the ATPC Reference RX Level to a value that is 10 dB b the RSL threshold for the maximum ACM profile configured for the radio, in order to for normal fluctuations in the link quality.

To display the RX reference level for ATPC, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/1]>atpc show rx-level 

To set an ATPC override timer, enter the following command in radio view:

This section includes:

• Displaying Capacity PMs (CLI)
• Displaying Throughput PMs (CLI)
- Displaying Utilization PMs and Configuring Utilization Thresholds (CLI)

Displaying Capacity PMs (CLI)

You can display capacity PMs for the radio or Multi-Carrier ABC group, based on the total Layer bandwidth (payload plus overheads) sent through the radio or group, in Mbps.

You can also configure a threshold for capacity PMs. The number of seconds during which this exceeded are among the displayed PMs.

Peak counters display the maximum data rate for each interval, with a resolution of one second. means the PM mechanism records the number of bytes sent during each second of the interval displays the number of bytes for the highest one-second period during that interval. So, for exam measuring 15-minute intervals, the PM mechanism chooses the peak value from 900 recorded value that interval (60 seconds multiplied by 15 60-second record periods).

Average counters display the average number of bytes received on the interface measured with a resolution of one second. This means the PM mechanism divides the total number of bytes received during the interval by the total number of seconds in the interval. So, for example, when measured minute intervals, the PM mechanism divides the total number of bytes received during the 15-minute interval by 900.

To display capacity PMs per radio in 15-minute intervals, enter the following command in radio via radio [1/X]> traffic capacity show pm interval 15min

  • The Interface ID of the interface through which the frame entered.
  • The frame's C-VLAN and/or S-VLAN tags.

The Interface Type provides a definitive mapping of each arriving frame to a specific service point specific service. Since more than one service point may be associated with a single interface, fra assigned to the earliest defined service point in case of conflict.

SAP Classification (CLI)

SAPs can be used with the following Interface Types:

  • All to one – All C-VLANs and untagged frames that enter the interface are classified to the service point.
  • Dot1q - A single C-VLAN is classified to the service point.
  • QinQ - A single S-VLAN and C-VLAN combination is classified to the service point.
  • Bundle C-Tag - A set of multiple C-VLANs is classified to the service point.
  • Bundle S-Tag – A single S-VLAN and a set of multiple C-VLANs are classified to the service

SNP Classification (CLI)

SNPs can be used with the following Attached Interface Types:

  • Dot1q - A single C-VLAN is classified to the service point.
  • S-Tag - A single S-VLAN is classified to the service point.

Pipe Service Point Classification (CLI)

Pipe service points can be used with the following Attached Interface Types:

  • Dot1q – All C-VLANs and untagged frames that enter the interface are classified to the same point.
  • S-Tag – All S-VLANs and untagged frames that enter the interface are classified to the same point.

MNG Service Point Classification (CLI)

Management service points can be used with the following Interface Types:

  • Dot1q - A single C-VLAN is classified to the service point.

MAC Address Forwarding Table Overview (CLI)

The device can learn up to 32K Ethernet source MAC addresses. The size of the MAC address the device as a whole, and is not configurable.

When a frame arrives via a specific service point, the learning mechanism checks the MAC forwa table to determine whether that frame's source MAC address is known to the service. If the MA is not found, the learning mechanism adds it to the table under the specific service point.

In parallel with the learning process, the forwarding mechanism searches the service's MAC forward table for the frame's destination MAC address. If a match is found, the frame is forwarded to t point associated with the MAC address. If not, the frame is flooded to all service points in the In addition to the dynamic learning mechanism, you can add static MAC addresses for static rout each service.

You can manually clear all the dynamic entries from the MAC forwarding table. You can also de entries per service.

The system also provides an automatic flush process. An entry is erased from the table as a

Automatic state propagation enables propagation of radio failures back to the Ethernet port. You can configure Automatic State Propagation to close the Ethernet port based on a radio failure at the carrier.

Automatic state propagation is configured as pairs of interfaces. Each interface pair includes one Monitored Interface and one Controlled Interface. You can create multiple pairs using the same Mo Interface and multiple Controlled Interfaces.

The Monitored Interface is a radio interface or Multi-Carrier ABC group. The Controlled Interface is Ethernet interface or LAG. An Ethernet interface can only be assigned to one Monitored interface.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring (CLI) Automatic State Propagation and Link Loss Forwarding - 1

Note

A radio interface that belongs to a LAG group cannot be used as a monitored interface

Each Controlled Interface is assigned an LLF ID. If ASP trigger by remote fault is enabled on the side of the link, the ASP state of the Controlled Interface is propagated to the Controlled Interface same LLF ID at the remote side of the link. This means if ASP is triggered locally, it is proposed to remote side of the link, but only to Controlled Interfaces with LLF IDs that match the LLF IDs. Controlled Interfaces on the local side of the link.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

LLF requires an activation key (SL-LLF). Without this activation key, only LLF ID 1 is a See Configuring the Activation Key (CLI).

The following events in the Monitored Interface trigger ASP:

  • Radio LOF
  • Radio Excessive BER
  • Radio LOC
  • Remote Radio LOF
  • Remote Excessive BER
  • Remote LOC

The user can also configure the ASP pair so that Radio LOF, Radio Excessive BER, or loss of connection at the remote side of the link will also trigger ASP.

In addition, ASP is triggered if the Controlled Interface is a LAG, and the physical interfaces that the LAG are set to Admin = Down in the Interface Manager.

When a triggering event takes place:

  • If the Controlled Interface is an electrical GbE port, the port is closed.
  • If the Controlled Interface is an optical GbE port, the port is muted.

The Controlled Interface remains closed or muted until all triggering events are cleared.

In addition, when a local triggering event takes place, the ASP mechanism sends an indication to remote side of the link. Even when no triggering event has taken place, the ASP mechanism se periodic update messages indicating that no triggering event has taken place.

A trigger delay time can be configured, so that when a triggering event takes place, the ASP I does not propagate the event until this delay time has elapsed. A trigger delay from 0 to 10,000 set per LLD ID.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

It is recommended to configure both ends of the link to the same Automatic State Propagation configuration.

ParameterInput TypePermitted ValuesDescription
trigger-admin
csf-mode-adminVariableenable disableEnables or disables ASP Management Safe mode. In ASP Management Safe mode, the ASP mechanism does not physically shut down the Controlled Interface when ASP is triggered. Instead, the ASP mechanism sends a failure indication message. This message is used to propagate the failure indication to external equipment.
trigger-delayNumber0-10000 Setsa trigger delay time, in milliseconds. When a triggering event takes place, the ASP mechanism does not propagate the event until this delay time has elapsed. By default, the trigger-delay is 0 (no delay time).

The following commands configure and enable automatic state propagation on an PTP 850EX to propagate faults from the radio interface to Ethernet ports 3 and 4. ASP Management Safe mode disabled. Faults on the remote carrier are propagated to the local Ethernet ports as follows:

  • A failure on the remote side of the link is propagated to any of local Ethernet ports 3 or LLF ID with an Ethernet interface in an ASP pair with the remote radio.
  • The trigger delay for Ethernet port 3 is 100 ms. There is no trigger delay for Ethernet port

Configuring Receipt of CSF PDUs (CLI)

When ASP Management Safe mode (CSF) is configured, the peer unit must be configured to receive PDUs. To enable the unit to receive CSF PDUs, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam csf receive set admin enable ifc-down

CSF receive must be enabled in order for G.8032 ERPI topology changes to be initiated upon r CSF PDU.

To disable this setting, enter the following command

root> ethernet soam csf receive set admin disable

The ifc-down parameter should usually be set to Yes. This means that all network protocols, LAG other unit modules will treat the interface on which the CSF PDU was received as Operation State Down. Also, a soam-csf-rdi-alarm will be raised to indicate that that relevant port is set to Operation Status = Down due to ASP triggered by the remote unit.

Configuring the Line Compensation Value for a Rate Meter (Policer) (CLI)

A rate meter can measure CIR and EIR at Layer 1 or Layer 2 rates. Layer 1 capacity is equal capacity plus 20 additional bytes for each frame due to the preamble and Inter Frame Gap (IFG) cases, the preamble and IFG equals 20 bytes, but other values are also possible. Line compensation defines the number of bytes to be added to each frame for purposes of CIR and EIR calculation. Compensation is 20, the rate meter operates as Layer 1. When Line Compensation is 0, the rate operates as Layer 2. This parameter is very important to users that want to distinguish between Layer 2 traffic.

To configure the rate meter (policer) line compensation value for an interface, go to interface view interface and enter the following command:

eth type eth [1/x]>rate-meter-compensation-value set

To display the rate meter (policer) line compensation value for an interface, go to interface view interface and enter the following command:

Configuring Queue Priority (CLI)

A priority profile defines the exact order for serving the eight priority queues in a single service. The priority mechanism distinguishes between two states of the service bundle:

  • Green State – Committed state
  • Yellow State – Best effort state

Green State refers to any time when the service bundle rate is below the user-defined CIR. Yell refers to any time when the service bundle is above the user-defined CIR but below the PIR.

You can define up to four Green priority profiles, from 4 (highest) to 1 (lowest). An additional for priority profiles are defined automatically and cannot be changed or edited.

The following table provides a sample of an interface priority profile. This profile is also used as interface priority profile.

533 RealTime 2 (Video with large buffer)
633 RealTime 1 (Video with small buffer)
744 Management (Sync, PDUs, etc.)

When the service bundle state is Green (committed state), the service bundle priorities are as de the Green Priority column. When the service bundle state is Yellow (best effort state), the service priorities are system-defined priorities shown in the Yellow Priority column.

The following command clears PMs for all queues in Service Bundle 1, on Eth 3:

eth type eth [1/3]> tm-queue clear statistics service-bundle-id 1

Configuring and Displaying Queue-Level PMs (CLI)

PTP 850 devices support advanced traffic PMs per CoS queue and service bundle. For each logi interface, you can configure thresholds for Green and Yellow traffic per queue. You can then disp following PMs for 15-minute and 24-hour intervals, per queue and color:

• Maximum bytes passed per second
• Minimum bytes passed per second
• Average bytes passed per second
• Maximum bytes dropped per second
• Minimum bytes dropped per second
• Average bytes dropped per second
• Maximum packets passed per second
• Minimum packets passed per second
• Average packets passed per second
• Maximum packets dropped per second
• Minimum packets dropped per second
• Average packets dropped per second

- Seconds bytes per second were over the configured threshold per interval

These PMs are available for any type of logical interface, including groups. To activate collection PMs, the user must add a PM collection rule on a logical interface and service bundle and set thresholds per CoS and Color. When the PM is configured on a group, queue traffic PMs are in the group and not for the individual interfaces that belong to the group.

One collection rule is available per interface.

PMs for queue traffic are saved for 30 days, after which they are removed from the database. important to note that they are not persistent, which means they are not saved in the event of To configure and display queue-level PMs, you must first enter interface view. See Entering Interface View (CLI).

To display whether any service bundles are configured on an interface, enter the following comma interface view:

Configuring Timers (CLI)

You can configure timers per ERPI to control the ERPI's switching and convergence parameters. The following timers are available:

  • Wait to Restore (WTR) Timer – Defines a minimum time the system waits after signal failure recovered before reverting to idle state, when the RPL can again be blocked.
  • Guard Time – The guard time is the minimum time the system waits after recovery from a failure before accepting new R-APS messages. The Guard Time should be greater than the ma expected forwarding delay for which one R-APS message circles around the ring.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring Timers (CLI) - 1

Note

The Guard Time is used to prevent Ethernet ring nodes from acting upon outdated R-messages and prevents the possibility of forming a closed loop.

- Hold-Off Time – Determines the time period from failure detection to response. It is used to coordinate between recovery mechanisms (which mechanism takes place first).

root> ethernet ebn ebn-entity-create ebn-name <eb-name> monitored-group-on-slot enhanced-abc monitored-slot 1 monitored-port 1 control-interface <control-interface> control-slot <control-slot> vlan <vlan> 

To create an ETH-BN entity in which the Monitored interface is an individual radio interface and interface is a LAG, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet ebn ebn-entity-create ebn-name <eb-name> monitored-interface <monitored-interface> monitored-slot <monitored-slot> monitored-port <monitored-port> control-group <control-group> vlan <vlan> 

To change the name of an ETH-BN entity, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet ebn ebn-name-set ebn-name <ebn-name> new-ebn-name <ebn-name> 

To set the Admin status of an ETH-BN entity, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet ebn ebn-admin-set ebn-name <ebn-name> admin <admin-state> 

To set the Maintenance Level of messages sent by the ETH-BN entity, enter the following comma view:

root> ethernet ebn ebn-mel-set ebn-name <ebn-name> mel <mel> 

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Notes - 1

root> ethernet ebn ebn-period-set ebn-name period

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

If the holdoff-time is set to 0, then if the bandwidth drops below the nominal value, frame is transmitted immediately.

To set the holdoff time, enter the following command in root view. Holdoff time is the amount of system waits when bandwidth degradation occurs, before transmitting a message. If the bandwidth is below the nominal value when the holdoff period ends, the system starts transmitting messages. F Bonding configurations, it is recommended to leave the default value of 0 so that BNM frames are immediately to the Link Bonding group on the main unit.

root> ethernet ebn ebn-holdoff-set ebn-name holdoff

To clear the messages counter, enter the following command in root view:

Configuring LLDP (CLI)

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral layer 2 protocol that can be used by a element attached to a specific LAN segment to advertise its identity and capabilities and to receive and capacity information from physically adjacent layer 2 peers. LLDP is a part of the IEEE 802 standard that enables automatic network connectivity discovery by means of a port identity information exchange between each port and its peer. Each port periodically sends and also expects to receive

called Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Units (LLDPDU). LLDPDUs contain information in TLV form about port identity, such as MAC address and IP address.

LLDP is used to send notifications to the NMS, based on data of the local unit and data gath systems. These notifications enable the NMS to build an accurate network topology.

Note

To configure a sync source on which the sync source Quality parameter is set accord ANSI specifications, you must change the ETSI/ANSI mode to ANSI before configuring the sync source. See Changing the ETSI/ANSI Mode (CLI).

An interface with an electrical SFP module cannot be used as a Sync source.

The frequency signals can be taken by the system from Ethernet and radio interfaces. The reference frequency may also be conveyed to external equipment through different interfaces.

Frequency is distributed by configuring the following parameters in each node:

  • System Synchronization Sources – These are the interfaces from which the frequency is taken distributed to other interfaces. Up to 16 sources can be configured in each node. For each you must configure:
  • Priority (1-16) – No two synchronization sources can have the same priority.
  • Quality – The quality level applied to the selected synchronization source. This enables the system to select the source with the highest quality as the current synchronization source.
    • Each unit determines the current active clock reference source interface:
  • The interface with the highest available quality is selected.
  • From among interfaces with identical quality, the interface with the highest priority is selected.

When configuring the Sync source, the Sync mode must be set to its default setting of automat display the current Sync mode, enter the following CLI command in root view:

Changing the Default Quality (CLI)

Under certain circumstances in which an adequate clock signal is unavailable, an interface may go locked state to holdover state. Normally, when an interface is in holdover state, it uses stored d determine its outgoing clock. However, you can set the unit to apply a default quality of DNU to any interface in holdover state. To set the default quality to DNU, enter the following CLI cc root view:

root> platform sync default-quality set quality DNU

To set the default quality back to its default value, enter the following CLI command in root vi

root> platform sync default-quality set quality Default

To display the default quality, enter the following CLI command in root view:

root> platform sync default-quality show

Configuring the Revertive Timer (CLI)

You can configure a revertive timer for the unit. When the revertive timer is configured, the unit switch to another synchronization source unless that source has been stable for at least the num seconds defined in the revertive timer. This helps to prevent a situation in which numerous switch

occur when a synchronization source reports a higher quality for a brief time interval, followed by degradation of the source's quality. By default, the revertive timer is set to 0, which means that disabled.

To configure the revertive timer, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync revertive-timer set rev_time <rev_time>

root> platform sync revertive-timer show 

Configuring SSM Messages (CLI)

In order to provide topological resiliency for synchronization transfer, PTP 850 implements the passi SSM messages over the Ethernet and radio interfaces. SSM timing in PTP 850 complies with ITU. In addition, the SSM mechanism provides reference source resiliency, since a network may have m than one source clock.

The following are the principles of operation:

  • At all times, each source interface has a “quality status” which is determined as follows:
  • If quality is configured as fixed, then the quality status becomes “failure” upon interface failure as LOS, LOC, LOF).
  • If quality is automatic, then the quality is determined by the received SSMs. If no valid SSM are received or in case of interface failure (such as LOS, LOC, LOF), the quality becomes "fi
  • Each unit holds a parameter which indicates the quality of its reference clock. This is the qu current synchronization source interface.
    • The reference source quality is transmitted through SSM messages to all relevant radio interface
  • In order to prevent loops, an SSM with quality “Do Not Use” is sent from the active source (both radio and Ethernet).

In order for an interface to transmit SSM messages, SSM must be enabled on the interface. By is disabled on all interfaces.

When configuring SSM, the Sync mode must be set to its default setting of automatic. To display current Sync mode, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync mode show 

If the Sync mode is set to pipe, you must set it to automatic by entering the following comm. view:

root> platform sync mode set automatic 

To enable SSM on the radio interface, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ssm admin radio-interface slot 1 port 1 admin on 

To disable SSM on the radio interface, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ssm admin radio-interface slot 1 port 1 admin off 

To enable SSM on an Ethernet interface, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ssm admin eth-interface slot 1 port <2-4> admin on 

To disable SSM on an Ethernet interface, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ssm admin eth-interface slot 1 port <2-4> admin off 

The following command enables SSM on Ethernet port 3:

root> platform sync ssm admin eth-interface slot 1 port 3 admin on

Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock (CLI)

PTP 850 uses 1588v2-compliant Transparent Clock to counter the effects of delay variation. TranspaClock measures and adjusts for delay variation, enabling the PTP 850 to guarantee ultra-low PDV.

A Transparent Clock node resides between a master and a slave node, and updates the timestar PTP packets passing from the master to the slave to compensate for delay, enabling the terminal in the slave node to remove the delay accrued in the Transparent Clock node. The Transparent node is itself neither a master nor a slave node, but rather, serves as a bridge between master nodes.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring 1588 Transparent Clock (CLI) - 1

Note

1588 TC is not supported when Master-Slave communication is using the IPv6 transport. It is recommended to ensure that the PTP service uses the same type of equipment physical connection (SFP or RJ-45) on both sides of the radio link. This makes Transp Clock timestamping more accurate.

Make sure to enable Transparent Clock on the remote side of the link before enabling the local side.

PTP phase alignment relies on symmetric delay between the timestamping units. Therefore, to ensu best results, it is recommended to use the same port speed (e.g., 10 Gbps), media type (e.g., RJ and equipment type (e.g., PTP 850EX) on both sides of the link.

To configure Transparent Clock:

  1. Add the port receiving synchronization from the customer side as a Sync source, with Sync Priority 1. See Configuring an Ethernet Interface as a Synchronization Source (CLI).

  2. Add a radio interface as a Sync source, with lower priority than the port receiving synchronization the customer side. See Configuring a Radio Interface as a Synchronization Source (CLI).

  3. On the remote side of the radio link, add the radio interface facing the local device as a with Sync Interface Priority 1. See Configuring a Radio Interface as a Synchronization Source (CLI).

  4. Add the port receiving synchronization from the customer side as a Sync source, with Sync I Priority 1. See Configuring an Ethernet Interface as a Synchronization Source (CLI).

  5. Verify that the Sync Interface Quality Status of the first Sync source is not Failure. See Displaying Synchronization Status and Parameters (CLI).

  6. Enter the following command in root view to enable Transparent Clock: root> platform sync ptp-tc set admin enable

  7. Verify that Transparent Clock is enabled on the interface by entering the following command: root> platform sync ptp-tc show status

  8. If Transparent Clock is not enabled on the interface, enter the following command to enable root> platform sync ptp-tc set radio slot 1 port admin enable

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

For instructions on disabling Transparent Clock for the device or an individual interface see Disabling 1588 PTP Clock (CLI). Disabling 1588 PTP can drastically affect time synchronization performance in the entire network.

  1. Enter the following command in root view to assign the radio that will carry the PTP packet determine the direction of the PTP packet flow.

root> platform sync ptp-tc set radio slot <1-2> port direction

For Multi-Carrier ABC groups, use the following command:

root> platform sync ptp-tc set group-on-slot type enhanced-abc slot 1 group-number direction

The direction parameter must be set to different values on the two sides of the link, so that the local side to upstream, you must set the remote side to downstream, and vice versa. Of than that, it does not matter how you set this parameter.

To display the Transparent Clock settings, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ptp-tc show status

For example:

root>platform sync ptp-tc show statusPTP Transparent Clock admin: disable
Interface type|slot|portInterface AdminDirectionStatusFreq lock
radio1 | 1enabledownstreamdowndown

The following commands enable Transparent Clock and configure the radio to send PTP packet upstream:

root> platform sync ptp-tc set admin enable

root> platform sync ptp-tc set radio slot 1 port 1 direction upstream

  1. 1588 packets should be mapped to CoS 7. By default, 1588 packets are not mapped to any CoS. To

map 1588 packets to CoS 7, you must disable CoS preservation for 1588 packets. This must performed via CLI, using the following command:

root> ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve set admin disable

  1. To map 1588 packets to CoS 7, enter the following command:

root> ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve cos value 7

After you enter these commands, 1588 packets will automatically be mapped to CoS 7.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

If necessary, you can use the ethernet generalcfg ptp-tc cos-preserve cos value commar map a different CoS value (0-7) to 1588 packets, but it is recommended to map 1588 to CoS 7.

Configuring 1588 Boundary Clock (CLI)

Boundary Clock complies with ITU-T Telecom Profile G.8275.1. This enables PTP 850, with Boundary Clock, to meet the rigorous synchronization requirements of 5G networks.

The Boundary Clock in PTP 850 supports up to 16 1588 slave clock devices.

The Boundary Clock terminates the PTP flow it receives on the slave port, recovers the time an and regenerates the PTP flow on the master ports.

The Boundary Clock node selects the best synchronization source available in the domain and regenerates PTP towards the slave clocks. This reduces the processing load from grandmaster clock increases the scalability of the synchronization network, while rigorously maintaining timing accuracy.

The PTP 850 Boundary Clock mechanism requires the use of untagged Ethernet multicast PTP packet specified in G.8275.1.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring 1588 Boundary Clock (CLI) - 1

Note

Boundary Clock and Transparent Clock can be used together in the same PTP 850 nm

- 1588 BC can only be used in a chain or star topology. It cannot be used in a topology.

- 1588 BC is not supported when Master-Slave communication is using the IPv6 transp layer.

Enabling Boundary Clock (CLI)

To enable Boundary Clock, enter the following command in root view to enable:

root> platform sync ptp set admin enable

You can configure up to 16 interfaces per unit to be part of the Boundary Clock node. These be radio and Ethernet interfaces, as well as Multi-Carrier ABC groups.

For each interface, use the following commands to enable and define Boundary Clock. To enable Boundary Clock on an individual port, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ptp-bc interfaces set interface-type <interface-type>
slot 1 port <port> admin enable 

To set the port's role in the Boundary Clock node, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ptp-bc interfaces set interface-type <interface-type>
slot <slot> port <port> master-only <master-only> 

To enable Boundary Clock on a Multi-Carrier ABC group, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ptp-bc groups-on-slot set interface-type enhanced-abc slot 1 port 1 admin enable 

To set the group's role in the Boundary Clock node, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform sync ptp-bc groups-on-slot set interface-type enhanced-abc slot 1 port 1 master-only <master-only> 

Optionally, use the following command to set the Local Priority. The Local Priority value is taken account when two identical announce messages are received by at least two different ports. In a case, the Boundary Clock mechanism selects the slave port based on the best (lowest) Local Price default value is 128.

Configuring Access Control Lists (CLI)

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring Access Control Lists (CLI) - 1

Note:

For any overview of access controls lists, see Configuring Access Control Lists.

To add an access control rule, enter one of the following commands in root view.

  • To add an access control rule for an IPv4 IP address, enter the following command: root> platform security acl add ipv4 priority <1-4000> source-address prefix <0-32> protocol <any|tcp|udp|icmp] destination-port <0-65535> action
  • To add an access control rule for an IPv6 IP address, enter the following command: root> platform security acl add ipv6 priority <1-4000> source-address prefix <0-128> protocol destination-port <0-65535> action

- To edit an access control rule for an IPv4 IP address, enter the following command using the identify the rule:

root> platform security acl edit ipv4 priority <1-4000> source-address <x.x.x.x> prefix <0-32> protocol <any|tcp|udp|icmp] destination-port <0-65535> action <accept|drop> 

- To edit an access control rule for an IPv6 IP address, enter the following command using the identify the rule:

root> platform security acl edit ipv6 priority <1-4000> source-address
<y:y:y:y:y:y:y:y:y> prefix <0-128> protocol <any|tcp|udp|icmpv6> destination-port
<0-65535> action <accept|drop> 

Note the following:

- For the priority parameter, the lower the number, the higher the priority will be for the rule. For example, a rule with priority = 1 has the highest priority. Every rule must have a unique priority value. If you attempt to create a rule with an existing priority value, the command will return an error. The default value is 10.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note: - 1

Note

It is recommended to assign priorities in multiples of 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30).

  • If the source address is set to 0.0.0.0 (IPv4) or 0::0 (IPv6), the rule will be applied to all addresses, and the prefix parameter will have no meaning.
  • The prefix parameter determines the network subnet prefix to be validated by the rule. If you enter 0 for the prefix parameter, the rule will apply to any subnet.
  • For the protocol parameter, enter any to apply the rule to all protocol types.
  • For the destination port parameter, enter 0 to apply the rule to all destination ports.

When you submit the command, the rule is applied immediately, but is only saved temporarily, an minute failsafe timer begins. In order to confirm the rule, you must enter the following command. command will confirm all the rules you have configured in the previous five minutes.

root> platform security acl confirm-config-set

If, before confirming them, you want to discard the rules you have configured without waiting for minute timer to expire, enter the following command:

root> platform security acl revert-config

Note that rules that have not yet been confirmed are not included in backup configuration files, copied to mate if you perform a copy-to-mate operation before confirming the rule.

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Note - 1

Note

The purpose of the failsafe timer is to ensure that if you accidentally enter a rule that management connectivity to be lost, the rule will be discarded and management restored five minutes, with no user intervention required. A single timer runs for both IPv4 and starting with the first rule configured for either IPv4 or IPv6.

To display all rules for either IPv4 or IPv6 source addresses, enter one of the following commar view:

root> platform security acl show ipv4 root> platform security acl show ipv6

For example:

root> platform security acl show ipv4

Priority Source Address Prefix Protocol Destination Port Action Packet counter
2 0.0.0.0any tcp 80 drop 65
4 0.0.0.0any any 0 drop 32

The Packet counter column displays the number of matching packets that have been received by the

management interface, per rule. To clear the counters for all rules for a specific IP address type (IPv6), enter one of the following commands in root view:

root> platform security acl ipv4 clear-counters root> platform security acl ipv6 clear-counters

To delete a rule, enter one of the following commands in root view:

root> platform security acl delete ipv4 priority <1-4000> root> platform security acl delete ipv6 priority <1-4000>

To delete all rules for either IPv4 or IPv6 source addresses, enter one of the following common view:

root> platform security acl ipv4 clear-table root> platform security acl ipv6 clear-table

The following example allows all connections from the entire subnet 192.168.1/24. Note that you m two rules, the first (with higher priority) to accept the subnet and the second (with lower priority, other traffic.

root> platform security acl add ipv4 priority 3 source-address 192.168.1.0
prefix 24 protocol any destination-port 0 action accept
root> platform security acl add ipv4 priority 4 source-address 0.0.0.0
prefix 0 protocol any destination-port 0 action drop 

The following example blocks all TCP packets for port 80:

root> platform security acl add ipv4 priority 2 source-address 0.0.0.0 prefix 0 protocol tcp destination-port 80 action drop 

The following example blocks all traffic from subnet 10.12.20.1 - 10.12.20.254 (subnet 24):

root> platform security acl add ipv4 priority 1 source-address 10.12.20.0 subnet 24 protocol any destination-port 0 action drop

Configuring Syslog (CLI)

Syslog can be used to send Security Log, Event Log, and Configuration Log messages to up to external Syslog servers. This can simplify network monitoring and maintenance for operators by enable them to centralize troubleshooting and monitoring information for multiple network elements in a sin location.

For an overview of PTP 850's Syslog implementation, see Syslog Overview.

Syslog Configuration (CLI)

You can configure up to two Syslog servers, using either IPv4 or IPv6 format. To set the mess enter the following command in root view:

root> platform remote-syslog set-rfc-number <3163|5424> 

• 3163: RFC-3163 (default, also known as BSD format)
- 5424: RFC-5424

To configure a Syslog server with IPv4 IP address, enter the following command:

root> platform remote-syslog set server-id <1-2> admin-mode <2-3|enable|disable> ipv4-address <x.x.x.x> 

For example, to configure and enable the first Syslog server with IP address 192.168.1.18, enter th following command:

root> platform remote-syslog set server-id 1 admin-mode enable ipv4-address 192.168.1.18 

To configure a Syslog server with IPv6 IP address, enter the following command:

To enable or disable Secure Syslog, enter the following command in root view. By default, Security is disabled. This parameter is set globally for all configured Syslog servers.

root> platform remote-syslog set-secure-syslog-admin

When Secure Syslog is enabled, you can enter the following command in root view to display the connection status. This command displays the connection status of all configured Syslog servers.

root> root>platform remote-syslog get-secure-syslog-admin

Possible values are:

  • Status is empty – The Admin Mode for the server is set to Disable.
  • N/A – Secure Syslog Admin is set to or Disable. Enabling Secure Syslog enables TLS-based Sec Syslog.
  • Unreachable – The IP of the Syslog server is currently unreachable.
  • TLS Failure – TLS handshake failed because of either TLS version mismatch or cipher suite mismatch during the TLS handshake.
  • Authentication Failure – The server could not be authenticated.
  • Success – TLS authentication was performed successfully and the device successfully connected to the Syslog server.

Events that exist as of when the Syslog server is enabled are not sent. Only events generated after the server is enabled are sent.

Once you have configured a Syslog server, you cannot change the IP address from IPv4 to IPv6 from IPv6 to IPv4 format. Instead you must delete the server configuration and re-configure it with IP address.

To delete a Syslog server, enter the following command in root view:

root> platform remote-syslog delete server-id <1|2>

To display the Syslog server configuration, enter the following command in root view:

• Performing Radio Loopback (CLI)
- Configuring Service OAM (SOAM) Fault Management (FM) (CLI)

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Performing Diagnostics (CLI) - 1

Notes

To perform radio loopback, the radio must be set to its maximum TX power. For reliability loopback results, the loopback should be performed with the modulation at 1024 QAM or I Setting radio loopback, either RF or IF, will cause full loss of the end-to-end traffic and band management to remote units. To avoid permanent loss of traffic and in-band management, it is recommended to set a loopback timeout.

Do not change the TX or RX frequencies while radio loopback is active. Doing so with the radio link from being re-established after the loopback has finished.

You can perform loopback on a radio.

To set the timeout for a radio loopback, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]> radio loopbacks-timeout set duration <duration> 

To display the radio loopback timeout, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]>radio loopbacks-timeout show 

To activate an RF loopback, enter the following command in radio view:

radio[1/x]>rf loopback-rf set admin <admin> 

Table 251 Radio Loopback CLI Parameters

ParameterInput TypePermitted ValuesDescription

Configuring Service OAM (SOAM) Fault Management (FM) (CLI)

This section includes:

• SOAM Overview (CLI)
- Configuring MDs (CLI)
- Configuring MA/MEGs (CLI)
- Configuring MEPs (CLI)

  • Displaying MEP and Remote MEP Attributes (CLI)
  • Displaying Detailed MEP Error Information (CLI)
    • Performing Loopback (CLI)

SOAM Overview (CLI)

The Y.1731 standard and the MEF-30 specifications define Service OAM (SOAM). SOAM is concerned, detecting, isolating, and reporting connectivity faults spanning networks comprising multiple LANs, including LANs other than IEEE 802.3 media.

Y.1731 Ethernet FM (Fault Management) consists of three protocols that operate together to aid in management:

  • Continuity check
  • Loopback

PTP 850 utilizes these protocols to maintain smooth system operation and non-stop data flow.

The following are the basic building blocks of FM:

  • MD (Maintenance Domain) – An MD defines the management space on a network, typically c and operated by a single entity, for which connectivity faults are managed via SOAM.
  • MA/MEG (Maintenance Association/Maintenance Entity Group) – An MA/MEG contains a set of MEPs or MIPs.
  • MEP (MEG End Points) – Each MEP is located on a service point of an Ethernet service a boundary of the MEG. By exchanging CCMs (Continuity Check Messages), local and remote MEI have the ability to detect the network status, discover the MAC address of the remote unit/pthe peer MEP is defined, and identify network failures.
  • MIP (MEG Intermediate Points) – Similar to MEPs, but located inside the MEG and can only respond to, not initiate, CCM messages.
  • CCM (Continuity Check Message) – MEPs in the network exchange CCMs with their peers at intervals. This enables each MEP to detect loss of connectivity or failure in the remote MEP.

Configuring MDs (CLI)

In the current release, you can define one MD, with an MD Format of None.

To add an MD, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam md create md-id md-format none md-name md-level

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring MDs (CLI) - 1

Note

Support for MDs with the MD format Character String is planned for future release. In release, the software enables you to configure such MDs, but they have no functionality

The following command creates MD 5, named TR-988 with maintenance level 5.

root> ethernet soam md create md-id 5 md-format none md-name TR-988 md-level 5

To delete an MD, enter the following command in root view. Before deleting an MD, you must MA/MEG associated with the MD.

root> ethernet soam md delete md-id

To display a list of MDs and their attributes, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam md show

Table 252 Maintenance Domain CLI Parameters

ParameterInput TypePermitted ValuesDescription
md-id Number 1-4294967295
md-name String Upto 43 alphanumeric characters.An identifier for the MD. The MD Name should be unique over the domain.
md-level Number 0-7The maintenance level of the MD. The maintenance level ensures that the CFM frames for each domain do not interfere with each other. Where domains are nested, the encompassing domain must have a higher level than the domain it encloses. The maintenance level is carried in all CFM frames that relate to that domain. The maintenance level must be the same on both sides of the link.Note: In the current release, the maintenance level is not relevant to the SOAM functionality.

Configuring MA/MEGs (CLI)

You can configure up to 256 MEGs per network element. MEGs are classified as Fast MEGs or according to the CCM interval (see SOAM MEG CLI Configuration Parameters):

  • Fast MEGs have a CCM interval of 1 second.
  • Slow MEGs have a CCM interval of 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 10 minutes.

You can configure up to 32 MEP pairs per network element.

To add an MA/MEG, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam meg create meg-id meg-fmt charString meg-name meg-level service-id <0-4095>

Cambium Networks PTP 850EX - Configuring MA/MEGs (CLI) - 1

Note:

In the current release, charString is the only available MEG name format.

The following command creates MEG ID 1, named FR-10, with MEG level 4, assigned to Ethernet 20.

root> ethernet soam meg create meg-id 1 meg-fmt charString meg-name FR-10 meg-level 4 service-id 20

To set the interval at which CCM messages are sent within the MEG, enter the following comma view:

root> ethernet soam meg ccm-interval set meg-id <meg-id> ccm <ccm> 

The following command sets an interval of one second between CCM messages for MEG 1.

root> ethernet soam meg ccm-interval set meg-id 1 ccm intervals 

To determine whether MIPs are created on the MEG, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam meg mip set meg-id <meg-id> mhf 
<defMHFdefault|defMHFexplicit> 

For example, the following command creates MIPs on any service point in the MEG:

root> ethernet soam meg mip set meg-id 1 mhf defMHFdefault 

To delete a MEG, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam meg delete <meg-id> ccm <ccm>

ParameterInput TypePermitted ValuesDescription
meg-id Number 1-4294967295 Enteran ID for the MEG.
meg-nameString Upto 44 alphanumeric charactersA name to identify the MEG.
meg-level Number 0-7The MEG level must be the same for MEGs on both sides of the link. Higher levels take priority over lower levels.If MEGs are nested, the OAM flow of each MEG must be clearly identifiable and separable from the OAM flows of the other MEGs. In cases where the OAM flows are not distinguishable by the Ethernet layer encapsulation itself, the MEG level in the OAM frame distinguishes between the OAM flows of nested MEGs.Eight MEG levels are available to accommodate different
network deployment scenarios. When customer, provider, and operator data path flows are not distinguishable based on means of the Ethernet layer encapsulations, the eight MEG levels can be shared among them to distinguish between OAM frames belonging to nested MEGs of customers, providers and operators. The default MEG level assignment among customer, provider, and operator roles is:The customer role is assigned MEG levels 6 and 7The provider role is assigned MEG levels 3 through 5The operator role is assigned MEG levels: 0 through 2The default MEG level assignment can be changed via a mutual agreement among customer, provider, and/or operator roles.The number of MEG levels used depends on the number of nested MEs for which the OAM flows are not distinguishable based on the Ethernet layer encapsulation.
service-idNumber 0-4095Assign theMEG to an Ethernet service. You must define the service before you configure the MEG.

Configuring MEPs (CLI)

Each MEP is attached to a service point in an Ethernet service. The service and service point configured before you configure the MEP. See Configuring Ethernet Services (CLI).

Each MEP inherits the same VLAN, C-VLAN, or S-VLAN configuration as the service point on which resides. See Configuring Service Points (CLI).

In order to set the VLAN used by CCM/LBM/LTM if the service point is defined ambiguously (for PIPE, Bundle-C, Bundle-S, or All-to-One), the service point's C-VLAN/S-VLAN parameter should not be to N.A.

To configure a MEP, you must:

  1. Add MEPs to the relevant MA/MEG. In this stage, you add both local and remote MEPs. Th you define at this point is the MEP ID. See Adding Local and Remote MEPs (CLI).
  2. Configure the local MEPs. At this point, you determine which MEPs are local MEPs. The syst automatically defines the other MEPs you configured in the previous step as remote MEPs. Se Configuring the Local MEPs (CLI).
  3. Enable the Local MEPs. See Enabling Local MEPs (CLI).

Adding Local and Remote MEPs (CLI)

Performing Loopback (CLI)

To set the interval between loopback message transmissions in a loopback session, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam loopback interval set meg-id mep-id interval <0-60000>

For example, the following command sets the loopback interval for MEP 25 on MEG 1 to 5 sec

root> ethernet soam loopback interval set meg-id 1 mep-id 25 interval 5000

To set the loopback message frame size and data pattern, enter the following command in root

root> ethernet soam loopback data set meg-id mep-id size pattern

For example, the following command sets the loopback frame size to 128 and the pattern to zero 25 on MEG 1 to 5 seconds:

root> ethernet soam loopback data set meg-id 1 mep-id 25 size 128 pattern zeroPattern

To set the loopback priority bit size and drop-enable parameters, enter the following command in view:

root> ethernet soam loopback prio set meg-id mep-id prio drop

For example, the following command sets a priority bit size of 5 and enables frame dropping fo MEG 1 to 5 seconds:

root> ethernet soam loopback prio set meg-id 1 mep-id 25 prio 5 drop true

To set the loopback destination by MAC address, set the number of loopback messages to trans the interval between messages, and initiate the loopback, enter the following command in root vie

root> ethernet soam loopback send meg-id mep-id dest-mac-addr tx-num tx-interval

For example, the following command initiates a loopback session with the interface having MAC and 00:0A:25:38:09:4B. The session is configured to send 100 loopback messages at six-second intervals

root> ethernet soam loopback send meg-id 1 mep-id 25 dest-mac-addr 00:0A:25:38:09:4B tx-num 100 tx-interval 6000

To set the loopback destination by MEP ID, set the number of loopback messages to transmit a interval between messages, and initiate the loopback, enter the following command in root view:

root> ethernet soam loopback send meg-id mep-id dest-mep-id tx-num tx-interval

For example, the following command initiates a loopback session with the interface having MAC at 00:0A:25:38:09:4B. The session is configured to send 100 loopback messages at six-second intervals

root> ethernet soam loopback send meg-id 1 mep-id 25 dest-mac-addr 00:0A:25:38:09:4B tx-num 100 tx-interval 6000
